This is a little late to be posted, but I just received the picture from Kate's dance teacher. Miss Amy (her dance teacher) had a Valentine Dance for the girls. They brought their Dad and danced, played games and had refreshments. Kate had a great time!

{ARIZONA} SPRING TRAINING & GRANDMA COLLEEN

Greg and I recently took the boys to experience Spring Training in Arizona. This is something Greg has always wanted to do. We had such a great time! We stayed with our friends, Pam and Ryan and were able to visit with Grandma Colleen, Hal and Blake.

Although Pam and Ryan have all girls and we only had the boys, the kids got along great! They swam everyday, played outside and jumped on the tramp. They especially loved swimming at Colleen and Hal's because he spoiled them with drinks and snacks!

We all went to a baseball game and the boys went to two. Greg was able to golf and fish and I went to a movie and shopping with Pam. The boys brought home lots of cool Diamondbacks, Cardinals and ASU clothing. It was fun to have time with them and spoil them a bit! Kate stayed with Grandma Sue and Grandma Oborn and got to do a lot of fun stuff!

Night Skiing

The other night, me, Dalton, Preston and Ashlyn went skiing. The snow was GREAT and we had such a good time! Ashlyn has had a broken wrist so I was really nervous but she did really good. The boys did awesome!! I know most people don't agree...but I am really enjoying all this snow!!

2011-03-12T20:14:00.000-08:00

Me and Kate had a great time at her field trip to Pizza Man. They were able to learn how the dough is made, make their own pizza and bread sticks. The best part.... we took it all home to eat!

2011-02-26T11:08:00.000-08:00

MORE SNOW

We had a surprise snow storm last weekend that brought A LOT of great new snow. Dalton went sledding with his buddies the first day, then I took them and Kate the next day. We found a great park and the kids had a great time! The weather was sunny and beautiful after the big storm!

I told Dalton they do "extreme sledding" because they all came away with lots of bumps and bruises! He was sore for days!

{VALENTINE DANCE}

The sixth grade at Plain City Elementary had their annual Valentine dance this year. Filling out their dance card the week before is a huge event. Ty got to dance with all the girls he wanted to, participated in the dance contest and even win a prize! They have all the kids dress up in 50's style and looked super cool!

I was so proud of Ty because he told every girl he danced with thank you for dancing with him. His teacher even had to make changes to his dance card because she knew he would be kind to a girl who didn't get her dance card completely filled out. Ty is a nice kid and has some great friends! I cannot believe he will be in Junior High next year!

2011-02-26T10:32:00.000-08:00

TOADS FUN ZONE

For Christmas this year, the kids all got passes to Toads Fun Zone. It has been the best gift ever! They have unlimited go-carts, laser tag, mini golf, batting cages, and a discount on games. The boys, as well as Kate, have spent hours playing laser tag. A few warm days in January gave them the chance to ride the go-carts too! Almost all their friends have passes and Grandma Sue too! These pics are Ty, Jake, Preston and Kate racing.

5th Grade Ski Day!

Dalton's class had their field trip to Snowbasin last week. Snowbasin hosts all fifth graders, provides lessons and rentals. It's such a great opportunity for the kids. We have had such a bad inversion in Northern Utah right now, but up in the Mountains it was a beautiful day! It was so warm that we ended up taking off layers and skiing without gloves! Dalton's teacher who has been on maternity came up for the day and Dalton had a great time skiing with her too. (I think I took second place when she arrived!) I am going to be really sad when the boys go to Junior High. I will really miss these fun times with all the cute kids in the class!

2011-02-06T19:24:00.001-08:00

*****SKI DAY*****

Ty, Dalton and I went skiing at Powder Mountain last weekend. It was my first time this year, but Ty has been going up a lot with his friends. He got a ski pass for Christmas and has had a great time! Dalt went up once with Ty but this was our first time together. It was a great day!

(Disclaimer:Ty is not pictured due to the fact that he is almost a teenager and is too cool for pics! Ugh!)

2011-01-14T18:32:00.000-08:00

Our last Christmas Party of the year was at Grandma and Grandpa Mont's. Lindsay and Natalie were in town and it is always fun to see them. It's tradition to play "The Beatles" Rock Band. We had a great time!

2011-01-14T18:28:00.000-08:00

After opening gifts, we headed up to Grandma and Grandpa Wilson's for breakfast. We had a great time! Kate and Dalton played "Just Dance" and Mom and Dad took time to rest! Ty played games with Grandma and the cousins.

2011-01-14T18:23:00.000-08:00

Christmas Day 2010
Despite the fact that it was WARM on Christmas with no SNOW, we had a wonderful Christmas day. All the kids got bikes and scooters, so the weather was perfect for riding! Ty's favorite thing was his Yankee's golf bag. Dalton's favorite was his Razor trick bike, and Kate's favorite gift was her Barbie bike.

2011-01-14T18:19:00.000-08:00

We always spend Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Oborn's house. We have great food, games, gifts and the re-enactment of the Nativity. We had a great night and the kids loved the gifts from Grandma and Grandpa!

2011-01-14T18:11:00.000-08:00

As tradition goes, the kids always open one gift from Mom and Dad on Christmas Eve....and it is usually pajamas. This year, we added the gift from their brother and sister. It seemed more special because it wasn't lost in the craziness of Christmas day. They picked out some great gifts for each other and were really excited to watch them open them up. Dalton got a Wii game, Kate got a Sing-a-ma-jig, and Ty got a Colts football.

2011-01-14T18:02:00.000-08:00

Kate's Christmas Preschool Program went very well this year. She actually sang and participated a little and was really excited to go! Both her Grandparents came and Mom made it on a little break from work (I am in my pajama's because it was PJ day at work). What a fun day!

Wilson Christmas Party

Scott and Sue held their annual Christmas party on Saturday. The Whitney's (Greg's Aunt and Uncle) always share this party with us, so it's really fun! We have good food, gifts and play games. The kids really look forward to this! This year Sue decided not to "plan" to much because the kids just enjoy playing with each other. They are so lucky to have so many cousins living so close! Thanks for another great party Grandma and Grandpa!

2010-12-13T21:54:00.000-08:00

{WINTER}

Snow came early to Utah this year and gave the kids plenty to do for a few weeks! Ty skied 4 times in one week and Dalton and Kate spent hours outside! I took Kate, Dalton and Preston sledding one day and they had a great time. Unfortunately, it is gone for now so we're hoping for some good storms coming soon! November 2010

2010-12-13T21:26:00.000-08:00

{Did someone say they wanted to see Santa?}

Well, after skipping a year of going to "see" Santa, Kate said she was ready to see the big man! Last year we communicated through email and that worked very well! I didn't ask, urge or even hint for her to go see Santa so I thought she was really ready. She told me what she was going to tell him and even questioned why the other children would be scared of Santa?!

So.......the moment came and........she wasn't ready! Not a word, smile, NOTHING! Luckily, I knew the people standing behind me because she had a death grip on me and I couldn't take a pic of her while holding her! Before the moment, we talked about displaying the cute pic of her and Santa. Unfortunately, there is no perfect pic but she was satisfied with her visit! Funny girl!

{happy birthday ty!}

Ty celebrated his twelfth birthday this past weekend. We were lucky enough to get Jazz tickets for the game on Friday (thanks to the Coleman's), so I took Ty and went to the game. We had so much fun and it was a great game! They were giving out t-shirts at the door and he got his picture taken with some cute Jazz dancers. He was embarrassed, but he loved it!

He was happy to receive some great gifts as well as cash! Ty is a great kid. He is so responsible, smart, and funny. He is really fun to hang out with! He seems to know everyone and is so aware of what everyone is doing. He has a great memory too! We always give him a hard time about his room because he stores anything he could ever need in his room. It's kind of like Smith & Edwards in there.....if you can't find it there, you don't need it!

I wish he could stay 12 forever, because I don't want a teenager! Thanks for being such a great kid Ty!

2010-12-13T21:06:00.000-08:00

LoRdy, LoRdY, LoOk wHo'S 40!

Greg reached a milestone birthday this year....40 years old! Remember when that sounded old? Everyone knows he's not one for a big crowd, so I left it up to him to plan his own night. He chose Pizzeria and a Comedy Club. We went with Cody and Sheri, so they made sure to embarrass him a bit at dinner and decorate a little! It was funny and we had a great night...and laughed a lot!

2010-11-26T22:19:00.000-08:00

We spent Thanksgiving this year with the Grandma and Grandpa Oborn. We had a great dinner and visit with the family. My favorite part was the "game" Kate wanted to play where we all told a minimum of five things we were thankful for. (The five things came from a Saturday Night Live skit that Pattie was telling us about. The girl said she was not "thankful four, she was thankful five!") Some things were normal everyday things and others were sweet and touching. Kate couldn't figure out how we were going to choose a winner for the game, but I would have to say Greg was in the top three at least! :)

2010-11-26T22:06:00.000-08:00

All I can say is....FINALLY!

Okay, how cute is this picture? And for those of you who know me well....Kate sleeping alone in her bed is a big milestone. Yes, we have had our sleeping issues with Kate! She is officially sleeping in her own bed! What more can I say? I am very happy!

2010-11-26T21:59:00.000-08:00

Football Banquets 2010

The boys recently had their end of the year football banquets. It is always fun for the kids to get their trophies and see their buddies. Plain City football takes in three cities, so many of the kids they play with attend different elementaries. I am always amazed that the boys are sad to see football come to an end. They practice four nights a week and play their games on Saturday, but they love it! They would not miss a football practice for anything! I am proud of both Ty and Dalton for their dedication and hard work!

2010-11-21T20:50:00.000-08:00

GRANDMA COLLEEN

NOVEMBER 2010

We recently had a special visit from Grandma Colleen and her husband Hal. Grandma Colleen is my birth mother who currently lives is Arizona. She has been struggling with Parkinson's Disease, so this was great that she could come and see us while she was feeling good. Hal had never met my family, so we had my parents and in-laws over to eat and visit with Hal and Colleen.
It was very exciting for the kids because they haven't got to spend too much time with Colleen. We had a great visit, went out to dinner together and even had a little early Christmas with them. I am so thankful for my husband, kids, parents, in-laws, my birth parents and their families. I think my kids are so lucky to have so many grandparents in their life! It has been amazing to have a relationship with my birth parents! (You can click on these photos to enlarge them)

2010-11-21T20:34:00.000-08:00

Jake, Ty, Aiden, Mason and Dalton

NIGHT GAMES
One of my boys' favorite things to do is play night games. We have a great neighborhood with lots of kids so they are always playing neighborhood ball or something. Dalton's friend Mason, has a fun Dad who is good about organizing some cool things. On SPECIAL nights, he has been known to take them out door bell ditching. They go early enough so they don't disturb anyone sleeping (I hope)! It is definitely a highlight of their year. Funny what makes kids happy. :) Mason's Mom took this picture of the boys ready for their big night out!

2010-11-21T20:21:00.000-08:00

What a busy Halloween this year! We started the day at the Fremont quarterfinal game watching our cousin Tayson. It was a great game and the boys love going! Then, we went to Grandma Oborn's to eat and see our cousins. Grandma Oborn fed us well and the kids had fun seeing their cousins. Last, we hurried home for our annual Halloween party. I think we had about fifty people over this year. We have all the kids friends, their parents and whoever else would like to join us. The older kids go out trick or treating and check in for soup and cocoa every hour. The little ones help hand out candy and go to a few houses. There is a great haunted house across the street from us so we usually end up with over 200 trick or treaters! I think Halloween is becoming my favorite holiday of the year! I am not looking forward to the kids getting older because we have had so much fun with them and their friends on Halloween!

2010-11-21T20:12:00.000-08:00

GRANDMA SUE'S HALLOWEEN PARTY

Grandma Sue had a fun Halloween party with all our cousins, Aunt Cheryl, and Aunt Holly's niece and nephew. We ate, decorated Halloween trees and went on a nature walk. They had such a great time just hanging out and playing with each other.

2010-11-21T19:23:00.000-08:00

October 2010
Dalton's fifth grade class celebrated Halloween by making spider cakes. They were so cute and the kids had so much fun making them. Kate was so excited to go and help her big brother and he is always so great with her.

2010-11-09T09:21:00.000-08:00

The Train to SLC

Kate has been asking me all Summer if we could ride the "train" to Salt Lake. So, with the warm days coming to an end we asked Payton and Kelly if they would like to ride the Frontrunner train with us. The girls were so excited! We rode down to the Gateway to shop, eat lunch and run through the fountains. The girls were having so much fun riding the Frontrunner, we could have just rode there and back and they would have been happy! Those girls just make me laugh! They are both the youngest in the family so they both think they are much older than they actually are! They both love teenager music and clothes. I love the pics because it shows typical shopping girls! October 2010

2010-10-14T11:30:00.000-07:00

I thought these were such cute pictures of Kate and her cousin, Hannah. Kate loves Hannah and looks up to her as her older cousin. Hannah is sweet, kind and patient with Kate. (So much like her Mom) I hope they are good friends forever!

2010-10-14T11:22:00.000-07:00

PLAIN CITY WALK-A-THON
Plain City Elementary's annual Walk-a-Thon is a favorite for all the kids. They raise money for the school by being sponsored for each lap. They are awarded small prizes for laps completed and a metal after hitting the goal lap! There is always good food, music and all their friends. Kate is not officially at Plain City yet, but had so much fun participating in the Walk-a-Thon! Dalton and his friends came early and stayed to the very end. They all got their metals! Ty and his friends were there, but they are getting a little too cool to walk! haha They're just there for the social aspect!

2010-10-14T10:49:00.000-07:00

Thanks to my husband, Mom and Sue, I was able to get away two weekends with FRIENDS. I had such a great time and am truly grateful for FRIENDS in my life.
The annual Estrogen Fest was held in Heber City this year. We stayed at Natalie and Pam's sister-in-law's beautiful cabin. We played games, ate, shopped, ate, watched movies and sat in the hot tub. We have a diverse group, or as Heather says, "We all add our own flavor!" What I love is, we can all appreciate each other and have a great time. The original eight were able to come this year! Most of us will be turning 40 this coming year, but as you can see....we don't act like it!
The second girls trip was a last minute deal and I was so glad I could go. A few ladies from my old Ward headed to St. George and Vegas. Kim was in town and had never been down South...so we showed her all the sites! Kim kept wondering if it was really "Fat Camp" because Nicole was having us bike, play tennis, etc., etc.. I didn't know most of the ladies very well, but it was great to get to know them better. We stayed in Nicole's beautiful house near Snow Canyon. I loved it!

September 6th

Happy Birthday to our little Katebug. We cannot believe she is five years old! She is smart, stubborn, beautiful, and funny. She loves to spend time with her Grandma's and Grandpa's and is always wanting friends to play. Her favorite friends are Payton, Paige, Niya, Austin and Jane. She loves to listen to music and sing. She takes control of her clothes and hair ~ sometimes good and sometimes bad! She really loves her Mom right now and enjoys teasing her Dad. She is starting to read, rides a bike, ties her shoe, navigates a computer and cell phone. I wish I could keep her little forever! She is growing up way too fast!

2010-10-14T10:26:00.000-07:00

LABOR DAY WITH THE OBORN FAMILY

The annual Bear Lake overnight with the Oborn family included WIND, sand, games and lots of fun in the INDOOR pool. The weather did cooperate with us this year, so our time at the lake was short. We all took a quick turn on the wave runner before retreating to the Condo.

We had a great time playing "Minute to Win It" games! We played the mummy wrap, keep the balloons up, shake the pedometer, and cookie game where Austin displayed an amazing talent for moving his facial muscles. Wow! haha

Thank goodness we had an indoor pool because the kids had so much fun there! We also celebrated Kate's birthday. We had a good time with our cousins!

2010-10-12T11:56:00.000-07:00

FiRsT DaY oF sChoOl 2010
Wow, does time fly! Ty is in sixth grade - the rulers of the school! He is so lucky to have Sher Devries Elliott as his teacher this year. She is new to Plain City and is the most wanted teacher! He was so excited to get started.
Dalton is in fifth grade and his teacher is Mrs. Hansen. She is a great teacher. Dalton is most excited to get back to his friends and recess - his favorite subject!
Kate has one more year of Preschool. She will be one of the oldest in her class. She is attending Little Sprouts Preschool in Pleasant View taught by Amy Satterthwaite Gray. She is smart as can be. I hope they have something left to teach her in Kindergarten!

2010-10-12T11:38:00.000-07:00

We made it to Lagoon just before school started. We did not go last year, so the kids were pretty excited about going. They all had a great time! Kate was definitely fearless! Poor Dad had to go on the musical "round and round thing" until he was sick! I still have a love of coasters, but found out that as I have aged my body doesn't! I went on one coaster and stood over the garbage can for 10 minutes after...GAG!
Dalton, Kate and I loved the egg drop and Ty loved Rattlesnake Rapids. I wish I had pics of Rattlesnake Rapids cuz I was soaked!! (I had to save Kate from the waterfall) Anyway, we had a great time and Dad made it through a day at his NOT favorite place on earth!

2010-10-12T11:15:00.000-07:00

Team SHOCK Party

Ty's team celebrated the end of the Baseball Season at the North Shore Aquatic Center. They had "Zeppe's", as promised (for beating Team Rock) and pizza. Ty has so many great friends on this team, most of which are from North Ogden. He has been so lucky to have a great group of coaches who love the boys.

2010-08-18T13:35:00.000-07:00

Kate and her friends taking a break from watching the games!
Jumpin' Dalton!

Go Ty, Go!

My good friend, Pam, and her family came into town over the 24th of July holiday to visit with family and friends. Her sister's boy plays ball with Ty, so we get to hang out all together! We were so lucky to spend a few fun days with them. All the girls went to lunch one day, then that night Pam's girls babysat Kate and Ellie while all the little boys and all the adults went to dinner and the Raptors game. We had a great time. Kate loved it too because they had a little "girl" party that we decorated for!

Then, we all headed up to Heber City for the boys to play in the Tournament of Champions. We won't go further into that, because we did not do well at all! Anyway, we stayed in Park City with the Browns and the Clarks and had a great time. Everyone did the Alpine Slide, swam and the little girls did some fun rides.

Our family vacations revolve around ball tournaments, so it was fun we could combine some friend/family time with baseball!

2010-07-20T23:01:00.000-07:00

Bear Lake...finally!

I have been so excited to get up to Bear Lake and this past weekend we finally made it. It took so long for summer to come, then even longer for us to have a day off from baseball. I actually got Dalton to come (despite his hatred for Bear Lake since the whole "tick" incident) and he had a good time. Dalton brought his friend Mason and Cody and his girls were there too. Kate was so excited to go to the beach. We had a lot of fun! Just a note: Ty is not in any pics because he went to Lava with Grandma and Grandpa Wilson for a chance to go fishing with Grandpa.

2010-07-20T22:52:00.000-07:00

I think this fourth of July was the best one yet! There are sooo many reasons! The weather was great - below 100 for the first time in recent memory! The boys are old enough I don't have to worry about them getting lost. All the kids were in the parade. Ty rode on the Weber County Fair truck, Dalton rode behind them and Kate was with her dance group. For the first time EVER, Greg lasted through all the activities including fireworks and had fun! (Most of you know he's done before the fireworks go off!) We had a great seat for the fireworks and you only have to show up five minutes before the parade starts to get your seat! Actually, our old neighbor always sets out seats for us so we're really spoiled.

Plain City seemed to have more activities this year that kept the kids interested. Only in Plain City could you come home from the festivities with a live fish caught by hand, a real life chicken caught with your hands and dripping with mud from playing mud volleyball in the middle of the horse arena! You gotta love that! I just realized I am not in any pics, but I was there! We are so lucky to have lived in Plain City and have such great friends in our community!

2010-07-20T14:53:00.000-07:00

River Bottom Boys Baseball

Dalton's team had a fun end of year party. The coach planned a parents vs. players game (I even hit), pizza, and awards. He gave each player a new ball with a case and had each of their teammates sign it. It was really cool! They didn't have a "winning" season but I think they had a lot of fun and learned a lot!

2010-07-20T14:41:00.000-07:00

Shock Baseball Girls

The little sisters of the Shock Baseball team have become such good friends. They are all such good sports - going to soo many games and cheering on their brothers. Recently, we got shirts and shorts for them so they would look official! They looked so cute I had to share.

2010-07-20T13:01:00.000-07:00

Swim, Swim, Swim

Kate started swimming lessons in June with her friend Payton. They went to Miss Anne, who both Dalton and Ty have taken from. I was really nervous about Kate, you never know if she will try something or not. She surprised me! She loved swimming lessons. She would just wait all day to go! Her and Payton were lucky enough to be in a class with only one other person. They learned so much and did not want lessons to end!

2010-07-20T12:51:00.000-07:00

love this pic....some friendly competition!

Wiffle Ball

Last month we had a wild game of Wiffle Ball at Chad's house. I love when all the cousins can play together - they have such a good time with each other! Grandpa is the designated pitcher for both teams and the little ones bat when they feel like it. Kate was mostly playing with the toys. Ty tries his best to remember it's just a game. haha

2010-06-11T18:21:00.000-07:00

School's Out - Vacation's On!

School let out early on Friday before Memorial Day. We went straight from school to the baseball tournament, came home for one day then left to St. George with my Mom. Grandpa Oborn went out of town for work, so Grandma wanted her own vacation. I took all the kids and their cousin Austin came too!

After a very cold May, this was the perfect trip to start the summer. The kids swam three times a day and loved it. The weather was great! We visited an old Ghost Town, the Brigham Young house and saw the movie "Babies".

On Thursday, we left Kate with Grandma and went to see Las Vegas. Austin came with us and we had such a good time. We ate at the Cheesecake Factory, saw Pete Rose, rode the roller coaster at NY NY, did taste testing at the Coke factory and played around at the M&M factory. The boys were in awe of the hotels as well as the weird people! We stayed in a nice place and swam some more!

We left the next day, picked up Kate in St. George (swam again) and headed home. We were home about ten hours when we left for another baseball tournament in Idaho Falls. It was just for the day, but we were able to visit with our friends who live up there and play two games! What a start to summer!

2010-06-11T18:19:00.000-07:00

May Mayhem
Wow! May is always a crazy month, so I am just barely getting around to posting pictures. May not only brought flowers but baseball tournaments, Preschool Graduation, Mothers Day, a camp out for Dalton and school awards assemblies. It was a great month!

2010-06-11T18:09:00.000-07:00

Memorial Day Tournament

Ty's team participated in the Memorial Day baseball tournament held down in Utah County. It was turning out to be a not so great tournament and we were dreading playing Team Rock - the team Ty used to play for and the team his best friend is on! They are a great team and feared by many!!!
Ty's team had the best game and pulled out a 8-5 win over Team Rock! It was definitely a highlight in their season. Good job Shock!

2010-06-11T17:58:00.000-07:00

Preschool Graduation

Kate had her Preschool Graduation the end of May. We were all so excited to attend and see if she would REALLY participate. She kept saying she would but we were pretty skeptical after the Christmas program!

She did it! She sang all the songs and did the actions too! They performed a program called "See You Later, Alligator" which reviewed all the concepts they learned throughout the year. They were all so cute! She will go another year of Preschool (she misses the school deadline by a few days), but I am really excited for her to be the oldest. She is very smart and loves to learn. Miss Amy has been a great teacher! She has had so much fun having Payton is her class (Kelly's daughter).

Kate received a few special graduation gifts from her Grandma's and even Payton's Grandma. She had a great day!

2010-06-11T17:48:00.000-07:00

RV'in With Grandpa Mont

Grandpa Mont and Granddma Debbie asked if Dalton could come up to Crystal Hot Springs with them and camp in the RV. Dalton had a game so I took him up there after the game. Kate and I swam with them, then left him for the night. On the way home they visited the Golden Spike Visitors area. The kids love riding in the RV, so they don't care where they go as long as they can ride in the RV! Dalton had a lot of fun with Jerica and Grandma and Grandpa.

2010-06-11T17:35:00.000-07:00

Plain City Awards Assembly

This has been a great year at Plain City Elementary. The boys both really liked their teachers and had some great field trips.

Ty's favorite teacher was Mrs. Simonson and his favorite field trip was to Willard Bay. They rode their bikes all the way there! Ty received the athletic award this year. He was really excited!

Dalton was lucky enough to go to the Environmental Center twice this year! Grandpa Scott went once and Grandpa Oborn went the second time! They had a great time! Dalton received the Science award.

I am so proud of both of them and the good job they do in school. They both have great friends!

Mothers Day

For Mothers Day this year, Allie and I took our Mom to breakfast earlier in the week. We had a good time and were able to visit without children.

On Mothers Day, we had a big Mothers Day breakfast at the house with our old neighbors. Greg, Sandy and Cody cooked a great breakfast. After, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Wilson's. It was a beautiful day and the kids flew kites and played with their cousins. Ty's kite got away from him and we had a funny experience getting it out of Kelly's tree. Sue will hate me for saying this, but we have laughed about Sue's temper. HAHA By the way, I did not forget about my middle child - he was refusing pics that day!

It was a nice day!

Pocatello, Idaho Tournament

The boys both played in the Pocatello, ID baseball tournament. Neither teams played too great, but we stayed with some friends of ours and had a good time. They had the coolest dog! The weather was okay which is more than you can hope for an Idaho tourament!

Spring Training

After the Easter Day festivities, Kate was anxious to get out to the batting cage with Greg. She is very serious about it and told me it makes her really mad when she misses the ball! I would say she has Greg's personality - she is definitely competitive!

Kate spends so much time at her brothers games and is really good about it. She has a lot of ballgame friends and she is so excited for the "grass" ballgames to officially begin!

Plain City Elementary 4th Grade program
This week, Dalton 's grade performed their Utah State fourth grade play. Dalton was the "head" stage crew guy and totally loved it! Preston (our cousin) was the hero sheriff. They were all really cute and did a great job!

easter 2010

About six months ago, Kate informed us that Easter was her favorite holiday because you get presents AND candy! Wow, that's a lot to live up to and to think I was focusing on Christmas! We did all the traditional Easter activities - colored eggs and went to a Egg Hunt. Easter morning was so much fun because Kate just squealed with excitement every time she found an egg!

We had a fun party at the Oborn's and the Wilson's. The kids have so much fun playing with their cousins! We ate a lot of good food and more than enough candy! Kate only had her Easter dress on a few minutes and then played dress-up at Grandma's. Oh well!

dAlToN's DoUbLe DigIt dOuBle pArTy

Dalton celebrated his 10th birthday with a double party for him and Jake. They invited LOTS of kids to the Peak Gym. My camera died right after we arrived so I didn't get pictures of all the fun. They climbed a rock wall and jumped into the pit when they got to the top. They had rope swings and trampolines. They played a very competitive dodge ball game and ate pizza. After lots of food, fun and gifts, they headed off to another party for their friend Tyson. What a great night!

I cannot believe Dalton is ten. He is such a nice kid and a great brother. He has a great sense of humor! He is so fun to hang out with!

2010-03-26T23:31:00.000-07:00

Wrestling

I just found this pic from Wrestling season and wanted to make sure and post . Dalton got back into wrestling this year and really liked it! I hope he will continue because Dalton is perfect for this sport! He is so tiny, but so strong!

Plain City Elementary 5th Grade Program

The 5th grade at PCE had their traditional program last month. Mr. Keefer taught the kids to dance and the Ty had so much fun learning some moves! It was a 50's theme - the kids looked so cute! At the end, they chose someone from the audience to dance with. Ty chose Kate and they had so much fun! I was so proud of Ty for giving the dancing a chance - he really liked it!

2010-03-26T23:10:00.000-07:00

BASEBALL HAS BEGUN!!!!

Ty's team played in the first baseball tournament of the year in St. George this past weekend. They were a bit rusty from the Winter, but they had a good time. Ty is still playing for Shock Baseball (formerly Weber). The coaches are great and he loves the boys he plays with. They will be playing 4 games a week soon!

The weather in St. George was not too great, but we managed to hit the park one day, swim and watch a lot of ball from the car. The boys even got to sleep over with Carson one night! Kate has been so excited for baseball season to start - she says she wants "grass games"!! She doesn't care much for basketball!

2010-03-26T23:02:00.000-07:00

BASKETBALL 2010

Dalton's team took second place at County! Go Plain City!

Ty's team had a great year with a undefeated regular season! He loves to play!

2010-03-26T22:41:00.000-07:00

wInTeR 2010

The boys have had such a fun winter skiing this year. Ty is a skier and Dalton is a boarder. Ty had the Utah 5th Grade Passport, so he was able to for free! It was great! Ty and his best friend Kade went a lot together and had such a great time.

Dalton got a snowboard for an early Birthday present - I can't believe how well he does already! I have taken them a few times and they are already better than me! I was so grateful to get through the ski season with no broken bones for any of us!!

2010-02-06T18:22:00.001-08:00

I think it's time we pay a formal tribute to Dalton's home away from home...the Douglas'! Dalton spends countless days and overnights at the Douglas' where he is very much loved!! Dalton's cousin Preston spends a lot of time there too! Wendy, Troy, Jazz and Jake are so much fun. Thanks for everything you do for Dalton! We love you guys! (Especially Kate)

This is Dalton, Preston and Jake at the Douglas' New Years Eve Extravaganza!!

2009-12-27T20:10:00.000-08:00

Ty's 11th Birthday!!

I cannot believe Ty is eleven! In the midst of the holiday season, we had a big party for Ty with all his buddies. They played Wii, pictionary and watched Mall Cop. He was so excited!

2009-12-27T19:57:00.000-08:00

ChRiStMaS DaY

We always spend Christmas day with Grandma and Grandpa Wilson. Grandma Ann came over this year and it was good to visit with her too! We ate with the whole family and the kids were able to play with all their cousins. Dalton got a magician set, Ty got a hunting vest and Kate got a new baby and stroller. They also gave us some games for our family! Later in the day, both sets of grandparents came out to see what Santa brought the kids. They love showing it all off. We played our new game (Scategories - Ty's favorite) with Grandma and Grandpa Oborn.

cHrIsTmAS MoRniNg
Ty was the first child awake this year and did his best to control himself until everyone else got ready to open gifts. We had our first Christmas downstairs this year, so Dalton left a note to let Santa know. He also started a new tradition that he had heard about at school where the children leave their shoes under the tree and Santa fills them with candy!
The kids were so happy with their gifts! Kate received that Barbie Jeep she has asked for for several years, Dalton got a guitar and a DS game and Ty got a MP3 player and clothes. It was a fun morning.

TwAs tHe NiGhT bEfOrE cHriStMaS........

I love Christmas Eve because I think the anticipation is so much fun....especially when you have little kids! We went to Grandma and Grandpa Oborn's for our traditional Christmas Eve filled with food, gifts, the nativity and fun. Dalton got a bit carried away with his part in the nativity and made the wise man more of a wise....! Anyway, I think he was a bit excited to get to the gifts! Kate received her "pillow pet" she had been wishing for for months and was just elated! Ty had a great night playing with his cousins. I think the best part of the night was when Ty and Dalton came home and went FAST asleep! I was amazed and Greg was thankful for that!

2009-12-27T19:35:00.000-08:00

We received a large package from Grandma Colleen before Christmas and it was such a hit with Dalton and Kate. I'm not actually speaking of the gifts (they were great), but the box was hours of fun and entertainment!! They buried each other in the box and then popped out to scare me.

It was a mess to clean up but it was worth the entertainment time!

2009-12-27T19:24:00.000-08:00

Kate's Preschool did a short Christmas performance for the parents and Grandparents. She was so excited to perform her songs but when she saw the crowd that all changed! Her and her best friend, Payton, sat silent through all the songs! At one point, Payton stood up and gave everyone a dirty look. It was so funny! They both warmed up for milk and cookies at the end and Kate was thrilled to receive a gift from Payton and her teacher!

2009-12-27T19:03:00.000-08:00

NEBRASKA

Ty, Greg and Grandpa Scott just returned from a great pheasant hunting trip to Nebraska. This was Ty's first time ever and Greg's first time in 11 years! They had a blast and Ty experienced his first pheasant hunt. Tracy and Tayson were already there, so they were able to hunt with them too! Ty rode on a combine with a local farmer and saw first hand the animals that call the fields their home. Ending the trip with an extra night broken down in nowhere Nebraska, they had a very memorable trip!!

2009-12-27T17:30:00.000-08:00

Thankful for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was held at Grandma and Grandpa Wilson's house. We had a fabulous dinner and then decorated gingerbread houses with the cousins. I think Aunt Holly enjoyed the decorating the most! The kids always love Thanksgiving food and Grandma did not disappoint!

We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Oborn later that night and played with our cousins. It was a great day! As Kate fell asleep that night, she said that she wished our Grandma and Grandpa's would always feed us! I guess she doesn't care for my cooking!

2009-11-01T21:13:00.000-08:00

a SpOOky NiGhT!!

Halloween has become one of our families favorite traditions. We have such a great neighborhood for trick or treating and an awesome haunted house across the street. First we go visit our Grandparents then back to our house where Ty and Dalton's friends hang out, eat and trick or treat. Kate was really excited to go this year and she even braved the haunted house twice!! We were able to see all our cousins at our Grandparents house and even had a pinata at Grandma Oborn's. It was a great night!

2009-11-01T20:51:00.000-08:00

YANKEES

Ty has been a Yankees fan for a few years so when it was time to re-do his room, we went YANKEES all the way! I had promised him a new room since Dalton moved downstairs so it's been fun to decorate just the way he wants. I'll post more when his room in completed, but now that the walls are complete it's really cool!

2009-11-01T20:43:00.000-08:00

Hunting Season

Since Ty now has his hunting license, he is enjoying his first season of bird hunting. Grandpa Scott buys each grandson their first shot gun once they complete hunters safety . The first bird he shot was a goose. You can tell by the smile on his face that he had a great time! Greg said he is a pretty good shot! On Saturday, he was invited to go out with our friend Cody and he shot his first pheasant.

2009-10-31T17:26:00.000-07:00

Football, Football, Football!!

Dalton's football season has come to an end. Even though he was practicing four nights a week, he still didn't want it to end. Dalton played right guard, quarterback, corner and special teams. I think he is by far the smallest on the team but he has a big heart and never quits! He has a great coach, Dave Hobbs. Dalton was able to play with his cousin Preston and his best friend, Jake.

2009-10-31T17:07:00.000-07:00

The End of Baseball.....for a minute!

Ty played Fall Baseball this year instead of Football. He had a great time and was able to play a few different positions. I think in the end he missed Football, but he always has fun with Shock Baseball!!! Now it's on to basketball!

2009-10-31T17:01:00.000-07:00

WoRk aNd FuN

In September, I had the opportunity to attend a marketing conference in Bend, Oregon. Dr. Coleman sent Shay and I to represent the office.

The first day we arrived, we were starving and the store and restaurant were closed. Anyone who knows me, knows what I'm like when I'm hungry!! The pic is of me wanting to break into the store. Other than that, we had a great time and got a lot of new marketing ideas for the office. While we were there, they took us river rafting. It was so beautiful and a lot of fun!!

First Day of Preschool!

Kate started preschool this week with Miss Amy - a fabulous teacher in Pleasant View. She is in the same class as her friend Payton. She was very excited to go and talked about it for weeks but when we arrived she changed her mind. I had to leave her crying in the teacher's arms but Kelly (Payton's Mom) assured me it only lasted a moment! She has so much to tell us about when she comes home including the rule that Miss Amy does not allow nose picking in her class! She especially enjoyed her "birthday" day when she was able to be the leader for the day! I will have to post a pic of her and her teacher at a later time because she has just not wanted to stand that close to Miss Amy yet! Below is her first day pic with her new backpack - Wow she's a poser!

2009-09-09T21:19:00.000-07:00

The "PRINCESS" is FOUR!!!

I cannot believe it was four years ago that we added a little girl to our family! Kate had her fourth birthday on Sunday. We had already celebrated with the Oborn's and Grandma and Grandpa Wilson were out of town, so we had a small family celebration on Sunday morning. Dalton's friend Jake was here too, and that worked out well because that is Kate's "monkey". (we don' know where that came from but that's what she calls Jake)

The boys decorated the front room the night before with balloons and a sign so when she woke up they made a big deal and opened presents in the special room! She loved it!!

Ashlyn, Holly and Preston came over and brought her some sidewalk paint and chalk. They had a great time decorating the driveway for her birthday! She requested a "Maggie and the Ferocious Beast" cake and once it was finished she spent the day waiting to eat it! Later, we had Ty's coaches family over (he was helping Greg with the basement) so we had cake and she played with their little girls. I think she had a great day!

Oborn Family Retreat

The weekend before school started, we headed up to Bear Lake with Grandma and Grandpa Oborn and all our Oborn cousins. We stayed overnight, swam at the hotel and spent the day at the beach. Ty and Dalton loved riding the waverunner! Ty isn't bothered by the cold water and swam all day long! Dalton stayed out of the water most of the time, but played in the sand, played baseball and made ice cream with Grandma. Kate flew kites almost the whole time! She just ran back and forth along the beach and tired herself right out! Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa who make sure we go each year! It's hard to get everyone together, but it's worth it!

2009-09-09T20:54:00.000-07:00

bAcK tO ScHoOl....

It seems like it came really fast this year, but we have officially started another school year. I cannot believe the boys are in 5th and 4th grades!! I wouldn't say they were excited to go back, but once they met their teachers they were excited!

Ty is in the 5th grade and is in a split class taught by Mrs. Hislop and Mrs. Simonson. He really likes both of them and is doing really well!

Dalton is in the 4th grade and has Mrs. Johnson. He really likes her AND her husband who substituted the other day!

SuMmErTiMe!!!

Wow, I cannot believe summer is over! The kids start back to school on Monday and I don't know where the summer went. Since I haven't been good at posting this summer, I thought I would tell a little about some of our summer fun. Greg and I have worked a lot this summer, so thanks to Grandparents and friends the kids have done a few things that they wouldn't have been able to.

Grandma and Grandpa Wilson took each child overnight to Lava Hot Springs this summer. They had a great time riding four wheelers and fishing. It's so fun having special time on their own. Greg and Grandpa Scott also took the boys fishing a few times and caught lots of fish!

Grandma and Grandpa Oborn took Kate to Lagoon and joined up with Allie and Ryan. Kate had so much fun riding with her cousins!! She kept telling me that she is Dylan's "buddy" so they had to ride together! Grandma and Grandpa Oborn and Allie also took all the cousins down to the Gateway for the annual "running through the water". We wondered if the boys would be to old for it now, but I guess the older kids had the most fun!!

Ty and Dalton went overnight with Grandpa Mont and Grandma Debbie in their new RV. They camped up to Willard and even went on the wave runner. They think the RV is awesome!

Dalton was invited on a vacation with the Douglas' this summer (his other family). They went to St. George for five days and stayed at Entrada where High School Musical was filmed! Dalton had a great time and was totally impressed with the "high class" place they stayed! They didn't ever want to come home!

We did go swimming a few times, Bear Lake, Park City, night games, doorbell ditching?! (without permission), and lots of sleep overs! To say the least, the boys do not want summer to end! The past two weeks I have tried to fit in a few more things that the kids wanted to do, so below is the run down on those activities.

Ty said he would like to see how they make taffy, so I took the kids to the Sweet Candy Factory for a tour. They really liked it! They give out samples and see how all different types of candies are made. During the tour, the guide asked what our favorite candy is. Dalton loudly announced "Hershey's Chocolate"! Yikes! That is his favorite, but the guide laughed and asked for his favorite "Sweets" brand candy. Unfortunately, they were not making taffy that day but the kids had a great time and left with lots of candy.

The same day, we traveled to the Kennecot Copper Mine. I have told the boys about the man made hole you can see from space and they thought it was worth the trip. Also, their Grandpa Mont worked there when I was born so that is cool too! The most amazing part of the Mine was the large equipment that is used. They had a tire on display from one of the hundreds of dump trucks they operate. They boys were amazed at the size of the tire and the dump trucks that were as big as a house!

We went to the Hogle Zoo last week with Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Mont. Kate had not been there in two years, so it was all new to her! She said she liked the monkeys the best! They have a great bird show that is always fun for the kids.

Last, we spent the day at Sparetime Fun Center in Syracuse on Thursday. We had so much fun! (Thanks to Monty Vorwaller) We played laser tag, mini-golf, arcade games and bowling! Kate wanted to "shoot guns" so I put the laser tag pack on and Kate ran in front of me with the gun. She loved it and wanted to do it again and again! She had to Mom a rest in between games because I could barely keep up with her! I hope the kids had a fun summer and came away with some great memories!

2009-07-11T19:54:00.000-07:00

FATHERS
I know I missed it in my blogging, but I want the fathers in our lives to know they are not forgotten. As for "our" Dad, the kids fixed him a great breakfast and bed and were delighted to serve him. Kate drew a picture to go with breakfast and they were happy to see him enjoy it. We bought Greg a new grill, so I'm sure he'll be cooking us some good dinners! Greg works so hard for our family and is such a caring father.

As for our Grandpa's, we are so lucky to have them all in our lives. The boys love to hang out with them either on a trip, fishing, golfing, watching motorcycle races, sports, TV and going on field trips together. Kate loves Grandpas for hugs, thrown up in the air and just hanging out. Thanks for all the support our Grandpas give us!

For Greg and I, we both have great fathers who support us in so many ways. They are always there for us with advice and help anytime we need.

Thanks DADS!

SaLuTe tO tHe FaNs!

I cannot forget the fans who come to all the games that the boys play, number one being KATE! She is such a trooper as she watches at least 5 hours each Saturday. She has so many friends on Ty's team and they play so good together. At Dalton's games, she makes friends with the person who has the best treats! It's pretty funny to watch her.

We also need to thank all of our grandparents who come to the games. The kids love seeing them there! THANKS!

2009-07-11T19:29:00.000-07:00

TEAM SHOCK!!!

Ty's team had a great baseball season and just qualified for the Tournament of Champions. They have great coaches and the kids just really have fun together! Shock is almost all North Ogden kids except for Ty and Tyler who is from Farr West. Ty's coach does a great website with the players pics, stats and schedules. Ty has played catcher and outfield this year. He has really improved and has hit really well too!

2009-07-11T19:15:00.000-07:00

Way to go Dodgers!

Dalton played on a new comp team this year named the North Ogden Dodgers. They were a first year team and had a lot of catching up to do, but showed so much improvement by the end of the year. The team was made up mostly on North Ogden kids, but had 3 Plain City kids. He played outfield, second, and even got to pitch in a game! He had a great time!

2009-07-11T19:01:00.000-07:00

4th of July at Bear Lake

For the first time in a LONG time we missed the Plain City 4th of July celebration and celebrated for the weekend in Bear Lake with the (Cody)Rhees family. The weather was awesome (I got my wish for below 100 degrees on the 4th) and the kids had a great time. Dalton and Greg golfed and met us later that day at the beach. Ty loves to swim in Bear Lake and Kate plays in the sand and spent an hour just jumping the little waves that came to shore. Ty and Dalton rode the 4-wheeler a lot and Kate played with Courtney and Blakely. At night, we sat out on the deck and watched all the fireworks. It was gorgeous!

Rain, Rain, Rain!

Here in Utah, June has been the wettest month I can remember. The ballgames have been pleasantly cool and the yard looks like we live in Washington! The boys have had a lot of rain-outs (baseball), so I think we'll be playing into July. I am hoping for a cooler 4th of July - wouldn't that be great?

Flowers on my favorite tree!

DoInG HeR oWn HaIr AlReAdY?

Recently, Kate has started to do her own hair. Although Greg and I are amazed how well she does for a 3 year old, I am really not ready for this!! Can you imagine how long it takes her? It requires lots of water, gel and hair accessories and usually falls out before we make it to the car! Despite this, she is very proud of herself as you can see!

ARIZONA

I just got back from a visit to Arizona to see Colleen (my birth Mom) and hang out with my good friend Pam Garfield Brown. It was so good to see both of them and visit with their friends and families.

Pam arranged a night out with the girls, so I was able to see Natalie (Pam's sister-in-law and my friend from our "girls trips"). We had a great time. Pam's family was so sweet to let me stay with them! Thanks Ryan for sharing Pam for a few days!

After that, I was able to go stay with Hal and Colleen. She has had some health problems, so I wanted to spend some time with her. We were able to visit with her friend Sherry and had a great time. We cooled down in the pool, shopped, took a nap and just hung out! It was very relaxing for me and good to see Colleen. She had been working hard on scrapbooks, so we were able to look at those. I am very grateful to Greg for watching the kids so that I could spend that time with Colleen.

OdDs & EnDs

This month we bid farewell to my nephew, Kyle, who is going on a mission to Rapid City, South Dakota. (Same Mission as my brother) Yes, it's the same kid I used to love to take everywhere with me. I cannot believe he is old enough!! Kyle is such a great person and we know he will be an excellent missionary!

Also, I have started a new job this month. I am working for Dr. Brett Coleman (orthodontist) as a marketing coordinator. I am really excited about the job and the people I work with. I just hope I can quit saying Coleman Knitting instead of Coleman Orthodontics!!

Mothers Day

I am very late in posting this, but I wanted to wish my Mom and all my other "Mom's" a Happy Mothers Day. Each year, Allie and I celebrate by taking our Mom as well as our Mother-in-Laws to a nice brunch.

This year we went to a small restaurant near 25th street where they served an English tea style lunch. The little girls got to come this year too and have a little tea party! It's always a fun tradition. Allie and I are so lucky to have our great Mom and mother-in-laws that we love too!!

Our new playground

Best friends..Dalton & Kate

What's happening...

Just an update on our life. Ty and Dalton are both playing baseball now so our lives are going to be crazy for the next few months. Thanks to good teammates and neighbors, we are able to get kids where they need to be. How do people have more than a few kids in activities at the same time!!

Kate just finished Kindermusik for the year and had a fun party at the Chugg farm. Miss Susan is such a great teacher!! Kate finally got a playground this weekend. I found one on KSL and thanks to a lot of friends we were able to get it to our house. (It was a tad bit heavier than I thought it would be) It was all worth it, though, because the kids (even the big ones) have played on it non stop!

We found a good home for our hamster, so that is one less thing Mom has to take care of. Dalton wanted to make sure it wasn't going to a home for snake food and I made sure of that!!

2009-04-22T13:11:00.000-07:00

Easter 2009

Easter was very exciting for Kate this year. She played "hide the egg" with Ty and Dalton for a week before Easter so she was ready!! I think she is funny because at the Plain City egg hunt, she looked through the grass for the kind of candy she liked rather than just grab it all. I guess she like quality rather than quantity. This was Ty's first year that he was kind of too old for the egg hunts, so he went to Bear Lake with the Rhees' for a few days and came back for Easter Sunday. Dalton enjoyed his last year at the Plain City hunt and then went to Grandma Oborns for a Easter party. We enjoyed breakfast on Saturday with Grandma and Grandpa Oborn and a fun egg hunt. On Sunday, we had dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Wilson's and another egg hunt. The kids got more candy than they could eat and had a great time!

Looking For a New Home

I am looking for a new home. My playmates have become bored of me and moved on. I am hoping there are some new kids out there who would like a hamster in their home. I am very nice (never bitten), sleep a lot, come with my own room and exercise equipment. I will gladly go by whatever you would like to call me. Currently, I am going by "Hammy" or "Okur" . Please leave us a message if you would like me to become a part of your family! PLEASE!

Finally...a day at the park!

We had two beautiful days this week, so me and Kate took advantage of it and went to the park both days. On Monday, we went to the park with Allie, her kids and Grandma Oborn. It was so nice and the kids loved getting some fresh air. Unfortunately, back to snow by Wednesday. I'm just glad we enjoyed while we had the chance!

Family Pictures...Now That's A Lot of Work!

For my Mom's birthday this year she asked us to get family pictures taken. Kyle is leaving on a mission and it's been three years since the last one, so we thought it was a good time. Well, I think you just have to have a sense of humor when it comes to this. I just had to post one of our "tries" because looking back on it, it is just funny. Dylan was just not happy at this moment and I don't think Kate smiled for a single picture. I'm just hoping the photographer can get us a few good ones for my Mom. Happy birthday Mom!
