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.

July 24th, 2009 "THE 24TH"

This is our 25th annual Chucky Cheese Party with the Nielsen's, I can not believe that is has been going on that long. Everyone always complains about going but we just can't stop the traditon, and the kids love it.


Papa took Trevor around to all the little rides, Trevor's smile was just priceless

After Chucky Cheese we rushed home to have a BBQ at our house, we have a great backyard for that. The Walden's Family, Brittney and Jaron, T.J and Carol and My Dad and Carolyn all came. Everyone brought thier own meat.... except Brittney and Jaron, come to find out I had failed to tell them about that small piece of info.... Oops!!!
We had a little firework show in the backyard, and the kids did sparklers, ok we all did sparklers. We also had glow in the dark sticks that were quite a hit, even Duckie got to glow.

July 17th, 2009 Fielding Day's

I had a Bridal Shower to go to down in Spanish Fork, and because Chris loves hangin out with the Nielsen's, he took us down, and then went and visited Ernie during the shower. Then we all went to lunch in Provo at a really good Mexican Joint. And then.... we decided to head up to Fielding Day's with Ashlee and Brian and Denise, we had dinner, music and fireworks, it was a really great day.
Brian is a Firefighter for Fielding and he got to set off the fireworks, so that was cool. The only bummer was that Jace wasn't with us, he was having a sleepover with Papa.
