Don't Ask Me  

Monday, August 25, 2008


So you know how moms always go in and check on their kids to make sure they're asleep and covered up before they go to sleep themselves. Well, the other night I was doing just that and I found Parker fast asleep in this position. The surprising part was that he wasn't even fighting bedtime. I have no idea why or how he fell asleep standing up. Kids!!

Farm Life  

Thursday, August 21, 2008

Last weekend we had to go to Cortez to meet with a midwife. So we decided to go stay at "grandmas at the farm" as my boys call Steve's mom on Friday night. They were ALL so excited to wear their new John Deere shirts.


On our way home from Cortez last week I couldn't help but stop and take some pictures in this sunflower field. They didnt' turn out so great, but cute enough for a memory.


Bronsen is a pretty decent photographer for a 4 year old.

I'm Getting Too Fat . . .  

Sunday, August 3, 2008

I'm getting too fat to keep it a secret much longer. Even my brother Nate came up to me at the football yardsale on Saturday and said, "So, how much longer do you think you're going to be able to keep this a secret?" Thanks Nate.
So anyway, we're expecting again in February. We're about 12 weeks along, so hopefully past the point of another miscarraige. We're very excited and pray that all goes well.

I'm not sure whether I'm posting to make all of the other moms out there jealous or if I just don't know what to do with myself. I'm sitting in the hotel in Boulder, CO just bloggin' and finally getting a chance to comment on all of your blogs. Steve and I drove over last night after dropping off the kids at my moms. This is the second trip this month that we have taken and left the boys. I know, I'm spoiled. Thanks to our moms! So Steve is at his training and I'm just here wasting the day away. I'll probably go do a little shopping after lunch.

Another reason for posting today is that I might need to explain the "B town biggest losers" blog. I went to a young womens presidency meeting last week and one of the other ladies asked me if this was really a blog that we got on and talked about who we thought were the biggest losers in Blanding. Holy cow, I'd hope most of you know me better than that. NO!!! This is a blog that my cousin Laici set up for all of us to try to lose weight and be "big losers" ourselves. If anybody really really want to see to blog I'm sure you can go to her blog and request an invitation.

Keeping Up  

Tuesday, July 8, 2008

Life has been so crazy lately that I just haven't quite been keeping up. You can tell by the laundry that has been piling up for so long that poor Steve finally took it as his mission to at least put it all through the washer. Now I just have to fold Mount Everest. But thanks honey!

We had a really fun 4th of July. I finally uploaded a few pictures. Oh how I need high speed internet!!! We went to the parade and then watched Steve play with my cousins in the 4 on 4 sand volleyball tournament. After they lost out we went to my moms for some Navajo Tacos and I set up a carnival for the kids. It was so much fun I think it will become an annual tradition. No more expensive than the booths downtown, and our booths always deliver prizes. We even had metals for the footraces. Thanks to my aunt Stacey for all the prizes! We then went down to Centennial Park and enjoyed the fireworks. Quite the show for small time Blanding.

Steve had such a hard time getting kids interested in his bean bag toss

The next day we invited everyone out to Recapture for a day of boating. We finally got a tube to pull Bronsen around on. Him and his cousin Heather loved it.
Since the fourth we've just stayed busy. Steve and I took a trip up to Salt Lake to buy a new truck. Well, new to us, quite used actually. For those of you who didn't know, our old truck blew it's engine when were were towing the boat to Lake Powell last month. We left the boys with Steve's family. Thanks guys!! They love spending time on the farm and getting to ride the tractors.
Since then we've been finishing up co-ed softball, our last regular season game is tonight. Steve's been working hard. Some bad news there. He can't come home for lunch anymore. Makes me way sad, but what pull do I have? I've been keeping up with the garden, if anyone needs zucchini just let me know. I bottled a bunch of apricot jam the last couples of days. Steve's favorite. I was also put in the Young Womens presidency as 1st counselor, so that will be keeping me a little busier.
All in all we're going great and just hanging on as the Summer flies by. Next week we'll be in Boulder, CO as Steve has some training. I just like to tag along.

A Natural  

Tuesday, July 1, 2008




Bronsen wanted me to take his training wheels off, so I finally did. I held onto him while he went down the sidewalk and turned into the parking lot next door. I let go, and off he went. He's had a few crashes since, but is doing really, really well. I guess I thought teaching a kid to ride a bike was a bigger deal than it was. Easy as pie. Now he thinks he's pretty amazing on his bike.
