We are still alive!!!!!

So it has been quite some time since my last post! School has ended, summer has started, summer is coming to an end!!! We have had a kind of crazy summer this year!!! The first week of summer we had me in the emergency room, calling poison control for Griffin, Gaige at the urgent care one day, two days later super gluing Gaiges head shut where he had busted it open, and Gavin fell off his bike busting open his chin!!! Then we have been dealing with Skyler working out of town for the past 6 weeks and continuing to do so for who knows how long!!! And I have started working again! So its been a crazy summer!!!
We have done some fun things, Griffin got to go to Eagar, AZ for the Fourth of July with my mom and Stacey! He had soooo much fun!!! He got to meet cousins he didn't know he had! He got to enjoy the parade, he went to the catwalk in New Mexico, he did a zipline into a lake, slept in tents with the cousins!!! He had a really good time!! I miss Eagar! I havent been there for 12 years! I think its time to go back for a visit so the little two can have some fun as well!!!
We have gone to the zoo, we went to the Dinosaur Museum, which was a bit daring on my part! I took 4 little boys 2 of them 6 years old, 1 of them 4, and the other 3, all by myself!! It was the 10th birthday of the museum so the boys were able to do a lot of fun things!!! All the dinosaur bones had big birthday caps on! It was so dang cute and the boys had a great time!!!
Skyler(when he is home) and I have been hanging out with some new friends, Sara and Jaren!!! We all have such a great time together and they also have 3 boys so they understand the crazy that is my little family!!! We just love them so much!
So we are still alive and I will post some pics another day!!! I hope everyone is having a great summer and getting excited for school to start!!! Love you all

One Proud Mama

I have to take a few minutes and let everyone know just how proud I am of my oldest son Griffin!!! He is such an AMAZING young man!! He earned straight A's on this last report card and not only that but he was also awarded Student of the Month this month!!! I honestly am so proud of my boy!!! He has come so far since the beginning of the school year and he has grown so much!!! I am so proud of the boy he is growing up to be! He is so thoughtful, and loving! He is a very good helper to me when I need it and he is just great!! He is a wonderful older brother and he helps take good care of his siblings! I just love this boy like crazy!!! Like I said in my title... I am One Proud Mama!!! I love you Fifi!!!

11 Years ago today......

11 years ago today Skyler and I got married!!! On Friday April 16,1999. I cant even believe that we have been married for 11 years, it has gone by so fast!!! There are so many things that I love about my husband, I love that he loves me, I love that he treats me like a princess, I love his sense of humor, that he is such a hard worker so I can stay home with my boys. I love that even though we have had our ups and downs, we have worked through them, and have become stronger and closer in our marriage and our friendship than we have ever been!!! I love that he accepts me for me even though it has taken me a while to figure out who I am. I love the dad that he is, and the friend that he is to the boys and myself. He is my love and my best friend. I love you my sweet moose!!! Happy Anniversary!!!!

Greetings from the SUNNY Arizona!!!!

Well, we made it to Arizona and we have been having a really good time here!!! The sun has been shining and a nice cool breeze has been blowing!!! It has been in the high 70's since we got here!!! Tons better than that darn Utah weather!!! Today is Saturday the 3rd of April and we went to the park for a family picnic and Easter egg hunt for all the kids!!! What a blast!!! The boys are having so much fun with all these cousins! They have hunted eggs, gone swimming, played at the park, shopped, had an air soft gun fight! Its been great. So I thought I would post some pictures of some of the things that we have done. And also this is the first time that all 6 of my siblings and their kids have been together in a few years so we had to take some cute photos of all that too!!! So I hope you enjoy and I will post again from the Lone Star State of Texas here in a few days!!!!

Going on Vacation!!!

So the boys and I are going on a vacation this week. We are going to go to Arizona and spend Easter with the family down there, and then we are going to head to Texas to see where my Mom and Jeff are going to live. Im pretty excited to go and I know the boys are way excited to see their cousins! I just hope the drive goes smooth and the boys behave!!! So the next few posts will be from the warmth of Arizona and then Texas. I am sure Skyler will be having fun without us here!!! He gets a break from all the noise and craziness!!!

Griffin's County Report

Griffin had to do a county report this year in the 4th grade. He decided that he wanted to do his on Tooele County. So we decided to take a trip to Tooele County and see some of its smaller cities. We first stopped in Mercur, which is considered to be a ghost town now, nobody lives there but they do have the Barrick Mercur Mine. Then we drove on to Ophir, this little town is so cute! The population there is 23 people. They have cute old fashion homes and what not. Then our last stop was in Vernon, which we know pretty well, its where we go camping and fishing at the Vernon Resivoir, but also in the cute little town of 328 people is one of the yummiest places I have ever eaten called The Silver Sage Cafe. This place is delicious and the people who work there are too dang nice. We had a really fun time going to all these cities and taking lots of pics. Here are a few of Griffin's AWESOME report, and some of us on our outing!!!
