My Man's B-day

We had a great time celebrating Steve's b-day and memorial day at Lake Las Vegas. It was so much fun!! What a great place to go as a family. The kids loved it!! We'll definately go again! Steve is the big 33 now I believe. He is an awesome dad and husband!! Things that describe him are DEVOTED, LOVING, FUN, MY HANDYMAN, HUNTER, DEAL FINDER and of course HOT STUFF!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY and thanks for planning your own weekend and working hard.

Chizzler Hunting

The boys took a trip and missed school one day to go up to Enterprise chizzler hunting. They had a great time and time flew by because they were having so much fun. They stayed for over 7 hours just shooting chizzlers. They went with Grandpa and Grandma and Brandon and Kaden. We would all love to go up again but haven't made it yet. Boys n there guns!!

Tyson's 4 (my baby)

I can not believe that he if four and look how big he looks on his bike and even giving the "peace out" sign. He had a wonderful birthday and it was a long 3 days after we sung to him in primary on Sunday. He was so excited to get his treat and poster at church he went around telling everyone "Today's my birthday". Then every morning he'd wake up asking if it was his birthday and when I would tell him no he would break into tears. He is still carrying on about his birthday. Just yesterday while at the store he said I couldn't pick something out because it was his birthday and you couldn't decide if it wasn't your birthday. I was in big trouble with the look he gave me. So funny. A few words and sayings that I think describe Tyson are:

FUNNY
LOVING
ATHLETIC loves baseball and riding his bike
GREEN favorite color
Is it hot today mom? Yes, Tyson. Aghh! I want to wear my COWBOY PANTS!!
SWEET

Memory Lane

Well we had a little modeling show. Sierra is getting ready to be baptized in a few months and I wanted to use my wedding dress to make her a dress. My sister Amy and I shared the dress and she graciously let us cut it up. So here are a few pictures we took before the day the lady came to take the dress away to be cut up. It was fun Makenzie especially liked it. The lady said with that train we could make a few dresses. What beautiful brides to be!! Thankfully that is a many years away!!

We had a awesome time at the lake!! We got there about 2, after a morning full of baseball games. Steve and I just laid under the shade on the beach and watched the kids play!! They were content to just play on the beach so we enjoyed that time. We saw a few wild burrows, Drake caught a fish, Steve practiced swimming, and we got a ticket for not having a class II floatable on our way to pick up grandma. Brings back memories of the Bear Lake trip!! We look foward to many more lake trips.

Makenzie's 6th Birthday!!

I can't believe she is 6. Well Makenzie had a lot of little parties this year. Sierra started it off the Saturday before by wanting to bake a cake with some friends and decided to do a surprise b-day for Makenzie when she got home from a friends. It was so cute they decorated the cake and were all hiding and yelled surprise when we walked in. Then the day before her birthday we had the family party because we both worked on her birthday!! We had a family party and had a lot of fun!! She wanted a Hawaiian party so we did a flower cake and a few decorations and a flower pinata. Then her birthday we took treats into her class and then cupcakes to her baseball game. Then we went to Sawyer's games on Friday and went to Chucky Chz after. Then on Saturday we went to the lake and let her take a friend. SOOO FUN!! It got a little out of hand all because I didn't do the friend party thing. But oh well it was fun!!

Easter

Easter was a little crazy this year. I was very sad that it was so crazy. It was during the fair and spring break. We colored a few eggs with G & G "D", Jake and Stevie. They also hid their Easter gifts around the house for the kids to find later. We were so busy at the fair that we finally got in the Easter egg hunt at Grandma Staheli's with all the Staheli cousins at 5:30 Saturday night. At least the rain had cleared by then. It was lots of fun and the kids had a great time finding all the great hiding places I had. Sunday morning we were able to find Easter baskets with Uncle Brady and Aunt Angie. I think Sierra was the last this year to find her basket in the closet. We had a beautiful Sunday remembering why we celebrate Easter and the kids sang in Sacrament meeting. The did a beautiful job. Next year hopefully all my plans for this year will happen.

May Day Dance 2009

 

What a fun year!! Makenzie's was so excited to show us her moves with the parachute. She did a wonderful job and smiled so big. Sierra did a little Hawainn surfin dance. She looked like a beautiful island girl and said she couldn't look at us or else she would smile and she couldn't do that. Drake last year dressing up was awesome. He was the disco king. He really was for a day at school. He was the best boy dancer in his class and I think he was the true disco king of the night. Tyson was the winner of a $50 gift card for Maverik too. So we headed to Maverik for a little snack after the big dance.

FAIR 2009

We had a lot of fun with grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends this year at the fair. We hit the rides 2 days and got everyone in at least twice I think. I'm terrible at taking pictures of the those just watching but here are a few pictures of the fair outside of the barn.
