A want or A need? I call it a SPLURGE!!

I have been wanting to get a good watch. I have been looking around the internet and came across the Fossil brand. I saw the Stella Multifunction watches of every color and fell in love with all of them. They come in bright colors and the face of the watch is full of Bling!! Down below is a picture of one of them. They all look the same except the watch belt can be any color you want. Regular price for one of these watches is about $95.00 but in Amazon.com I have seen them as low as $59.00. Plus I went to Macy's the other day to check them out in person and they had some clearance ones for about $59.00. I know that this is a Splurge for me. But I love the watch, I tried one on and it felt and looked very nice. Let me know what you all think about it? I don't wear a watch normally that's the reason why I want to get a nice one so that I can get used to wearing one, it would help me tons.

Lazy summer days.....

Yesterday we didn't have anything to do. Actually I did have stuff to do around the house but I dismissed that thought and planned to do something with the kids. I decided that we could take the Frontrunner and Trax over to the Gateway mall and have a treat and do some window shopping. So that is what we did. The kids enjoyed the ride on the train and it was relaxing to ride in it and not be driving in the freeway. It wasn't an elaborate outing we just wanted to get out of the house for cheap. I don't have batteries in my camera so I couldn't take any pictures. I guess I was too lazy to cause my phone has a pretty good camera that I could've used.

Camping at Lava Hot Springs, Idaho

Last weekend we went camping with our whole family. Lava Hot Springs was our destination for 2 nights 3 days. We arrived friday evening to the KOA campsites, set up our tents and had dinner. The following day we went fishing, swimming at their big pools and had some dutch oven dinner and hung out with the family.





Our Summer Vacation

This year we stayed close by and had a "staycation". For a whole week we participated in different activities. On monday of June 7th we went to the movies and watched "Tale of Desperaux" and went bowling at FatCats.




Our next adventure was to Bear Lake. The weather for that week was not to promising so we headed there on Tuesday which was suppose to be one of the sunnier days of that week. It was still cool and the water was cold. We made the best of it and had lots of fun. Jorge's parents came with us and they really enjoyed it. The kids ofcourse had a blast in the water (they really did not care that it was cold). We had fun looking for seashells and building sand castles and even a sand bridge. After the lake we couldn't head home without getting some Aggie Ice Cream and some Gossner cheese at the cheese factory in Logan.






The next day we went to LAGOON. It had been 5 yrs since we didn't go to Lagoon and it was actually braden's first time there. We had a ton of fun riding the rides and getting wet. We got there around noon and left at around 7pm after a big thunderstorm hit and we all got soaked. We then had some dinner at Chili's.







Friday we headed up to Park City. The day was cold and rainy but we went anyways. We headed up to Midway to "The Homestead Resort" and had some lunch at "Fanny's Grill" we really like that place. Their food is great and we spend our Honeymoon there 11 yrs ago. We love to go back and show our kids. Hopefully one day we can stay there again. We had a great time during this week of vacationing. Eventhough we didn't travel anywhere we were able to relax and have fun with the kids.
