Double Baby Shower

September 5, 2011
Both Amanda and Paige were expecting their first child so I decided to throw them a shower to celebrate. 

I love these guys so much!

Mom and little sis

The girls with Grams....

We played a game with diapers filled with candy bars.  It was quite fun.  You had to try to figure out what kind of candy bar had melted in the diaper.  WITHOUT TASTING!  :)

YUMMMY!

Kyler looked disgusted at the idea.  He is even holding his nose!  SO funny

Paige and Craig are doing some investigative work...

Ewwww her nose is about to touch it!  She is so dang funny~

No tasting Celene!

Get used to handling those stinky diapers Craig.  There are going to be tons of them in your future!

Teresa's cute family!

Opening presents for the babies....

We had such a great turnout to support these guys...

Enjoying my cute little Nate

While the adults were in opening gifts and eating the kids played in the nursery.  These pictures are so dang cute!  I love my grandkids. They all play so well together!

Playing on the slide...

I am so excited for Kyler and Amanda.  They are going to have a little girl in a short while and I am sure they will be awesome parents. Congrats to the two of you!

Paige and Craig are expecting a little boy. I am so happy for you guys.  Enjoy your new little addition to your family! 

 It is so strange to see my niece and nephew about to be parents.  I remember when they both were born.  It doesn't seem that long ago.  My how time flies.  Congrats to each of you and best of luck in your new adventure as parents.  I love you so very much!

I had to laugh when I saw this balloon that someone brought.  It is so, so, so true!  I can't wait to meet their new little ones. 

Fishin' With the Boys....

August 13, 2011

We came into town and thought it would be a great time to go up to Strawberry Reservoir.  We had planned to rent a pontoon boat and take the kids as well as Mike up for the day.  When we arrived they did not have any rentals left so we were stuck with shore fishing instead.

It didn't seem to bother anyone except me.  The kids enjoyed themselves anyway.  Luke had the biggest smile on his face.  He was so excited

It was such a calm peaceful morning. 

 
Even Nate was enjoying himself. 

Luke was the first to catch something.  Even if it was NOT  a fish he still had a great time reeling it in.

Fishing was very, very slow but that did not stop the boys from having fun. Nathan and Bradley had a great time catching crawdads instead of fish

Jack looked as bored as I was.  I am the most impatient fisherwoman ever!  It is so BORING fishing from the shore.

Lots of sitting around and not much action but it is not bothering some of them.

He's still smiling!

Even Nate was enjoying himself

FINALLY....someone caught something!  I think Mike was the first!  Can't believe there are actually fish in this area.  Maybe they were all just SLEEPING!  WAY TO GO MIKE

Nate wanted to have a try at it...

Ty just chillin' and listening to his book on tape

Mommy showing Nate how it is done.....

What a cutie-pa-tootie!

"I'm gettin' the hang of this"

No bites for Tyson....

Pretty flowers along the trail to our fishing spot

We took Nate into the car to relax and play a while.  He just LOVES to stand behind the wheel of the car and pretend he is driving.  He was full of giggles!

Dad stopped by for a SCARE!  He was laughing so hard at his dad. I wish I had captured it on video.  It was so cute!

Finally all of that sitting around that Brayden did finally paid off.  He caught a fish!!!! He wanted his picture taken with it but he  just did NOT want to touch it!

That's when Grandma T comes in handy!

Mike was a good sport as he helped the boys bring in a fish or two.

Luke caught a fish!  YAY

Even Nate had a bite....

Luke was our "Net Man"

Yep...still smiling!

Brayden enjoyed the pads of paper and was drawing pictures of the day.  He is such a cute kid

Patience is wearing thin.  No more smiles...he wants a FISH!

This picture sums up and describes my day.  Just sitting around in hopes for a stinkin' fish to jump out of the water.  Slow fishing days are NO fun.  I would much rather be on the pontoon so that if it is slow we could drive to a different fishing hole.  Oh well, it was quite nice gathering as family and enjoying the beautiful day. It was just NOT my favorite day at Strawberry!  Oh well maybe next time~
