I Know, I know, its a miracle!!!

WOW!!! its amazing i know, i'm finally updating this.  I've found Facebook, so my blog has been neglected. But a really quick update on us, We are all doing good. Peyton loves 1st grade & is doing excellent in it!!! She did have a bit of a problem with a kid bullying her but we've handled that, i hope. She turned 7 in Nov. her party theme this year was Hannah Montana, its crazy to think she's getting into that kind stuff now. Gavin stays home with me, next year he'll go to pre-school, he's really into trucks & Camoflauge?? not sure where that comes from but its cute the stuff they come up with. The pics. i've added are pretty random, but hey at least there is some....

An update..

So here is a quick update of what we've been up too.. Over the 4th we went camping. It was alot of fun and very relaxing!!  We've been hanging out at the aquatic center quite a bit, since its been hot!! This last Sat. the kids and i went to one of the many Pioneer day festivities, we rode on a stage coach then every hour on the hour they would re-enact a robbery it was fun to watch. On Sunday we went to the fireworks at WSU, got rained on just enough to cool us off, all in all its been fun. Lots of Pics. so enjoy...

An update..

Lagoon..

So its been awhile since i've blogged!! this past thursday we took the kids to Lagoon. My parents came with us, my dad loves to play the games and win the kids animals!! Peyton  Gavin had a ball!! We figured out Gavin has no fear!! Peyton wanted to go on a "big " ride she is tall enough so Brady & I took her on the spider, which right at the end she was screaming i want to get off!! But later on she said i want to go ride the spider again... It was fun to see the smiles and joy in them.  Friday was Brady's bday, Happy birthday!! When he got home from work we gave him his presents, then went to dinner. Today (sat.) we are heading up to Morgan to celebrate fathers day with my family. pics. to come...

The dog bite..

So some of you already know but Peyton was bitten by her friends dog, well puppy. It happened Wed. afternoon. This was the first time i let her go to this friends house. She usually came here to play. About a half hour after being there our door bell rings and it was Peyton and Abby's mom. My heart just sank as i looked at her cheek. We took her to the ER and she had to get 3 stitches, which she did amazing!! The doctor was great made her feel very comfortable. It is healing nicely, hopefully minimal scaring.
School is out the 29th. Her last soccer game for this season is this Sat. the 16th. Gavin is doing good. He has the funniest personality, we can joke about things and he understands it. Not sure if thats good or not at only 2. Will be 3 June 27th.
Other than that things are pretty good.

some random photos.

A little updating...

Sorry i've been slacking in the blogging dept. Plus i have pics. on my camera that i need to add to this but it always seems like my batteries are dead!!! Even when i buy the re-chargeable ones!! Anyway a quick update.... Brady's work has gotten busy, wahoo... I feel bad that he has to work such long hours though. He just got called to be Scout Master and we're still in primary. Scout Master he will like, it'll be kinda a challenge managing work and that but it'll all work out.

Our Easter was fun. Peyton played soccer that morning (she really loves playing and is pretty good, sorry but have to brag about my child a bit.. she scored 5 goals her last game.) after the soccer game we went to Michele's for lunch with the family, colored eggs, and the kids enjoyed a Easter hunt, a big hunt, i believe Grandma Shell hid 96 eggs!! Then Brady had a bit of an accident...  Let me just say when Brady, Brett, Adam and Marcus get together they do some funny but not the smartest things. Brady and Brett were swinging on this rope like chair and it broke while in mid air, the dowel hit Brady in the nose and he landed on his head. Brett being a bit more agile landed okay from what i seen. We thought the worst that happened was a bloody nose but turns out by Monday morning Brady was acting weird, couldn't stand up straight, had double vision, ect...   So i took him to the ER and the verdict was a concasion and from the jar to the head a bit of cross eyedness.  All is well now though, his eyes fixed themselves. Lesson learned from this was he's not as young as he thinks... Besides that we are all doing good. Enjoying the nice weather.. I will get pics. posted....

Sleep over with GMA Joni & going to the living Planet..

So its been awhile since i posted.. Been kinda crazy here.. Anyway last Sat. night my mom, Gma Joni, came for a sleepover.(Peyton had been buggin her about for a long time)So when she got here we made cookies, then set up a treasure hunt for the kids to find treats and the movies we'd be watching. Next we took the kids to my mom's friends house to pet/see the animals which included about 15 cats(gross), a horse, dog, donkey, and two huge bulls!! They loved it. Gavin liked the bulls the most. Peyton the donkey cuz it looked just like the one on Shrek.  After that we came home ate dinner and watched Milo & Otis & the Sandlot. I'll be posting pics. of the eventful day soon.   

On Monday Brady got home early cuz of the snow(plus its pretty slow in the construction industry, hope it picks up. kinda scary!!!) so we decided to take the kids to the living planet aquarium in Sandy. It wasn't as good as i expected but was ok, Peyton and Gavin had fun so that made it good. Sorry i am rambling on...
