Well its only been 3 months since the last time I put anything on here. I don't even know if anyone looks at these anymore. Well lets see since school got out Wyatt has had a birthday and turned 16 which he thinks is the greatest thing in the world to be able to drive.. We had our 4th of July bbq which was fun as always. We went camping over the 24th of July up to Fairview canyon and it started out ok but Jeremy and Bailey had a little accident and another 4 wheeler of ours is out of commission now. I think they are more trouble than they are worth (the 4 wheelers not Jeremy and Bailey hahaha). School starts back up in two weeks (yipee).. Oh and in case you all don't know my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in July and is undergoing chemo til October. Her hair just started to fall out (how sad) but she is doing really well.. I think that is about it for now. Thats plenty..

Wyatt's cake.. Yum

This is my mad face.. Are you scared?

Make a wish.. "I wish for a new truck"

I don't think this is how you are
supposed to play..

Look at those legs.. woo hoo..

A gazillion (is that word) fireworks..

Cute blue eyes..

"Man I am all tuckered out from
volleyball"

Cute!!

Cute!!

"Grandpa what is all over your
face?"

"I want to go for a ride."

Well its been a few months since the last post. Seems I get worse at this whole blog thing.. I always forget about updating it. Since the last post not much has been happening. We had Jaden's 14th birthday can you believe that.. I can remember when I turned 14 and now my youngest child is that old.. Barak and Brittany closed on their house finally and are all set to start moving this week. They are super excited and I think it will be good for them. Their house is so cute and bonus its only 5 minutes from us so I will probably get to see her more often.. I am sure they will come for dinner more..(Try to save a little cash) LOL. Well school is out in about 11 days I can't believe how fast this year has flown by. Wyatt gets his actual drivers license next month and he is out on his own driving.. Hopefully he can find a job to pay for all his gas cause I am sure he will never be home..

Here is Jaden's cake he helped decorate
he went a little overboard on the sprinkles

Ready set BLOW!!

Look at my wad of cash...

Smile!! (not sure Ty knows how)

The Boys

We went to the Supercross
races and I had to post this funny pic.
My two boys thought she was so cute..
I am not sure about Barak he didnt say..

Sleigh Ride

2010-01-31T10:39:00.007-07:00

Ty and I had the chance to go on a sleigh ride with Jim and Nicki and her family up in Wolf mountain. It was a lot of fun despite the fact it was really cold. It was good to get out and do something I have never done.. And nice to spend some time with their family. Here are some pics of the really cold day.

Jessie really loved the horses that pulled
the sled. She also loved the 5 dogs that were
there that rode on the sleds with all of us.

Here are the horses that pulled the
two sleds we all rode on.

Lots of SNOW.

It was really cold but so pretty.

On the sleds with some of the dogs!

There were a herd of Elk that we
rode right by.

This was us freezing!!

Sad News

2010-01-25T07:44:00.005-07:00

Well we had some really sad news. Last week on Thursday our really good friend Jeremy had an accident at work and he passed away.. We are very sad and will miss him very much. Here are a couple of pics from our family vacation.. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his sweet wife and those two sweet girls.. We love you!!

New Year

2010-01-15T09:20:00.010-07:00

Well Christmas has came and went another year over.. Its seems to have come and gone just like that.. Here are some pics from Christmas party this year we actually had two one right after the other all in the same weekend. That's the way to do it get it all done at once. We also added a new member to our family.. Yes another dog I must need my head checked.. One dog was more than enough. This one is sooo cute but a big pain in the butt since she is just a puppy and chews EVERYTHING... The dog actually belongs to Jaden but it is I who takes care of it the most.. Her name is diesel and I will be glad when it warms up so she can go outside... Well in case anybody cares this year is the year I turn 40!!! Crazy but I have decided this might be my best year yet.. Right??? 40 is the new 20 even if it doesn't feel like it..

Isn't she so cute!! Don't be fooled she is super
mischeivious.

All the Grand kids!! Hard to believe
they are all so grown up. Crazy

Oh how cute!! Smile Lec!!

My husband is a goof ball!!

Uncle Ty what did you put on my face?
Oh just some whip cream.. How mean!!

Well its been a long time since I updated this blog. A lot has happened since the last post. Brittany and Barak got married on Oct. 17th it turned out really good. I was worried for nothing. LOL everyone told me it would be fine and I should have just listened. Then after the wedding came Thanksgiving and a trip to mesquite. It was really nice to get out of town and visit with everyone especially baby Charlee.. She is so cute. Now we are back and I can't believe Christmas is right around the corner. Crazy.. This year has flown by. Well hopefully I can be better at updating this blog in the future and better at remembering my camera so I can take pictures. Here are a few pics from the wedding there were way to many to post them all.

Brittanys Bridal Shower

2009-09-30T17:46:00.002-06:00

Sept 12th was Brittany's bridal shower. Originally I had all the pics posted on here but I took them down and only re-posted a few of them. Some were kind of naughty. We had a great time and was really happy to see everyone. A few people like Aunt Glenny and Sheri we haven't seen in a while. Way to long.. So I was glad they could make it.. Brittany got a lot of great stuff and of course the girls (Brandie, Whitney, Shelby) they took care of the naughty stuff since Britt doesn't have any sisters.. They stepped up.. Way to go girls..

What's New

2009-09-10T17:43:00.000-06:00

Well its been super long since I posted anything on here. My mind and schedule has been preoccupied lately with wedding plans. The date seems to be coming so fast I feel like I will never be ready. I have dreams of everything going wrong on that day.. Everyone says it will be fine. Lets hope. Wyatt started high school and got his learners permit so that is kind of scary. I am not ready for him to grow up. Jaden is in 8th grade and that I think is even more scary my baby is a teenager. I feel old.. Not to mention I just had my 39th birthday HOLY COW.. One year closer to 40 which I think is freaky. But hey 40 is the new 20 right???

Jadens crash

2009-07-12T13:06:00.000-06:00

Well the boys decided to go riding out at Five mile to try out a new motorcycle we might want to buy. Well it is little faster than the one Jaden is used to riding. At the end of the day when they had decided to come home Jaden was just riding by the truck and made it to 4th gear and the powerband kicked in and he was going to fast and lost control and flipped it over. These are his wounds.. You can't really see the side of his eye but it is starting to black and his lip is swollen and he has a cut underneath.. You can't really see that either since his lip is so fat.. Talk about crazy boys... Thank goodness he was wearing his helmet.

4th of July BBQ

2009-07-08T19:47:00.000-06:00

Jaden thought you should jump down the slide.
To heck with sliding on your butt.. Thats old school..

Wyatt playing catch. Its July and he is
wearing a stocking hat.. I think he looks like an elf.

Hey what you lookin at?

The redneck way to play croquet.
With a hammer and a baseball(since there
wasnt enough mallots and croquet balls
to go around).

Who's turn is it?

Marc just chillin eating some good food. Jay didn't
come he wasn't feeling well.. Yeah right..

Hamming it up for the cameras.. Hey those
are some nice gas pumps...

I think the big kids were having more fun on the
slide than the little kids.. Jaden and Bailey are maniacs.

MMMM good food.. Nice hair Jaden.. Where's your
food Ty?

Get cookin Uncle Ty...

Britt just hanging out..

Watch me shake my beautiful hair...

Bailey and Jaden squirting all the little girls..

A few serious dudes...

For our vacation this year with the Rose family we went to Bear Lake and camped for a week. It was awesome fun and the lake was so pretty and blue.

It was kind of cold the first day we were there and it rained a lot.

We took a 4-wheeler ride to Ephraims Grave the stone behind the kids is as tall as the bear that was shot and buried there. It was 9 ft tall.. That is a big bear.

The next day we drove and went to Minnetonka cave. It was pretty creepy going in that is pretty much how dark it was and it was a long way down. Total of 444 steps each way.
Lets just say I was really tired by the time we got back out.

This is from inside the cave some of the stalagmites. It was a pretty cool cave.

That same day we went to Paris Idaho and went on a tour of the tabernacle. It was very pretty and really interesting. Population in Paris, Idaho 261. Big Town.

We did a lot of riding on the days we didn't go anywhere. Here we are standing in front of a cliff.. No we did not both plan to wear red. LOL

Here is most of the clan I think Brittany and myself are the only ones missing. We have Jeremy and his wife Kris and their daughters Mandy and Brindy. The rest you know.

On Saturday the second to the last day we were camping we went to Bear Lake with Jeremy's family and his sister. They brought their jet ski's.. Ty had to put them in the lake.. Be careful Jeremy don't get your shorts wet...LOL

Here are the boy's getting ready for a ride on the Jet ski's and of course Wyatt being a goof ball.

This is Oakley.. Barak and Brittany's new addition to their family.. Let me tell you they treat it just like their baby.. It's pretty funny

Well school is finally over thank goodness no more homework for awhile. Brittany moved out to her own house on May 28th. She decided to plant some flowers to make it look pretty. Of course Barak is out of town so mom came to help.

Brittany graduated on May 29th we were so excited and proud of her. She finally made it. She thought it was a long time coming but for us the time passed way fast.

Her cute cake..Chocolate on chocolate of course....

Wyatt the big goof ball.

Saturday May 30th we had a bbq at our house for Britt but it turned out it was more than just a graduation party.. Friday night Barak asked Britt to marry him and of course she said yes.. So now we have to plan a wedding.. I am very happy for them and we will be happy to officially welcome Barak to our family. Jim and Nicki and their kids came all the way from South Weber to congratulate Britt.

The boss man..

This is Baby Miya.. She is so cute. (Barak's Neice)

This is Barak's family. His Mom Heidi and stepdad Keith and his sister's Brin and Adara..
