September 11, 2009 Bingham Copper Mine

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
