WOW 2 posts in one day!!!!

Haevyn is 11 months old and he has discovered his land legs!! He is walking!! He figured this out last Thursday!! It is so hard to believe that he is going to be a year old on the 15th of December! It seems like yesterday I was running his mom to Dr. appointments. Worrying about her having that dumb blood disorder and hoping that she wouldn't travel. I can't even remember if she did or not. .
He actually ended up growing out of this cute costume before Halloween came around. He is to cute!!

Thank you Kirsten and Justin for having him! He is a true joy in this family!! We love you all very much!!

It's Thanksgiving time!!

Oh my, is it really the end of November again?!!!! Man time flies as you get older doesn't it?

Every year we gather with the Green family to have our Thanksgiving Dinner the Saturday before the actual day. We do this so that everyone can be there and get to see each other. You know how crazy it can get when you are trying to get to all the families on your list in one day!! My family(ies), his family, seeing kids and all that can wear you out and quite frankly I hate trying to get it all done in one day. It makes me hate the day ahead and just want to stay home. So this works out much much better, for us anyway! Did I mention that there are enough people that we have to have dinner at a church?

Dad and Les came down from Boise and I got to see them for a few hours. Mandi, Tim and Kenli came up from West Jordan. That Kenli is getting so big and she is such a cutie pie! Jake wasn't there unfortunately. I am beginning to wonder if he hates the cold. He is always where it is warmest. Colby was even there! He could really be at all of my family functions. Momma Les was married to his dad and his real mom is also my uncles wife. Are you keeping up? That one always gets people confused. This makes my cousin my Stepsister and Stepbrothers half brother.

Grandma Millie was surprised with a Birthday Cake for her 75Th Birthday. It was a little early for her to celebrate but... with all the extended family there what better way to do it??

Everyone LOVED Kaylynns new hair do!! It was the first time most of the family had seen it. I love it I really think it is cute on her.


All in All we had good food, great Family, and a good time had by everyone.
Ha Ha Ha! Ethan made the discovery that one of his cousins that hasn't come to dinner (Colby daughter) before is in his 3rd and 4Th hour. They did not realize that they were related to each other. He was kinda freaked out by this. I asked him if he had thought of making her is girlfriend and he turned about 6 shades of red and continued to talk to himself about the whole situation. It was cute! Welcome to our family boys!! Like dad said "around here you have to ask about family history" because we have a ton of family. Many families interwoven into one!! It really does get confusing sometimes.

For the REAL turkey day Robert and I are headed south. I hope it is good weather. We are going to my grandparents to see my moms side of the family. I haven't been down there for turkey day in 3 years and it has been even longer for Robert. We are excited to get to stay at Uncle Steves cabin in Pine Valley. Thanks Steve, we REALLY appreciate it. With Bailey being as sore and not well as she is there is no way I would kennel her right now. If I weren't able to bring my dogs I wouldn't be coming. So thank you. Love you.

So I guess when I get home from that adventure I will be posting again. It should be a good time! We will miss those that we won't see this year.

Happy Thanksgiving all!!

Apron Giveaway!!

OK so one of the blogs I follow for her wonderful recipes posted today about a contest. This contest is for an apron. It is way cute and if she gets more than 30 comments she is tossing in one more to give away. Go check out her blog!! Click HERE!

Fine already!

I have been told to update my blog! So here it goes!

October has come and gone by so fast! Robert went hunting from the 1st of October to the 24Th. In that time he got his Elk and his Deer tags filled. This also means that I have a VERY full freezer! No kidding, this happens every time, I don't think a burrito will fit in there! It will be better once I get the Salami and the Jerky cut into manageable pieces. I have 7 3ft long Salamis in there right now. I saw them and went "Um, what are we gonna do with these? They are huge!"



I went and spent a week of the Deer hunt at camp with the guys. They know when I show because I bring the REAL food and the REAL coffee. No more fake crap! I also took full advantage of being home alone! I didn't make dinner if I didn't want to, I went for a massage, I took my Mom to see Thriller, of course I went bowling every Wednesday and I went to a movie.

Sierra went up to camp for a weekend also. It was fun to see her and hang out for a little bit. She got to dress up and do the Thriller dance at school for Halloween. That is her on the left.

Now it is November and I am working on Christmas. I have had my Christmas cards made and I am typing this while taking a break from addressing envelopes to send them in. I have always tried to get them put together and ready to go by Thanksgiving. One of my weird things I do. But I have a good reason! If I get the chance to go to St. George for Thanksgiving then I can have them done and ready to give my family down there and it saves me on postage. See good reason right! I know it isn't the same as getting them in the mail but to bad! I don't always make it down there anyway.


This is what I was for Halloween this year. I love dressing up it is fun to be someone your not once in awhile!

It has been 3 years since I was there for the Holidays. I am doing my best to get there this year. My Grandpa is in the Hospital and isn't doing well. He hasn't ate anything in 3 weeks. His liver and kidneys have shut down and he has fluid around the heart from what I have been told, just to start. So I need to go, right.

So that is what has been happening around here for the last month. I hope all is well with your families.

Finally a day off!

So today is my first day off in 13 days. (not to mention trying to get Robert situated so he could go hunting for a month) I know I know WAHH! Anywho, I am enjoying it very much thanks. First I slept in!! I NEVER sleep past 7:30 and today I was quite surprised to look over and see 9:30 this morning. I was a very tired girl. Did I mention grouchy?

I have a list of things to do today but here I am typing away. I left my motivation in my bed I am sure of it. After I get my dishes and Laundry done I am going to go to my nephews last home football games this afternoon. I am wondering if Thermals will be necessary or not.

Robert made it to camp safe and sound. He had to come back down yesterday for hay and horses and I don't know when I will hear from him again. I did however leave his HAM radio on the bar for him to take with him this time so that maybe he could contact either his Dad or Brother. I tried to learn the stuff for the test to get a HAM radio licence but I have a hard time reading the instructions and putting it together. I just need to go and actually take the class. Who knew it was so complicated. (maybe it isn't I am just an idiot) Although I did know stuff in that book from my electronics class I took in High School. I really had to reach WAY far back in the dusty closets of my mind but I remembered.

Here are some pictures of Tyrell #4 and Ethans #13 last home game. It was sunny and warm and tan lines got darker. I really don't think that will happen today. My flip flaps are hitting the closet until next summer. Bye Bye flip flaps I love you.












Look who else I found at the game. Hi Grandma Milli and Grandpa Max!! Love you guys! Oh and that is Uncle Dave. Tyrells coach this year.

I think about blogging all the time. I just don't. I'm tired with a side of grouchy right now. To busy.
THE END.

Happy Birthday Sakia!!

Two years ago on September 17Th we met her. She was perfect and she wasted absolutely no time getting here!

You have become quite the little princess. Everybody adores you and your brothers love you like mad!

You have changed so much in just 2 years. I can't wait to see what you do next!

Your little princess wave cracks me up! Where did you pick that up?

I love your little attitude! It isn't often that you are grumpy!

I love how you say my name! We have to get it on video so you can see it when you get big, it is to cute how you have to get your little face all scrunched up and your tongue sticking half out of your face. Why is my name the only one you can't say? Kalani and Zarian are hard names too! But I will take Allika or just ka for as long as you want baby girl!
Happy Birthday! I love you VERY VERY much!
