Why even try.....

2010-03-01T15:56:00.004-07:00

I decided rather then even try to catch up with all of the pictures and events from the past 4 months, I will simply post a few pictures and let the past be the past! Ty is experiencing all of the major signs and symptoms of cabin fever. We are so sick of being cooped up in the house we can hardly stand it! Macy is running all over the house chasing Ty as fast as her little legs can carry her. We are happy and loving life at the moment!
In December we had a major rainstorm IN OUR HOUSE! At the time we were totally devastated by it, but we quickly were able to see the silver lining! We were able to get enough insurance money to repaint and recarpet the entire upstairs as well as redo our kitchen. We have been doing the majority of the work ourselves so it has taken a long time to say the least! But I am loving my new upstairs and the kitchen is nearing completion, an end is in sight! Pictures will come shortly! I am going to be better blogging, in case any one out there is still interested in my life!

Grandma Great's Birthday Party

2009-11-10T17:48:00.004-07:00

On Saturday the Brown clan headed to Ogden to celebrate Grandma Great's Birthday. She truly is an incredible woman and someday I hope I can be like her in so many ways! We went to the Sizzler, which was nothing to write home about) and ate some yummy birthday cake from Costco. All in all a great day! She had been wanting some vinyl lettering for one of her rooms and came up with the quote "The best journey always takes us home." I loved how it turned out, it looked great on the wall! I think I will make one for my house!
Ty and my Mom made a hut behind the train table and Ty was convinced that it was the perfect sleeping spot for both him and grandma. Keep in mind the hut was not even big enough for Ty to sleep in. Grandma is so great to appease him to at least pretend they were going to sleep there. With a little convincing Ty settled for Grandma sleeping in his bed instead.
The next day Ty had his primary program so my parents stayed the night to come to that on Sunday. He did great despite the cold he was having, he was not in much of a performing mood!

Halloween 2009

2009-11-10T10:15:00.007-07:00

Halloween started off great with a visit from Grandpa and Grandma Brown. Always a great start to any day! Then we continued on to our tradition of going to the Lamb's ward Halloween Carnival and Trunk or Treat. Ty loves it. They have good food, fun games, and company! Ty was so indecisive this year about what to be. He kept switching back and forth from Batman and Darth Vader. The result: Batman on the inside combined with a Darth Vader mask and cape on the outside! It was great! Wendy had some really cute matching cat costumes that we put Macy and Millie in, they also looked very cute! Macy loved being in the costume, she cried and cried when it was time to take it off. I think she made the connection that the cute cat costume got her some great candy from anyone she came in contact with!
Notice the awesome pumpkins carved by John that he does every year. The one with all the holes drilled in it has always been a personal favorite, along with the unique costumes he comes up with every year!

Happy Birthday Macy!

2009-10-27T19:53:00.002-06:00

I cannot believe she is one! On one hand it seems she has been a part of our family forever, while on the other I cannot believe a whole year has past! She is so sweet, yet fiesty as can be! She has quickly learned that all she needs to do it make a little fuss and she has three people at her becking call ready to assist her in any way! We love you so much miss Mace, Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday TY!

2009-10-27T19:44:00.004-06:00

This little boy has been the greatest little adventure ever! He is so full of life, energy, and pazzaz! He is 110% boy and proud of it! Tender hearted, yet tough and unstoppable. He loves any sort of sport you throw at him, camping, 4-wheeling, x-box, superheroes, cars, balls, running, playing, and being with his cousins to name a few! There truly is never a dull moment when he is around. Ty, we love you all the way to Japan, past Jupiter, to the far American South, to the Sand Dunes and back, walking slowly with a car our backs!

Ty's party

2009-10-27T19:34:00.002-06:00

Ty had his first official friend party yesterday. I use the term"friend" very loosely since it mainly consisted of all his cousins! He insisted on making his own invitations, planning his own activities and being fully in charge. It turned out to be a lot of fun for the kids even though they did hardly any of the planned activities. Instead they just ran around like a bunch of wild animals having a great time!

Birthday Party at Bush Camp

2009-10-27T19:23:00.002-06:00

Ty looks forward to his birthday party at Bush Camp every year, and this year he was so excited to have Macy share his birthday party with him! Ty could not decide on which superhero he wanted as a cake this year so he came up with the idea of having multiple superheroes all on one cake! Just for the record it looked so much cuter in my head! Macy's small butterfly cake was a huge hit for her she ate so much of the cake, way more than a one year old should have! It was so much fun to have the whole family there to celebrate with these two sweet kids!

Random Pictures from the past month

2009-10-27T19:16:00.003-06:00

Meet the newest BABY BULLDOG!

2009-10-27T19:13:00.002-06:00

These pictures were at the Baby Bulldog open house. He was so excited to go and meet his new teachers and the kids in his class. He loved the little couches and wanted to make sure that Macy tested them out as well. I highly recommend this program, Ty loves all the creative, fun projects they do everyday.

Cute kiddos!

2009-10-27T19:10:00.002-06:00

Kissing cousins

2009-10-27T17:02:00.001-06:00

Macy loves to kiss her cute cousins!

Babies contained at the tailgate!

2009-10-27T16:58:00.002-06:00

I tried for the first few tailgates to keep Macy from crawling all over the asphalt, but I quickly gave up on that! She comes home black from head to toe and completely enjoys herself, so why try to keep her clean! We would lay out a big piece of carpet for them to play on and they would instantly crawl off the carpet and sit right next to it on the asphalt. It was all in vain, they are washable, right?

Ty's first school presentation

2009-10-27T16:55:00.001-06:00

I am so behind on this blog it is ridiculous! I will try to post just some of the good highlights! For school Ty was suppose to give a presentation all about his family. I went to watch and was very surprised and proud when he went up all by himself and told all about our little family! Way to go Ty!

I decided to dust off the sewing machine and try something new, which turned into a lot of somethings new. If anyone is in need of a gift for a baby, let me know! I am selling these for $8 each.

1st tailgate of 2009

2009-09-21T19:28:00.004-06:00

What can I possibly say about this complicated first tailgate of 2009. Was it a great time or was it horrible event? This all depends on what time frame of the day you are referring to. If you are talking about Friday night at Bush Camp and all of Saturday up until approx. 5:16 PM then it was great, fantastic, above and beyond years of tailgates! We had awesome food, a huge turnout of family and friends, and endless football games to watch (thank heavens the satellite decided to work!) Now lets talk about Saturday after 5:16 PM, well lets just say that is when the fun officially ended! What happened to BYU, I could have played better defense then the defensive line that showed up to play on Saturday. Oh well, there is always next week. Those of you that are regulars and did not show up, you were greatly missed (Lance and Kristy!) You better come next week!

The crawlers!

2009-09-17T21:20:00.001-06:00

Macy and Millie never stop, they love being mobile! Max loves to jump right in and be right with the babies!

Ty, this one's for you!

2009-09-17T21:18:00.002-06:00

Ty went to the neighborhood carnival with the Patrick's last week and had so much fun. He got his face painted and fell asleep before he could look in the mirror. I figured it would all rub off before he woke up and he would be so disappointed if he never so it!

Joe's Valley pictures

2009-09-17T21:03:00.003-06:00

As I said before, my camera died the first day of camping, luckily for me, Mom came through with lots of pictures!

Memories

2009-09-08T15:34:00.005-06:00

Here is a flashback to our very first camping trip with the trailer 4 years ago which also happened to be in Joe's Valley. I could seriously spend a whole summer there and not get tired of it. There is so much to do, camping, fishing, 4-wheeling, boating, hiking, you name it, you can do it!

Joe's Valley

2009-09-08T15:28:00.002-06:00

My camera died on the first day of camping so I have hardly any pictures, so Mom you need to email me some ASAP! My family generally goes to Joe's Valley over Labor Day weekend every year. We do not always go since football season is underway and there is often a BYU game that weekend. This year we decided to go at the last minute and I am so glad we did! It was such a fun, relaxing weekend. It rained on us a ton on Saturday, but I think it is fun to be out in the mountains in a huge rainstorm and watch the huge clouds roll in and dump a ton of water! There were so many people there that I have not hung out with in such a long time so it was great to just sit around camp and catch up! Ty and Macy did great and had a blast playing in the mud! Sean spent hours trying to get the satellite to work to watch the BYU game with no success. At least we got to listen to the game on the radio to be a part of BYU's huge win!

2009-09-08T15:27:00.001-06:00

I love that these two love each other so much!

Day in Price

2009-09-08T15:20:00.002-06:00

We do not make it to Price nearly often enough, so when we do go, it is always an action packed trip. We played outside for hours, went to the dinosaur park, made wooden swords, painted wooden swords, read lots of books, laughed, and most importantly the kids had very few fights!

They look so much alike!

2009-09-08T15:15:00.002-06:00

I went to my parents house last week and Macy started playing on a toy that Ty used to love to play with while we were there. It brought back so many memories of when he was so young. I cannot get over how much these two look alike!

This is the reason I have to get up early to do the treadmill...

2009-09-08T15:14:00.000-06:00

Elle

2009-09-08T15:12:00.000-06:00

Cute Elle came to play the other day and fell asleep on the couch, she is such a cutie! She is one girl that I never tire of having around, she is always so happy and full of life and energy. We sure love her!

Thanksgiving Point Barnyard

2009-08-26T12:43:00.004-06:00

Yesterday we attempted to go to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. I could not believe the line to get into that place, it was ridiculous it totally wrapped around the building! What was even more ridiculous was that people were willing to wait for over an hour to simply get into the overcrowded building! Amazing to see what people will do for the deal of $2 Tuesdays!
Since we were already there we decided to make the most of it and go see all the animals at the barn yard. The kids still had a great time and loved the pony ride! So I would classify the day as extremely successful, despite all the crowds!

First day of Preschool round 2!

2009-08-26T12:40:00.002-06:00

Ty started preschool round 2 this week. Although he is loving it, he is so sad about not going back to Mrs. Peay's preschool this year. He loved her, but by the time I decided where we wanted him to go this year it was already full. I cannot believe that by this time next year he will be in kindergarten, he is getting way too big, way too fast!

Weekend at Sundance

2009-08-26T12:32:00.004-06:00

Wendy's in-laws have a cabin in Sundance so we were lucky to be able to partake in the Gamette perks for the weekend! We went up Friday night after work and came home on Sunday, we had so much fun! It is great to be able to get away to have a carefree weekend with the kids. We hiked Stewart Falls, watched movies, ate great food, and Sean swam with the kids for hours. For the most part the kids did really good hiking to the waterfall, it was longer and harder than we thought it would be. Once they finally made it there they thought it was great!

Stacey is Married!

2009-08-21T17:18:00.004-06:00

As of yesterday August 20, 2009 Stacey officially became Stacey Winchester! After months of planning and so much work everything turned out perfect! The reception was in my Grandparents backyard which looked beautiful, the weather was perfect, the food was delicious, and the couple looked great! Stacey made a stunning bride and she was so happy!
I always go way overboard and take so many pictures of everything, but I dropped the ball yesterday! I have hardly any pictures! So if anyone out there has lots of pictures from yesterday, please send them my way!

Thanksgiving Point

2009-08-05T08:53:00.002-06:00

Yesterday we headed to Thanksgiving Point for $2 Tuesdays, I believe that everyone else in Utah County did too! We went to the Children's Gardens and had so much fun! The kids loved Noah's Ark, the bear cave, the maze, rolling down the many hills, the waterfalls and just simply being together! These kids would prefer to be together all the time, and have often commented on how we should all just live together! I love how they all love each other so much!

Mater sighting

2009-08-05T08:50:00.002-06:00

This was indeed the highlight of the wedding, at least for Ty! We were heading to go set up for the reception and came across Mater (of course it was just a look alike, but he did not need to know that)! I took Ty back later to see him and he was once again mesmerized by him! It was almost two years that he first saw Lightning and Mater at Disney World, and to this day he still talks about how great it was to finally meet them!

Sarah's Wedding

2009-08-05T08:47:00.002-06:00

I have no clue where Ty was this entire trip since there are so few pictures of him! Last week we headed to Twin Falls for Sarah's wedding. She was beautiful, and everything seemed to go perfectly! We loved to be with all the family that we do not get to see often enough!

The Bumbo Queen

2009-08-05T08:46:00.002-06:00

She is officially a crawler!

2009-08-05T08:44:00.001-06:00

Macy is officially crawling and getting into everything possible for her to reach! As you can tell from the pictures, Ty is having moments of not loving having a mobile sister in the house!

Switching it up....

2009-08-05T08:43:00.001-06:00

Chris's Birthday Party

2009-08-05T08:39:00.003-06:00

Last month Chris turned eight, these kids grow up way too fast! He invited all of the cousins to Classic Skating for a night of fun, and much fun was had! Ty and Darby were so cute out on the floor holding hands for the "romantic" skating. I sure do love all these cousins!

Karl Brown Family Reunion

2009-07-20T18:48:00.004-06:00

This past weekend my family was in charge of the annual Karl Brown family reunion. We chose an awesome place up the canyon close to Morgan, Utah. We had so much fun! Thanks to everyone that came and we missed all of you that could not be there! The cabin had so many things to do, a huge plush green grass area, places to ride the kids 4-wheelers, volleyball, horseshoes, kickball, basketball, a cement irrigation pool, and great people to name a few! Ty and Emmy loved playing in the cement irrigation swimming pool. I had forgotten Ty's swimming suit so he decided to go in his tighty whities! Needless to say by the time he was finished they were no longer white! They were so dirty bleach would not even make them white again! It was so good to see so many cousins we had not seen for so long and to see some of the newly engaged couple together! I love the picture of Grandma Great, (who truly is GREAT) sun tanning her legs! Thanks Grandma and Jay, we love you!

Ty and Jase, a match made in heaven!

2009-07-16T08:04:00.002-06:00

These two boys are so much fun together! Ty loves to play rough, wild and crazy all the time! As much as he loves playing with his girl cousins, it is just not the same as having another boy to let loose with! These two will do anything, try anything and love every minute of it! It is so nice to have someone for Ty to play with that I do not have to worry about his all boy personality being a problem, they play so great together!

Happy late 4th of July!

2009-07-16T07:54:00.004-06:00

This years festivities started off with Macy having a case of double pink eye, so never mind the half drunk look she has on her cute little face in every picture! Our neighborhood always has the greatest 4th of July block party! It always starts on July 3rd with a huge BBQ, water cannons, food, and fun! This year Sean made his delicious homemade donuts and they were a huge hit! Then next morning started off at 6:00am with the hot air balloons, which Ty thought were very cool, but after the horrible mood the early morning wake up put him in, it will not be happening next year! Next the crepe breakfast and parade! We then went to the Patrick's for fireworks and coconut shrimp,way to go Darrin, it was delicious! Then to end the day we went to watch the stadium of fire fireworks at Westridge Elementary which ended in a huge meltdown with Ty! All and all we had fun, but it was not a relaxing day to say the least!

Birthday pedicures!

2009-07-02T07:59:00.005-06:00

On Monday Sandi, Stacey, Mom and me celebrated my Mom's birthday with Pedicures, wedding shopping, and the park! We had so much fun! I love to spend time with my mom and sisters, (you too Dad, we just did not feel that you would be into the whole pedicure thing, no offense)! We went to the mall to the first fitting of Stacey's wedding dress, (she looked beautiful!!!!), then off to the park for lunch and a beautiful butterfly birthday cake that Sandi and Emmy made! Now for the main event, pedicures! Thanks to Marie for watching Ty and Emmy so we could enjoy the pedicures in total peace! What a great day!

Our little golfer

2009-07-02T07:55:00.002-06:00

Ty loves to do anything associated with balls. We found this golf club "treasure" as he calls it, and he was immediately outside testing it out. He was good! He instinctively knew to keep his left arm straight, turn his hips and watch the ball! He is such a little athlete, we have yet to find a sport he does not want to play!

Emmy's new headband

2009-07-02T07:52:00.001-06:00

Emmy was over playing the other day and wanted to pick out a headband. She looked so cute, and she loved it for all of about two minutes. Then it was tossed aside and wanted no more! I knew with her I had to get a picture instantly, or I never would!

Picture malfunction

2009-06-20T17:51:00.001-06:00

I could not get these two pictures to show up in the last post so here they are now! These bows are all priced at $2.00 each!

I have been a huge slacker posting new items from The Sweetest Bling collection, so here are a few highlights of new items I have for sale.
I love the headbands with the flowers attached to them simply because I can wear them too! They are so cute on babies all the way up to adults! They are priced so inexpensively at $4.00 each!
The other stretchy flower headbands are great too, they are so comfortable and stay in place great! They are priced at $3.00 each.
I have always loved the 4th and 24th of July holidays and all of the excitement that goes along with them! Since our neighborhood is literally right in the middle of the 4th of July parade we always have a huge two day party full of activities, food, fun, and did I mention food! It is always a huge hit! I decided that Macy must be fully equipped with a patriotic bow for the festivities and figured that I could not stop there, other people needed them as well! So here you have them! Red, white, and blue bows all priced at $2.00 each (large individual bow or a set of small bows).

Is there a problem with this...

2009-06-20T17:35:00.001-06:00

Playhouse fun!

2009-06-20T17:33:00.000-06:00

Thank heavens for fun cousins and the playhouse! What would we do without them!

Sweets, The Second

2009-06-16T15:15:00.002-06:00

Over two years ago when we lived in Salem, we had a cat named Sweets. When the time came to move we could not find her, she was nowhere to be found. Ty was so upset, that we had to tell him that Sweets ran away into the hills. Every time we would go near Salem he would beg us to go looking for Sweets. That was over two years ago that he was lost and still to this day he will talk about Sweets. So last week when he saw a lady giving away her kittens he was so excited, I could hardly say no. So now we are the proud owners of a cute little OUTSIDE kitten, Sweets (or Tiger as Sean calls him)! It took Ty awhile to get used to her, but he loves her now!
Last Sunday we could not find her. I was feeling so bad since she was supposed to stay inside until she got a little bigger but I was having none of that! Anyway we could not find her all day Sunday. Around 4:00 PM a neighbor brought her over claiming they had gotten very drunk the night before and somehow poor Sweets was trapped inside their house all night and all day. So sad, she came home terrified! I must not have felt all too bad about it because I still refuse to let her be in my house! I like Sweets, but I that does not mean I have to let her live in my house or touch her, right?

Fun with Madi and Jase!

2009-06-16T15:05:00.004-06:00

We have totally loved living in Provo, but I never imagined how much I would miss living so close to Madi and Jase. They are amazing kids, oh how we miss them! They came and spent a couple of nights with us last week and we had so much fun! We went to Smith's to get some groceries and Ty and Jase loved the shopping carts that were just their size! They raced around the store collecting food and nearly running over every person that came their way!
At our yard sale last week we somehow came home with a cute little kitten that Ty named Sweets. No sooner had Madi arrived that we were in the car headed to Walmart to accessorize the cat. Madi insisted on a blinged out collar, a personalized name tag (which states the proud owners as Ty and Madi), a new bed, and supplies to make the cat toys! She is such an animal lover!
The next day was spent with Madi running around with Ty and Jase entertaining them for hours! I always have to give Shelley a fair warning that there is a very good chance that by letting her kids come over for an extended period of time may very well result in her never getting her kids back! Once we have them here, we never want to give them back! We love you!

My Dad, THE HERO!

2009-06-16T14:58:00.002-06:00

My car has been making the most horribly embarrassing sound lately! My dad happened to be in town so I had him take a look. Sure enough the brakes both front and back were shot! So we headed down to the #1 mechanic in Price, my Dad, and being the hero and life saver that he is, he replaced the rotors and pads on my car in no time at all! What would we do without him! He is amazing! Take notice of the pictures, when he said the brakes were bad, he really meant it! Those pads with absolutely nothing left of them came off the back driver side tire. I should have taken a picture of the rotors as well. They are supposed to be perfectly flat and my back brakes had multiple Grand Canyon's running through them!
While I was out "helping" Dad, my wonderful Mom was inside with the kids having a great time! Thanks so much for all you do for us, we love you more than you could ever possibly imagine!

Sleeping on Dad

2009-06-09T08:12:00.001-06:00

Our kids (and nieces and nephews) always love to fall asleep on Sean! He is obviously a comfortable person to fall asleep with!

Preschool graduation, round one!

2009-06-09T08:08:00.003-06:00

Ty has officially graduated from his first year of preschool! His teacher Mrs. Peay was great! He learned so much, made so many cute friends, and had so much fun! We are so proud of you Ty and love you so much! Thanks to all the family that came to support Ty!

Tennis obsession

2009-06-09T08:05:00.000-06:00

Ty is just like his dad! When he decides he likes something he wants to be doing it all the time. There is a great spot by our house that Ty and Sean love to go play tennis. Ty wants to go at least twice a day. He developed a huge blister on his hand from playing and he would still not ease up on playing! As you can see in the picture, he even loves to sleep with his tennis racket!

2009-06-09T08:03:00.000-06:00

Her first popsicle!

2009-06-09T08:01:00.002-06:00

Macy loves treats, I think it is safe to say she is my child!

A very tiring Saturday...

2009-06-09T07:58:00.002-06:00

Last Saturday we had a neighborhood yard sale that was very productive and fun! Ty got up early with me to be to the yard sale by 7:00 and he spent the entire day with me running around playing with the neighborhood kids. Needless to say, when we got home he was tired. This is how we found him asleep on the kitchen floor minutes after we got home! What a great helper!

Sand Dunes!

2009-06-09T07:53:00.003-06:00

Last week we ventured out to the beloved Little Sahara Sand Dunes. We had a lot of fun! It was the first camping trip of the year, and the first of Macy's life! She did great! Ty is getting so good on his little four wheeler, he even took it up in the big sand dunes this time! He is too big! Ty and Emmy were covered in sand from the second we got there to the second we left and loved every minute of it!

Gummy Bears vs. Action Figures

2009-05-21T22:47:00.002-06:00

This little boy is getting way too big way too fast! I love to sit back and watch him play and be so creative! He picked out a bag of police action figures last time we were at all a dollar. The second we got home with them he was instantly upstairs putting them into groups of police (in straight lines of course) to get them all prepared to fight the dreaded Gummy Bears! Needless to say, the Gummy Bears were quickly taken down by the Action Figures! I did my part of helping Ty make sure the gummy bears were taken care of once and for all by eating them all gone one by one!

Our Little Princess!

2009-05-21T22:43:00.002-06:00

We went to the park last Friday with Sandi and Keera and had a great afternoon! Sandi kept giving Macy so many different foods like graham crackers and pizza crust that she was loving and making a huge mess with! It grosses me out when babies are covered in slimy, slobbery food, I can not stand it! So as she was sucking on all of these foods I kept taking the away and cleaning her off just in time for Sandi to give her another food to get all gross again! I need to learn how to deal with a messy eater!

Day at the Park

2009-05-21T22:40:00.005-06:00

We love to go to the park, especially the missionary park as Ty calls it! He thinks the statue in front of the park is a missionary and he loves to climb on it and point out all the letters on it, he is getting so smart!
Macy has been enjoying the swings so being the awesome helper that he is, Ty pushed Macy on the swings and made sure she was having a great time! I love summer time!

Ty and Macy

2009-05-21T22:35:00.002-06:00

Ty and Macy are so cute together! The other night Ty insisted that Macy was wanting to have a sleep over in his room. He woke up the next morning and he was so concerned when he did not find Macy sleeping by him. She had woken up in the night and somehow made it back to her crib!
Lately while I have been exercising Ty has been "babysitting" Macy. He thinks it is so much fun to cuddle next to her on the couch and play xbox or watch a show! He is such a great big brother!

I love this warm weather!

2009-05-21T22:31:00.002-06:00

It is so great to be outside all day! Having a little boy has made me realize all of the many adventurous things there are to do literally right outside my door! I was helping Jackie with a vinyl project so Brock, Hailey, and Emmy were over playing outside, we had a lot of fun! The boys started a water fight which Emmy loved up until the point that someone threw water on her! Apparently she only likes water fights where she is the one (and the only one) throwing the water!

Playhouse fun!

2009-05-02T20:53:00.002-06:00

I love to have the nieces and nephews over, they always have so much fun, mingled with a bit of fighting! The kids love the playhouse Sean built and want to spend every second in it! It is so nice to have the sod and no more dirt!

Macy and Grandma Brown

2009-05-02T20:45:00.001-06:00

Grandma and Grandpa Brown came and stayed with us last weekend and we had so much fun! I loved these pictures of Macy snuggling grandma! I think my kids have got to be the luckiest kids in the whole world to have two sets of incredible grandparents that love them so much!

Nigh out with Allison

2009-05-02T20:42:00.002-06:00

I do not get to spend nearly as much time as I would like to with Allison! Who is lucky enough to have their best friend as long as you can remember also be your cousin! We went rollerblading on the Provo River Parkway and had a ton of fun! Thanks for helping me remember how much I love to rollerblade! This will surely turn into a weekly tradition for us!

Season one of soccer has come to an end

2009-05-02T20:39:00.002-06:00

Ty's first experience with soccer has come to an end! It started off horrible to say the least but by the end of the season he was loving it and playing so good. He was so cute as he would run around the field with a huge smile on his face giggling the whole game! I love this stage of life as he begins to play sports and look forward to watching him play countless games of all kinds in the future!

Is Summer here yet?

2009-04-24T16:05:00.002-06:00

On Tuesday we finally put some sod down around the playhouse Sean built last summer, what is better than instant grass! The kids love playing in the playhouse, or clubhouse as Ty calls it, but they would always get so dirty in it! Now hopefully that there is grass, the nieces and nephews will not require a bath everytime they come over to play! I was out watering the sod the next morning and Ty was so excited to run through the sprinklers for the first time of the summer! I cannot wait for it to actually be warm enough to play in the water all day! Yeah for warm weather!

No training wheels!

2009-04-24T16:01:00.001-06:00

Ty is officially riding his bike without his training wheels! He saw Darby doing it on Sunday so of course he was determined at that point to do it himself! Monday morning we woke up, headed over to the church parking lot to give it a try and it did not go so well. I figured he was just not ready for it. He wanted to try again that same afternoon and within minutes he was saying "let go mom, I can do it!" So I let go and sure enough, off he went all on his own! Way to go Ty, we are so proud of you!

Macy at 6 months!

2009-04-24T15:55:00.003-06:00

I cannot believe Macy is 6 months old! Where has the time gone! She is such a fun baby with such a distinct personality! She is starting to sit up, wants to grab everything and put it in her mouth, wants to eat what we are eating, loves her tongue, jabbers nonstop, and most of all she loves Ty! She absolutely loves him! Every time he walks into the room she is full of smiles and giggles for him, he is such a great big brother!

The Sweetest Bling's first boutique this weekend in Traverse Mountain!

2009-04-16T21:31:00.003-06:00

Visit www.sweettweetsboutique.blogspot.com for all of the details! There are a lot of very cute, fun, and unique vendors at this show! I hope to see you there!

Soccer day two considered a success!

2009-04-09T14:00:00.002-06:00

The second game this week was great compared to the week before! He actually went out onto the field and played, granted Sean was right by his side, but about 10 minutes into the game Sean was finally allowed to go take a seat on the sidelines! He did great, and had a lot of fun!

The Sweetest Bling

2009-03-24T16:46:00.002-06:00

So I have become completely obsessed with making flower hair bows for Macy, so I have decided to start selling them! I have also loved making jewelry for years so there will be some fun mommy and me jewelry as well as binky clips, snag resistant nylon and crochet headbands, crochet hats, baby gifts sets, bow holders, and much more! Check out my blog at The Sweetest Bling! I am going to start doing some boutiques as well, the first one will be April 17th and 18th at a home in Traverse Mountain. I will post more details as I get them!

A not so successful first day of soccer

2009-03-23T18:34:00.002-06:00

Ty was so excited to go to soccer on Saturday, that was until he walked over the hill and saw the huge crowd of people waiting below! He had gotten to be so shy! He had fun warming up kicking the ball with Sean, but the second Sean walked off the field and the coach was the only one there, Ty wanted nothing to do with it! He looked so cute in his cleats, soccer shorts, socks, and his oversized jersey I was so sad he did not want to play! Oh well, maybe next time!

Happy Macy!

2009-03-15T16:12:00.003-06:00

She is so happy whenever she wakes up from her naps, I have to just hold her and take it all in while I can! I bought these cute tights so long ago so I was so excited when I discovered today that they actually fit her! I love how with babies you buy them so much stuff when you are pregnant thinking the time is so far away that they will actually get to wear anything, and then before you know it, it fits and then they instantly out grow it! I figured I better get pictures while I can since at the rate she is growing, they may not fit her next week!

Disney on Ice

2009-03-15T16:06:00.002-06:00

On Saturday all eight of us piled into the Patrick's van and headed up to Disney on Ice! Ty and Darby had a great time and seemed to love every minute of it! Max on the other hand seemed to love the popcorn and drink and could not seem to care less about the show! It was a lot of fun!

Cute kids

2009-03-15T16:03:00.001-06:00

Ty loves to lay on the bed with Macy and of course, I love to take their picture! Ty was not too into taking the pictures on this particular day as you can tell by his face in the majority of the pictures! I sure do love these two!

Motorcycle season!

2009-03-15T15:57:00.002-06:00

I was so excited that it was finally starting to get warm enough outside to get the motorcycle out. Ever since Sean bought the motorcycle we would ride it over to the Lamb's for our Sunday dinner, obviously only when it was nice and warm outside! We all loved it! So in my mind I was thinking that it was almost time to start this tradition up again, then the reality that those days are a thing of the past hit me like a ton of bricks! Unfortunately I do not think it would be a great idea to have the four of us all on one motorcycle! It looks like I am going to have to learn to ride the other motorcycle sitting in the garage myself to be transporting the whole family via motorcycle! My first couple of times trying to drive that thing did not go so well, good thing I have a few years before Macy will be old enough to be taken for a ride!

Sweet Ty!

2009-03-13T09:08:00.002-06:00

Last night as I was putting Ty to bed he said the sweetest thing, I had to write it down so I would not forget! I said "Goodnight Ty, I love you," then he said, "Mom, I love you more than any other little boy loves his mom!" I love this stage of life! They are so full of life, love, and energy! I love you my sweet Ty Ty!

Brother and Sister

2009-02-27T23:00:00.002-07:00

I just love to watch these two together! We had wanted Ty to have a sibling for so long and now that he finally has one it is so much better then I could have imagined! I hope they will be close and can be the best of friends forever!

A Superhero fan in training

2009-02-27T22:57:00.002-07:00

Ty was so excited to have a sister who he could play with at anytime. She is just barely starting to hold onto things so of course the first thing she is handed is a Spiderman toy from Ty! He loves to play superheroes all the time and now that he feels like Macy is playing with him, he could not be happier!

Mystery desk

2009-02-27T22:54:00.000-07:00

The other day I went into Ty's room and he had set up multiple chairs each with their own make shift desk in front of it and called it his mystery desks. He had set them up in anticipation of his cute cousins coming over to play. For those of you who do not know, apparently a mystery desk has many special powers to help you be a detective, a doctor, a car fixer, or anything else you could possibly imagine while sitting at the mystery desk. Ty has the greatest imagination, I love waiting to see what he will come up with next!

Gymnastics!

2009-02-27T22:50:00.002-07:00

I have been trying to keep Ty busy the past few months so that the two of us do not go crazy trapped in the house for the winter so I decided to give gymnastics a try! He loved it for the first few weeks and then he just seemed to get bored! He did learn how to do back bends really well as you can see, he was incredible on the balance beam, and loved the uneven bars! It was alot of fun to watch him, but it was time to move on to something else. So why I signed him up for the second session of gymnastics I will never know! I do not think we will make it through!

Macy's first time swimming

2009-02-11T20:53:00.002-07:00

We went out to the Lehi swimming pool last Friday for a day of swimming. At first Macy did not exactly know what to think of the whole idea so she cried quite a bit but eventually she figured out it was alright! Of course Ty was extremely disappointed that the big slide was closed but he managed to have a great time regardless. The fun ended as soon as it was time to get the kids showered and dressed, it was complete chaos! Macy was so tired and hungry that she was screaming as loud as I have ever heard her cry for about 15 minutes while I tried to get both the kids dressed and into the car. The way I look at it is that it was really good practice for a summer of Seven Peaks, I have a lot to learn and practice before I am ready to conquer the world of seven peaks two times a week with two kids!

Cousins!

2009-02-11T20:48:00.003-07:00

Ty and Emmy

Ty, Kayla, Macy, Millie and Elle Superbowl Sunday after the game

Macy and Millie
I have said this many times in the past but we are seriously so lucky to have so much family so close to us to share our lives with! There is never a shortage of cousins to get wild and crazy with which is exactly what they do! Ty is now 4 years old and we have never yet had to have a babysitter that was not family! It is great, we love them all so much!

The Ty man

2009-02-11T20:44:00.002-07:00

Ty has been such an awesome big brother. He is such a huge help and has never for one second seemed jealous of Macy, he is way to busy just loving her. He loves cars, guns, balls, wrestling, fighting and every other boy thing you could imagine. We watched Mulan the other day and next thing I know he comes out riding his horse with the sword attached to it and was pretending to be one of the good soldiers going to save the day. I just love the imagination and creativity of this little boy!

Growing like a weed!

2009-02-11T20:41:00.002-07:00

Macy is getting way too big WAY TOO FAST! It is so sad! She is such a great baby and I feel so lucky to have her!

Thank heavens for youtube!

2009-01-20T15:13:00.002-07:00

Everytime we watch a movie Ty will always find at least one part in the movie where there is a song he loves! He watched Mama Mia and instantly fell in love with all of the songs, next was Rocky 1, 2, 3, 4.... he just loves music! So Sean always seems to find clips from the movies on youtube and has them ready for Ty to watch so we don't have to rewind the movie a million times! I have to pretend that my computer at home doesn't play the songs or else he would want to sit and listen to them all day long. The second Sean walks in the door Ty is asking for the laptop to start watching his music!

"I see.....

2009-01-20T15:04:00.002-07:00

When the picture of Ty was taken almost exactly 4 years ago Sean printed it out put it in his Ty picture book and wrote "I see blue!" So here we are 4 years later with Macy saying "I see pink!" It is great to have their birthdays so close together to go back and see what Ty looked like, and what he was doing at this same stage of life! It is almost eerie to see how they resemble each other so much and seem to have so many of the same characteristics! I love these two kids so much, I often look back and think, what did I ever do with myself before they came around!

Bath time!

2009-01-20T15:00:00.001-07:00

Ty loves to get in the bath and help with Macy. She was crying so hard in the bath the other day and Ty said, "don't worry mom, I'll take care of it!" Next thing I know Macy is sucking on Ty's finger and she instantly stopped crying! They are so cute together! I love how she is starting to recognize him and smiles the second he walks in the door!

Cute pictures of Macy!

2009-01-20T14:55:00.002-07:00

Here are a few recent pictures of Macy. She is getting so big and has the cutest big solid cheeks! Notice in the last picture her cute pierced ears, I know she is only two months but I could not resist! I love them!

Gymnastics

2009-01-20T14:47:00.002-07:00

Ty started gymnastics in January and he has loved it! The first day of gymnastics they asked that all parents refrain from taking any pictures because there would be a chance for pictures on the last day of class. How can they ask any parent to refrain from taking a picture the first time their child walks across a balance beam. Needless to say, I could not resist!

Daddy's little helper!

2009-01-20T14:34:00.002-07:00

Luckily we have not had many rental projects lately! But yesterday when Sean had to fix a leak I bet you can guess who was instantly at his side with his toolbox in hand ready to help!

At home removal of the cast, NOT RECOMMENDED!

2009-01-09T13:03:00.003-07:00

Over two hours after he began what he thought was a very simple task, the cast was finally removed! I heard him limp downstairs and I new that within a matter of minutes he would be attempting to take off his cast with a dremmel. After he had either dulled or broke every last dremmel attachment that could possibly work, he moved on to the high tech tools pictured above. I guess he figured there was very little difference in wearing the cast for one week compared to three to four weeks the doctor had told him. As you can tell from the pictures he used very appropriate sterile tools, hopefully no infection will set in! The picture does not do the incision justice, it looks so sore! I do not think he would admit it, but I think he regrets taking it off!

Poor Sean!

2009-01-08T21:58:00.004-07:00

This year for New Years Eve I spent the night giving Sean a little TLC after his surgery. He had a bone spur and he needed his plantar facia lengthened. It had been hurting him forever so he finally decided to do something about it! He was supposed to wear his cast for 3-4 weeks but as I am sitting here blogging he is in the kitchen with his dremmel working on removing the cast himself! He says it is bothering him, but anyone that really knows him would know that the real reason for taking it off is that he is dying to see the wound!

Can you tell what I have been doing lately?

2009-01-06T15:23:00.002-07:00

I started off thinking that every baby girl needs a few bows so I started making some. Next thing I know I cannot stop, I am obsessed! I kept making the ribbon longer on her bow holder to make room for all of the new bows, now I have to just put all the new additions in a drawers! I love it!

Cousins

2009-01-04T21:01:00.003-07:00

Brady just loves Macy! He is so cute with her! I said this before, but I cannot wait until she is a little older and she will finally respond to Brady's love and attention to her!
The other picture is of Millie and Macy who were born only 5 days apart. She is so lucky, she had cousins everywhere! Wendy and her kids came to play and Millie and Macy happened to be wearing the same outfit so of course we had to take a picture! Wendy is magical when it comes to getting the kids to smile for pictures. I could not believe she was able to get both of these two month old girls to smile at the same time, it was so cute!

An exciting trip to Walmart!

2009-01-04T20:54:00.003-07:00

It amazes me that every year when we are in Price for Christmas I always need to go to Walmart to finish up something for Christmas! This year on one of our many outings to Price all of the girls went and left the husbands and kids at home! Just as we were about to leave we spotted huge boxes filled with these cute shirts we are wearing. We each got a thermal undershirt and the cute T-shirts on top for a total of $7! How could we pass up the chance to all get such cute shirts and get a picture together! We were at Walmart for so long, girls need a night out every once in a while even if all you get is a long trip to Walmart with your sisters and mom!

Christmas 2008

2009-01-04T20:42:00.003-07:00

We had a great Christmas this year. As always on Christmas Eve Eve we made our way to Price to spent time with my family. We helped my Mom make a lot yummy food (actually she made a lot of great food and we helped her eat all of it!), we played outside sledding and riding the 4-wheelers, went to Wal-mart countless times and just enjoyed each others company! The first day we were there Ty wanted to be pulled on a sled behind the 4-wheeler. He was having so much fun and refused to come inside. By the time we finally convinced him to come in we discovered that he was starting to get frostbite on both of his wrists, we felt so bad! Late on Christmas Eve night we came home to have some traditions of our own. Ty fell asleep on the way home from Price so Sean and I left cookies and diet coke out for Santa for Ty. Christmas morning we woke up, opened presents and has a yummy breakfast of omelets, bacon and oranges. Then around 5 we headed over to Sean's families house for a action packed night of the traditional bingo game, where there is never a dull moment! We had a great Christmas and hope everyone else did too!

The Roof

2009-01-04T20:01:00.003-07:00

On December 16, 1998 Sean and I had our first date at the Roof in Salt Lake. We had a great dinner and then walked around Temple Square looking and the lights. It must have been a great date since here we are ten years later as happy as can be! We have made it a tradition that every Decemeber 16 for the past ten years we go to the Roof with Chris and Tysen and recreate the date! I cannot believe it has been ten years! I love you Sean!

Loving the snow

2009-01-04T19:58:00.004-07:00

Ty has had so much fun this winter playing in the snow. One of his favorite things to do is let the snow pile up on the slide of his playhouse and then race upstairs and slide down. I love to watch him playing with his endless amounts of energy! I wish that I could have an ounce of his energy, I could accomplish so much!
