a few random thoughts

UEA break was kindof a wash....Clint still had to work on Friday and Jordan was kinda sick... so we just hung out and cleaned the house and went to the farm and did just random things.. we did rent a few movies and had ordered pizza and few fun things like that .. Grandparents and Devery took Kyley and Ansen hiking and got some fun pics that I am excited to post when I get a copy!!

but here are a few random fun pics...

jordan loves balloons...
Farm... can't get enough of this beautiful weather...we love to be outside and what better place??

shadow fighting.

our next favorite thing is...Yep you guessed it Tea Party!! My boys think this is so fun!

tucking the animals in for a nap!!.... before I decide it is thier turn..

Tea party again..


SV Cats Soccer... MUCH better finish this year!!

cheer run!!
after each game they line up and they run across the field and then on the way back all the parents and others cheer for them... they are supossed to stay in a line.. you can see how well that works.. you would think they could have it figured out by now!??

This is Ansen if you can tell. They did so much better this year.. Love watching all these boys they are such a great team with awsome coaches! Can't wait for spring!

one at a time

Tyler turned 15

Where did my sweet little boy go? well he has turned in to a great big sweet boy (sorry Young Man) taller than his mother, aunts grandmas and Grandpa Greene but not quite dad and grandpa Hoyt yet... LOVE THIS KID TO DEATH I DO!!

basket ball playing with JayCee is pretty risky business for tyler but he is a good big brother..

don't know if you can see the paper...Elmo in firefrucks!! LOVE it!!

I have become the custom cake person expecially in Sept.. with 5 birthdays.. cake gets old!
This is Key Lime Pie..(key lime birthday pie)

we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner and Clint has those saddle ridin' pics on his phone.. so maybe next post!

The Big Birthday... and Lagoon

She is 12, where did the time go??

This is how we spent Kyley's birthday... 2 hours of Young Womens Volleyball...HaHaHa sneaky.. she thinks.. barely 12 today and already 2 young women activities.. LOVES it! We have such good young women and leaders...

Sizzler for dinner.
Heavy Heavy Hangover thy poor head.. and with Jay doing the bonking.. it is true.. I must be carefull in letting him do the bonking! **side note.. already on the phone.. ignoring the fact that we are all there watching and waiting at 10pm for her to open gifts.. at least everyone is in jammies...typical 12 yr. old girl***

12 candles was not as easy as she thought!

LAGOON

this should have been the last pic.. ready to go home...

they had fun.. but after 7 hours of Lagoon...enough is enough... Kyley, Tyler in the back... Dad and Dyn in the middle...Dyn was upset at having to go on this ride he wanted to go so bad last year and was 1/2 in. too short...now just 1/2 in too scared..
Jordan loved Kiddie land.. puff not so much but all the planes and things like that..:)

JayCee kinda go a bit sick on this one.. but still enjoyed it..

Thank You AFS for doing Lagoon day... Can't beat 8 people into lagoon for the price of gas down and home and I do end up buying dinner on the way home because I am lazy and do NOT want to cook after a day in the sun...

Keradyn's birthday is on the 2nd of Sept. the first of a busy month for us... Favorite color... as you can tell...is green.. no it is yellow.

we also did corn this month.. lots of corn. about 35-40 doz.... but is all in the freezer now and it feel good to know that I have enough for the next year. and as you can see.. we all spent time shucking, washing, cutting and cooking and bagging..Jay even helped he loved being able to help daddy cut..

we went Bowling for Keradyn's birthday.. Clint and I always take the birthday child out to dinner Keradyn wanted to go bowling for his day... we had fun...


Labor day we went to the zoo and to grandmas (both) house to play.. with JayCee and Jordan the other kids and Clint went fishing in Kamas, Jordan LOVED the swing.


SHE'S A BEEHIVE

one more thing.. to end the post...My BABY girl turns 12 on Thurs. the Young Women came to get her and took her to play Mini-Golfing.. she had a lot of fun. her leaders brought her these cupcakes... very cute!!

FIRSTS

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL...DYN WOKE UPWITH THE BIG KIDS BEFORE 7 SO EXCITED TO GO TO SCHOOL AND GO TO A NEW SCHOOL! (ALL DAY) Ansen some how got out of the first day of school pictures..?? I will have to grab one soon... and also Soccer has started for ansen they won their first game and lost the second..

JayCee starts preschool in a week! he is pretty excited!
LOST A TOOTH (FINALLY) CLINT HAD TO HOLD HIM DOWN AND PULL IT OUT
after he pulled it out... he was ticked.. I just wanted it to fall out dad!!..it took a little bit of time for him to talk to Clint again. but happies now!!

not a great pic.. came off the phone but.. so cute if I could have captured how excited he was to pet and pull and love this bull.. he was loving life!! it just amazes me at how my kids get along with animals and how they respond ... this is our small bull (over 1000lbs.) against my 20lb. Jordan LOVE IT!!! and so does he.. NO fear..

NO more FBing

okay so I think I have been banned from FB nowdays... I have contracted a virus.. one to many times and Clint is tired of redoing my computer so he is positive.. (unfortunatly as am I) it comes from there!! so goodbye to my FB friends... but that is okay... I will survive and my kids will have me 10 more minutes a day!!

Family Reunion. 2010

Okay ... I did it backwards.. but it'll all come out in the wash...
This vacation was full of a lot of hurry up and waits... but it was all good.. good to see family we have not seen for a long time.. and will miss alot now that they are gone.

This is John Sacks cabin.. how amazing this man was.. (in Island Park) what a beautiful setting..
Car show in West Yellowstone the weekend we were there...Tyler needless to say..in HEAVEN he filled the memory in his phone and ran the battery dead taking pics... there were some very NICE cars there.

Gift shop bear.. kinda cute.. in a cheesy sorta way.. but that is what vaca with kids is all about!!

John Sacks cabin again.. Grandma and Keradyn..

on the trail..to the cabin

waiting for old faithful.

very pretty to look at but not too pretty to smell as Keradyn said..

This actually was my favorite part of the trip...we went to Hoytsville...Yes it does exsist! and we saw the Hoyt Mansion.. amazing it was built in 1860's???around there.. Just beautiful. Now of course there have been upgrades but much is origional..

Barn in the back..

a shed off to the side.. don't know what it was used for but very cool to see all the detail and time put in to these walls and fences and homes..

origional fireplace, just is mindblowing to me that they took this much time to make these show pieces and I complain about having to vaccuum.

the house is on... Hoyt LN. how cool is that?

Bear Lake was the beginning of the trip..
Tea Party time for the boys who did not go fishing.. they had to be gentlemen and sit the ladies and push in thier chairs etc... what a handsome set..

Flower craft.. and pedicures and fairy houses were the other activites of the day and of couse swimming..

we enjoyed spending time with family this week now it is back to the grind of daily life..one child short.. Tyler left for the Windrivers Monday morning.. I miss him already.. and it is only 6 hours in.. what am I going to do until Saturday??
