Camping!

2011-09-13T11:48:00.001-07:00

Camping...we love it, but no one ever told us how much work it is with a toddler! Phew! It is one heck of a work out! BUT all in all it is so much fun to expeirence all the new fun things they will see and do out in the wild! We still have so much fun even if we only get 2 or 3 good hours of sleep at night with a tossing and turning baby! He just loves to be outside and rome free and do as he pleases! He had a little bit of a rough time because of his fall a few days before camping, but he did really well even with the fat lip! He's such a trooper and i'm sure we will be going many many more times next year. There is nothing like spending some good quality time with your family with no Television, Cell Phone, Computer interruptions! I love my boys so much adn i'm so glad that they were sent to me! They are such a huge blessin in my life and I coldn't imagine life without them! They can get me smilling more then anyone else in this world and I love and appreciate all they do for me! how lucky I am that they came into my life! Patrick is the best father and it's so sweet to watch him and Graham together when he gets home from work! And Graham is the best son in the world! Always so willing to help as much as he can in the kitchen and he always knows the exact moments his Mama needs a smile! What great men I have in my life! Love you guys!

Bath Time, Water Park, Dad's Work, New Nephew, Walks, Chair, Eating Time!

2011-08-18T09:34:00.000-07:00

This quick post is just a fast catch up, we've had lots of fun over the past few weeks, especially with Graham's birthday and his new cousin arriving Luke Terry Sullivan who belongs to Erin and Johnny, he weighed in at 9.15 lbs and was 21 1/2 inches long! Big Baby! He is adorable and we love him already he came into the worl on August 11th around 2:00 P.M.! And we're excited that we're going to have another little niece or nephew coming into our lifes in April from Danielle and Mark! I love it when we get lots of new babies to play with! This will be there 6th with Marks 3 kids and Danielle's 2 kids. We're so happy and excited for them! We're happy our family is growing and expanding, can't wait to see what happens next! We're enjoying life right now and me and Graham sure love it when Dad is home with us to go on walks, swim, and have fun with us but when he's away we still try to keep ourselves occupied while he is gone. Hope all is well with everyone!

Mud, Dirt, Rocks, Sticks, Fishing and Grandma's!

2011-08-18T09:13:00.000-07:00

We had a great Saturday! We went up to Enterprise for David's birthday and celebrated while we fished and ate some good Barbecue! It was so fun to watch Graham with so much dirst and such around! He thought he was in heaven, I tried and tried to get him to stay on his blankets that we layed out for him but he wasn't having it! He had so much fun! And the first picture is of him trying to feed himself, i've decided if he won't eat it when i'm trying to feed it to him, i'd give him a shot at it, he might not have been successful with getting the food into his mouth but he sure had fun squishing in between his chubby fingers and giving himself a new sticky hair do, adn getting down his diaper and all over the kitchen floors! It was fun bussiness! And when it came to taking him out of his high chair and into the bath tub, i've never seen him put up such a fight! I think he could have stayed there for another hour and a half playing! Love my boy!

Swimming Time!

2011-08-18T09:03:00.000-07:00

I think 3 of our favorite things to do right now is: 1-Swim 2-Swing 3-Slide! Notice they all start with S's! haha! He loves to go swimming, we would spend our whole summer in our swimming suits if we could! He loves to swing either in his baby swing at home from the tree or at the school in my lap! and he LOVES to go down the slides in our laps too! The bigger the slide the funner it is! We have so much fun, it is sweltering hot outside but we still know how to have some fun! We need to get a few more picture of him sliding down the slides and swinging. We've had such a good summer so far and it will just hopefully get better! Can't believe how fast it had gone by. We're already looking forward to next year!

1 yr. Old Birthday Boy!

2011-08-17T11:13:00.000-07:00

My Birthday Boy, he is such a sweet boy! I love him so much! He had such a great birthday and was so spoiled! When it came to opening presents he was a bit confused and overwhelmed but he was such a good sport! When it came to dishing into his cake he wasn't such a fan of getting his hands sticky and messy, but once we gave him a spoon and let all his cousins dish in with him he was good to go! haha! That's my boy! After everyone left and all of the next day he had sooo much fun going from toy to toy to toy! What a fun boy he is and we love him to pieces! This last year has been the best ever, it's been so fun having this boy in our lifes and couldn't imagine life without him. He is such a happy sweet spirited boy and loves to make everyone smile! His new thing is if he thinks he did something funny or made a funny noise hell turn and look at me or Pat or whoever is with him at the time and start laughing so hard. He is almost walking and standing pretty good by himself. He is learning the sound sof animals really well and fast. He was getting a Cow mixed with the sound BAAA..but sheep, cow who knows the difference. tee hee. We love him lots and are so grateful for him! Love you Dennis Graham!

Catching Up!

2011-06-13T11:02:00.000-07:00

So lately I have really been neglecting my blog! I still haven't even had time to sit down and figure out how to make it private! Grham and I usuallly stya pretty busy during the day and so the blog is always put on the back burner, I need to do it when he is sleeping or during nap time. He is my sweet sweet boy though! I LOVE just being able to play with him and crawl around with him no the floor! He loves it when his Dad gets home because he love to rough house with him! He is not scared of anything! We have os much fun together! We've missed some birthdays and some holidays so here are some pictures to catch us up and you can see what we've been up to. We've had my birthday the big 2-5! We wnt camping up in Pine Valley for Memorial Day and Graham got a battle wound right below his nose, he was tough though! Grandpa Whitlock and Grandma Kaydell showed a very cool place to go feed ducks. We had Patrick's Birthday who turned the big 2-5! We had big family get together up at are house for him. He's still going over to his Grandma's house from 9:00 until 1:30ish and he loves it. He'll start laughing before we even get to the front door. He is such a goose! He's crawling like crazy and knows how to grab onto something to pull himself up into a standing position. He LOVES to wave bye bye and he's starting to almost say Mama and he's alreayd been syaing Dada for awhile. He's 24 pounds and our little chunky monkey. He's always so happy and has started to sleep so good for us! We love him so much adn couldn't ask for a better baby!

So i've missed a few Holidays and things that have been going on with us, so to catch you up on things i've posted a ton of pictures! We had a fabulous Christmas and Graham was even so fun because he loved to tear the presents open! We got lots of time with family and friends! We love the holidays and all the excitement it brings! This year we did a live nativity with all the kids and it was so fun to see them learn the true meaning of Christmas! I can't wait for next year! We had a quiet New Years at home with my two boys! Graham is now 20 lbs. and is sitting up all on his own! He can roll by himself too but he's only done it twice, he just is a content baby, he like being on his back and his tummy! He's been sick the last 3 weeks which is bummer but he is starting to feel like his normal self again! We went up to Eagle Mountain to see our friends CaliAnne and Brett, they were so sweet for letting us stay with them, we had so much fun, they have a little girl that is about 1 month older then Graham and she is a sweet thing! We have picture but they are on are other camera so i'll have to post them in a bit! We've had an exceptionally great few months and i'm sure they are just going to get better and better! We love you all and will hopefully see everyone soon! OH and I am going to be an Auntie again! My sister Erin is having a baby in August, haha! Her due dat is August 6th one day after Graham's birthday! We're excited for this little bundle of joy to join our family!

Our Life!

2010-11-09T09:06:00.000-08:00

We've been having so much fun lately! Especially with the camera if you can't tell! We want to capture every little face, sounds, or movement he makes! He's growing like a weed! He is going ot be a tank! He's already grown out of almost all his 3 month clothes! I love it! He is still just the happiest baby! We finally posted some of his blessing pictures! It was a fun day to have everyone up to are house and to celebrate in such a wonderful experience! Patrick did such a great job as well! He is such a good father! Halloween cam very fast as well and as you can see he was a tired boy that day! haha! He had fun hanging out in his little halloween suit though! We didn't have as many trick or treaters as we did last year but it was still have Bev come up and spend some time with us and we also got to see little cousin Carmindy! Which she came into the family in Ocotber and what a cutie she is! We're excited to watch Carmindy and Graham grow together! My Dad also was promoted to Deputy Chief at the Washington Police Dept.! We're so happy and excited for him! Congrats Dad! He's already doing wonders! We've also already takin' Graham on his first swimming aventure and he LOVED it! We'll post pictures later! That's whats going on in our lifes right now. We couldn't be happier and we're having such a great time having Graham in our lifes!

Motherhood!

2010-10-25T09:50:00.000-07:00

Have I told anyone lately how much I LOVE being a Mom! I love it! Especially to such a cuteie pie like my Graham! We adore him! He is sooooo good! He's sleeps from about 10 P.M. to 7:00 A.M.! He is so so happy in the mornings and always greets us with lots of smiles! He sure spoils us! His blessing went terrific we got a few pictures of the crowd at are house for the luncheon but we totally forgot to get a picture or Graham in his blessing suit and we forgot to get a picture of our little family! I'm so sad! We'll just have to put him back in his suit and pretend it's his blessing day again! He looked adorable though! I will post pictures later. We appreciate everyone though and all of their help! We sure have a great family! Graham is already holding his head really well and ever putting weight on his arms, he also will put his weight on his legs if I help him stand on my lap! He loves to see everything thats going on. He's got great focus. and his hair is getting more and more red! hee hee! He LOVES bath time and being outside laying on the lawn or going on long walks! Can't wait for next summer for our little camping trips with our little bud! He's going to love it! I'll keep you all posted!

Family Photos

2010-10-06T09:36:00.000-07:00

Ok, this is a picture overload and i'm sorry, but I couldn't pick just a few, I loved them all! We got them done by funny face photo or Deb Outz! She does a fantastic job and is super sweet! She also did Mine and Patrick's Wedding photos! We're excited to finally get some family pictures because it's been way to long! I think I have the most photogenic family ever! I'll have to post pictures of each individual family later, because I have the cutest nieces and nephew ever! They make me laugh! Anyway, enjoy the many many pictures!

The Many Faces of Graham!

2010-09-28T08:55:00.000-07:00

Isn't he the cutest thing you've ever seen! I just can't get enough of him, especially the cuddling! He's got his Mom and Dad wrapped around his sweet little finger! I forgot to mention in my last post that he was born August 5th at 6:04 A.M. and weighed in at a whopping 7 lbs 15 ounces and was 19 inches long! What a cutie! They had to take him away right after into NICU to be put on oxygen for 6 or 7 hours since he sucked in to much fluid but it all went very smoothly besides that little bump. He's growing so dang fast and time flies by wayyyy to fast, but we're having lots of fun and we love our little man!

Dennis Graham Whitlock

2010-09-27T11:38:00.000-07:00

Sorry, these pictures are backwards! These past six weeks have been amazing though! The first 2 weeks were bumpy and ahrd to get used too, but it was all so worth it! I love being a Mom, especially to my little Graham! He's perfect! Everything has gone so smooth since the very beginning of the pregnancy, I loved being pregnant, and now I love being a Mom! He's such a good baby too, he only wakes up once a night around 5:00 A.M. and then sleeps until about 8:00ish and will usually go back to sleep after eating until 11:00 or so..! He's really been focused latley and is reognizing voices and sounds, he loves to follow his black and white rattle with his eyes and definitly LOVES being read to in exasperated voices! tee hee! I think his favorite thing of all time though is sitting in the warm water for bath time, he could be the grouchest of grouchy babies and you sit him in a sink full of warm water and it's instant calmness. That's definitly my boy! We're all doing Great and me and Pat are having so much fun! He's an amazing Dad and is so much help to me! Thanks Patrick!

Amd then we stuffed easter eggs with lots and lots of treats and they got to find those as well! It was so much fun!

Bailey's Thanksgiving

2010-02-23T16:22:00.000-08:00

We had Thanksgiving with my family this year, and it was fun if not a little chaotic, which is nothing new in are family! Everyone works different shift at the purgatory, dispatch and Harmons so everyone was in and out all day but it was still fun and relaxing with lots of yummy food again! I think the kids have so much fun together they don't even realize anyones missing! My mom did an awsome job with organizing everything and making sure veryone had an assighnment! Andrea brought Texas Roadhouse rolls with honey butter, and we have a rolled turkey wich was actually pretty good! We are very non traditional famil which makes it fun! I made the red cabbage, brooke made the sweet potatoe casserole, danielle was in charge of the dixie salad and I can't remember what Erin was in charge of "sorry air" But it all turned out fantastic! I'm so thankful for thanksgiving and for all the wonderful time I got to spend with my wonderful family!!!

Thanksgiving with the Whitlocks!

2010-02-23T16:16:00.000-08:00

We did Thanksgiving a little early up in Enterprise since som of us weren't going to be there on Thanksgiving Day! It was so much fun and so so so Yummy! If any of you know my Mother-in-Law you know what a great cook she is! It turned out to be so much fun and great to be able to spend time with the family! I only took these two pictures and usually i'm a little more on top of things and take 20 pictures each event but I must have been to interested in the food! It was really fun to be able to go up there and do it. It's always funner at Grandmas house I learned while growing up so that's probably why we have such a fun time when we do Holidays and such up there!

Bailee's Birthday!

2010-02-23T15:53:00.000-08:00

So she's ALREADY 6! Is it bad to wish time would stop for awhile so you can relax and enjoy moments a little more..? I just feel like time is flying by WAY to fast and my nieces and nephews are going to be grown up way to soon! I can only imagine with my own children how fast it's going to go and i'm dreading it! I can't wait to be a Mother and I just hope I never take these moments for granted! Enjoy them why there young! Well her birthday was full of fun and I think she liked everything she got! It was so much fun to spend her birthday with her! Thanks for having us over guys!

Gingerbread Houses 2009!

2010-02-23T15:40:00.000-08:00

So for Christmas every year we all get together and make gingerbread houses and my wonderful mother made homemade gingerbread for it! It worked out wonderfully! It's so fun to get together and do things like this with my family! I love watching the kids, ask Pat, he can barely get me to help him because i'm so distracted by everyone else! BUT he does a fabulous job without me! This was Andrea's boyfriends first time making a gingerbread house and there's turned out awsome! It's the really really colorful one! Erin's, Bailee's and Brecken's is the one missing half there roof but it still looks amazing! And mine and Pats is the cute Cottagey one! I didn't get a picture of Brooke and the girls or Lona and B's but there's rocked as well! Anyway we enjoy doing these kind of things and hopefully we can carry it on to many many more years!

Caramelled Apples!

2010-02-23T14:50:00.000-08:00

I've finally decided to catch up a little bit on my blogging. We decided to make some caramelled apples before thanksgiving for family night! It turned out so fun and so yummy! We had a blast! If you can't tell, i'm sure all the kids left with tummy aches and all! We loved it and can't wait to be able to do it next year! I think we might have to take it up as a tradition!

Fallin' in Love with Fall

2009-10-21T10:41:00.000-07:00

On Sunday we decided to go check out the beautiful leafs up by Mountain Meadows, we met Patricks Mom there and had a blast hiking around and taking pictures of everything! It was so nice to get out of the house and into the fresh air! I'm so glad Bev suggested it! We even packed a littl picnic and ate after we went and saw Mountain Meadow Masacre site! I hadn't been for quite some time so it was neat to see some of the different things the church has done in memory of all the lifes that were lost! It was neat to see all the dear tracks that had come out as well more towards the evening, we had to wear are hunter orange too since it was deer hunt! tee hee! We definitly had a good time and the scenery made all the more fun!

The Newest Member of the Family!!!

2009-10-21T10:05:00.000-07:00

Johnny got Erin a new Puppy! He is the cutest little thing i've ever seen! I wan to dognap him! He's a little biter though but it's so funny, wherever you walk he'll follow your feet and try to bite your toes! They brought him over to a family BBQ and the kids adored him, carried him, dragged him, kissed him, hugged him and everything else in between the poor thing couldn't even keep his head up after they were done with him! We love him and are excited to have him as part of the family! Oh and they named him Rawley!

Ocotober Craftiness!

2009-10-21T09:28:00.000-07:00

I got both of these ideas from two different websites but I can't remember what they are called! But they were really fun to make and thanks to Patrick's creativity we made them work! I saw the Halloween tree in Krumpet's but didn't want to spend the money on it so I figured it would be easy enough to make my own! I bought the ornaments there though because my creativity only goes so far! I figured we needed something halloweeny in our house but i'm not a huge halloween person so that's about as far as it goes! Than the next project was an old picture frame that we had so we took out the picture, bought some chicken wire and stapled it to the back and we spray painted the frame and some of the chicken wire, it was cute like that but kind of plain so Patrick came up with the idea of putting some fabric behind it to spice it up a bit! I have a genuis for a husband! So I went to JoAnnes and got some cute fabric I like that would match are kitchen and it turned out cute! You can put a Calendar, To Do Lists, Wedding Annoucments, Grocery Lists, exc..to hang on this and it makes life a little bit more organized and it also adds a little character in your home!

Cheap Trick, Poison and Def Leppard!!!

2009-09-02T14:03:00.000-07:00

So I got Patrick tickets to the Cheap Trick, Poison and Def Leppard Concert in Salt Lake for his birthday way back in June! It was sooo much fun and my irst big concert i've been to. Grady and Missy went along with Missy's sister and her husband and her brother and his date Mckenzie who is actually Pat and Grady's cousin that drove up with Missy and Grady, our seats were on the same row but down a little ways from them no one was actually sitting in two of the seats next to them so we ended up moving to sit next to them! It was alot of fun and I thought it was a great concert! I think Patrick quite liked it himself! Happy Late Birthday Sweetie Poo, hope you enjoyed it!

The Bailey Girls Annual Sleep Over!!!

2009-09-02T13:52:00.000-07:00

So I forgot to mention that after the County Fair me and all my sisters along with all the kids decided to go have sleep over at my parents since they were out of town! Tee hee! We didn't get over to there house until about 11:00 p.m. since we were at the fair for so late so about the hour I was awake for was way fun! Air Bear brought over her comedy movie you know the funny guy with the puppets! She also ran to In and Out to get dinner for the kids at 11:00 p.m. at night! She's gonna be such a good Mom! Love Ya Air! The next morning I ran and got us some Doughnuts and Milk, Yum! Around noon as we were all packing up to go along our merry ways we went outside and BAM there was a peacock in my parents front yard! It was beautiful and fun to chase around the yard! Oh and the reason why Brooke is not pictures in any of these sleeping beary pictures is because she was the picture taker! Stinker Butt! We'll get her back! I love the memories though! We will do another Sleep Over soon and we'll be staying up until wee hours of the morning the next time we do it!

My Little Cupcakes!

2009-09-02T13:44:00.000-07:00

So I got to babysit my adorable nieces last week and we had to get creative because my house can be somewhat boring for little kids since I don't have any of my own yet. So we got out some cake mix and frosting and baked some cupcakes! As you can see sprinkels were non-exisistent in my house so we had to get even more creative and use some NERDS that we had in our junk food cabinet from the movie the night before! As you can see they turned out very colorful BUT after dinner we decided we shouold try these lovely cupcakes and to our dismay they didn't taste as good as they looked! Shocker, eh! We had a lot of fun making them though! And aren't those the cutsest little girls ever!

Camping in Pine Valley!

2009-09-02T13:31:00.000-07:00

We got to go camping up in Pine Valley over night last weekend and it actually ended up raining but it was sooo nice since we haven't have any rain for soooo long in St.George! and it didn't last for to long! Bev came up to have dinner with us and then she helped us out with our Apple Cobbler and me and her ended up eating more than half the dutch oven! It was sooo good! Thanks Bev! I love doing small things like this with my hunny bunny, it makes life so much sweeter!

County Fair!

2009-09-02T10:32:00.000-07:00

So we went to The Washington County Fair a couple weekends ago to watch "Closure The Band" play which is Pat's brothers band! It was alot of fun! Three of my sisters also came by the fair Erin, Danielle and Andrea, Erin was watching Brooke's kids so Bailee, Breckyn, Lydia and Gabby were there! They are getting so grown up and I just love them to death! They are so much fun! Danielle actually took these pictures at the petting zoo and I thought they were way cute so I decided to post them!

Joe and Connie!!

My feet were frozen solid by the end of the night so we went to Denny's afterward to warm up and get some hot chocolate! We ended the night driving home and I fell asleep while Patrick struggled staying awake, I felt really bad after he told me how tired he was! But we slept really good that night and Pat even slept in until about 9:00! I was even up before he was which is very strange! He usually doesn't sleep in any later then 8:00! Happy New Years!

Especially Rex, we'll throw snowballs and he'll run and chase them but the snow is up to his calfs so it's so funny to watch him try and run thru the snow. I tried getting some pictures of Lady but she just wouldn't have it. She absolutly hates the camera. But there's one of Rex on top of his house!

2008-12-01T09:11:00.000-08:00

On Saturday was our gorgeous red headed Ashlee Lowes babyshower! She looks dang good for being 8 months pregnant! She's a trooper! But it was such a fun baby shower! They melted different kinds of candy bars different diapers and numbered the diapers 1-7 and we had to sniff the candy bars in the diapers and try to guess what kind of candy bars were melted in it! it was hilarious to watch everyone try and figure it out! It was so fun to see everyone as well! I let too much time go in between seeing all my friends! it seems to happen after everyone gets married though. But after the Baby shower we all went and got some oats cream and went to the Jubilee of trees which we couldn't figure out where the trees were because it was just all booths..But it was still alot of fun! Congrats Ash and Thanks girls for a wonderful time!

Thankful for Family!

2008-12-01T08:48:00.001-08:00

Thanksgiving was really fun! We got together with Patricks family over at his oldest brothers house (Bobbi)! The food was great, hanging out with the family and spending time with them was really fun! I love spending time with family, they are so fun! Especially hanging out with the nephews and nieces! Me and Patrick fit in better hanging out with the kids I think! hehe! You can never get enough of them. I'm so grateful for Pats side of the family, they always just treat me like one of them and they're so fun to be with! I'm so thankful for my side as well they're so fun and I missed them on thanksgiving but luckily we made it just in time to see all the nieces and nephew and say hi to them all and I was so appreciative of Pat for letting us get to go over there!

Tis' The Season!

2008-11-17T10:18:00.000-08:00

Well this is a little late because we put our christmas tree up two sundays ago! I know I know it's a little bit early but it's not like you get to enjoy your christmas tree all year round so you might as well put it up a little earlier so you can enjoy it a little longer, right!? So we had a fun night of listening to The Forgotton Carols, Amy Grants christmas cd and NOW thats what I call christmas! It was a new experience since it's mine and Pat's first christmas being married! We're so excited for the holidays and all the joy and happiness that comes with it! I'm even excited for the weather!

Big Puppy!

2008-11-12T12:44:00.000-08:00

So we got Rex I think about 6 weeks ago and he's been such a great puppy even though he get's himself into trouble quite a bit. But he had his first puppy shots yesterday and he did so good but when we adopted him they said he was a border collie/australian Kelpie mix, so we were thinking he would be a medium sized dog. But the way he has been growing soooo fast and as much as he eats we started to have our doubts! His paws about fit into my palm perfectly so they're pretty big paws! But when I took him into the Vet yesterday to get his shots and have him weighed and such (which he weighed 25 1/2 lbs!) they vet asked what kind of dog he was and I told him what the people said when we adopted him and he kind of chuckled and said he was probably a Rottweiler, Mastiff mix! So that came as a shock and it seemed to put everything into place! haha! It's like feeding a horse! The first picture was 10 days ago just hanging out in our backyard and the second picture is yesterday right after his shots hanging out at Pat's work. You can see he's already grown a bit just in thoughs few days! But we love him and wouldn't trade him for anything!

2008-11-07T09:27:00.000-08:00

So yesterday I got all my sisters together so we could get a picture with all of us since we haven't been able to do that for awhile! They turned out so great! My sisters are so dang photogenic! I just want them to know how much I appreciate them! They're such huge blessings in my life! I love to be around them and doing things with them! Especially our girls nights or girl lunches, we always have a blast and laugh the whole time! They're so great, I hope they know that! The next pictures are of Brookie and her two adorable kids, Gabrielle and Lydia! Aren't they they prettiest little girls yo've ever seen!? I love you girls!

Patrick's 1 Year Mark!

2008-11-07T09:14:00.000-08:00

So this is a little late and I had planned on doing it that day but I totally forgot! But November 2nd was Pat's one year anniversary of being home off his mission! That seems crazy because we've been married for 7 months! We know how to get it done! I'm so glad your home sweetie! I'm happy I got to marry you! And on November 4th was our very first kiss and our 7 month anniversary! Alot happened in that few days and i'm so glad! So I added some pictures of Pats homecoming and some pictures of when we first started dateing! Love You sweetie i'm so glad I get to be a part of your life! Your so great and thanks for all you do! MUAH!!!

U.S.A

2008-11-05T10:38:00.000-08:00

Well it is so nice for the presidential Elections to be over! It's such a relief! I was very sad to find out that Mccain didn't make it all the way, I think he would have made an excellent president! I was really dissapointed and worried as well, but as time goes by I think i'm growing more used to the fact that Barack Obama is now our new President. Hopefully he does some good changes to this country! I think they are both good men and i'm happy for the both of them! they've accomplished alot even just running for president it's such a huge thing! I'm excited to see what will happen next!

Weekend!

2008-11-03T09:57:00.000-08:00

The weekend was such a relaxing one and very fun! On Saturday we went to water our grass and we noticed that it started popping up everywhere! We're so excited!!! We're finally gettting our grass! I love it! it's so green too! And then we took the dogs on a much longer walk then they're used to but it was very fun afterward we had a photo shoot with them! haha! Lady did not like it as you can see, she's scared of lightning so everytime the flash would go off she would try to hide! She's such a cutie! And little Wrex was a little poser, he loved the camera, He has these little bat ears that flop bank everytime he puts his head back! He's getting sooo big! They both have quite the personalities! And then as we were cooking dinner we looked out our kitchen window and the orchard and trees were so lit up by the after rain and sunshine! It was gorgoues!It was a very fun relaxing weekend!

Halloween!

2008-11-03T09:14:00.000-08:00

Well our Halloween morning started out great, we were driving down to St.George and this sunrise is what we got to enjoy the whole way down! And then we got to have a costume contest at work so we all dressed up, Michelle was Sarah Pallin, Crystal was a banana, and I was a 50's girl! It was so fun! Then we also had a Pumpkin Carving Contest, Mine was John Wayne but it definitly didn't look quite like him because Patrick the kind hearted husband he is carved it for me on Wednesday night because Thursday we had a halloween party to go too and we wouldnt have had time to do it so it kind of got mushy and droopy by the time Halloween came along but it did look like him on Wednesday night! Thank You Pat! And then on Friday night we went to Thriller over at Tuachann, It was so much fun and really really good! Really funny! So our Halloween turned out to be fantastic!

Pumpkin Carving!

2008-10-27T15:05:00.000-07:00

So on Sunday night we went down to St.George to go carve pumpkins and have some great taco soup over at my parents house! It was so much fun and so good to have a family night!

It was awsome!

After breakfast we went to watch the marathon runners go by aroun 6:30 or so! It was so cool to see how motivated they are! My brother-in-law ran in as well! Way to go Jason!!! He did such a great job his time was 5:11! This is him in front of our gate! We got a great veiw! Sorry the picture is so dark! It was a very rainy wet day but it felt so good!

So this is our little man! He is so stinkin cute! W names him T-Wrex, him and Lady girl get along really well, she has to put him in his spot sometimes but she's so good with him! Yesterday was his first day staying outside allll day and he loved it! He was so worn out that by the time we brought him inside he didnt care that he had to be locked up in the bathroom he just crashed on his pillow! He hated car rides which you can see on his facial expression in the top picture! But he LOVES the vents in are house, he'll just go in are bedroom and lay right on top of it, epecially when the air is on. I can definitly say i'm looking forward to when he can stay outside at night and all day so I don't have to keep mopping are bathroom floor everyday after work! hee hee! He's worth it though, he's such a cutie! Thank You Pat!!!

Until we get home from work and see allll the messes he makes in the bathroom, but he's definitly worth it! Him and Lady get along very well! It's so fun to watch them play, even though Lady sometimes just ignores him because he has so much puppy energy! Well I will post pictures of him as soon as I get them!

Crazy Bus, Crazy People, Crazy Full Moon!

2008-09-16T11:28:00.000-07:00

So the other night there was this amazing full moon coming up over the mountains! It was so pretty I wish it would be like that every night! I think full moons have kind of a crazy effect on people because me and Patrick got a little hyper and crazy that night, but we also had a good day in Enterprise so that could have been it too! tee hee! The other day i was driving down bluff street and I saw this awsome bus!!! It was so old school! This is the best picture I could get of it while driving! Not to safe of me but you gotta admit I got talent while driving! I wish I could have gotten a better picture, it was just so retro, kind of takes you back to a different time!

Afterward we rewarded ourselfes with a fun game of Jacks! It was a blast! Oh and lately we have been obsessed with this stuff called "Malted Milk" and we just make our own malts at home with milk, vanilla ice-cream, and malted milk! It's so good! We highly recommend it! Oh and the first picture is of our house in Veyo, we are in the process of working on our yard, it's a very slow process but we love it up there!
