SUMMER TIME

I love, love, love, the summer!!!! I am finally walking on my foot again. :) I can't believe how long I was out of commission. It took me a while to not be in the habit of putting on that BOOT! ha ha We have been working so hard on our backyard. I have been raking and raking all the rocks out. Toby and I put in the sprinklers together. It is quite easy and kind of fun. We decided to hydro seed. It has been raining non stop for a while. So, we will see what happens back there.
Taya finished preschool and LOVED it so much. We did a joy school with 5 other kids this year for her. It was a lot of fun for her to go to different houses each week. It was also fun to teach all of them! Taya is learning so much and asks so many questions about EVERYTHING! She loves to play with her friends and ride her bike.
Trevor is my talker. He is so funny. He will repeat anything you ask him to say. He loves singing the Daddy's Homecoming song. He can talk 5 word sentences. (He is only 18 months!!) Crazy. My favorite thing to watch him do is count. He gets so focused and says 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, YEAH! SO, funny.
Toby is working, working, working. Busy season has not ended for him. He has put a softball team together for his work and gets to play once a week. Gives him a break from everything. I get to play every once in a while too!
Our next project is to knock out our half walls and put a banister in! I am so excited and can't wait to get going!

Fun Pictures!

Got seanon passes for Holgo Zoo. It has been a great get away when we are bored!

More Pictures

Taya has always LOVED her milk. She wakes up and it is the first thing we have to do! (MY FAULT completely!) Now, Trevor thinks he has to drink his milk like Taya. Going to the zoo again. This time with Aunt Brenda!

Surgery

Where has the time gone? I realized I haven't posted anything for a month now! Well, the foot isn't getting better. Still hurts everyday. So, surgery is now my only option. YUCK! Hopefully it goes good and I will be able to jump afterwards! It isn't to big of a surgery, just no fun. I am so sick of the boot and not being able to play at all. I go to practice and just toss balls at my girls. I love to jump in and play with them every once in a while to get things movin' faster. I am just hoping that things go well enough for me to start playing by summer time!! The exciting thing is that I have talked Toby into getting a new outdoor net :) I will update later of how it goes.
Kids are doing GREAT! Growing up so fast and learning so much. Taya loves going to preschool and playing with her friends. Trevor is my talker. He repeats everything I say no matter how hard the word is. I love to make him laugh. He has one of those deep belly laughs. After laughing so hard when I tickle him, he says, "MORE??" So much fun!

Valentine's Night

Toby and I went to the HOT WINTER NIGHTS at the E Center for v-day. It was a BLAST!!! It was a AVP 2 on 2 beach volleyball tournament for professional volleyball players. Jake Gibb was there. He played in the 2008 Olympics and took 5th also from Bountiful Utah!! Todd Rodgers was also there he took gold at the Olympics. It was so fun to see them play. There were a few other big names there also. I personally enjoyed the 6 PACKS!!! :)They were soooooo good and sooooo tall. Oh to be tall!!!! Toby and I had so much fun. We ran into some of our Logan v-ball buddies there too!! That sure made me miss the good old days and nights playing v-ball in Logan. It was the BEST v-day present EVER!
V-DAY MORNING-------- Toby had a b-ball game Sat. morning. When he got home he rang the door bell instead of coming in from the garage. He was holding flowers for me... OH, he is so cute... He also gave me a card. I read it and thought, "I have heard this before!!" So, I went to go get his out of my drawer that I got a month ago. YEP! We bought the SAME v-day card for each other.....HOW FUNNY is that! I guess we just know each other too well.... ha ha

The BOOT!

Here it is! The dreaded boot that I have to wear. I am glad that it is winter and I am ALWAYS freezing or it would be way to hot to wear it. No more playing v-ball this winter :( I am just hoping that everything heals right so I can start back up in the summer.

Christmas

Time Flies!

Wow, is it already Jan. I havent' even posted Christmas yet. Life has been so busy around here. Christmas was so much fun. The kids enjoyed all their fun presents and Taya LOVED Santa.
I had my first tournament with the girls. It was so much fun. It was a Friday-Sat. tournament. Yeah, I was worn out. We played very well and took first in our pool play. Then we lost the first game in the tournament. I think that we were just worn out. So, more conditioning!!!
So, for the sad part of everything. I fractured my sesemoid bone in my right foot. It happened two weeks ago. Now I have a boot that I am wearing. It sure slows me down. That particular bone takes so long to heal. So, it is a guessing game to see how long it is going to take. NO FUN!!!!!!!
When I get time I will post picutres. Have a billion to post!

SMILES

I just love it when my kids are so happy!!!!! We have been so busy around here. With Christmas approaching we have been shopping, shopping, and more shopping. Not that I will complain! I just love this time of year. The fun lights, tree, decor, etc. My favorite is turning all the lights off and just having the christmas tree lights shinning. It is so peaceful. Have a Merry Christmas everyone!

Finally blogging again!

Sorry I haven't blogged much. We have had a lot happen and I just have been to busy to post anything. So, I decided to make it easy and do just a few pictures in one video. We had a BLAST for Halloween. We got to go to Toby's work and show off the kids costumes and get TONS of candy. Then we went around our neighborhood. It was so fun and Taya ran the WHOLE way. I swear she can never get worn out!!! Trevor had his first b-day on November 1st. I can't believe how fast time flies. He makes us laugh every day. He loves to hold our hands and walk, just not quite there yet to do it himself. He is such a good boy and so much fun!

Catching up in One Video!!!

Hunting Trip No More!

Toby and I were supposed to be hunting this past weekend. We have been planing on it for almost a year. We bought our licenses and tags. When the big day was coming closer everyone that was planning on going backed out! WHAT was that about!!! I was a little upset to say the least. I have been weaning Trev early to get ready for the hunt. Toby and I decided that we were not just going to stay home. So, we got ready and went fishing back to the Teton River. "NO KIDS" It was so fun. We caught so many fish. Toby caught the biggest one and when I went to take a picture it slipped right out of his hands. SORRY honey!!!! It was a lot of fun to get away with out the kids....

NEW SHOES

So, I went to go buy Taya some new shoes the other day. I had just bought her some new preschool shoes that were a size 10. She loved them, and I was excited to get some fun shoes for her that would last until next summer. I took her into Famous Footwear and measured her foot. WOW was I off on her size. She measured at a WHOPPING 11.5.... WHAT IS THAT ABOUT! I was SHOCKED to say the least. She is only 3 and a half. The lady told me that to be safe she would need a 12. HOLY COW!!! So, here are the shoes that we ended up with. I vowed to myself that we would NOT get any Disney princess shoes. I was hoping to get her a good pair of Nike or Adidas for future tee ball or soccer. BOY was I wrong!!! She would not let these out of her sight, plus they light up!!! She has been so excited about them. How could I be so selfish and not let her keep them!!! I just hope she doesn't get toooooo tall.........

NEW JOB!!!!!

I got a job! YIPEE! YEAHOO!! I am going to be coaching volleyball again. :) I am so excited. It has been a whole year since I coached, and I have been going through withdrawls. I took a break to have Trev's. Now that he is older and not nursing, I am a little more free.... I get to coach a 17's team that will be in the Power Division. Sounds competitive doesn't it!! I can't wait to get started. (Everyone pray for my husband!!!) He won't admit it, but he is just as excited as I am.

Turning 29!

Toby turned 29 last week. He has finally accomplished his goal. He has wanted to go fishing with his dad in Idaho for a long time. So, last week we packed up the kids and headed for Idaho. He is such an amazing father and husband. I am so grateful for him and being apart of his life. We LOVE YOU DAD!!!!!

Fishing in Idaho

We got to go fishing for Toby's b-day. It was a lot of fun. We floated the Teton River. It was GORGEOUS! The first day we brought Taya with us. She had so much fun on the boat. She was so good all day. The best part was that I caught the most fish that day. HA HA HA..... Luck I guess. They were not big fish, but it was fun to catch more than the "BIG FISHERMEN" that I was with..... :) I just love going outside and enjoying the beautiful Fall season.

Softball

Toby and I are on a softball team for his work! It is soooo fun. So far we are in first place. There are 7 teams with no tournament. (Kind of BITES!) But, we haven't lost yet! We have played 5 games so far. It is so fun to get out and do something different!

Family Pics

It was so fun to have family pictures. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE my good-looking family!!!! We showed up at my mom's house in Tremonton Sat. and went at it! We took them in our neighbor's back yard. WOW! It was georgeous there. There was so many places to take pictures. Thanks to the King's. We LOVE YOU!

Ready to PUNCH!

I LOVE these pictures. Trevor's face was so funny. It was fun to get snap shots so fast to see his reaction. He went from pointing to get him out of the tight grasp, to a really mad face, then to making a fist ready to swing! HA HA HA (Trevor, Taya, cousin Talin)

Playing with the CAT!

Taya loved playing with the cat! She would pick it up and let it drop. POOR THING! It was hard to get her to come take pictures!
