Kitties and Cuties

Paige's cat had kitten and my kids L-O-V-E petting them and holding them. Jocelyn goes crazy when she sees them. So, these pictures are.... Reagan loving on them (if it weren't for Ryker's allergies I would take one home for her) Ryker doing something "richards" like. And Jocelyn.... then one bottom center she is patting it...bottom right she is pulling it off her shirt cause it scratched her. And then there is the picture of them in the tree being cute.

A preview

So here is a preview of Paige's wedding dress. This picture was just on Caitie's camera and so I decided to put it on the blog! I guess she decided to try it on and then she spent time wandering her yard in it. (at least that is what I can tell from the pictures) Every girl just wants to spend time in her dress right?

Memorial Weekend

On Memorial Day we decided to go hiking. This fist group of pictures is of Bridal Veil Falls. That hike is not what I remember from when I was a kid,but that is probably due to the avalanche. Anyway, we hiked up there then took pictures and looked around. We were going to hike up with Caitie and Zach but we got there and didn't know when they would come so we headed up. They got to the top about five minutes after we did. The hike down was some what easier since we had 4 adults and 4 kids.

So the middle picture is actually at the grotto
After Bridal Veil we went to Sundance. Caitie said there was a "tram" that went to the top of the mountain and then a trail to a waterfall. When we got there I found out that "tram" meant ski lift. People who know me know that I HATE I mean HATE heights, which means ski lift. I am petrified of ski lifts. Especially when my kids will be on them. But I did it. Skyler can tell you what a wreck I was. But we made it (I am not dead while writing this) When we got to the top we got off and went to find the waterfall. We were hiking along and hiking along and never got to it. We were all tired and we couldn't carry all the kids so we ended up going back before we got there. It was pretty hard for a little bit, but the kids were really good and did great with all the walking.

I don't know what the kids were doing in the side picture, but that is the sign telling us where to go. Then there is Jocelyn walking and eating dirt. (something she does often) Everyone hiking and then Caitie and Zach.

Mother's Day

I know these are way late, but no camera.....using Caitie's...... Hey I am getting to them now so it's okay. So for Mother's Day we go to Temple square and walk around. (it's tradition) I had to dress my kids up so we could look cute. It was fun and I love watching my kids explore and play.


Here is a family picture.....everyone knows I hate pictures so this is good for me.
This was very hard to get because for some reason they were all NOT in the mood for pictures. Go figure.

More pictures. I know it is harder to see like this but it makes it so I am able to put more on. (poo on looking fat.... maybe it isn't just "looking" maybe it is "being" dang...)

Rock Band Baby!!

Caitie and Zach bought Rock Band today, so we of course had to have a Rock Band party. Everyone is rocking out. The kids are having fun. Reagan sings, Ryker plays the instruments with help, and Jocelyn will sing too. (which is cute) I made a video but I don't know how to post that so this will have to do for now. If you want to play come join. It is always a party at my house!!!! ROCK BAND BABY!!!!

Baby Blankets

My sister-in-law would like some help. Here is what she put on her blog.

"In memory of our baby Maxwell, I wanted to make and donate receiving blankets. I would like to donate these blankets to Utah Valley Medical Center in Utah as well as local hospital's here in New York. The blankets would be given to grieving parents who lose their babies. I know when Maxwell passed away one thing that I wanted was for him to be kept warm. I remember receiving a white blanket from someone I didn't know and I can't tell you how much it meant to me. I loved bundling Maxwell tight in something warm. I want to pay it forward,so my goal is to donate 100 receiving blankets and I need YOUR help. If YOU or SOMEONE you know (grandma, aunt, cousin, friend, sister, brother, mother-in-law etc) is willing to help make or buy material to make a blanket LET ME KNOW. This will be awesome if we can pull this off,I can't do it on my own, please help me out!
Thank you!!!!
Please spread the word on your blogs and facebook accounts!

(This would make a great R.S. project, YW project etc....) "

If you would like to help you can go to her blog or let me know.

Thank you so much!!!

Jazz Game

Skyler won tickets to the jazz game for yesterday (Thursday). He had two tickets and we decided that Ryker would LOVE to go. So off they went. They drove up to Sandy and rode the trax. Ryker thought that was super cool. While on the train they stopped. One of the trains got stuck so all the ones behind got stuck too. So they had to wait and missed the tip off. (dang) So they got to the game and as Ryker explained they "went up stairs and then walked and then found the seats" . Ryker got thirsy after awhile so they got a drink and and ice cream. It was funny cause he was so excited he could go sit back in his seat to eat it. So when the third quarter rolled around the Jazz were behind by 13 and Ryker was saying he was tired (the game started at 8:30) . Skyler said if the Jazz were still down by a lot by the fourth quarter they could leave. But once that came Ryker said he wanted to stay and watch the rest. So they stayed and (if you didn't happen to know) the Jazz ened up winning by 2 at the last second!!! So then started to train ride back to Sandy. The train was full so he boys ened up standing. Skyler said that Ryker (being Ryker) talked to people standing around him. He was talking to some people about Spider man for a bit I guess. The guys he was talking to told him to talk his dad into painting his room spider man. (uh, no. and he would have to talk to me about that not Skyler) Once there was a spot to sit down Ryker was out cold. They finally got home a few minutes before one in the morning. We got Ryker ready for bed (which is a task when he is already asleep cause he will not wake up enough to know what is going on. You know peeing in the dish washer???? That will be ryker) Then Skyler left to go to work. But came back a few minutes later. His boss said he could stay home since it was so late/early. So lucky Skyler got 3 extra hours of sleep and got to go to a playoff game. Even more lucky for him, he is going to the game on Saturday too.

Boy that was a long post. Sorry to bore you.

Oh, Skyler took the camera and I told him he wouldn't get many pictures cause the battery was almost dead. Well I guess it was all the way dead. Darn.

Fun with Mia

The kids were playing Ring around the Rosies with my mom.
Okay I know you are wondering why Reagan is in a swimsuit. The kids in the neighborhood were putting water on the slides because they were hot. So some of them were in their suits. Reagan seeing them decided she needed hers on too. I kept telling her to at least put on pants while running around. She would for a minute and then I would turn around again and they would be off. I gave up. Whatever she can be in her suit. It wasn't cold so it was no big deal.

He is just HaNdSoMe!!!!!

The guys trying to figure out the code to make the new garage door opener work. Turns out we need a different one. Stupid people. (Not skyler or dallin)

Motorcylce babies

My mom and Dallin came over to give my kids a job for the wedding (sorting m&ms). So of course while Dallin was there we asked him to help us try to figure out how to get the garage door opener to work. (he is going to stop coming over) So while we were waiting the kids wanted to try out the motorcycle. It was so funny to have Jocelyn on there. She was making the noises and pretending to drive. So here they are being their cute little selves.

She was making the noises here and then we would laugh and she would too. So you get the cute grin.

Easter Cuties

Here they are in their Easter clothes.

Super cute if I do say so myself.
