More from celly at Myxer

So my kids have been obsessed with this you tube video for the past month. It is really pretty dumb, but the more you watch it, the funnier it gets. I'm not kidding, I think that I have seen it about 30 times. We just sit around the computer and laugh our heads off at this cute little kid! Check it out if you have a sec!

4TH OF JULY WEEKEND

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

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

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

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 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!

Special Olympics

We had the Special Olympics this week for Chris. I cannot tell you how excited he gets about it. He is such a stud and more importantly the most special one in our family!

How's that for A DAY IN THE DIRT

MIDNIGHT RUN

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

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!

Hey Linds & Keith, SLOW DOWN~ hehe JK

Kate and I at Grand Central Station

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

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

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
