Randle, Melissa, Jesse and Lilie too!

Our Growing Family

2011-12-08T17:07:00.003-07:00

Baby B sleeping with it's back towards up. 15 1/5 weeks.
Baby A looking right at us. 15 1/2 weeks.

In September we found out we were pregnant. Yes, both Randle and I were shocked to find this out. My IUD was only out a week when this happened. I never worried about having another because of my fertility issues. But apparently I was wrong. I went for my first appt on Oct 3rd. The Dr could see one heart beat, but the fetus was so small he couldn't measure it to tell how far along I was. So we were guessing because it was so small still that I was approx 6 weeks. So we just scheduled my next appt for Novemner 7th. On November 7th I went in and took Jesse with me. He was excited to see the baby. Not only did we get to see the baby, but I was told there were TWO babies. Jesse was excited about two babies and I was in shock about it. I had to tell Randle over the phone because he was at work and was wondering how my appt went. He took it pretty well. But even if he didn't, he had 3 hours at work before he came home to mull it over. So by the time he came home he seemed alright with things. But I have my suspicions that he about had a heart attack when I told him. To bad I couldn't see his face though. On that visit I should have been 11 weeks by how my first visit went, but both babies measured 13 weeks. So my due date went from end of May to May 14th. I went for my 3rd appt on December 5th. Babies both were measuring 17 weeks, which is right where I should be. As of right now it looks like 2 sacs, but 1 placenta. We'll be able to tell if there is 2 placentas next month. It is easier to tell the bigger they get (that is what I am told anyway). The doctor did give me a guess on what the gender is, but he was not 99% sure for either baby. So I am not really saying what he said until I get a 99% sure. They are still small enough that he said he can not be for sure until next visit when I will be 22 weeks. I will post pictures later. So that is the update on our little family for now.

Our Crazy Wyoming Winter

2011-03-06T08:22:00.002-07:00

Just some photos of our crazy weather we have had this Winter.

Seriously Slacking!! A catch up of our Summer!

2010-10-27T16:41:00.008-06:00

October 2nd - Erik had been visiting with Virginia for a week at the end of Sept to the beginnig of October. We were able to spend Friday night and Saturday day with them. Jesse picked out a haunted gingerbread house out for Erik, him and GG to put together while we were there. This is the finished product. Then we ate it!

Labor Day Weekend around the train station in Evanston.

Labor Day Weekend Parade and Pancake Breakfast.
Jesse and I went to the parade Monday morning of Labor Day and watched the parade with our good friends Bonnie and Dustin and their family. Jesse got tons of candy and we got to see lots of things in the parade. We also went and ate at the annual pancake breakfast after the parade. Delicious!

Jesse at his first day of pre-school- I am so sad that he is old enough for pre-school. He was so happy to be there. He now asks me if he can go everyday! I am not ready for him to be gone everyday.

Uinta County Air Show - August 28th

Jesse and Danica House

Witch-A_Palooza Ocotber 22 at Garnder's Village in West Jordan
My Aunt Janine got us all tickets to go. Me, My mom, Jesse, Kylie, Amy, Desi, and Jessica all went. We had so much fun. There were witches everywhere. We did the dinner theater and watched wonderful actresses and a actor put a on a play while we ate. Jesse loved it! This was Jesse and mine's second year to go. I think it is a new tradition we will keep up.

I thought that I had more photos of what we have done this summer, but then I realized that I DID have more photos, but NO longer have them. In August, when Jesse and I was on one of our walks, we were looking at some of yarn left in the Ice pond to find chicken on them and crawdads on them. I leaned over a bit to much and my cell phone fell in the pond. Gone forever! No I did not dive in after it, the water was way too cold. By By phone, by by photos that were on it.
In July Jesse and I did lots of walks at the Bear River State Park. He loved watching for the Moose roaming around. He loves going and looking at all the buffalo and Elk they have there as well.
In August and September, Evanston had lots of activites for us to do. I took Jesse to the Uinta County Fair, we got to see lots of animals, a Extreme Canine Dog Show, which Jesse got to help with, Parades, Swimming in the River and making crafts. It has been a fun busy Summer!

Cousins - July 24, 2010

2010-08-15T16:36:00.002-06:00

Toby was trying to get Jesse, Camryn and Cheyanne out of his pool. The would hop out and he would hop in. When they would hop in with him, he would hop out and bark at them. See, Toby know that the pool is his and he didn't want to share. Toby doesn't usually like to share. But it was funny watching them go back and fourth, especially when more kids started getting in besides these three.

Uinta County Fair 2010 - EVANSTON

2010-08-09T16:21:00.004-06:00

Jesse and I went to the Uinta County Fair on August 5th. He finished using his tickets for the carnival rides that we bought the day before when we went with Hannah. But a storm blew in and it started raining and lightning, so we left. On the 5th, after the carnival rides Jesse wanted to check out the animals. He got his picture taken with a couple of them. I will also post the videos of him with some of them. He was so funny. We then watched the Stunt Dog Show at 6pm. He was waiting to see that all day. He had so much fun. He yelled and yelled when they asked for volunteers, and they picked him and two other girls. Hope you enjoy the photos and the videos.

July 24, 2010 - Fiesta Days last day of celebrations

2010-07-28T02:02:00.002-06:00

A fun day was ahead of us for sure. Parade, carnival, visit with GG, more family, yard care and things to do in Santaquin, more carnival to finish using tickets for rides and home. Here are some photos to show you our fabulous 24th!

Jesse and Cheyanne on a kiddie ride at the carnival. Now Jesse thought it'd be funny to rub his hand on the tire while the ride was going. He is lucky it goes slow, or it probably would have ripped his arm off. Yes, he is my "Dennis The Mennis!" If it moves or can be pushed, he'll touch it, he can't resist.

Camryn and Jesse on yet another kiddie ride. At least this one he couldn't get dirty on.

This ride he went on after the car ride with the tire rubbing and black hands as a result. After he had the tire rub his hand, which made it BLACK, he started patting his mouth making noises. So then he had a black ring around his mouth and nose. So this ride bring on water, Janine, my aunt, told him to stick his hand in the water and rub his face to get some of the black off. Ya, that didn't work. He used the same black hand to rub his face with water, which made the black go all over his face instead of just the mouth and nose. So this picture shows him in the process of wiping his own face off.

Okay, I got him off the water ride and helped him wipe his face off. Still dirty but no where near as bad as when he tried to do it. I got his whole face and head wet. It was super hot, so he didn't mind at all. He is definitely ALL boy!

And lastly, after we did the big parade, family lunch, carnival rides, to which was a little to hot and the seats to the rides burned the poor kids' legs, we took a break and headed to Santaquin to get the yard work done on the house. Jesse ran through the sprinklers while I mowed the lawn and took care of some things. Jesse watered the tomato plants, to which he found our first cherry tomato for the season. I can't believe how the 6 plants are doing for me only watering them once a week. Of course, Jesse begged to eat the first one and I let him. He was so excited. He does call it his garden. Jesse was so puckered out that when we got done with the yard work, he asked if he could sleep on our way to GG's house, a whopping 20 minute drive, but he was tired! We stayed and played with her for a couple hours then headed back to Spanish Fork to finish using the carnival tickets so we could go home. We were going to go to the rodeo with my friend Jessica, but Jesse decided he'd rather go home. Which I am glad, Jessica said a poor little calf got killed. Jesse wouldn't have liked to see that. He cries when I kill grass hoppers or spiders.
We had a fun busy weekend, but we both were so glad to be back to our Wyoming home.

First day of Fiesta Days!

2010-07-22T02:44:00.003-06:00

My mom decided she wanted to come pick Jesse up from me in Evanston and take him back to Spanish Fork so that her and my dad could take the grandkids to the first day of the Fiesta Days Carnival for $1 a ride night, family night. He was so excited that she was going to drive the two hours to come get him. Now he gets to stay with her until Friday night when I head down for the celebrations. I don't want to miss the parade on Saturday. Here are some of the picture my mom sent me tonight of him having a great time at the carnival. You can tell he is having a blast with Camryn and Cheyanne.

The workin man!

2010-07-12T00:44:00.002-06:00

Last week Randle was running late coming home from work. I had to be to work by 8pm. Since Randle was running about an hour and a half late, I had no choice but to take Jesse to work with me. He does love coming to work with me. I had to post this picture that I took of him. Because I work in a Laboratory and we play with blood, urine and feces, you always want to wear gloves and your lab coat. I will say that I do wipe down the counter tops multiple times during my shift, but you never know what is roaming around. It is a clean lab, no matter what you think. Not much was going on at work when we arrived. My friend Denise was working and I was her replacement. Nothing really came in for me to do the first little while, so I turned on my laptop so Jesse could play PBSkids.org. My friend Emily, and ER nurse brought me over a strep screen to do. These were Jesse's words:
Jesse: "Emily did you bring me work to do?"
Emily: "Yes I did. Are you helping mom tonight?"
Jesse: "Yes, and I have been waiting for work so I can help her."
Emily: "Well here you go."

I then told Jesse that if he truly wanted to help me, then he needed to wear a lab coat and gloves. Of course I don't have a lab coat xxx-small, so he wore my XL coat. I bunched the back of it up and tied it with a rubber band then found X-small gloves for him to wear. He looked so cute and he was so helpful to do things. He helped me rotate my blood samples for the day, watched me run the strep test. He looked at some CBC differential slides, asking questions of what the red ones were (red blood cells) and what the purple ones were (white blood cells). He then said, "Take my picture, I look like a doctor, like Grandma Jan. Send her a picture of me." So we did, along with a few other people. When Randle arrived at 9:30 pm to get him, Jesse answered the door to let him in and Randle said, "boy you really are helping mom aren't you?" Jesse: "Well ya, that's why she brought me, to help her!"
I just had to laugh. He wanted to stay all night with me but I told him he couldn't and had to go keep daddy company at the townhouse.

July 3, 2010 Hamblin Park

2010-07-04T13:45:00.003-06:00

This July 3rd was the day Evanston, Wyoming celebrated Independence Day. They had all the festivities at Hamblin Park. There were Bounce houses for the kids, a four wheeler pulling a kiddie train, live music, food, treats, dunk the Red Devil High School teams,saw dust hunt, family scavenger hunt, and Bingo. I took Jesse and my friends daughter, Danica. Jesse and Dani played and had so much fun. It was a nice warm day for them to play. Now I did make sure Jesse was lathered up nicely with sun screen, but I forgot one person, ME! Because it was a nice SUNNY day, my back, shoulders, chest and arms now look like a cherry. Aloe has been my best friend. Mindy lathered Dani up well too, so the two kids were fine. Just tired and exhausted from playing in the sun all day.

Then about 6 pm, we headed to Kay & Bill's house in Kemmerer for a BBQ and fireworks. The food was great and the fireworks were awesome. Jesse was waiting for Josh to light another one, when Jesse's patients was running out. He told Josh, "Hurry up, I'm bored!" The way he said it was funny, but we had to tell him that because we dont have special cannon's to shoot them out of it takes a bit longer between each firework. Needless to say, after each one lit, he jumped up to help Randle, Josh, Kaisha and their friend Dalton choose which one to light next. They all had fun.

Moved!

2010-07-01T12:17:00.001-06:00

To update our little family yet again, Randle was offered a job in Wyoming. When the news came, we were excited, yet nervous. We knew that if he didnt take the job we would still be going from pay check to pay check plus wondering if his pay check would be big enough to pay anything at all with it being commission based. Jesse was thrilled with the idea of daddy taking a job in Wyoming. His biggest thought was that if we moved he would see mommmy everyday again.
We waied the pros and cons, and guess what? We have moved to Evanston, Wyoming over the last couple of weeks. Jesse has stayed with me the last two weeks, minus the time with my parents while Randle has been taking his certification classes for the new job.
We are enjoying it, and with the 4th of July this weekend, we will be staying right here in Wyoming for it. Wyoming festivities here we come.

2010-05-17T00:45:00.002-06:00

I really don't need to explain this one much. This is the best sounds I could ever hear from my Jesse. I love him so! He is so ticklish that I love to make him laugh. It'll put on smile on your face even if your super sad.

Baking!

2010-05-10T03:17:00.002-06:00

Jesse and I decided to make Home Made Cinnamon Rolls on Saturday. We started about 9am so that we had the day to let them rise. Jesse's favorite part of making them is spreading the butter on the dough, then the cinnamon and sugar, then rolling them up. He just loves it! I had to take some pictures of him doing it.
After they rose for a few hours after rolling them up, we went to start baking them. Jesse went over to play with his cousin Braxton while I was baking them. I tried to get Randle's attention to back get Jesse with me when I was done baking, and this is what I found....

Yup! He and Lilie were asleep in the recliner. She woke up when I went to take their picture, but when she was sleeping, her body was curled up next to his body and the arm of the recliner. And he says he doesn't like the dog! Sure!

Happy Mother's Day to my mom, mother-in-law, sister-in-laws, grandmothers, friends, aunts and many others. I hope your days was as great as mine. I spent the morning with Randle and Jesse in Eureka as we took Grandma GG to the Elks Lodge for their annual Mother's Day Breakfast and program. We have been taking her for that last 7 years. On our way there, Jesse asked where we were going, I said, "To the Elks for breakfast. He said, "So do I get to shoot one their?" We all laughed, I don't think I've heard GG laugh that hard in awhile. I explained that it was called the Elks Lodge and that the only Elk they have their is all ready dead and hanging on the wall. He was OK with that, but it was sure funny at the time! We then headed to see Grandma JoseAnn, the Grandma Darla, and then to Grandma Janice's. We needed to get as much visiting done before I had to head to work. We made it home a little after 3 pm. Just in time for us to eat our Salisbury Steak we had put in the crock pot in the morning. Then I had to leave to come to work.
I love Jesse and Randle and am thankful for all Randle does. I love my little man more than anything. I hope everyone else had a great day~

I love these lyrics...Angels

2010-05-04T08:40:00.002-06:00

Angels-Sung by David Archuleta in Season 8 of American Idol

I sit and wait
does an angel contemplate my fate
and do they know
the places where we go
when we’re grey and old
‘cos I’ve been told
that salvation lets their wings unfold
so when I’m lying in my bed
thoughts running through my head
and I feel that love is dead
I’m loving angels instead

and through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether I’m right or wrong
and down the waterfall
wherever it may take me
I know that life wont break me
when I come to call she wont forsake me
I’m loving angels instead

when I’m feeling weak
and my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
and I know I'll always be blessed with love
and as the feeling grows
she breathes flesh to my bones
and when love is dead
I’m loving angels instead

and through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether I’m right or wrong
and down the waterfall
wherever it may take me
I know that life wont break me
when I come to call she wont forsake me
I’m loving angels instead

I took Jesse to see this movie today, Oceans. He absolutely loved it! If you have a child who loves animals, mammals or just plain anything that moves, they will love this. It is a documentary film, but very worth going to. Check it out.

Jesse's 4th Birthday!

2010-04-30T08:51:00.002-06:00

Jesse's birthday turned out great! He wanted a Madagascar Birthday Party, which was soooo cute! Even though the company didnt send me the amount of things I ordered it still turned out great! He picked his cake out and told me everyone who he wanted to invite, which I had to stop at some point. We ended up with 17 kids plus the adults here. All the kids had a blast playing the games, eating pizza, cake and ice cream.

WOW!

2010-04-30T08:04:00.004-06:00

Jesse and his new big boy bike he got for Christmas.

Well, I can't beleive that it has been since October since I have posted last. I guess with my working out of town and staying super busy when I am home, I have put this on my list of "it can wait for later".
A lot has happened since October. I still am working full time in Evanston as a Medical Laboratory Technition, Sunday nights to Wednesday nights. Jesse and Randle are doing great while I am gone. Of course they butt heads, they are too much alike, but the bond they have is closer now. Randle got laid off the Monday before Christmas, which was hard, but we managed. He recently has gotten a new job in Orem at A Auto Repair. So far so good. It has been good in a way for just having a job while many are still without one.
Jesse has gotten better at spelling his name, even though sometimes he gets his S's and Z's confused. He said to me today, "Yay! It's snowing! Maybe we can go sledding, huh, ya, lets do!" I had to explain that it's a Spring snow and would melt faster than we could make it somewhere to go sledding. Funny kid!
My goal now it to blog at least once a week. Let's see how I do.
I hope that everyone is well.

Happy Halloween

2009-10-29T02:11:00.002-06:00

This year for October Randle has completed a big project in our home. He has finished our rock wall and the installation of the wood burning stove, with the help of our Schwans's man, Rick, and Terry Branin. It looks great! I will post a pic later. Randle has already biult a fire in it most every night since it was finished. The first night was so funny because he closed the damper to far and the fire alarms went off in the house because of the smoke. You live you learn and that hasnt happened again. It sure does heat the whole house very nicely. Our next prject is going to be the laundry room and water heater.
For Halloween Jesse is being Wolverine, from X-men the cartoon. He picked it out himself. He got to wear it the the Witch-a-palooza at Gardener's Village a couple of weeks ago. He loved all the witches there, he even flirted with one of the witches that was in the show we watched with dinner. He wanted to follow her everywhere.
I am excited to take him trick or treating this year, since I have my witch costume as well. I love being able have these experiences with him.
My job is going well, I just hate being gone from Randle and Jesse 3 1/2 days a week. So I really enjoy my time at home. Randle's job is still going ok, and hopefully will continue to do so. We just keep our fingers crossed, but so very thankful that I have my job to help us out when times are slow for him.
I have started my Christmas shopping, which I think came way to early this year. But I am excited to see Jesse's face and be with all my family during the holidays.
To the start of the holiday season everyone, enjoy these times with you loved ones. Cherish all the moments. I am glad to have you as friends and family.

Our Busy Lives....

2009-09-18T08:44:00.004-06:00

Seems as the busier we get the less we do. Make sense, not really. Now that I am working a fulltime position in Evanston, being gone from Sunday night to Thursday morning leaves me little time to get things done at home. I prefer spending the time with Jesse and Randle than doing anything else. I am home for 3 1/2 days and gone for 3 1/2 days. The job is great and with being done with school the extra income with help us not be as strapped and finally get caught up. The time away from home sucks, but we are dealing with it. I talk to my guys every morning when I am getting off work and they are waking up, then sometime during the day after I have woke up then again at night when it is bed time. Jesse picks books out for me to take to work so that I can still read to him over the phone. He also has me tell him different stories to go with them or change them up using people he knows in the books instead of the book characters. He loves have his Uncle Jason in most of his stories, especially the skunk stories. And Jason is usually the one to get spraid by the skunk.
Our washer died on us last Friday night, so needless to say it was a better deal for us to buy a washer and dryer than just a washer. We got the LG brand front loading washer and dryer. They had a deal that if we bought the set then they were only $497 a peice in stead of $799 a peice, saving us about $650 by getting the set. Good thing I am working full time now, we wouldn't have been able to get them otherwise. They are really nice and Randle has actually been using them more than I have.
Jesse and I are taking Virginia shopping today then just spending the day doing things and she and I need to get done. Errands, ice cream, you know the fun stuff. Jesse just loves going to her house, plus when he calls her he keeps her on the phone for half hour or more talking her ear off. But all the kids love their GG, and she them.
Randle is also doing a great job at the rock wall he is putting up for our fireplace. After all the grouting is done between the rocks then Randle will start on the roof project to get the chimeny up and everything that goes with it.
So that is a little update from us. Hope everyone is well.

I will post more updates of the fireplace project as they come.

Bees

2009-08-15T18:09:00.003-06:00

I have taken a new job in Evanston at the hospital. It is thier Fulltime night shift running the lab. So far I have worked 3 weeks and am enjoying it. Jesse stays home with Randle, which has been really good for them to bond without me. My days off are now set. I work Sunday night to Wednesday night and when I get off at 6am I get to drive home Thursday morning. So I have all day Thursday off to Sunday at 3:30pm when I leave here to go back up to work.
This week while I was at work, Jesse, was at my neighbors, Cindy's. He loves it at her house. She watches Jesse every other week and my mom every other as well. He went to play in the jeep that they have, he always plays in it, and he ended up making some wasps very mad when he got in it. Cindy had no idea bees had made a home in the jeep under the dash. He was stung twice on the face, three times on his right hand and twice on his leg. I felt so bad for my little guy. Because I am allergic to bees, we were so afraid that he would be, but luckily he did not have any type of reaction, just a little swelling in the area of the sting. Now when we are outside and he sees a bee, he yells "ahhh a stinging bee" and runs to the house. I dont blaim him, I run too. He is pretty scared of them now.
We also went to Eureka today and had a really good lunch with Grandma GG. We took her some corn fresh from our garden as well as some fresh zucchini we grew.Plus we took her a fresh cantalope and tomatoes. Jesse has enjoyed growing the garden, he calls it his garden. We have been eating zucchini for over a month now and the corn is just starting to be ready. We took our first 6 ears off and shared it with Virginia today. It was also Eureka's celebration days too, so we took Jesse to see the train on Main Street and see the stands they had. We have had a good weekend with me being off and are planning on eating fresh tomatoes with dinner.
Now for the countdown...Only 6 days until Toby Keith's concert!!

It's been awhile...

2009-08-07T11:51:00.002-06:00

Randle, Jesse and I have had one busy and fast going Summer. Just like everyone else, things come and go. This has been our summer so far:
We got our pool put up the first part on June, for it to sit for a few weeks while we ordered a new pump. Once the new pump came, it has been fun swimming in. I have taken Jesse to the water park in Spanish Fork and also to the Dino Museum with his Grandma Jan. He loved it there.
Randle's job has kept us on edge wondering what will happen. In July I was offered a Full Time position at Evanston Regional Hospital. That was a tough desicion for me to make. It is the night shift which goes from Sunday night to Wednesday night. I would get to come home Thursday morning. With the economy the way it is and construction and excavation jobs still slow, both Randle and I felt that I was offered this job of a reason. I tried it last week and this week to see how it would go. Needless to say, I took the job. I will be getting better pay, steady and guaranteed hours, plus the benefits of vacation pay and insurance. Randle and I feel much better about me taking the job especially for the insurance. If for some reason Randle was to loose his job we would loose our insurance. Jesse and Randle are doing great while I am gone during the week. I talk to Jesse everynight before bed and during the day after I wake up. He loves for me to tell him stories about skunks and tigers. It is usually Uncle Jason who is in the stories and the one who gets sprayed by the skunk.
Our garden is coming along great. Our corn is just about ready to be picked and the tomatoes are starting to go red. We have enjoyed our Zuchinni's and we have cantalopen and watermelon that should also be ready to eat soon.
We had a great trip to Logan last weekend, where my cousin Nate and his new wife Mindy were married. It was up Logan Canyon at a beautiful camp ground.
We have taken Jesse to the Spanish Fork Fiesta Days festivities as well as some of the Santaquin Onion Days festivities.
We are also in the process of rocking the wall in our front room so that we can get our wood burning stove in before this Winter. It has been a large project since we dont know what we're doing.

I hope everyone has enjoyed there summer too! Hopefully we will have a couple more months of nice warm weather. I am not ready to take the pool down yet.

Well, I have great news to share. I finally finished school. I will be getting my diploma soon with the degree called Medical Laboratory Technition. I am super excited to let you all know this. I have worked on this for the last 4 years and am glad to be done.
Jesse has been great! He has enjoyed helping us get our garden ready and helping me get things set up for GG's 80th birthday party. We have just about everything set up to go for it, now just the final touch's that can't be done until the special day. And Virginia is super excited too! She even has some relatives coming from Kansas!
I have been working more in Evanston, which has helped out families income out a lot. They offered me a position working weekends, which I took. This month I am doing a lot of training and working extra hours to be able to run the lab with just me and a phlebotomist. I have been concentrating more in Microbiology ready the culture plates and I am getting much more confident in myself as I do it. It was alot to learn and bugs are always changing.
One week while Jesse and I were up in Wyoming, he came to work to visit me. I let him swab his hands and then we incubated it over night. Needless to say he now does not argue with me when I tell him to wash his hands. They were nasty! He thought it was a cool experiment. I think I will have to do that with my four neices so they can see. I know that Addison would love it!
Randle is still working with the excavation company and we are thankful that he has a job. He still is enjoying it, and we just hope it picks up over the summer.
I hope all is well with everyone. Hopefully I will post more often now that school is over.

Disneyland 2009

2009-03-28T12:47:00.004-06:00

I just wanted to share some of the photos that I took during our two days at Disneyland. We all had a blast except for the way busy day on Sunday! It was super crowded. Jesse got to see Goofy on Sunday, which was the best part. We finally found him after a day and a half of looking. It made Jesse's day! He loved Minnie and Mickey and Pluto too! The only bad part was that Jesse started getting a fever early Sunday morning, but as long as we kept the Motrin in him he was fine. He was able to enjoy himself and so did we. Next time we go back, he will be at least 45 inches or taller, that way he can ride all the rides.
We are so thankful that we were able to see all Randle's family in the area. Lee and Jeannie, Erik and Nikkie, David and Rita, Mark, Cristina and baby Bela, Margie and Jerry and Lesley and John. It was so much fun, the weather was great and I can't wait to go see them again!

Jesse's Party!!

2009-03-17T09:49:00.002-06:00

We had a little party for Jesse on Saturday the 7th of March with all his little cousins. He had so much fun! This year was a lot funner than last year in the sense that he was so excited to see his cousins and open his presents. He got a lot of money this year, he was telling people that is what he wanted, but he called it his "Shamu Money". I will post pics of our California trip and you can see how much fun he had.

Hard Times but Good Times...

2009-03-05T10:52:00.003-07:00

Well this year had been kind of rough, but yet still has had it wonderful moments. My hard times have been turning 28. I dredded turning 24 and now just 28! I keep thinking, if I feel this way at 28, how will I feel at 68? I hope at 68 I am dancing Salsa and am active as ever! I have alot to be thankful for. Randle and I both still have jobs, which so many are out of these days. The hospital in Evanston where I work has cut everyones hours becuase of the slow time of year, no body wants to meet their copays again! I know I dont! I can still go up everyweek and work, they have just limited me to 16 hours a week, which I am lucky is better than ZERO! So in order to save money and watch more of what we spend, I have been making homemade bread every other week, so if any of you home make anything else that could help save money, please share!!
Last week Jesse was sick, with what seemed like food poisoning. This week I have been sick. Of course I got sick over the weekend and didnt want to go to the ER, (dredded copay) so waited to call the Dr. on Monday. I had the nasty respiratory bronchiolitis, sorethroat and could not breathe. Jesse was so sweet, he laid with me on one side and Lilie on the other side with three quilts on top of me. They were both trying to keep (or should I say GET) me warm. Everytime I would cough he would kiss me on the head and ask me if I was alright. He treated me like I treat him when he is sick. He was so gentle and kind. Now that I am feeling much better, minus the cough that everyone stays with you for weeks, we are getting ready for Jesse's b-day party this Saturday. I didnt mail out invites, because, well, I didnt fell good. So I am just letting everyone know you are welcome to come over for cake and ice cream. We are just keeping it to that because we have saved to take Jesse to SeaWorld and Disneyland for his birthday. We fly out the 12th of March to Orange County. We will then drive to San Diego and stay with Randle's cousin Lesley. On the 13th ( Jesse's b-day) we are spending it at SeaWorld. I have got on there webiste and shown Jesse the dolphins and shamu. My mom printed a pic out of Shamu so that he knew about him. We will then spend the 14th, 15th, and 16th with Lee and Jeannie, Randle's aunt and uncle in Covina and do Disneyland the 14th and 15th. I am hoping that we can take Jesse to the Ocean before we come home. I think he will love it. I will post pics when we get back. We are all so excited, except Randle, he hates Disneyland. I think otherwise this year, I think he will have more fun with Jesse this time.

I hope that you are all well and doing great! Here are some pics that I took for fun of Jesse yesterday...Enjoy! He also loves having pics taken with Lilie!

....Long time....

2009-02-15T12:36:00.004-07:00

Well since it has been awhile since I have posted I thought that I would give you an update. I have still been driving to Evanston everyweek and it is going well. Jesse got to stay with Randle last week while I was up there for three days. They did great together. Jesse only asked for me a handful of times, other than that he didnt mind that I was gone for so long. Here are some photos that I took the other day of Jesse and Lilie. They were having so much fun playing together and Jesse was letting her give him kisses. It got funnier when Lilie would try and tackle Jesse. BTW, he calls her his "Big Sister!" I think it is cute.

Another update...We are taking Jesse to Disneyland and SeaWorld in California on March 12th. His 3rd Birthday is the 13th of March, so we will spend that day at SeaWorld. We are so excited. We have not been on a family vacation in I dont know how long...Well that is if you dont count our trip to Reno to see Grandpa John. We are flying there, the 9 hour drive to Reno was enough, I would rather fly next time.

Our power went out last Saturday night and we were finally able to get it back on on Wednesday this last week. We only had power in certain rooms, which was really weird. Come to find out, it was due to a cable or power supply of some sort underneith the house. Jesse was happy to have power back on in his bathroom.
I hope that everyone is doing well. Enjoy the photos.

Jesse & Lilie playing

little beauties...

2009-01-30T11:29:00.003-07:00

Well, my sister-in-law Kim came over the other day to get some Mary Kay supplies and she brought the girls, Camryn & Cheyanne. They were so excited to play with Jesse. When they seen us looking at Makeup the girls wanted me to make them up. So here are some photos after I got done putting makeup on them. Jesse wanted to put some on too, so I let him put on the clear lip gloss. I thought that was safer for when Randle came home.

Evanston Trip

2008-12-31T15:33:00.002-07:00

Well as some of you know, I am going to be working more. I have decided that I will be heading to Evanston again every week for two days a week. It will help out income out a bit. But when Jesse and I headed up there on Monday the 29th, Jesse got to spend the day with his Aunt Kay and cousin Kaisha. He had the best time, not only did Kay of course spoil him to death, but Jesse found him a little girl friend about his same age. Her name is Emalin. She shared his blanket and his little couch with her. And when she asked him for a kiss, he gave her one, and without saying anything about getting girl cooties from it. He liked her alot. He also had fun with Kaisha. For the most part he would just call Kaisha "Her" while I was around. But they had a blast. I am hoping to go and see there new house soon. It is pretty bad that My two year old has seen it before I have.
Happy New Year everyone!!

We spent lots of time with the family. Jesse attached himself to Erik, which was great! He always wanted to sit by Erick and wanted to know where Erik was all the time. I had to get pics of them together...Jesse's new buddy! He loved talking to everyone, and we all had a great time.

Thanksgiving and Reno

2008-12-16T10:20:00.002-07:00

Well, I havent posted lately, mainly due to school work, traveling and kids. I finally have a minute to let you know that we have had a busy month. We went to St. George for Thanksgiving with Virginia, Les & Valerie and their kids, Lee & Jeannie, Nikki and Erik. We were invited by Louis and Brooks to come and spend the holiday at their place. We went for 3 night and 4 days. It was nice to see all the family again and let the kids play together. After Thanksgiving dinner we played bingo, with fun prizes. It seems to now be a tradition when we get together to do it. We all love it. We then traveled home and was home for a week and a half before we then again traveled to Reno, Nevada to see Randle's dad John. Jesse and I have never been there and the last time Randle was out there was when he was a teenager. So it was good to go. It took us 9 hours to get out there on Thursday. We went to the Nevada State Railroad Museum on Friday, then to lunch, then to John and Laurel's place to visit. We had a little Christmas while we were out there. We each opened gifts and John & laurel had a great time watchin Jesse open his. He got some play food, a treasure chest that a day later was accidently thrown off of the 4th floor of our hotel by him experimenting, to which now is in two peices instead of one, clothes, cars, and a bubble gum machine. He loved everything.
Saturday, Randle went with John to load tables and chairs while Virginia, Jesse and I stayed in teh hotel. They were gone longer than we expected, so we werent able to go and do much until we went to Laurel's daughters for dinner. After dinner Randle and I decided since Jesse was cooped in the hotel most of the day that we would take him to Circus Circus to play games. He loved it. He got 440 tickets, to which he picked out a gun and 40 tootsie rolls.
We headed home Sunday about 11, after having breakfast and saying our goodbyes. We got home alittle over nine hours later. IT was fun, but we are glad to be home. I sure missed my bed. I will post pics in a bit.

Vegas & The PBR!!

2008-11-12T17:25:00.003-07:00

Well, thank you to some of our friends, Jason & Tammy Branin, we were able to attend the Saturday night event at the Thomas & Mack Center in Vegas to watch the PBR. It was awesome. We got to see the World Champion for 2008 win it that night, Guilherme Marchi, it was an awesome night. Randle and I hoping that we will be able to attend next year. With all the excitement and the crowds cheers, it was just great!
Jesse went down with us, and grandma Jan kept him company while we went. He figured out that if he put a bucket upside down he was high enough to slide down what she called her "fireman pole", or what Randle calls, "The stripper pole"! He loved jumping on her little exercise trampoline and reading books that she had there. They had a busy night, and she wore him right out. Thanks Jan for watching him. And thank you Jason & Tammy for inviting us to go!

Halloween 2008

2008-11-04T10:05:00.004-07:00

Well, These photos show what Jesse was for Halloween, Thomas th Train. I took these photos on the Saturday before Halloween, we went Trick or Treating down Spanish Fork Main Street, then we went to the Legacy Center in Lehi with my Aunt Janine. Jesse was able to go with most of his smaller cousins on my side of the family.

Bean Museum

2008-10-18T11:22:00.004-06:00

Jan was in town and decided she wanted to take the kids to the Bean Museum on Tuesday. So I shot a little video with my smaller camara and this is it: Also I have attached some pics that I took of them too.

Fight with a wrench and lost!!

2008-10-17T20:57:00.002-06:00

As for most of you, you know my husband very well. You know that no matter what he does he is accident prone! Whether it is snowmobiling, skiing, four-wheeling, working, whatever....he is accident prone. Well he usually comes home with tissue missing from his knuckles or gooseegg bumps on his head from smacking it on heavy equiptment, but today he came home with a black eye and small cuts around the eye. When he called me this morning and asked me if it was normal for the surrounding of an eye to bubble up after smacking it, I got concerned. The pics I have posted do not give the bruising justice because of the flash, but like I said.....He got in a fight with a wrench and The wrench won!!!

Man...That had to have hurt!!

Martha's Retreat!!

2008-10-12T14:05:00.003-06:00

Every year Martha holds her Raile Area Retreat, this is my second year going. It was of course just as awesome as ever. I met new ladies who have joined and became consultants and also a dear friend of mine who became a constultant just a couple of months ago, Laurie. She was in the top 10 for most all the area rewards and recognition. She was so cute and you could tell she enjoyed All of it!! I know I did. Martha, all the directors, and Martha's husband all prepared our dinner Friday night, it was awesome!!! I cant describe everything, but the training was great and the motivational speaker, Future Executive Senior Sales Director, Michelle Brooks. She was Fabulous and I will never forget the things she told us and encouraged us to become!!! Dream Big and Believe in yourself....

Isnt she glowing...She was in the top 10 for most all the areas!!
Laurie and I hangin out at the hotel!

Jesse & Lilie

2008-10-06T11:19:00.003-06:00

He just loves this dog! We argue over who's dog she is. I say she is mine and Jesse says she is his.

Lilie does love Jesse, but some days I think she can live without him. He does like to tourment her, he also loves to push her in the stroller.

You gatta love this face!!

2008-10-06T11:14:00.002-06:00

Well the same day the the kids played with the powder, Jesse and I was in his room wiping things down, when I had to take a phone call. When I came back into the bedroom, his face looked like this!! He got ahold of one of my sample Mary Kay Emollient Night Creams and said that he had a rash on his face and it needed lotion. Kids!?!

What a Mess!!

2008-10-06T10:55:00.003-06:00

Well just a quick post, I just wanted to add some photos of what the two kids did last Tuesday. About 20 minutes before Les was to arrive to pick up the girls, I went in the bedroom to check on the kids. They had been playing in Jesse's room like normal, when I opened the door and everything was white. The kids were white, the bed was white, toys, carpet, tv, both dressers and the VCR, white, white, white. I was a little frustrated with the kids and made them sit in time out while I got the bigger toys out of the room so I could clean them, then I made them go and pick up all the other toys, and they both had to vacuum half the room. I am still finding powder on the walls and of course that is still in the carpet. It will be along process to clean. I know that later on in life I might think of it being funny, but between both the kids, I dont think they will do it again. They both got in trouble for it, and still not knowing who started it, you can tell by the photos that they both had a great time!

Gagoon!!!

2008-09-30T12:54:00.003-06:00

Well, we went to Lagoon on Sunday. Jesse absolutely loved it. He was tall enough to go on 4 of the adult rides, which meant that Randle and I wasnt able to go any of them with the two of us (the roller coaster rides). We would have had to gone on them by ourself, which is not that much fun, so one of us could stay with Jesse. But we did have a great time. They have this ride call the dino-drop and it makes your stomach fall. Jesse had a ball. He wanted to keep going on it. Randle and I took him on it twice. He also loved the TidalWave, where if you have never been, it is a boat that rocks you back and forth. The first time he went on it, he had the look of death on his face, but when it was time to get off, he asked to get back on. We waiting an hour or so and took him back on it, this time, he laughed and raised his arms with Randle. We also took him on the scrabbler and the Tilt-o-whirl. I think my child is pretty brave for two years old. He loves all the rides that made his stomach drop.
We took a cooler and made sandwhiches, that way we didnt have to pay the high price for food. We had a great time. Jesse kept calling it the big carnaval. When we finally got it in him that it was called Lagoon, he pronounced it "Gagoon"...Until next time.

Toby Keith

2008-09-21T15:47:00.002-06:00

Well, Last night was the big night!!! Randle and I went to the Toby Keith concert at the USANA Amphatheater in West Valley. It was such an awesome concert. I am posting the photos so you can see....AND TOBY...What a HOTTIE!! Randle and I had a great time. My brother, Jason, he came and sat with us for a bit, we also saw Tawnie, a friend of the family, there too, she was just two rows in front of us. We all had a great time and I cant wait for him to come again. Our seats were 11 rows back from the stage. We were able to see everything. There were three new comer bands that played before Montgomery Gentry. I dont remember all there names, but the Trailer Choir, I liked alot. They sang a way funny song called "beer gut". I hope you enjoy the photos.

Lilie has a boyfriend

2008-09-16T10:24:00.003-06:00

I just had to post this. This little dog keeps coming over to our house and visiting Lilie. She loves it and cries at the back door everytime he comes over to go out and play with him. I think he lives in our neighborhood, because he comes so often. He hasnt came in the last week though, I think his owners finally put him on a thicker leash, the last one he chewed through.

Labor Day

2008-09-16T09:50:00.005-06:00

We went up to Mt. Pleasant for Labor Day and spent the day with my family. My parent, earlier this summer bought some property up there so that they would have some where to camp and not have to fight for a spot. They bought 5 acres and have been going up every weekend for a while getting camping spots made and putting a road in. It is a nice get away place. We went for a 4-wheeler ride for about 3 hours. We loved and and Jesse did too. I got some great photos of the view from the top of the mountain we rode to, as well as some of their property.

Virginia Sperry Randle

2008-08-24T19:31:00.002-06:00

On Saturday the 23rd of August, we held the funeral services for Virginia Randle. We got togerther as family and friends and celebrated the life that she had and talked about all the lives that she touched. She new many people in her 92 years of life.
She passed away on the 18th of August peacefully. Randle, Jesse and I met with the family on Friday the 22nd to visit and talk about great memories that we have of her. We got to visit with Aunt Margie and her kids, Leslie and her husband John, Mark, David and his wife Rita. They are all wonderful people and We cant wait to visit with them again soon. I have posted some photos that I took from Friday night and Saturday at the luncheon after the funeral. We also went to dinner at Dalton's in Payson as a family. They have wonderful food and I was able to get a picture of Margie's family, along with my son jesse with them as well. He sure loved them. And by the time we had to say goodbye, he knew all there names and would laugh, play, and tease them. And I think they all like him just as much.
To you Margie, Leslie, Mark, David, John & Rita, thank you for making Randle, Jesse and I feel welcomed to your family, even though we are extended cousins in the line somewhere, you made us feel right in the pack with you all. And I cant wait until we can come and visit each of you in San Diego.

Rodney Carrington

2008-08-17T15:16:00.004-06:00

Randle and I were able to go to the Rodney Carrington show on Saturday night out in Wendover. My parents were originally going, but they ended up having a ton of stuff to do at there property, that they asked if we wanted to buy there tickets. Well if that was a no brainer with my husband. He wanted to go so bad, and really only for one song..."Show them to me..." If any of you have ever been to a Rodney Carrington show or listened to one of his CD's or watched a DVD you know what I am talking about. For you others, you may or may not like him.
We had a wonderful time. I would have took pictures, but there was NO photography of any kind allowed during his show. So I took a couple photos of the surroundings and on our way there.
We definately will be going again next year if he comes back.
You can check out his website at www.rodneycarrington.com.

Barb's 60th Birthday

2008-08-15T10:37:00.003-06:00

While I was in Evanston we had a Birthday Party for Barb. I made a cake out of my Apple Box oven that I learned to do from church, and we had a BBQ. It was a great turnout with only one minor accident with the kids. Dixie's little boy had cut his forehead open and bleed like no other. But we all know that head wounds bleed the worst. The cut wasnt to bad. Other than that and my child thinking he could just drop his pants and pee where ever he was standing brought quite a laugh to everyone. As the pictures I have to post with this you will see. As I call them "Blackmail Photos" when he gets married.
It was a wonderful night and everyone had a blast.

Wiped Out!

2008-08-12T18:06:00.003-06:00

Well today I had my neices, Addison & Payton. It was a good day. They got along for the most part and really enjoyed each other's company. They had a ball playing outside and of course watching Sesame Street when it came on at 1:00. The one thing that they refused to do was take a nap. Hopefully Addison does well tonight at her parents soft ball game.
Jesse tried to keep going after Les came and picked up the girls, but he just couldnt fight those tired eyes any longer. He finally crashed. I hope that you enjoy the pics that I took of the kids today. And the one of Jesse...wiped out!!

Payton, she is climbing and walking around things, like the couch. Addison and Jesse love playing together and love trying to get the attention when I am doing something with Payton. Kids!!! Gotta love em!

2008-08-12T12:42:00.001-06:00

Photo's that I have taken over the past few years

2008-08-11T18:00:00.002-06:00

These are some of the photos that I have taken for myself and for other people. I just wanted to share them with everyone.

Happy Birthday to you MOM on the 10th!

2008-08-08T22:02:00.004-06:00

I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my Mom, who will be yet again 29 years old on the 10th of August!!

We know that you will have a great day. We love you dearly.

My parents have bought some property up in Mt Pleasant and they have been going up there every weekend getting the trees plowed and camping spots made.

It is in a great area and a great place for the family to get together.

Jesse's 2nd Birthday

Jesse's Aunt Diane, made the most perfect cake for this special little boy. A tractor. Jesse just loves them and his Grandma Jan gave us the cake pan for Christmas. He had a wonderful birthday. All of our friends and family came, we had an Easter Egg Hunt for all the little kids, had a BBQ and had cake and ice cream. Thank you to all of you who made this a great day for him!
