Smells awful and I can't sleep in my own bed, both water heaters went out = no hot water in the house... Jan. 7th, getting fixed today, driving to soccer 4 days a week now, yes, I said 4 @#%^ DAYS A WEEK!!, breathe...... (why again does my kid like soccer so much! And remember that is on top of all other activities my kids seem to love and enjoy. Only reason we are doing them. Wrecked on my brand new bike... ok really just fell over because I couldn't un-click my shoes from the pedals. Massive bruises, cuts, scrapes, bruised ego. You can laugh, I would. Bobcat hiding out in our front yard bushes. Tried to get one of Jackson's friends... I swear I live in the freakin ZOO. Scared to go outside. A bobcat really??? Haven't seen my hubby since Jan. 1st, only at church, sitting up on the stand if that counts. His work load is ridiculous! BUUTTT.... 2012 is an even year and they always tend to go better for me. I think it is going to be a good one. Don't you?</span></span>Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158081410012035725noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548546701159012867.post-50257669997353753012011-10-17T11:42:00.000-07:002011-10-17T13:21:47.708-07:00Quick catch up, and then onto Summer!<div style="text-align: left;">Rylie did here first Science Project. The Science of Cereal. She got the 5 most popular brands of cereal to test which one got the soggiest the fastest.

School was cancelled and everything. Everything was covered with ice outside. If we wanted to leave the house we had to walk wherever we went. So we didn't go far. I did not enjoy that week one bit.</div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZtLDp2INMYA/TpyE-hsAEmI/AAAAAAAABac/TomfE3RLB70/s400/IMG_2702.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664548641054921314" /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-plWvoO0fYGg/TpyE-SnpjMI/AAAAAAAABaQ/rwohbo-c9Hg/s400/IMG_2696.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664548637010136258" /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XsKlsG_hNMg/TpyE9R-k2ZI/AAAAAAAABaI/jqzwOrE6rrY/s400/IMG_2697.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664548619657992594" /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E-SUqi6ZQPo/TpyE9EONIQI/AAAAAAAABZ4/kTWl5N9u654/s400/IMG_2703.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664548615965450498" /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Spring Break Britt was out of town for the week so the kids and I made the best of it. We took ourselves 20 mins down the road to Arlington stayed in a hotel and went to Six Flags! Good times! We also took a ride to Fossil Rim with some friends. Fossil Rim is where you drive through and see all the wild animals. Some will come right up to your cars. These animals are not caged they just roam around. Those Ostrich are scary with their red eyes!</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qBBHUD1VbK4/TpyDvOs1fLI/AAAAAAAABZI/lF_a2IBzB_8/s400/IMG_2709.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664547278748482738" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DoKJPLkVNww/TpyDw-EOCfI/AAAAAAAABZw/jwtP24eMMBQ/s400/IMG_2730.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664547308642896370" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yvh1CcVXGDU/TpyDw723UoI/AAAAAAAABZg/PehnIbmSNuY/s400/IMG_2725.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664547308050010754" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cGLkASfbHYY/TpyDvXTZPMI/AAAAAAAABZY/A8twjoc_xwk/s400/IMG_2720.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664547281057692866" /><div style="text-align: left;">Jackson got bit by a neighbors dog. It was awful. Britt was out of town that week too. Pictures are gory - sorry! He was not teasing the dog either. He just went to pet him and the dog latched on and wouldn't let go. Not my favorite week that week either. Everything healed up fine but he has some crazy scars on his hand. Hope they fade as he gets older.</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IIgfhgw9iPA/Tpx_-i-dunI/AAAAAAAABY8/e13TNmZG4Kg/s400/IMG_0017.PNG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664543143842658930" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JXR4TwdIp74/Tpx_-EgRqnI/AAAAAAAABYw/zEzYAl1S_8U/s400/IMG_0016.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664543135662975602" /><div>Rylie had another piano recital.

This was one happy house. I was so happy for them! They deserved it. It was awesome that they won the championship but I was the most happy when we got to go to the game where they beat Colby and LA. Boy, was that exciting! Made up for those bad two weeks I mentioned above and pretty much anything else bad that happened before that. Aww Shucks Colby... better luck next year!

I am almost a year late in doing it. I just kept putting it off and putting it off. Which has put me even more behind in blogging. Last November (2010) we lost our sweet Rugby girl.</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-x0_OxnDZRKs/TnOeYavofPI/AAAAAAAABXE/PRPSwPpaOxs/s400/IMG_0213.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653036099613261042" /><div><div style="text-align: center;">She was such a special dog! We got her before the kids came along at a time in our lives that was really hard. We had been through a rough couple of years of infertility and I had lost hope and had been told that there was no hope by Doctors. Britt was in the middle of his first year of Law School and had accepted a Summer position in Nashville, TN. Which meant that I would be alone in Lexington, KY while he spent his Summer in Nashville. We decided that getting a dog would be the best thing for us. We are both dog lovers and knew we would eventually have dogs. So this seemed like the perfect time. A dog would keep me company while Britt was gone for the Summer. We started looking around Christmas time. We knew that we wanted a Boxer. Britt found an ad in the newspaper and we were set. We drove to Indiana to get her. She was 8 weeks old. I will never forget when we saw her. A family had sold all of her brothers and sisters and planned on keeping her but decided they couldn't. They already had Rugby's mom and grandmother as pets. We got to their house and they opened the door and she came bounding out and practically fell down the stairs. She was tiny and the cutest thing. She came right to me and I knew we had to have her. I cried all the way back to Lexington with her. I was so happy! Little did I know she would be the one thing I needed that would bring the joy back into my life.</div></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 272px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JxC2H1210so/TnQIPAxQrQI/AAAAAAAABXU/qRKRi87-NUo/s400/rugby3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653152486254488834" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 326px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mat5QwbmBNw/TnQIO5xFqoI/AAAAAAAABXM/NPHYahT-RwY/s400/rugby5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653152484374719106" /><div style="text-align: center;">She was a little stinker in the beginning. She was into everything and she had to sleep in our bed under the covers if we wanted her to stop crying.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 220px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uQ4mQtXRGpw/TnQJO1_OvPI/AAAAAAAABXc/icQPxtm2Ljo/s400/rugby4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653153582871919858" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A few years later the kids came along and she was just like a big sister to them. They could pretty much do anything to her and she was calm as can be. In fact in the 11 years we had her she never even growled at them. Such a sweetie!</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BDHr30otUHg/TnQQ1NareCI/AAAAAAAABXs/vK_yIf8qArM/s400/rugby1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653161938577487906" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2DBXEMzcUgw/TnQQ04nhxWI/AAAAAAAABXk/wsijWOfaGHw/s400/rugby2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653161932994233698" /><div>Rugby did not really start to slow down until around 9 years old. She was so full of spunk! The last few months of her life she really slowed down. We knew that it would be soon. We are so thankful that she just went to sleep one night and we didn't have to make the decision for her to go. It was one of the hardest days we have had in a long time. We miss her so much! So thankful for the time she was with us. She helped us more than she could ever know. We love you Rugby Roo!</div>Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158081410012035725noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548546701159012867.post-57664105872237771682011-09-16T12:01:00.000-07:002011-09-16T12:03:38.507-07:00Here I go....This may take me days but I am going to catch this blog up!Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158081410012035725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548546701159012867.post-16269647940745282962011-08-21T20:59:00.000-07:002011-08-31T12:13:20.405-07:00IKR<div>IKR stands for "I know right?"

We had Rugby's 11th birthday, Thanksgiving, and family come to visit! Hooray!! My parents, my youngest sister and my nephew came to see us! Gosh!! I really love when family comes to our house. So thank you all for making the long trip and spending some time with us. We had a fantastic time as usual with you all. Hope you did too! My Utah family are the biggest Dallas Cowboy fans! I mean it is non-stop Cowboy talk when we are together. So of course we had to take them to tour the stadium. They were in heaven. Weren't you guys! Especially my dad and Brayden, it is their favorite team. ha ha ha!! They aren't really Cowboy fans but we are so we made them tag along with us to the stadium. I think </div><div style="text-align: center;">they might secretly be fans now. Don't tell anyone!

I finally decided to take the kids to the famous Texas State Fair. You know the one that Oprah visited last year? Anyway, we did have a great time but I think it is just like any other state fair. Sorry Texas! One thing holds true to what they say though Big Tex is pretty darn big. Look at him!

For every lap the kids run they make money for the school. The kids enjoy it! This year it was so stinkin hot outside. The kids were bright red and soaking wet when they were done. This was back in September! After it was over I couldn't stop thinking about the poor teachers and how bad the classrooms must have smelled after the kids got done running. They did this in the morning so the teachers had to endure that smell the rest of the school day. ugh!

Ok so I just made that name up right this minute but it works for this post. This past fall Jackson started playing tackle football. Boy was he and his dad ready for that. His mom not so much!! I was scared to death. It all started when we took him to get him weighed and measured for his pads. The kid in front of him in line got on the scale and the scale read 151 lbs. I started hyperventilating right there in the line. 151 lbs people!!! 9 year old boy guys!! I am standing next to the J - man who then gets on the scale weighing in at a big 51 lbs!! The J -man was going to be playing with and against 100 lb heavier kids. NO WAY!! But oh I was wrong. He did play and he played hard. He did so well that they put him in as quarterback. He had a great time and couldn't get enough. If they played it all year round here he would be playing. He loves it! The only thing that would make it better for him is if his team was the Cowboys instead of the Aggies. Maybe next season! It really wasn't that bad for me either except the one game where he got pummeled and didn't get up and wasn't moving for like 5 minutes and coaches from both teams were huddled around him on the field and I had to do that hyperventilating thing I did when we were waiting to have him weighed. Yes other than that it was a fun Football Season!! GO COWBOYS!! I mean AGGIES!!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Practice uniform</div></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TS53IPBTfRI/AAAAAAAABQE/tP7im288hiw/s320/IMG_2446.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561513573203803410" /><div style="text-align: center;">Getting dressed for the first game</div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TS53Hwql0TI/AAAAAAAABP8/vlcv-6oynOg/s320/IMG_2449.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561513565055471922" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TS52IFh622I/AAAAAAAABP0/zDuZ31hynA0/s320/IMG_2455.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561512471144618850" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TS52HgtUN3I/AAAAAAAABPs/UOd53vGPQ08/s320/IMG_2460.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561512461260306290" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TS52HHgfCbI/AAAAAAAABPk/3S8G3vQyeTI/s320/IMG_2459.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561512454495603122" /><br /><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TS52G1lLdQI/AAAAAAAABPc/Se1rEZPJDFk/s320/IMG_2457.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561512449683453186" /></div></div>Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158081410012035725noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548546701159012867.post-38564220887635780302011-01-11T20:49:00.000-08:002011-01-11T20:59:46.668-08:00Back to school 2010!<div style="text-align: left;">I have a 4th grader and a 3rd grader!!

Sheri is from Cleveland Texas and was home visiting her dad for a few weeks in the Summer. Sheri and I met in GA, served together in a few callings at church and became great friends fast! She is one of the funnest friends I have. I am really hoping I spelled Cleveland right.? I know I got off track but I am kind of worried about it because I know she will read this post. She never gets anything wrong and she has the best memory of anyone I have ever met, except for maybe my other good friend Marcie. Anyway, back to Cleveland!!! We had a great time seeing where she grew up. Swimming in lake Livingston, hanging out at the hotel, swimming at the hotel, one chipped tooth and trying to figure out what every one's signs were?????</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TS0xePTJXfI/AAAAAAAABPE/ZMDCKkCZLqQ/s320/IMG_2332.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561155510445104626" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TS0xdxpnv_I/AAAAAAAABO8/ulWgK60eJc0/s320/IMG_2321.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561155502486306802" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TS0xdi8kGSI/AAAAAAAABO0/WZ1on3fL1Cc/s320/IMG_2320.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561155498539227426" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TS0xcxgWahI/AAAAAAAABOs/DAc3__LCOpM/s320/IMG_2322.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561155485267552786" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TS0xchi0C9I/AAAAAAAABOk/PuUE-OgIcOc/s320/IMG_2324.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561155480982916050" />Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158081410012035725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548546701159012867.post-44404137781680404422011-01-10T11:55:00.000-08:002011-01-10T12:33:37.861-08:00Family Pictures!

Mr. Frogue the owner gave us a tour and explained to the kids how they milk the cows and how everything works. We got to watch them milk the cows but didn't get to actually milk them. They do everything electronically now. So these machines actually do the milking. It was interesting to see the whole process. When I was growing up we had friends with a dairy farm and they milked the cows by hand I actually helped a few times. :) So this was something different to see. The tobacco business is a big thing in Kentucky also so while we were at the farm we got to see how they get the tobacco ready to smoke and sell. They hang it in barns and then they smoke it for about 30 days.</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TSpnDgoC3yI/AAAAAAAABMs/hxPFR18Mokg/s320/IMG_2348.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560369999937462050" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TSpnDbi3mhI/AAAAAAAABMk/arZrpdugShM/s320/IMG_2350.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560369998573574674" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TSpnDWl1FbI/AAAAAAAABMc/yGcynj8IuYQ/s320/IMG_2351.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560369997243815346" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TSpnDNnTCEI/AAAAAAAABMU/eiiLHPzJ88w/s320/IMG_2352.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560369994834053186" />Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158081410012035725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548546701159012867.post-60749696286269398832011-01-09T14:43:00.000-08:002011-01-09T15:38:24.971-08:00UK - Lexington KY<div style="text-align: left;">We took a trip to Lexington while we were in Kentucky. This is where Britt went to Law School. This is also one of the most beautiful places on the earth (or that I have seen so far anyway). I loved it there and would live there again in a second if I had the choice. We wanted to show the kids where we lived while we were there, the Law School, the UK campus, the College of Pharmacy, that is where I worked for 3 years while we were there, and of course all the beautiful horse farms, castles, Keeneland and some of our favorite spots to go while we were there. Not so sure the kids really cared to much about any of this but Britt and I sure had a great time reminiscing. Such a great place and it treated us well the 3 years we were there.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">UK campus...

We couldn't pass up the opportunity for pictures. Jackson had to get in on the action and give us a thumbs up which made us laugh even harder. Dad you didn't even flinch with us laughing and taking the pictures. Makes me laugh thinking about it right now. Mom was in the kitchen laughing so hard she was crying. Should of been there dad. Oh you were!</div></div></div></div></div></div><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532065941970685234" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TMXYqgEzDTI/AAAAAAAABGg/roo0sn9rx-k/s320/danceutah2010+100.jpg" /></p><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532065071254893122" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TMXX30Z-ckI/AAAAAAAABGY/vT4hBM2V2rU/s320/danceutah2010+101.jpg" /></p><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532065064050596722" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TMXX3ZkVm3I/AAAAAAAABGQ/e4XvwzcuwYM/s320/danceutah2010+102.jpg" /></p><p>Did you laugh looking at these dad?

Hooray!!!</div><div><br /></div><div></div><div>While we were in Utah we decided to plan a little surprise 60<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> birthday party for my mom. I mean turning 60 is a big deal right? In my family that means you are going to get a joke played on you and you better be ready for it! </div></div><div> </div><div><div>Me and my sisters had been planning this for about two months. Trying to think of a way to make this fun for mom, let her know how much we appreciate her and really celebrate the 60 years she has been on earth. So this is how it all went down...... Keeping in mind we had to keep this under wraps because we were trying to surprise her. My sister Katy lives about 20 minutes from my parents so we had to think of way to get her and her three boys to my parents to spend the night. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Hmm</span>... what could we do? Got it! All the girls and kids would sleep out in the backyard in a tent (cause it would be fun for the kids, wink wink). We also needed the kids help to blow up 200 pink balloons, put <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">marshmallows</span> on toothpicks and decorate the front yard in the middle of the night. After everyone in the house went to sleep we got busy with the surprise. The kids were so excited to help. I am so proud of them for keeping it a secret. Around 2:30am we snuck around to the front yard and stuck the 200 balloons in the grass along with 6 pink <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">flamingos</span> and the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">marshmallows</span>. We had made posters to put up in the front yard and we also stuck posters up on main street letting everyone know that Pam Buchanan was turning 6o. I am from a small town where everyone knows everybody so we thought this might be a little <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">embarrassing</span> for mom. We finally got it all finished around 3:30am and tried to get some sleep. Little did we know that it was supposed to rain and be freezing that night ( it was July 11<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span>). We did not put the rain gear on the tent so we got wet. Try moving 6 tired, wet, unhappy kids in the house at 5:30 in the morning. Fun times!! <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528331015865057122" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TLiTxMFpP2I/AAAAAAAABE4/HleO8rZgsy8/s320/fireworks+089.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528331010379408530" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TLiTw3pw5JI/AAAAAAAABEw/TF60nXzg1fQ/s320/fireworks+088.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528331000438281346" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TLiTwSnnVII/AAAAAAAABEo/TlqQ-cwZYSo/s320/fireworks+085.jpg" /></div><div> </div><div>The next morning this is what my mom woke up to..... <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 173px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528330993259362834" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TLiTv34BuhI/AAAAAAAABEY/V4GDB35UCug/s320/danceutah2010+141+(2).jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528330997445648274" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TLiTwHeHX5I/AAAAAAAABEg/__XuE3wiiGg/s320/danceutah2010+146.jpg" /></div><div>We found this cute hat that said the big 60 on it and had candles shooting out the top of it! We made her wear it all day! Look how cute she is!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528328659048119458" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TLiRoAQsvKI/AAAAAAAABEQ/SzlROX2GC00/s320/danceutah2010+142.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 205px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528328654742821378" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TLiRnwOPGgI/AAAAAAAABEI/g_f0qkx767Q/s320/danceutah2010+144.jpg" />After she saw the front yard we were trying to figure out how to get her up town so she could see the posters. This is sad really, don't judge... still all of us in pj's about 9am we say <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">c'mon</span> mom lets ride up town and get a d-coke. She said this early, sure d-coke at 9am sounds pretty good to me. Does that give away that I am highly addicted to d-coke? yikes! She went for it and off we went up town. When she saw the posters she almost died. It was quite funny! I think they stayed up for the next 3 days. We thought the city would take them all down. Lucky for mom they were displayed for at least 3 days. Hooray! Later in the day we made dinner and had cake and ice cream. She was a good sport and wore that silly hat most of the day.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528328647042110258" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TLiRnTiPkzI/AAAAAAAABEA/4Aef5Oa1_E0/s320/danceutah2010+153.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528328642726044130" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TLiRnDdNoeI/AAAAAAAABD4/a3cKmocIhOA/s320/danceutah2010+160.jpg" />This is mom and all my sisters. We were sad that our brother Ben couldn't be there. He and his family live in Logan and they had already been down visiting before we did this. They had to get back home for work. We missed them. </div><div> </div><div>Just a little about my mom from my perspective......I have been lucky enough to be with my mom for 38 years of that 60. Mom you are without a doubt the funnest mom I could ever dream to have. I have had so much fun with you over the years. You taught me how to be a good person, friend and sister. You taught me how to keep a really clean house. You taught me how to laugh and have fun. You taught me how to be a mother. You taught me how to respect others. You taught me the gospel. You taught me that you love me no matter what I have done and you always will. You taught me how to take care of my body and spirit. You taught me that I can have a fun and enjoyable life by seeing you enjoy yours. Since I have lived far away from you for the past 13 years I have come to appreciate you so much more. I love our phone conversations (pretty much every other day). I love that you look forward to when we come every Summer for two weeks and take over your house and everything else. I look so forward to the times you get to come to Texas and see us. I know I am in for a good fun time. Thanks so much for everything you have done, taught and continue to do for me. You are <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">something</span> special and I am so glad you are my mom!!!!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528328640861013266" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Myen6rQAwXo/TLiRm8gjhRI/AAAAAAAABDw/dFnBBI5_vGk/s320/danceutah2010+148.jpg" /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158081410012035725noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548546701159012867.post-3276475751155786332010-10-14T20:44:00.000-07:002010-10-14T21:08:40.433-07:004th of July<div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Utah = Stadium of Fire</div><br /><div></div><div>My mom and dad got us all tickets to the Stadium of Fire for the 4th of July.
