The Buttars Family

Bryten is One!!!

2010-06-13T11:44:00.000-07:00

Oh my, where does the time go? My little baby is one years old now!! She is growing perfectly and still the fastet crawler I've ever seen, although she takes about 5-6 steps at a time. She is loving her milk and eating pretty much everything we do. I feel so blessed to have her and love her so much!!! Happy Birthday to my baby girl!!

My Beautiful Family

2010-04-25T21:07:00.000-07:00

Long time, no post means we have been BUSY!!! Madisyn has been playing two soccer games a week, not to mention practice and just got elected to be a Student Body Officer for the 2010-2011 year at SRJH!! Tyker has also been playing soccer. The rest of the time, he is on his bike or pogo stick, and boy is he good on the pogo stick. Bryten had to get tubes in her ears in march and is starting to stand on her own, along with eating only things she can pick up and put in her own mouth and points her finger and tells me DO! (which means NO!) Trent, also a kid at heart, has been busy riding his new BMX race bike with Tyker. He has discovered his body isn't quite as young as it once was,but he is enjoying every second of it. I have been busy being a mommy, and working. I'm loving my new camera and enjoy taking pics of my beautiful family. Above are a few I took this last weekend.

Tyker got a new remote control car, legos and bike tires, and tonz more stuff. He got clothes as well but didn't care much about those.

Bryten got a cruise and crawl jungle, a laugh and learn puppy, bath toys, and some cute clothes. She had more fun with the wrapping paper and eating her presents.

Bryten got to meet Santa yesterday for the first time.

Girls Night!

2009-12-19T21:21:00.000-08:00

Happy Half Birthday to Bryten!!

2009-12-02T19:15:00.000-08:00

Where has the time gone? My baby girl is 6 months old!! She is getting so big and getting to be so much fun. She is weighing in at 15 lbs, and is 26 1/4 inches long. That is the 40th percentile for her weight and 80th for her height. Tall & Skinny!!! She is sitting up all by herself, rolling all over the floor and even playing "SO BIG". She has turned into a total monkey and will not sit still. She knows how to escape from her Bumbo chair and so we have to watch her close. I can't believe she is getting so big. I think it will just get funner from here on.

I can sit up now all by myself! YEAH!!

Oooo, Yummy yummy rice cereal and bananas!

Bryten and Kazree on Thanksgiving.

Snoozing away with Daddy. So Sweet.

Her first hair cut, I guess. She had these long, stragly hairs that stood so far off her head so I trimmed them. See where my hands are, yeah, thats how long they were.

Happy Halloween!!

2009-11-01T12:32:00.000-08:00

What a month it has been!! First of all, we had a great halloween yesterday and ths kids looked so cute in their costumes and brought home too much candy as always. They already went through and traded treats and even let me pick a few. Thanks kids!! Madisyn went as a good, tutu-wearing, witch, Tyker was Joe Dirt, and Bryten was a Ladybug!! They all looked so cute!! Bryten and her BFF Cousin Kazree had matching costumes. A Ladybug and a Bumblebee! They looked so Adorable!! This past month has kept me pretty busy, so no time for blogging. Bryten started out with a cold, that turned into bronchialits, and now an ear infection. So she has been on breathing treatments for about two weeks now, now a steroid, antobiotics and her poor nose sucked on by a machine!! But she is still as smiley as ever:) (except when its time to suck her nose out). Madisyn just finished up her fall season with her soccer team. They had a good season. Now it's on to indoor! Tyker started BMX Racing. ( see the post below). SO, needless to say we have been pretty busy!! I hope to get to blog more this next month. WHEW!!

Tyker's Racing

2009-11-01T12:19:00.000-08:00

Tyker has started BMX racing this past month and is loving it!!!! He's having so much fun and doing very well. He already has a shelf full of trophies. Here is one of his races, he is the one in the black and white. Watch to see who wins!!

Happy Birthday Tyker!!

2009-09-28T19:21:00.000-07:00

Bryten is 4 Months Old!!

2009-09-28T19:07:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that my baby girl is already 4 months old!! Where does the time go? We went for her doctor appt and he says everything looks great!! She is in the 5oth percentile for her weight and head and the 6oth for her height. She is starting to giggle a lot and grab her toys and eat them. She had rice cereal last night for the first time and she loved it! I couldn't get it in her mouth fast enough. Next week, maybe we will try some veggies. I'll let ya know how that goes.
Yummy Yummy Rice Cereal!

Kyler's Wedding and Random Pics

2009-09-20T11:13:00.000-07:00

Congrats to my nephew Kyler and his new wife Kaylee who got married yesterday! They had a cowboy themed wedding and the cutest ceremony. The surprised us all when the bridesmaids and groomsmen started dancing to "cotton-eyed-joe" down the aisle. Then Kaylee and her bridesmaids did a choreographed dance to "Redneck Girls". It was so cute. Even Kyler was dancing at the alter. Best wishes to the new couple!!

Of course Kylee and I matched the babies from head to toe for the occasion.

Happy Birthday Madisyn!

2009-08-30T19:44:00.001-07:00

I'm a couple days late but I want to tell Madisyn Happy 13th Birhtday!!! You are such a beautiful young lady and we love you so much! You are a great big sister and Tyker and Bryten love you for that! Even though your dad is having a hard time accepting the fact that you are officially a teenager, we are so excited to watch you continue to grow. Happy Birthday Sweetie!! We love you!

Lots to Blog About (picture overload!)

2009-08-10T15:03:00.000-07:00

We have had a couple of busy weeks lately. I've just been too busy to post the pictures. I started back to work so I haven't had as much time at home. It all started last weekend at 7 am when Shawna, Burke and I walked in the Roy Days 2 mile walk. I am not a runner nor am I anywhere near to being in good shape so the 5k was not an option for me but pushing the stroller for 2 miles is harder than you think.

All the runners up front and us walkers in the back.

Then we headed to Parade

Bryten and Kazree watching their first parade. Bryten was watching the parade and being content until she got nailed in the forehead with a laffy taffy. She was fine and fell asleep on my chest. Then I got shot right in the face with a super soaker squirt gun. Who knew parade's could be so dangerous!

Then that same day I headed up to Park City to watch the Madisyn compete in the championship game for soccer. I also went up that thursday to watch the first game of the tournament. THEY WON!! Woo Hoo!! They played so hard and we are so proud of them.

They were so excited

Coach Jason giving Madisyn her championship medal

Then on Sunday we went to the aquatic center with some of my family. My sister Jeanie and her boys, Jake and Ryker, were visiting from Colorado. Madisyn went back to Park City with Candice, Austin and Tristin to do some shopping and go on the alpine slide, so she wasn't at the pool with us.

Then this past weekend we went to the Demolition Derby on Saturday at the county fair to watch Uncle Dan and Uncle Richard . They didn't win but it was a lot of fun watching them. I forgot my camera so I didn't get any pictures of that. To complete our weekend Trent, Madisyn, Tyker and his friend Gage went to the Monster Trucks at RMR. I decided to stay home. I told you we have been busy. Now I just have a week of work to look forward to. YEAH!! (not)

Guess Who is Two Months Old!!

2009-07-28T14:19:00.000-07:00

That's right, Bryten is now 2 months old! I can't even believe that she is already that old. Where has the time gone. We took her for her 2 month well check and the Dr. said she is growing and developing perfectly! She weighs 10 lbs 6 oz which is in the 50th percentile and she is 22 1/2 inches long which is in the 75th percentile. I almost cried when they gave her the shots but I managed to stay strong and no tears fell. Not for that reason anyway. I did shed some tears today and will tomorrow for sure because I have to go back to work tomorrow. I'm so lucky that Bryten will be going to my sister's house so that makes it a little better, but I am so sad that I can't spend my whole day with her. She is getting so big and strong and is so smiley. Here are some random pictures from the past few weeks. Make sure to check out the other posts that I've posted. I figured if I don't get them done now, I never will.

Bryten loves to snuggle with her big sister Madisyn

Babies Day at Heather's House

2009-07-28T14:10:00.000-07:00

My friend Stefany and I took Bryten and Bentlee up to Heather's last week to hang out with her and Porter. Us mommy's enjoyed some yummy lunch from Old Grist Meal and the babies hung out on the blanket together. Thanks Heather for the fun afternoon!!

Hanging Out Poolside

2009-07-28T13:58:00.000-07:00

On sunday we headed to the pool to have some swimming fun. The Moss family and Kylee, Kazree and Hadlee joined us. Everyone had some fun and got some sun. Here are some pics.

All the little girls all tuckered out!

Good Luck Tyson!!!

2009-07-28T13:39:00.001-07:00

My nephew Tyson left for collage yesterday. He got a scholarship to Cowley College in Kansas for cross country running. We had a going away BBQ for him on sunday night to wish him luck and let him know we are so proud of him and we'll miss him.
I think he is sooo excited. Don't you?

Bryten and Kazree had on matching outfits. Their mommy's did some planning.

Enjoying all the yummy food and great company

Smiley Girl!

Bryten is getting so smiley lately and loves making noises to talk. Push mute on my music so you can here her cute noises she makes.

Swimming Fun!

2009-07-16T20:24:00.000-07:00

Kensley and I loaded up and took the kids to the aquatic center on tuesday. Bryten mainly slept the whole time. The older kids took off when we got there and I didn't see them much until it was time to go so I didn't get any pictures of them, but they of course had a blast!

The whole Buttars' Family loaded up and headed up to Bear Lake to spend the 4th of July weekend, and of course we all had a blast!! We played volleyball, swam in the pool, rode waverunners, ate tonz of yummy food, and just relaxed in the cabin. Thanks David and Jane for a wonderful weekend!!

Cutest little babies you've ever seen right?

2009-06-25T16:34:00.000-07:00

I took these harley pics for Trent for Father's day and have been meaning to post them all week but when you have a new baby at home, it's a little hard. Bryten is doing very well and growing every day, even though she still looks like a little peanut. She will be a month old on Saturday. Where did the time go? I'm enjoying my time home with her and loving every second of it. Madisyn and Tyker are such good helpers with their new little sister, and love her so much.

We Are Berry Sweet!

2009-06-17T21:36:00.000-07:00

Today I stopped by my sister's house and Bryten and Kazree were wearing the same outfit and we didn't even plan it so of course we had to take some pics. These little girls are 5 weeks apart and this is just one of many photo shoots of these two little dolls. These were the best pics we could get. Taking pictures of two little babies isn't the easiest thing in the world.

Kylee and Kazree and Me and Bryten

Here are some more pictures I've taken over the last 3 weeks.

Lunch With Dad and Golf Cart Fun!

2009-06-17T21:02:00.001-07:00

Yesterday, the kids and I went and met Trent at his work and went out to lunch with him to the Training Table. Afterwards, Uncle Dan took the kids for a little spin in his golf cart around the car lot. Or should I say the kids took Uncle Dan for a spin. Thanks Trent for a fun lunch date and thanks Uncle Dan for the golf cart fun!

More Pics of Bryten

2009-06-03T14:00:00.001-07:00

Bryten is Here!!

2009-05-30T20:54:00.001-07:00

As of Wednesday May 27, at 4:30 p.m. I became a mommy to a beautiful little girl. Bryten Jane Buttars weighed 6 lbs 12 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. The Dr. induced me that morning and I had her 8 hours later. The labor and delivery couldn't have gone better. Except for being a little nauseous in the middle of the day. Bryten is home now and doing very well. I just can't believe that she is mine. I am just loving every second of this whole experience, and I can't wait for more. Even the 2 a.m. feedings.

Thank you to all our family and friends and everything that you have done for us these past couple of days. We appreciate all you have done for us.

Taylor Swift

2009-05-30T20:34:00.000-07:00

Wednesday Night, the night before the big day, a few of us went down to the Taylor Swift concert and had a blast. I bought the tickets months ago not knowing if I would even be able to go or not, since it was a week before my due date. But I made it with just hours to spare. She was so awesome in concert. I was very impressed. She is such a good songwriter and such a sweetheart. The whole gang had so much fun and I can't wait for her to come back.

My Dear Sweet Nana!

2009-05-12T20:15:00.000-07:00

My dear sweet Grandma (Nana) passed away this morning at the amazing age of 95. She has lived a wonderful life and was ready to go to heaven. This picture was taken at my baby shower last saturday and that was the last time I go to see her. I'm glad it was a happy memory that I got to share with her. I will miss her so much and I love her dearly. I love you Nana!!

One of Nana's favorite things was dressing up every Halloween. She always went all out and looked so cute. I will have to find some more pics of her costumes, but here she is as a Scarecrow and a Red Hat Society lady. Other costumes included a clown, Pillsbury Dough Boy, and Minnie Mouse.

Baby Shower!!

2009-05-12T20:00:00.000-07:00

My mom and my sisters threw me a baby shower last weekend and I am just barely getting around to posting about it. Our house is in shambles right now so life has been kinda busy. We decided to put all new carpet throughout the house and refinish our hardwood floors las minute before the baby comes. Stay tuned for updates about that. My shower was so much fun and I had a really good time. Thank you to my mom and my sisters for doing that for me. I love you all and appreciate what you do for me. I hope they are all ready for those phone calls with dumb mommy questions, cause I'm sure I will have some. Thanks to all my friends and family who came and for all the adorable gifts. I can't wait to use them all with Bryten. I also went to the doctor last week and today and I am excited to say that I am dialated to a 1 and 80% thinned. Yeah! Sorry if that is too much information for some of you. I have three weeks to my actual due date but my doctor seems to think that she will be here sooner than that. Let's hope he is right!

They made this adorable cupcake tower. Isn't it so cute!

Kazree's Photo Shoot

2009-05-11T20:21:00.000-07:00

I tried my hand at some photography last week again. I love taking pictures of little brand new babies. They are just so precious. I took these pictures of Kazree, my great niece. I think they turned out pretty good. She is just so freakin adorable. I can't wait to have little Bryten here to take pics of her too.

Kazree gave this picture to Kylee in a frame for Mother's Day.

Isn't she just so sweet!!!

Kazree Ann is Born!!!

2009-04-23T21:34:00.000-07:00

My niece, Kylee, gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl today. Kazree was born at 3:38 p.m. weighing 7lbs 2oz and 20 inches long. Kylee did so well through the labor and delivery and both are doing very well tonight.

Random April Pictures

2009-04-22T18:50:00.001-07:00

Here I am looking as very pregnant on Easter Sunday. I went to the doctor today and everything is good. I get an ultrasound next time and that's when I start going every week. AAGH! That means it's getting closer. Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited but just not quite ready.

Here is Tyker searching for easter eggs at the Buttars' family party.

Here is Kateland, Haylie, and Madisyn

Trent showing off his awesome skills!

My good friend Stefany is here visiting from Vegas so I hung out with her on Saturday for a little while. She is due 5 weeks after me and she barely looks Pregnant!!

OOPSIE!
Trent was weed eating yesterday and looked over at the truck after he was done and the back passenger side window was completely shattered. He thinks he hit a rock that went flying. To top it all off, this is his demo car for work. Not even ours. There was glass everywhere. i had to take some pics.

Kylee and Kazree's Baby Shower

2009-04-09T17:09:00.000-07:00

My darling niece that is really more like my sister is having a baby girl her anytime. Last Saturday we had a shower for her. She got a ton of stuff and lots and lots of diapers which will help her out a ton! I am so excited to be a great aunt (even though I already am one) to her little baby girl. It will be fun having two baby girls in the family that can grow up together.

Sunny Mesquite!

2009-04-09T15:46:00.000-07:00

I have been so busy lately that I am so super behind. Three weeks ago we took the kids and headed down south to sunny Mesquite for a fun vacation before the baby arrives. Trent and the kids have fun 4-wheeling while I stayed back and relaxed in the condo.

The first morning we were there we went to eat at the Eureka and we were walking out to the car after and I told everyone to turn around and pose for a quick pic. This is the pic I got. Even Trent posed which is unusual because he usually just turns back around. Don't you think that they could be models for a family magazine?

Madisyn had fun driving her own 4-wheeler all weekend.

Tyker couldn't get enough time on the 4-wheelers. He had so much fun.

On Sunday we drove into Las Vegas to visit my good friend Stefany. She lives there and I don't get to see her much. She is also pregnant and due about a month after me. We went to lunch and shopping while Trent and the kids went and checked out M&M world and the New York New York hotel. Madisyn has more pics from her camera that I will put on later.

Trent and the kids checking out the gondolas in the Venetian hotel.

2009-03-26T15:54:00.000-07:00

I got tagged by Kylee so I went into my 4th folder to the 4th picture and here it is. Nothing exciting. This last fall my family went up to the park to take some family pics. This picture is of Trent and Burke bored out of their mind sitting on the benches. Don't they look so excited?
I'm going to tag Mom, Shawna, Candice & Andrea

Bryten's Room So Far!

2009-03-19T09:39:00.000-07:00

Bryten's room is almost done. I was going to wait until it was complete but that might be a while so I put up the pics I have so far.Trent did an awesom job repainting the room. Thank You babe! I'm still working on her letters for her name and looking for a shelf or mirror. This is her crib and bedding set.

We had a girls night one night and hung up these vinyl circles on the walls around her room. Thanks girls for your help and creativity cause I could not have done it by myself. My Dad took my cushions from this rocking chair and is going to recover it with new material so that is why it looks a little bare.

Her changing table / dresser. (Don't mind the big box in the corner. It's the stroller and carseat that we haven't taken out of the box yet.

Here is my 29 week belly picture that Trent took last night. I had worked late that day so I looked tired, but she is definetly popping out. I went to the Dr. last week and everything looks great. I'm starting to go every 2 weeks now so that means it's getting closer. YEAH!!

Baby Update

2009-02-20T19:19:00.000-08:00

I went to the doctor yesterday and everything is looking great. I have been having weird feelings that she is a boy so I talked them into doing an ultrasound to confirm and I am glad to say that she is still a girl! Not that I didn't trust them before, but these feelings I had were starting to give me anxiety. She weighs 1lb 2oz and measured perfect. I can't believe that its only a couple of months away. Right now Trent is busy painting the room so I will be posting pics of that as soon as it's done.

My good friend Andrea had her baby yesterday! This is her holding her labor kit that sweet Lindsey made for her. (Thanks Lindsey!!)
Baby Logan weighed 7lbs 7 oz and was 20 inches long. He has lots of dark hair (not too surprising) and is just as cute as can be. Andrea did great during her labor and delivery.

Here is Daddy and Baby Logan. Dad had to drive 4 hours from Wyoming and made it with and hour and a half to spare. Even with two tickets from the sam jerk cop who didn't believe him. We are so happy for them!

Work Baby Bellies!

2009-02-09T09:15:00.000-08:00

So I told you that Everyone around me is Prego. These are my good friends from work that are also expecting babies. Andrea actually had her baby yesterday. (this pic was taken just one day before her baby was born.) Crystal is due the beginning of March. This was taken at her shower. There has also been a few babies born from work this past few months. It's in the water for sure!

Girls Night!

2009-02-09T09:03:00.000-08:00

My friends Carli and Stefany and I went to dinner on Friday night to Applebees. Stefany Lives in Las Vegas and so we don't get to see her much. She is also having a baby too!! She is due mid July and I am so excited for her and Tate. It was so much fun to hang out. We missed you Heather!

Little Miss Londee-Loo!!

2009-01-24T21:45:00.000-08:00

Earlier this week we promised our sweet darling niece that we would have a sleepover at our house this weekend. It all started when the kids were all playing and Madisyn somehow bought London as one of our children. (Just thinking that it was a game). Well, London took it very serious and went and told her parents that they could sell her toys (except her littlest pet shops and her webkinz). She told them that she was coming to live with us and she was going to sleep on our hide-a-bed but that she would be by later to pick up some of her things. When we finally had to break the news to her that she couldn't come live with us is when the drama began. She started crying and I don't mean like a couple of tears, I mean she was sobbing so hard. She told her mom that her heart was broken in 50 pieces. I felt so bad. We talked her into just having a sleepover this weekend instead and she forgave us. So she is at our house in her cute little PJ's with her robe over them having a ball. Just look at how adorable she is. I'm just going to say to Chad & Candice, this little girl is gonna keep you on your toes.

Bunco Baby Bumps

2009-01-24T21:35:00.000-08:00

My friend Heather & I are both pregnant and due 2 months apart. She is due April 1st & I am due June 3rd. There are four of us that are pregnant right now in our Bunco group. We had to take a baby bump photo.

Baby Bryten Update

2009-01-07T20:27:00.000-08:00

Monday was the big ultrasound where they measure everything and check to make sure that all is going well and I am glad to say that It's really a girl and she measured perfectly!! They said that everything looks good and she is growing perfectly. As you can see we've decided to name her Bryten (still working on the middle name). She was doing a headstand almost the whole scan. She kept flipping and then go back to standing on her head. She even turned her head and looked right at us. She looks like she will be a cutie! Like I even doubted it. Here is my 19 week belly that has totally grown in the past few weeks. I have been feeling much better just a bit of tailbone pain that I'm afraid is only going to get worse. Oh well, It will be worth every pain to get our cute little little Bryten!

A Very Merry Christmas!!

2008-12-28T19:46:00.000-08:00

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....

2008-12-15T19:55:00.000-08:00

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!

2008-12-02T19:24:00.000-08:00

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!!

2008-11-24T16:13:00.001-08:00

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!

2008-11-05T17:25:00.000-08:00

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!

2008-10-29T19:01:00.000-07:00

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?

2008-10-12T14:12:00.000-07:00

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!

2008-10-12T14:05:00.000-07:00

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!

2008-09-28T21:08:00.001-07:00

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

2008-09-28T20:55:00.000-07:00

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

2008-09-28T13:27:00.000-07:00

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!

2008-09-21T10:50:00.000-07:00

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!

2008-09-11T15:19:00.001-07:00

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.

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.

Back to School

2008-08-25T20:21:00.000-07:00

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

2008-08-16T17:47:00.001-07:00

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...

2008-08-11T16:33:00.000-07:00

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

2008-07-28T16:34:00.000-07:00

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!!

Yesterday we babysat Tatum and London so I thought it would be fun for them to swim. They swam and jumped on the tramp and swung on the swingset. I of course had my camera and I was trying the different color options and took tonz of pics so I thought I would try to make a cute slideshow. I thought it turned out pretty cute for my first one. We also went to the pool again today, ( that's usually how we spend our summer sunday afternoons), and I took a few pics there as well. My family is really getting used to me having my camera attached to my face and every time I take a picture they all say "Can you say blog". It's just I love you guys so much I have to show you off!!

Fun Little Game!!

2008-07-09T17:47:00.000-07:00

So I was looking at Kelsey's adorble blog and found this little game she put on hers. I thought it would be fun to play it too! I'm excited to see who will respond and their memories of us. It can be any memory at all. This will be fun!! Here's how it goes:1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!2. Next (if you choose to), re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments. I hope that you will play!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!!

2008-06-30T20:59:00.000-07:00

So I just have to say that our kids are the cutest most creative kids ever! Today was mine and Trent's first anniversary and the kids wanted to make it special. So I got home from work and walked into the house and saw our tableclothes and centerpieces from our wedding around our kitchen. The kids had dug into the crawl space to find them all. The had them neatly layed out over our countertop and kitchen table. They also had our wedding song (The Broken Road) playing on my ipod to make it romantic. I mean, how cute is that. What kids would think of that? They also had gone onto anniversary poems.com and printed some poems to give to us. They even personalized them and decorated them for us. How creative is that? I wouldn't even think of that. So when Trent got off work they got to do all over again. I was so proud of them .
Oh yeah, when I pulled up to the house, I saw this cute sign hanging there. They are such sweet kids to do something like that for us. Trent and I were very impressed and want to say thank you and we love you guys very much!!! XOXOXO

We decided to go out last night instead of tonight because it would be easier. We were both craving seafood so we decided to go to Red Lobster and let me just tell you it was so yummy! Trent suprised me with flowers and a card, which I loved, and I brought him a 12 pack of budlight and a card, which he loves. I know it sounds silly getting your hubby beer for your anniversary but I wanted to get something he would actually like. I can't believe it has already been a year!! I has gone by so fast but in such a good way. I have never been happier in my life and am so grateful that I have Trent and the kids. They mean the world to me and I don't what I would do without them. They have adjusted well to me being in the house and learning to be a mom. Especially when it comes to my cooking. My poor family has had some pretty nasty meals this last year. Sorry guys! But its getting better. I think. Anyways, I just want to tell Trent that I love him and thanks for a great year.I can't wait for many more to come.

Madisyn' s soccer team played in a soccer tournament this last week at the weber county fairgrounds. They didn't do as well as they had hoped, but they played their little hearts out. It was like 100 degrees outside and they played three games! One of the girls on the team had made all of them a candy medal. Those are better than the real ones anyway, right? We were proud of all the girls and wish them luck in the other tournaments this summer!

Tyker had his last baseball game on thursday. I have been bad and haven't been taking any pictures at his games but I finally got some on the last game. He played on the Marlins with his friends Gage, Kenzie and some other kids. After the game, the coach had a swim party for all the players. He was a fish and didn't want to get out of the water. Well, except to go eat some pizza of course. We had a lot of fun watching him play and he did a great job!

He had alot of big hits.

CANNONBALL!!

Him and Gage having a ball.

A DAY AT THE POOL!

2008-06-22T20:21:00.000-07:00

Today we went to the aquatic center with Chad And Candice and their kids, Tatum, Kylee & Hadlee. We had a lot of fun. Trent is not a lover of the water cause "it's too cold" so he just lounged out and got sunburned as usual. But in a day or two he will just have a nice tan. It's Not Fair!

Tatum was swimming in the baby pool sliding down the frog slide. She seemed to be getting bored with it so I thought I would take her over to the playground slide, (it's a little bigger). She looked at it and said, " No I don't want to go on that slide, I want to go on That one", as she pointed to the tall curly slide. So I thought, well it's worth a shot thinking she will change her mind halfway up the stairs, but she didn't and she went down 4 times and giggled the whole time. She is going to be a handful if she is already this brave. Watch out mom and dad!!
The boys had fun wrestling with Chad. I don't know who was more tired, Chad or the kids. Chad couldn't get a break!
Tatum had so much fun she didn't know what to think!

Tyker wanted to make sure that I put the picture of him going down the straight slide. He was proud of himself and thought it was pretty cool! I told him I would. Trent did go down the slide a few times as well. That was the majority of Trent's water time. Good job boys!!
