Our 9th Jeep ( He may have a problem)

I surprised Chris with this Jeep for father's Day, I bought it by myself while he was on his annual Panguitch Fishing trip, pretty daring aren't I. Now it has been completed with a Teraflex lift and 35 in mudder's. Chris is really proud of his newest addition to his Jeep obsession, he glows when he looks or talks about it.

The 24th of July, 2008

It is so different on the 24th of July with my Grandpa & Grandma Brown passing away. The whole family use to watch the parade together, then we would all hurry to get down to the park so we could get our shade saved under "Our tree" and have lunch, then we would go back to Gran & Granp's house, eat some more, until it was time to go to the rodeo. This year was really fun, just a little different, I sat with the Nielsen's for the parade, and by the time it was over I need to find some shade to feed Trevor so I walked down to the park in hopes that someone would be under the tree but there wasn't so I sat by my self under "Our tree" and nursed:(. After nursing I met up with the Nielsen's again and we went to the carnival, Jace is so use to this type of rides he is ready for something a little more thrilling, but just not tall enough yet. Then things got back to normal we went to Chucky Cheese for lunch like usual and it was a lot of fun.
You never know how much you will cherish a traditions until it's are gone. I hope the Chucky Cheese tradition is around for a long time.

July 21st, 2008 Scales and Tales

Me and the boy's, Rachelle, Lex, Theresa, Zack and Cody went to The Scales & Tales of Utah at the South Jordan Liberary. I think it might have been the most daring thing that I have done, I am extremely terrified of snakes, but I don't want to carry that fear onto my kids, so we went. After the show Rachelle took Jace and Alexus up to touch the snake, they both dug it:0


Zak got picked to hold a snake.

July 16th, 2008 Day's of 47 Rodeo

This was a long day, I am trying to earn some extra money for our trip to San Diego this September so I loaded up the boys and we went to Vernal to deliver a Hot Shot. I decided that since I was down there I would stop at January's and feed Trevor and see her new house, before heading back, its really cute. The boy's are so good on road trips, Trevor slept the whole time and me and Jace sang to the Kids Stuff station on satellite radio, it's a lot of fun:). We went straight from Vernal to the Days of 47 Rodeo at the Delta Center, Rachael can get tickets to the suite so its really sweeet, my Dad and Carolyn also came.

July 11th-13th Logan Canyon

We went camping up Logan Canyon with the Strange Family for another 4 wheeling trip, we have such a ball together. I stayed back most of the time but on the last run I put Trevor in the sling, and we all went. Logan canyon is so beautiful we went for a sunset ride to the peak but got a little lost and never found the peak, we did how ever see a moose. Trevor slept the whole time except when we pulled over to feed him, and Jace loved every minute.



The spot we stayed at was so wonderful, shaded the whole time.


I love this picture of Kaylee and Trevor




Saturday morning everyone took off on a day long trail ride and me and Trevor stayed be hide, i thought I would be alone most of the day but not long after they left Ashlee came back with Kaylee, she had fallin asleep. Not long after that I see Clint come pulling up with Chris and our Ranger in tow. Chris broke down ( which never happens) and had to be towed back to camp, it didn't last long though, he went to town got the part and had it fixed in no time.

How many men does it take to fix a drive belt


Michael hiked to the top of the mountain as we all watched.


Hey do you want a ride.


Tuff enough to ride.


It's been a long time since we have had a campfire, roasting marshmallows and reminiscing about the past.

July 4th, 2008, Fourth of July

We invited my Dad, Carolyn and Erin over for a big Fourth of July bash, you know how Chris is with fireworks. We had BBQ ribs, a water balloon fight, watched Chris's big fireworks show and had cake and Ice cream for my B Day.

Chris couldn't wait for it to get dark so they started the pyrotechnition lessons early.



Jace got such a kick out of the water balloon fight, he wanted everyone to throw them at him.


This is Erin my step sister, she is a art teacher at a high school, I'm sure all the guy's want that class:)


Trevor is still a little grouchy from his shots, but you would never know it, all you have to do is talk to him and he produces a great big smile for you.


What is this?


Ahhhhh......it at Jace


Oh it's Papa:)

July 2nd, 2008 Trevors 2mo. check up & Ice cream at Grandpa & Grandma Brown's Grave

We had Trevor's 2 mo. check up today and Dr. Lindgrin couldn't belive how big and health he was, from the runt he was at 5 days old ( 6 lbs. 4 oz 6% 19 in. 7%) to now 11 lbs. 14 oz. 54% and 23.5 in. 78%. He smiled great big at Julie ( the nurse) everytime she would laugh at something, it was halarious . She gave him 3 immunization shots and 1 by mouth, he cried for only a second and then was fine. I kept thinking Trevor is so much bigger then Jace at 2 mo. but after looking Jace was 12 lb. 8 oz. 78% and 24 in. 80% at 2 mos. not much of a differents at this age. I had to do a delivery down is Spanish Fork later that day so I picked up Rachelle and Alexus so we could spend some time down there. After I delivered we picked up a shake at Berry's, put a blanket down by Grandpa and Grandma Browns grave and had Ice cream with them, it was so pleasant, and peaceful, we stayed for 2-3 hrs. Trevors shots were really starting to bother him the only way I could get him to nurse was to lay on the ground with him and not touch his legs at all. We also went to Rachelle's other Grandma and Grandpa's grave in Benjamin, UT.
For dinner we ran into Michelle Leifison at the baseball dimonds and went to dinner at The Pizza Factory and when we got there Alli and Nancy Ann was there, it was so funny.
