Mr. Predicament

You might be getting sick of these pics of my Jax-Man in compromising situations, but I think that it is funny that it happens so often. Here he has tipped my clothes rack on top of him and has had to monkey his way out of it. He was mostly out by the time I got the camera, but he was quite intertwined. It was comical watching him grunt his way around and through the bars.

The other day I was busy making bracelets on my couch downstairs and Jax kept begging to sit with me. It's next to impossible to do bracelets and hold him, so I convinced him to sit right by me on the recliner. And there he sat, RIGHT by me. He was so cute all snuggled next to me. My little buddy, Jax. I love it!!

Reunion Season

Most all of July we reunion. We have 3 major reunions that take us all over. The first reunion is my big extended Phelps reunion that has had the tradition of being 4th of July weekend. We went down to Grantsville, Ut and spent the weekend there on Phelps Lane and had a ton of fun visiting with family and playing around. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pics of that.

The Gregersen Reunion is held in Island Park. We hauled the camper up there and camped for the weekend. Travis wasn't really suppose to have either of these weekends off, but he shuffled and called and got it all off. It was fun to have him to play with. The kids swam and boated and we all had fun being with family. Again, I was bad at taking pictures. I didn't take a single one.

This last weekend we went to Vernal UT for my family reunion with just my family. We did a two in one and my niece, Sariah, got baptized. So, we planned the reunion around that so we could all be there. Even my sister and her family from Minnesota was there. It was fun. I do have some pics of that. We did lots of fun things. My sis-in-laws family has a big fun 24th day of fun that they do every year and so we went to that. It was all games and prizes. Travis and I won 1st place in the washer toss competition with the prize of $100. We also one 1st place in the egg race with the prize of $20. We won 2nd in ladder ball and I won 2nd in jump rope and he won 3rd in tug of war. It was so much fun!! I would love to go every year. Travis and I rock at team playing. Saturday was Sahriah's baptism and then Sunday we went to Rock Springs and stayed over with Travis for the night. It was such a great weekend! Below are the pics I have of the events:

These first few pics are of the kids and there little games where everyone wins. The had ring tosses and throw the ball in the garbage can and fun little things like that. Then they did a water balloon toss. The kids had a great time with there cousins.

The following are all our winnings. :)

These two are Linnie's Sister, Carry, and her boyfriend, Casey. They were our fierce competitors. We went up against them twice in the major competitions. We won them once and they won us once. It was a lot of fun playing against them twice.

Sariah Lin Phelps in her baptism dress. So sweet.

Been Awhile.....

Isn't summer suppose to be nice and relaxing?!! That is what I thought, but I did do this to myself. I have never felt like I was a crazy, busy person. I haven't really been one to put my kids into things that commits me to a schedule. When I tell people that I have three kids and they say, "Wow, that must keep you busy!" I never felt that way. But this summer has opened my eyes to all you people out there that have that crazy, busy life. Harlee started Tennis on the 8th of June at 9 a.m. and a week later Bodie and Harlee started swim lessons at 10 a.m. Tennis is still going and swim was just two weeks long (ended last Thursday). So, I got us all kind of busy. Between lessons M-Th and Mom and Wife duties, plus my bracelet making, well, there hasn't been a lot of time for extra curricular activities. How is that for an excuse for not blogging? I haven't even been taking many pics to document my crazy past few weeks. I do have a couple though. So here they are. ...

This is Harlee at the top of the slide. She does the whole process by herself. She slides and swims to the edge all by herself. She is doing so well!

This is me and Laney at the Idaho Falls Chukars game. I won free tickets and so I found time in my busy schedule to go to a game. Thanks to the family for watching the kids! Laney and I had a blast yelling out encouraging baseball lingo to the players, "Good eye Brian!" It was a SO fun!! I LOVE hanging out with my baby sister!!

Baby Tayah

Wednesday, Tiffany had her baby. It was a girl and she is so precious!! She weighed some where around 7 lbs and looked SO tiny. She was adorable.

Harlee took her turn holding the little one and even jax had a turn. I didn't get a pic of that. It was cute though, cause he was trying to squeeze her like a teddy bear. He was, of coarse, facinated with her eyes and nose. He was cute with her.

Congrats Tiffany and Kyle!!

Memorial Day!

Memorial day we went to the cemetary to put flowers on Grandpa Hunsakers grave. The flowers were beautiful and Grandpa's headstone was so amazing!

Scandanavian Days

I got to go to Utah last weekend to spend time with my good friend Kelli. We have been friends since we were nannies about 9 years ago. It was so fun!! We went to Scandinavian days in Ephraim Utah, where she set up a booth to sell her little girl hair bows. They are super cute.

We also had some fun with some of her other products. I am sporting a tutu on my head.

The 2nd day of the festival there was a parade and one of the "floats" was the LDS missionaries. Talk about small town. :)

Field Trip...to the ZOO

On Monday I got to go on Harlee's 1st grade field trip to the Zoo in Idaho Falls. We started out with the "long" (according to the kids) bus ride there. This is Gracie and Mckenna.And Harlee was so happy to have me as her seat mate. :)

They have lots of things there for the kids to see and play on. This was right by the tigers. It is a big tiger. You can't really tell cause of all the kids on it. For those of you who grew up with Travis, the little girl in the very front is Chad Gregory's little girl, Lillie.

This is the Penguins. It is so refreshing to do things with kids cause they think EVERYTHING is SO exciting and amazing


The lions weren't very active this day. I don't know if that is good or bad. They were just being lazy sleeping in the sun. Their whole exhibit smelled liked dead animals. pew!!

They had this little barn and yard with goats in them that the kids could pet and brush. That was pretty exciting! Anything hands on usually is.

Giant turtle. There were 3 huge ones. HUGE! Wow!!

This is the "egg playland." Everything was centered around eggs. A chicken, a giant egg, and a nest.
