Ty's New Love!

Need I say more????

Yeah!

Today I went to meet my newest set of Grand-puppies - they were born July 1st! They were so cute and little! I just sat by their little bed for about a half hour just loving on them and petting them - Dylan really did like them too - and was trying to say puppy! Then after that we went to Lagoon to help celebrate my neice's 6th birthday! It was a lot of fun......really HOT though - like close to 107 hot!

We went over to Pioneer Village - and walked around - we actually dressed up and got our pic's taken! I'll have to scan it on and post it - Ty was a cowboy, I was a bar maid, and Dylan was a little Indian chief!
Here is the birthday girl! Tallie! She had just gotten done riding Wicked - no kiddie rides for her any more!

Say Hello To My Little Friend!

We said Good Bye to Ty's little Nissan - and Hello to my little Pontiac! It was a much needed change. Ty's little car was about dead and needed A LOT of help. So I took it in for a trade in and they gave me what I wanted without test driving it.....he he he! So we ended up getting a AWESOME (as in half of what she is worth!) deal on this 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix! She wears my signiture color of red and fits like a glove!
In other news - if anyone wants apricots I have tons of them......no really I do!

My Little Bear

So life has been a little slow around here - it seems like we were so busy for so long and then BAM - nothing! It's kind of nice....and kind of weird because it feels like I should be doing something. But this next week - things are going to pick up again! We get to see Timber's new puppies that were born this month, then we are going to Lagoon this weekend and then next weekend I am headed (Ty has to work) up to Idaho for my best friend's wedding (and I'm the photographer!) - AND then the next book in the Twilight series is coming out the day after (scream!)! And then it is my 26th (yikes) birthday! Then our 3rd Anniversary.....Which I'm trying to book a hot air ballon ride! <-Ty never checks this blog so he will be surprized! So things are going to be busy...

Any who - this last Sunday Dylan took his first step! Nothing spectacular - but he took it and then fell! I'm so excited for him. It's always nice to see him get to these milestones because it makes me feel like I'm doing my job as a mom! He's becoming such a little boy- I love it!

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Weekend Fun!

So this weekend went by WAY too fast! We had a lot of fun! Ty's brother Phil and sis-in-law Sarah came up from New Mexico - and invited us to go boating with them! It was a great day to be out on the lake - and Ty did pretty good! Showing off his mad skills!
Waiting in the water!
Dylan was a trooper - and even took a nap while we were out! While I got toasted and came home looking like a lobster - it just made his tan deeper! Why can't I have those genetics?
Ty drying off - and looking as cool as ever! ;)
In other news - Dylan is standing up - not walking yet - but standing next to everything!

I forgot to put this on the last post but Timber had another girlfriend over! It was so fun to have her for the weekend! Any ways - her due date is Sep 5th - and we will have pick of the litter!

Last night he had a lot of fun - when our neighbor came over and told us he needed Timber! We looked out side and saw animal control all down our street (at 10pm!) So we took him out - I guess we have a racoon problem! Well - Timber found them and was going CRAZY with the smell! We were hoping to have animal control help us get them out of the tree (Ty was talking hard to get them tazzered, and then make hats out of them!) But they wouldn't do anything other then set traps! No fun! :(

2nd Place!

After a very LONG day Ty's softball team (from work) took 2nd place in the Orem Rec. League! Here is Ty playing 2nd base in the last game of the triple header - by that time they were all sweaty, tierd, and getting hurt!

But they walked home with a trophey and that is all that counts! Yeah for them!

4th of July

This year it has been really fun for us! Here's a little about how we celebrated the 4th of July - it started on Monday when Ty's softball team made it to the semi-finals! It was fun to watch him have so much fun!

Yesturday - we had a full day - Ty ran the 5k! He did great and came in 1053rd! ;) Then we went to the parade that was forever long - but we got great seats in the shade! We went to my sister's bbq - had some brats and then like I mentioned in a previous post - we scored Stadium of Fire tickets. We had decent seats and then someone wanted to trade us so we ended up have great seats 18 rows up from the field!
This is our little family - Dylan didn't look like he was having fun just because it was a stranger taking the pic! Such a booger!
They had sky divers come in! Which was really cool!
They had a great presentation!
And then the fun part! The Blue Man Group was on first! WE loved it! So fun - next time we are in Vegas we are going to go to the whole show!

Then it was Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana! Ty and I didn't really enjoy this part of the show - but everyone else was going crazy! It was like we went into a different world - everyone chantting Miley Miley! Totally crazy! But then after she was done there was a GREAT firework show. Dylan slept through most of it and did great!

Then today we went to the pool and relaxed and got a tan!

This weekend has been a sucess and it's not over yet! Hope everyone else had a great one!

Happy Birthday!

So Dylan turned the big #1 - and we of course had to have the birthday party! Things went really good - the theme was baseball - we had everything baseball - the cake (that I didn't get a picture of), party hats (etc), and I think it ran really smooth! We ended up inviting mostly friends and neighbors, having 2 cakes, and having WAY too much fun! Here is Dylan at the begining of the cake
Half way through!
And they end - He looks like he is about to die! I love it!
This was a quick view of some of the guests! In the end I was so busy that I only had 1 hot dog and about 3 chips! But it was well worth it!
After the party we went to a Orem Owlz game!

AND Ty surprized us by getting Dylan's name up on the score board!

It was a great day - and hard to believe that 1 year has gone by already! It's been so fun to be a mom. OH - at the game we were sitting on a hill and Dylan stood up - with out any help -and not hanging on to anything - just to get a baseball - little booger!

HAND, FOOT, AND MOUTH VIRUS!

So - if you read my last blog I thouht Dylan was teething - WELL - he has still had his fever (making my life.....not too fun!) So I took him into the Dr. today and the Dr. was stumped! Dylan has some sores in the back of his mouth and the fever. Our Doc actually called a Infectious Disease Doc to discuss Dylan's case. He came back with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Virus click here to find out more.
The not so fun thing is that there is nothing they can do to really help me....unless it gets worse! If Dylan still has his fever tomorrow - we go in for blood work! *Cross Fingers* that everything will be ok!

I'm Still Alive.....for now!

Sorry for the lack of blogging - but a lot has been going on. I have found out what it is like to be a mother to 6 kids under the age of 10.....for at least 8 hours of the day. HOW your might ask - WELL - my sister who just got married left on her Honeymoon - I agreed to watch her daughter Haylee (age: 18 months) THEN above mentioned sister also babysits for my other sister SO I took over that as well - thus adding Tristan (10) Tannar (8) Trinity (7) and Talley (5). And let me tell you - if that day really comes that I have 6 kids - I will not be blogging any more.
To tell everyone that it has been easy is a lie. It hasn't been hard either - just busy. Between the screams and cries of "They're not playing with me" to "He/She hit me" to "I'm hungry" Plus trying to keep 2 babies on their schedule - it's enough some days to make me think twice of having any more of my own! AND it hasn't helped that (I think) Dylan is teething and having a fever of 100 - 103 every 4-5 hours (for the past 2 days) THANK YOU to Nicky again for calling - at the right time and telling me to go to the store, get MORE meds, and fight it out. I was about to go to the e.r. - I was that frustrated!
But things will get back to normal soon - Friday is my last day of babysitting duty -and then it is back to normal.....hopefully. I promise to blog more normal blogs - not ranting and ravings of a crazy, burnt out, make-up-less, babysitter!

Come One Come All!

Viva Las Vegas!

So Ty and I got the opportunity to go down to Vegas for the weekend! We did A LOT and it seems like it went by too fast!

We left Friday AM and took our time getting down there. Dylan did great and we all took naps!When we got down there we said Hi to everyone and then went to our hotel to check in. We stayed at the MGM Grand and OH MY GOODNESS - I loved it. The bed was sooooo soft, and we had a HUGE bathroom! I would recommend it to anyone. Right after we got there - we had dinner and then checked out the lion habitat!

The lions were just laying around - but I got this pic of their paws! Big kitty cats! The 2nd day they had the male lion there with his big mane of hair - and I didn't have my camera so no pic of that!

FRIDAY NIGHT - we got to go to Kenny Chesney! YEAH!

We had nice seats - and because of the airlines being late - our babysitter was late and we didn't get to see LeAnn Rimes! BUT we did see Kenny so it was ok!Yeah for me!And here is the hot little body - Kenny himself!

We ended up getting in at 2am and dieing! But Dylan was up at 6AM the next morning!

SATURDAY - We had tons to do and no time to do it in. We had breakfast over at the Luxor - walked around a little - then headed back to our hotel. Got ready and then over to my sister's rental. Everything was going smooth - till the Limo didn't show up and all of us had to jump in what ever car was available and speed down to the chapel! They got married click here for pic's......look for Ty he looks SO FUNNY! ;)

After the ceremony they had a little get together - and then we had to run to our dinner we had planned! We went to the Tournament of Kings! It was a lot of fun eating with our hands, yelling, and watching people get knocked off their horses!

Dylan was really getting into it all!

Traveling with kids is so different! After the dinner was over it was time for Dylan to go to bed - so Ty and I just stayed up and watched movies all night!

SUNDAY AM - Leaving Las Vegas!

We got our pictures!And then headed over to the Hoover Dam! Ty and I hadn't been there before and wanted to see what it was all about! It was so fun!This was our Dam Tour Guide! Hey he said it! Dylan wasn't as excited as we were but he did have fun! If you can't see - Ty is in Nevada, Ryan is in Arizona and Dylan is stuck in the middle!

After this we headed home! It was fun while it lasted but it is nice to be back!

Things That Make Me Smile!

So I thought I would post a couple of things that made me smile. On Ty and I's way home from Lake Powell we stopped to get some grub in a small town (I don't even remember the name) ANY WHO - I get my drink look at the cup.......New for 2005???? Needless to say I don't think they get much traffic through this place! The cup was 3 YEARS old! Crazy huh! Made me smile! Then today I went and picked up my Kenny Chesney Tickets! My friend Chelsea knew someone who had extra's - AND Ty and I are going to be down in Las Vegas for my sister's wedding - AND staying at the same hotel he is playing at - SO when she called and offered them to me....I couldn't say No! ALSO Leann Rimes is opening for him! I Can't Wait! This REALLY makes me happy!

The Stairs

Fun in the Sun

So this weekend we had the opportunity to go down to Lake Powell! Once a year Ty's boss takes down the crew to his House Boat and pays for everything!!! Pretty sweet - the only thing we really had to worry about was snacks and addmission to the park ($15)! How could we say No!? This was the house boat - 75 feet long, 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 3 stories high! It was pretty much amazing! And even though there was close to 30 people - you really couldn't tell!
Dylan didn't really like the water at all! It took him awhile to get use to it - and then he loved it!
Dylan beating me up! :)
Dylan and Daddy chillin on the boat! They took us out wake boarding, surfing, jet skiing, and tubing!

This is the view that we had from our bedroom window! I wouldn't mind wakeing up to that every morning! :)Dylan driving his new car! This was so nice to have - he LOVED it!The red rock was beautiful!
And the company was great! This was everyone on the boat when we went wakeboarding! Ty's boss's wife is the one on the back getting ready to go into the water! She is a mother of 6 and showed up all of us on the wakeboard! ANY WHO - we are home to nurse Ty and I's sunburns and get back to reality - for at least a little! Hope everyone else had a great weekend!
