The Whatcott Family Stories

Sledding

2012-01-19T20:13:00.000-08:00

We finally got some snow a few weeks back and took the kids sledding. This year we had a real sled, if you don't remember last year Travis took a little plastic swim pool for them to use.

Tea strutin the snow pants, they where way to big and made her a little tipsy.

Tea loved to go down, I went down once with her and let Travis take over.

It was like the Christmas Story all over again when ever she fell.

She probably would have lasted all day if we weren't all cold and wet. The boys crashed that night, it was a lot of work to get back up the hill.

Christmas in North Carolina

2012-01-19T20:08:00.000-08:00

We had such a nice week in North Carolina before Christmas, It was so fun to be there on Christmas too! This is baby Jesus and by Hudson and Remy in John the Babtist. They are a few of mine and Beths old dolls and we have had them out for Christmas for as long as I can remember.

Tea had a fun time with all the different head bands to put on.

The kiddos get to open one present on Christmas eve which are always some new pajamas.

Tea loved to sit on this present, here she is being a little reindeer.

All the kiddos in there new pajamas

We acted out the Christmas story the best we could, here is Parley as the donkey, Tea as Mary, and Remy as Joseph.

Here are the three kings bringing, gold, frankincense, and "panths"mers. Haha Grandma is so creative.

Christmas morning, the kids were so excited to see what santa brought them. Remy actually went down with out me knowing and came up to tell Hudson that is way way funner down stairs with the new toys! Little stinker! Remy got a marble works and was so happy! Tea enjoyed it as well, Remy was patient and shared.

Hudson got a Knex set, it surprises me how much he can build with out any help! He is growing up so fast!!!

Tea got a stroller for her doll and a new dress for her doll. It is so fun to have a girl and see them getting into the baby doll phase.

Hudson got Remy a light saber and Remy got one for Hudson. They were both so excited to get one!

My brother Parley is engaged Erica who we love, she sent some presents for the kiddos and got Tea a cell phone. It was her favorite! She would walk around talking on it, I wonder where she learned that so young?

Her she is texting all ready! This is what we have to look forward too.

Christmas Day already for church, Grandma Ging and Grandpa Jed gave Tea her pretty dress and the boys some new Church shirts and ties before we left to NC.

Tea trying to attack Papa with the flower!

This is the best we could get!

Remy.... He was trying to pick a flower and instead under estimated his strength and pulled out the whole plant, haha we all had a good laugh.

It has been so nice to have my sister Bethany at BYU this year! I got to be the mom and help her move in and it is so fun to see her more! I can't wait until my Momma gets home (and dad):) in July! We have missed them and still feel a little home sick with out them here with us since we moved back! Less than 5 months and only 4 transfers to go!! Sorry dad I am counting! Hudson asked " does Grandma and Grandpa get home July 1st or 2nd "? We still don't know its now kinda a family joke!

Uncle Par worked for scholastic and bought my kids so really fun books for Christmas. Grandma reading a few of them, doesn't Remy look like the Grumpy Cat?

Tea trying to eat Grandmas toes!

Hudson had to go potty and of course mentioned it after we passed the exit with the gas stations right of the freeway. We took the next exit in a small town of Blackwater Missouri and hoped we could find a bathroom. We drove for a few miles before coming to a tiny main street. They had some cool little shops and we stopped in one and all used there potty, we bought the kids each a little something because we felt bad to just use the Restroom. The man had a sweet handlebar mustache, I wish we could have got a picture. This was painted on a little garden courtyard they had. It ended up being a nice little detour!

Drive to North Carolina

2012-01-15T15:34:00.000-08:00

This is what the GPS said when we left Logan to drive to NC to suprise my mom for christmas. We told my dad around Thankgiving and he was able to keep it a secret, along with all of us who almost sliped up a few times. We took Bethany and Parley with us and told them they could only come along if they still would like us and the kids after the long adventure.

On the way there we layed down the seats and tried to drive threw the night, it was a good idea just hard to do with Tea being so young. We finnaly got her asleep around 11, all the kids slept and me and Beth had a hard time. We were supposed to be the replacment drivers. We stopted to get gas around 2 in the morning and Hudson woke up and threw up, along with Travis who started to feel sick. By 2:30 Tea was awake and thought we were having a party, she was smiling big and chatting. By then I was tired and had enough and we decided to pull over and get a hotel. It didn't take us long to be in bed! On the way home we decided to stay three nights and drive during the days and that worked better.

The kids did so good, I didn't have high expectaions but they did awesome. It was me that had to take a few deep breaths!

When we would stop for gas we would all get out and get some wiggles out!

Travis enjoying the break from driving, he was a driving machine! He drove all the way home! Crazy, I am pretty sure he just liked that he could put in ear phones and listen to his book and not have to worry about feeding and entertaining everyone. When we arrived we planed a head of time with my dad that he would go to the bathroom so my mom would have to answer the door. We put my kids on the door step and knocked. When she opened the door she was so shocked, she was so suprised she just knelt down to hug the kids and cried and cried. I had to tell Remy that Grandma was okay that they were happy tears. She had no idea! It was the best suprise, Christmas ever. We got there a week before Christmas and left the day after Christmas. The weather was so nice in the 60's.

Enjoying the weather, eating a stick!

Tea loves blueberries, I made the mistake of letting her have to many. That was a scary diaper, a mistake I won't make again.

Playing some basketball at the mission home.

Remy Birthday

2012-01-15T14:54:00.000-08:00

Remy Jack turned 4 this week, were has that four years gone? This year Remy wanted a Daisy dog cake I did my best to make it look like a bassest hound he loved it.

Remy was so excited when he opened his card from Grandma Lil and Papa Lindz and he had a git card to go buy a toy. He had a fun time picking out something and buying it with his card.

Cute boy, during the winter I often refer Remy to my little Puerto rican because he is always saying he is so cold. Poor kid was born in the warmth and lived there long engough to get used to the heat. We are so grateful to have him in our family. He is our goofy, boy. We always get a good laugh with his silly faces and things he says. He is very sweet to everyone around him and his teachers love him!!!

Having the first bite, a tradition we started a year ago!

Tea wanted a bite too! And because she is cute and say's please so nice she got her way!

Then we had to let Hudson try!

Tea enjoyed her piece of cake, her and Remy loved it when I gave her them the beaters from the frosting earlier that day! I had to wait to frost the rest of the cake when she was napping she was a little to helpful.

We skyped with my parents while we did presents and cake, I can't wait until they get home in July!!!

We found a little tramp at a sports store by our house that was on sale for cheap. We thought it would be fun to set up in the boy's room during the winter and set it up out on the patio in the summer. Travis set it up in there room while they were asleep so Remy would be suprised when he woke up. He loved it! He jumped for about a hour then said " I am starving lets eat breakfast".

Camera Clean Up

2012-01-15T14:14:00.000-08:00

Cheeeesse! Travis put some bubbles in the jet tub after Tea got for the boys and she ended up joinging them. They all had a fun time, Hudson said "this is the best day ever"!

The water was only a foot deep but the bubbles where two feet deep, it made it a little scary when Tea went down you had to fish her out fast.

On Remy's last day of school this is how he came home.They let them face paint there own faces, he told me he was a tiger.

Aunt Beths party

2012-01-15T14:01:00.000-08:00

We had Aunt Beth up at our house foro the Thanksgivng break. I was bad about taking pictures at thanksgiving, we had a nice time with the family. We had it at our house and had my siblings and Travis family up. Beth's birthday was the monday after so we had a party for her!

This is Tea's new smile face, big cheese.

Oh man this was a really sad day!!! We just moved a few weeks ago and we couldn't keep Dasiy, we found a good adoption agency that we could give her to and that made us feel a little better. It was so sad to tell the boys and have them say good bye! She was such a good dog and I can't wait to get them a new dog when Travis is all done with school and we are setteled in a few years.

Tea studying with Travis for finals! I found this chair on ksl for a good deal and she loves it.

Tea is growing up so fast. She reminds me of Hudson, she is so busy and loves to climb on everything! We love having this sassy girl in our family, it sure keeps me extra busy! She is saying a few words now, Mom, Dad, Plesse(please), chanch you( thank you), Me, my show, and teya jo(tea jo).

Happy Halloween

2011-11-03T15:59:00.000-07:00

On saturday Travis raked all the leaves into a huge pile by the tramp and the boys had a good time jumping in them.

I thought the beard was bad, then he shaved it into this I am sure just to bug me and it worked I had to live with it for a few days.

Already to go trick or treating

Halloween dinner, blood soup, hot dog mummies, monster brains and swamp water.

Notice the freaky guy to the right, I wish I had this on video as soon as Remy saw him he bolted out of there we talked him into going back and this is his quick escape.

We went trick or treating with some friends this year, the road had no cars driving on it that was nice.

The pumpkins we carved this year!

The kids didn't wear there masks long so me and Travis wore them for a bit, Tea was quite concerned

I think this is a good look for me.

Grandpa Fuddy

2011-10-28T12:04:00.000-07:00

I am playing catch up,

Dan Doxey Frampton "Fudd" 1931 ~ 2011

Our dear husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend passed on quietly at home on August 13, 2011. His sweetheart wife was at his side as she has been for 65 years since they were 15 year olds 'going steady'. He will be sorely missed but his legacy of kindness, hard work, humor and testimony will live on in his posterity, whose lives will continue to be blessed by this good man.

Dan did not have an unkind word for anyone and leading by example, he often counseled us to simply love those with whom we had disagreement. He served his country honorably in the Air National Guard during the Korean conflict. He was a life-long member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and wore out his life in the service of God. He helped to build the kingdom wherever he was called - sharing the gifts of truth and love which he possessed so abundantly. He served in many positions of trust and leadership and especially loved the time spent on missions with Berylene.

Dan was born in Salt Lake City on April 11, 1931 to William Vere Frampton and Helen Pearl Doxey. He lived in Holladay his entire life where he served on numerous committees and councils helping to keep Holladay a wonderful place to live. He married the girl of his dreams, Berylene Coshow, on May 28, 1951 and together they have eight children: Cozette (Barney) Carlson, Sam (Meridee) Frampton, Becky (Grey) Airhart, Jane (Dick) Goulding, Bruno (Shauna) Frampton, Sylvia (Lindsay) Thomas, Jason (Shelley) Frampton and Heidi (David) Lawrence.

Preceded in death by parents, step-mother Delight Thomas, siblings Will Frampton and Janice Burnham, one granddaughter and one great-grandson. He is survived by his wife, their children, 34 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren and sister Mary Schofield. Viewings will be on Friday, August 19, 6-8 p.m. and Saturday, August 20, 9-10:30 a.m. Funeral Saturday at 11 a.m. All will be held at the Holladay South Stake Center, 4917 Viewmont Street.

The cousins trying there best to be reverent while the parents practiced the song for the funeral

My mom is a sibling of 8, so the oldest grandson in each family was a paul bearer.

My Grandma Ber and her 8 children (with a much younger stand-in for my mom who is serving a mission in North Carolina). I got to be the lucky one of my siblings and read my mom's talk at the funeral, and be her stand in for pictures.

Grandma caught a ride back to the church on the bishops scooter!

Grandma made all of these delicious cookies for the after party at her house. This date was already planned to be our family reunion. I think grandpa was trying to have us all show up this time! Almost all of the 118 family members were there.

Travis throwing Hudson into the pool of the diving board, Remy also joined in on the fun!

We ended the day by sharing stories about Grandpa Fuddy. I am so grateful to be a part of such a amazing family.

Daisy's Prison Photo

2011-10-28T11:13:00.000-07:00

I have been meaning to post this for months! Daisy loves to run away any chance she gets, we have talked to some other bassets hound owners and there dogs were the same way, I was glad to know that. Anyways we have had to pay twice to get her out of the pound and once we were lucky enough for the cop to just call Travis and he went to get her. The first time she left it was quite a traumatic experience, the kids were heart broken and just cried for hrs, okay I was too a little too, mostly for the kiddos! The pound took this picture for us and emailed it to us.

Family Fun

2011-10-24T20:43:00.000-07:00

Tea having fun in the leafs, I found these furry warm slippers in the boys bag my mom gave them to Hudson one winter they are a little big but will work she loved them

Daisy, ahhh I am not a huge fan of having a dog right now but we have been so lucky with daisy. She never listens and runs a way at any chance but she never barks and is so good with the kids!!!!

Pumpkin Walk

2011-10-24T20:16:00.000-07:00

This is the first year that we went to the pumpkin walk and it was a lot of fun. The kids had fun taking pictures in these fun cutouts.

Harry potter, they have only watched the first one but I can't wait until they are old enough to read them these books. On Sunday Remy asked Travis during the sacrament prayer who was saying the prayer and he showed him when the young man stood up. Remy said " the harry potter kid"?

Angry Birds

This was my favorite one, Despicable Me I thought these girls looked just like them.

Football team

Gulligans island, these face paintings were awesome some one spent a lot of time on them

Phineus and Ferb, the boys loved this one

Winne the Pooh

Tiger was pretty impressive

Awwww plant verses aliens

Cute cinderalla, she loved sticking her head in these

Of course I had to take a picture of Tangled for my sister!

Marysvale

2011-10-24T19:40:00.000-07:00

Over UEA I took the kids and went to visit my cousin and her kids, they had such a good time playing. The neighbors puppies wondered over one morning and the kids had so much fun playing with them for a few hours until the owner came to get them.

Tea was so sad when it was time to come in, I know this is kinda a sad picture but cute too.

While we were there we went to a corn maze, they had some fun slides and a corn pit to play in forget the corn maze! Sally was nice and took Remy down while I chased Tea around and took some pictures.

Hudson liked going down on his tummy

This cute girl is growing up so fast! She is walking around like crazy, she loves to play outside and has fun on the tramp with the boys. She can say mom and more along with gibbering like crazy. She also has been sighing eat and more. She finally has more than two teeth, she will be 15 month old in a few weeks!

They all loved the corn pit and spent most of the time in it.

We attempted the corn maze with 7 kids and 2 adults, we lasted 15 min and decided to find the begining and call it good before it got dark and spooky.

The boys had fun climbing in one of there tree, it was fun until they were covered in sap and it ruined there clothes, oh well.

Hudson climbed up pretty high, these boys and no fear is not so good!

Halloween fun

2011-10-24T19:07:00.000-07:00

Grandma Lil and Grandpa Lindz sent the kids a fun Halloween package, these are the shirts they got. They loved them!

It was our Frampton Halloween party on friday, here is my brother Brady as one of the characters from yo gabba gabba. Aunt Jane brought them all and the few adults that were lucky enough got to wear them.

Our Family, minus the parents who will be there next year:}and Uncle Par who was home sick.

Singing Halloween songs, the aunts never disappoint us!

Grandma Ber, with out this amazing women this party would not have happened!! She has always worked so hard to have a close family, I still remember when I was a kid having the Halloween party at our sandy house in my dads shop I always looked forward to the Frampton parties.

Cute Tea was a lady bug this year, my mom bought her this cute costume a few months ago and it was so cute on her!

Aunt Beth was a rubber ducky in a bubble bath, she was nice and shared it with Tea

Salt to Saint

2011-09-26T14:21:00.000-07:00

Travis, Brady, and two friends Rode in the Salt to Saint relay bike race. This is there sweet ride they had for there adventure and ended up working out really nice for them. It was really big and had a bed so they could take turns sleeping. My sister in law and I drove down to St.George on Friday night and stayed in my Uncle Marks beautiful home. We had some fun girls time with one of the other wife's.

The race started at the State capitol, Garret was the first to ride!

Travis riding in the pouring rain, they had some bad luck with the weather this year. I think they all had to ride in the rain and Travis was lucky enough to ride threw a hail storm!

Brady took this cool picture, he was hoping that Travis would make it to be in this picture but by the time he reached the top of the hill the fog was gone.

Travis was the last to ride, he rode threw the finish line for the team.

Here they are all done! Very tired, very stinky, and did I mention stinky! We took them back to the house to shower then had a nice nap. We went out that night for some dinner and shopping. It was such a fun trip I wish I would have taken some pictures with us girls! My sister was kind enough to watch my three kiddos and Parley was around to help. Thanks guys for watching the kiddos!!

End of Summer

2011-09-26T13:49:00.000-07:00

I love how surprised Hudson looks in this picture. A few weeks ago Travis took the camera out to take a few pictures of the kids playing in the water. I am sad for summer to end, we have had such nice weather the past few weeks and I am not ready for winter!!!

First day of school

2011-09-26T13:34:00.000-07:00

Hudson Started the first grade this year, his teacher is Mrs. Saunders. It is so weird to have him gone all day and we miss him, especially Remy. Remy also started preschool this year, he was lucky to get into the USU lab and is loving school!

Little miss is getting so big and has started to walk, she is getting braver and braver everyday. Her hair is long enough to but into two pig tales. It is so fun having a girl, she also loves necklaces and wears them all the time. She loves to take my necklace off and put it on her, I guess its time to make her a few of her own.

Tony Grove

2011-08-30T12:21:00.000-07:00

A few days before Hudson started school we decided to go camping with some friends to Tony Grove which is up Logan canyon, it is beautiful. It is the same place we took a picture of Travis standing in the snow in July. The snow is all melted now but it sure got chilly at night. The wildflowers were all still in bloom and it was so green and beautiful up there.

All the kiddos lined up, Grace, Hudson, Will, Remy, Eli, Claire,and Tea.

Claire is such a cute little girl so squashy, It will be fun to see what Tea looks like when she is 2.

They brought there dog with them who is a chocolate lab, I love lab dags they are awesome dogs and she was.

Travis aka lumber jack decided it would be fun to chop down a tree, I missed a good picture of it falling Tea wanted to help by putting he hand over the lens just in time.

The boys bouncing on the tree Travis chopped down.

All the kiddos wanted a turn with the ax so Travis took a turn with each of them and taught them some ax manners.

The next morning after a awful night for both families of no sleep we packed up camp and headed over to the little lake to go on a hike. We were trying to hike to a cave which we never found but it was fun anyways.

Tea enjoyed the ride in the backpack I just wish someone would have carried me I was so tired. Camping is so much work when you are the parent. It will be so much easier when they are a little older.

The boys crashed on the way home, they were just a little tired.

Birthday Girl

2011-08-29T16:11:00.000-07:00

We still can't believe that Tea is one years old! Holy smokes that year went so fast, She is such a blessing to our family. Her brothers love her so much and enjoy her sweet smiles and laughter. I wish I could just freeze time and have her stay this way for a while longer. She is getting close to walking, she stands up on her own for a while. She loves to sing patty cake, and will usually make her happy at any time. She makes the cutest noises and loves to chatter. She can say Mom, dad, and this which is usually followed by a pointed finger to hand her something. She sure know what she wants and mostly gets her way we are in trouble for sure. We love you Tea Jo Happy Birthday!

The boys had a fun time helping her open her presents which she didn't mind at all I am sure next year will be different.

She loved this gift, a piano with a microphone she really likes to hear music and starts dancing to it all the time. She really liked to climb on this box and sit on it then clap for herself.

A little help from dad, she seemed to enjoy her cake!

We skyped with my parents so they could be apart of the party!

I found this picture from our NC trip this summer and missed posting it before. I love it giving dad a kiss through the window!

Camping at Willard Bay

2011-08-29T10:08:00.000-07:00

We decided to go camping at Willard bay and invited my brother and his girlfriend,my sister and cousin. We had a lot of fun. The kids did pretty good sleeping at night I just don't sleep good when I camp so it was a long night for me. The girls climbed up in the tree with the boys for a picture. I don't know why I don't have any pic of Parley and Erica but they were there.

Pretty sunset

Having smores and telling scary stories. The boys thought it was pretty fun to take a turn and make up a story about big foot or the cupacabra.( PR big foot) it was fun until Remy was a little freaked out. He was funny, he would tell something scary then say" haha I'm just teasin"

Aunt Beth snuggling with Tea, Remy kept saying he was so cold he is our true puertorican. We wrapped him up tight and he was happy as could be.

Nice morning hair! We had to get a picture of our new stove that Travis gave me for my birthday so romantic I know your all jealous! It has been nice and helps with our emergency preparedness.

A little tired in the morning after a late night, Remy chose the ground Hudson chose the tree.

The next day we packed up our camp and went to the beach, haha its really hard for us to call it that. Brandon, Norine, there kiddos, and Grandma Ginger meet us there for a fun few hrs. The kids had fun swimming, floating in the tube, and paddling in the boat.

Tea had fun digging in the dirt, she stood up on her head and began digging and throwing the dirt between her legs like a dog it was so funny I am glad Grandma was fast enough to get a picture.

Tea also loved the water, I am so glad all of my kids have loved being in the water.

That same day we got a call that my Grandpa Fuddy wasn't doing very good and only had a few days. We left Willard and headed down to give our love and support to Grandma and tell Grandpa bye and we loved him. I will post some more about him and the funeral soon.

Hanging out with friends!

2011-08-29T09:36:00.000-07:00

Some or our good friends from PR live in Utah know so when we get a chance to get together we do. These are there cute girls, same ages as our boys! We went down to my moms house to pick apricots one weekend and invited them over for dinner and homemade ice cream. I ended up picking 4 5 gallon buckets full of apricots. I canned some, made jam, and pureed some to make fruit leather.

The boys had a fun time climbing in the trees and on the ladders.

Enjoying some homemade ice cream it was so yummy as you can tell by my hubbys face!

Popsicles

2011-08-06T13:30:00.000-07:00

Tea loves Popsicles it was so fun watching the boys having such a good sharing with her, she would bite it and suck it and make the funniest cold face.

Rodeo and Sallys

2011-08-06T13:27:00.000-07:00

We went to my cousin Sally's to visit for a few days, the first night we were there it happened to be Piute county days so they had a rodeo for the kids Thursday night.The boys were so excited for there first try at riding the sheep.

We showed up looking like major city slickers! Baseball caps, shorts, and tennis shoes. Bespite looking way out of place compared to all the cute decked out little cowboys and cowgirls Hudson was one of the few that rode the longest. He did so good and stayed on forever!

I told Hudson just to bear hug it and not let go, that is just what he did.

This is Jessie he and Hudson are just a few weeks apart and they have such a good time we get together.

Remy was so excited, after I told him good job and asked if he had fun. He replied, " I didn't want that one with big horns"!

They had as few cowboys helping out and would hold on to your kid I you wanted I decided to do that for Remy so he would want to do it again in the future.

They also had a chicken and puppy chase, thank goodness my kids didn't catch one, you get to keep them if you do.

Hudson and Jessie put on these sweet vests and were convinced they were water proof

This is cute Janie, her and Remy are a few months apart they also had a fun time playing mom and baby with his stuffed animal dogs!

They have some fun toys at there house, we took a ride on the rhino and four wheeler, Hudson really thinks he needs one now!!!! ahhh I had to tell him Santa doesn't bring those kid of toys.

Tea enjoyed the ride in the Rhino, this is Carver, He was born on Christmas day tea and him are 4 months apart. He has the cutest big blue eyes!

This is the Place Park

2011-08-04T14:59:00.000-07:00

We meet up with Riva and he kiddos for a fun day at This is the Place, I haven't been there since I was a little girl so it was fun to go and let the kids experience being a pioneer for a day. Remy would have been one cool pioneer, he was doing a sweet dance on the handcart.

Hudson learning how to wash clothes, oh I am so thankful I was born when there is washers and dryers.

Remy thought it was pretty fun to wash the clothes

The kiddos had fun playing with these rings in the streets, entertainment was so simple back then I wouldn't mind that.

The ox, the boys pet them and Hudson asked some questions then Remy almost got horned and that was enough for him. They were no longer nice cows " they are mean cows" as Remy put it.

They had some dancing going on and the boys joined right in, it was fun to watch they and they loved it.

Hudson getting a shave, he smelt so good after!

Remy once again striking a pose for all to see, did I mention he is my goofy child.

Going for a ride on the mini train

Tea and Gavin enjoyed a nice nap in the strollers, I just wish I could have joined them.

Panning for gold, to bad it wasn't real

The boys loved the horse ride, we had enough boxes left they chose to do this again.

Tea loves animals she squeals when she sees them and starts waving her hand up and down because she want to touch them that is until she gets close enough and backs up her had.

Taking the pig for a spin.

Friends come to visit!

2011-08-04T14:43:00.000-07:00

Our friends came to visit it us a few weeks ago and we had so much fun! We miss them and can't wait to see them again. They built a temple out of legos.

Tea and Gavin are only 4 days apart, they are the cutest babies!!!

Tea's new favorite spot to climb in and out of, or get stuck in.

The kiddos all cuddling up on the little coach (not really they just wanted to be all by each other) to watch some cartoons.

Olivia and Hudson had a good time jumping on the tramp with the sprinklers, Remy and Viola didn't last to long it was to cold.

Gavin before I gave him his first haircut

Ahhhh I can't get enough of these two!

Riva and I had to much fun while she was here. We stayed up late laughing and sewing! We made ties for the boys and a cute purse for us. Poo Travis was a little out numbered, he handled it like a man.

Dentist, Bear Lake, and Popcorn.

2011-08-02T15:42:00.000-07:00

Remy had his first dentist appointment last month and he did such a good job. He took his Daisy dog with him to help him be brave.

Getting his x-rays, poor boy gagged pretty good a few.

We took advantage of being home one weekend and headed up to Bear Lake, we have been wanting to go up there with the kiddos all summer. Where has summer gone? The water was a little cold and higher than I have ever seen it!

Playing pirates, they had a fun time sinking the sink with dad.

Cute Tea, she looks so big sitting up in this chair.

This is for my dad!

On the way home we drove up to Tony Grove, there was still snow there that's what Travis is standing on.

It was so pretty up the canyon with all the wild flowers

We have a tradition in my family that I have carried on in our little family. It is popcorn, smoothie movie night. On Sunday night we watch a movie as a family, I love that Tea is old enough to join in. She loves popcorn!!! It takes me and Travis biting the kernels of to keep up with her.

The boys had fun painting one morning, Remy really didn't want to pose for the picture.

Tea enjoyed pulling down Grandpa ties on morning while I was getting ready, who needs toys!

Family pics, not very many turned out so these are the best ones we got.

Us girls went out to lunch and did some shopping it was so fun to spend some girl time together I can't wait until we can do this more often next year. 11 months, not that I'm counting.

Another yummy restaurant, yeah we ate a lot this trip!

Parley made us a nice welcome sign

We went miniature golfing one day, it was so fun. The boys did do good they probably beat my score.

They had a sweet cave under ground with some black light.

Tea was well entertained, she loved her box rides from Grandpa

Ahhhh I can't wait until they are home so my kiddos can see them more often, poor Tea has only seen them twice.

Beth was feeling a little left out!

North Carolina part 2

2011-07-27T21:17:00.000-07:00

Hudson and Remy visiting Grandpa at the mission office, they enjoyed some snacks and treats.

Grandpa took Hudson to the Mission office for a few hours. Hudson had fun packing his bag with things to color and do at the office with grandpa. He took his snake and Remys daisy dog with him.

Hudson had a good time visiting with all the office staff, this is the mission secretary.

Tea enjoyed all the extra little time she got to have with papa, I am sure papa enjoyed the extra breaks from work to.

My kiddos had so much fun playing with their aunts and uncles.

Grandma playing games with the boys

Tea's crazy hair after her nap, she pulled out her pigtails.

Grandma did not disappoint the boys with there milkshake orders, they are piglets

While the boys watched a killin show us girls enjoyed watching a chick flick on moms bed

Grandpa wanted to make the boys a yummy ranch hand breakfast while they were there. He cooked them little steaks, potatoes, eggs, and toast from one of grandmas mini loafs. He saved the little jam jars from a hotel just for this breakfast. He is such a fun grandpa, I am so grateful for the time we got to spend together and can't wait until they are home.

Bed head

We flew home on the 4th of July so we celebrate early, the boys had fun with the fireworks and sparklers. Remy was so funny, he would get his sparkler and wave it around and run right to the bucket of water. He didn't waste anytime.

The boys enjoying there pool grandma found in the attic, cute grandma set up the slip in slide and even joined them. Grandpa tagged along it was so fun the boys loved it. I was threatened with my life to not take any pictures of it :) we will just have to remember that one with out pictures.

Helping Grandma get the corn ready

The boys got hooked up with some sweet glow sticks from aunt Beth and had fun playing with bubbles.

It has been fun to watch my parents with the missionaries, these two came over for dinner on a Sunday night. The missionary that Tea is next had received some bad news from my dad that morning. His dad passed away, I can not even imagine going threw such a hard trail away from family. He is such an awesome example to me, he has stayed and worked threw it. What a blessing to have the plan of salvation, and gospel to help us threw hard times.

Aunt Beth is such a fun aunt, she made this awesome tent for the boys to have a sleep over with her, it was pretty impressive and such a fun idea. She will be such a fun mom one day.

Before they went to bed they watched Tangled with some popcorn and a smoothie.

Tea became friends with the owl too

We played at a few fun parks while we were there, the best part was playing tag with the boys and Par and Beth who knew tag would make you laugh so hard, good times.

We found a few sweet items at a flea market, the boys were in heaven with this optimums prime helmet it even works it says a few sayings but you can change it so you sound like a robot when you talk. Lets just say Travis had a hard time sharing it.

North Carolina Part 1

2011-07-26T14:46:00.000-07:00

Catching fire flies with Aunt Beth, they actually are really easy to catch.

Coloring with Grandpa

Beth made herself a really cute skirt out of some of the missionary ties that have gone home. She also made one for Tea to match and it is so cute.

While we were in NC it was fun to come up with some WODs with out weights and equipment. Travis was really good at being creative, they had a crazy rain storm and a tree feel over in the neighbor hood. The workers cut it up and threw it to the side of the road and Travis went and picked up three to squat with. The fun part was to weigh them after to see how much they weighed.

Don't mind my sweet face, remember that it is an awkward 60 lbs to squat with. See Brady in the back ground, looks like he is working hard eh? If you have never done good mornings before you wouldn't believe how sore you can get from doing these with just a broom stick, they cripple me every time. We were all really sore for a few days.

Tea loved to play with the wind chimes, and of course Grandpa was more than happy to help out!

We made some delicious grandma Ber caramel apples then dipped them in white chocolate and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar.

This owl scared Remy for the first few days, he adventually warmed up to it and was willing to share some crackers with it.

We took the chance to drive to Myrtle beach while we were there. Grandma was nice and watched Tea for the day and we all pilled into a vehicle a little to small for all of us. I kept hearing how beautiful Myrtle beach was and was a little disappointed, we were so spoiled in PR that I am sure no beach will ever compare.

The boys had fun burying Aunt Beth. Remy was getting really frustrated when the sand wouldn't cover her feet.

Remy was a little tired and enjoyed a nap on the beach.

We went and got some Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Remy and Husdon were supposed to share, that is until aunt Beth sat next to him with a better flavor option, he is my chocolate boy.

Okay have you ever heard of the show Diners, dives. and Drive in's. I watched on the food network a few times when we lived in PR so we decided to see if there were any restaurants featured that were on our way home from the beach. We had to drive 45 mins out of our way but we all agreed it was way worth it. They had the yummiest hamburgers and the fried green tomatoes were my favorite.

We had so much fun hanging out with all the family, it was really fun to catch up with Uncle Par and see my kiddos getting to know him again.

Hudson Found this huge beetle at the park we went to for a picnic and smores.

Tea enjoying her picnic!

Grandpa had a hard time getting the marshmallows all over, okay we all did, those huge mallows will do that :)

We really wore out Remy, he doesn't take naps at home anymore because it is such a fight and then he wont go to bed at night. If we were in the car he would say "I am tired I have a little nap?" I would say yes and he would close his eyes immediately and have a nice cat nap. I thought it was funny that he needed my permission to then would go for it.

Cousins

2011-07-24T13:46:00.000-07:00

Oh I could just squeeze this cute girl she is such a blessing in our family! I cant believe that she will be one in a few weeks!

Remy feel asleep when he was having a time out, that's never happened before.

I am really behind so I am playing catch up we have had a busy but fun summer. Travis's Aunt Sandy and Aunt Marilyn came to visit in June, I don't know why I never took a picture of us all we had such a fun visit. Travis sister also came so we got to see our cute niece Adie. The cousins all had a fun time playing together I wish we could all be together more often.

Congrats Beth!

2011-06-12T21:32:00.000-07:00

Holy cow I feel old! My baby sister graduated from high school today.I am so excited that she is moving back to go to BYU, whaoo whaoo that means we will get to see her way more! My sister and I are 8 years apart so we weren't super close until we both got a little older. I love her so much and she is such and amazing example to me. She went to NC with my parents who were called to serve as Mission Pres. and has grown up so much we love you Beth!

Friends come to visit, and a quick weekend.

2011-06-12T21:18:00.000-07:00

Our friends the Means from Puerto Rico were able to come visit for a day, it was so much fun to see them and catch up it has been a year and we missed them! The kiddos had a fun time and picked up were they left off.

HaHa, Mardy is a dear friend of mine, she would come over 5 times a week in the morning and do crossfit with me! She was such a fun workout buddy she was able to come do a wod with me at the gym and it was so much fun to work out together again!

Notice our hands, not planned!

We were able to head to Delta for a quick visit last weekend and had such a nice time. Travis good friend's dad passed away so we went to the funeral. I am so glad we were able to go and it sure makes us sad for there sweet family. The boys helped grandma plant some flowers, it will be fun to see them grow.

My mother in law always has the nicest garden, I hope I can learn some tricks from her! Her yard also looks so nice and pretty with all the flowers it made me want to plant and have my yard look nicer, maybe next week after girls camp :).

I was brave and finally cut my hair off! I was so sick of it, I always had it in a pony tail and was sick of feeling frumpy! I love that I can do it in less than 15 mins, I am getting used to styling it and can't wait to try more short funky do's. Hudson said that I looked like our neighbor Lori which is fine with me because she is such a cute lady and always has fun short hair styles. He thought it was funny and kept calling me Lori.

Smores Yummy!!

2011-05-28T15:15:00.000-07:00

The boys have been wanting to roast some of those huge marshmallows for a while so when Uncle Brady and Aunt Alley came up to visit for the weekend we built a fire in the back yard and enjoyed some delicious smores.

Remy usually burns his, he makes me so nervous his will start on fire and he could be deadly with the way he moves it around.

yummy!

Before

After, good thing the marshmallows are so sticky or else that graham cracker would be a goner

Travis went into the shed and came out with a pitch fork took it in the house then came out already to roast. It was so funny and worked great, of course he washed it good, well I hope so.

Don't mind my scary hair, I had been cleaning the house and the garage out all day we are official all unpacked!

Daisy even enjoyed some marshmallows!

Uncle Brady and Aunt Alley, we had a nice weekend visiting. It is so nice to have some of our family close I love it!!! Know if we could just get my parents home from there mission it would be complete. Thank goodness my sister Bethany will be going to BYU this year so we will be able to see her. My brother Parley will also be home from his mission in 3 weeks and we are trying to get him to come live with us and go to school at USU. 3 weeks from this coming Wednesday we will be flying to NC I can't wait!!!!!!

Tea even had a bite, thanks dad!

Tea's new trick!

2011-05-28T14:44:00.000-07:00

Tea is getting so close to crawling, she can go backwards and just screams frustration when she can't go forward. We were all playing around after dinner one night and she kept doing this sweet yoga move. We would clap and cheer for her and she would do it again and thought she was pretty hot stuff.

Remy trying to help her, she doesn't need help to roll over but he likes to think she does.

When she does move forward she does a face plant crawl/ army crawl it is so funny and I need to video it because it is hard to explain. Ahhh I love this sweet chubby girl I wish I could freeze time and she would stop growing.

Hudson turns six!

2011-05-27T15:21:00.000-07:00

Holy Cow I can't believe that my baby is 6! We are so happy that he is in our family, he is growing up so fast! Hudson is such a fun boy, he is so sweet to his baby sister and loves to play with his brother. He is such a touchy boy and loves to snuggle. This year we decided to do cupcakes, we borrowed a book from my friend and I let Hudson pick which ones he wanted. I was not surprised that he picked the sharks he loves sharks.

We had his party the weekend before his Birthday since Travis family was up this way already for the race. Hudson chose pizza for dinner, again no surprise there.

Hudson got some fun presents from everyone, he loves transformers and spider man and received both what a lucky boy. On his actual birthday we took them to see Rio which they loved I am still trying to get over the fact that it cost so much for a 3D movie.

Taking the first bite of the cake!

Remy of course had to join in on the fun!

Hudson had his last day of Kindergarten last week. This is his teacher Mrs. Cook. We all loved her, she was such a awesome teacher and Hudson learned so much and she encouraged them to explore and learn. Hudson loves to learn about animals and dinosaurs. He loves to draw pictures them and there bones, he has turned into quite the artist lately I wish my scanner was working. It is even harder to believe that he will be in first grade and gone all day. What will me and Remy do with out him?

Idaho Falls Trip

2011-05-27T14:52:00.000-07:00

I love this picture, is looks like she is picking her nose but I love the face.

Cute Paisley, It has been so fun living closer to my niece and nephew. My kids have also loved having cousins to play with.

Getting ready to go swimming in the hotel pool

This was Tea's first time in a pool, she did pretty good then we put her in the hot tub and she was all about splashing and happy. I think the pool was to cold she loved the warm water.

The reason we went to Idaho was to support our family. My nephew McCoy has hearing aids and my sister in law and brother in law found this race that is to raise money for cochlear implants.It was called the MAD marathon. They also had a 1/2 and a 5 and 10 K. We decided to do the 5 k so that Hudson could ride his bike and make it a family activity. It was really fun, the best part was Hudson telling me I needed to hurry so we could get to the front so we could win the race. Kaylee and Moses from the biggest loser where there, it was fun to see them and tell them how awesome they looked. We got a picture with moses. I have let Hudson and Remy watch a little of the show before and reminded them about it and Hudson wanted to say hi so we did and Remy said " I see you on TV". I don't now if he really remembered but it was funny anyways.

All of the family and Friends that were there to support McCoy.

Goldilocks Bike Race and Weekend fun!

2011-05-27T14:34:00.000-07:00

Grandma Ber and Grandpa Fuddy were able to join us for dinner at Brady's house the night before the bike race. I have been wanting to have them over for dinner and since we live 2 hrs away we came to them. I am so thankful for such awesome grandparents. I visit them every chance I get, my grandpa is suffering from dementia, my grandma takes such good care of him. He still has his sense of humor and we love them both so much!

Remy enjoying his caramel easter egg from Grandma Ber, yummy!

We had strawberry short cake for dessert, lets just say Hudson really enjoyed it!

Tea being cute

My cousin Dani has put together this awesome race called Goldilocks, it is an all women bike race for beginner riders all they way to advanced. My cousin Jessica, sister in law Alley and me rode the 40 mile route and had so much fun!I was a little nervous because I had not been on a bike in forever and did no training. Thank goodness for crossfit, I was able to ride the whole thing and I wasn't even sore the next day. My poor bum would have not been happy if I rode a bike the next day but other than that it was great.

Having a jolly rancher to keep us going.

Stretching, haha it was more of a pose for my mom, right mom recognize this?

Making it up the camp Williams road, huge climb with head wind = extra fun!

Enjoying a yummy lunch after the race, I had so much fun riding with those girls. I can't wait to ride the one in Vegas in the fall.

Travis helped with the race, wearing our race shirts!

Baby Girl

2011-05-06T09:40:00.000-07:00

I couldn't pass up these leg ins that look like jean and this purple sweater! I was so excited to get her dressed this morning! I am so grateful to have such a happy girl in our family she makes it feel more complete. I also bought her a cute purple skirt, Remy picked it up at the store and kept saying " Tea look like a princess", how could I resist I will have to take some pic and post them of her in her skirt!

9 Months

2011-05-05T10:02:00.000-07:00

Tea is 9 months old! I can't believe how much she has changed in the last few months. She has been rolling over to reach things she wants and is getting close to crawling. She wants to be on the move so bad I think it makes her angry some times. She has also found her voice and loves to her it, it will be interesting to have a screamer around. The boys adore her and love to make her laugh and smile, she loves them as well and gets the biggest kick out of them. She has started getting upset when I leave the room to do something which is not so fun. She is an awesome sleeper and napper!

She got a baby doll in her Easter basket and it is fun to see her with it. I know she has no idea that it is a baby but it is fun having some girl toys around poor girl might not have to play with just monster trucks and cars.

She loves to spit and blow bubbles, she will start doing it and won't stop for a while sometimes. I will start making another noise that she will mimic and she stops for a second and smiles and starts blowing again.

Stats:

Weight 18 lbs 11 oz ( Remy weighed this much at 4 months)!

Length 26 1/2 inches

It is fun to see her chunky legs more now that is getting warmer!

Bath time

2011-05-05T09:49:00.000-07:00

Tea having a bath in the kitchen sink, she thinks it is pretty fun. At our new house there is only one bath tub and it is a jet tub(which I love) that is really big and awkward to lean over in and bathe her in. She loves to be in the water, this will be a fun summer of swimming!

The boys got some bath foam in there Easter baskets this year and have had so much fun with it.

Egg roll

2011-05-05T09:28:00.000-07:00

This year I am a huge slacker! I was planing on making Tea a dress and matching ties for the boys, then we decided to move a week early and on Easter weekend so that got put back! We also were headed to the Frampton Egg roll when our car started freaking out so we turned around and thankfully made it home. We were all disappointed that we wouldn't be able to make it this year. Thank goodness for some good friends, we invited the Vales over on short notice and introduced them to the egg roll. We had a fun time and they loved it, it is always fun to introduce this fun tradition to new people.

Remy kissing his egg for good luck! To bad it didn't work.

Daisy goes to school

2011-05-05T09:22:00.000-07:00

Hudson's class had a pet week last week and his teacher asked if we could bring Daisy to school. Hudson was so excited the boys gave her a much needed bath the night before so she wouldn't be so stinky!

Hudson told them all about his dog, that she is a friendly dog, she likes to chase Remy and I, and she like to go on walks. He also is in charge of cleaning up her poop and he was so proud to share that!

Remy wanted a picture of him hanging on the monkey bars.

Showing the class how Daisy will go down the slide, I don't think she loves it but she will do it for the boys!

Tea waiting patiently in the stroller, she loves to be outside, I am so glad its getting a little warmer so we can go out more often. When I hold her up to the window she loves to watch Daisy and the boys playing outside.

Camera Clean Up

2011-05-04T20:00:00.000-07:00

I love these kiddos! They sure enjoy each other and it is so fun to watch they interact, the boys are so sweet with Tea and she thinks the world of them.

Travis has been competing in the open work outs for the Crossfit games. Brady and Alley came to visit and I was able to get a babysitter, so we went to go and cheer him on. It was fun to be there and see him do good, we really enjoy crossfit and I am so grateful he can train at the gym so I can go work out for free. It is so fun, the people are so awesome. We all push each other, cheer each other on, and have some healthy competition.

The work out was
AMRAP ( as many rounds as possible) in 20 min
5 Power cleans 155lbs
10 toes to bar
15 wall balls
He did so good he got 10 rounds! It was so intense he had 28 seconds left to do 15 wall balls for a complete round and we were all cheering and going crazy. He got them done just in time!

After, they all took some time on the ground for a bit. I did this work out a few days before with less weight and knees to elbows and it was killer!

Wall balls

We also moved a few weekends ago, across the street. Well it was a crazy and quick move but so worth it. Our friends asked us if we wanted to rent there house from them, it has been so much better. Travis saw all this wood in front of someones house and stopped and asked if they were getting rid of it. Lucky us hit the jackpot for some fire wood for next winter. Travis is so excited to chop it all this summer he has missed some good old manual labor. He takes his last final on Friday for the semester! We have almost made it one year! He is signed up for some online classes this summer but it will be nice to do some fun things as a family!

Gymnastics

2011-05-04T19:40:00.000-07:00

We signed the boys up for gymnastics a month ago and they are loving it! Remy goes once a week and Hudson twice, Remy will say " its my day today". They can go watch each other but they are in different classes so sometimes it makes it hard because they want to be doing it to.

Remy is the only boy in his class but he doesn't seem to mind.

His coach does a really good job, it would be hard to keep 3-4 year olds still waiting for there turn.

Fun Run

2011-05-04T19:33:00.000-07:00

Hudson's school had a fun run a few weeks ago, it was freezing cold. He was a little disappointed that he didn't win, so we gave him a pep talk and told him he could practice running.

Crossing the finish line!

Remy and Tea where good cheerleaders, all bundled up.

Hudson has the best teachers I am so grateful, he loves school. Mrs.cook and Mrs. Hansen is the aid.

Friends come to visit!

2011-05-04T19:22:00.000-07:00

I finally made Tea some new flowers for her hair, it is so fun having a girl!

My good friend Riva and her kiddos came to visit us for a few days during spring break. We had so much fun, I wish the weather would have been better. Our kids are all really close in age and they get along really good.

Hudson and Olivia have been friends since they were baby's, we had a pj day because the weather was so crappy we just hung out in the house.

Gavin and Tea are only 4 days apart, he is such a cute boy! Hudson and Oliva kept saying they were having a bouncing date.

Not that I am counting...

2011-03-21T10:42:00.000-07:00

I can't wait.... in 92 days we will be going here:

To see :

My brother Parley who is currently serving a mission in Brasil and will return in June!!!

My parents who are serving as mission president in North Carolina, the boys have't seen them for a year by then!

My sister Beth, who is living with my parents but will be moving back for college this summer yeah!!!

It has been two years since we have been togehter as a family and we will all be there!!!

My siblings, it will be so nice to be all together again!! We cant wait, the next 92 days won't go fast enough!

Camera Clean Up

2011-03-21T10:11:00.000-07:00

Crazy hair, I finally was able to convince Travis that Remy's hair was out of control and needed to be cut. He has a large heed as it is and the three inch puffy hair was not helping.

Travis took the boys sleding a few weeks ago when Tea was really sick and they were getting a little cabin fever. We don't have a sled and are to cheap to buy one at the moment so they took the little swimming pool. It was a hit, it went faster than all the other sleds and other kids where asking to try it. It work out nice the boys got to ride white trash style then switch and share a real sled with some one else. Who needs a real sled when you have a swimming pool!

Remy is fighting the naps he could still use one some days, I put a show on for him and Hudson a few weeks ago and this is how I found him a few minutes later.

He was so ornery when he woke up he just wanted to snuggle which I was happy to do it doesn't happen often that he will sit still enough to do that. Hudson wanted to try and take a picture and he did a pretty good job.

The boys love to join Tea in the bath at the end of her bath, I don't think she minds.

Tea has found her tongue, she loves to smile and stick it out at you. She is growing up so fast, she has been surprising herself when she rolls over. She is always happy to give you a smile and she sure loves her dad.

Grandma Ginger and Grandpa Jed came to visit us this weekend, it was so fun to have them here. The kids had a good time and we had a nice visit and played some card games. I am so thankful that my kiddos have such awesome grandparents that love them and love to spend time with them.

It seems that she already has figured out how to strike a pose for the camera, Grandma Lil gave her this cute out fit and she is big enough to wear it now.

Getting some kisses from grandma!

A few funny stories:
Remy: He has been going to speech therapy twice a week for 20 mins at the elementary school. The week Tea was really sick I had Travis take him, he hasn't met the teacher yet. Travis let Remy take his Daisy dog (stuffed animal) with him, so he walks into his class room and Mrs. Pam says to Remy ,"You brought someone new with you today", Remy quickly replies " Yep that my Daisy dog"! Poor dad doesn't seem to matter much.
Hudson: We went down to his Aunt Norine's to play with the kids and visit a few weeks ago. Travis told Hudson that there was going to be someone special there to see us,(grandma and grandpa) Hudson says" I knew it, its President Monson I am so excited"! Funny boy has been telling us lately that he wants to be the prophet. We just have to explain that we don't get to pick, and he can serve in other ways like going on a Mission.

6 months

2011-02-26T12:06:00.000-08:00

Tea turned 6 months old a few weeks ago so this is a little late but better late than never, she is so much fun to have in our family. She laughs and smilies daily and it is so fun to see Remy and Hudson get her to laugh. She is sitting up pretty good now and loves to be in the same room as the boys to watch them. We started feeding her rice cereal, oatmeal cereal, and sweet potato's, carrots, squash, pears, and bananas. I have got her to take a bottle which is nice. She is enjoying food and is getting the hang of it. She loves her daddy and can't wait to see his face when she hears his voice, she also loves to preform her new trick with dad I think she can stay stiff and balanced longer than the boys could. When she hears the bath water she gets so excited and loves to have her bath time. I am so thankful to have this sweet girl in our home and family, she completes our family.

Weight: 16 lbs 3 oz

Length: 25.5

Ice cave, we have had so much snow lately that Travis just pilled it up and they dug a cave in it. The boys thought that it was pretty neat.

Remy loves to join whoever is having a bath or shower, almost every time Tea has a bath he is there ready to join. I promise he gets baths! This time Hudson wanted to join as well, I think we need a bigger bathtub.

Crossfit Competition

2011-02-10T14:57:00.000-08:00

Travis competed in a Cross fit Competition last weekend and we went to cheer him on. They had a total of 100 men competing and 4 events. Travis did really well he even broke his personal record on the muscle snatch. The first event was a run and they did't have it marked very well and he missed a turn and everyone was told to turn around and he was the only one that did. So he was honest but placed way lower in that event making it hard to make it to the finals and place better like he should have so that kind of stinks. He still finished 28th place out of one hundred.

Hudson was a good helper and held Tea so I could take a few pictures. Here she is cheering for dad!

The second work out was called FRUN "4 minutes of Frun" ,95lb Thrusters and Pullups. The Rep Scheme will be 1 thruster, 2 pullups, 3 thrusters, 4 pullups, 5 thrusters, 6 pullups, and so on.Most reps wins. He placed 10th over all in this event!

Atlas stones and Barbell Snatch. You had to lift this 115lb stone as many time in 2 min then go for your max snatch.

This is all the competitors from Cache Valley Cross fit were Travis works and I work out. It has been really fun working out at the gym rather than at home.

The Sink

2011-01-31T20:52:00.000-08:00

This is " The Sink" served at Angie's a restaurant were the locals eat. Travis and I went on a date there on Saturday and there was a group of people eating this and he couldn't get it out of him mind how fun it would be to make your self sick by eating all this ice cream. So for family night we went and tried to eat it. They boys thought it was pretty fun. Remy actually ate some he usually won't even touch ice cream. It has got to be close to a gallon of ice cream with four banana half's and 3 toppings with cool whip and yes that is ice cream piled up high not cool whip! Oh man we needed my brothers to help us out. I probably close to three cups of ice cream which didn't put much of a dent. Hudson ate a ton he enjoyed eating his little heart out! Travis, well he probably won't be eating ice cream for a few days got the shakes, OD.

Don't mind my boy's sick side burns I know your jealous! Travis wants to grow there hair out, I need to at least trim there side burns they look like dirt bags.

Forget the ice cream I will eat the jam packets! Funny Remy, this is what he was doing when I looked over at him.

Uhhhh!

This is how close we got! We probably had a bowl left but i think Travis would have passed out. We will have to wait until we have more help. My brother Parley could polish this of by himself he loves challenges like this. We will have to go when he gets home from his mission in June. That is if Trav has recovered by then!

Bath time

2011-01-31T20:32:00.000-08:00

Tea hair is getting pretty long on top so on Sunday I put it in a side pony tail with a clip, she looked pretty cute. I have said this before and I will probably say it again, it is so fun to have a girl to dress up!

This is my favorite picture, the boys were having a shower so I gave Tea a bath in the kitchen sink. She kept propping her feet up on the edge and looked pretty cute.

Just enjoying her bath time!

I am sure she will love this picture when she is older but I love those cute chunky baby bums!

Saturday Fun

2011-01-31T20:21:00.000-08:00

We took the kiddos over to the church Saturday afternoon when Travis got home from studying. We rode wiggle cars, played tag, played basketball, and pretty much had a fun family activity indoors where it was warm. Tea liked going for a few rides as well, notice Remy's face!

Oh she is so sweet I am lovin this baby girl she is my favorite girl I can say that I only have one!

Remy's favorite thing to do is to crash he has a wicked turn at high speed, the best fish tale.

Hudson had a good time racing around with mom, the boys like to use there feet so I had him not cheat and he had a fun time racing mom and Tea.

Tea loved watching the boys run around like usual, she wants to join them so bad she will just flaping her arms and start wiggling around. I love my kids and it was so fun to go and play with them!

First Snow man

2011-01-19T19:31:00.000-08:00

AHhhh! I could just squash her, my friend made this cute hat for her.

It was so fun to teach the boys how to take a small snowball and roll it around to make it huge, they thought that was pretty cool.

Getting ready to do a dead lift, snow gets so heavy.

Favorite boys!

It is pretty sad that we thought it wasn't to cold this day 35 degrees , we must have got used to the cold weather a little or it could just be that was above 15 degrees for the first time in a long time.

Camera Clean Up

2011-01-19T19:18:00.000-08:00

Remy's stomach wrinkles, the picture doesn't do justice we were laughing so hard and had to stop reading scriptures and take a picture. He got a little self conscious after and had to check them out himself.

Remy has been having a hard time going to bed lately, mostly adjusting to not having a binki and has a hard time staying in bed anyways. We will find him asleep on the floor next to Hudson's bed so this was a new spot for him. He turned the light on and decided to fall asleep on a hard piece of wood luckily he didn't have an indent on his face because I went in to check on him and moved him. Last night he was asleep in Hudson's bed with him. I am so glad that they are such good buddies.

Travis was feeling these buckets up to take out and fill up a little pool to give Daisy a bath in. Remy went in to go potty and I guess he couldn't resist this is how I found him. Hudson had to join in on the fun so they had a early bath .

Who needs weights when you have kids. They thought it was pretty fun, I did some shoulder presses with the boys and wiggly weight is fun.

I am so grateful for these cute boys! I love them each so much.

Happy Birthday Remy!

2011-01-10T20:09:00.000-08:00

I can not believe that he is three already, it seems like yesterday that we were driving to the hospital in Puerto Rico at 5:30 in the morning to be induced. I was only five days over but more than ready to have a baby! Remy you are such a blessing to our family! You were born a healthy 8 lbs 15 oz at 4:30 in the afternoon. You were a happy baby from day one and as soon as you could smile thats all you did! You were such a quite baby and never cried. Your brother Hudson was so excited to be a big brother . I remember when you started to babble and make noise that Hudson had a hard time adjusting to you making noise all the sudden because you had been quite for the first months of your life. This morning when I told you happy birthday and you gave me one of your sweet kisses I had so many fun memories of you as a baby go through my thoughts. You are such a funny boy and love to make us all laugh, you are quite animated! You say the funniest things but I think that its the faces you make when you say things that make me smile more. Mom and Dad love you so much thank you for coming to our family! Happy Birthday!

I asked Remy what kind of cake he would like to have and gave him a few ideas and he decided he wanted a football cake he has a hard time saying football and says "huttball". All day today when I told him happy birthday or someone would sing to him he would excitedly say " huttball Take" I think he was excited about the cake. That is an improvement since last year, he wouldn't eat even a bite of his cake.

Grandma Lil, Grandpa Lindz, and aunt Beth joined the birthday party via skype. I am so glad that we can see them some what and they love to see the kiddos.

Tea is always our center piece at meals, she is a pretty cute one. She just likes to watch us and smile at us.

We started a new tradition for our birthdays, our good friends in PR introduced us to it. You let the birthday boy/girl take a big bite out of the cake! Remy thought that was pretty fun and Hudson really wanted a go at it so he had a turn after, okay Travis did too!

Just a few days old! I picked a few pictures and wanted to do more but this post would never end. I have way to many favorites but here are just a few we enjoyed!

This one is for Papa Lindz!

Monster Trucks!

2011-01-09T13:09:00.000-08:00

We surprised the boys on Friday with Monster Truck tickets! We have always wanted to take them to one and I happened to see a commercial about it Friday morning so we thought what the heck lets go. The boys had a lot of fun and thought it was pretty cool to see them. They had a pit party before the show so we went early and got up close and personal with the trucks.

Hudson checking out the tires.

It was so loud, luckily we were able to borrow some hearing protection for the boys! I even wore some ear plugs. I love this picture of Hudson, I just happened to take it at the right moment. I guess one of the trucks almost crashed thats why he has such a sweet face. To bad a truck didn't crash I think that would have been a highlight for them.

Just some proof that I was there, I am always behind the camera. Remy would take of his ear muffs in between trucks, he didn't get them back on in time, don't worry I put them on for him right away.

It was pretty cool that they let the kids climb on the tires and meet the drivers. We felt a little out of place with all the rednecks ha ha.

Family Update

2011-01-08T18:59:00.000-08:00

One of my goals this year is to write more about the kiddos once a month this is my way of journaling and I want to make sure I remember things.

Hudson is loving school right now and learning a lot. He has been reading for a few months and it is amazing how fast he pick things up. He is always sounding words out and trying to right them down.
He is getting faster at passing his books of that he brings home. Hudson went to the Cache Valley Crossfit gym that Travis has been training at last week and thought it was pretty cool to go to work with dad. He did a work out there with the 5 pound kettle bell, box jumps, pull ups and a 500 m row. He loves to try to do the different movements we do. At least we are being a good example of being fit for them. He loves to make crafts by himself or with me. He will pull out all the supplies and make something and bring me the final product. A few things he has created out of paper, glue and tape are a airplane, gingerbread man, snowman, cat, robot and bird. He is a nice brother to his siblings, he loves to wrestle and play with Remy and snuggle and kiss on Tea. He has his own little testimony of the church. He went to temple square with Travis and the youth in December, fast Sunday was the next day and he went up and bore his testimony. He said " yesternight I went to square temple and saw the statue of Jesus and I now he is true, the holy spirit told me this. I saw his nail prints. I know this church is true in the name of Jesus Christ amen." It was really sweet, he is growing up so fast. I love you Hudson!

Remy is turning into quite the three year old, but at least he is potty trained! He is are comical boy always saying something funny or making a funny face. We had him evaluated for his speech this month so we could get him in the school district program to see if they could help. He is a little behind but just this week has been saying more words, it is just hard to understand him sometimes. He started to call Hudson by his name but still will call him "kids" sometimes. Poor kid finally had his binki takin away, mean dad. Not really it was time he only had it when he slept but he is so big. We were waiting until he was fully potty trained so we didn't have a Hudson experience! Naps are now even more a fight which I have given up on, the other day he feel asleep watching a show on the couch, that's not normal for my kids. Remy and Hudson were wrestling a few days ago and he went to jump on hudson and landed on Hudsons knees and got the wind knocked out of him so bad that he was yelling until he passed out. Thankfully Travis was right there and caught him from falling and laid him down and it took it a good 10 seconds for him to come to. I was having a nap at the time and am glad it would have been scary for me, I could handle it if I had too. That was our first real wrestling injury. Remy likes to do everything by himself he is also a good helper. He misses Hudson aka his partner in crime while he is at school, and loves is baby sister.

Tea oh sweet Tea who Travis has nicknamed sweet cheeks. She is such a joy to have in our family. Her chubby cheeks are my favorite, along with he sweet smiles, giggles, sounds, and snuggles. She gave me a nice Christmas present, she has been sleeping 8 hrs from the time she goes to bed for a few weeks now. I love to kiss on her cheeks and let her kiss me back and then she sucks on my chin. She had her first haircut a few weeks ago good by mullet and hello eyes. Her bangs were getting so long they were getting in her eyes. We have been putting her in the bouncy chair for a while and she figured out how to bounce in it this week it is really cute to watch her. She loves to watch her brothers and observe everything around her. I always wonder what she is thinking about. She is getting stronger and is trying to sit up, she will be 5 months old tomorrow I love this stage and wish I could freeze it.

Tea's first Haircut

2011-01-08T18:43:00.000-08:00

Tea got her first haircut a week ago, she had a sweet mullet. I cut the mullet off and trimmed her bangs because they kept getting in her eyes.

Christmas outfits

2010-12-29T10:38:00.000-08:00

Grandma bought Tea this pretty dress and the boys there Christmas shirts.

Remy wanted in on the fun.

Grandma Lil and Aunt Beth bought Tea this cute coat and furry white boots, I want one in my size.

Grandma Ginger, Papa with the grandkids, we are missing Adie. We were able to see Adie and Hollie the week before Christmas and it was so nice to see them and visit with them.

Hudson wanted to do a silly picture, like the gold pom poms that Hudson bought for his dad for Christmas. We took the kids to the dollar store and let them buy a present for each of us, they had a lot of fun doing that.

Christmas 2010

2010-12-29T08:03:00.000-08:00

Putting the reindeer food out for Santa's reindeer.

The boys were pretty excited for Christmas this year! We went to Delta this year to spend Christmas with Travis family, we had a fun time. I had a fun time making there gifts this year. I made the boys dinosaur tails and Travis helped me make a car mat. I made Tea a dress and a doll. Santa brought Hudson a remote control monster truck and Remy a basketball hoop.

This is the car mat we made, I go the idea from my dad and mom who made my brother and I one for Christmas when we were kids. On there mat we did things they knew or where they have been. We drew an Airport so they could fly to the mission home in NC to go to Grandma and Papa's house there, Grandma Gingers and Papa's house in Delta, Our house in Logan, a Crossfit gym, Construction site, Carl's Jr., Gas station, church, Adam's elementary were Hudson goes to school, Second dam Logan Canyon were we go to fish and throw rocks in the water, and Escombrone beach our favorite one in PR. We bought some cars to go along with it, they have played with it and seem to really like it . I do after all the work to make it!

My cousin gave me this cute idea to make them tails, they love to run around and try to knock each other over with them. My friend found these dino hats to go with them.

Tea's Doll and Dress, I love how the dress turned out it is the first time I have ever made one, it is so fun to have a girl.

The boys were so excited that there new jammies were spider man! Here they are doing there spider man poses.

I still can't believe that we have three kiddos. I am so glad each of them our in our family they each bring so much joy to me! Plus its so fun to have a cute girl to stick between two stinky boys!

Christmas dinner

Remy wore his jammies all day, he didn't want to change, either did I.

Tea is getting so big, she is trying to sit up and be big!

The Nativity

2010-12-21T09:10:00.000-08:00

We had our Thomas Christmas party last night, it was so nice to go since it has been three years. We have a tradition that we still do that I remember doing when I was a little girl. We always had a live nativity while Grandpa Thomas read from the Bible. The great grandkids had the chance to be out actors.

Here are all the kids getting ready.

I love my Grandpa Thomas so much, he is such an awesome example to me. He is not afraid to show his emotions and even called himself a boob! Funny Grandpa, I thanked him later for passing on that to me. We all missed Grandma Thomas who passed away this summer.

Remy was the star of the show. He was a lamb, and he played his part well and stayed in that character for a good 30 mins. Here he is waiting for his turn to enter the stable.

Hudson aka Wise man!

Remy would prop his head on the manger and give a Bahhh ever few seconds.

After Remy climbed in the manger to pose for everyone, I told my cousin she would be lucky if she got the suit pack. Luckily he was hot and took it off so we took Remy home with us instead! Thank goodness that would have been a long ride home filled with Bahhhhs!

The Real Santa Pays a Visit

2010-12-21T09:03:00.000-08:00

Santa was in the neighborhood and decided to pay my boys a visit and remind them to be extra good! Hudson was so excited and said it is the real Santa he knew my name!

We were able to see my Grandparents a few times this weekend! We love them and I had a nice visit with them on Monday when I went to help them out. My Grandma had hip surgery 4 weeks ago. She is a trooper and is moving around so good. I am so thankful for the awesome example they have been to me all my life. They were always at every event that was important to us. One of my favorite memories of them is every Christmas day they would drive to our house along with all my cousins houses to visit. They have set some fun traditions for our family and am thankful for all there hard work to make our family close! My grandpa Fuddy suffers from Dementia, it has been hard to see him struggle with this, We still love him and he still has his sense of humor.

Camera Clean Up

2010-12-21T08:33:00.000-08:00

Giving Tea in the baby bath the other day because our tub was not draining very good. She loves to suck on her fingers all the time.

We like to say that she has hair like Kramer.

Remy was born into the wrong generation, I think he would love to have bread and milk in a bowl. I made grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner and Remy decided to dip it in his glass of milk. When he polished it off I just gave him a little bowl of milk to dip it in. He must be an old spirit in a 2 year old little body.

Trav took the boys too an indoor playground, they had so much fun. Hudson decided to drink a whole water bottle while Trav was not looking and had a sick belly. He came home and just had to lie on the bathroom floor--his sidekick joined him.

Hudson made a sweet gingerbread house at school on Friday.

We went to try and get pictures of the grandkids because Adie was in town visiting. Kiddie Kandids made us wait forever past our appointment and all the kids were falling apart so we decided to leave. We tried to at least get a pic of everyone together and this is the best we could do! It's hard enough to get one kid to "show up" for a pictures, but when you have six little one's it's always a little bit harder. P.S. Job at Kiddie Kandids=one day in h$#@!

Santa came to ward Christmas Party and I took the kids up to where he was going to sit down before he came in so we wouldn't have to wait forever in line to see him. I got TRAMPLED by lots of kids scrambling to get in line to sit on his lap! I ended climbing over some tables to escape but it was worth it.

We are dedicated Crossfitters in our home!! That's right--a tractor tire in the kitchen! We used it later to season some soup too--delicious!

4 months old

2010-12-04T10:50:00.000-08:00

Tea had her 4 month check up a few days early, I can't believe how fast time is going. She is such a sweet baby she loves to smile at us and has started to giggle. She loves to chew on her hands and has been sucking on her thumb once in a while. She has been working hard on getting some big cheeks that we love! She is a good sleeper which is a blessing for mom. She loves her brothers and they love her, they are very sweet on her. Hudson asked if he could marry Tea, because he loves her and wants her to stay in the family. I did some explaining that she is already in our family and we can't marry our sisters.

Stats

Weight 13 lbs 6 oz's

Height 23.75 inches

Grandma Lil and Grandpa Lindz sent the kids a fun early Christmas package. In side they got some cute Christmas pj's, socks, gingerbread house to decorate, and some fun Christmas crafts that they have been loving! Thank they loved it!

Brian Head

2010-12-04T10:44:00.000-08:00

We had a nice thanksgiving this year with the Frampton family. We went over to Uncle Sam's and Aunt Dee Dee's. It was fun to have Thanksgiving with some family, we did miss our good friends the Draves who where kind enough to have us over for the two that they lived in PR for. They are dear friends and I miss them.

After Thanksgiving on Friday we were invited by our good friends the Juarez's to come stay at there family's cabin with them for the weekend. We have been friends since we lived in West Jordan when Hudson was a baby. They just recently moved to California a few months after we moved back and we miss them! It was so fun to go and spend some time with them and Riva's parents.

Remy going on a snowmobile ride with Papa Tim, he was so nice to take the kids on rides and even let Travis take one for a spin.

All bundled up ready to go. I didn't take very many pictures like I wish I would have, Hudson helped pick out a tree and Travis cut it down. It is a fun tree and I am glad they let us do that because it was free, we can handle that!

The adults had fun playing cards into the night once the kids were all asleep. We played a never ending game of phase 10 and then some cribbage. We had some good laughs! Thanks for the fun time guys!

Snow Days

2010-12-04T10:20:00.000-08:00

The kids have been having a lot of fun playing in the snow. Hudson likes it and lasts longer than Remy.

We have been doing a few work outs in the snow, big climate change for us! Travis works outside more than I do I am more of a wimp and do it in the house.

Remy just waiting for someone to help him out. He can usally climb in and out without help but all the snow gear makes it difficult.

Hudson helping Remy put his shoes back on, yeah we went and bought them some boots the next day.

Catch up

2010-12-04T10:07:00.000-08:00

Tea is staring to stand up when we hold her up, she is getting so big and chunky! Don't mind the saggy wet diaper it was time for baths and I promise she got a new diaper after!

Girl time, Tea love to chat, It is so fun to have a baby girl to dress up and I can't wait to do more with her. I hope I can be as good as mom to her as mine was to me. She is my best friend and it is weird to go a few day without talking to her.

You can't really see in these pictures because her cheeks are to wide, she got her ears pierced a few weeks ago. Travis really wanted to so he had to be the mean one to take her. She did really good, I didn't like them at first because it made her look to grown up but they have grown on me and she is pretty cute with them.

Hudson asked us to take a picture of him with all him potato men he created.

Doing homework one night before bed, he is learning so much and has been reading for a few months now. It is fun to see how fast they learn. He was helping teach Remy some letters and there sounds. It took twice as long to do homework that night but at least Remy was enjoying it too. Hudson has also really been into doing projects. He will pull out some paper, scissors, glue, and tape and create just about anything. He has used most our supplies up. He has such a great imagination and it so fun to see him grow up!

Trying out the bumbo chair for the first time, the boys love it and clapped for her!

Happy Halloween

2010-12-04T09:02:00.000-08:00

For Halloween this year we went to Delta to spend time Travis family. We had a lot of fun and it was defiantly colder for us than it has been for the past 3 years in PR. Hudson was so excited this year, it is so fun to have kids it makes holidays even more fun!

Remy was spider man, Tea was a fairy and Hudson a pirate

For dinner we had goblin sandwiches, mummies, veggies, and Blood thirsty punch. Hudson kept asking what kid of drink we were having while I was making it and I told him it was blood. He was a little worried at first then decided that I was teasing him.

Cute Paisley loved the punch as well, all the kids looked like the joker after drinking it from the red sugar on the glass rim.

Visitors and Sick boys

2010-10-26T12:57:00.000-07:00

Our good friends the Yost's from Puerto Rico came by to visit on Saturday. We went to lunch and then went to our house to visit and let the kids play. It was so nice to see them, we really are missing our friends from PR. Travis raked a big pile of leaves for the kids to play in.

Bronson and Kalie

Hudson would have Travis bury him then he would jump out. It made me itchy just watching.

Having so much fun playing in the leaves!

Hudson brought home his first book from school to read! He is growing up so fast, I am so proud of him. He is doing so good and loves school! I love you buddy!

Remy put this cup on his foot and was walking around the house then refused to not take it off to go get Travis from school.I couldn't figure out why he was doing it, He showed Travis when we got back and he laughed and said he is being the guy from How to Train a Dragon movie. Then I understood it, its his peg leg! Funny Boy! I love you Remy you are such a funny boy thanks for always making your mom laugh.

Last Tuesday night the boys all woke up throwing up, they all had food poisoning. What a fun long night. They all ended up sleeping in the play room because it was the easiest way to clean it up. They had all gone to lunch at KFC before coming to pick me up from the airport last Tuesday. Won't be going there ever again.

North Carolina visit

2010-10-26T12:17:00.000-07:00

I was able to go and take Tea to meet Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Bethany! It was such a nice trip. Grandma Ber and Grandpa Fuddy came along with me it was nice to have traveling companions. We mostly just sat around and visited and they cuddled with Tea, I don't think that Tea got put down once other than to sleep at night. She was a hit! I am so grateful for my parents example! It has been hard to be back in Utah and not have my parents and Bethany here to see. I think that this will be a long year and a half until they are done, I am trying not to worry about it. This summer we are all going out to see them when Parley gets home from his mission, I am really looking forward to that. Thank goodness for skype, it is so nice to be able to have the boys see them!

Four generations

One last picture before heading to the airport. One of my favorite things about having kids is seeing them interact with there Grandma's and Grandpa's and Aunts and Uncles! My kids are lucky to have such a great extend family who loves them so much.

Don't mind my wrinkly face and double chin I just loved the face Tea is making!

2 months old! My parents yard is so green and pretty so I took Tea out to try to get some pictures of her.

Four Generations. I was so excited when I asked Grandma Ber to come along on the trip she said yes right away. I was so excited to get a picture of us four.

Cute Great grandparents!

Aunt Beth! I love my sister so much and miss her! I keep teasing her that she needs to come and go to USU! She is such and awesome example to me, and a great Aunt to the kiddos! Love you Beth!

It was so fun to see my parents and Beth hold Tea and fight over her! She had some good smiles for them.

Sleeping with Tea, the stress reliever!

2 Months old!

2010-10-11T18:33:00.001-07:00

October 10th 2010

I can't believe that she is already 2 months old! The time goes so fast. She is such a good baby, she gives me a few long stretches at night so I am able to get some good sleep and be able to function the next day. She is such a joy and a blessing to have in our home. I am pretty sure she has the sweetest smile and disposition. Her brothers love her and adore her. I love watching them talk to her to get a smile, they even talk in a higher voice like we all do when we talk to baby's, why is it that we do that? We love you baby girl, thank you for coming to our family!

2 month stats

Weight : 11 lbs 52 percentile

Height : 23 1/2 inches 90th percentile

Green Canyon

2010-10-11T18:18:00.000-07:00

October 10th 2010

We went up the canyon to see the leaves on Sunday afternoon. I love the fall when all the leaves are changing colors it is so pretty. The boys had a fun time hiking around.

Brady and Alley stayed for a little bit after the blessing to visit.

Tea's Blessing

2010-10-11T17:12:00.000-07:00

I am so grateful to be a mom and wife nothing makes me happier. We are so happy to have Tea in our family she brings such a sweet spirit to our home. She has the best big brothers who love her so much. Travis did such a nice job and I am so grateful for a loving husband that holds the priesthood and is worthy to use it.

Travis family, we sure missed Hollie and Adie. I am so thankful for Travis' family they are awesome. It is days like this that I miss my Parents and Beth the most. I am so glad that I get to see them in four days!!! Brady and Alley came and stayed with us, it always nice to have them here to visit. My Grandma and Grandpa Frampton, Aunt Coz, Aunt Jane, Uncle Dick, Cousin Sally and her two kids also traveled up for the blessing. It was so nice to have some family here.

Travis' Aunt Sage made this beautiful dress for her, I am so glad it still fit it is so pretty!

Proud Daddy!

I took a camera class in september, it was four nights one each week. It was a lot of fun to learn how to use my camera in manual and a few other basic photography items. I took the boys to the train tracks and they didn't want to be the best models this day.

Travis asked if this was there mug shot! Nope they just do this on there own.

Thankfully there was a plane that held Remy's attention for a second!

Tea has been smiling and started making cute noises back! I love when baby's start to do this, it is really fun to see the boys talk too her and she smilies and talks back.

I also love her little sneeze! Her hair is getting long enough to put a little clip in it, it is so fun to have a little girl.

It has been really fun to be close to cousins again. We sure miss Addie and can't wait to see her.

Bath time, she is really starting to enjoy them.

Remy loves baseball, he would hit the ball all day if you threw it to him. He also loves football and has loved going to a few USU games with Hudson and Travis.

Poor Hudson had the flu a few weeks ago. Thankfully he is the only one that got it and it only lasted a day. He was so week and feeling really crappy he would throw up then just want to lay on the bathroom floor for a while. I hate when my kids are sick I feel so bad for them.

Remy flying, Travis loves to throw the boys so high up they love it and every time and I don't!

Hudson cut his head open on conference weekend. Travis was gone so I got to be the nurse. Our mirror open up and he jumped up onto the sink and hit the corner right on his head. He probably could have used a stitch but I just decided to butterfly it. He had a sweet hair cut for a few days. I didn't want to cut it and have hair down my cast. His dad was nice and gave him a haircut a few days later.

It is so nice to be close to some family now, while in SL one weekend we went to visit my Grandparents.

Hudson asked Grandma Ber if they could make candy, he remembers doing this last summer. She was nice and took him to the store to buy some marshmallows. Remy and Hudson had fun taking turns dipping them in chocolate for every one. They also had a lot of fun playing outside on the playground, I wish I would have taken a picture of Grandpa Fuddy out there with them.

We also went and took Tea to meet Grandpa Thomas, it was so nice to see him. My Grandma Thomas passed away a few months ago and I am sure she got to hold Tea before coming to us. He is doing good and Hudson remembered that he has raspberry bushes and asked how they were growing. I swear he has the best memory he went with me and my mom two falls ago to pick raspberries and still remembers it!

Garden fun

My good friend Riva had her cute baby boy Gavin four days after I had Tea! We went to visit them for the day and Riva gave me a ton of yummy veggies from her awesome garden. The kids had a lot of fun helping pick the carrots and loved to eat them. It made me really excited to plant a garden next year.

Hudson, Tea, Remy, Viola, Gavin and Olivia. I am so gratful to have such an awesome friend and it is so nice that our kids all love to play and get along. It has been fun to see them more since we moved back. They just moved and we miss them!!!!

Hudson and Olivia, they both say they are going to get married one day and that Remy and Viola and Gavin and Tea will also get married. Fine with me we love the in-laws!
