Kiss the Gotee Goodbye!

Jarom has always had a gotee! I loved Jarom's gotee...yes lovED. He decided that it was time to take it off since he was called to be in the Bishopric....six months ago! He asked what I thought on several occasions and true to my word I was upset and wanted to cry when he took it off in phases last weekend. Gerrrrrrrr! I have since grown accustomed to my new baby face and think he is quite SEXY!

Pumpkin Patch

Grammy treated us to a trip to the pumpkin patch with fun blow up slides and jumpers. The kids had a blast! (the big kids too!) Thanks Grammy! Look at Grammy get air- Go Grammy!!!

Mega Mouth

One day he will be in the Guiness Book of World Records!

(The first one is his entire binkey)

It's Fun to be One!

Isaace is ONE! We had a bithday bash and loved ones came from far and wide to celebrate with us! The cake goes to Mandy for driving from Idaho with two babies! I think she is CRAZY but we were sure glad she was there! Isaac made out like it was Chirstmas morning with all the gifts he got! We'll have to get a bigger house. He made it through the food and cake and opened a few presents before he became cranky and crashed for the rest of the party. Figures. We played "Pin the Binkey on the Bub" which was quite the hit, but we had to crack down on the cheating Grandmas who were trying to feel their way to the Bub! Thanks everyone for coming! We love you!

Ha -Ha- Haappy Birthday!

What do you do when you get a fun new camera for your birthday? Take pictures of just about everything, of course! I had a lovely day that started with receiving my cool new camera.
Then Jarom took care of Isaac and cleaned the house while I worked.
That evening we went to Claim Jumper for dinner and yummy Motherload cake.

FYI- beware whenever you order anything titled Motherload at Claim Jumper; Jarom got the Motherload Club- I thought it was a joke when they brought it out!

After dinner I received a WONDERFUL birthday massage. I wish everyday was my birthday!
Birthdays last all week in my family! So on Friday we went down to Steve and Nancy’s. We had cake and presents that evening (Steve needed a torch to light his side of the cake!) and Isaac had a ball with Grandpa in the spa. Saturday Grandma and Grandpa watched Isaac while Jarom and I went to the theatre to see The King and I (which is one of my favorite things to do!)
I would have to say it was a pretty super birthday!

The Bub? The Brain?

Pinky: "Gee Brain, what do you want to do tonight?"

The Brain: "The same thing we do every night, Pinky—try to take over the world."

I'm a little scared....

911 To The Rescue

Today I had to call the fire department to rescue Isaac from my own stupidity. I locked him in the car. Dummy. Luckily it was still running with the A/C going so he was not in danger of the 95 degree heat. We, Lesley & Courtney Sage and I, tried the old coat hanger trick which failed miserably: first, I didn’t even know where to insert the hanger; second, I could not get it “inserted” in any of the 50 places I tried. We called friends and neighbors who lived nearby but alas still no hope. Then someone suggested we call 911, Duh! Why didn’t I think of that 10 minutes ago! They were there in less than five minutes (Firemen AND Paramedics) and had Isaac out in about 3 minutes. Thanks our local Heroes!

I need to get one of those magnetic hide-a-key doohickeys; if you’re looking to steal a ’93 Nissan Altima with 250k miles, it will be an easy lift; I’ll take my chances.

Utah Vacation

We went to Utah for Brooke and Preston’s wedding and spent the week paying a long overdue visit to our Utah friends and family. Since we were all dressed up we got some fun family shots.

I took this when I was admiring my handsome honey from across the room. Isn't he sexy!?

Here are the bride and groom, Brooke and Preston. They were glowing.

We love seeing Mandy and Colter. We don't get to do it enough.

Isaac and Anna had fun playing together in the hotel.

Anna thought it was fun to take Isaac’s binky out of his mouth.

After six years I was reunited with my long lost friend Jen. We had fun meeting her super cute kids, Lexi and Colby, and we had fun remembering and laughing like no time was lost at all. I love you Jen!

We stayed with Nate and Tasha for a couple days and had a nice visit with them.

"I want my baby back, baby back, baby back, I want my baby back, baby back, baby back... baby back ribs!" Dang! We really need to cash in on this kid's cuteness!

We visited with many other friends but I forgot to take pictures. Uhhh...I hate it when I do that! I always love visiting with Stacey, MI COMPANERA CELESTIAL, from my mission. We enjoyed a great dinner with her and her fun husband, Shane, who made us a killer peach cobbler in the dutch oven. Yummmm!

We also stayed a couple days with Jarom's best friend Trent and his sweet wife Pam. Isaac loved watching their little boy Dallin play with his RC car.
