A DAY IN THE DIRT

CHRISTMAS

2011-01-08T19:23:00.000-08:00

Our Christmas this year was one of the best. We did so much celebrating, I could hardly see straight by the time the day came. It is always so much fun to see the reaction on our sweet little minnies faces. Especially Ren this year, he was so dang cute to watch how excited he was. He gets overly excited lately about almost anything. So Christmas morn was especially exciting this year with his sweet spirit around. It always is so amazing to see each year how much each child changes. Aspyn and Ronin are getting to the pre-teenage years. It is exciting, but also extremely scary. They are not asking for the cute stuffed animals anymore, it brings a whole new dimension to Christmas and "Santa". For the most part, I think it was again a success but glad to have it all over with. I am a very scheduled person, so to get things back under control makes me a little more sane.

THANKS TIFF! YOU TRUELY ARE... A ONE OF A KIND!

Steel Days

2010-07-17T14:58:00.000-07:00

I guess since we got free carni tickets from AF city, and Andy had to work at the parade, we might as well go! The kids loved every second of it. We got to sit right at the intersection that Andy was working, so that made it that much more fun!

My "Special" Olympian

2010-07-17T14:42:00.000-07:00

I know I say this every year, but this is seriously one of my favorite things to do in May! It is just so much fun to see how excited they get over the smallest things. He did not care if he was 10th place or 1st. He was just excited to get a hug from Miss Orem. We always love his forrest gump braces on his legs too. He did so awesome this year, and got to go out to lunch at Brick Oven with his family 2 days in a row. Can't even say how much I love this kid, and how much he has blessed our fam! Love you Honks!

Officer Farrer...It's Official

2010-07-17T14:29:00.000-07:00

Well, we finally made the career change at 33. It went better than I had expected. Can I just tell you how much he LOVES his new job. He says he works with some of the most awesome guys, and feels like he is finally in the right field for his personality. I think he really likes doing this because it resembles the military a little. He loved being in the marines, but it was just to hard with a family! So, I guess we will see where this takes us. For now, slow down through AF or you'll have Officer Farrer to deal with! HA

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LOVER

2010-03-30T08:03:00.000-07:00

TODAY IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLES BIRTHDAY. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE. HOPE ALL YOUR BIRTHDAY WISHES COME TRUE.

My Little Tumbler

2010-03-29T17:08:00.000-07:00

Aspyn has been doing tumbling for a while now, and just had another meet on Saturday. She is doing so well, and I hope she continues to stick to it.

Cousin sleepover

2010-03-29T16:55:00.000-07:00

Since my sister doesn't live here, she decided when she came this winter that we would do a sleepover with all the girl cousins for Kate and Hannah. We took 8 little girls plus Renner, and went to Jungle Jim's for a playdate, and then headed over to Nana's house for a slumber party. It was so much fun, and all the kids had a hayday. They were all really really good, and loved every minute of being together.

Patriotic Program

2010-03-29T16:47:00.000-07:00

Aspyn had a patriotic program last month and did such a good job. She is my little performer, so this was perfect for her. Love you Sis!

Never to old for a party

2010-03-29T16:21:00.000-07:00

Christopher just turned 24, and it is the big debate where to have his birthday party. The boy just has a place in his heart for Chucky Cheese. Even though he is now "24", he just begs to go there. So, we decided we would try Pirate Island this year, and he loved it. All the grandkids loved it too, so it was a success for everyone. Poor Dad just got diagnosed with Bell's palsy, so the eye patch was not in celebration of Pirate Island. We had such a good time, and always look forward to doing something special for the special little man in our lives. Love that kid!!

Benny & Chris

Awkward Stage

2010-03-29T16:09:00.000-07:00

So we have hit that awkward stage with the totally jacked up teeth. I know we all go through it, but it just seems so much worse when you see your kids with it. Aspyn had to get 4 teeth pulled before she could even get her braces on. The poor girl has had such bad luck with teeth in her 10 years of life. Hopefully all this pain with be worth her beauty. I told her, beauty comes at a painful cost. :)

RENNERS EYE SURGERY

NEW YEARS EVE

2010-01-06T17:25:00.000-08:00

WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT A BON FIRE IN THE BACKYARD WOULD BE SOMETHING TO DO FOR NEW YEARS IN SNOWY UTAH! WE HAD OVER ALL OUR FRIENDS, AND IT WAS SUCH A BLAST. WE STAYED OUT TIL 2:30 IN THE MORNING, AND HAD TO FINALLY MAKE EVERYONE COME IN. I HAVE TO GIVE ANDY ALL THE CREDIT, IT WAS ALL HIS IDEA. HE USED HIS TRACKHOES TO DIG OUT ALL THE SNOW, AND THEN DUG UP DRY SAND AND PUT IT ALL OVER SO OUR FEET WOULD NOT BE WET. THEN HE GOT TONZ OF WOOD STUMPS AND MADE A HUGE FIRE. IT WAS SO WARM, AND I DONT THINK ANYONE WAS EVEN COLD AT ALL. THE KIDS SLEDDED DOWN THE HILLS IN OUR BACKYARD, AND ANDY EVEN MADE THEM A HUGE JUMP TO HIT AT THE BOTTOM. I THINK ALL THE KIDS HAD A HAYDAY SLEDDING ALL NIGHT, WHILE THE ADULTS HUNG OUT BY THE FIRE. I THINK EVERYONE HAD SUCH A BLAST, AND WE MIGHT JUST HAVE TO MAKE THIS A TRADITION EVERY YEAR.

Christmas

2009-12-29T19:55:00.000-08:00

Christmas this year was so much fun. My kids are just at the best ages, and seem to make the holiday so much better. I think everyone got just about everything they asked for, and maybe a little bit more. It always seems to be so busy, but we try to enjoy every minute of it, because its always over way to soon. Even though Aspyn was a little doubtful this year, we told her, "You have to believe to receive".

White Elephant Party

2009-12-29T18:37:00.000-08:00

We had a white elephant party at our house this year before Christmas with a few our closest friends. We had SO much fun, and loved every minute of Jesse's sweet Christmas sweater. He always pleases us with his creativity. We got some pretty amazing gifts, and loved hanging out with my besties for the night!

1st Day of School

2009-09-15T14:03:00.001-07:00

It's time for football

2009-09-15T13:52:00.000-07:00

Ronin has started football again this season. He has been loving it so much more this year than last. He is finally getting the game down, and always gives it his best everyday. He is such a little stud, and we are so proud of him for the hard work he gives all week long (even when he really wants to play with his friends instead)! He ran the first touchdown of the season in the first game. I was such a proud mama!

Tree House

2009-09-15T13:22:00.001-07:00

Jay and Kim came into town last weekend, and Jay was so insistent on building a new tree house for my kids. We do have the perfect tree for it, but Andy has been SO busy with school this summer and work that he has not had time to do it. So Sunday night before Labor Day, we were sitting in the backyard hanging out, and Jay said lets go get some wood right now and bust this thing out. So Andy, Jay and Kory all went down to Home Depot and bought the stuff. They worked on it all night, and then again on Monday and got it finished up. Can I just say my kids were in HEAVEN, and still are. They are loving every second of it. Now they said all they need is a roof on it with a heater so they can still play out in it for the winter. Maybe soon! Thanks boys for making it for the kids. Or should I say making it for me ( Kids are finally out of my hair)!!

So "SPECIAL"

2009-06-10T14:32:00.000-07:00

My little brother Chris was in the special olympics last week. Can I just say that I look so forward to this all year long. I know he does too, he can't stop talking about it. It is just so fun to see them come to life, and do all that they can do, even if they don't even come close to winning. He took the gold in the shot put and was sooooo excited about it. They also took the gold in the 400m relay. But when it comes to him running on his own, he came in dead last. He could care less, he is there for the fans, and the fans only. He ran a slow jog and just waved and waved and blew kisses the entire time. He had the hugest smile the entire time. I love to see him when he feels like he is on top of the world. He's is literally SOOOO SPECIAL in our fam, we couldn't love him more.

Memorial Day

2009-06-10T14:12:00.001-07:00

Usually we don't do much for Memorial Day, but this year Melinda invited us to a Memorial Day service that they were honoring Clayton at. They had made a memorial for he and Linder (the other guy who died with him). It turned out so awesome, and it is somewhere that people can go visit to honor them. It was a full afternoon of a service, and they even had a real apache there for the kids to sit on and look at. Its such a sad thing that happened to him, but good that they are still doing things to honor him almost 2 years later.

HOUSE WARMING PARTY

2009-05-14T20:13:00.001-07:00

SPRING BREAK IN ST. GEORGE

2009-05-14T19:57:00.000-07:00

2009-05-14T19:31:00.000-07:00

This is what happens when you leave your 10 year old daughter in charge. He is going to kill me when he gets older. I just hope his Dad never sees this picture. I'll never hear the end of it. But we love having our Aspyn around to help out. She really is such a good sitter, I couldn't ask for better. Love ya sissy!

OUR SWEET GUYS BLESSING

2009-05-14T19:10:00.001-07:00

Well, Renner is only almost 7 months old, so we thought we had better bless him before he started walking.... haha. The funny thing is, all 3 of my kids have been blessed that old, and also all at home. I cannot believe the happiness this kid has brought to our family. He is the best thing ever! We love him!

St. George

2009-03-25T13:54:00.001-07:00

Last weekend we got to go down to St. George with my parents to my brothers condo. It was such a relaxing weekend ( besides the non stop fighting). Andy had a riding trip planned, so it was just the kids and I, but it ended up being so much fun. Plus, the weather was awesome!!!!

Renner 6 Weeks

2009-03-05T11:59:00.001-08:00

Football Banquet

2008-11-21T13:24:00.001-08:00

We had the chance to go to Ronin's football banquet the other night. He was so excited to go this year, last year he had to miss it because he was just getting out of the hospital for his dog bite. He had so much fun rough housing with his buddies and eating at Brick Oven. It turned out super good, and we are glad to have the evenings back with no practice. What a busy sport, but he is definitely our little athlete!!

Womens Expo

2008-11-21T13:19:00.000-08:00

Aspyn and I went up to the Womens Expo last week. She loves having a special day with me without her brother. My Mom and some of her cousins met us up there to hang out. They were loving every minute of it.

My Little Spooks~

2008-11-21T12:43:00.000-08:00

I know, I am always a day late and a dollar short! Here are some Halloween pix, I figured I might as well post them. Aspyn was a Monster Bride this year. Whatever that is, she just found it online and loved it! Ronin wanted to be a gangster, but of course he would not even wear half of his costume because it was not cool enough. And of course, little Renner was a pumpkin! What else can you be when you are only 6lbs.

Privacy Please

2008-11-14T16:11:00.000-08:00

I think Ive joined the paranoid peeps out there, I think Im going to change mine to private. So you know what to do if you want to follow my "oh so exciting life"!! Leave me your address!!

TWO WORDS " FUN STUFF"

2008-11-01T15:36:00.000-07:00

If your wondering why I'm the only one not dressed up in the group picture, it's not because I'm Debbie Downer, it's because I was not planning on being there since I was supposed to have my baby 3 days before the party. Since I had him 2 weeks before, I thought I better try to get there. Since I was so unsure if I was going to go, I did not plan a costume, but boy was I glad I went!!PAAARRRTTTYYY!!! Thanks for the fun night Lid!

Tribute to "CLAY"

2008-10-30T08:34:00.000-07:00

Kody,Kory, Frank, Chad, Andy & Reed

I'm a little late on this post, but these pix turned out so good I wanted to make sure I posted them. On the one year anniversary of when Clay died in August, Melinda had a bbq in rememberence of Clay. It turned out so good, and everyone shared stories of Clay for her to record for her kids.She had these awsome shirts made with the dog on it for all the guys to wear. Right after Clay died, all the guys decided to get a tattoo of a dog that Clay had drawn before he died. Everyone ended up getting the same tattoo in the same spot. It has his birthdate and his death date on it, and his initials CSB. They turned out so awsome, and Andy put it above his sisters initials on his side. So now my kids think that we only can get tattoos when someone we know or love dies. Ha, explain that one?

They had this life size picture of Clay blown up standing over a bucket of Mtn. Dew.

" Renner Andy Farrer"

2008-10-21T09:13:00.001-07:00

Well we finally agreed on a name for our son. After a million names and hours of talking about, we finally came up with one that we somewhat agreed on. Andy was pretty insistant on the name, so I finally went with it. It is so hard naming a kid, especially when you have Andy who is the one coming up with the different names. But, I think it is going to be a good one for him.. I hope! ahhhh

Bec's Post

2008-10-21T09:02:00.000-07:00

So Aspyn has been begging to have her own blog, and to always get on and look at blogs... what have I created! So I compromised with letting her do her own post. So if you were all wondering what all that meant that she wrote, that is why. She is growing up way to fast. First it was the ipod, next it will be the cell phone, and then she will be begging for a new car. Why is my son so oblivious to all this stuff, and she is so into it. Guess that is the diff between a boy and girl!! Gotta love her!

Aspyn's Post

2008-10-19T18:43:00.000-07:00

YA it is finally my litte brother he is so so cute and all i ever wanted is a baby but the thing that stinks is it is a boy. but it is ok and he came 10 days early yes and his name is cuty pie not. realy you will find out to morrow and kim if you are reading this tell lex to get on msn tuta loo aspyn n.

~ He's Here ~

2008-10-17T14:07:00.000-07:00

Well he finally decided to come into this world, lucky for me, it was 2 1/2 weeks earlier than planned. It is so nice to finally finally be totally done having kids. It is such a good feeling. Since he was a little early, he only weighed 6lbs. 2oz., and was only 17 inches long. He is our little nugget, and by far the smallest we've had so far. I'm sure all of you are wondering what we named the kid, but to be honest, we've named him, but now I think we are going to change it, so I'm not saying what it is til I know forsure. Isn't that so bad he is a week old, and still not sure what name to go with. It is alot of pressure knowing it is your last kid to name forever. Ahhh, but I will post it as soon as it is a forsure name! We are finally a complete family!

Almost 1 year later

2008-10-03T08:54:00.000-07:00

Well it has been almost 1 year since the horrible experience that Roni had. I cannot believe it has already been that long since everything happened. The poor kid is doing so awsome with all of it now. He had kindof a hard time at first when he would walk home with his sister from school, or when he was at a friends house that had a big dog. We actually had him in counseling for a few months for it, but he was acting like it made it worse to always have to talk about it, so we decided to take a break from it for a bit. But for having half of his face basically bit off, he is doing so good, and we just hope that he will continue to be ok with dogs. What a horrible thing that a 6 year old had to deal with, dogs are not my favorite thing, even though we still have our two huge labs. This halloween is going to be so much better than last since he got out of the hospital ON Halloween. He got more candy than he would have ever been able to think about eating from all of his awsome friends.

INTERCHANGEABLE WATCHES

2008-10-02T14:02:00.000-07:00

WATCH PARTY NEXT WEDNESDAY OCT 8th

2008-10-02T08:43:00.000-07:00

My mother-in-law and sister-in-law are having a watch party at their house on Wednesday Oct. 8 from 5:00 - 7:30. They have a bunch of new stuff that is really really cute. Sometimes instead of doing the boutiques, its just easier for them to do it out of their house for anyone who wants to just come and get another band. I don't really want to put their address on my blog, but if you are interested and want to just come down and look, leave me a comment and I will let you know where it is!

ITS FOOTBALL SEASON........ GOOOO VIIIIKINGS!!!

2008-09-23T11:24:00.000-07:00

I always love football season, especially now that I have a little player who loves it too. He played last year, but just did not seem to get into it like he has this year. He is one of the older ones now, so that makes a huge difference. He is getting so good, and even scored a touch down last game! We were so proud of him. His little buddy Jaiden Tuckett plays with him, along with almost every other sport that we do. They have become the best little buddies, and even seem to think that they dominate the team. SHHH, we wont tell them, we will just let them continue to think that. It is such a huge commitment to play tackle football at such a young age. With the 3 day a week practices for 2 hours, and then a game every saturday, I'm proud that he is still loving it and not to burned out yet. We love ya Noni~

Elizabeth Smart

2008-09-15T16:03:00.000-07:00

I thought this was kinda cool, so I thought I better post it. Andy's Dad just got put into the bishopric in a BYU ward, and once a month a member of the bishopric has family home evening at their house for some of the students. Well it was their turn, and they had them over, and Andy's mom thought this one girl looked really familiar but did not put it together. They all got up to introduce themselves, and the girl stands up and says, " Hi, I'm Elizabeth Smart, and I'm a music major!!" Andy's mom said she about died. She knew that she looked like her, but they had no idea that she was even in the ward. They said it was just crazy to see her now 6 years down the road, and it so happened that that was Monday night, and two days later she ended up being on the Oprah show. What a sad situation, but how good she seems to be doing now!

My Poor Hubby....Again

2008-09-14T17:21:00.000-07:00

Andy's shoulder has been bothering him a little lately, so he decided to have it looked at. He broke his collar bone 2 years ago for the third time, out at the Sand dunes( Death Traps),but the bone never healed right. This of course came after he had already broke it once at the Sand dunes, had surgery on it because it was sticking out of his neck, they put a plate with 8 screws in it back then. Then it healed, but the plate and screws were sticking out of his skin and bothering him, so he decided to go back in and have the plate and screws taken out. Well, since he went back out a few months later and rebroke it, he did not let it heal right. So it was a nasty broken bone that he could wiggle around, and I mean totally move. It was so nasty. So he thought he would just have it looked at, saying that he is only 31 and he has a long life of playing ball with the boys with a bad arm. So he went to a specialist and they said, "lets fix it next week"! So he went in last Monday and had it operated on. They had to rebrake the bone, then put a piece of cadaver bone in the center and put a protein wrap around it so it will grow back together. Then again they had to put another plate with 8 screws back on it to hold it back in place! Let's just say this surgery kicked his butt. He has been in bed, and cannot move or has not done anything all week! We are quite the couple right now,me being almost 8 months pregnant trying to take care of him, and him being pretty laid up. We are both hoping that it will be totally worth all the pain he went through, to have a good arm again. Let's just say we are getting real good at putting those slings on! We'll keep our fingers crossed, Love ya babe!!

FINALLY

2008-09-14T17:15:00.001-07:00

I know it was about time, but I finally got a camera that I have been needing for so long. Still trying to figure out how to use the thing, but at least now I can put some new posts on, so get ready.......

COUSINS...DONT' WE LOVE THEM

2008-09-14T16:53:00.000-07:00

YOU CAN'T TELL SHE IS A DICKINSON, CAN YOU?

It was so fun to get to have my neices over to babysit the other night. My sis lives so far away, and we never get to see them, so when we do, it is so much fun for the kids. She came into town for a wedding and needed help with the kids, so of course I offered. It was so much fun to be with them, but by the end of the night, being on east coast time, they were ready to get back to their mommy!! Love you Kate and Hannah

2008-08-31T18:47:00.001-07:00

Don't give up on me

2008-08-30T15:49:00.000-07:00

Just thought I should post that the reason why I am not putting new posts on lately, is because my camera got washed away in Lake powell a few weeks ago. Not really washed away, but basically swamped in my swim bag when our boat took on tonz of water. So now I am on a mission to find a new camera, and to find one that I like. So hang in there, and keep checking back. Im getting it soon, and I promise it will be worth the wait! hehe

Summer Fun

2008-08-30T15:45:00.000-07:00

SPANISH FORK DAYS

2008-08-04T19:35:00.001-07:00

Of course we had to do the Spanish Fork Cani if we were going to participate in any of Spanish Fork Days. The kids had such a hayday, it made me miss being a kid and loving that stuff. Thank goodness for Dad's, Im just to big of a wuss now to do that stuff. Unless you have a barf bag ready for me!

KICKBALL....WHAT?

2008-08-04T19:21:00.001-07:00

Who plays kickball anymore? At least if your an adult that is not in elementary school, and your name is Jesse. Andy's cousin Jesse entered him in a kickball tournament a few weeks ago for Spanish Fork Days. Only Jesse would come up with something like this, but of course, Andy is such a good sport he goes right along with it. Jesse, Linds and Andy all ended up playing in it, and of course, if I was not 6 months prego, I would have gotten my butt out there also. Maybe next year for me, but for them they ended up taking 2nd place and only losing by 2 runs. It went til after midnight, but was so much fun to watch. We will have to practice up all year to get ready for it next summer!!

4TH OF JULY WEEKEND

2008-07-12T15:26:00.000-07:00

Mimi & Popi
Tanner & Jen

So annoyed that I am always taking pictures!

We had such a busy 4th of July weekend this year. It doesn't usually seem so busy, but maybe this year it just seemed that way because I am pregnant and tired. We had such a blast, and the kids loved doing it all. It all started at 6:00am going to see the hot air balloons down in provo. Andy's fam has been doing that for like ten years, and it is such a tradition that cannot be broke. So we thought we would tuff it out and just go another year. Well, Andy actually had to be in the Provo parade this year, ( he does an inactive Marine Corp. League once a month, so they all got to be in the parade) and Aspyn went to have a slumber party at her cousin Syd's house, so it was just Roni and I. After seeing the balloons, we decided to walk down to see the parade, with the other 10 million people that were doing the same thing, to see if we could find Andy before the parade started. By the time we got home, I was so tired and ready for a nap. No time for naps in the Farrer Fam, we were going boatin!! So we boated all day at Utah Lake, then came home and were supposed to go see the PG fireworks, but we ended up needing to go out and get Aspyn in Spanish Fork, so we just stayed out there and did our own illegal fireworks. Which was fine by me by that time, I was so d--- tired by that point, that I was ready for bed. Why does pregnancy have to be so long and hard on your body? Or is it just me???

BBQ

2008-07-01T08:01:00.000-07:00

Weekend bbq at our house, so much fun. The boys ended up playing croquet ( however) til 11:00pm in the back yard! So happy its finally summer!

Throwing Hay

2008-07-01T07:45:00.000-07:00

Andy's Grandparents live on a ranch in Wallsburg, and every year he goes up to help them get the bails of hay off the field, put it on the trailer,and then unload it into the barn. Well this year he was supposed to go on a Saturday with his little bro Tanner while I was at the pool, but the hay ended up being to wet, so we ended up going on Sunday when Tanner wasn't able to go. Instead, Andy had ME helping him do it. We had to do 3 diffenent trips with 100 bails of hay each time. That makes 300 bails of hay. Which for some of you, if you have not done this before, that is alot of hay to throw with just you and your wussy wife. Which was fine, except that I am 23 weeks prego, and not much of help, so he was basically on his own. Of course, I cannot just stand there and let him do it all, so I just had to help him. But, of course, I did take it pretty easy, but I was so beat when I got home. I thought next time hay comes around, I think this time I really might be busy, even if it is on a Sunday! We always love helping out on the ranch,and it teaches our kids to work which is good!

LAKE POWELL

2008-06-30T19:56:00.000-07:00

Lake Powell was so much fun this year. We had a low key trip, but for me right now, that is all I wanted. We just went with Scott& Michele and the boys! It was so relaxing to sit on the beach all day, and let the kids run wild. They love it down there, except this time the beaches at Lone Rock were covered with sticker bushes. It was so bad, we had to make a trip into Paige to the Walmart to buy some water shoes. I never thought that I would be caught dead in those, but we had no choice. It was bad! Scott and Andy thought they had the week off work, but instead they were down there on the beaches raking and shoveling and burning all the bushes off our beach so the kids would have some good sand to play in. All in all we had so much fun and all got plenty of sun!

ASPYN TURNS 9

2008-06-30T19:44:00.000-07:00

Aspyn finally turned nine! She knows just how to milk it for all that it's worth. She has learned well from her mom!! We don't have a birth Day, we have a birth Week!! We probaly over celebrate at our house, but it only comes around once a year! She was so excited to get to go to her Nana's pool to swim with her cousins and friends, and then off to the Orem city parade and fireworks! It ended up working out just great to have all that fall right on her birthday! She felt so special, and even finally got her own ipod! SPOILED!!! We love ya sis!

MIDNIGHT RUN

2008-05-29T19:09:00.001-07:00

My husband came up with this great idea to do something crazy. He thought it would be so fun to ride their little motorcycle 50's from our house in Lindon to his cousin Jesse's house in Spanish Fork. Not only to just do this, but to do it at midnight in the dark on the backroads, and see how far they could get before getting caught or pulled over by a cop! They took all the back roads from here to there. Fortunately, they made it without getting caught, without a ticket, and without calling me at all hours of the night to come pick them up. They made it there in 2 hours without any injuries also. Never a dull moment here at the Farrers!
(Andy thought it would be so funny to wear his "sherrif" hat that he bought at a gas station.)

Lisa Ling

2008-05-24T09:51:00.000-07:00

We were sitting in the Chicago airport waiting for our next flight out into New York, when all of a sudden I hear my Mom go, "Oh, Hi Lisa Ling"! She had just sat down right next to us in the seats. We sat there and chatted with her for about 10 minutes, then asked her where she was going, and she was on her way into New York to cover a story for CNN. She ended up being on our same flight, of course we did not sit by her on the plane, we are not cool enough for first class like those celebrities!! Maybe some of you don't know who she is, she was on the View for awhile, and on Oprah, and now she does the National Geographic stuff. I just had to say who she was cuz my brother was like, " Who the he-- is that?"

New York

Hanging out on Canal Street spending all of Andy's money

We were in Battery Park, so I thought I would take a picture with the "Statue of Liberty"! Not really, it was like an all day wait to ride the fairy out!

On our way from Canal Street to see the Statue of Liberty on the subway!

We had such a good time in New York, it was a much needed trip! It is always nice to leave town, but always nice to get back. We got to do so much while we were there. We went into New York City two different days. Lindsay got us around the city so well for not having much experience. She got that map out and guided us all over, to every attraction we wanted to see. We saw the Empire State Building, Rockafeller Plaza, Canal Street, Battery Park where you over look the Statue of Liberty. We went and saw the broadway "Lion King", and that was really really cool. After our show got out, we were right there in Time Square. That was awsome to see at night. We rode around on the subways from one place to the next, and ate tonz and tonz of good food!! We had a lot of bad luck in the flying department both on our way out there,and on our way back. Right when I was getting ready to leave my house to go the SLC airport, a 1-800 number kept calling 3-4 times. I finally answered it and it was a recording saying our flight had been cancelled due to bad weather. So we did not leave until 6 hours later. Then on our way coming home, the only flight that was left leaving New York on that day was the 6:05am flight out. So I booked us on it, but that meant we had to get up at 3:30am to get there on time with the hour drive to get there from Lindsay's house. We made our flight out, then got into Dallas, and were getting ready to board our next flight, when they came on and said that the plane had not passed its inspection so they were getting us a new plane. They told us to come down to a different terminal and they would start boarding the new plane. We all got on and were sitting in the plane ready to back up. We sat there for almost an hour and a half,and they finally came on and said they were running some tests on the plane,and that we would be taking off soon. Finally they came on and said there was a broken hydraulic line and they were going to have to cancel this flight also. We had to all get back off the plane, and get back in line and try to get rebooked on a diff. flight. The only flight they had out that day was at 6:30pm that night. Mom and I had to sit in the Dallas airport from 8:30am til 6:30pm. I was so pissed. I was supposed to get into SLC at 11:05am. Instead it was 9:00pm. What a joke! Who do you know that two planes in a row break down on them?? Point of my story, Think twice before booking a ticket on American Airlines. So much for a free frequent flier ticket! It was all worth the stress anyway!!!

Dance Dance Dance

2008-05-23T13:43:00.001-07:00

Aspyn had her first performance for dance this week. We were trying to stick to the gymnastics thing, but for now, I guess it is dance. She loved it,and was so excited that everyone came to watch her. She even got to perform with her best friend Mckenna. She definitely has the body of a gymnast, but not so much of the grace of a dancer. She loves it though, at this age, whatever makes them happy I guess, Right?

New York

2008-05-09T07:28:00.000-07:00

My awsome husband is letting me take one last vacation with my Mom to go and visit my sister in New York. She has been begging me for a few years since she moved there to come and visit, I figured if I don't go now, it is only going to get harder once the baby comes. The kids get to stay with Daddy for 6 days. I am a little nervous leaving them for that long, but at least I know if Andy doesn't feed them, they are old enough to feed themselves! I know they will be alive when I get home. At least he is more than willing to let me go, so I cannot complain about anything. Love Ya Babe

IT'S A BOY

2008-05-05T07:22:00.000-07:00

I guess the boys won the girls this time. To bad there will most likely not be another chance to have a girl. We are way excited, and just hope that it all goes good til the end. We were so anxious to find out, so I called the mall and asked how far you had to be to get the ultrasound done, and she said at least 17 weeks. So I lied to her and told her I was almost that far, when really I was only 14.5 weeks. But obviously they could tell what it was. Like everyone kept telling me, if there is a weenie, you will know right away that it is a boy. Yep, and we are stoked to have another sweet boy in the fam.

MOAB

SAND DUNES RACE

2008-04-17T19:31:00.000-07:00

I guess that Andy ended being right all along, or else he has really good luck. He promised me he would race hard, but not at his bodies expense of getting hurt. He did an awsome job, and even took 3rd place in his class overall for the race. He rode hard, but still took it easy enough to just have a good time. Girls, I guess it was worth staying and watching him to miss my girls night out. The only problem now is that since he did so good and did not get hurt, now he wants to do another. I told him, I think you are pushing your luck to go that far. You got away without an injury one time, lets just leave it at that! What a blast we had!
I GUESS ANDY WAS RIGHT, HE BROUGHT HOME THE HARDWARE WITHOUT ANY INJURIES, THAT WAS ALL THAT I ASKED! GOOD JOB BABE

2008-03-21T12:38:00.000-07:00

So I finally went to the doctor the other day, which I guess it was not finally, because I am only 9 weeks, but it just seems more official when you actually go to the doctor and get to see the baby. Of course getting all the blood work done, and all the usual exams, makes it also seem more real. I just keep thinking that I feel like sh-- for no reason. I know that I am prego, but it just does not seem as real, until you actually go see the doc. Maybe I am just crazy, but it made me realize that I am really in for a rude awakening in life. My life is about to change here in the next few months. It is so different right now with kids in school all day, and the free time that I have to myself, is no longer going to be that way soon. But, I am sooo excited about it. This is a huge step for Andy and I. We really thought for a long time that we were sooo done. Finally we just decided that there was one more out there for us, and that we just had to get it done! So, 1 month later, it was done. Now it just seems so freeking far away to October, but after the sickness goes away, hopefully time will go much faster, because I feel like I have already been prego for 40 weeks, and it has only been 9. I guess that is the good thing, because I am not sure that I am ready to take care of a baby right now, I would rather have it inside of me. Aspyn and I keep saying that the girls are going to beat the boys!! ( saying we want it to be a girl, and the boys want a boy!) I guess we will get what we are supposed to have. I hope the kids understand that, because I see a big fight when we finally do find out!! Haha

Can't figure out why?

2008-03-04T16:05:00.000-08:00

So my husband thinks that it is really weird that I don't like him racing his dirtbike. To me, it all makes sense just by looking at the pictures, but to him, he wonders why I can't be the supportive wife that wants him to go out and do these things intentionally to his body. Well, let's just say, "Babe, 3 strikes and your out"! Of course, I'm sure he will get his way, he already has a race booked for April 4th. Like Aspyn says, " Mom, it is the good thing you have your policy"!!!

Yes, it is true, there is a bun in the oven. We are finally going to #3. It is about time, now that our other two are almost graduating, haha! We are way excited, if I can just get through these first few months of feeling like sh--. It seems so far away til the due date next fall, but I think that is a good thing, because I need to do some serious mental preperation for this next baby! I am way excited to finally be on my last and final pregnancy. Yay!

Arizona for Supercross

2008-03-03T13:55:00.000-08:00

We went to visit ol' Jay & Kim in the warmer weather of AZ in January for Supercross. Of course we always say we are going for Supercross, but of course, it is just to ditch the cold weather of Utah, and go down with no kids for a weekend of relaxation. We had so much fun, but of course all good things have to come to an end. We decided next time Kim, there is no other way than to fly. That beats anything else. We love ya, and we would do anything, but not that nasty long drive ever again. Sorry! I love that Andrea is giving a crusty in one of the pix, that is what she does best! haha, I love you!! Sorry the pix are so crappy, but that is your fault for not making me take more pictures of the weekend. Oh Well!!!

Thanksgiving in the Mountains

2007-12-01T10:00:00.000-08:00

The cabin is always really fun to go up to, especially when it is over a holiday like Thanksgiving. I bet if you asked Andy what he was greatful for that weekend, it would not have been to be stuck in a cabin for that long with my family. The usual plans are to snowmobile while we are up there, but since the weather had not brought us any yet, we had much more time on our hands than usual. I guess the guys did anyway, the women are usually inside with the kids most of the time, so not much different for us. But we all had a blast up there, and ate so much food, I thought I might die up there. Thank goodness for the nintendo Wii and all the other video games for the kids. They really are a life saver when you have 13 kids under the age of 9 trapped in a cabin for 5 days. Is that what we call family fun?????

German Shephards do MEAN MEAN things

2007-11-04T18:34:00.000-08:00

Halloween this year was a little different for us than it was in the past. Ronin did not get to go this year, because he had just got home from the hospital. He got attacked by a german shepherd dog the day before. I guess it was not really an attack, more just the dog jumped up over the other side of the fence, and ripped a gigantic hole in the side of his cheek. It was so bad and so big that we thought and planned for the worst. We thought that the outcome would have never been what it was. We had the ambulance called, and then rushed him to the hospital. We had to have a plastic surgeon come in and fix his face. They had to reattach all the muscles in his face, and put over a 100 stitches in to close it up. It was a pretty serious wound the doctors told us. He is hopefully going to heal up with not much long term damage, other than a cool scar across his whole cheek! He was such a stud through it all. We love ya Roni!!!

Thomas' 2nd Birthday

2007-11-04T18:25:00.001-08:00

Thomas' second birthday party was a blast. We got to have it at Thanksgiving Point the Saturday before Halloween. He is a lucky boy to be born right on Halloween. My kids think that is so cool. We especially loved it this year because we got to dress us. Ronin is glad now that we got to have the party, because he did not get to dress up on Halloween and go trick or treating. Even though we had to stay home, we sure did get alot of candy from all his friends! Next year will be a better year for the Halloween thing. At least we got to celebrate with Thomas!

LOHAN WORKING OUT AT MY GYM

YA,IT IS TRUE, WE DID SEE LOHAN AT THE GYM A FEW DAYS AGO. ANDREA AND I DID SPOT HER IN HER SUNGLASSES, WALKING IN THE GYM AT 6:00AM, WITH HER MORNING COFFEE. HER JACKET READ, DON'T FOLLOW ME!!! COULD YOU BE ANYMORE RUDE LINDSAY. I GUESS THAT IS WHAT CELEBRITIES CAN DO. WE HEARD SHE WILL STILL BE HERE A FEW MORE WEEKS. WE ARE HOPING TO SEE HER ONE LAST TIME. DON'T WORRY, I WILL MAKE SURE TO TAKE A PICTURE THIS TIME!

BLACK & BLUE ISN'T ALWAYS COOL

2007-09-21T13:02:00.000-07:00

Ronin was having so much fun playing night games with his uncles and the neighbors, he forgot to watch where he was going, and ran right into the metal trampoline frame. He hit it directly on the bridge of his nose,and most would have thought that it was broken. Since there was no blood, everyone said that it would be alright. A few days after, when Mom got home from Florida, it was apparent that he had been having so much fun while I was gone, that he needed me to get back to take care of him. I guess at least he was alright, I would have been really sad if he did break it. I guess they always say, Boys will be Boys!!

TIM AND STEPHS BIG WEDDING DAY

2007-09-20T07:48:00.000-07:00

Florida was a blast! We loved being able to be there for Tim and Steph, although none of us wanted to come home when it was time. There was so much celebration going on, but that is a good thing, because it was such a happy day for them! We are so glad that they finally tied the knot, and we officially have another member of the family. We love you, Steph!!!
