IT'S DONE!!

Finally.....

Mike has a place to park the lawn mower! :)

This picture was taken right after Mike used the pressure washer to clean out the shed. Can you believe he went through 3 1/2 tanks of gas? He has always dreamed of building a shed. After 68 yards of concrete were poured a few years ago, his dream has finally come true.

The shed before it was build.

WOW!! The walls are going up.

Getting more and more exciting everyday!

Where did our neighbors go?

The shed is HUGE!! I say

You can never go too big honey. Mike assured me.

Now it's starting to look like a shed.

The guys getting ready to stucco!

FINALLY DONE!!

As Tim, The Toolman Taylor would say....
ARGGG ,ARGGG, ARGGG
Testosterone flying all over the place!

We keep calling it a shed, but people keep saying it is NOT a SHED!!

Detached garage, Man House, The Shop?

I think it is best described as the ....

GARAGE-MAHAL!!

I think its funny to see Mike peek out the bedroom
blinds in the morning to see if his baby
is really there!
NOPE, it's WASN'T a DREAM!!

Is this called singing?

Whenever Hailey practices piano it ends up a duet with the dog.

If we close the doors to the front room, Ty scratches to go in so he can sing.

It's very entertaining and keeps us laughing.

Sand Dunes!!

We finally got the trailer out and went camping. The kids were so excited you would've thought we were flying to Disneyland. After getting ready to go and the mess you have to clean up when you get home, maybe Disneyland would've been easier. :)

Here is a picture of the group out on the dunes.

We had a great time.

Hailey jumping her machine! Look at her. Mike keeps telling her when she starts dating she's going to show her date how its done. :)

Joshua also catching some major air!

The boys stayed busy digging a hole at camp and then filling it with water. You should've seen how many trips to the water spicket it took to fill this hole up. They had so much fun being little boys and playing in the mud.

Carter and Carson!

When we go riding out on the dunes, the grown-ups park their bikes and let the kids ride and race around. This particular video of Carter just amazes me. Is he really only 4? He got new riding gloves and he told me that they help him hold on better. I'm glad to hear that because he wants to jump!! This is the first time Mike has let him ride alone. Usually Mike sits on the back because Carter hasn't figured out the brakes yet. He just reaches for the key to shut it off. But at the end of the video when Mike tells him to give it the gas....all the way, it just cracks me up how Carter leans into it and goes for the jump.

I remember the early years camping with little kids and sitting at camp while Mike went out and rode with the boys. It is so much fun now that the kids are bigger and we can go out as a family and all be together. I never thought this day would come! :)

Carter singing country!!

We've got a country singer on our hands!!

Carter has really been into his music lately. Anything from Shrek, Kenney Chesney, Mamma Mia, Book of Mormon Stories, Shania Twain to Hannah Montana. Quite the variety. I caught him singing the Rascal Flatts song from the Hannan Montana Movie Soundtrack. The song is very fast for him, but he's trying to figure it out.

If you want to know what you get when you sing a country song backwards just listen......

Hope that puts a smile on your face, like it did mine.! :))

A Visit from NANA!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MOM!!

My mom came to visit a couple weeks ago and we loved having a girls weekend together. The weather was rainy so Hailey and my mom got their toes glittered. OH SO PRETTY!!!

We also went to a boutique and then to the Hannah Montana movie.

We thought the movie was so cute! We now own the CD and Hailey is learning the line dance to Hoe Down Throw Down.

Good Times!

While we were at the movies, Mike and Bob took the boys to the motorcross races. Now Carter wants to race motorcycles and play with his new best friend...Zack.

A fun weekend had by all!

We want the sun back!

Last week the temperature was 80 degrees and beautiful. Now it's back down to 60 and were missing the sun. Since we did have a couple of days of nice weather I thought it would be fun for us to take Ty to the groomers on our bikes. Once I got everything ready to go and I was already pooped. Hook the bike trailer up to my bike, pump up the tires, grab everyones helmet, get the dog, the leash, my sunglasses, oh ya I need my purse. PHEW is that it.

While we waited for Ty, we rode our bikes over to the Maverik, got a slurpie and then went to the park to play. After all, we were riding our bikes and getting some excercise so it is OK to get full on candy right?

This is a picture of Hailey on a building at Daybreak. She was playing with her friend at the park and got her picture taken and now it's posted on the building. :) It's kind of hard to see. The sun has to be shining right through the building. Her friends sister is in the front and Hailey is in the back. We think that's cool.

Here is the new ROPE park at Daybreak. The kids had a blast. I get a little nervous, because Carter tries to keep up with the big kids and climb to the top. This is why we want the sun back! The kids can't wait to go back. There is a little beach to play on and docks you can sit on and dangle your feet in the water. Makes me miss Bear Lake.

Not another Birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

to the best dad and husband

in the MILKY WAY!!

The kids had a really great time making Mike a candy bar poster.

I hope you can read it. It turned out really cute!

Since the kids are off track, we decided to be sneaky and head down to Mikes work and trash his car. We had a great time.

Mike decided to take 1/2 day off work, which made us all very happy. When he got home he opened presents and then we had a delicious BBQ with his parents.

Thanks to everyone for the phone calls and bday wishes!

Happy Birthday Hon! We Love You!!
