Summer Time

Gosh it's sad... here it is 2 days after the first day of FALL and I'm writing a post titled "Summer Time." Oh well, better late then never!

Here are just some random pictures from our 2010 Summer! It was one that we will always remember and for no reason other than... we made MEMORIES as a FAMILY!

Jensen Dean learned how to use chopsticks!

and... how to catch shrimp with his mouth,

and how to ignore Japanese People that mock him!

One day I came home from work to this...

Does life get any simpler?

This is my Cousin Megan AKA Boo

Either Megan or Boo... She is by far J Deans FAVORITE!

On July 17th Ben and I made a last minute decision to drive up to Bear Lake and spent the weekend with our FAVORITE God Mothers Or as our Boys call them "Fairy God Mothers" at their beautiful cabin.

Just relaxin'!

Miss Lori... So fun!

My 2nd Mom Kim showing her bite to Carma, Hernan and Julie

My amazing Husband!

The last minute trip to Bear Lake was one of our BEST choices this Summer!

We sure spent a lot of Summer days SwImMiNg this year!

Am I not the luckiest Woman in the world?

I sure think so... look at those 4 BOYS!

This is what happens when you get stung by a hornet that you are allergic to!

Jack and Jensen...

I am pretty sure they were prunes all summer!

I am so blessed and so thankful for these 3 boys.

Jaden final brave enough to go off the "low" diving board!

Hey, it's better then nothing!

And last but not least... Benjamin doing, uh,

I'm not sure... off the "HIGH" dive!

Camping 2010

Back in July... ya, I'm way behind, we decided to pack up and head out of town for the weekend!
We went to the Boat Club at Utah Lake, not far but FUN!!!

We met up with my Brother Brady, his wife Ashley, their little boy Thomas, my Cousin Cole, his GF Chante, their litte girl Avah and our good friend Linda. What a great group! Here are some pictures of the awesome weekend!

WAY TO GO RIVERTON!!!

4th of July with 1 of 3 Kids, a sick Mommy & an AMAZING Daddy!

This year is was the FIRST year I have missed the Riverton Parade in years. Due to my tonsil surgery and complications in the early morning hours of the 2nd, I was given a direct order from my Mom "NO PARADE TONIGHT!" What a sad day.
Later that night I promised my Mom and my sweet Husband that I would rest several times during the day IF they would allow me to attend our annual celebrations at Aunt LaRaines. They both agreed!!!
My little Jackee was with his Daddy this year. Jaden had an All Star Baseball game so, he was with Grandpa most of the day.
Here are some pictures (minus Jaden and Jack :( )... my favorite day of the year and I felt awful!!!

Daddy and Jens hangin out!

Jensen Ding and Uncle Bill playing like always!

What is so fun about a bounce house?

I did break the rules and went to the fair for a minute!

Sparkler time! Lovin it!

Daddy took Jaden to the fair to ride rides.

Me and Jensen laid on a blanket and watched the fireworks together!

It was an amazing show!

What a long hard day at work!!!

HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!

See ya later...NOT

On the 23rd of June I had my tonsils and adenoids removed. I had cryptic tonsils and knew about it for a couple years. I had heard the older you are the worse the surgery, dumb me put it off for 2 years. Finally when I went to the ENT on a Wednesday they requested surgery for the following Friday (2 days later)! Of coarse I had to get my last beers in so I set it up for the following Wednesday! Let me tell ya... rough does not do justice for the recovery from this surgery at the age of 29! BUT... after a few set backs (normal for me haha) a lot of yucky pills and shedding 19 pounds, I am feeling good! I will NEVER have to do it again since tonsils don't grow back BUT if I had to... I could handle it! So if you need them out, do it! You feel so much better!
