Britney's Back...

As you can see, my Britney Spears concert countdown is off my blog

and

All I have to say is "Gimme More" Britney!!!

Saturday night I finally got some use out of the tickets I received for

my birthday.

The concert was AWESOME, she definately knows how to put on a

show.

Hunter's Birthday Prize

 

 

Hunter can finally keep up with his Dad shed hunting out in the hills.

After a long 6 mile hike he was rewarded with this prize( a fresh brown shed horn).

What a LUCKY boy!!

They are going out this weekend to find the other side...

we'll keep you posted!!!

Casino Night

 

 

 

 

We couldn't go to Vegas so we brought Vegas to us.

Jason's 30th birthday was our reason for turning my house into Casino Night.

Here are some pictures from our night!

Happy Birthday Babe!!!!

Baby ... I Love You!!!!

 

I have to say Thank You to my Hubby for giving me the

BEST birthday present EVER!!!

The countdown for BRITNEY SPEARS begins....

Just Yesterday....

Hudson celebrated his first birthday

January 27th, 2009.


I swear that just yesterday I was pregnant

and anxious for little Hudson to arrive.


Now I wish I could go back to that very moment

that I saw this perfect little baby boy

with the most beautiful face

jet black hair and lots of it

in my arms and so excited to know

that he was mine to take home.

New Years Eve

Happy New Years!!!

Christmas

Christmas was like every year, AWESOME!!

I love Christmas.

I love to see the BIG smiles on my kids faces when they see what SANTA brought them because they were so good (most of the time, some of the days I thought otherwise).

I love all the family parties with all the great food

and actually just spending quality time with my little family (it's not that little anymore).

Sorry that I have been so bad at blooging

it's my New Years Resolution

to be better...

Baby It's Cold Outside

I can't believe I am seeing this much snow in sunny St. George. I have to say we are loving it!!

Last night we told the kids we would make a snow man when Hunter gets home from school as long as the snow didn't melt..

Hunter was excited to hear that school had been cancelled,

and we were too!!

It's kind of fun when your daily routine gets altered.

This morning the boys were up and ready to start the snow man.













How did we do?

P.S. We are only bringing this pack...Continued

 
 

So, I guess I can never follow the rules..






Even though the note said we are only bringing this pack I still had another little suitcase to bring along. I had a few surprises for him under my sleeve and there was no way I was going to fit them all in that little backpack.

When he pulled up in the driveway with the Harley, I finally caught on why we could only bring that bag.

Somehow I managed to pull it off..

We ended up riding up to Zion's for an overnight stay at the Red Rock Inn..

..Suite #5, highly recommended.

We had a such a good time.

Thanks Babe!

I love You..

P.S. We are only bringing this pack...

 

OUR 7TH ANNIVERSARY IS ON MONDAY THE 10TH.

I GET A NOTE WITH A BAG NEXT TO IT AND THE NOTE SAYING WE ARE GOING OVERNIGHT DRESS WARM. I WILL BE BACK TO PICK YOU UP

AND

P.S. WE ARE ONLY BRINGING THIS PACK.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE SCRAMBLED IN MY LIFE

Trick-or-Treat

 

At our house the MONSTERS have officially gone to sleep until next year.

The kids are sad, but now excited for Christmas.

We did a lot of fun things this year for Halloween. Let me tell you a few.

April had a party at her beautiful new house. The food was great and the costumes even better. Thanks Martha, your a great host.

I took the kids to the corn maze for the first time. Between the petting zoo, train rides, candy apples and the maze, they were very entertained.

Everytime I turned around I was dressing the kids up for some party.

What can I say...

It was a great HALLOWEEN!

The BEST part about having BOYS...

The FLOWERS!!
 

Anytime my boys walk by a patch of flowers, they always pick one for me.

Thanks Kian, You made my day!

There he GOES......

 

Two years ago for Hunters 4th Birthday we bought him a motorcycle. That night he had a great time riding it around the neighborhood, but since then it hasn't been touched.

A couple of weeks ago Hunter asked if he could ride his motorcycle.

I'm suprised we could even find it with all the dust and dirt that has settled on top of it the last 2 1/2 years, but we DID!

When we pulled it out we noticed a flat and of course didn't have a pump to fix it. "Isn't that the way it goes". We ended up going up stairs and forgetting about it.

Well, tonight Jason decided to take them to Wal Mart to get a pump so we could fix it.

He fixed the flat and Hunter jumped on.

He rode up and down the street taking it very slow.

Only giving it a couple tries, he was done and ready to go inside.

We told him to keep trying and that it will get easier.

As he got more comfortable, he decided to go around the block..

...still taking it very slowly.

When he came around the corner we boosted his confidence by cheering him on.

Now,

Hunter had to show off.

Making his time around the block faster and faster each time saying I'll go again.

At one point I thought he was going to crash into the neighbors garage..

..sure enough he pulled it off..

Good Job Hunter!!!

Never give up!

Hopefully his motorcycle will get a little more use from now on....

ROCK ON!

My little Rock Star! Isn't he Cute!
Oh Hudson, I just want to tell you that I am so glad you are a part of our family. We all feel so lucky to have you in our lives. You have this sweet little spirit that melts our HEARTS. You have us all wrapped around your little finger. We love You!!!!

OFF TO PRESCHOOL...

Well, today was Kian's first day of preschool.. I can't believe I'm sending another one off.. Before I know it I'm not going to have any more at home..
..That makes me sad!!!

He couldn't wait to be able to put his Batman "packcak" (backpack) to use. For the past week he has been asking me when he gets to go to preschool. I would tell him 5 more days, 4 more days, 3 more days, and then when it got to 2 more days he said "Ok, two more sleeps."

Kian, I hope you Have Fun and meet lots of new friends. I love You!!

Oh, and
...Remember to protect Ava...

WE NEEDED THIS

When I'm at home I have the hardest time spending quality time with my husband and kids. The laundry, dishes, work and everything else consumes most of my day and then I feel bad that I didn't sit down and spend time with them.

This weekend I didn't have to feel bad.

We decided to go to the Antimony Cabin for Labor Day weekend and I went with full intentions to make the best of every day...

...and I did!

Friday night we slept in a tent on the lawn..

Saturday morning Jason took Hunter and Kian fishing and I took Hudson with my dad, mom, Nick and Diane to Fish Lake. We rented a boat and rode around. It is so Beautiful there. My dad shared memories that he had of my Grandpa Bob at this lake and we made our own that I can share with my kids someday.


















When we got back to the cabin we had lunch and spent the afternoon chasing the kids around and visiting out on the lawn.


















Ryan and Megan showed up Saturday night just in time for Dinner..















Sunday was full of memories that I will cherish forever.
Cooking breakfast with my Dad
Going down the zip line with the kids

Kian so excited about the frog he caught














A long fourwheeler ride to Mt. Dutton stopping for pictures and tree carvings.









...and many more..
