A Very Merry Christmas!!

We hope that everyone had as wonderful a Christmas as we did. I just can't believe it's over. The kids set their alarm to wake us up at 6:00 a.m. and they were up and ready to go. This is Trent showing off his new boxers he got. He looks so awake doesn't he.

Tyker made off like a bandit with tonz of trucks and toys and things. His favorite toy was his Tommy 20 Nerf gun that shoots 20 foam bullets. Let's just say that There have been bullets showing up all over the house. He said he had a very Merry Christmas!

Madisyn got a Digital camera, clothes, boots and things. Now our family has two cameras to smile for now. I think her favorite was probably her camera or her Roxy boots. She seemed to be very happy with her Christmas.





Even Dozer got some treats in his stocking from Santa.

This is Trent and I at my parents house later that morning.

This is the Gingerbread house that the kids made on Christmas Eve.

Our Christmas Tree!

We Found Out We Are Having A....

GIRL!!We went to the doctor today to see what we are having and the doctor and his ultrasound tech told us that they both are 90% sure its a girl! We go back in three weeks for the big ultrasound where they measure all the body parts and so we should get a for sure answer then. I think 90% is a pretty confident guess. But right now we are so excited that we are going to have a sweet baby girl! We all thought that it was a boy so when she said that she thought it was a girl we were a little surprised. We didn't care either way but it was kinda exciting to be a little surprised. Madisyn of course was so excited to hear the news. Tyker says he is excited but I think at first he was a little disappointed because he wanted a little brother. He is already getting used to the idea of having a little sister to protect and look out for. I'm not going to go out and buy too much stuff just yet until after the next scan but I can't help myself to buying some things. I will just make sure to keep my receipts just in case she grows parts. Also, I meant to start doing this earlier but time just got the best of me. This is my baby bump at 16 weeks, (I won't be 16 weeks until Wed but its close enough). Keep in mind that this was just taken a few minutes ago so its almost bed time and I'm not looking so hot. My belly is also always a little bigger at night time. Sorry the picture is blurry but I will try and get some better ones at the next scan.

Congrats to the Moss Family!

I am so excited to announce that Kensley and Jason had their baby girl today! Baby Avery and mother are both doing very well. Avery weighed 5 lbs 13 oz and was 19 inches long. Kensley did so well through the birth and we were all so proud of her. I can only hope that mine would be that easy. I will post more pics through the next few days so check back.



Sweet baby Avery staring up at her mommy. She was wide awake right from the start and hardly even cried. I think she looks like her big sister but I guess we will see.

Twilight!!

Yesterday, 12 of us excited gals went and saw the movie we've all been waiting what seemed like a lifetime for. TWILIGHT!!! I tried not to expect too much because most books turned movies aren't as good so it was pretty much what I expected. I do have to say that I still couldn't get that into Edward. He's just not that attractive to me. I know that this is going to sound bad because he is only like 17, but I sure like Jacob and I am so excited for New Moon. I have always been a little more on Team Jacob. I won't say to much to spoil it for those that have not read the other books. But for those of you that have, I'm interested to know if anyone else is on Team Jacob. Let me know.

Trick or Treat!

Do You think that this could be the new "Got Milk?" add or what. Doesn't Trent look Sexy? He thought that it would be funny to put this on for when our kids came over but he ended up wearing it to a few other places including Winegars to buy dog food. He looked so cute dressed up as a cow. I guess it just shows what an animal he really is!Our Kids looked so cute in their costumes. Madisyn was a girl from the 80's with her hair all ratted out and brightly colored. Tyker was an Army Rambo Guy complete with a camo painted face and the whole outfit. I love Halloween because the kids get so excited to dress up and go Trick or Treating.

Here are some of our family and friends kids that came over to Trick or Treat. They all looked so cute in their costumes.

Guess who's Prego!

Even though most of our family and friends already know, we are so excited to announce that we are expecting a baby in early June! We went today for our first official Dr.s appointment and he said everything looks like it is progressing as it should. The baby measured 9 weeks on the ultrasound. It was so exciting to see the little baby and see it's healthy beating heart. It was even moving a little. I couldn't help but get tears of happiness in my eyes. It just amazes me that a little baby is growing inside me! The kids are very excited to have a new baby brother or sister. I will put updates as the pregnancy progresses. Sorry the picture is a little crooked but it was the best one. I think it looks like a gummi bear right now. But a very cute gummi bear of course!

What happened to Fall?

I dont think I ever remember getting this much snow this early in the year. It's Crazy! I knew it was supposed to snow but I had no idea that it would be this much. I can't say I'm too happy about it. We haven't even had Halloween yet! I guess it's supposed to get back up to the 60's- 70's by next weekend so that's good.
Tyker was of course pumped to suit up and go play in the snow.
Oh my poor flowers!
Trent and Tyker built a snow fort. Dozer even had fun running around.

THRILLER!

My Mom, Kylee, Kensley, Tristin and I went to Thriller on friday night at Weber State. I love going to this because it gets me in the halloween mood and I of course love anything to do with dancing! It makes me miss my dancing days. Here is a couple of pictures of us and the zombies that walk around the lobby.

Happy Birthday Tyker!

Friday was Tyker's Birthday! He's now the BIG 8! We had family over today for cake and ice cream and just some good old family fun. He got Guitar Hero for his Nintendo DS, trucks, mini skateboards, money, and Legos gallore. You would think that a kid who has millions of legos would be happy but no, he can never have enough. Happy Birthday Tyker! We love you very much!

Chucky Cheese

This post is a little late but last Sunday we decided to go try out the new Chucky Cheese in Layton. It was like 4 o'clock in the afternoon and we thought that we would probably beat the crowd before dinner time. Oh Boy were we wrong. So we pulled into the parking lot which I must say is pretty good size and there were only two spots open! We walked in, looked around at the millions of people, and were amazed. Anyways, after spending a small fortune on pizza and drinks, we hit the arcade games. This is Madisyn & Tyker on the motion ride. Tyker peddeling his way to the ceiling on the bike.

Madisyn playing the classic Wac-A-Mole. Trent even had fun nascar racing.

Photo Shoot

I wanted to practice my photography skills, so Lisa & I decided to take Judd's baby pictures on Friday. Let's just say it didn't go as well as I was hoping, but we did get a few good pics. You would think that babies are easy to photograph but they are not! He didn't like his clothes off or to put into awkward postitions. Trent kept walking into the room and see us positioning Judd into wierd poses and he would just shake his head and say, "Poor Baby Judd". Anyways, it was a blast so thanks Lisa for letting me experiment with your baby. I hope you like the pics.

Attention all Ghosts, Goblins and Witches!

I hope you are all ready because Halloween is coming up soon!! I just love this time of year and getting ready for halloween. Maybe it's because I'm really a witch and this is my holiday! HEE HEE HEE! Trent thinks I'm crazy because I have already put up all my stuff and it isn't even October 1st yet! It is my favorite holiday to decorate for because all the stuff matches my house. I made this collage of pictures from Halloween last year. I just love how cute the little kids look in their costumes. Make sure to vote for what our kids should be for halloween this year. The polls are on the top right corner. You can vote as many times as you want. We are excited to see who everyone thinks they should be!!

He's Here!

Baby Judd is here! Lisa had her baby this morning at 6:20 a.m. after a long night of labor. He weighed 8lbs 2oz and was 21 inches long. Mom and Baby are both doing very well. He is just so adorable and he has lots of light brown hair. Congrats to Lisa and Trent on their handsome little guy! We are all so happy for you!
Proud mamma and her little man!
London and Tatum were so excited to meet their new little cousin.

More Birthdays!!

Happy Birthday! Yesterday was my two darling niece's Birthday's, Kylee and Tatum. I just wanted to tell them Happy Birthday and we love you both very much!! Hope your days were wonderful!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Trent! It's my hubby's birthday today and he is real excited. Not. I just wanted to tell him how much I love him and appreciate all he does for us. He is a great husband and a wonderful father! I hope you have a Great Birthday Babe! Love Ya!
Madisyn's Birthday is on thursday and she is way excited! She is growing up so fast we can hardly believe it! We just want to tell her Happy Birthday and that we are so proud of the beautiful girl she is growing up to be! Love You!To continue with the Birthday's we have a few more. August is the birthday month for our family. Happy Birthday to all you guys. Jeanie, Shawna, Jake, Tristin, and Candice! Five out of the seven birthdays are all in the same week! I hope everyone had or have a wonderful Birthday! We love you all!!

Back to School

It was Back to School for the kids today. Summer Vacation is over! I thought I was excited for the kids to be back in school with a routine and a bedtime but then I realized that means that I have to get back into a routine again also. Ugh! Oh well, It will be good for all of us. The kids were excited to be back to see all their friends and for the social aspect of it, but thats it. Madisyn started 7th grade this year. Yep, that's right, JUNIOR HIGH! She looked so cute! I think she was a little nervous, but she said her first day went good. I thought Trent was going to break down in tears this morning when they left for school. His baby girl is in Junior High! That means boys, makeup and that icky teenage stuff.
Tyker started The Big 2nd Grade. He was all ready to go twenty minutes before they were ready to leave with teeth brushed, hair combed, clothes and shoes on, and even his backpack on. He looked like a stud! If he don't look like a mini Trent, I dont know what does. He seemed pretty excited until it came time to do the homework tonight. Oh great, here we go!

Lisa's Baby Shower

Today we had a shower for Trent's sister Lisa and her baby Judd, who should be arriving here in the next month. She isn't due until Sep 17, but she is hoping that he will decide to come in just a couple of weeks. The shower was a success with friends and family, games, presents and tonz of yummy food and desserts. And I mean tonz! Tristin did a wonderful job putting it all together. Lisa got lots of darling clothes and some great gadgets and things. Baby Judd will be spoiled with all this fun stuff. I can't wait to see him and have a new nephew! I'm so excited for Lisa and Trent ( yeah her husband is named Trent too. It gets a little confusing at times). Best wishes to you guys and I can't wait to meet this little guy!!

What we've been up to lately...

I know I haven't blogged in a while but I have been super busy with soccer games, work, school clothes shopping, and of course reading BREAKING DAWN! I was so excited to read the book but I am just not a fast reader so it took me a few extra days. I have to say that I was very pleased with the book and kinda relieved to have it over. I am a little sad too. I won't say too much to spoil anything but I thought it should have been two books. Can you say way too much info going on! Well, I think my family was just as relieved for me to be done. Now I actually have to do something around the house. UGH! We haven't been doing too much since we got home from camping. Madisyn has played in two soccer tournaments and has another one this week. She did so good at this last one. She scored a goal and almost made a couple more. We have been doing some barbequing and just hanging out with family and friends. Last night we went to the Monster Truck races at Rocky Mountain Raceway. Trent gets tickets from work and so we usually go every year. Chad, Austin, Braden, Matt, and Cody joined the four of us. Braden was pretty amazed at the trucks and I think he had the most fun. It was his first time so he thought it was pretty cool. The other kids all had a blast as well. Us adults had fun just people watching. That was more entertaining than the trucks at some times. I posted some pics from last night since I haven't taken too many lately.

The Great Outdoors

We just got home from a week long camping trip to Marsh Lake. We left last Monday morning and headed for the Uintah Mountains. We found a place to camp just between Bridger Lake and Marsh Lake and set up camp. It was so pretty up there. Although I could have done away will all the bugs. They were everywhere!! There were these Big Giant Black Beetles with Huge antennas that even scared the men! Tyker's blood must taste good to them cause he has bites everywhere, even after being hosed down with bug spray. Monday was a nice day, but then Tuesday came and Holy Cow, it rained harder than I've ever seen it rain in my life! It was hailing and everything. It pretty much rained all day so we just hung out in the trailer and the kids played their Nintendo DS's. The rest of the week was pretty nice until we were packing up and then of course it had to rain again. Our friends the Flints and the Youngs came up later in the week and we had alot of fun with them. The kids all got along great and had so much fun. They spent most of their time down at the rope swing. The kids wanted to go fishing so they loaded up their stuff and headed down to the lake. We didn't think anyone would come home with anything but sure enough Morgan caught two and Dylan Young caught one. Tyker caught one the next morning and Morgan caught another one! She sure is quite the little fisherman. We took the 4-wheelers to go riding. We found some pretty cool trails and got just a little muddy. With Tyker driving your sure to get wet from all the mud puddles. Madisyn handled all the trails like a pro and Tyker even went on trails on his own 4-wheeler. He was pretty proud of himself. The trip was a blast and I'm so glad we went. Thank you to Chad and Candice for letting us use your trailer. We greatly appreciate it. You spoil us too much!!
