Happy Birthday to ME!!

I tried to write this the other day and got it all typed out and ready to post and I hit something and it erased the whole thing. So here I am typing it all again....On my birthday I planned ahead and got a babysitter to come for most of the day. I was able to go to lunch with my sis-in-law, Tiffany (thanks Tiff for lunch!!), and my little sis, Laney. We went to Costa Vida in Pocatello and it was super yum! We were able to get in some light shopping and the we headed home and was greeted with this:

Travis had written this all out and then Harlee and Bodie filled it all in. I can still see it today.
That evening we went to a ward BBQ for dinner and then afterwards I was surprised with family at the house for a little party. Travis planned it all out so that I would still have a bday party on my day. It always seem to land that we celebrate both our birthdays on his day, and then I don't really get a celebration, but Travis planned this little party and it was so sweet that he did. He bought me balloons, flowers and plants for my gardens and then our parents came over. It was great!!

He even got this banner to decorate with

And he bought me this crown. I SO wish that he would have given it to me that morning cause anyone who knows me, knows I would have totally worn it the whole day and LOVED it! He said he knew that and he didn't want me embarrassing him at the ward bbq. After all these years and you think that he would be okay being embarrassed by me. hmph...

Jax, of coarse wanted to help me blow the candles out. He was super cute! No, I did not turn 5, but once you hit a certain age, the candles shouldn't over power the cake, and mine definitely would have :)

Thanks to all who made my day special. It was fabulous!! I always love my birthday!!

Happy BirthdaysTo Travis!!

Well, Travis' birthday was last Wednesday and we had a big bash for him. Everyone who is Anyone showed up :) The Phelps Clan, The Gregersen Clan, We had some friends come too! It was fun, we had homemade Cheesecake and Cherry pie, his favorites.

Travis and his friend Matt even got to take there turn on the swing set.

T-Ball Season!

Here he is Mr Star Tball player. Okay, so maybe not. This is the first year we have put Bodie in something and he was all excited, until we got there. As soon as we got his jersey and hat he started to cry. He is definitely the shy kid in the family. His coaches were so nice and patient with him. He got comfortable and then had a ton of fun. His team is The Rockies.

Here he is being the catcher. It wasn't until the end of the hour that he really started to get the hang of things. He was a good sport and ended up having a great time.

Of coarse Jax wanted to be involved.....funny kid!

Rain, Hail, and Snow....

Well, just like I warned ya. Pictures from camping. We went up past Idaho Falls this year. Near Spencer Idaho. It was fun and pretty and cold. Well, Friday and Saturday it rained near all day, but then Sunday and Monday it cleared up and was quite nice. Well, normal for Memorial Day weekend anyway.

Here is Jax-man enjoying the great outdoors. He loved being outside and riding the 4-wheelers! He had a blast! One of the families we went with had a little wagon that they hooked up to the 4wheeler and rode the little kids around. The cute little girl riding around with Jax is Payton, For those of you from here, it is Casey Polatis' baby. So cute!

Here is Zoey and Harlee Sue. The rode and rode and rode their 4wheelers. I am almost positive they had SO much fun the entire time!

Harley-Man and Bodie with their stick guns. They were constantly exploring and getting super wet in the rain and the little creek nearby. Bodie went through a lot of socks that weekend!

Here they are making the loop through camp. This is what they did every spare minute that they could.

It was so much fun and even though it rains every year, we always go and we always have a blast! It is So much fun taking the family camping. I love it!!

Graduation of a baby girl!

Last Thursday I attended my baby sisters graduation. The Last graduation I have to attend for about 10 years. There she is in the distance, I forgot my camera and had to use my phone. It doesn't have a zoom. Laney is the white blur in the front:)

Her she is..isn't she cute...I mean so mature!

Laney tried to save us seats all together, but it didn't work. So I sat by Chad and Laina and Clark and Kristy and Mom and Dad sat across the gym.

A Garden!!

I FINALLY have a Garden!! We have lived in our house for 5 years and I have never had a garden. Never ever, since we have been married. I have planted tomatoes and onions and peppers here and there in little spots, but now I have an official garden. I am so excited and scared. I have just planted red potatoes, onions and carrots. Then in June I will be adding jalapenos, butternut squash, pumpkin, and tomatoes. I think that is all. I am trying to keep it small, due to my first time and all. So wish me luck......I will definitely need it :)

I know....I know...

So it has been awhile...Here is a quick update:

First of all, with the changing of the seasons, and allergies acting up, my little one got an ear infection. He suffers from seasonal allergies and it seems that whenever a stuffy nose starts, an ear infection closely follows. I always know he isn't feeling good when he can fall asleep in my lap.

Travis and I were able to attend a Ryan Shupe concert. It was SO fun and amazing! Thank you Rachelle for gettting us tickets! If you ever have the chance to attend, take it! They are So entertaining!!

I went on Harlee's field trip with her. We went to the fire department and then to a local grocery store and learned how they function and do what they do so that we can do what we do. We finished off with going to the park and listening to a park ranger and then eating lunch and playing. It was fun!

This last weekend Harlee, Laney and I took a trip to SLC, Ut. I visited a couple of friends and we stayed in a hotel and went to IKEA (fun store!). Travis had the boys for Father's and Sons campout, and so Harlee and I decided to do somethin fun too. It was great to have Laney along and great to have a little mother daughter get-away. Sorry no pics of that. Other news to give you all the latest, Harlee and I are reading the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series together. I grew up with my mom reading to us and I hope to do the same for my kids. Harlee has been coming home each day all excited to hear me read more in the book. It's cute and I enjoy sharing that time with her. The boys are a little young to listen to such a long story. Bodie hangs with us sometimes to listen, but it doesn't last long. I can't think of anything else that is pressing. I promise more pics and news soon. We have Memorial Weekend coming up and we are going camping, it should be fun!
