We had such a great time at the Fair, such a great time that we spent 10 hrs there, crazy I know... We bought the kids wrist bands so they could ride the rides as much as they wanted over and over again, so of course we stayed until they closed it down.

I couldn't believe what a little dare devil Jace was, he kept trying to do a back flip, 20 feet in the air.

Jace loved this slide a lot, and snuck 4 in before they realized that he was to short, so lucky me, I even got to go on it a couple of times so Jace could keep going.


Both me and Rachelle's hubby's were out of town so we stayed at the fair until after dark to listen to the Boyz 2 Men concert, on the outside of the stadium. Jace and Lex got there groove on. I love Jaces Hard dancing.
Ok, this is a total sign that I am getting old, this Farris Wheel scared me to death, they aloud me to go on with Trevor, and the little cups that they send you up in only have flapping doors that don't lock and and no seat belts.... the kids were really good in it but I felt that any minutes they where going to jump out... Never again!!!

Trev loved it though.

September 11, 2009 Bingham Copper Mine

Uncle Adam spend a couple of day's with us, he wondered why the mountain looked so funny over there so we decided to take him up to the mine to check it out.

September 2nd, 2009 Grandma Wakefield has passed

Grandma Wakefield passed away yesterday afternoon, she has left a big hole in our hearts, and for Chris, I cannot imagine the grief he is going through, to say goodbye to the women who has had such a big part in raising you.... I am so sorry.... I found this poem that I would like to share.

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found that peace at the end of the day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things too I will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one' touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

We will miss you Grandma Wakefield

August 30th, 2009 Jace 4th birthday

Grandpa Wakefield gave Jace this John Deer Tractor for his Birthday, it is the cutest dang thing I have ever seen. Jace can whip it around like he has been driving for years.


Is that to funny, Trevor is such a tough nut, he just got up and wanted more.

Jace wanted to bring his Space Shuttle so he could deliver the pieces with his Tractor.

August 29th 2009 Jace's 4th Birthday Party

This is the Pirate Treasure Chest Cake I made for Jace's Birthday Party.
















Jace asked for a Great Big Space Shuttle for his birthday, I searched everywhere for one, I finally found one on the east coast so I 2 day shipped it here with 7 days to go.... no problem right... well friday night at 6:30, it still had not arrived ( keep in mind that this was his main gift from us) anyway I finally got a hold of the the place that I had bought it from, she had no idea why I hadn't recieved it yet but she overnighted us a new one, it got her the next morning at 9 am, AMAZING!!!
ok really who are the kids here, Chris and Jaron turned the tv onto the outdoor channel and shot nurf bullets at the deer on tv.


Jace and Lex jumped in the bounce house untill after dark, what a great birthday Jace had.

August 27th, 2009 Matching Gap Outfits

Mama got the boy's matching Outfits at the Gap, they are so cute, and Trevor felt so cool in them he smiled and posed and stomped his feet in his new shoes.

August 25th, 2009 Jace Starts Challenger Preschool

My sweet little baby is starting his 1st day of school, he is so excited, he woke up at 4:30 this morning wondering if it was time to go yet. And I feel so proud that we are able to send him to Challenger School.

We got everything checked out so he would be all ready.... he got a hair cut, and we got his teeth all checked out... and yes no cavities.
He also had a check up with Dr. Lindgrin, he weighs 35 lbs 41% and 3ft. 4 in 50 % so he is right were he should be.

July 26th, 2009 American Fork Ranger Ride

So like we hadn't done enough....We decided to go riding with Brit and Jaron up American Fork, this was the 1st time with Trevor, we rode hard all day long and both the boy's did awesome.

Chevy wanted to get into the water so bad so I stripped him down to his diaper and let him at it, it was so funny because he would sit right down in it, and then jump right back up with shock of how cold it was, and then he would do it again, over and over.
This is the view of the Heber Valley, I was so over took with emotion when we got to this point, I thought how amazing is this, that we are able to go as a family with both the boy's on this incredible adventure, know I know it was just a ride up the canyon, but when you have kids, you really learn to appreciate the little things that you get to do. Jace was taking a little snooze

July 25th, 2009 Bee's Game

We got a babysitter for Chevy Trevy and rode Trax down to the Bee's Game with Brittney and Jaron. We had such a good time, and it was Jace's 1st so we bought him a hat. I really worried about how good Jace would sit through all the innings but he did sooooo...... good, he watch the whole game, and he knew when to boo... and when to cheer.Of course the food helped keep him content as well, he had a Snowcone.....

Popcorn....
Pretzel bits, and of course Chris had to have a Hot Dog ( I guess that is a Baseball thing)And Dip-n-Dots

I love this picture so much, they look so much a like it is scary

August 8th, 2009 Franklin Basin Camping

This was a spur of the moment camping trip with the Strange Family, we dry camped up Logan Canyon from Friday to Sunday. We had a really good time, spending most of the time around the fire visiting, it was really quite cold, around 45 during the day and below freezing at night. Keep in mind that we are the only ones that had a trailer, the rest were tenting it, talk about some hard core campers, and one the them was only 4 months old. Jace had is own fire stick that he was able to man the fire with and I think he ate a whole bag of marshmallow's on his own.



Clint is very serious about his fires, using huge logs for wood, and lots of it.
