Weeds, Dirt and Rocks!

While we were camping last weekend, Oakley went to a part of the campground where the weeds were really tall. He sat in the middle of them and just played. He was there forever. He sat down and played in the dirt. What a boy! Here are some really cute pictures that we took of him. He had so much fun sitting in the dirt!

Oakley's Birthday Party

We celebrated Oakley's Second Birthday on Tuesday, May 27th. We had it outside and had cake and ice-cream. He had a fun time and I just want to thank everyone who came and supported him! Here are some pictures of his party. Can you tell that he likes Cars just a bit?




Memorial Day Weekend.

Over the weekend, we went camping with Mom, Dad, Uncle John, Aunt Shirley, The Taylor's, and the Christensen's AND families! It was the start of the summer like usual. We went up to Spanish River Park to camp. Yes I know. It is so close to home but still in the canyon! (yes 9 miles from my driveway!) Can't beat that! So we get all ready to go camping and it starts to rain. Yay! let me tell you fun. We got up to the canyon and started getting ready. Oakley wanted to play with his 'Choo-Choo' and do nothing else. He had his car and choo-choo by his side the whole weekend. We got the tent up and ready for us to sleep in. When it was time for bed it was WAY cold. I had a heater in the tent to keep us warm.. No it did not work to swell!

Saturday morning, we got up and ate breakfast.. Famous breakfast burritos. Sorry, Trent you missed out! We thought of you while we were eating them! So the day went pretty good. Oakley and I came home to sleep for a nap! Harley stayed up the canyon and played with all the kids. She loves playing with them. Saturday night came and went. Sunday, we again got up and had breakfast and then came home again to take our naps. Harley went fishing with Papa and Trey. When we got up to the canyon on Sunday, Oakley and Trey played with the cars and swords. They had so much fun and gave us some amazing entertainment! Here are some pictures from the weekend.. Hope you enjoy!





Harley Graduation

I know I have been a slacker when it comes to posting... So here goes, you are going to get alot of them tonight! First off, Harley graduated from Pre-school and here are some pictures of her graduation program!



Harley had a fun time in pre-school and did not want summer to begin. She is still asking if it is a day that she can go and see Mrs. Shephard. I have to tell her daily that it is not and school it out. She said to me the other day that she wants to go and see her weekly and see how she is doing. Thank you MRS. SHEPHARD!

HiGh ScHoOl TaG

I have seen this on a couple people's blogs and figured what the heck, I would do it!

1. If you could go back and tell your teenage self one thing, what would it be?
Have fun in High School, take some college classes or at least start cosmo school in high school and finish. That way when you are 26 and a single mom you are not going back to school!

2. Did you do any extra curricular activities in high school?

I was the basketball manager through out high school and worked.

3. What did you do with your free time?

Spent a lot of time with Jamie. Went to the basketball games and worked.

4. Coolest thing you did as a teenager.

Um nothing!?

5. Did you have a boyfriend in high school?

I did my sophomore year, a kid from Kamas.. woohoo fun!

6. Songs that come to mind:

Songs, or groups! NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Celine Dion, Jewel, Faith, Tim, 311....

7. If you could change one thing, what would it be?

Have more fun. Go to school more, take college classes, whoa thats more than one!

8. What did you think you would be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a teacher, and a mom..

9. Picture of self.

haha FUNNY!

10. Craziest thing you did in high school.
I was not a crazy person in high school. I kept to myself and hung out with my little group of friends.. maybe meeting all the crazies on main! lol


I tag: Emily, Sean, Michelle, Shari, Bre, Lauren, Emily, Emily and anyone I forgot!

2 Years!

Oakley is 2! Yay!

Okay, so for this weeks flashback, I thought it would be fun to post this picture. It was our first grade picture at Park Elementary. Miss Jordan was our teacher. Well the story behind this picture... If you look close, Brandon on the second row has his mouth open. Yes, wide open. This is one of those MOMENT shots! Well, Brandon puked all over right after the picture was taken. Poor Mandy, I still feel bad for her. I will never forget this picture and day. Sad but Funny...

Its a Potato Bug!

Harley has this thing with Potato bugs. If she sees one, she has to pick it up so that no one will kill it. We were taking pictures of Oakley and she found one. He wanted to grab it and take it away from her. This is of her showing him that it curls up and will crawl all over you.

David vs. David

I just wanted to say, GO DAVID.. I want to see someone from good old Utah win!

Family Pictures

On Mother's Day we went and took some family pictures. Here are some of all of our families. I don't have one of the whole family but I will post that later! We went to Canyon View park. It was nice weather and the kids loved to go up and down the stairs.

Mom and Dad
(Happily Married 29 yrs! 3 kids, 2 daughter in-laws and
3 grandkids!)

Tiffany, Harley and Oakley
(It is hard to get both of my kids to smile at the same
time. You get one to smile and the other one
is staring off in the distance!)

Trent, Emily and Erika
(look at Erika, She was laughing and would not stop
it was so cute to watch her laugh!)

Tyson and Lauren
(I was putting these pictures up and someone at work
asked me if that was Heath Ledger, I laughed and
told her is was my lil bro!)

Birthday pics

Oakley's 2nd Birthday is coming up and I needed to get some pictures of him for an invitation. Here are some pics. My favorite is the one with the Pepsi can, even though he does have a dirty shirt! I will post more with the invite at a later date!





Harley wanted to join the pic!
