Our Collector and our Little Farmers

Bridger loves seashells, He has been collecting them ever since he could pick them up. Today he lined them up all on the counter top. You might have to click on the picture to see them good.

One of our neighbor went on vacation and Jason volunteered to feed all there animals on there farm. Baxter been such a trooper. Hes been milking the cows everyday, and feeding all the live stock.

I don't think Baxter will ever want to be a farmer after this.

Fun With My Cousins

Jason sister jill came down and stayed with us for a few days, Brielle just loved having Holden to play girl stuff with her.

Goodbye Summer

Its official the last weekend of summer.

Jason and the kids have been taking over our neighbors pool everyday. Brielle is not afraid at all of the water and just jumps right in.

School starts Monday and the house will be way quiet. The boys our excited.

Bostons Birthday Party.

Boston had a fun birthday party. He had one friend come and spend the night and had cake and ice cream.

My mom and sister tiff came for the weekend and helped Jason out. we way appreciated it.

and for me I'm up a little bit more and feeling a lot better. I honestly have never expected it to be this bad. This is my 6 major surgery and I've came out of all the others great so I thought this would be a lot like it. But this has been horrible. I remember coming out of surgery and them asking if I felt alright. and I thought they got to have something wrong I not alive anymore or so it felt like it. I think it had a lot to do with losing half of the blood in my body, I would have to say that's the worse feeling ever. The nurses came in my room that night and were talking to each other and they were saying they had heard about this girl that lost a lot of blood during surgery and that shes totally white as a ghost and she is alive she just does not look it. then they turned around and they realized it was me. Doesn't that make you feel better. But I'm up and getting stronger everyday. I would just like to thank everyone that has helped so much. My mom has been such a lifesaver talking work off and keeping the kids so Jason could stay in the hospital with me. Also her and my sister Tiff coming and helping all weekend when I came home. and Jason sister Mindy for keeping the kids to. And for everyone thoughts prayers and phone calls they all been so appreciated. I wanted to tell you the story of the community shirt too. Bridger comes in one day with this shirt on I know we only have one of these shirts. the next day Boston comes in with it on. The next day Baxter comes in with it on and the next day Bridger has it on again. I don't think that Jason has even noticed that they keep taking it off and the next one just puts it on the the next morning and I have been way to drugged up to even care. I was finnally up enough yesterday to grab it and throw it in the wash. Jason has done awesome he has been such a good dad and husband. I 'm not ripping on him at all I just thought it was funny.

Happy Birthday Boston

Happy 6th Birthday Boston. We hope you have a great Birthday.

Heidi's Summer Vacation

Heidi is now home from the hospital. It was a few rough days for her but she is now starting to feel a little better. Her surgery was complicated but successful (the 40 minute procedure took over 3 hours). She lost quite a significant amount of blood so they had to give her a blood transfusion yesterday but it has helped her start the healing process. Heidi is getting some well needed rest right now and is looking forward to feeling back to normal. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts, phone calls and prayers.

Such a sweet big brother

We took Brielle for her shots on Friday. Jason asked the boys who will go in and get the shots for your sister. Baxter says I will so she doesn't have to have any pain. What a sweet brother. A proud parent moment when you realize maybe I'm doing a OK job at parenting. I'm sure that feeling won't last long. I also went to the doctor on Friday, and I'm got to have a hysterectomy on weds. So Jason going to turn into Mr. mom for a little while. I'm hoping I'm up and feeling good by the time the kids go back to school on the 25Th. I feel relieved to finally know all be feeling better and not for that monthly visitor anymore. But part of me is a little sad. I think I've held on for so long knowing how hard it has been for me to have all the children we have. Not saying I could have another one because all the problems I've had with each pregnancy, but just knowing that will never be possible again. Makes me a Little sad. But I think the good out ways the bad. My doctor was telling me were I've had three c-section that its going to be a little difficult in surgery, where I'm never had a normal delivery, I'm to small for them to bring the uterus and stuff threw the birth canal. so they will have to cut my stomach in four different places to do it safely. So hopefully everything will go good. Wish me luck and if anyone wants to help Jason out with the kids I'm sure he would gladly take it.

Just a few things so far on are trip

We came down from the mountain and spent the 24th of July in beaver. The boys rode in the parade with there grandpa baker and uncle Elmer. Then we had a fun BBQ and fireworks with there cousins.

Mom Bostons touching me.
We have done lots of fishing.
and campfires.
and even found some snow.

and Baxter well he was coming down a hill and rolled his four Wheeler he jumped off and the bike went tumbling down the hill Jason chased it and caught it with his leg right before it went off the cliff. His leg is quite sore. Well so far so good we will be back in a week and a half.

Excitement in the neighborhood.

Today I headed into Las Vegas to pick my Dad and Step mom up at the airport, they have been in Africa on a hunting safari. My dad did awesome and shot all different stuff. Well any way me and the kids stopped and got the mail on the way out of town. All of a sudden the police go by in a high speed chase. I thought thats weird nothing ever happens in logandale. So we stopped next at Wally's and got some drinks for the way. There went the cops again the other way. Then I really wondered what was going on. So we took off to Vegas, I got off my exit and my neighbor calls me and she says you must not be home, and I'm like no I'm in Vegas. She says this guy stole this truck and then went to the power department and stole a lot of tools from them. Then the cops and the guys from the power department chased him right in front of your house and he left the truck right in front of your house. He took off in your back yard. I told her I don't know if my doors are locked or not. So I get a call back a few minutes latter and the cops are asking me if they could go in my house they thought he might be in here. I'm like good luck, but feeling lucky that we weren't home when this all went down. So I guess they came in and searched meanwhile the guy took off and stole my neighbors car, and the cops chased him, out to the desert where he totalled there car. I guess he was a escaped felon from Wyoming. Its funny never a dole moment here.

Zion and the Renaissance fair.

Good news brielle found her brothers, We went up two days early for the boys because brielle was having such a hard time without her brothers. I think the boys missed her more then us. We took off from my moms and headed up to zion for the night.
The zion shuttle was quite the experience.
We hiked to weeping rock, Part of the narrows and made it all the way to the third emerald pool. Its always quite the experience hiking with jason some how we got off the path and jason took us for are own little nature hike for a few miles all up hill. He loved it the boys keep saying why are you torchering us like this, and brielle she just hum the theme song to Indiana Jones the hole way up. She picked it up somewhere it way cute.
This is a squirrel up at the top pool it wouldn't leave me or brielle alone, it keep take brielle crackers from her.
We went up to cedar city on Saturday with my mom and met up with my sister and her girls and went to the renaissance fair it was way fun.





This will probably be my last post for a few weeks. We our taking off for 3 weeks camping I can't wait to find some cooler weather.
