Family Vacation!!!

Last week we went on a family vacation. We went up to Idaho and Stayed in Pocatello. We played in the pool and played the pin ball game at the hotel and had a good time as a family. My kids were so excited they have only been to a hotel a couple times so the were in heaven. We went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse, one of our favorites! We got up the next morning and went to Bear World up by Rexburg. The kids loved being so close to real bears. Right now at Bear World they have baby cubs that you can feed a bottle to. For the small price of $50.00 can you believe that what a rip off. They have 5 little kid rides that we played on for a while. We went into the petting zoo and walked around awhile. We had a good time. We headed for home and decided to go the long way up around bear lake. It was longer than we thought so we told the kids we would find a place to stay again. They were so excited of course. Well we got to bear lake and had no where to stay. Long story short we ended up in Logan at a hotel and had a great night, of swimming and pizza! We don't get out much so it was so fun for us and our little family!

FUN TIMES!!!

Dusty loves to play ball. He has been plying softball this year and he is almost done. It's the only thing he dose for himself. Thanks Ryan for getting him on your team!

The kids love to go to the games and watch there dad.

We got a new car a couple of weeks ago. We got home and the blower stopped working. No AC. I was so mad. We took it back and they called and said they had fixed it. We I got there it stopped working again. So I had to leave it their all weekend I was so sad. Dusty was calling and asking for our old car back. They got the problem fixed right and we love it. I love the space and it is so nice. Thanks Dusty for finally giving in, and not getting our old car back!

My Aunt Pam and cousin Jenny are in town from Kentucky so we went to my Gpa house and visited them. We had a great time. Jenny has a darling little baby boy.

This was at my Gpa house. My kids and my sister Jen's kids. Morgan, Hunter, Brance, Jace Taylor and River.

JULY 4th

We had a fun forth we went to the Honeyville rodeo on thur. night. Brance rode a sheep. He did a great job. In the pic you can see his arm around the neck. He also did the chicken chase, no he did not catch that chicken some one gave it to him. I really didn't want it but the kids loved it. It has already ran away, so sad :) We do the same thing every year, we go to the honeyville parade and celebration. We go to the bingham's or there friends house and have a bar-b-Que and then the Brigham fireworks. Morgan wasn't sure about the fireworks, we sat right by them so it felt like they were going to fall on us. Jace cried at first and cuddle with me that was fun to see how they would react! We love it and look forward to it every year. Sorry this is like two weeks late!

Family Fun!

So my kids have been begging to go on a horse ride all summer. Dusty is so busy, this was his first chance to take them out.
Jace loves his dad and is not afraid of the horses at all!
Brance just got a new saddle from Dusty's good friend Todd. He loves it so much. He's my little buckaroo!
Yes this is Brance!! He got bite by a wasp on his eyelid. I feel so bad for him. He keeps telling me there are crumbs in his eyes, it's really his eyelashes. It happened wed. and it is still really swollen. Sorry, cubby monster man!

Swimming Lesson's!

My kids had so much fun going to swim lessons the past 2 weeks. They are still pretty nervous around water. They still won't put there heads under the water. May be we should go swimming more than once a year! We don't get out much, but you all knew that! We also got a new puppy. My kids are in love, Morgan thinks that it is her baby and packs it all around. Brance tells us he loves his new buddy. We also got a new car but that is a long story and I don't have a pic to share so I'll post that later! Hope everyone is having a great summer. Sorry I haven't been blogging much, I feel so busy but I look back and think what have I been doing...not much!

Birthday Fun!

We had both side's of the family come over for cupcake's and ice cream on Jace's b-day!

Jace was so much fun. He didn't really like opening presents. But every time I said "say cheese" he would smile BIG and look right at me! SO CUTE!!!
Elmo cake and cupcakes that I made for him.
For my kids first b-days I make them there very own cake to eat. My other kids were a little lost and didn't know what to do. Jace was so excited he was grabbing and screaming for the cake he didn't even want to be sang to. I took his clothes off and put him in the highchair and he was freezing. He was shaking and had goosebumps.
I ran and got him some clothes that could get dirty. That didn't help so we moved the party in the house. Once he was warm he dug in. He just ate and ate. He is so sweet.

I stuck him in the sink to wash off. So cute!
He got a ball popper.
and a tickle me Elmo! He is so cute he laughs with Elmo it's fun!
I love my little guy so much I can't believe he is one year old already!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Jace!!!

I can not believe my baby is 1 today! What a fast and wonderful year. I was thinking about the day he was born, he was defiantly my easiest birth. He was born at Ogden Regional Hospital, I was started around noon (I think). I got an epidural (Thank You) I think I pushed 2 times when he was finally ready to come at 7:05 pm. He was 7lbs 7oz. We didn't know what we were having, we both thought that it was a boy, the Dr. pulled him out and said "it's a little man." He was beautiful. We had a really hard time naming him. We finally decided on a name about an hour before I left the hospital. Morgan and Brance were so excited for there new brother.

He is a sweet heart. He is my cuddle bug. He is content to sitting by me and watching the other kids. He has always been very fond of his mommy which was his first word. He says Hi, bye, dad, woof, boo. He can almost walk. I don't mind that he can't, I like to keep him close. (not enough hands) He loves to go up and down the stairs and follow the big kids. I hope he is happy being a part of our family, we sure do love him. I don't even remember life with out him!!!

This was at the hospital when he was a day old

I love this pic of my boys!

He must have been really excited for his birthday, I took this pic last night around midnight when he finally crashed! His eyes look open but he was snoring!
