Jaycee and Ellie

On the 22nd of April, Jaycee officially bought her own hamster...and her name is Ellie. She is a fluffy little thing, and she makes Jaycee extremely happy! These pictures are taken a month later...May 30th and she is adapted quite well to her surroundings!!
And I just love this picture!!!!

Tanner's 1st Year in the Minor League

And we graciously sponsored his team this year! Tanner was excited to have his Dad's business (Center Collisiion) printed on his shirt. We had shirts, hats and warm-up jackets printed for the team, and they looked sharp!


Here's our team and 3 coaches

Tanner got to pick his number, and since he LOVES Ken Griffey...he chose his number 24,...and very appropriate since
Griffey retired this year!!
Our team with their jackets on...minus 1 boy who forgot his...there's always 1!

Tanner's up to bat!

We have such fun Parent's on our team...it's always sad when it's over! Tanner had a good time this year, our team was a younger team, so we didn't have the greatest stats, but all in all he's glad he moved up to minor's!

The best DAD!

This is the guy~ He's a pretty amazing Dad!!
And we kinda like him!
We gave him this card that had this button on it (cheesy I know!) It says Wear this button to show your position of authority in the family..."I'm the boss". Then inside the card it reads "But don't forget to give it back to MOM tommorrow!!"

Tanner grillin' Dad a big ole' fatty rib eye steak!

A great day!!

September 2, 2010 is the big day in the Mount Timpanogos Temple!

Whoa..I'm behind!!

Gotta be better at this blogging thing!! Kev and I went to Maui the 23-30th of April, and it was AMAZING!! I absolutely LOVED Maui!! It was 7 days of absolute PARADISE!!We met up with some friends of ours from St. George Ut. Greg and Shay Lund, and it was so nice to have another couple to hang out in the evenings with. We did our own things during the day, then met up at night....so much fun!!I love all the trees, leaves, (look at the leaves on this tree for example!) and the scenery of this place...I couldn't soak it in enough...nor could we see everything there is to see here...we will definately be coming back to visit again!!
So....I really do love my life...my dear husband, and my sweet Family!! We are so blessed to be able to travel and be active in the things we choose to do together!!

Weekend with my girls!!

So, when I saw that Southwest had $75 each way tickets to SLC from Seattle...I had to jump on it!! And hadn't seen these two since Christmas!! It was time!! We made hair flowers, played games, LAUGHED, and literally SHOPPED till' we dropped!! I think I counted 22 stores in 2 1/2 days!!! So much fun!!
Megan took these photo's of us and I'm so grateful!! I will NEVER turn down a photoshoot with my kids!!!
These two are the bestest of friends,,,Sisters, and Roomies in Provo!!

It was fun to see their apartment decorated all cute and spend some time with just them!

And I had to meet Sean...Kaylee adores him, and they are the CUTEST couple!!!

I think they make an amazing couple as well...It was great to get to know him a little better!!

Not so Lucky!

No sooner did I finish my monthly banner that I make for downstairs..."LUCKY"....then I...well~ ..........here's the story! Kev and I Are certifying to scuba dive!! I sure though I was going to freeze in the Sound...but I was wrong...these things keep you warm!!

"Kev and I and one of our instructors...Israel" We had done our 2 dives and had taken our 1 hour surface interval then headed back down to the water. All geared up and ready for our 3rd dive...and we were going down to the pipe line and to see the octupus...soooo exciting! We had some logs to step over which were embedded in the sand....I didn't have my glasses on...mask and fins in both hands, when I thought I stepped over the log...must not have lifted my leg high enough (heavy weights and tank).
Next thing I know...I was smashing into this huge log...FACE first!!
I thought I was dead at first...it hurt soooooooo dang bad!! But when I saw blood dripping and felt with my tongue to see if all my teeth were still in my mouth...I realized what had just happened! This wasn't good...and there would be NO 3rd dive today...dang it!!!

While waiting for the ambulance...my sweet husband did a great job keeping me conscious, I just wanted the pressure to go away...and to die at that moment would have felt much better!! ha ha~not a good idea really...but I never remember a time in my life where I hurt that bad!!

I have a GREAT appreciation for EMT's...even more so than I ever did before...they were amazing!! They had to peel my wet suits off of me...luckily I had a suit underneath!! They sweated like crazy with the heat on full blast in the ambulance so that I could keep warm while my body was in shock and I had a wet swimsuit on....placed warm water bottles all around me to warm me up...they were so kind!!!! The one guy said..."when we get to the hospital, you can tell your husband that the ambulance guys got you all hot and bothered!!" lol...I so had wished I could have laughed...he was cracking me up!!

This is Kevin taking a photo of the ambulance while following me to the hospital...he thought...,"she's gonna want a picture of this later"!

And I think he was so releaved to have me being taken care of! He was a mess that day!! Naturally...I would have been much worse had it been him that had fallen!!
So to make a long story short...after 6 hours in the ER...a broken nose in several places, 30 stitches to my face...torn ligaments in my left foot....I was able to go home!!And let the healing begin!! This is day 3 after my CRASH...and the bruising got much worse as you can imagine... We had a friend come into town a week later...so I had some covering up to do!! Amazing what make-up and my glasses can do to hide the MESS!!

7 days later!

And..,I am SO grateful for my sweet husband, kids and friends who helped me heal...I truly had administering angels watching over me!! When our instructors came to the house a few days later... I was so grateful that I had hit where I did! They said I hit this HUGE bump on the log that stuck up....it so could have been my eye or all my teeth...whew!!
Definately a blessing!

Now after 3 weeks, we are finally taking our last 2 dives to certify! Then Maui on the 23rd to dive in the tropical waters with the beautiful things in their waters!!

I just can't even imagine what it's going to be like swimming with turtles and all those beautiful colored fish!! CAN'T wait!!
