Welcome to Loserville!!

Ok. So I am a loser. I said that I was going to start regular posting. I didn't. I am going to try though. So- busy busy. That's me. We have had so much going on. I am ready to update though. School is out and almost back in. We have had a great summer so far though. Yea us. We went to Bear Lake with the Fuss Fam. Always a fun time. We have gone up to our cabin a couple times. We went up this last weekend for the holiday. Riley decided that there wasn't nearly enough excitement and cut her head open. She ended up getting 3 stitches in it. Sheesh. Over all though we have had a great summer. Trent is still loving Detectives. He is kept pretty busy. We have have our trip all planned out for Mexico. The kids are already so excited. Who am I kidding? So am I. I'm just keepin' on. I am teaching primary and I love it. They are the cutest kids. Ty and Riley are just doing their thing. So. More updates to come n

My Goodness...

Can you believe it is March? Where has the time gone! We have been doing great! Dare I say it out loud? Tyson has been playing basketball and is doing so awesome! Riley is just being Riley! She is still tumbling and can now throw her back handspring on the floor alone! She is really good! Trent is in Detectives now and is loving it! It is really nice that he is having normal hours! And a really hot car! Hee HEe! Life has really just been chugging along. Tyson was baptized in February and it was great! I cried and cried! In fact - I am still pretty much crying! It was so nice! I can't even believe how many people came! I have a really great ward! I love them! I have made some really great friends in our neighborhood! It is really a lot of fun! We went to Mexico in February with my parents! We had the best time! I will post some pictures later! And they will be awesome! Because I am awesome - of course! I would like to give a little shout out to my brother! Hi Bud! I am doing this in hopes that he will send me a picture of my darling niece, Andy! So - pics to come! Tah Dah! I am sure that will excite all of you readers!

Pics

Ok - So it has taken me a couple of weeks but..... Ta Dah! Let me just tell you! Polar Express in the Grand Canyon in so awesome. It was a really long drive, but totally worth it. I will just show you all the pics and then you will know how awesome it was...I have so many more to show. I will tell you a little about how it works. You get on the drain and it goes to the North Pole. While you are on your way they hand out hot chocolate and cookies while the conductor reads The Polar Express. Then when you get to the North Pole, Santa comes aboard and gives all of the kids a bell. I had the best time. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone and everyone! It was magical!

Can You Hear The Bell Ring?

Ok - So I am so stinking excited! We are hitting the road tomorrow morning at 6:00 am! That's right folks - 6:00 in the morning! To go where you ask?? None other the the Polar Express in the Grand Canyon! I don't know who is more excited the kids or me! Yay! So it is a 8 hour drive! Yeah - we are going with a 5 year old and an 8 year old on an 8 hour drive and it is going to be AWESOME! Yeah! Dare I say... Awesome Blossom! Yes I do! You know something that is 1000 calories and 75 grams of fat is awesome!! So I will make sure that I take TONS of pics to show of the GRAND time... Yeah that pun was totally intended! Let me give you a little run down of the plans that we have...

Getting up...
Driving...
I am sure we will have to make a few potty stops...
Arive at our destentation...
Eat...
Look around...

Ok... I am bored! I will have to tell you all about it when we get home!

In other news...

If you can even believe it, everyone at our house is healthy. I could hear the gasps! I know! I am totally shocked myself. I am a little scared to brag about it though... So read the first part of this paragraph in a whisper! Tyson and Riley are both doing really well in school. They have been making their Christmas lists! Yikes! Really - what happened to the days when boys wanted Train Sets and girls wanted Dolls. I am thinking that I am going to have to call Hermie and ask him to swing by with something from "The Island of Misfit Toys" that is seriously what I can afford. Maybe a Spotted Elephant or a Charlie in the Box! Ok... I was going to put a picture of "Charlie in the Box" here - It won't let me!

Trent is doing great! Work is keeping him really busy! Poor guy. I tell you what though. Since his surgery, he is doing great! Maybe it is because he can breath... Maybe - Really I think that he is happy that I have put a little weight on... He always tells me that he likes a little Junk in the Trunk! Ok, I made that last part up. He is better though!

I am doing Thooper Dooper good! If my family is good, I am good!

I look forward to coming home from our vacation and posting all about it!

H1NWhat???

Yeah that's right! Trent has the Swine Flu - Ha - insert Cop jokes here!!! It has been the worst thing that I have seen. He has been sick for a week and now to top that all off... He has bronchitis. I thought that I was going to have to make a run for the ER last night! He seems to be feeling a lot better this morning! The kids Dr put Tyson on Tamaflu, but Riley and I are just going to have to take the chance of getting it I guess! I think that it is because the girls in my family are way tougher then the boys!

This past weekend the kidos and I put up the Halloween decorations! It was so fun! They were so excited! OK - So was I! I can't help it! I love decorating! Yesterday my Pop-in-law brought me over some pumpkins and a bail of straw - They look so cute! I will make sure to post some pics later!

IN other news! I put the last box away on Sunday! Tahhh Dahhh! It is true! It only took 2 months. I personally feel that is an awesome amount of time! Yay me! So, now I just have to get my big mirror and big pics hung and I am pretty much set - oh yeah - I need to get a garbage can for my downstairs bathroom! Then I will be almost!

I would also like to take this chance to give a shout out to my Little Bro - Jon! Just got an announcement in the mail! I have to say that my cute new niece Andy is an absolute doll! Well - she sure looks a lot like me!

Riley had a soccer game on Saturday and scored 2 goals! She is awesome! I would love to take credit for her awesome soccer playing abilities... but... anybody who saw me play soccer a few years would argue the point I am sure! To them I would just like to say that I was just giving the opposing team a fair chance! Gosh!

Well that is about it for now! I will get the super scary pics of my Halloween house posted ASAP!

Ok - I am just learning - sooo!

Here are a few pics!

Ok! So it has been a while! Here goes! I don't even know the last thing that was going on when I started this BLOG - So! We just got a new house in Syracuse and I am loving it! Finally a place where my kids can play outside - on sidewalks - with other kids! It is great! I am still at good old Roy City! I really am lucky to have a good job - considering all that is going on now days! Trent always says the same! I think that being a Police Officer would be exhausting - that is just me though! I just don't think that I could deal with DA's all day long! The kids are getting so big. Tyson is in 3rd grade and Riley started Kindergarten. I cried like a baby when I dropped her off the first day - I couldn't decide if it was because I was sad that my baby is in Kindergarten or if I was sad that she was "K C-ya Bye"! I am guessing that it is just a little of both. I am really going to try to get some pictures on here! I just took a whole bunch of the kids - I am just not exactly sure how to load them. I am also hoping to get some pics of the house on here! I will soon - I swear! I hope that everyone still checks this once in a while just to see if I have done anything! Love you all!
