Fights

2012-02-01T14:43:00.000-08:00

Cody had a chance to meet a UFC legend Vitor Belfort when we were in St. George last weekend. Cody was like a little kid meeting his hero it was so cute. We had gone to watch the fights that night at the Dixie Center and Vitor was the coach to one of the kids fighting. Most of the people there must not watch the UFC or follow it very good because we don't think they knew who he was. Cody just walked up and told him that he is a huge fan and asked if he could get a picture with him and he gladly did it.

Monday Drive

2012-01-03T10:52:00.000-08:00

So we went for a drive yesterday and we got lucky seeing lots of deer. We counted at least 8 spikes to two points. Then right before we were going to head home Sayd says look tons of deer and then she started yelling HORNS HORNS I SEE HORNS. This is the four point she spotted she was pretty proud of herself. We stayed watching him for a while cause we could see more below him but they were staying hidden pretty good.

This is just a side view of the same four point. Then from below this massive two point came up. He is the one in the top left corner he is way bigger then the four point. This shot of him kinda sucks but you can still see how tall his horns are compared to the four point. I am glad we got to see these two bucks to make our ride a little funner for the kids.

Christmas Eve to the day after

2011-12-27T08:17:00.000-08:00

We all went up to Gramzo and Ross's house for a family dinner and get together on Christmas eve.

Almost everyone was there and the kids had a blast playing with Tylie.

The kids all worn out from playing so hard.Cody's Grandma was so happy to have everyone up there together.Cody's Mom got the kids each a beanie.The kids always love when Grandma Michelle comes they think she is so fun.So Michelle kept holding Gavin down and it made him so mad so he got Cody to hold her down for him.This is the gingerbread house all the kid helped make.These two play so good together and for the most part they let Gav play too.Matching Christmas P.J.'s this is our family Tradition.Sayd was so excited she woke up at 3 am we made her go back to bed til 6. We actually had to wake Gav up.The kids got so spoiled they got everything they had ask for and tons more.Cody got a nice Tapout sweater, watch, and blanket.My parents came to see all of the kids stuff and to give them more.So Cody totally went over board this year we had agreed to not spend that much but he didn't mind that rule. He spoiled me with this Canon Rebel T3 oh my I am just so excited about this. I Love him so much and he listens to what I want. I really had no idea I was getting it. I have already taken like 150 pictures just seeing how it works. All the picture from here down on the blog are taken with my new toy. THANKS BABE I LOVE YOU....Gav got this race car track it is pretty fun.Cody's Dad and Sherri came over and spoiled the whole family with some really nice gifts thanks so much.Sherri just gets right in there and plays with the kids we just love them.Gav also got a paper jam and both the kids have a blast using it.Great Grandpa Hare came over too and gave us a nice card and present.Cody played just dance 3 with Sayd I guess I am a party pooper cause I don't dance not even for fakes. I just love trying my new camera out.This one is a little blurry but it's cause I cropped it after I took it. I was from a picture like the one below this one. This herd of Elk we saw was just out of town here in Fillmore and it had at least a hundred head.Playing with cousins.Aunt Shandi came and gave the Kids and us some really fun things Thanks so much. The kids just love seeing their Aunt they had been so excited.

We had such a good Christmas seeing everyone. Merry Christmas Everyone and a Happy New Years....I Think this is the cutest picture of our puppy so far. (Hoss) Until my next blog and the next one won't be so long.

Bring Him Home Santa ( Pause blog music to hear) This brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it. I heard this when Cody was in Iraq in 2007

2011-12-23T08:13:00.000-08:00

ELK

2011-12-23T07:58:00.000-08:00

Sorry this picture isn't the best but you can tell its elk. We were out on a ride looking for deer by half-way-hill and came on a herd of Elk. We counted thirty and two were Spikes. The kids thought it was pretty cool to see them so close to us.

Puppy Overload

2011-12-18T18:05:00.000-08:00

So Friday we went up north to get the kids new puppy Hoss. This is their big Christmas present and they love Him so so much. He is a white lab.

This is Beckett Tia's new puppy we picked him up for them the same day.

Hoss getting use to His new Family.

I Think this picture is just so cute.

Hoss was giving Gavin's ear kisses.

Both the puppies fell asleep at the same time.

The puppies playing together.

We went for a Sunday drive and Sayd and Hoss fell asleep in the back of the Bronco

We were looking for deer and elk we only ended up seeing about six deer.

Gav trying to spot some deer.

Sayd right when she woke up looks like she had a good nap.

How cute is this... We are having so much fun and also realizing just how much work a puppy is. Like last night I was up till 3am with him I am so hoping that tonight goes better.

Christmas Lights

2011-12-06T15:03:00.000-08:00

Cody put up our christmas lights and look how cute they turned out. Thanks Babe...

Thanksgiving @ Grandma's and More

2011-12-03T09:56:00.000-08:00

We all went to Grandmas M's house for Thanksgiving. It was a lot of fun and We ate tons of yummy food. I am so glad that Cody was able to be home for it.

My little niece Taelor just loves Cody so much. She had such a hard time when he was gone. She made her Family pray for him at every meal and even at bedtime. I guess little kids are just closer to Heavenly Father and can feel that something is going on. She wanted a hug from Cody the day he got home but we couldn't make that happen beings that they live in St. George and we are in Fillmore. When Thanksgiving got here she gave him the biggest hugs ever. Thanks for all your prayers Tae.

Gav and Cody built a big block tower then Gav kicked it over.

My Aunt Jamie came over to say hi to everyone. I don't think I have seen her for like 5 years.

Mom and baby Braxton.

Cody playing Mario on Saydee's DSi.

The kids had a lot of fun playing outside with all the cousins.

Sandi and Brett

Oh what a little cutie. (Braxton)

Our little chickens finally started to lay eggs they are tiny but are still good to eat.

Oh I just love our truck it looks so good. We bought a fifth wheel so now we have to lower it so we can tow it. I will post an after picture of it when we get it done.

The kids were looking for treasure out at the sand pits.

Cody took the kids out to shoot their BB guns in the back yard. They had fun shooting the balloons we had put up for Cody when he came home.

This cute little kitty showed up at our house with a hurt paw so we started feeding it and takingcare of it. I guess it kinda adopted us as his family. The kids named him Tiger and he totally loves us. He starts to purr before you even start petting him.

Sayd just loves Tiger and takes good care of him. His paw is all the way better now and he still stays at our house so I guess he is our cat for good now.

Welcome Back Babe

2011-12-01T19:54:00.000-08:00

We are so happy that Cody finally got to come home...

We love you Honey and have missed you so so much.

...FALL LEAVES...

2011-11-03T16:49:00.000-07:00

I promised the kids a toy if they would help me rake all of our leaves in the yard. I don't think they knew what they were getting into. Take a good look at our massive pile of leaves.

So when all the leave fell out of this tree we discovered that we had two hornet nests in it. It's hard to tell but they are at least the size of a soccer ball. I guess we will have to take care of them next spring or something. Well tomorrow I will be lucky if I can walk after almost three hours of raking leaves. I am glad this is only a once a year thing :(

Halloween

2011-11-01T06:58:00.000-07:00

My little Dino and Hippie Girl. The kids were so excited for their Halloween party at school.

Saydee (your so beautiful)
Trunk-or-treating

The kids at Grandpa Hare's. The kids made off with a full bag of candy each.

I did dress up for a minute like a bag of jelly beans but soon found out that it wasn't easy to get in and out of the car and drive the car with it on so I took it off. Happy Halloween Everyone.

More Pictures

Ward Halloween Party

2011-10-26T20:40:00.000-07:00

What a fun party the kids got to play games, decorate pumpkins, and also trunk- or -treat. We had a blast and the kids loved getting to run around with their friend and getting to dress up early. Sayd made a scary witch and Gav was a big mean Dino. THANKS Sherry for the witch stuff.

Our New Fifth wheel

2011-10-22T15:30:00.000-07:00

Yay its here I just hope I did a good job. So far we like it I guess we will find out if we love it the first time we take it out. The kids are so excited and want to sleep in it tonight I don't really know if that is going to happen.

School Pictures

2011-10-18T16:46:00.000-07:00

The kids had their school pictures done and I think they both turned out cute. I also had Sally take their pictures for back to school and should be getting them soon and then I will upload them.

Fall Leaves

2011-10-09T15:39:00.000-07:00

The kids have been having a blast today playing in the leaves. This could entertain them for hours.

Salsa

2011-10-04T18:25:00.000-07:00

Its that time of year again freshly bottled salsa can be smelt all the way down the block. So this last weekend My Mom and Sister Tiffanie came up to help me make salsa and just hang out. Tiff brought her two cute kids with her and the kids loved playing with their cousins. Saydee and Gavin even helped prepare the tomatoes days before they came and we froze them. So the salsa turned out HOT and GREAT. I heard that you could bottle breads so we tried it with banana and it worked so I am sending it to Cody. I bet he will love having homemade banana bread half a world away :)

The kids couldn't get enough of baby Braxton. He is such a little cutie pie.

Saydee just loves holding him and playing with him.
Gavin and Taelor were inseparable they played so good together.

Grandma Michelle's House

2011-10-04T17:56:00.000-07:00

On Sunday the kids and I went with Cody's Gram to see Michelle in Monroe.

We ate yummy sloppy Joes, Gramzo's cookies, and cake lucky us.

Baykyr's boyfriends little boy handed this chicken to Mindie by the look on her face she doesn't like it.
Yummy cake

Loves for everyone. We had a lot of fun and the kids didn't want to leave.

REMEMBERING 9/11

2011-09-11T08:17:00.000-07:00

...Land of the Free Because of The Brave...
It hard to think of what can happen so fast and take so many lives. It makes me mad that people protest this war would those people want more of these events to happen. Just tell that to the people that have lost loved ones on 9/11 or in the war that followed. This is Cody's third deployment since 9/11/2001 and all for the same reason to fight against terrorism. I can't say how proud I am that he is over there protecting us so we can be free here. We love you honey and can't wait for you to be back. Thanks for being our HERO.

Sayd's Picture Taking

2011-09-10T14:52:00.000-07:00

I forgot to put this picture on my last post of camping. Saydee took this picture of her and Gav it is quite a cute picture.

Camping up Enterprise

2011-09-07T14:16:00.000-07:00

Over Labor day weekend The kids and I went camping with my parents. Grandpa took them on a lot of adventures so my mom and I got a little rest time.

The kids loved climbing the rocks. I didn't get pictures of it but Sayd jumped from one rock to the other and stood up and hit her head hard on another rock and her head was bleeding pretty bad. Gav came running back as fast as he could to make sure she got help how cute. She lost her hat cause she was freaking out so Gav went and found it for her.

We had a tarp up for shade and it made a good screen for charades.

Grandpa taking the kids on a 4-wheeler ride and they came back with 2 little frogs.

Gramp using his Gold screw at least I think that is what it is called.

He did find some really fine Gold.This is the baby Scorpion look at the size compared to the red ant.

Sayd's baby lizard I had a hard time making her let it go. She said she loved it but we can't take every creature home.

My Sis Tia and her Family came up the last night. The kids had a ton of fun running around together.

This is Gavin's fuzzy bug I have no clue what it is it looks like a bee without wings.

This is where the kids and I stayed with my Mom and Dad.

Baby frogs.

We brought them home and let them go in the yard. Who knows where they are now I wouldn't dout it if meika the cat ate them.

THE ZOO

2011-08-21T19:08:00.000-07:00

This weekend we spent Saturday at the Zoo with Cody's Family it was a really fun day.

The Gorilla didn't want to play he looked exhausted just like us at the end of the day.

What cute kids just loving every bit of the zoo.

Seeing the Dino's I really thought Gav would be more into them but all he cared about was seeing the Crocodiles.

Oh NO the Dino ate Gavin.

I loved seeing the baby Elephant she was cute. She even picked up a stick and tried to eat it.

This vulture was fun to watch and it watched us back.

The kids had to get a drink out of the lions mouth.

Dino Tracks

and Bones Gav was amazed that this only part of a Dino leg.

The kids were just so excited to see Aunt Shandi they love her so much.

Gav had to try this little digging thing out he was getting pretty good at it.

All the Girls and really Gav is in there too he is hiding behind my leg.

Gav by the big Dino and they really made noises and moved SCARY

This is Gavin's favorite part the CROCODILES!!!

Riding the Carousal so it use to be so much funner. I did not like spinning in circles I felt so dizzy by the 2nd ride that was the end of that.

Dip'n' Dots so yummy that was my favorite part. Just cause it was so hot and being there for over 5 hours take a tole on you.

Last part of the Zoo we had to ride the train so all ten of us got on and went for a spin. This truly was a great day it was a lot of fun. After the Zoo we went out to eat at Ruth's Cafe it was suggested by Aunt Shandi and everyone went. The food was really good we will definitely have to go back and try something else. Thanks everyone for a great day the only part that wasn't great is that Cody couldn't be there to share in the fun. WE LOVE YOU CODY.

New baby Chicken

2011-07-08T21:06:00.000-07:00

So a couple weeks ago My Uncle Ken and My Dad built the kids a chicken coop and when Ken came down yesterday he brought the kids chickens. There is actually two Hens and two Babies that are now three days old. They are so cute and tiny the kids didn't want to come in last night and this morning at 6:30am they wanted to go out and check on them. They love them very much. Our cat Meika just lays and watches them she better leave them alone. Thanks Ken...

The Chicken Coop

2011-06-26T10:18:00.000-07:00

My Uncle Ken recently re-roofed his house and he got talking with the kids and told them they could have some of his chickens. Well I didn't have anywhere to put them and he told me that he would build them a little chicken coop so we agreed. Here is the chicken coop from start to finish.
My Dad was there the whole time too helping out.

The kids warmed right up to Ken. Gavin even started calling him Uncle Kenny.
The kids even got right in there and helped me paint it so it is ready for the little chicks in a few weeks. Thanks Ken and Dad the kids are so excited to get their new chickens.

Camping Up Kanosh

2011-05-02T05:34:00.000-07:00

So for Easter we decided to go camping up Kanosh with Cody's Gram and Ross. We brought the kids 4-wheelers so they could ride around and stay busy.
Sayd had fun riding her bike too.
Gav borrowed Daddy's knife to sharpen a stick. I am glad he has gloves so he wouldn't cut himself.
The kids love to color and we did a lot of it cause it was stormy most of the time.

The kids trying to dig a hole with the big shovel. I don't really know if this was a good Idea but they did it anyways.
Sayd got her turn sharpening a stick I made her wear Gav's gloves.
Yummy fire roasted hot dogs this is the only way to eat hot dogs.

This is how we got firewood back to camp.
The kids having fun on their 4-wheelers.

Tin-foil dinners and they turned out so good.
Gramzo and Ross watching the kids being crazy on their 4-wheelers.

Cooking breakfast in the trailer. We had pancakes, eggs, and sausage what a good breakfast.
Lots of loves for Gramzo.
Building a big fire to stay warm.

Cody helping Gav learn to ride his bike without training wheels.

The kids and Cody climbed up this hill you can barely see them in the picture. We had a fun time camping I hope we get to do a lot more of it before Cody leaves.

TONS OF FUN

2011-03-18T07:57:00.000-07:00

We went for a drive out by Devils Kitchen we had a lot of fun. Gav didn't want me to take his picture but I did catch this one.

Sayd driving the Nissan she was kinda scared Cody told her if you run off the road I will help you. So she wasn't paying attention and she ran off the road. She was wanting him to help her but we were just laughing cause she drove over two huge sage brush it was so funny.

We got out to let the dog and the kids get some of their energy out.

Sayd always has to bring home a rock or two or three. I find them all over the house and in the laundry.

Everyone having fun climbing this gravel hill. So if you see where Gav is he decided to run from there this was not a good idea. I have never seen him go so fast and he did good till the last few steps then he tumbled onto his face. Poor little guy he thought it was a fun thing till he fell and got rocks in his shoes that is all he was worried about and he didn't even cry.

The kids and I went to St. George for a few days cause I didn't have to work and Cody had Guard. It was fun to see all the Family. Gav caught this stray cat it liked him for a minute and then decided it hated him and he wanted down.

We had Tiffanie's and Brandon's Birthday party they both got Nerf guns and Tanner brought all of his so everyone had a Nerf war.

Poor kids Aunt Tia is on the attack. Just kidding Tia you are just the only one I caught in war mode with all the kids running from you.

Gav and Tanner playing the Wii.

The girls played a few computer games. The funny thing I went in there and they were on KSL looking at how much horses cost. How in the heck does a 6 year old know how to run KSL. hahahaha it was pretty funny.

So after going and seeing Chloe's hamster the kids just had to have one of their own and not only did we get one but we got two. Great what have we gotten ourselves into now.

Gav just loves Licorice she is such a good dog.

All the cousins went to the park for an hour of fun.

Gavin liked to push Tae on the swing.

K I don't have that great of pictures of the hamsters yet but I will get some and post them.

Gav named his hamster Golden and Sayd's is Sunshine it was Minion but she changed it. The girls also played just dance 2 on the wii I just can't get the video to load SORRY. We had a lot of fun but it is nice to be back home with Cody/Daddy we missed him so much love you babe.

Wrestling, 6 year Anniversary, and Mudding

2011-03-05T08:45:00.000-08:00

Wrestling Fun...

Gavin running wild...He won this match. I don't have any pictures with him pinning the boy down. I was video taping too so it gets tricky.

Cody trying to calm him down he gets a little crazy at times.

So for our 6 year Anniversary we went up to Salt Lake. Cody's family watched the kids for us so we could relax..

Gav playing with his new toys in the kitchen sink at Aunt Shandi's.

Cody showing his mom the blog and what we have been up too.

Sayd playing with the puppy.

Sayd loving on Grandma. So I feel super stupid that I didn't take any pictures of Cody and I on our Anniversary but we had fun. Cody surprised me with a massage and facial at a spa it was 2 hours of heaven. Thanks Babe. We went out to eat a few times and even ate street tacos oh my I could eat those all day.. and for 2/$1.50 who would beat that price. It was great to get away and have some fun. We also went and found a few parts for the Nissan at a few salvage yards.

On the 3rd Gav had another match. Gramzo, Ross, Grandpa Bart, and Sherry all came he loved that. He didn't really seem very into this match maybe next time.

Yesterday we went for a little picnic in the mountains.. This was a blast and a fun little family outing.

Building a little fire to roast hot dogs and shrimp..

The kids trying to eat without the dog stealing their food and staying away from the smoke from the fire.

Sissie being a good dog but you can tell she really wants that hot dog.

Cody going back for seconds, fire roasted hot dogs are the best.

The kids using the Nissan as a table..

Taking turns putting snow on the fire to put it out.

Good one Sayd... Now for the FUN part..

So we took the Nissan for a ride LOL when does this not happen.. Take a good look at how deep those tracks are and YES we are very STUCK...

Half a tire deep what is that like a foot or so.

The ground looks solid and is on top but then this happens.

So I had told the kids that if we are really stuck we won't walk out today cause it was getting dark Sayds like I get the best spot to sleep in the truck. Then she tells Gavin well we could eat cold hot dogs and chips it was funny did they think they were going to starve.

If you look close you can see where we were dragging bottom.

So to get out of this mess Cody had to get out and put on the 4 wheel hub we got on our anniversary and put it on. It's a good thing we had it cause we really didn't know how to explain to someone where we were some times the things we do makes me laugh.. It was a fun time though I love to go out in the hills for rides even if we do get stuck..

Wrestling and Grandpa

2011-02-23T07:25:00.000-08:00

So Grandpa got a new job in North Dakota so he headed out early this morning on the long drive there. The kids are super sad that they wont see him for a while.

Sayd playing her computer with Grandpa.. I will miss him too I hope we can at least see him every couple months or so. WE LOVE YOU DAD and GRANDPA

Gav had a wrestling match last week he was super excited for it and Sherry let him borrow these shoes..

The kids are all so wild when they are at wrestling.

Gav getting reading for the match.

This little boy was so not going for this..

Gav took him down and he started to cry. Gav didn't know what to do he raised his arms like WHAT NOW. Yeah lets just say he won and hopefully he will actually have a match next time.

Cody and I finally got a new bedroom set YAY....

2011-02-12T07:02:00.000-08:00

Sorry my pictures kinda suck but this is the new bedroom set we have waited a long 6 years to have a matching set... Thanks Gram for the King size off white blanket you gave us a couple years ago it looks great on it...

We both love it. It does mean more dusting cause of the color but that's OK...

Wrestling Practice

2011-02-01T18:19:00.000-08:00

Eric Searle teaching the the boys some new moves . Eric is a great coach he coached Cody when he was little..

Going for the take down.

Look at this group of little boys there is a huge turn out this year. Go Gav I hope he wants to really get into this and does good at it.

Sunday Drive

2011-01-31T06:32:00.000-08:00

We went for a little drive sunday to take the dog running. Well we were almost back to the main road and this is what happened..

Well needless to say we got stuck good and we had to call for someone to come pull us out.

This is my side the mud was almost up to the door.

Jason and Misti came and pulled us out the kids were glad that some one came to get us.

There is the muddy mess we left behind. Well we had a fun little sunday drive and then came home and made homemade chicken noodle soup which was so yummy..

The kids Got Their Own Rooms...

2011-01-23T17:50:00.000-08:00

So last week we had this itching to switch our back room that has been everything from a junk room, office, and a exercise room into Gavin's own little room...

honesty it is so small but he is still little so he absolutely loves it as his own little space.

Sayd is stoked to have her own room which is pretty big with all Gav's stuff out of it. They actually keep their rooms a lot cleaner then they use to and they get along better. Gav was a little scared the first night but he has done really good going to sleep and sleeping through the night.

Family Home Evening NIGHT... So it was Gavin's turn for the treat and Sayds for the activity. We actually watched Despicable Me as a family and ate brownies. Cody read the scripture and I said the prayer.

We had a great night as a family...

Tuesday night Grandpa Bart and Sheri came over with the kids new puzzle books. They so look forward to new ones coming.

They had fun showing them their own rooms and running wild.

A few days ago we took a little ride in the Nissan. We shot the 22 and the kids BB guns it was a lot of fun. Sayd is a good shot but she has a little attitude so if you say anything then she won't shoot anymore. Gav shot a little but then he was having fun playing in the dirt/mud...

What is he up too.

Sayd shooting her gun.

The kids just getting as dirty as they can before getting back in the truck good thing it is the ugly truck right.

Staying warm in the truck.

We were eating dill pickle sunflower seeds YUMMY...

Sayd playing with the Sissie..

Running around having fun.

The kids playing the Wii

Snow Storm, Christmas and MORE (this is a long one guys)

2011-01-09T07:05:00.000-08:00

We took the kids sledding the other day they loved it but it was so cold....

The snow was so packed it was slick Gav had a hard time climbing back up.

Ready-Set-Race.

Cody playing a board game with the kids. I was sick in bed with Pneumonia so I tried to stay away from the family for a few days...

Christmas day when Grandpa Bart and Sheri came over and totally spoiled the kids and us. THANK YOU GUYS.

Sayd wanted a baby dressed like Santa and a DS game she was surprised when she got both.

The only thing Gavin ask for was a DS and he loves it. Sayd thinks its not fair that Gav got one with a Camera I guess times just change. That will probably be what she wants for her Birthday now.

Tearing into their first presents I just love seeing the excitement on their faces.

This is from before they woke us up at 3am. We did make them wait till 5am to open presents thank goodness. All in all it was a great day with lots of fun.

Christmas P.J.'s

We went up to Gramzo's for Christmas Eve dinner it was awesome it was like Thanksgiving all over again.

The kids just chill'n' in the big chair.

Family Time you just can't ask for anything better..

The kids sure love their Gram and Ross.....

After building our big snowman Gavin didn't want to come in so he was throwing a FIT...

Our snowman turned out pretty good if you ask me.

The process of building our snowman.

Good one GAV.

Good thing we have a strong Daddy to roll the snowman Mommy couldn't even make it roll once it got to a certain point.

Cody plowed the driveway the day it snowed over a foot cause my car was stuck. The kids loved playing on the snow pile.

Sayd showed Gav how to make their own snowman. They did it all on their own and it turned out pretty good..

Poor little dirty truck.

The dog and cat didn't even know what to do with all the snow.

This day Cody didn't have work cause the power went out all over town and the surrounding towns we were in the dark for hours...

This pictures was actually taken in the pitch dark my camera just wouldn't capture it without the flash so it made it look different. The funny thing is the only thing you could see is their faces squished together playing their game. When I looked at the picture is was just so cute...

Sledding Fun

2010-12-03T09:06:00.000-08:00

Wednesday we took the kids sledding at North Park. We all had a lot of fun Gav just wanted to stay.

The kids racing down the hill. I love this time of year I just wish it wasn't so cold.

Waiting for their turn to go down. We would let the older kids that were there go first then send Sayd and Gav cause we didn't want the older kids to run them over.

Making their way back up the hill with their sleds.

Sayd....

Gav...

The hike back up for Gav is hard but he just wants to keep going so I guess he doesn't mind.

Sayd waiting to sled down cause she was being shy. There was a little boy there named Carsen that was talking to her and trying to get her to go with him. She totally wasn't going for that she would wait till he went and then go.

Cody getting the kids started down the hill.

All in all this was a fun little sledding trip. The kids would of stayed longer but it was getting dark. Until Next Time.

Family Fun

2010-11-14T15:59:00.000-08:00

While I was at work Cody built a fire and let the kids roast hot dogs and marshmallows

Looks Yummy...

I wish I could of had a roasted marshmallow.

The kids wanted to sit in the shed to eat so the dog wouldn't steal their food.

Playing the wii the kids love to race eachother.

When it snowed even though it was just a little the kids built this snowman all by themselves.

Happy Halloween

2010-11-01T06:34:00.000-07:00

Gav was a big bad t-rex Dino and Sayd was a purple fairy...

Going door to door and having fun.

This is how the sky looked above the mountains when the sun was setting how SPOOKY.

They could of gotten a lot more candy but they wanted to go HOME when it was only like 8. I guess that is a good thing cause they are on a schedule of going to bed then. Well all in all it was a great Halloween and the kids had a lot of fun.

Carving Pumpkin Fun....

2010-10-29T07:11:00.000-07:00

So yeah I know we are getting a late start on this but finally last night we carved pumpkins with the kids.

Gav didn't want to grab the guts with his hand so we did it 6 seeds at a time LOL...

Sayd wasn't to happy she wanted to cut the top off by herself but she needed some help from her Daddy.

She got right in there and got out all the guts...

I was helping Gav get everything out so we could start carving.

SO CUTE!!!!

So just as I am writing this I realize that last night when Cody asked if the oven was on for a reason and I said no that I had pumpkin seeds in there. I opened the oven right now and yeah they are burned black what is wrong with me I usually don't forget things :( So much for a yummy snack. I feel like a total idiot but oh well. It was a fun night carving pumpkins and making memories we don't need pumpkin seeds LOL.

CAKE POPS

2010-10-18T07:14:00.000-07:00

My friend Maria came over yesterday and we made some cute cake pops. They turned out pretty good beings it was our first time making them.

Just a few updates ect....

2010-09-21T17:44:00.000-07:00

Cody helping the kids with reading time....

So a while back our adopta cat Oscar came over and 2 little kitties and the mama followed right behind. Well they looked and acted like they were starving so we fed them and tried to give them away but no one wanted them.

This poor little kitten was the only one that would let us catch it. So it got as much cat food and baby formula as it wanted. We fed it baby formula because we got a free sample can in the mail.

I guess we just have soft hearts cause we fed them till they stopped coming back over. Oscar comes everyday without fail. He is a big fat fluffy orange cat and we except him as ours.

Cody's mom and sister sent the kids these dino eggs for their birthdays. What a mess but the kids enjoyed them.

They had to dig out the dino's I was helping Gav and broke off a rib. He didn't really want me to help him after that.

A few weeks ago I had to take the kids to the dentist I invited my friend Maria to go with us. It was alot of fun we went out to eat with the Fam at Red Robin. What a mad house if you ask me....

Later that night Maria and I went to the midnight movie and earlier that day we did a little shopping while the kids played with their cousins. All in all it was a fun weekend hopefully we will be able to do it again someday.

First Day Of School....

2010-08-26T17:52:00.000-07:00

So Sayd started 1st grade I can't believe she is getting so big.

I gave her a hair cut the night before and I think it turned out pretty cute. She wanted it about 4 inches shorter but I wasn't down for that.

Sayd started a day earlier then Gav he didn't really know what to think having to go home. We all went to the back to school breakfast the kids thought it was fun.

Sayd at her new desk. She was a little shy but I know she will warm up a little each day.

Her school teacher this year is Ms. Weight. I just know she will have a great year in this class.

2nd day and Gav's 1st Day they are growing right up.

Cody gave Gav a hair cut too. We sort of had to because the other night while on a car ride Sayd thought it would be funny to put her gum in his hair. I ended up having to cut it out so he had a bald spot and it is right in the front.

He was really excited to go to school. I ask if he was going to have fun and he told me yeah and I can walk myself in I know where it is. Sad I wanted him to want me to walk him in on his first day of Preschool.

He found his name where his backpack goes all by himself.

Gav with his new Teacher Ms. Guillette. Right now he may be shy but he will come out of his little shell and oh no when he does. I don't even want to know what kind of havoc he is going to cause around the class. Well it was good to get them in school and they seem to like it so that is good.

Happy Birthday Little Saydee Bug....

Toad Town USA....

2010-07-24T10:35:00.000-07:00

So the other night we found this big toad on our sidewalk and put it in a bucket so the kids could play with it the next day.

Chloe had a fun time with it once she knew it couldn't hurt her.

Sayd and Gav let it swim in their pool.

All the kids had a fun time playing with it.

That night we had the kids let him go and didn't see the next night he probably got as far from this yard as possible. The kids named him Buddy....

Camping Up Kanosh

2010-07-22T17:13:00.000-07:00

So this last weekend we went camping up Kanosh with Cody's Family it was a lot of fun...

It was so hot we would go play in the water,

Take walks with Gramzo,

Then play in the water again.

Gavin got my camera and took a picture of his own face.

So by the look on Gavin,s face he is planning something.

More and More water....... Anyone up for a water fight.

I am glad I got out of this water fight. The only reason why is because I was taking the pictures.

Marshmallows for all.

So Saydee wanted to show Gavin something and said come on and made Gavin run behind the four wheeler. It was so funny she would slow down and let him catch up and then go a little more. Finally we made her give him a ride and the picture is so cute.

The kids would try to get tricky on their four wheelers. Gav would ride with his legs up and Sayd would drive with one hand. SCARY....

Kids just having fun.

Otter pop time. I so love having a trailer with a fridge and freezer there is nothing like having a Popsicle when it is so hot outside. We had a blast and are hoping to do it again soon or at least before the summer is over.

4th of July fun....

2010-07-05T11:55:00.000-07:00

Cody and Gav were in the parade.

Sayd ran and got tons of candy...

Aunt Tia had to help her so she could get more.

Saydee, Tylie and Grandma Michelle at the parade.

Cody's Mom, Sister and Aunt Julie stayed up at the KOA so we spent some time up there also.

The kids had a blast running around and swimming.

I finally was able to get together with a few friends from high school. There was Jana, Jess and Kaycie we haven't all been together for like 5 or more years. Best of Pals!!

Firework time the kids loved it well most of them Gav could careless.

We had a little lunch and strawberry shortcake for an early b-day for the kids.

Then we went for a 4-wheeler ride with Sandi and Brett. They stayed at our house for a few days it was alot of fun. Thanks for coming guys.

Sandi, Brett and Saydee rode on one 4-wheeler and Cody, Gavin and I rode on the other.

We stopped for a while for the kids to throw some rocks.

Just look how tired the poor little ones are. From the back they looked like they were just watching their movie but when you walked in front of them you could tell they were really asleep.

Fathers Day Cake...

2010-06-21T07:21:00.000-07:00

The kids and I made Cody a tapout cake he loves the UFC. So I don't know what my computer is doing because the the picture on the top is the right way in the folder but this is how it pops up.

4-wheeling and Chloe's b-day party

2010-06-17T20:00:00.000-07:00

So Chloe had a Fancy Nancy B-day which is what Sayd wants too so we will be copying some stuff.

The Girls all had a high heel race.

Fun and Games..... With tons of candy just what we need right.

Go Chloe Go Chloe!!!!!

Present time

Oh what big hair you have Landon

Tae had to try what uncle Landon was doing. What a cute little thing she is.

QUEEN OF THE HIGH HEELS. She is already a little diva.

Today after work and going to the track with some girl pals we went for a little family outing. Four wheeling is one of our favorite things to do. This is Cody and the kids crossing the water which I don't like to do but usually end up on the other side.

Look how deep the water is. SCARY!!!!!!

YAY they are coming back across safely lol.

We stopped to let the kids throw rocks in the water.

Soon Gav will be wanting to drive this one all on his own.

This is such a cute picture of Father and Son.

Smile Girl! I can't believe that my little girl will be six so soon she is growing right up.

Daddy caught Gav a lizard and he got sick of it fast and wanted to throw it in the water. He let Sayd hold it for awhile and then he ended up letting it go somewhere safe. Cody tried to catch Sayd one but when he put his hand down on it his tail came off and away he went.

Looking for bugs and whatever else they can find before we head for home.

Gav is always following Cody as close as he can and sometimes needs his help to get back down. What a fun day of fun with the Family.

Camping and Swimming

2010-06-09T14:51:00.000-07:00

So a couple weeks ago we went to Otter Creek for a family camping trip. This is our load I bet people think we are crazy.

Gav reeling in to see if he caught anything how cute is he.

What a cute little fisher girl. I hope our kids grow up to love this kind of thing like I do.

We caught a lizard and he had no tail. Poor little lizard Gav about killed it playing with it and squeezing it. I finally made him let it go some where safe.

This is the only fish I caught the whole time we were there. Cody also caught one and we had a fish fry one of the days. Nothing is better then fresh fish and lemon I JUST LOVE IT!!!

Gram got in on the fun of skipping rocks beings that we weren't catching any fish.

Gavin just loves being with Grandpa and doing everything he does.

The last day we got all pack up and set out for home. Tia and her family and Tiffanie and her family were also there I didn't even get any pictures of them which sucks sorry guys.

The kids Swimming at Grandma M's

Grandma picked up this awesome pool and the kids had a lot for fun swimming in it.

The water was like up to Gav's chin but he had a lot of fun.

What a bunch of kids....

Just look at this little princess Tae is such a doll.

A Little Catching Up....

2010-05-19T07:15:00.000-07:00

So there has been a lot going on I just haven't had time to post. The kids both had their end of year tumbling program.

Gav did pretty good for the most part. He did lose interest during some parts.

Sayd is doing great she is almost to the point she will be learning back hand springs.

Little Tae Tae turned 2 she is so dang cute. Happy Birthday Girl!!!

Sayd went to a pool party for one of her friends in school. Shaylee is one of her good friends and she ended up being at the party too. What little beach babe's.

Gav got a little fun in also.

The kids had so much fun at Alijsha's party I am glad they got to go.

Friday Sayd had a t-ball game she is starting to really get into it and try a little harder.

Gramzo and Ross came she was so excited to see them there.

It has been a long two weeks without Cody and I can't wait for him to be back home from Annual Training.

Camping up Kanosh

2010-04-29T05:41:00.000-07:00

So last weekend we went camping up Kanosh we were going to go to Adelaide but the scouts were there. We ended up going up just a little farther and the roads were so muddy.

The poor truck and trailer were just wiped out with mud. The camp site was an extreme mess.

Just look at that fire perfect for roasting marshmallows.

Codys Gramzo and Ross came too it was so much fun having them there.

Cody took Gav for a ride on the little motorcycle. He absolutely love every minute of it.

The kids just wanted to go for a walk. I think this picture is just so cute.

The next day we packed up and moved down to Adelaide and it was so nice.

It wasn't even muddy the kids could just run around and have fun. Gav even fell in the water Cody caught him before he went all the way in. You would think that he would stay away but as you can see in this picture he is back at it again.

Gav giving Gramzo the biggest hugs.

A night of fun games and cookies and milk.

We got one family picture before we packed up and went home on Sunday.

Cody's Grandma took Gav's 4.wheeler for a ride she is so funny.

Saydee, Tylee, and Gavin

Once we got home we had tons of cleaning to do. I was in charge of the inside of the trailer which took a while. Cody washed the outside of the trailer and truck.

The kids did a good job washing their 4-wheelers. All in all we had a great trip even though it was really muddy at times.

Sayd Starts T-Ball

2010-04-19T16:38:00.000-07:00

So Saydee started t-ball last week and at first she didn't want to go but after it was done she said it was fun. These pictures are at her game.

Gav was so funny he snuck over by these little girls and was just telling them big stories. After the game we ask what he was telling them and he said I was just telling them about ME.

What a funny game the kids don't really know what to do or where to run. One little boy ran to home and they told him to touch it and he bent down and touched it with his hand. Then the other team was batting and one of their players on base ran to get the ball.

The other day while I was at work Cody set up the sprinkler under the tramp and just let the kids have some fun.

EASTER

2010-04-07T16:39:00.000-07:00

COLORING EGGS...

THESE ARE THE FINISHED PRODUCT. Gavin even glued the stamps onto his funny if you ask me.

We went to Cody's Gramzo house to have dinner.

Cody got the kids 4-wheelers out to entertain the kids.

Gramzo had to get hers out and give the great grand kids rides and they loved it.

The kids had an Easter egg hunt at Grandpa Hare's. Thanks Sheri

Easter morning

The kids had a great Easter and loved all of the candy ect.

Cody got the little dirt bike running and was riding it. Thanks Dad for picking it up..

What Next....

2010-03-30T17:46:00.000-07:00

We hadn't secured the tramp yet when the wind storm hit and this is what happened. It was hard for me to get it back down on the ground but I did. Then I called Cody's dad to come save me because if I moved off the leg it was going to do it again. What a Day.....

New Toy For The Kids....

2010-03-30T09:10:00.000-07:00

This weekend we went and picked up this Trampoline for the kids. Monday we set it up for them to play on it took a good 3 hours but what a fun thing to have. We first thought of getting it for their birthdays but then it would be at the end of the summer. We decided it would be better for them to enjoy it all summer and they already love it.

Sewing and more sewing.

2010-03-22T18:41:00.000-07:00

Okay for the last week I have been sewing like mad to get these aprons done I made 6. In total I have spent 17 hours sewing and cutting. This is the hardest thing I have ever made and they turned out so dang cute. These are reversible the top is scrunched they almost look like a sun dress. They have 12 pieces per apron and like 20 steps to complete but well worth the time only if you love to be married to your sewing machine for a few days.

Spring Time Fun....

2010-03-22T18:30:00.001-07:00

Saturday and today after work Cody took the kids out to the sand pits to ride 4-wheelers. I missed out today but it was fun to see how good the kids are getting on their 4-wheelers.

Sayd isn't scared at all she even catches a little air here and there.

Just look how big Gav looks on his. He has learned to use the brake and even watch where he is going.

Big sis giving Gav a ride because his ran out of gas.

They got stuck so Gav bailed off while Sayd tried to get out. They have so much fun riding and are getting so good.

Getting the laundry done and it wasn't me.

2010-03-17T21:01:00.000-07:00

So today like the rest of the days this week I was sewing like mad to try and get some aprons finished and out of the way. Well Sayd wanted to fold some clothes that I just took out of the dryer. Shortly after I heard some noise and this is what I found, kids both switching the wash. They had unloaded the laundry out of the dryer onto the floor and then put the wet clothes out of the washer into the dryer. What the kids at least it was something that needed to be done right.

So if you haven't yet tried these they are my new favorite thing in the WORLD. I recently snagged 14 pks of 24 each on a great deal at k-mart. My sis got a few packs and I used one in a wedding gift so I was left with 11 each pack after tax and coupons they were 1.65 each. The reason I love these is because you don't have to worry about measuring out the soap adding softener and then remembering a dryer sheet in all the craziness that life brings. IT DOES IT ALL so give them a try.

Happiness Is.....

2010-03-14T18:25:00.000-07:00

Morgan tagged me so I guess I will do this. I really am not good at these things but here it goes.

Happiness is...

1.Having a husband that loves me more then I would ever know.

2. Kids that even though they fight all day still seem to make you smile.

3. Waking up in our cozy little house and being content with where I am.

4. Cooking a big dinner and sitting down as a family to eat it.

5. Having a house that is never clean but you know its just the kids making a mess behind you as you are cleaning it.

6. Spending time as a family whatever it is I enjoy it. In the summer in the garden, camping, 4-wheeling, just taking a drive in the ugly truck, running the dog, shooting, hunting, especially fishing, reading stories to the kids.

7. I really find joy in crafting of any kind.

8. Going to Church even though it is hard sometimes it is well worth it at the end of the day.

9. Being able to have some time to myself like when I ride my bike and go to the gym (love it).

10. Hearing all of Gav's stories that go on and on. He takes after his Grandpa Gentry. Yesterday he said mommy do rhinos eat dandelions and I said yes. Well grandpa has dandelions he said so they are going to go to his house and eat them all. Where does this come from I don't know but it was so cute.

11. Hearing Saydee learn to read and helping her with her home work.

12. That my kids go to bed in their own beds by 8:30pm and fall right to sleep.

13. Every time I get in the shower I can hear doors opening in the kitchen. When I came out one time Gav had eaten 3 or 4 brownies.

14. Teaching the kids how to play new games and Sayd getting mad when she loses.

15. Coming home to a house that my Husband has cleaned and vacuumed.

16. Watching the kids play with all their grandparents they just love them all and have so much fun.

17. Seeing the kids learn how to play the wii and loving it.

18. Sitting in the front room and listening to the kids playing contently in their room which doesn't happen very often. Usually it is mom sayd hit me or Gav pinched me. So on those rare occasions I just sit back and listen to the peace in their voices.

19. I just love going sledding and watching the kids fly down the hill at top speed and wanting to do it over and over.

20. Having my face kissed off by Gavin every day he is such a lover and probably gives me 100 kisses a day.

21. At the end of the Day I am glad I have a Family I don't mind spending all day with. Knowing that we love each other in every possible way. This is what I think Happiness is.

I Tag Tia, Mom, Tiff, Jess, and Chelo

First Broken Bone.....

2010-03-13T16:49:00.000-08:00

The third of March Gav rolled off the couch at daycare and Broke his collar bone. After he did it he acted fine except if you went to pick him up so we took him to the doctors. This is the picture of his broken collar bone. This really hasn't even slowed him down. At my parents last weekend he fell a few time and you could tell he made it a little worse because the bump you can see got bigger. I hope this is our last broken bone but i fear it wont be with this kid.

Presenting Disney on Ice

2010-03-13T16:08:00.000-08:00

We weren't really planning on going to Disney on Ice and hadn't bought tickets or anything but here we are. Sheri gave us some ticket she won some how I don't really even know the details. So friday after work we headed up to see it the kids could hardly stand the drive there. We did stop by Walmart to try and get the kids something so we didn't have to by it at the show. I found Sayd a Tinkerbell wand but had no luck finding something lion king or Cars for Gav. We ended up getting him a sword at the show for a whopping $18. The kids were more excited to get cotton candy which cost an arm and a leg $10 a bag but it came with a foam hat which didn't make it more of a bargin for me but they were happy. Luckly I snuck some drinks and chips in in my purse so we didn't have to get them.

Our seats were in portal V section 19 row 10 seats 1-4. These were awesome seats we were only 10 rows from the ice and it was a blast for the kids.

Just waiting for the Show to begin.

And here it is...... Cars was first this was Gav's favorite part of the show.

Next The Little Mermaid.

So We don't know this little girl but she was cute. Cody said she copied what he was doing and she pulled faces at Gav. When I would take a picture she would want to see it. Towards the end of the show you could tell she was getting tired and grabbed Cody's pant leg and layed her head on his knee.

The Lion King....

Gav just kept eating and eating his cotton candy he probably would of been just as happy with just that and no sword.

Tinkerbell and Friends... Saydee absolutly loved this part when they had intermission Sayd thought it was over and got sad. We had to explain that when it started in a few minutes that Tinkerbell would be on.

The End

This was a fun show for the kids and us Thanks Sheri for the awesome tickets.

Bountiful Baskets

2010-03-08T06:44:00.001-08:00

So on Saturday I went and did this thing called Bountiful Baskets you sign up and pay online then you show up where ever you signed up for and get a laundry basket full of fresh produce. The sign up fee is $3 and it's a one time fee then you can get however many baskets you want for $16 per basket. Once you buy one basket you can get other things to go with it like a Mexican pack, sometimes a Asian pack, granola, bread and tortillas. So here is what we got this time and it varies what you get from time to time.

Fruit

12 bananas

11 blood oranges

2 pks blueberries

1 pk strawberries

6 pears

8 apples

Veggies

1 head cabbage

1 head leaf lettuce

1 bundle spinach

3 bundles asparagus

8 zucchini

6 cucumbers

I think I got everything then my Mom, Dad and I also got Mexican packs for $6.50 They included 4 avocados, 4 peppers, 2 zucchini, dried chili peppers, fresh herbs, garlic, 1 onion, and 6 key limes.

So I thought it would be pretty cool to see how much I would of spent if I went to my regular grocery store so here it is.

Fruit

bananas $.69 lb= 1.73

blood oranges $1.69lb=8.45

blueberries $6

strawberries $3.99 pk

pears $1.69lb=5.91

apples $1.39lb=6.95

Veggies

cabbage .69lb=1.38

Leaf lettuce $1.99

spinach $1.99

asparagus $11.97

zucchini $4.00

cucumbers $3.00

So in total you would spent 57.36 plus tax 3.59 = 60.95 for the same food which is fresher because it comes straight from the dock and you get it for $16 what a great deal. I would really like to get one started here in Fillmore but I want to know how many people are interested in it so if you love the idea respond to my blog and tell everyone around here you know about it. You can go to www.bountifulbaskets.org to check it out. For people out of town check the website out aslo because they already have them all over the state. To order baskets you have to get online on Monday and sometimes Tuesdays if you live up north right at noon they sell out with in minutes so hurry.

Happy 5th Anniversary

2010-03-01T15:46:00.000-08:00

So Cody and I celebrated our 5th Anniversary on the 26th. Over the weekend Cody's Dad and Sheri watched the kids so we could go up north and have a day to ourselves. We went out to a movie (blind side) and then went out to eat. After a filling meal at Applebee's we went and did a little shopping together.
