Daddy's Boots and House Update

This is post has many pictures and is long. I need to post more often so they are not as long. The other day Little A. put was putting his daddy's boots. It was so fun and cute. I could not get him to sand still so all the pictures are a little blurry. The other picture is of a rose bush that my hubby gave me for V-day a few years ago. It bloomed many time and then the last year or so nothing has happened so we gave up on it and put it out side and now it has roses again.

So I have been a slacker at updating about the house. Last week they sprayed the insulation though out the house. We have three different types in the house. I did not know that there were so many different types. The bright yellow is just the stuff you roll in, in big bats, the stuff on the wall the put a fabric up and then spray in the insulation, and last is the stuff in the ceiling it is a liquid and then it grows into a foam. It is crazy.
Sheetrock came next. They are still hanging it and they have started to tape it too. From what I understand it is quit a process. Here is little A in his bedroom and 2 other pictures of it. Yes he is sitting on a microwave, it belongs to the sheet rockers.

Front Door and hallway.

The one with Little A in the spare room the one below it is the entry way. The other 2 are where the desk goes and the kitchen.

First top one is the living room. There is a picture of Little A and my hubby in the Laundry Room. We have also put Tyvek on the outside of the house.

Corn on the Cob

Little A loves corn so much. He has had corn on the cob a few times. Last night we had it for dinner and I got the biggest kick out of him and how intense he was when he was eating it. This boy is serious about his food.

Uncle Z and Aunt K wedding

Yesterday My Hubby's little bro got married in the Logan Temple. It was a great day. Uncle Z and Aunt K were so happy and looked for perfect. Little A loves Uncle Z his name was one of his first words. Below is a picture of my Hubby and his bro and 2 sisters there are such a cute group. The wedding was so nice and such a spiritual experience. They are a awesome couple and we are so exited to have Aunt K in our family.

Little A loved playing under the big pine trees at the temple. Uncle Z took Little A binkie and he was digging in Uncle Z pocket to try to find it.
All I can say is what a cute family!
We got picture with all the grandkids and their great-grandmas. Neither are perfect but what can you ask for with 7 little kids. The first picture is Grandma Millgate and the second is Grandma Johnson. The open house was at Aunt K mom and dad's house. They have a amazing back yard.

Uncle Z and Aunt K we love you and wish you the best in life. Thanks for letting us spend the day with you and celebrate with you.

Dino Park and Zoo!

Both of my sister beat me getting this on my blog so if you follow them too you have seen many of these pictures and read about them.

Last week we had a lot of fun. My mom, sister K, and I headed down to Dino Park with the kids. They had a great time. Little A just did not get why he had to ride in the stroller while the other kids got to walk. The first group picture is taken in the same spot that we have a pictures of the grandkids 8 years ago. Lets just say there has been a lot of change since then. The day was really hot so the kids took a break in the shade of the dino. To get out of the heat we went into the the education center where there was a lot of fun activities for the children.

Cousin H asked me to take his picture by his favorite dino the Utah Raptor. The kids had a lot of fun getting there pictures taken with all the different dinos and in the picture cut outs.
Two days after that we all loaded up again and headed down to SLC to the Zoo. Little A loved everything. He is in love with animals right now so this was amazing to him. We took a train ride, played at the playground, feed the ducks, and saw many animals.

Cousin R&R decided that they wanted to be spiders at the playground and the big cousin R tried to show Little A how to be a turtle but he was not interested in that. He just wanted to go down the slide over and over.

Man's Best Friend

About 2 years ago, my hubby decided that he needed to add another dog to our family. He Loved Gunner and he was a great dog so he wanted him to be able to help train a new dog (Tuck). About a week ago Gunner (one on the left) got sick and stopped eating. He is a 14 year old dog so we knew that it was coming soon. Any way this week we have been feeding him cat food with a spoon and pedialite with a syringe. This morning he died. It is like a member of our family is gone. He has been my hubby's dog for 14 years he has been a part of his life longer than I have. Tonight we buried him at our new house. We will miss this great dog.

Happy B-day Dad

So before I start I have to tell you that my Internet has not been working for a few days so this post is a few days old. Also I am not sure what it going on with my camera but most every picture I take is blurry.

My dad is an awesome father and grandfather. We had a great time celebrating his big day. The grandkids were so excited about his cake that they blew out the candles before he had a chance. He got a lot of stuff but one of his favorite was the air soft gun. There are really big with the boys in the family right now.

Kim asked me not to put this picture on here but it is so funny I just had to. Shea was scratching his head on her back even though it looks like he was snuggling in during the singing of happy b-day.

Ryker wears these funny boots when he washes the trucks at the shop. I just had to take a picture of them and then he told my that that picture better make the blog.

Sewing Fun!

My sister asked me to do a sewing class for their two oldest daughters. I love sewing so I thought why not. I decided that bean bags would be easy and a fun first project. They were both so serious for the first hour but after Reg. sat of the old chair and broke it they got a little silly. At the end they decided that they wanted to come back and learn more. Next week they think they will be ready to make a pillow case. We talked about what else they would want to make and Tay want to sew a quilt and Reg was not sure. They both were so fun and worked so hard. Their moms both said that they were so excited for more and Tay is working to earn a sewing machine.

Bear Lake FUN!!!

This past weekend my family headed up to Bear Lake to enjoy all the festivities of Raspberry Days. This has been a family tradition for as long as I can remember. There is no other place on the earth that our family can come and have fun together and relax. We spent a lot of time at the beach. Little A did not like having to wear his life jacket while at the beach. Every time we are at the lake my dad is found sleeping like in the picture below. It was funny because all the sister had to take a picture so you may see it on all three of our blogs.

Little A attended his first Rodeo. He loved seeing all the animals and being outside. I love the picture of Little A boy cousins. They all have the cutest personalities as you can tell Grandpa does not egg them on at all. On Saturday many of us took part in the 5k race. It was so fun because my Uncle Wade from Washington State was there along with 2 of his daughters (the other one in prego so we excused her from being there) and his son and son-in-law. Ryker, Lance, Jeff, Kim, Shea, Hunter and I all ran it from my family. It was a lot harder race than the one I ran last week. I am still feeling it in my legs.
One of my favorite things about the weekend is getting to be in the parade. The Grandkids look forward to this all year. I was worried about how little A about be. He loved it I think that he tossed a whole bag of candy. This year Lance gave us extra entertainment by singing Christmas songs to us though the race. The theme was Fun in the Bear Lake Sun, so the kids got to sit of blow ups during the parade.

Here are picture of the Grandkids and then one of the Whole family (minus Shea and Adam they were both home working).

Thanks mom and dad for starting this tradition many years ago and providing us the opportunity to let our children to be a part of it too.
