HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!


p.s. I did this all by myself.

A birthday and a baptism

Happy 8th Birthday to kid #1!! My sweet little (big) boy had an exciting birthday. He got to go see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, go bowling and go on a treasure hunt.
Here he is at the bowling alley!

The next weekend was his baptism. His grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends all showed up to support Kid #1 on his big day. We appreciate everyone who made it. Especially those who drove from far distances. Marshal (and his parents) felt very loved.

Denver

Denver for the 4th of July weekend was great! Rydel flew out earlier so the kiddos and I were alone for the flight. Our plane was delayed 2 1/2 hours and we had to circle Denver airport for an extra 45 minutes. So, when we finally arrived the kids were glad to get out and run around and I was exhausted. When we got there, we went to a BBQ with some people that my husband works with when he works in Denver. Yummy food...gotta love BBQ's.
The next day we walked about 3 miles to take the kid's to REI which has a rock climbing wall in it. Well, whatdoyaknow, after all that walking, the rock climbing wall was closed. So, we noticed the aquarium was just down the road so we walked just a little further. Here are some pics.

This is my 3 kiddos hanging out with the fishies.

Kid #1 and kid #2 checking out some sharks.

Kid #3 preparing to go diving.

That night we went to the Colorado Rockies Baseball game. It was great and the Rockies won. They were playing the Arizona Diamondbacks. The kids had a blast, even little Kid #3 loved it. Then after the game came the fireworks. If you know me, you know how much I love fireworks. The display was the best I have ever seen. Soooo good.

The three boys watching the game with a friend.

Little one watching the game with her daddy.

The next day was the zoo..






On Sunday, we thought we would be all spiritual and go to Elich Gardens. Its a theme park. The have tons of water rides and good roller coasters.


They boys on the mini swing ride.
The girls on the mini air balloon ride.

Little one on the carousel...isnt she beautiful!!!

On Monday, Rydel had to work so I took the kids to the movies and we saw Ice Age 3. Good movie, expensive theater. Never go to a theater in down town Denver...10.50 matinee prices. Ouch. Anyway, the trip was a blast and I have a feeling we will be doing it next 4th of July too!

T-ball

Here is Kid #1 and Kid #2 at t-ball... enjoy.





As you can see in the background, their daddy is the assistant coach.

Coronado Island...mabye.

Wouldn't you know it, the days we picked to go to the beach, it was nice and cold. Oh well, It was still a blast!!! If you have kids, take them to Legoland. My kiddo's LOVED it!!!

Ok, so I have a friend...Dana. Some of you know her. She took pictures of Rydel and me yesterday and she is sooooooooooooo good! Not only did I have a great time, she did a wonderful job! For a sample of our pics., go to her blogspot here...
danawillisphoto . Thanks Dana!!!

blog

I cant think of anything to blog about. Ok, not really. I am sure that I have lots that I could blog about but I have been feeling lazy lately. So, I would rather blog about how I am too lazy to blog than write a real blog.

grrr

I hate being sick. This stupid cold wont go away. Just thought I would let you know.

Two new babies...

For those of you who know Sandy and Pete Green...they had their baby boy yesterday.
He was born at 2:12pm and weighed 7 lbs 7 ounces. I dont have any pictures of him as of yet, but soon. The have not yet picked out a name yet either. I voted for Obi-Wan Kenobi Green. (kidding) The doctor was going to release them to come home today (Saturday) but they decided to stay until tomorrow. Congradulation's to Pete and Sandy and welcome new baby boy.

The title says two babies...hmmmm. Its true, I do have some news to share...






Rydel and I just got a new baby...here is a pic...






Isnt she beautiful?!?

Insert question mark here...

Does anyone blog anymore?

B-day boy

Happy Birthday to my little Matchstick!!! Kid #2 is 6 years old now. Here are some picks of his party!





Also, if you go to this link here , you will see the pictures they took of Kid #2 and me at the Jazz vs. Mavs. game. The Jazz kicked butt by the way. Kid #2 got to go to the game with mommy for his birthday. We were sitting right next to the isle and when the Jazz bear slid down the stairs on his sled, he went right by us! Kid #2 LOVED it!
Happy Birthday to my growing up baby boy! I hope you had a fun day!

Spoiler Alert!

Ok, so usually I LOVE suprises! I was one of those kids who did not peek at her presents before Christmas morning. On my birthday I like to wait until the last possible moment before opening my presents. Anyway, you get the point. BUT, when it comes to Tv show's....I have to know what is going to happen! I dont know why, I just cannot stand Not to know what is going to happen. So, when I stumbledupon this site... http://www.spoilerfix.com/lost.php I was thrilled. Just to let you know, Lost is the show that link is too, if you want to pick another show, click on Select a show in the upper right hand corner. Have fun.

All is well

Ok, it is snowing now, that is better!

What the?

It is raining in Utah?!? In January. Huh? I moved back to the northwest for snow, not rain.

I just wanted to show off a picture of my HOT husband Rydel and thank him for all the hard work he has done for our family. He gets up early every morning and heads off to bring home the bacon. When he is home, he is a super dad and our children love him. Especially his little girl Kid #3. He is a good man, a hard worker and the smartest person that I know! I love ya babe!

b-day

I just want to wish Severus Snape a Happy Birthday! Cause I'm funny like that...

Jazz game

I thought this was pretty funny!!!!

Random Holiday Thoughts...

Wow. It has been a while. Well, my holidays were great! My daddy and brother came down to stay with us for christmas. It was a good time. We ate and ate and ate. It was awesome! I love Christmas food. Better yet, I love eating whatever I want cause hey, it Christmas.
Christmas morning, the boys (including Rydel) woke up at 5:45am. Yes, I know that doesnt sound too early but it felt early. Anyway, the boys were shaking they were so excited. Before we let them go down to see the tree and presents, my dad and brother wanted to be down there to see there faces so we had to hold them off for a little while. As soon as I gave them the ok, I have never seen them run so fast. It was a great thing to see. I love Christmas morning. We all were back in bed by 7:00. (not the kids of course)
A few days later, after my dad and bro were gone, our family went to Park City to spend the day. We went sledding at Gargoza Park...one word AWESOME!! The kids had so much fun. And Kid #1 even went down the big hill with me! What a brave little man. Then we went shopping, ok, I went shopping and Rydel took the kids to a toy store. Old Navy was having a huge sale and I got so many good deals. hahaha. That was a great day.
For New Years Eve, Rydel sis and family came over. We ate junk food and watched movies. Then we watched the ball drop and for those of you who were watching Dick Clark, I thought it was a little gross when his wife came on camera and gave him a big ole smooch. I mean, it was sweet..but a little gross. Anyway, it was a kick back sort of holiday season and I enjoyed (almost) every minute of it. On to 2009.
