Nathan's Birthday

We had alot of fun making the Happy Birthday sign and the birthday cake. As you can see! We had all his family come over and celebrate with us. We BBQed and then had cake and ice cream and presents. All in all I think if was a good Birthday!

SHOOT

Ok with this SHOOT thing. Apparently, I say that to much. Skylee has picked that up . . . and says it about everything! Obviously I need to get a new word. Its so dang CUTE, though. Her little voice and then the OOT part she says in a higher voice. So its like a "sshhOOT!" Oh you just have to hear her.

Fire Station

Teigan started preschool the first of September. As you can see Teigan was a little excited. The first two pictures were at Grandma Angies. He had his backpack on and he was all ready to go, A month early! Yesterday was their first field trip . . . to the Fire Station. Teigan could not stop talking about it. In his words, "Mom, I'm ssooo excited!" with his fists clenched and his face tighted, all excited I tell you.

Teigan's Favorite Moment

"When Firefighter Josh climbed the BIG BIG LADDER" (75ft tall)

Teigan's Dissapointing Moment

" I didn't get to sit in the Fire Truck!"

I took these pictures with my phone so I hope they turned out ok.

HAPPY 6th ANNIVERSARY!

I can't believe its been 6 years already. Time flies! Nate said this morning
" its like putting all the years of high school and jr high together".
When he said that . . . it makes 6 years sound really long . I'm mean that's half of our education!

Ok back to what we did. Nate came home with a dozen roses. It had been a while . . . so that was super sweet of him. And let me tell you, He used to be a major Flower guy. He would get me flowers for anything and everything. Now its only once in a while. That's ok because it makes it more Special. We left the kids with Grandma, overnight. And we went to dinner and a movie.

Dinner= Red Lobster (all you can eat shrimnp!)

Movie= The Dark Knight in IMAX

We missed the 7 o'clock show so we had to wait til 10pm. That means we had about 3hours to waste. We walked around the mall, (for the first time in 10years, lol). We spent alot of time in the Sleep Number Bed store. Trying out there beds and laying there. You can tell we are getting OLD! Finally we left and went to the movie. It was GREAT. After the movie we got to go home ALONE! No kids :0) We had a Fabulous night. :) Thanks Honey. Your the BEST!

Baby Doll

KISSES for the BABY
HUGS for the BABY

Skylee finally got her FIRST BABY DOLL. We have so many trucks and boy toys that I just haven't bought any girl toys. But lately Skylee has been saying baby and playing with any doll she can get her hands on. I was going to wait til Christmas, but I just couldn't wait. I found this little soft doll at Target and she hasn't put it down. She loves it- and kisses it- and takes it everywhere. Definetly a good investment!

Dog Sitting

The kids were having fun feeding Saydee out of their hands

They definetly want a dog now. Including my Husband.

Last week I have been dog sitting for Mollee and Tyson (while they were on their honeymoon). I'm so thankful that she is a good dog. I only had a few problems, nothing major. Ok the first problem I had was MAJOR. Tyson dropped the dog off Monday morning. Not only 8 hours later I had LOST her! and I didn't even know it! I left to run some errands, and thought she would be fine. Well I thought wrong. An hour later I got a phone call from a lady in our subdivision. She had called the number on her collar (which was Mollee and Tyson) and they told her to call me. I was at Target and so I told her to put the dog in our backyard. When I got home she was OUT again! She had DUG a hole by the corner of the fence and squoze her way out. I'm sure Mollee was just freaking out. The First day and I Loose her! Thank goodness she didn't run away or anything. Sorry Mollee & Tyson, I didn't expect that coming.

Loading Error!

I tried making a slideshow on Photobucket. For some reason it wouldn't ever load. So a made it again . . .here it is.

Missing My Hubby!

Lately Nate has been gone ALOT. He has been driving back and forth to Idaho Falls about twice a day. Hauling bridges there, and trying to get a back load, back. In the two weeks so far, he has slept at home probably 4 times. And when he is home, and not sleeping, We see him for about 10 minutes and he's gone again. He can't get loaded until 5pm. So when he leaves . . its late and doesn't get there til Late. But if he stays home with us ,then he has to wake up and leave by 3 or 4am. So either way its tough. I think its tough! So I can't even imagine how hard it is for him. Not only do I MISS him but so do the KIDS. We Love when its Busy. We just Hate not having him around. We LOVE him and appreciate everything he does for our family.

The Big Day!

Yah! Mollee and Tyson are officially the new

MR and MRS BIRD

They got married last Saturday and it was B E A U T I F U L ! From the decorations - to the food - and even the weather. I don't think they could have asked for anything more. There was a lot of hard work put into this wedding and the pulled it off! Now they are off to

HAWAII for their HONEYMOON!

I do have to say . . . that I am a bit jealous. But . . . we will get there one day. Have Fun you guys. Enjoy those seven days, because the Honeymoon doesn't last forever! CONGRATULATIONS on your new life together.

Chillin before the wedding

Friday before the wedding, we all drove up to Black Canyon to go boating. The water was FREEZING! But what do you expect when its the middle of September. Hey, we all had a good time anyways. Well, EXCEPT the fact that I left the kids life jackets in the garage. And I didn't realize that until we were in the water. Luckily we had an orange life jacket that fit Teigan. He complained a little. . . but he was just excited that he could get in the water. Skylee on the other hand, didn't have a life jacket. I felt so bad because she LOVES the water and she couldn't get in. I even felt worse because this will probably be our last boating trip this year. Dang! I am surprised though . . . that we even went because it has cooled off quite a bit. You never know what the weather will do. Hey we might get lucky and go again!

There's a first time for everything

Yah! Skylee pooped in the potty for the first time. I don't know how long it will be, before she will want to do that again. We shall see.

Mommy & Daddy Time!

So Nate and I finally got the chance to Getaway. And we were headed straight towards LAGOON! We left the kids with Grandma, for the WHOLE weekend! I think I was more worried than the kids were. Well, the kids had a blast and didn't want to leave Grandma's, SO THANK YOU CHERYL for everything. We also drove the Mustang down and it was so much fun! OH to be YOUNG Again! (With No Worries) Anyways, we met up with our friends in Utah and got a fabulous hotel Thanks to Mollee. THANK YOU MOLLEE! Lagoon was so much fun! As you can see in the pictures, I am a total CHICKEN! I did not ride two rides and the SKYCOASTER was one of them. I got great pictures though. I told Nate that this was our new priority every year. Not going to Lagoon but GETTING AWAY, JUST US. Even if it is just a weekend. Thanks Levi and Kassandra for coming, WE had a BLAST! We'll have to DO IT AGAIN :)

Not Maintained for Cars!

Can you believe this! A couple of truckers had to take a load up to Oregon, including Nate. When they got to the dirt road this is what it said "Not Maintained for Cars (a picture of a car)"! I think it was 15 miles of dirt road. Which wasn't even suitable for a car, let alone a Semi and a trailer that was loaded! They were so lucky nobody even tipped over. And get this, thats not even half of it! Once they got unloaded, a crane had to lift the trailer up, turn it around up in the air and place it in front of the Semi. Obviously there was no room and they couldn't turn around, so this what they did. It's not every day that you get to see that!
