Most Recent.... My gun shot victim

Sorry it might be a little to visual and gross for some, but Jason insisted i post this. Last Thursday Jason had been out past Cedar Fort with the Department, doing a shooting course and training. I got a call about 2 o'clock and he said " don't freak out or anything but my arms been shot". I think i stayed pretty calm considering the circumstances. I was only stressing cause I had two baseball games in the next two hours, and need to figure out what i was going to do with the boys and meet Jason at the ER. Once I got there and realized it wasn't his shoulder ( for some reason that's where I thought it had gone) and he has all upbeat, I calmed down tremendously. We''ll what we believe to have happen is that while he was shooting his course a bullet ricochet off something and sliced his arm. Nothing was found in there, and I'm so grateful it was only this cause it could have been a lot worse. What a strong man I have! taking bullets in the arm and working that same night.

I have a lot more pictures/videos to post of the kids and
the end of the year, like Brendens kindergarten graduation,
and dance festival. I just don't know how to post the
Videos. I'll figure it out sooner or later. Sorry

Emma Graduated Preschool and will start kindergarten this fall. It's so crazy how big she has gotten in the two and half years i've been apart of her life. They grow up too fast!

I love you Emma Lynn.

This is a picture of Connor at his play, he is the "small" one in the front with the black hat and blue and yellow costume. He was so cute! Knew every line. He loved it so much he ran up to me
right after and said " I want to do it next year!"

Connor loves soccer, Connor needs a haircut. He
brings so much joy to our house, he can be funny,
crazy, sensitive and annoying at times. I wouldn't
change him for the world. I love him so much and
can't believe he is nine.

UpDate.... it's about time

So much for being better at this whole blog thing. I'll go ahead and give it another try, bare with me. A few reasons why i haven't done anything on our blog is one, We've been crazy busy as I'm sure everyone is. Second from about January till Mid May I was sicker than a dog.... cause yes I'm pregnant!! We are expecting another BOY! on November 2 and so excited, yes i was hopping for a little girl but that just isn't in the cards for me i guess. Don't get me wrong I'm so happy to add another boy to this basketball team of mine, I just know what to do with boys :).

So I'm just going to try and give a short rundown of the last few months of what we've been up to, and post some pictures. It may not be all in order but hopefully you can see and put two and two together..lol. Well Jason turned 30 in March and i threw him a surprise birthday party at my work and hired a dj/ karaoke guy, it was so much fun and he sure was surprised! Since then we've had a few Birthday's I turned 29, Brenden turned 6, And Connor turned 9.... and we still have 3 more to go. Connor was in Up With Kids and had been working on a play "Alice and Wonderland" From August to April. He preformed for everyone at the end of April, and loved every minute of it. We started baseball at the end of April and it's coming to and end this week. Cooper plays for the championship on Tuesday and Jordan also plays Tuesday for the winner of the consolation bracket. Then we had all the end of the school year stuff, field day and the dance festival. I have to admit I'm definitely glad school is out, running to the school four times a day was a killer. Next year should be better, with everyone in All Day!! So now it's summer and we've started swimming lessons, and have a lot more fun things planned. i hope to finally stay caught up on this... at least till the little one gets here.

New Year.... Better Blogger!!

Oh my gosh I'm a huge slacker, i can never find the time to sit down and blog.... or I'm not making the time :). I know we are already a month in to the new year but I'm making a New Years resolution now to be better at this blogging thing. I want to start blogging everything down so i can TRY and put books together for my kids and family. I'm not going to bore you with my hectic and busy life or post a thousand pics. But for the past several months we finished football, moved, made it through the holidays, and now Jason has started school... on top of his full time, part time jobs and everything in between. He is unbelievable! Jordan is Doing basketball ( another sport he is really good at), Connor is in a program called "Up With Kids" an acting class they are putting together a play "Alice And Wonderland" Which he will preform in April ( He loves it and couldn't be happier) Cooper Finished his basketball season before Christmas and is now waiting for baseball ( Even though he tells me he wants to do anything and everything under the sun) He has been struggling with his seizures for a few months and hope to get it back under control at the first of February, when we go back up to Primary Children's. Brenden and Emma are our funny busy little 5 year old's.... always making us stay on our toes. As for me (The Mom, The Wife) Just supporting and taking care of everyone which i love and wouldn't have it any other way. I love this family we have created!
Stay tuned in the next while for more updates, cause baseball season will be starting, lots of birthdays and I'm bound and determined to get better at this.

Camping '10

Jordan Caught two fish at Payson Lake, he was

so proud of himself, and i was proud of him too.

He wanted to go back to camp and cook it over

the fire, but i sure wasn't going to gut it and Jason

had never done it before.... So Grandma did it for

him. What an AWESOME grandma! She loves

taking the boys fishing it is one of her joys as a

grandma.

Brenden and Emma... And their cute dirty faces.

Cooper was all tuckered out from the night before

Because he decided to stay up all night with his

brother and cousins.

We had a few days with no work and all the

kids together, so me and Jason decided we would

take the family camping before Summer was over.

We hadn't been camping in for ever and couldn't

decide were to go, we ended up going up Payson

Canyon to Black Hawk Campground. It was

beautiful and a great place to camp, but very

dusty as you will be able to tell in some pictures :)

We also invited Jason's brother Justin and his

family, and my mom was able to join us. My mom

has been wanting to go camping forever and we

she was finally able to go. We all had a blast and

hope to do it again next year and more frequently.

Football

It's that time of year again..... Football season my

favorite time of year :) These pictures were taken

at the High School football camp this year. Jordan

Is finally getting to play tackle this year, and we have

no broken bones(knock on wood). He is so excited to finally

get to play this year. When we picked up his equipment

the other day he didn't take it off the whole day, and

couldn't wait to show everyone. It was so Cute the other day he got

into the car and looked at me and said" I love Football"

I'm so Happy for him and can't wait to watch him kick Butt!!

Summer 2010

I apologize that I've been a slacker, but this summer
has flown by and has been as busy as ever. So there
is a long list of blogs of a few things we have done this
summer. A long with what I've posted, i also managed
to cram in 4 Birthdays and still have one more to go
next month....Busy Busy.

Swimming Lessons

The boys were able to get back into swimming

lessons agian this year, which i'm so glad for. It

also worked out that Emma was in the same session

as the boys so I was able to watch her and take pictures

of her as well.

Steele Days

Jason hates the carnival.... So i had to talk him into

taking the boys. One because they love it and two

how can you waste 60 free tickets :) Poor Jason had

to ride the Spaceship or whatever it's called at least 5

times. he first rode it by himself( cause that's the one

rode when he was a kid). Then we talked Jordan into

going on and then one by one after each boy rode it

the other would want to ride it next. Till they all decided

to ride on it together, I think Jason wanted to puke after

that last ride. The Last picture is of me and Jason at the

car show. He was on duty and the boys were gone, so i

decided to tag along.

4th of July

The 4th of July has become one of me and my moms family's

tradition (one of few) :) So again we were able to go

to The Stadium Of Fire as a family and see Carrie Underwood.

This was Jason and Emma's first time in a long time they

were able to watch fire works together and as you can see

they were both so happy. We all had a great time and hope

to keep up this yearly tradition.
