McCall Trip

A couple weekends ago we made our annual trip up to McCall wthe Solosabals, and Koyle's. It was so much Fun! We stayed in the Presidential Suite at the Wyndham Resort, we even had a private hot tub out on the deck. We had so much Food and Snacks to last us 10days! Especially since we ate out all day Saturday. I do have to say . . . that my food was much better than last year, when we ate out. Last year we went to "The Pancake House" which is really good I just ordered something not so good. And then for dinner, I ordered Ribs. And they weren't your ordinary ribs! They were Beef Ribs that we HUGEMUNGOUS! You would have thought I was some kind of CAVE WOMAN or something. They were expensive and terrible! This year we went to the Shore Lodge, which was Fabulous! We also went Ice Skating, which was the guys idea! I had so much fun, I didn't want to leave. We had such a good trip, Thanks everyone.

Up at the Ranch

In the 6 years that we have been married, this was my first visit to the cabin. It was so much fun to see were my husband grew up having fun. I told him we should come camping up here, since he Doesn't Camp! He doesn't have to sleep in the dirt, but we could still have a camp fire. Its a compromise that we both could be happy.

Head Trauma

Day 1-Accident day

Day 2 - Big, Black, and Blue

Day 3 - Hoping the bruising won't go down into her eye.

This was another day in Rexburg and Nate was gone hunting for the week. It started out like a normal typical day and we were going to the Gourmet Cupcake place. I was going to let the kids pick out a specialty cupcake just for them. Well our plans definently changed when Skylee fell out of the car. Luckly we were parked. Corbin unbuckled Skylee from her carseat and then got out. I don't know if Skylee opened the door or if Corbin didn't shut it tight, but the door opened and she fell out, right on her head on the curb. This has been one of the worst accidents out of both my kids. Her Forehead was Sticking out an Inch! We rushed her to the urgent care and thank goodness she had no concussion, nothing serious. It just Looked Serious. So much for the Gourmet Cupcake!

Living in Rexburg for a while

So the last couple of months have been really busy and crazy. Going back and forth to Rexburg quite a bit in the last couple of months. Because of Nates work and then the holidays. It definetly has been CRAZY, but also nice seeing my family alot more. Thanks mom, for letting us move in for a while :) One of the trips back we painted pumpkins and went to the Annual Halloween Carnival. We had so much fun.

A Special Gift

I think this is my favorite gift that I have ever given! Probably because of all the work I put into it. It took so much time and effort to put it together, but it definelty was worth it! I made this for my sister, Selena for her Birthday. Since she lives so far away I thought this was perfect to give to her. The ending results . . . I Loved it! I hope she loves it as much as I do. Happy Birthday sis.

Teigan's Birthday

Transformer Dude!
The Transforming Cake

Got a Mouthful!

Present Time!

Happy Birthday Teigan!

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
