Fall Break

This past weekend was fall break. Alpine school district no longer allows us to have UEA off. They figure if the teachers want to go they will use their time off to enjoy it. Instead, we get two days off each October. We thought about going to St. George but I decided I really didn't want to spend a total of 8 hours in the car with a two year old and a 4 month old. Instead, we spent Thursday standing in line to get our Swine Flu mist and then we went to the Living Aquarium in Sandy. Today, we spent the day in our PJ's and this evening went to the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point. Thus far, our staycation has proven to be much of a success and we have spent some great family time together. On a side note, last Sunday was Bridger's blessing so we took the opportunity to take the picture of the three babies and to chart their growth. Enjoy the pictures!!!

Everyone loves a good self portrait!

Stupid Swine

Well the dang Swine Flu has attacked my drill team at PG high. I have 3 for sures and 2 most likelies with it. It's so awesome to know that I have been in such an environment where I could possibly give my baby one of the worst possible sicknesses. But what are you going to do. I have a goal to hit the health clinic either today or tomorrow so that I can get the flu mist for myself and Andrew. Hopefully it will help protect us all.

And on a side note so happy that my Brother Brent is having much success after his surgery. You see, he had open heart surgery two weeks ago so they could fix his heart. He is doing well and we are happy to report that we now know he will continue to be around to fart for a very long time!!!

The Proof!!

The Day I Thought Would Never Come

It's official, my Mom and Dad have a large for sale sign in front of there house. They are moving, leaving behind all of our childhood memories. It kind of sucks but what they are getting will be super nice too. They have found a very nice and large home in Saratoga Springs in the Pelican Bay area. It's a super good deal and my Dad will have a place to park all of his cars and toys. Overall it will be good for them. It's just sad to know that someone else will be sleeping in my old room and watching tv in our family room, and eating dinner in our kitchen. Tears aside, I am happy for my mom and dad they deserve something they can retire in. I just hope they can handle the misquitios. haha!!!

Days Go By

On Wednesday evening Barry and I had the opportunity to see Keith Urban again. It was actually the 4th time we have seen him. None the less, he just keeps getting better and better. I forgot my camera this time so way bummer because he came up into our isle of the section we were in. It was a fantastic evening!!!!

PS this picture was from the concert two years ago

My Baby is getting BIG!

I took Brooklyn to her 2 month visit. She now weighs 9lbs 7oz. She's getting huge!!! Where has the time gone????

Brooklyn's Blessing, Padan goes to Snow, Three Babies

This past weekend we blessed Brooklyn. It was a fantastic day!!! She looked absolutely beautiful. Wanda (my sis in law) made her the prettiest dress I have ever seen. When she gave it to me, I told her is was prettier than the wedding dress she made me.
Barry gave a wonderful blessing. We were so proud of him for doing such a great job. Then after wards we went to my parents house for lunch. Of course we took tons of pictures. Here are a few...


After dinner, my oldest Nephew Padan jumped in his car and took off to Snow College. He was so excited to get there. He is going to major in something to do with film making. So when he's nice and rich and living in Hollywood, he better remember me.
And finally, we had a fun photo opportunity with the three new babies in the family. Ruby who is 6 months, Brooklyn 8weeks, and Bridger 2 weeks. Oh so fun and dang cute!!!!
