Birthday fit for a PRINCESS...........

My Birthday was about a month ago..I am still recovering from the Shock of being the Big 33. Angela threw me a little party with some family and friends. Kyah picked out the cake..which would explain the princess theme and Gage gave me the best birthday present ever. Thanks to all who celebrated with me.

Princess cake...lovely isn't she..so tasty!!
Me and Kyah with the cake. She was so excited to surprise me. She know me so well.
Gage will never let me spike his hair or do anything fun with it..but for my birthday he came down stairs with this awesome hair do..Thanks bud!!

Bumper Boats....

While T and Linds were here we went to Liberty Land (not sure I would recommend it). Pretty sure we went on the hottest day and of course their air conditioning broke and none of the video games were usable. The last thing we did was the bumper boats, to cool us off. Gage actually controlled his own boat and did a pretty darn good job. I think his favorite part was spraying everyone. We also went and did laser tag. T and Gage versus me and Ang. It was hilarious and hot. Gage was pretty sneaky and he loved it.

T and Henry..he lasted 2 seconds..then he came and hung with me!!



Gage was awesome..he was going after everyone.

Angela and Kyah...she loved it.

Oh T..pretty sure Gage just got him wet.

Angela and Linds teaming up..battling the boys

T after Linds

Ang to the rescue..T caught in the Cross fire.

Gage actually had the nerve to come after me and Henry..he succeeded with a shot straight the the face..it actually felt quite good.

Happy 4th...a little late..

The 4th of July at my house in Washington...well..there is never a dull moment. The boys pretty much take over and we pray that the house is still standing, a car hasn't blown up, and there are no serious injuries (burns). I think T was the only one to walk away with about 2nd degree burns..that is what happens when you play firework games. I didn't even think people went to firework shows until I moved to Utah..I don't mind firework shows, but I think I would rather stay home and have my own show. I won't lie sometimes I get a little nervous..but everything ends up ok!!

Hunter and his girlfriend..did I just say that..is he old enough!! He is the youngest, the older he gets the older I get..HELP!!!

TJ, Lindsay and baby Henry

Some of the girls...Linds, Me, Tasha, tripp, and Janelle..Nice face I have!!

TJ helping the babe with his first sparkler!! He actually did hold it..but it ended up on the ground!

Randy (cousin) he is the shortest and 4 of my brothers..getting ready to start the show...they were the first part of the show!! They are smiling now!!

This would be the boys all sitting in a circle throwing bees at each other and jumping flowers..the rules..you can't move..of course they move..how could you not. We did have some serious good laughs at their expense..several went down shorts..TJ has proof, I am sure it will leave a nice scar..he always gets the worst of it..why is that?

Rocky and Janelle

Planning the big finale..6 tubes, 6 lighters.....SUCCESS!! Amazing that they got them all off at the same time..TWICE!!

Baseball Stud!!

I am finally back in Utah!!! My first event was seeing one of Gage's baseball games. He loves his baseball and loves having as many fans as possible!! It was great fun!!

Ready for Action....

Tired of waiting for action...

Finally getting some action....what a stud!!

Running the bases...

Rounding third...heading home..looking at us to make sure we are cheering...so hilarious!!

Finally a few NICE days...

While in Washington I have been working as a nanny and the weather has not been great!! Finally we had three straight days a excellent weather. The best part about being a nanny 24/7 is that they live on a lake...not the kids...ha ha totally kidding. It was great to sit on the dock put my good ole feet in the water and threaten them all when they tried to throw me in. Ha Ha!!

Look you can actually see Mt. Rainier...


View from the Dock...Yep that is a plane on the right!!


George volunteering to be buried in the sand...pretty sure he regretted that decision..
George, cousin Emmanuel (sitting on George) and Reid getting ready to dump sand some more sand.
I am taking Reid to school...I couldn't get him to stop talking..I think someone stayed up too late playing xbox..

My new BFF...

I have been in good ole Washington for the last 6 weeks...I have taken every moment to get to know my nephew Henry..We are pretty much BFF...totally inseparable..I am sure he is sick of me but whatevs....I don't get to see him too much since I live in Utah..and I will be returning soon!! I must get all the snuggles, kisses and play time that I can before I leave. He is a snuggler..I love it!!

Henry and I at Lake Trask...chillin in the car..

He loves my sunglasses....they are the size of his head!
I have watched him just about every Friday...and this is him taking a nap..when he is tired..he conks out anywhere!
He loves to play in the dog kennel..too bad it is not allowed..oops!!
Us at Lake Trask...I get him to smile..pretty good..considering I am taking the picture!
Once again in the Dog Kennel...Oops!

PS...I totally had more pictures, but I accidentally deleted them..so ticked..this is what ya get!

My Brother the Curler...

Apparently my Brother Brad has taken up curling, so while I was in Washington I was able to go and see one of his matches! It was a little more entertaining than i thought! This was his first year doing it. He joined the curling club and got placed on a team with an Asian couple and this older guy...It was pretty funny!! They won their match in the very end, Nice! I also learned a few things about curling, for instance when someone bites it you shouldn't laugh, I struggled with that one and I also learned that where ever there is a curling club comes a bar. Apparently Curling and Drinking go hand in hand!!! Who'd have thought!!

Brad is pushing the rock (not the thing you push on the ice that glides, learned the proper term real quick) Check out that form!!!

Brad and older guy helping guide the rock. Brad is on the left!

Brad, Older guy, and the cute Asian girl trying to place the rock in the perfect spot...right in the middle..I do believe they did!! Brad on left again!
