Life, Teenagers and Camping

2009-04-07T15:58:00.000-07:00

Sorry I havent updated lately, life has been crazy in our house. My schedual at work changed for the good but i'm still trying to get use to staying longer at the walmart. I now work 9 hours a day to get the weekends off with my family, I go to work at 8p.m. and then get off at 6a.m. but the good thing i only work monday - thursday and have a 3 day weekend.
Sadie turns 13 on the 9th , we let her have a little party over the weekend, she had some friends sleepover then she wanted to take them to the mall. So that saturday after the sleepover we went to South Town mall just us girls, (Danny had wyatt and witnee) all the girls had at least $25-$40. to spend so I thought we would be out early, we got there about 10:15 and left at 2:30 I didnt think we would be there that long. The girls watched some kids take the quarters out of the fountain. They all had fun, after they shopped ( except my girls, they shop like me budget shoppers I think they only spent $10. each) I took them all to lunch. I just cant believe Sadie is a teenager now, Shyan is not that far behind. Does that mean we are getting old?
The girls do so much for me I felt they deserved a day out, they watch witnee for me when it is my turn to go to bed, they try to keep the house clean and they make sure witnee and wyatt eat.
So I should be doing more for them. This is kinda funny when we was at the Mall I called Danny to see what he was doing and Witnee had him out in the trailor watching movies, We pulled it out the week before to start getting it ready for camping, We bought a flat screen t.v. for it which I half to point out I don't have one in the house but needed one for the trailor. Anyways Witnee had to watch the t.v. in there, so Danny had to watch it out there with her.
This weekend as you all know is Easter, it's suppose to rain all week, but my husband has been so ancious to camp I guess we are camping in the rain. We have a generator to help keep the trailor warm and also run the t.v. we will be sitting in there watching t.v and playing games all week. funny.
WE figure, out of everything camping is probably the cheapest thing to do where everything else is going up, we will do alot of that, My kids love to camp so thats okay. We will take the 4wheeler and fishing poles and we will be set. Danny also got a new toy a jeep, from what we was told this jeep is moab ready. so for the hills i guess he will have fun,
I also wanted you all to know I turned off my house phone, I figured all of us except for witnee had a cell phone what was the need for the house phone, we use the cells more then the house one so I eliminated that bill. I'll get you all the number shortly.

Animal Crazy

2008-10-22T16:17:00.001-07:00

Most of you know that my dog is blind, So here is a cute story for you. Witnee loves buster this is her dog, she gets mad at him because he wont play chase, I half to reminde her that he is blind, Anyways She decided that he was her baby she put him in the stroller and made sure

he was buckled in, she pushed him around forever. after a few hours she left him there and he started yelping I told her that she needed to get him out, She said mom buster is blind he needs to stay there. I had a pict but cant find it of the dog asleep in the stroller. Poor dumb blind thing, but it's good that he is loved. Danny got a lab for the duck hunts and is training him with a thing called a dummy witnee thought she needed one for buster, she says she is training buster, She is funny, she can honestly say that buster is hers, she feeds him and she plays with him. she also makes Danny give him loves at night. I just laugh, Nan thought she needed her own dog that lasted about three weeks then I was done, Nan is too involved with softball and her friends, so I made her sale the poor puppie he wasnt getting the attention he needed. I felt bad but it was best for the dog and Nana. She made some money so it made her feel a little better. The things we do for our kids.

Still Halloween

2008-10-21T04:52:00.000-07:00

I did another post Halloween Party, that is part of this I just wanted to add more cute picts.

Danny holding Gracie, Then Sadie and Tanner playing a game .

Halloween Party

2008-10-20T19:32:00.000-07:00

So, The last 3 years I have done a Halloween Party for the kids. I invite all the neices and nephews. his year I let the kids invite some friends too. I make lunch and have goodies then we play a few games, The kids like it they get to wear their costumes and just have fun. I also enjoy it because I get to see them all in their cute costumes.

I did things a little diffrent this year, I split the younger group from the older group, The older ones wanted to have their friends and cousins over to watch scary movies. The funnie thing is Danny and I Was sitting up stairs and heard the

Scarry music Danny decided to scare the girls even more by hammering on the window, it was pretty funny. Well Gracie was a cute pumpkin, Wyatt was a scream, Parker was sharpae? One of the twins was a bratt bat, the other was a witch, Witnee was a Duck, Tanner was a clone

Shyan was a punk pirate, Sadie was a gothic fairy, I cant remeber what all the friend where. It was alot of fun. I enjoy doing it, we was missing some of the cousins this year but maby they will make next years. I hope all the kids had fun and I hope they all have a safe Halloween!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Little Things

2008-10-15T09:21:00.000-07:00

So, little Witnee decided that she needed to help me make cookies, except I think the dough ended up in her mouth then on the cookie sheet. She's a little turd. All the kids had to do their part with pouring in the ingredients. It's kinda funny when I go to make something either one or all of them think they need to help every time even if it's just Mac and Cheese.

With how the world is going I am glad that the little things can make them happy. Kids are funny.

The Hunt

2008-09-25T11:06:00.000-07:00

So Mike and Justin talked my husband into going on the hunt with them this year. They asked every year but Danny never went until know. Now you all half to know how big of hunters Mike, Justin, and my Dad are, they stay for a week or longer then they come home for a few days and then go back out. Well it's only day 2 and I am haveing a hard time sleeping at night, Danny has never left us for longer then a night. So this is all new to me.
Jodi and Trina laugh at me cuz I half to keep texting him. They keep telling me I'll get use to it. It's just hard, he is usually here when I am. We do, do things alone but not ever this long. So me and the kids went into Jodi's last night and Jodi did my hair for me, she colored it,cut,and thinned it out for me, The girls wanted streaks in their hair so Jod put some in their hair. Trina came and brought Dinner so we all just hung out. It was fun!! Thanks Guys for keeping me busy I Love you both

So Jodi tagged me for the embarrising thing that I haven't wanted to admit to Well I thought about it and it was hard, so I would half to say I love the Candy Corns that are mixed with the pumpkins. In know they have candy corns in little packs all the time but they are not the same as the ones that come out with the pumpkins. So the only time I eat them is durring the fall when they have the pumpkins in them. Weird I know. Also the other thing is I love Scooby Doo cartoons. The only reason I admited to two is because they was tied, so I figured I would come clean. At least it's not a maverick corn dog!! J/K jodi.

Disneyland

2008-07-26T17:13:00.001-07:00

I know that this is way late, bou in March we took our kids to Disneyland , with Danny's brother and his family. My older girls loved the California screeming, Now Nana loved the Tower of Terror she's my little dare devil, out of my family she was the only one to ride that.

We was there for 3 days and 4 nights. The weahter was great the high was 76. not to hot but not to cold. The kids were able to swim and go to Disneyland, This was our first real family trip. It was fun just to see the kids so excited to be there. I think that was the funnest part for Danny and I. With the economy being the way it is anymore you need to live for your family, you need to have the fun now because it's just the beginning.

Sandi and the kid's got in the dog pound in ToonTown. It was a cute picture.

Danny and I took our turn sitting off with witnee. I made sure I was able to sitoff all the water rides,Wit wasn't able to ride those ones, she wasn't big enough yet. Like the saying says " Live for Today not Tomorrow because you never know when Tomorrow will never come." My family is my life!! I Love All of them, My kids, My Husband, My sets of Parents, My sisters, & My Brothers(Trina & Justin are concidered my sister and brother) I Love Them All!!!!!!!

2008-07-26T16:52:00.000-07:00

So We bought a home with the back yard sloped , Danny brought the Mini-X home to level the yard out. The kids thought it was cool to see what dad does all day at work. Even though this is'nt what he runs all day the kids thought it was still neat to have a ride with dad.

Danny's boss is a way nice guy, he only let's certain people bring equipment home to use. We had to pull out rose bushes on the side of the house to get the Mini into the back.

After we was done, we had a shed put on the side of the house. It's still a work in progress but it's comeing along. The only picture I don't have is sadie, she thought she was too big to ride with dad.

What A Great 4th

2008-07-11T14:56:00.000-07:00

Nice view, Trina was letting Gracie get her little piggys wet, she just didn't like it. Shy, Parker and Wyatt played in the water to cool off. Let me tell you that Wyatt is such the trooper he did not feel well the whole weekend but just did not want to leave, everytime we mentioned it he would start to cry he wanted to camp.

Wendy also played in the water with the kids.I think at one point in thime we all was in the water.

Don't the girls look like they are enjoying themselves, Parker, Shy and one of the twins ( what a good Aunt I couldn't tell you which one she is) posed for the camera. Here Jodi is kicking it in her chair, We had a great spot. It was nice to just relax and hang out and visit.

Danny, The kids, and I always get up early for the parade. We make sure we get to our faveorite spot before anyone else, then we wait for 2 hours for the parade begins, We do the wake up call for the familys ( a little tradition). Good job wend, she got asked to hand out water to the runners, Parker and Oakley did to.

Never,Never leave your camera laying around this is what you get, Thanks Trina!!

What a sight, Mike could you not wait !! We had lots of fun this weekend. I started out at Grantsville Dam and then moved to Vernon, We missed Tony and Sandi, But all My sisters and brother was there it was great time.

The guys' went out swimming and just sat out there laughing, at what we don't know, us girls just sat on the side thinking they was nuts but that's not saying much for my family we are nuts!!

Vacation

2008-06-24T14:56:00.001-07:00

We went to Yellowstone for Danny's Family Reunion, The family went in on one big Cabin, we had a fun time. The scenery was just beautiful. In the cabin there was a hot tub, Lacie and Shy had just got out and thought they had to go through the junk food. This is the Saphire Pool, That was my favorite, it was neat to see.

Here we sat for 45 minutes to see Old Faithful, a ranger gave this huge lecture on how gysers came about, Faithful was neat but I thought it should have lasted a little longer.
we seen alot of Bisons' The kids' all asked what a bison was? some didn't believe it was the buffalo.

We also had a Pool Table in the cabin, So Witnee had to have her turn. The guys' and the kids all had fun playing pool. It kept them entertained for hours. The Cabin slept 30 people, It was great fun! Idaho was Beautiful, I would live down there, except for in the winter. we did'nt see lots of bears, so we went to Bear world and seen Baby cubs, and rode the little rides. The kid's had alot of fun, And spent alot of money on suvineres. But the company was good. The Reunion was real fun.

Weekend of Camping

2008-06-02T15:49:00.000-07:00

Look there is that just a sight! There was some elk on the side of the hill the guys could not keep their eye's off of.

Okay here we go! First I want to thank Trina, she is sooo wonderful!
We had alot of fun this weekend, the weather was great! We also had good company, Mike and Trina, Justin and Jodi, Russ and Wendy eventhough they did'nt stay the whole time. We also had an unexpected camper Dad and Donna showed up Friday night late. Danny, Justin and Jodi was sitting by the fire around 10:30 p.m. I was putting the kids to bed when A guy came and told them to quiet down, to our supprise it was Dad. Justin had called the whole family while he was in Spain and planned this camp trip. It was well worth it. the kids had fun on the horses, and playing in the creek. Trina rode a horse for the first time.
