Been a long time......

2011-01-27T16:09:00.000-08:00

Wow its been forever since I have found the time to update this thing!! A lot has happened in the last few months so sorry if this is long and boring and sorry for all of the pictures. Wow, where to begin....I guess I will go clear back to the summer.

My baby boy turned the big 1!!!!

Although he is super naughty most of the time we sure do LOVE this guy!!!!!

We spent the fourth of July in Torrey just like we always do!! I have the most amazing grandparents that live there and we love to visit them every year!! We always enjoy the little town parade and celebrations. And of course shooting guns and riding four wheelers is a must when we go down there!

We also spent alot of time up at the cabin this summer.....hunting, riding four wheelers, fixing up the cabin, and hiking! The boys absolutely love it up there as do I and Cole!

This year we decided to let Bridger come out hunting with us one evening and he had the time of his life! Cole even gave him his very own knife! Wyatt just loved playing in the dirt!

And yes call me crazy, but I LOVE Hunting!!!!!

I love being up in the mountains with my family, and I love spending time with my hubby!

This year we hiked our butts off, and I loved every minute of the torture Cole put me through! We got in the middle of a herd of elk, and I loved hearing them bugling and calling to each other...we got pretty close to a nice bull....and I even got to be there when he shot his elk! (and all that goes along with that...you know like gutting it and dragging it out.) But yes, I loved every minute of it and can not wait for the hunt this year!

THEN................

Bridger had his surgery on his chin. They cut it open and removed a lump, and cut out a whole bunch of scar tissue. Hopefully that will be the last of the surgerys for a while with that poor kid.

This is a few days after the surgery...

In the mean time.....Wyatt......has learned how to climb up everything...destroy everything.....beat up his older brother and cousin.....but.......he has been sooooo much fun!!

THEN.........

My dear Grandpa Fraughton passed away.......Grandpa Fraughton was born July 11 1935 and passed away on October 7 2010

We were lucky to have known him.......

He was a friend to all he knew and will never be forgotten!!

We had a big family dinner just before he left this earth......Love you gramps!!!!

........................HALLOWEEN.....................

We had a great time on halloween....Bridger was a moose again this year...Wyatt was a bear...I was pocahontas....and cole was yo-gabba-gabba!!

Just have to throw these in here............

.......................CHRISTMAS......................

my favorite part of Christmas.....

my grandpa playing the guitar while we sing Christmas songs......

And our favorite thing lately......is........Tubing up at Soldier Hollow

Well I am sure I have missed alot .....but I will try and keep up this year!

Happy Happy Birthday!!!

2010-04-07T13:57:00.000-07:00

I want to wish my little sister Cierra a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!!!

She is the big 1-7...It makes me feel so old!!

We love you CJ!!!

Where has the time gone??

2010-03-15T15:52:00.000-07:00

Okay so life has been super crazy lately, between 2 little boys that are into everything, and keep us crazy busy, our busy jobs, and the winter funk weve been in, there is no time to post..but here I am finally...both boys are sleeping so I figured I would try and do a little catch up.......Sorry but this may be a little long and boring...

So Bridger had another little accident and put his teeth through his lip again...I swear this kid needs to wear a helmet all of the time...This time we will blame it on the home teachers who just happened to be there at the time to share this with us.... Note to self: don't start out a home teaching lesson with you tube videos that get kids all wound up and make them think they can fly and climb walls...and result in face planting into the cupboards and mom yelling "Shit!" really, really loud. Anyways, he is okay, just banged up!

Thanks Bridger for being one tuff lil guy! We love you!

Wyatt gets his first haircut...

2010-03-15T15:50:00.000-07:00

Wyatt got his first haircut the other day...its crazy how blonde he is after cutting off all of his dark ends. I will have to post pictures of him after...he was covered in hair and put in the tub right after!I love the look on is face!

Surprisingly he sat really still and let Cole do it!

Bridgers Patriotic Program at School

2010-03-15T15:40:00.000-07:00

Bridgers Pre-School, Kids Village, put on a patriotic program last week. It was so cute to watch Bridger perform for us...he was quite the little show off!
They sang songs and did actions with them....
He loves school...which I am glad for, and he has learned so much there!

Just a few random pictures...

2010-03-15T15:39:00.000-07:00

Wyers eatin some breakfast...
Bridger and Wyatt pulling things out of the drawers...seriously why buy kids toys when they can just have some plastic spoons and measuring cups!

Bridger strikin a pose!

Can't believe how grown up he is getting.

How could you not wanna kiss those cheekies off!

Christmas..just a little late....

2010-03-15T15:29:00.000-07:00

This year was Wyatts first Christmas....he was so much fun...he was mostly interested in tearing the paper...he didnt care much about what was inside.....

Bridger asked for a bra, a hulu hoop, a purple wig, a wedding dress, and a slingshot this year....NO he didnt get everything he asked for....just the hula hoop, and the sling-shot...and a lot of other boy things!

We had our traditional Christmas Eve dinner at my moms where my Grandpa Sherm played Christmas songs on his guitar...Bridger got out his guitar and helped Grandpa...I look forward to that every year! We love Christmas because we get to spend so much time with family!

I will update this darn thing one of these days!!!

Wyatt and Hunter....

2009-12-10T18:47:00.001-08:00

I can not believe how fast Wyatt is growing...he is 4 months older than my little nephew Hunter and is double the size!!!

Snow Days!!!

2009-12-10T18:30:00.001-08:00

Well it has finally snowed!!! Bridger and Mikha had a fun time out in the snow...Bridger was doing snow angels, and throwing snow at me...which is apparently the funniest thing...because he could not stop laughing. Mikha loved to catch the snow balls in her mouth, and had so much fun letting Bridger throw snow at her!! Now I can not wait for Christmas to come!!!!!!!

Ouch!!!!!

2009-12-10T18:23:00.000-08:00

So I got a call at work last week from a very upset Cole, he called to tell me that Bridger had a hole in his lip from his front teeth going through it...and that he was taking him to the hospital....yes I panicked because this is the first real cut or ouchie that has happened to my little man....I left work and met Cole and Bridger at the doctors office. The doctor came in and checked him out and told us that it would scar worse if she did stitches, so they decided to leave it and let it heal on its own....bridger was so cute, he wanted Cole and I to call everyone we knew to tell them about it. As a mommy I think it was harder on me than it was on Bridger, but we made it through and now he says he is a man because he has bled!!!

Family picture time...

2009-10-16T19:06:00.001-07:00

We finally had some family pictures taken......

Happy 60th!

2009-10-16T18:55:00.000-07:00

We had a 60th birthday party for coles dad Glade....

It was a ton of fun...

We also made a video for his dad with pictures of him growing up, it turned out really cute. While looking through pictures we found some really cute ones of cole and his brothers and sisters when they were little...I thought they were so cute I had to post a few of them.....Cole was such a blondie, and I think Bridger looks alot like him.

Its about time, I know.

2009-10-16T18:26:00.000-07:00

Hmmmmm...where to begin, its been a really really long time since I have updated..

Bridger started Pre-School, and he loves it. (I apologize for the not so good picture with the nice water spot on his forehead) He has made a lot of new friends, some Imaginary, but most of them are in his class. He is getting so big and grown up and I hate that my baby is no longer a baby.

We spent a little time at the cabin with family........

and loving my boys.....

Chancho!!!

2009-08-28T18:29:00.001-07:00

Seriously, where does the time go!! My teeny-tiny is not so little anymore.

Bridger turned 3!

2009-08-28T18:00:00.000-07:00

Bridger turned 3 on August 5th! We had a little party for him with all of our family. He got every single transformer there is and even Cole cant figure those dumb things out. He also got a bike and he absolutely loves it! Thank you to all of our family for coming! Overall he had a great Birthday and Cole and I are still finding it hard to believe he is 3!

Wyatt

2009-07-23T17:25:00.000-07:00

Okay seriously where does the time go??? Wyatt is almost 4 months old already and I can hardly believe it. He is starting to get so fun and getting such a cute little personality. He gooo's and gaaaa's all the time and is always smiling. He loves his big brother so much even though he gets a little rough with him sometimes.

We are so blessed to have such a good baby!!

We love you Wy!!

Happy Fathers Day!

2009-06-21T11:32:00.000-07:00

A Dad is a person who is loving and kind,

And often he knows what you have on your mind.

He's someone who listens, suggests, and defends.

A dad can be one of your very best friends!

He's proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong,

A dad can be patient and helpful and strong

In all that you do, a dad's love plays a part.

There's always a place for him deep in your heart.

And each year that passes, you're even more glad,

More grateful and proud just to call him your dad!

Thank you, ...for listening and caring, for giving and sharing,

but, especially, for just being you!

Happy Fathers Day Dads!!!
Dave,
Thank you for everything you do for us...Hunting with Cole, Spending time with our boys and for being such a great Papa-Bear!!
We love you!

Alan,
Thank you for all you do...our fun Lake Powell trips, Playing with Bridger and Wyatt and for being a great Papa!!!
We love you!!

Cole,
Thank you for being the best husband a girl could ask for...
thank you for being there through the hard times and the good times...
thank you for never giving up on us, even when things arent easy...
thank you for being supportive even if you dont agree...
thank you for being my very best friend no matter what.....

and most of all........

thank you for being a great dad to our boys!!!!!
We Love you!!!!!

So I have had some serious baby blues the last couple of days so I thought it would be nice to get out of the house and get a little sunshine! My sisters and I took Bridger to the new Lindon swimming pool. It was perfect for Bridger, they had a lazy river, a water slide and a couple of shallow pools for little ones. Bridger had a ball!
Shayli going down the waterslide!

Me and Bridger going down the waterslide!

Being lazy in the lazy river!

Its finally finished!

2009-05-23T14:31:00.000-07:00

We decided to buy Bridger an early birthday present because he has been getting bored at home with me...it took us around 20 hours to put it together and it is finally finished!!!

It is also his reward for being semi-potty trained!

MY BEST BUDDIES

2009-05-21T14:32:00.001-07:00

Bridgers first time meeting and holding his little brother...He was so cute. as soon as I put the baby in his arms he said, "Hey bud, we are going to be best buddies...I love you." then he kissed him...awwwww how much cuter can it get.

Getting his tan on!!

This is the life!

2009-04-23T17:32:00.000-07:00

Our little guy finally got to come home...after 12 very long days and nights the doctor called us and told us that Wyatt can come home...we were so excited!

We are so greatful for all of you family and friends and just want to say thank you for all of your prayers and support...we love you all!

2009-04-18T21:31:00.001-07:00

It is crazy how much Bridger and Wyatt look alike...Bridger (left) while in the hospital, and Wyatt (right) in the hospital.....they are definitely brothers!!!! And they look like their daddy.

Wyatt has his first bath!!

2009-04-16T09:29:00.001-07:00

Finally we got to hold our little guy. I was so excited I starting crying.

Life is rough when your so small!!!

yay!! no more c-pap!!!

2009-04-13T11:44:00.000-07:00

Wyatt is now breathing on his own!!!!

Baby Wyatt is here!!!

2009-04-12T11:20:00.000-07:00

5 lbs. 14 oz. 18.5 inches

Baby Wyatt made his grand entrance into this crazy world at 10:57 am

on 4/11/09

he was exactly 3 weeks early

his little lungs were not working well so they had to do a c-pap to help inflate them.

they also had to give him some medicine called surfactant a few times to help lubricate them.

he has been hooked up to all sorts of machines so I have not been able to hold him and its killing me!!!

Our little man is staying strong and hanging in there...
but if you would all keep him in your thoughts and prayers we would appreciate it!!!

Our Little Baby!!!

2009-04-04T08:15:00.000-07:00

Yesterday while I was making dinner I noticed that Bridger was being extra quiet, so I went to see what he was up to and this is how I found him....in the bassinet pretending to be a baby!

It seems like only yesterday he was a teeny-tiny little baby and now he is all grown up! I am not really sure if I should be worried about him wanting to be a baby again or if it is just normal..but we only have two more weeks until little Wyatt comes and I think its already starting to affect Bridger. He is going to be the best big-brother, but he is going to be a little jealous im afraid!

Another Update......

2009-03-03T12:50:00.000-08:00

I had a doctors appointment Friday and my blood pressure was up...big shock! So they had me do the 24-hr urine test and have blood work done for the second time in two weeks... I had to go back yesterday to talk about my results. So yesterday they diagnosed me with preeclampsia...yeah!!! Could anything else go wrong??? Anyways so now I have to go in twice a week to be checked and go to the hospital to have stress tests done to monitor the baby and do the awesome 24 hour urine test every week. I did get what I feel like is a little bit of good news, I get to have the baby on April 17th...a whole 2 weeks early! It could be sooner if I have anymore problems but as for right now I am okay with the 17th. We are hoping that everything goes okay and that we have no more problems.

Valentines Day with my Boys!

2009-02-16T09:37:00.000-08:00

So for Valentines day I took my guys up to Monster Jam!! Romantic I know!! At least they had the dirt painted with pink and white hearts.

Bridger had a good time despite the fact that he was looking like he had some horrible disease and did not feel very good.

Yeah even when he is sick he still knows how to be a goofball!!

A little update....

2009-02-13T16:13:00.001-08:00

I swear Bridger has been sick most of the winter with just about everything you can imagine. So last week I took him in to the doctor to have him checked out...come to find out he had a sinus infection, so the doc gave him a prescription for amoxicillin. Well with my luck, Bridger is allergic to the amoxicillin and has only got worse and broke out in a horrible rash. My poor little guy is soooooo sick and miserable. I feel so bad for him, and wish that I could just make it all better!

After I took Bridger in to the doc today I had a doctors appointment to have my blood pressure checked sinse it has been high for the last few weeks...no shocker, it was still high. So lucky me had to go to the hospital for tests and now I get to pee in a freakin jug for the next 24 hours. I sometimes wonder if I will ever want to have another baby after this because of all the fun things I get to go through. The doc told me today that from the way things are looking right now they will probably induce me a few weeks early...yeah!!!!!! That I am excited about=)

Hopefully the tests come back normal and this little guy can stay in and cook a little longer though..And hopefully Bridger can get better soon!!!

Happy Friday the 13th!!!!!!

My little Fish

2009-02-10T14:48:00.000-08:00

We took Bridger up to Salt Lake where My Brother and Sis in-law were staying for the weekend so Bridg could swim with the boys.

Here is Colton..they are all such little fish!

Gagers doing some underwater tricks!

Bridger loves his uncle Clint soooooo much!!!!

Uncle Clint was teaching Bridger how to keep his mouth closed when he jumped in and went under water...Bridger was concentrating so hard..it was so funny. I swear he has no fear when it comes to water..kinda scary but thank goodness for Clint being there to catch him.

Awww....I just love this boy soooooooooo much. He is seriously my best little buddy!

After the boys were done swimming they took a tub in the hotel room and just chilled on the bed watching spongebob and eating beef jerky.

Best buds...This is my nephew Gage. He seriously has the kindest heart ever..he loves Bridger and is so cute with him.

Sweet hair Gagers!!!!!

..a little guitar hero on Sunday with the Fam..

2009-01-18T19:16:00.000-08:00

Sunday Night We had my family over for dinner. Cole and I made a really yummy roast, twice baked potatoes and rolls..it was soooo yummy. After dinner we played Guitar Hero and it was so funny. Mom and Dad sang and Kenyon, Cole and Sash played the guitars...oh and of course Bridger danced. I got some of their sweet skills on video...but I will have to post that later.

Say Cheese!!!!!!

Our Friday Night.....

2009-01-18T18:44:00.000-08:00

Friday night Shayli and Kenyon came over for dinner. We had some good hamburgers then Cole and Kenyon played a littel Playstation while Shayli and I were entertained by Bridger..He Played in the tub and then Shayli read him some stories. (Bridger said this outfit he was wearing was his sexy outfit.)
Kenyon and Bridger!!

Shayli and Bridg Reading "Walter The Farting Dog" one of our favorites!

If you have not heard of these books I would recommend them...they are so funny!

Cole and Kenyon glued to the tv

Christmas Day

2008-12-25T19:58:00.000-08:00

Christmas morning we woke up at around 8 o'clock and it was all we could do to get Bridger to go downstairs to see what Santa had brought him. But once we finally got him out of bed and downstairs, he was excited. He got a kitchen and he loves it. I know it may be a little girly but hey some of the best chefs are men!Nice Cheesy Smile!!
After we opened presents at our house we made our way over to Bridgers Grandma and Grandpa Hansens for the traditional breakfast of crepes. Then we headed over to his Grandma and Papa Sundquists. He played with his cousins and Grandma and Papa. Then the next stop Grandma Larues house, and last but not least Grandma and Grandpa Collards. Grandma gave him snow clothes so Bridger tried them out and went out with his aunt Candice and aunt Whitney to build a snowman. We got Bridger all bundled up and he looked like the kid from The Christmas Story, especially when he kept falling down and couldnt get back up.. Before they went out they were rounding up some things to use for eyes, nose and mouth.. and yes my two year old son was sure not to leave out the snowmans "junk." He chose the perfect banana to do the job...they built their snowman and Grandpa Glade would only let Bridger leave the junk in long enough for a picture..I guess he was worried what the neighbors would think about their anatomically correct snowman???

I love the pictures of Bridger when he fell down and couldnt get back up...he was looking at me like help!!After Bridger was done playing in the snow we headed home for a much needed nap! When we woke up all of Bridgers Grandmas and Grandpas came down to his house to check out what he got...Thank you everyone for the gifts...I dont think there was a single thing he has not wanted to get out and play with...Now its time to put our house back together, Cole says it looks like Toys r Us,but hey thats just part of having kids!
So we hope you all had a great Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

Christmas is almost here..

2008-12-01T19:15:00.001-08:00

Saturday Bridger and I decided to get out the Christmas decorations and put them up. He had been sick and I think he was getting a little bored with laying on the couch so we attempted to get festive! He had so much fun decorating the tree even though most of the decorations ended up at his level and in a big bunch. I helped him just a little and we got the job done. He is so proud that he helped with the tree he wanted to call everyone he knows and tell them to come over to see it. Cole also put up the Christmas lights on the house which Bridger absolutely loves...

Just tonight when I turned them on Bridger went out and stood on the front lawn to admire them. I can not believe Christmas is coming so fast..it is one of my favorite times of the year.

He has the cheesiest smile..

Our finished product!

Good work babe on the lights!

Its a BOY!!!!!!

2008-11-16T19:43:00.000-08:00

So I could not take it any more and decided to go on my lunch break the other day and have an ultrasound done to find out what teeny-tiny is. Well we are not 100% sure but we think its a boy. Bridger is a little dissapointed that he is not getting his baby sister, but we are really excited to have another little boy. We only have one problem now, what names??? Cole has a name picked out that he really likes but I am not so sure about it, so I would love some suggestions if any of you have any please throw some out there. And we will find out for sure from my doctor on Dec. 23 that this is really for sure a baby boy, so we will let you know.

just a cute picture.

2008-11-13T18:14:00.000-08:00

funny boy..

2008-11-13T18:08:00.000-08:00

Cole made strawberry crepes for breakfast the other morning and let Bridger lick the beaters...I love his facial expressions, he is such a nut!

Our little dragon

4th picture tag!!

2008-10-17T19:56:00.000-07:00

I was tagged by Shan here is what you do... You are supposed to go to your fourth file and post the 4th picture in your file.

This is Bridger getting one of his very first haircuts!! I don't think he liked it too much. He still doesn't like getting his hair cut, I tried to cut it the other day and now he looks like Loyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber. He will not let me blend the sides in so he has a sweet bowl cut!!!

Anyways I tag..Shayli, Lacey, Ashlee, and whoever else wants to!

Bridgers Room

2008-10-12T11:05:00.000-07:00

The first picture of baby Wilson...

2008-10-06T19:21:00.000-07:00

We had our first real doctors appointment today and got to see our little teeny-tiny. When the doc did the ultrasound I swear the baby was waving to us...its little arms were just going crazy! It is so amazing that you can see this little miracle inside of you. But anyways everything looks good and is progressing as it should be.

Coles Friend Steve took a class on concrete counter tops and we decided to let him test out his skills on our kitchen ...
It took him and Cole three nights to do them.....
But they turned out awesome...thanks for letting us be your first job Steve!!!!

What a Nut!

2008-10-06T18:05:00.000-07:00

Bridger found Coles hat and sunglasses and was trying them on...he looked so funny and the faces he was pulling made him look even funnier!

CIRCUS TIME!!!

2008-10-06T18:00:00.000-07:00

My two cheeseball boys!!! (Cole looks like hes been smoking something)
We took Bridger to the Circus with some good friends of ours and he loved it! It was not as good as it used to be when I was a kid, but maybe thats because I have grown up!
The Elephants were Bridgers very favorite part.

And the tigers were mine!

Trip to the Cabin

2008-10-06T17:59:00.000-07:00

We took the kids up to our cabin with our friends Wes, Jenn and Dahlen and rode the rhino and 4-wheeler all over the place.

Cole had to switch the memory cards in his trail cameras so we did a little hiking too!
.....and a little carving in the trees.......
Thanks guys we had tons of fun!

Bridgers 2nd Birthday

2008-10-06T17:50:00.000-07:00

I am a total slacker and am just now catching up on my blog so here goes... Okay so this looks more like a block party than a two year olds birthday but what can I say we have a lot of family and friends.
Bridgers B-day cake..not what I ordered..thanks Baskin Robins!

Thanks everyone for coming and loving our sweet little boy!

Just a lttle update...

2008-09-18T09:32:00.000-07:00

So I went to the doctor this morning for a check up and got to see the babies heartbeats!!! okay just kidding, I did go to the doctor but there is only one baby in there and I did get to see its little heart beating away...it was such a relief. It was more of a relief seeing that there was only one baby in there. The doctor gave me my due date which is May 8th. I think I will be able to get a little bit more excited now that I know there is a little life in there...I would post the picture of our little thing but my computer is out of order because my house is torn apart right now, but I will post it later..

Happy 6th Anniversary Babe!!

2008-09-06T15:28:00.000-07:00

Today is our sixth anniversary and I just wanted to let Cole know how much I love him and appreciate him and everything he does for me and our family. We have had some good times and some not so good times but through it all we have grown to love each other more and more every day. Even though Cole is spending our anniversary out on Boulder Mountain with my dad It has been a great day knowing that I am married to a man who would do anything for his family, and a man that I am totally in love with!! (and as far as him spending our anniversary out on the mountain all I have to say is he better come home with a big deer!!)
I Love you Cole!!!

FINALLY...

2008-09-01T15:55:00.000-07:00

After 5 months of being on fertility pills we are finally pregnant!!!!!

Don't feel bad that we haven't called and told all of you- because of what happened with our last pregnancy we are trying not to get to excited until we know everything is okay for sure.

The scary thing is we conceived on fertility pills this time so who knows how many babies could be in there!!!! Anyway, we figure that most everyone who reads this blog are close friends and family and we just can't keep this from you all!!! So we are only 5 weeks along and figure we will be due May 2nd. Cole just knows its a girl, but we will just have to wait and see!!!!

Yeah for us!!!

Happy Birthday Bridger!

2008-08-02T22:00:00.000-07:00

My little man is turning 2!!!

These last 2 years have flown by so fast......

It seems like just yesterday we found out we were pregnant..we were so excited! After four years of trying we were finally going to be parents...The happiest day of our lives was the day that Bridger was born... and life just keeps getting better with him in it!!
From day 1 Bridger has been a good little boy....and also a very smart little guy...he has been talking since he turned 1 and has not shut up since...but we love it!!! He has a memory on him..sometimes we have no idea how he can remember some of the things he does...(sometimes not such a good thing, but for the most part its ok... )
For Bridger's Birthday we got him a "Big Boy Bed"! It was so hard putting it up, and taking down the crib because we realized that he was growing up and was not our baby anymore..it makes me want to cry just thinking about it! But we love every new day and all of the new things he says and does...(Well most of the things he says...he tends to have a potty mouth every once in a while...) But we are sooooo greatful to have him in our lives and look forward to watching him grow!!!
Bridger we love you!

Lake Powell...

2008-08-02T17:49:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I am a total slacker and have waited a few weeks to post these pictures...this was our trip to Powell with my family...Bridgers first time there and he had the time of his life!!!
We did a whole lot of swimming, cliff jumping, hanging out with the family, tubing, fishing, wake and knee boarding, and just having a good time!
Bridger had so much fun with his cousins...
I even tried out cliff jumping....not for me!!! Koda showed me up by jumping off a cliff that was about 20 feet high..his two brothers went and were a little nervous at first, but not him, he just went for it..what a Stud!!!
We had such a great time with our family and can not wait to go next year...thanks to my mom and dad for making it such a great trip!!!

Cameron and Savannah Sleep Over...

2008-07-21T20:24:00.000-07:00

Cameron and Savannah came and had a sleep over with us while Ash went to the Poison concert...we had a good time eating pizza and doing sparklers!!!

Bridger loves to hang with his cousins!!!

Fourth of July in Torrey

2008-07-21T20:20:00.000-07:00

For the 4th of July we went down to Torrey Utah Where my grandma and grandpa live...we had a great time shooting skeet, watching the small town parade, and just acting goofy! We got to spend some time with grandma and grandpa Hansen too which was good.

Oh Shit! It just locked itself!!!

2008-06-29T13:05:00.000-07:00

Saturday we decided to go up to the cabin for a few hours. When we got there we unloaded the four wheeler, and I got Bridger out of the car, shut the doors, and handed him to Cole. Just as I did that the car locked itself with the keys inside it(our car has a mind of its own lately)...so there we are just the three of us, the four wheeler..no food, no diapers and no phone service...and not to mention that we were supposed to be home by five to go to a friends blessing barbecue.

Luckily Cole had his cell phone in his pocket and had grabbed the camera or we would not have these pictures to go with our story...We headed up to the ridge where we can sometimes get phone service hoping to call on-star to unlock our vehicle...on-star was no help being that we were so far off the main highway and they could not pick up a signal from our car...So we went into Camp Shalom which is the next canyon over and asked if we could use their phone being that ours was not working very well and kept dropping the calls...unfortunately their phone was not working..so....we headed to the other side of the mountain where Cole's aunt and Uncle have a cabin, hoping they would be there to help...

When we finally reached their cabin and found that they were there, we borrowed their car and went into Fairview to look for a lock-smith, and with the four dollars that I had in my back pocket I went to the gas station and bought Bridger a bottle of water and a bag of chips. We found a lock-smith and had him follow us back up to the cabin where Cole and the lock-smith then took the four wheeler into the thick trees and on the muddy road to the cabin where our car sat....
At last they unlocked the car and Cole came back for me and Bridger at Chris and Harveys cabin. By that time it was late and we were all starving so Chris made us dinner...(They were truly our life savers!) After we ate dinner we headed back to our cabin where our car was, we loaded the four wheeler and headed home..we did not get home until about ten o'clock. In the chaos of everything we actually had a good time riding the four wheeler, looking for deer, eating snow in the middle of June, and just spending time together in the peaceful mountains..

.....in some strange way we really enjoyed it...

Night in Park City...

2008-06-21T13:53:00.000-07:00

Friday night we went with my whole family to Park City. We all just needed a night away, and figured we would go...

We bought Bridger this wet-suit with the floatation pads built in to it and he called it a "Bra"
Jas, Sash, Me, Bridg, Shay, and Kenyon hanging out in the hot tub.

Even Grandpa Sherm got in the hot tub

We swam in the 'tool' as Bridger calls it. He has absolutely no fear and was such a fish. I could'nt turn away for one second because he was jumping off the edge of the pool into the water.

Splish Splash Everyone In The Bath!!!

We stayed in the Suite in the Marriott Mountainside Resort in Park City...Our room had a huge tub in the bathroom so all of us girls (and Bridger of course) thought it would be fun to have a big bubble bath...we had a blast!

The Coaster Ride in Park City

2008-06-21T13:00:00.000-07:00

Right before Bridger and Cole started up the hill Bridger turned to me and said I am scared mommy..after a few minutes he was yelling woo-hoo! He had so much fun!

Orem Summer fest Fireworks

2008-06-18T14:13:00.000-07:00

Every year go watch the Orem Fireworks with my family...I wasn't really sure how Bridger would like the fireworks, but he thought they were really cool....He kept yelling, "shoot it, shoot it." I think he thought someone was shooting a gun somewhere with the loud booms...

Bridger didn't like it when I got in his way trying to take a picture...

We had to be sneaky to get this picture of Papa, he did'nt want his picture taken that night..

The whole Gang!

2008-06-11T19:28:00.000-07:00

Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby,

I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.

I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom I had never been puked on, Pooped on,

Chewed on, Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.

I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a

screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots.

I never looked into teary eyes and cried.

I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.

I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because

I didn't want to put him down.

I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.

I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.

I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.

I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.

I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.

I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom I had never gotten up in the middle

of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.

I had never know the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache,

the wonderment or satisfaction of being a Mom.

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

Sports Warehouse had a baby bear cub at their store one day so we took Bridger up to see it and hold it...it was only 6 weeks old....Bridger thought it was soooo cute. If only it could stay that small!

making muffins

2008-05-07T19:34:00.000-07:00

Bridger loves to help cook...he is quite the chef!

This morning he wanted to make muffins..so he climbed up on the counter and as I poured in the ingredients he stirred...They turned out so yummy!!!
