Blue Boy


Saturdays. Sundays.


Our family was asked to do a musical number in sacrament. Nate didn't want to do a solo so I had Tyler and Hailey sing Family Can Be Together Forever. They did great. Hailey sobbed up until the sacrament was passed, but she pulled it together. I was at the piano but apperently they kept pulling the microphone to each other. (So typical). We recorded it home so they can "show Grandma Linda next week".















Deep in discussion.












Yea Races! (But really a secret way for the mom to get the kids energy out.)













































Sun sweet sun. auuggggggghh (I just woke up here).











Camping on Friday. A little too cold for mama though.

Masos eats Pesos




Tyler especially has been
working with Mason trying
to teach him to sit up.
(Thus all the pillows
surrounding him).
















It's finally paid off.











Man it was work to snap a modest picture (using props). It took about 6-7 tries.Mason loves his bath.

Hitching a ride to go pull
weeds at the neighbors house.

Self-Reliance FHE=





CRAWDAD FISHING! Steineker
Lake is* 7, (yes 7!!!) miles from
our house.
*I mention this so my family
will come up here and go to
the lake with us.












The day was perfect and
the weather fine.










We started with toe-dipping.




Then we all just jumped in. (excluding
Maso.)It was soooo much fun. It r
eminded me of Lake Mead as a kid.
Nathan has been holding out on us by
not taking us to the is lake. The kids
want to go "at least 7 times" before fall. Hopefully Dad and siblings (hmm hmm)
will come and beach it with us and
then camp on the sand. Bring your
fishing boat!






Like I said the swimming
part was unplanned, so we
had to "make" a towel for
Emma out of Mason's
blanket. She felt insanely
beautiful because she was
the Barbie Island Princess.
(And Hailey was insanely
jealous because she had
soggy wet ratty clothes on.)
Oh it was a grand time.

Some make-me-smile moments




















Who hasn't made "bum-prints" before?









Hailey and Emma sleep in the same bed almost nightly now.











This was my favorite moment at the reunion. I think is was because Tyler loved having "control" over his big tough Dad.






















This Grandpa can fall asleep ANYWHERE.

Geez they are peculiar...

The annual rankings (the Princeton Review survey) list the nation's "Stone-Cold Sober Schools." Topping that list was Utah's Brigham Young University for the 11th consecutive year.

I am turning into a bragging machine.......mainly because I can't find my camera charger so all I can do is write about the action

-Nate is number 1 Business Banker in Utah county (and most likely Utah, but can't clarify it as of now). We get to go on a weekend getaway to fabulous, exotic, never-been-to.........................Las Vegas. See you there momma and family!

puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke

Darn it I NEED my camera. This weekend was one to document. Sweet old Papa gave us a SMOKING deal so we now have an awesome Suburban. We decided to take it camping and went up to Browne Lake and grilled hamburgers and toasted Smore's. Yum! We can do this more often now because Mason and I slept like babies in the warm Burb. Bad news: The "food poisoning" I got last weekend wasn't food poisoning at all but a nasty stomach virus. Lucky us it decided to rear it's ugly head in the back seat/tent through the mouths of Ty and Emma. Poor kids. But really poor Nate. Imagine cleaning up 8 vomits in a crowded tent with only wipes all night long. Thank goodness it was a 12-hour-er only. And thank goodness I had a warm car to sleep in away from the puuuuuuuuuuuuke!! (Props to Nate because he didn't even come wake me up, plus the only two pillows to be barfed on were his. Ha ha ha ha ha).
