BABY

Happy Halloween!!

We had the best time at the family party!  We had games, games, and more games!!  The hit of the party seemed to be eating donuts from a string.....way harder than I ever imagined...no-one should have to work so hard for such goodness! 

Thanks Jenny & Sam for having it at your house and thanks to Josh & Andrea for putting it all together....I am still disappointed that you didn't dress up......:)

Here are some pictures of our fun night!  (um the pictures are cut off...so I will have to fix that so you can see the whole pic...but for now this is all I have!)

Happy Anniversary

Today is our 2 year anniversary!! I couldn't be happier, and I married the most wonderful man!! Thank you sweetie for all that you do, you are the best!! Much love!

ps.....I wish we were back in Mexico where we tied the knot!!....it was much warmer!! ;)

to all my fellow bloggers.....I will update more later, I have been super busy with starting a new job and such....but I promise to post pictures of all that has been going on!

Big night of Scouts!!

Braxton has been working very hard in Scouts and we are so proud of him.  He has earned his Tenderfoot, First Aid, Swimming, and Indian Lore!!  Way to go buddy, your dad and I are always so proud of your accomplishments!!

Yes, those boys standing next to Braxton are his same age!!  :)  Good thing the boy loves Basketball....we are sure if he keeps growing and continues to play ball like he is, he will be supporting us with his salary he earns in the NBA!!!  :)

Cafe Mo!!

I am not much of a cook, but I am starting to make more and more home-made meals, which is healthier for me and my family!!

Tonight I made chicken salad......cafe rio style, without all the extra fat!!  I know it was good.....because even Braxton ate it and didn't complain about it being healthy!!

Total Calories-445

1 tortilla

2 tbs  salsa

1/4 c black beans

1/4 c (or less) shredded cheese

1/4 c onion

2 c romaine lettuce

1 chicken breast

mix the salsa in the chicken, cook beans, 

caramelize onions (yum), melt the cheese on the tortilla.  Place tortilla in a bowl and fill with ingredients listed above....and Presto you have a delicious dinner!!  

Enjoy!  

Back to Normal.....

Well there it is.....less than 24 hours and I am feeling much better about my laundry situation!!  LOL

What I should be doing....

I really should be cleaning up my laundry room instead of updating my blog!!......hahaha, I should be to embarrassed to post pictures of this mess, but I am sure all of you have had this very same moment!!  I swear it is never ending, especially when you return from vacation!  I feel I should point out that some of the cleaners are out and I am attempting to fold...LOL!!  Okay enough is enough I am going to go clean this mess up, I will post again with the end result!  Wish me luck!!! 

First Day of 6th Grade!!

Well school has started again!!  Braxton is big guy on campus now that he is a sixth grader!!  I can't believe how time flies, it seems like yesterday I was taking him to kindergarten :( now that he is in sixth grade I found out that it is not "cool" to have your mom drop you off or take pictures in front of the school!  I did get some photos pre-drop off!!  hahaha

Have a great year buddy, we love you!

VEGAS 2008

Sleep over Birthday party + All Day at Seven Peaks =

One TIRED Boy!!  In bed and fast asleep by 6PM  :)

Weekend Update.....

Friday night we went to see the new Batman movie! I had heard it was a must see.....and I do have to agree, it was really good, a bit dark and more scary than I would have thought batman to be! I was glad that I didn't listen to others that said it would be okay to take Braxton to see it....I think he would have nightmares of clown faces for the rest of his life! What a great job Heath did in playing the Joker!!

Saturday was the big Alpine Days!! We started the morning off with the 5K run, everyone did really good, I was especially proud of Braxton for doing it .... and not only doing it, but he did it with a great attitude!! After the run we headed over to the fireman's breakfast and ate rubber pancakes, and what I think was processed eggs...you know the ones the served in school....YUM lol!! After that we hit the parade and then onto the car show....and finally to the festivities at the park. This year they had a bunch of the big inflatable slides and some of them were ones with water. Braxton played there all day and won a lot of soda!!

After a long day at the park we went ahead and finished good ole Alpine days off with a BBQ and some delicious smore's.....not the original smore's you see in the picture above, but keebler elf mint cookies with a roasted mellow...DELICIOUS!!! Then we ended the wonderful day with the firework show at the park!!

Hiking

A couple of weeks ago we went hiking up to Timp Cave!  We took the trail, no back side extra hard hiking this time.....maybe next time.  It was a lot of fun, we went with Jenny, Sam, and their kids everyone did really well !  If you haven't hiked it, now is a great time to see how beautiful and green the canyon still is!  I do have to say that Ranger Josh was not the best tour guide, he kinda ruined the whole cave experience!!  He didn't even show us the Pillsbury Dough Boy.....jerk!!  :)  P.S. that is not a picture of our group!!

Wasatch Back!!

It has been awhile since my last blog....I will try to remember everything that we have been doing over the last 2 months!!

I ran my first race, and what a race it was!!! Nothing like starting with Wasatch Back, 181 miles, team of 12......run, run, maybe sleep...who am I kidding you don't sleep, drive, and run some more! I do have to say this race was really fun, the girls that were on my team were super fun, we laughed alot....many, many good memories! I think I did pretty good considering I didn't train much (I will train for next year!!) LOL Our team name was Wasatch Women, not our favorite...but we weren't being real creative when it was crunch time to think of a name! We are getting signed up for next year and we are going to do couples so it will be fun to have Ray racing with me next time!!

Team Photo (not sure how my leg was bending like that.....:))

Pretty sweet headlamps!! We are getting ready for out night run!

As soon as I finished with the race we went right to the Losee family reunion. I am sure it was a great time for everyone.....I pretty much laid out a blanket and caught up on some serious needed shut eye!! The kids played games and won lots of candy and as always the auction was a great success!

Hope of America

Last night was the performance of Hope of America. About 7000 kids from all over the Alpine School District put on this wonderful singing performance. Along with the kids performing there are many other little performances!! One of my favorites are the "Golden Girls" they are a dance team of blue hairs that get out on the floor and shake it......and at the very end a 91 year old lady shakes on the floor by herself and then ends the performance in the full SPLITS!!! She is awesome!!! I can't imagine doing the splits at my age!!

Braxton was part of the flag this year, and at the end the lights are out and all the kids turn on their flashlights to light the flag up......it looks amazing!! Way to go buddy, you did an awesome job!

Mullet Boy!!

Brax wanted a hair cut because as much basketball as the boy has been playing he realized that having an afro was not real cooling on the head!!

I think he looks great with the curly mullet!!......but we went ahead and cut all the hair off and now he has a nice buzz do!!

Enjoy the Mullet, and one day this will be Braxtons fav-or-ite picture!!! :)

Red Iguana

After Kayaking we worked up an appetite and I had never been to the Red Iguana, so we headed to West Temple for some killer Mexican! It is defiantly a hole in the wall when you pull up, but I think those tend to be the best places to eat!! We tried all the Mole and it was good, but my favorites were the poblanas and the Verde.

We were getting ready to leave and poor Loredan took a dive off his chair, hit the metal edge of Rays and then proceeded to smack his face on the cement floor!! OUCH! He was okay, no blood, but he had a nasty bump on his head.....poor lil guy!!

Kayaking 101

Ray learning!! Thanks for the push Anthony!!

Paddle left, left, left, and a sharp right!!

Cute Girls!! mmmm...burger!!

Evil eye, while eating! mmmm...hotdog!

Slower down down dad.......its a bit heavy!!

On Saturday Sam and Jenny invited us to go Kayaking up at Willard Bay with Sam's company (they were doing a clinic for the employees). It was 50 degrees out with not a cloud in the sky, we leave the house thinking it will be nice....holy moly!!....it was freezing, windy cold!! But in spite of the cold weather it was so much fun! Part of the event was to learn about all the appropriate gear to wear and what the differences of each kayak is and that the paddles really do different things!! While most of us stayed in the sun and visited some others were totally involved in learning every detail, which made sense as this is what most of the people would be selling......but as luck would have it my hubby was totally into it and was getting over load information so that he could have yet another hobby!!
I was a bit hesitate to get in the water since I already could barley feel that I still had fingers.....but I thought what the heck all the best gear is here and I am sure it will warm me up with all that upper body work!! And that is exactly what happened, we were so much warmer out in the water! Braxton even went out on his own, and was a natural! Everyone went out on the water except for Anthony, he was kicked back in a beached kayak having his own fun! Alessia went out in her own Kayak and she did great up until the wind picked up a touch and it was a bit much for her to get back to shore so Sam had to help her back.
I know my husband doesn't believe me, but I think we will make a couple camping/kayaking trips this summer....it was alot of fun, and if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it.....but make sure you get your best, most reliable gear from backcountry.com!! :)Thanks Sam and Jenny for the invite and a great family day at the lake!
