Bits of Summer

We enjoyed going with my sister and her boyfriend boating last Saturday!
Me and my sis Alisha

I've grown up skiing, tubing, knee boarding, but this was my first time wakeboarding!
Barely got up out of the water, then straghtened out :) Wahoo!!!

My sis jumping the wake! So fun! I tried to go out of the wake, but always would fall.

Goodbye Summer! Oh, how I love you!

Lost Pets/ New Ones

Goodbye Kitty George! A few months ago our kitty ran away :(
So we decided to get new ones! My friend, that gave us the first one, said she had more kittens to give away. The boys were so excited!
Which one, which one...... how about 2!!





Cute Kitties!

The chosen ones:
The black one was a little scared and took a while to warm up.


The gray one, was so calm right at the first, so cute!







The boys chose their names: Iron man (black one)


and Iron Monger!









Where oh where has our little dog gone, oh where oh where can he be?
Our poor little puppy dog ran away a couple weeks ago. We were having him dog watched, at my in-laws, while we went to Lagoon and he pulled himself out of his collar. I think it was just meant to be. He was a bad dog, for the most part. He was taking along time to train and was constantly jumping and biting. What made me even more mad is when he would knock my kids over and chew on them! I'd get so mad at him. Koopa was always digging huge holes in our yard, and, of course, crapping everywhere! It was alot to handle with 2 kitties and a dog, plus my boys, the house work, and everything else. It was getting to be too much! So we were trying to decide if we should get rid of him anyway, but I couldn't do it. I so badly wanted to keep him and have him be a good dog. I thought if we'd give him time, it would change. He was barely 6 months old and we were going to get him fixed to see if that would calm him down, but we didn't even have to worry about it. It is a big relief that he's gone, but at the same time, it's sad.

These pics were taken a couple months ago. He was even bigger than this at 6 months!
The boys keep asking where the dog is, even though I've already told them he ran away. Once Brayden saw the empty backyard he freaked out and said "Where's our dog?!" the other day we were going for a walk and Tyson asked, "Koopa with us?" No sweetie, he ran away.

Goodbye Koopa! Hope you found a good home. And no, we are not getting another dog! Eventually, but not for a while. Phew

Anniversary Weekend!

Brent and I have been married 7 yrs! Our Anniversary was on Sunday the 8th. Brent was nice enough to get me a dozen roses w/ some purple flowers mixed in, my fav. color....... so pretty
On Saturday, we went to Bear Lake for the day to spend some time on the beach with Brent's brother, his wife and kids.

The weather wasn't that great, but we still had fun! Then on Monday we went to Lagoon, just Brent and I. It was our first time riding the Spider and Wicked, so fun! Brent was getting sick and he had to sit down after every ride! I just laughed at him, I guess he's getting old, ha ha ha. We had my Mom watch the boys over night just in case we decided to go back to Lagoon the next day. One day was good enough, so we drove back that night, slept in till 10am! We then went to breakfast and saw a movie, and did a little shopping. It was nice to actually spend some time with Brent :)

Here is the Raiders quilt I had Brent's sister make for his B-day. Cool huh?

Mendon Celebration and a Happy Birthday!

To start off this fun filled day, my sister-in-laws and I ran a 5k race. I was so excited because this was my best 5k I've done. Time: 26 min and 29 sec.
I got 1st place in my age group and was 2nd overall female to finish! My sister in-law got 2nd in our age group :) Ya, we're cool like that.
They had little kiddie races and this was Brayden's first race! He was so excited to run like Mommy. Before the race:
And they're off! Go Brayden! Run Run Run, and stop looking at me, silly
They had to run to the stop sign! next year he'll be 5 so he gets to run to the stop sign and back :) It was so funny to see all the parents running with the kids, cheering them on.
Wahoo, he did it!
He was so proud of himself :)
Fun at the parade
Pony rides
playing on the inflatable toys

Brayden did this one all by himself!
Helping Tyson
Brent played in the Horse Shoe Tournament with his brother. They got 3rd place
Brent is 28 yrs. young today! Happy Birthday Brent! He borrowed Rock Band from one of his friends, so we enjoyed playing that. I've gotta say, I'm pretty good on the drums. (on easy mode) Also got 100% on the singing a couple times, on medium mode. I love this game! Then we went and saw the movie, Despicable Me. Pretty funny and cute! Came home and made a cake, thought I ruined it cuz I put 3 1/3 cups of water, instead of 1 1/3 big difference! I was so mad, but then I added more sugar, flour, another egg and a few other things and it turned out very yummy! We had alot of batter so we made a cake and cupcakes. Mmmmm
I had my sister-in-law make Brent a Raiders quilt for his B-day, to hang up downstairs. I was nervous he was gonna be mad at me, cuz I used the Raiders logo from one of his old coats that he never wore. So the coat is gone, but we have an awesome quilt from it! He actually liked it and didn't mind that we ruined his coat. I'll post pics once I get it hung on the wall.

Bear Lake

We got to go to Bear Lake last week, even though it was for only one night. My family went the weekend of the 24th and every year we spend that Saturday in Mendon enjoying the festivities there. So we got to two fun things in one weekend!
Playing on the beach


Sand and water can keep kids busy for hours!


Brayden, jumping the waves
We stay at my Great Grandpa Lee's cabin. He has past away now, but everyone in the fam takes turns staying at the cabin. The street is even named after our family :) It leads out into a private beach, so only the people that have cabins there can beach there. It still gets way crowded!


My nephew, Chase


My sweet baby niece, Azure. I got to stay back at the cabin to watch her and have Tyson take a nap, while her parents and the rest of their kids played on the beach. Did I ever say I want a girl next? Well, I do!!

We had lots of fun at Bear Lake and hope to visit again soon! Happy Summer everyone!
