Happy Birthday Brad:)))

This picture is so funny of Brad and Brexen, they totally enjoyed the cupcakes we made today. As if Brexen hadnt already made a huge enough mess of dinner all over himself. So I just love Brad so much! I hope he had a great bday. This past weekend my inlaws who are so great, watched the kids so that Brad and I could go and stay in a resort on sat night. We went to 2 movies, it is somthing we really enjoy doing and dont get to do very often. We watched " drillbit taylor" and "baby mama" both were so funny! So thanks Brad for being such a fabo hubby and daddy, we LOVE ya so much.

Breast wishes

I totally had forgotten to post a pic of this great card that a friend of mine sent me after my boobie surgery. Inside it said "Breast wishes in your recovery". This card brought me a huge laugh, thanks Nat! you are so creative.

BOB HARPER, need I say more?

So tonight I totally had such a great time with one of my great friends, Larin. We decided that we needed a girls night out. What better way to spend it than to go see "Bob Harper" from The Biggest loser. He was at a bookstore over in Tempe for a book signing. We got seats on row 4, so we were right there close. He is better looking in person than he is on tv for all of you who are wondering:)))) I completley enjoyed the whole thing. He talked to us and did a little Q & A for around an hour and then we got to go and talk personally with him and get pictures. When I got up to have my turn he said "oh you are the one with the super great hair" and then he told me that I was so beautiful. Hey, I will take it:))) needless to say, I was flattered. It's always great to hear those things, especially from somone like him. So the funniest thing happened that just topped the night for us was, Channel 3 news was there, and Before the signing got started Larin and I were joking around with our camera's and taking pics of ourselves giving the thumbs up with our new books. Larin then noticed that the camera man was filming us messing around, and we comented to each other on how funny and embarassing it would be if that made it on the news. Well later Brad called me to say that he just saw us on tv and one of the times was when Larin was giving her thumbs up. Ohhh I thought we would just die laughing about that. Oh ya, and Betsey sue (Ali's mom) made it over to, her poor face really took a beating when she fell, you can see how awful her bruises are. How fun, thanks Brad for watching the kiddies!

more from the wedding

These pics were taken at the wedding. These are my 2 sisters and I with our hubbys.

Jordons wedding

Here are a few of our pics from my Brother Jordon and Kendras wedding. It was so beautiful and it all just turned out so nice. CONGRATS! as you can see by the coats that even though the sun was shinning it was still chilly. Also

one of these pics is one that I have been wanting to get for along time. It is of my nephew Taylor and Brexen, they have the exact same color of hair. What good looking boys:)

R U kidding me???

This past weekend we drove to Blanding for my bros wedding & as if the trip there isnt a long enough, we managed to make it even longer. I dont mean just a few minutes either. We are talking a few hours! We were suppost to be arriving at around 10:00 pm and when we were about 1 hour away it was so weird, Brad was getting tired and trying to get me to drive, however because he was pulling a trailor with Ang & Brians couches and many other things, I said I wasnt interested. He went on to tell me that it didnt even feel like you were pulling that trailor because it was so heavy built and that he just loved that one. Not even a full minute later, the trailor totally broke apart on the tounge. thank heavens for the 2 saftey chains that were there for emergencies just like that, sparks were flying and honestly we wernt even sure what had happened. Surley we were being jinxed for saying anything about it:)))) another blessing is that we accually had cell phone reception which is a rare delight on the drive. So we called in our reinforcments to bring us a welder. My dad and bro had to drive up to our cabin to get the generator for the welder and then bring it down to us. My mom came down also. Thanks fam! Can I just say that it was FREEZING COLD!!!!! My mom and I stayed in the car with the kids because we feared that we could quite possibly die from hyperthermia. Those macho boys toughed it out and fixed the trailor. We stopped off to drop off the couches at my sisters along the way and finally arrived to my parents at 1:30. Wow that trip just gets longer every time! But we always have such a great time while we are there, it totally makes it worth it. I will post pics from the wedding and our trip later.

Coke Oven Trail

So these are a few more pics of our day our riding. The two close ups were a befor pic with just the dust, and then the after pic. This is what the help of a diaper wipe can do to a filthy face. Dang I totally thought I was getting a tan! wrong it was just an inch of dust on my skin. I was looking in a mirror when I wrote a "K" on my forhead, Brad did inform me that it was backwords for everyone else. Ha ha. As you can see we rode the kids to the point they were exausted, for almost 30 min they sat like this and didnt budge.

Coke Oven trail

So today after Brittany's Basketball game we took off with the ranger to go find the coke oven trail. I had gone there about 6 yrs ago with my "Lyman" inlaws (they love to go quad riding! it is totally there thing they do ALL the time) anyways I sort of knew the way, and it did take a little trail hopping, but we found it and rode for hours, the kids were totally belly laughing several times, it is so fun to have the kids all to an age were we can go out and do these things that we love to do, easier.

On the way in, we got to a place on the trail that we were going through a little stream and then it would puddle up good in some spots, well Brad and I had this great idea that on our way back out, we would ride fast through the water to splash the kids unexpectantly. Well that plan backfired on us, you see the front windsheild is only a 1/2 windsheild and all the water splashed right into OUR faces and we were blocking the kids who where sitting nice and dry in the backseat laughing at us dripping with muddy water. The water itself wasnt muddy, but with all the dirt and dust that we had on us when hit with water bacame a mess. We all had a good laugh. As you can see we were filthy! But hey, that is totally part of the fun:)

Water Park

So it is official, with the exeption of Brad we are card carrying members to the waterparks in the valley this summer. We can go to any of the 3 parks. My girls are so excited and Brex just gets excited because they are, he doesnt really know what we are talking about. Londyn thought it was great to get the mugshot for her ID. We plan on going atleast once a week during the summer. So if anyone would like to join us, give me a call:))) I figure that I have to have a little somthing to convince my kids that being good while I am working is going to pay off.
