July 4th Weekend . . .

We headed back into the Sinks for a 4 wheeler trip with Lane and Leann for the 4th of July weekend. Dinner the first night was a breeze, the boys just wanted hot dogs over the fire . . .
After dinner Hunter wanted to go for a ride while we waited for Grandma and Grandpa to arrive. Troy is so patient with Hunter boy, I love how he takes the time to talk as well and listen to Hunter before he goes for a ride . . .This was camp for the weekend . . .
While Hunter was patiently waiting his grandparents to arrive, he got brave and started doing donuts on his quad. Too bad I couldn't take 2 pictures at once, the grin on Grandpa Lane's face was priceless when he saw Hunter doing donuts in the grass!
The Three Amigos were seeing if they could get Hunter's machine to run more smoothly . . .
Hunter thought it was really cool to drive Grandma around the meadow on Grandpa's 4 wheeler!
Worms were a hit with Bubba that weekend! He and Snoopy spent hours digging for worms . . . once TJ got a cup full, he would sit in a chair and stare at them. . .every once in a while he would pull one out to see what it looked like! That he definately gets from his Daddy! This mom doesn't have the patience to watch worms in a cup! LOL!
The boys loved playing with the bubbles with Grandma too. . .
It's been a long time since we camped with just Lane and Leann! It was a great weekend! No drama and just a bunch of fun family time!!!

It's official . . .

THAT TROY GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL IN 1989!!!!

While Troy was trying to complete the back ground check for his employment at Malt O Meal, Clearfield High School said he didn't graduate! What? Are you kidding me?

Instead of the Principal taking a COLORED scanned copy of Troy's diploma via email, we had to personally take it to the Principal so she could confirm that Troy didn't magically generate his own diploma! What a joke!

So I am happy to report that after 21 years its finally on public record that Troy graduated from high school in 1989! LOL!

Father's Day Weekend . . .

We headed up to the Eagles with my parents for Father's day weekend. Before we left though we had a BBQ and birthday cake for Bryan's birthday . . .
Hunter was lazy and grabbed the first pair of shoes he could find so he could ride his bike while Troy got the trailer ready . . . "MOM the rule is I have to wear shoes when I ride my bike!" LOL!
I was at the antique store and came across this golf clock for Dad. We usually don't spend a lot on my dad, plus he doesn't expect much either, but I loved his reaction when he saw it . . . it looks great at their bar in the basement!Troy scored brownie points with my mom . . . that bottom step is really tall . . . while Dad and Mom were walking the dogs, Troy decided to make it just a bit easier for Mom to get in and out of her trailer. Of course Bubba had to be right there to make sure his Daddy was doing it right!
I love how Jakey likes to snuggle bug with the boys while we are camping!

Cool Summer Hair Cuts . . .

The boys love getting their hair buzzed like their daddy once summer time hits! Later that same day we were outside after a rain storm and there was a double rainbow, the boys were so excited, they had never seen two like that before!

Camping with friends at Bear Lake . . .

In June schedules worked out that we were able to go camping with Kristie and her girls Lacie and Kaylee, also Mike and Taygen joined us before Kristie had her back surgery.

I met Kristie last August . . . she and Troy worked together at West Liberty Foods. She is a dear friend . . . her and her girls are a very important part of our family! Thanks to our cute friend Tammy who works at Traveland RV Park in Garden City . . . she always takes care of us when we want to come to Bear Lake for the weekend! This is our favorite camp spot . . .
Here is Lacie patiently waiting to go on a 4 wheeler ride . . .
Kaylee is ready to go as well . . .And of course Hunter boy is more than thrilled to show the girls how much fun the trail is up the mountain side . . .
Bubba wished he could go with the big kids, but instead he takes a trip around the park on his battery powered quad . . .Taygen wanted to go for a ride too and she finally convinced her daddy Mike to take her . . .TJ was full of stories that weekend . . .
The chef for the weekend . . .I am grateful that I have a hubby that loves to cook.
Me and my cute hubby . . .
Kaylee . . . "you taking a picture of me?!"And of course what's a trip to Bear Lake without a sunburn . . .Sucks that it had to be my feet, but it was a fabulous weekend!

Hunter's Kindergarten Graduation May 2010!

Yes I know it's the end of July and I am just posting picture from May! What can I say we have been having lots of fun this summer! Been taking the easy way out and posting pictures on facebook, but finally decided it was time to update the blog!

I am so proud of Hunter Boy! I can't believe he will be going to 1st grade next month! His kindergarten graduation program was so cute! Aunt Mindy was able to join us as well bringing fabulous goody bags for each of the boys!
Hunter has a darling personality and it was a hoot to watch him sing. These next two are my favorite pictures of the bunch . . .Once the program was over, all the kids had to sit in the back of the lunch room and make the long walk to get their diploma. Troy, Bubba, Aunt Mindy and myself cheered really loud when Hunter's name was called, later he said "thanks Mom!" LOL
What a handsome boy he is! Hunter . . . we are very proud of you and we love you very much!

April was a busy month . . .

When I first started up loading pictures I came across this one with TJ and his goggles he got for Easter and couldn't resist posting it! He is so damn cute!
We got a special visit from Travis and Linda! We were so excited to see them, I was pregnant with TJ the last time we saw them. Of course Hunter boy and Bubba took right to Grandpa Travis and Grandma Linda. It was so fun to visit and catch up! Linda wasn't feeling well the day we went to dinner, but I couldn't let them leave without at least one picture!
Also in April Troy got moved to the day shift! I teased a lot about what we were going to do having Troy home every night, but all I can say is WE LOVE IT!!! Of course we had a few trials those first few days . . . Troy forgot Wednesday was early day, so he took Hunter an hour late to school, then got a call later that afternoon, 45 minutes AFTER school got out, from Hunter's teacher, "did you forget that it was early out today?" LOL! Thursday that week was a nice sunny day so the boys spent most of the day outside. Of course Dad forgot sunscreen on the boys! TJ was so red and cried when it was time to lay down. I placed cool wet towels on his arms. He thought it was cool to be a mummy to go to bed!My little sis is so talented! She made Peter dolls to sell at a craft fair and of course I had to have some too! I have put this one at our bar . . . This one is my favorite and looks dang cute in our kitchen!!!
Melissa made a really cute golfer one for mom for her birthday. Mom got a new job at her corporate office so Troy, I and the boys got Mom a new Spring outfit to wear to the office.

On April 20th I went in for surgery on my wrist. The surgery on the wrist wasn't bad, but I cussed like a sailor when the doc put the plasma injection in my arm. LOL I wasn't completely knocked out, just in the twilight zone, so that shot I clearly remember!The Saturday after my surgery was my birthday . . . and it was great this year . . . I spent the morning with my cute mom. I picked up dinner from Andy's on the way home . . . and came home to this . . .Kristie and the girls brought it over while I was in Ogden with Mom. Hunter put on ALL 34 candles and TJ got to decorate it! Kristie and the girls also gave me some live plants, since all of our others died at the old house since it was so dark! HURRAY! Along with this cake we got to enjoy brownies made by Bryan who included symphany bars too and red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting from mom! My cute parents gave me sandals . . . I went shopping for summer clothes and Troy told that he was off the hook for a gift! I got yummy smelling lotions, a wall clock and a cute welcome sign from other dear friends as well!

TJ loved playing with the balloons and after a day and late night of festivities here is how we found him . . .So as you can see April was a bit crazy for us and that is the reason it's been so long since I have blogged! LOL
