They say the third time is a charm...

Abby Leigh, Amaia, Jordan, hmmm...so many names to choose from. Don't know what we're having yet, just guessing at the gender :)

Random Events

Easter came with a random trip to St. George for a couple of days and then home Easter morning... We had a nice day and did Easter baskets...the usual :)

A couple of days later, we had the CRAZIEST snowstorm ever and we made a snowman with the 13 or so inches of snow we recieved (in one night that is!)

(he had a short lived life however)

A couple of days after that, I participated in my firs Tri-athalon ever! It was an amazing experience, the weather was surprisingly nice, and I can't wait to do another! (okay, maybe I can wait a little while)

Before & After

Fabulous Grandparents!

Oh my.... I have really gotten out of the habit of this blogging thing! So the latest bit of excitement at our house is a bit of backyard entertainment.....

My wonderful grandparents just bought a home in Beaver and this was in their yard. They decided that we would get more use out of it than they would, so my sweet grandpa loaded it up in his truck and drove it up. Took the morning setting it up in our back field and drove home. What can I say? I guess it's a bonus to have their only great-grandkids !! Anyway, we have loved it and are so grateful to them for this fun gift :)

Snow, Snow, Snow

Once there was a snowman, snowman.......

This is Tysons new favorite thing to do, and we have had so much snow lately he gets alot of opportunity to build snowmen...our latest addition to the snowman family...Harold! Ty built him with our next door neighbor using our little snowman building kit with the instructions "Just add snow". What a good looking snowman!

I think my wife quit blogging...

I guess I'll throw in a plug...

Christmas - great time! Kids got what they wanted, I got what I wanted, Stacy wanted another kid and those are on backorder at the moment...

New Years - We gave St. George a go this year. Did first night downtown and it was pretty much the most ridiculous thing I've done on a New Years in a long time! However, I will say that the festivities began at 7, and we finally showed at 11. I guess we lost track of time! Everything was up and closed by that time and all that was left was the highschool kiddies running around kissing everything in sight. Still we mananged to snap a few shots, hang with my sister and bro in law and see some fireworks...

They did have this dewhicky where you could text your resolutions to some number and then it would show up on big screens throughout the area. I thought that was entertaining...

I love our new mattress....

Farm Country and girls night out....again?

So I think I have posted about this before, but my kids absolutely LOVE this place...and I am in need of something to update about so here are a few pics of the kids....

Oh, and I went to a girls over nighter in Park City last weekend...love girls night out, and love the girls in my neighborhood, It is such a fun thing that we can get a condo for a night and have so much fun together! We went hottubbing, played games, ate lots of junk food, and did a lot of shopping! I feel like such a better mom when I can get away and play for a night every once in a while....anyway, thanks girlies and thanks honey for taking such good care of the kids!
