fair,ly odd family!

I didn't take hardly any pictures this year at the fair. I am sure you can hit older posts to look at all of the previous pictures I have taken, they are all the same. I know lazy ( maybe when I finally break down and get a new camera? ) but we were just having way too much fun. Besides if all of you go to the fair every year like we do you know what your gonna see. Our favorite part of the fair this year was watching the sea lions. They were amazing and I would of recommended having you watch the show. It was great!

We did do our traditional fair food...funnel cake and kettle corn and yes we spent the ten dollars to go down the big yellow slide. Heck, when it's once a year I am gong to shovel out the money because, yes it is worth it to me!! I love the fair!!

Tami is 30

Tami had to work on her Birthday. Bummer!! But we made sure that we had a surprise for her when she got home. We planned dinner for her and decorated her kitchen and got cake ad ice cream. We all hid behind the counter and when she came in the kids yelled surprise. She was beaming. She had no idea and again I got away with it!!

After dinner we headed to the State Fair!! She declined wearing the sash and the head band though. Lame!

fall soccer

imagine a team full of boys and one girl running around like a dog or catch chasing a flash light on the floor and it being all over the place. Are you in visioning it? The kids not knowing what direction or who your supposed to pass it too or in fact what goal you should kick the ball in to!! My kid did score for the other team on one of the games. It was so fun getting know the other parents and having Bubba make new friends. It was also nice that the other parents yelled and carried on with encouragement like I did. I had one lady tell another ( not from our team , but a team we had played before ) that she is not going to want to sit by us because we are too loud. I swear we were the only group of parents cheering for our kids. We laughed and made jokes it was a great time! We only won one game out of all that they played but that's okay it was such good entertainment! Bubba made a great goalie, he was not intimidated at all when the ball came towards him. He went right out an stopped it. He even took a cleat to the face and he still was aggressive. He stopped a lot of balls going in, made it so we didn't get slaughtered as much. Hopefully we can do it again this year.

2nd and 4th

Wow, how the time flies...one minute they are in my belly and then next they think they know everything!!

Bubba is 7 years old and enjoys playing soccer, bey blades, shooting guns, riding his bike, playing with friends. When he grows up he wants to be just like his dad. He is such a tender little fellow. He has a temper and will cry over just about anything!! He always wants to be held and kissed at the wrong possible moment, when I am at my busiest but I know that's it's just a little reminder to take a moment, pause and take in the lovin'. I am not sure how long he will keep this up?

Madison is 10 years old and enjoys dance, coloring, crafts, fashion, dolls, more dolls and dolls. When she grows up she wants to be a dancer and an artist, she gets her artistic ability from her Dad. This girl and I are so similar, except for the ability to keeping her room clean. She is the biggest slob ever!! She is like me in a sense that for one I was a Daddy's girl and never cared what my Mom had to say and second, she likes to be a tom boy and a princess!! She could care less if I was mad at her but if her dad is the least bit disappointed then she falls apart.

I am so proud of these two. They are smart, friendly, make good choices. They are good kids. Pretty well behaved and when they are not burping or farting they have good manners too!!

A 60th birthday party

A few of us met up for dinner at Golden Corral ( yum ) and hid out in the back room to surprise my Mother in Law for her 60th birthday. I love it when I can get away with things. She had no idea :) We sure do love this lady. She is one of the most sweetest and thoughtful person's I know. She has such a love for the gospel and her family. She keeps very busy being self employed, holding a church calling and taking care of her father and Husband, because they both have health issues. She is always cheerful and willing to help others in the drop of a hat. I hope that she knows how much we love her. Happy Birthday Joyce.

Two of my favorite things... food and family. I am glad that Joyce had a birthday so we could get together. My dad always said age is earned. Here's too many more birthdays, for all of us!!

Trial Lake/Anniversary Weekend

So right after Justin's wedding we headed straight to Trail Lake up in the Uinta's, Jason and I along with the kids arrived around 11 that night. Jason and his brothers went up the day before to set up tents in a spot to insure us a good spot since I knew that it was walk up only. We invited a few friends to join us for the weekend and we had a good old time getting dirty and sun kissed. I took the kids on a little walk while we were waiting for every one else to arrive and we started playing in the water. I just knew some one was bound to go in all the way without the intent too. Guess who did?Bubba cried and cried and I laughed and laughed. I couldn't help myself. I wish I would of had it on video. He had made it down the log without a problem but on his last step he lost his balance and went right in. I am still chuckling, especially since it was just so devastating.Jason didn't feel too well the whole trip. He spent a lot of time in the tent trying to sleep. It sucked. I packed a bunch of really great food and goodies, we had planned on hiking and even took a long a canoe for the lake, Luckily there were other dads there to fill in on the Lake adventures. I was okay relaxing but being even more outdoorsy would of been funner.

The kids had so much fun playing in the dirt and gathering wood for the fire. By the time we would get dinner done they were pooped, except for the girls of course. They would of stayed up all night giggling if we let them. Silly girls.

Jake with his "I am going to break this tree" attitude, It was so funny watching him, it was kicking his butt too and it didn't help that the axe we had was dull.



Despite a few feuds and some I don't feel too goods, we had an excellent time. I love getting friends together. Jason and I just passed our 11th year of marriage and what better way of celebrating then with some of our friends, no cell service and in nature!!
