This year we didn't have any New Years eve plans so we decided to go to the cabin. We have never been in the winter and I loved it... I only wish there had been more snow! It was so nice to just hang out and be lazy. The kids built endless houses with lincoln logs and Brax was entertained for a good part of the night with some tinker toys.When I tell people I married someone super special...

So I have kind of forgotten that we have a blog! I have not posted in almost 2 years and so much in our lives has happened. The kids are getting so big and growing fast. Braydan just turned 10, Braxtan is now 8, and Taya is 6. They are always busy with something; dance, sports, school, scouts etc. Tony is still working at UPS and we are both glad that the Christmas rush is over! I am working as a

They did it! Both Braydan and Braxtan were able to take first place at the State bantam wrestling tournament last Saturday. Braydan pinned all 3 kids that he wrestled in the first round and Braxtan finished off the season unbeaten. Good job boys, we are proud of you!

Braydan had been asking me for a while if he and I could spend a little time alone together. Its seems to get harder and harder to do that as the kids get older and we get busier. I have been wanting to try out my camera and see if I could get some decent night shots and put my camera to some use. Bray thought that it would be fun to come along with me. We stayed up late and waited for everyone

Last Sunday we wanted to go for a drive. Tony's grandpa Max stopped by and we invited him to come along. We didn't know where we were going or what we were going to do when we set out. We ended up taking a drive out to New Castle then through some back roads and came out on Antelope road. We just drove around and Max showed us all the places he used to live when he was a kid. He took us out to

So I haven't posted a blog in forever. Here are some of out latest adventures and happenings. We took the kids ice fishing for the first time. Tony also had never been and I had only been a couple of times when I was little. We had an awesome time and the kids had a blast! We had so much fun that we stayed all day. We got up there around 7 am and didnt leave until after 4.Tony and Jason HoytTaya

I figured since Tony got me a camera for Christmas I might want to try to figure the dang thing out and put it to some use. I enlisted my brother and his family as my victims. As you can see by these pics I am very new to both photography and photo shop. Here are a few pics of our adventure! Thanks Matt, Natalie, and kids for letting waste your time on a Sat! Hopefully you will let me do it again

We got lucky again tonight and were able to have some of the kids cousins come and spend the night with us. My kids always love it when they come and we always seem to have a ton of fun! Everyone has someone to play with and that keeps them out of moms hair. YAY! We decorated sugar cookies for Santa (ate most of them), played a lot of wii fit and rockband, then went down stairs and watched a

Happy 8th birthday Bray! We are so proud of you and love you very much! You are always willing to help and never complain about it! Thank you for being such and easy, happy kid! You make our lives easy! We hope it is a good birthday for you and all your wishes come true!Braydan has decided to pick a few friends and take them to Ninja for dinner. He has also enlisted me to make him an R2D2 cake.

So again I am late posting pictures! Here are some pics of the kids in their costumes. Every year we get together with all of the neighbors kids to go trick or treating. We light up the trailer with halloween lights and either pull in with the rhino or a truck. They love it and I am going to be sad when they don't want to do it anymore! Taya was a geisha Braydan and his friend Jordan

Since the kids didn't have school on Friday I thought that it would be a good day to take a trip over to the pumpkin patch in paragonah. It worked out good and we were able to go with some cousins. My kids love their cousins and any opportunity they can get to hang out with them they are ecstatic! It seems to make things funner for them! Everyone found their "perfect" pumpkin. We have taken them

Braxtan got to take all of his friends to funtime inflatables and then we brought them back home to have cake and ice cream. He had a blast and is already planning his party for next year.Brax, you are a funny kid and are always making us laugh! We love how you try to be so tough and strong but of all our kids you are the one who is the most sensitive and tender hearted! We love your goofy

The other day I was in cleaning the house and the kids were out in the front yard playing and riding bikes..... well that is what I thought. When I went outside there was a bunch of sticks and rocks taped to the blocks and power boxes. Upon investigation I was able to figure out that they were in fact lizard traps. When I asked where they learned how to make traps they told me they learned it

We had a lot of first at our house today! Braxtan started his first day of Kindergarten and had an awesome time! I was walking him to his class today and asked him if he was excited. He told me yes but that his eyes were sweating. (This is what he says when he crying a little but does not want anyone to know.) When I asked him why they were sweating he looked up at me and said, "ahh mom, I am

I felt lost today without Braydan. People keep asking me if I miss my helper. Although he is my best helper that is not why I missed him! I missed the 500 hugs and kisses he gave me everyday of the summer! I hope he knows that he is going to have to make that up after school and on the weekends. We love you Bray and hope you have an awesome year!

On Sunday Tony and I had a conversation about how unsafe it was for Braydan to be riding his motorcycle without boots. Now a lot of you are probably thinking no shit, but those dang things are expensive and he has grown 3 shoe sizes since summer began. He wears a helmet, chest protector, riding pants, knee pads, gloves, but no boots. We both agreed that we would start looking for boots so that

Happy 29th birthday Tony!Thanks for all you do for us! You are a great dad and are always so fun to play with! We love to go on rhino rides with you and think that it is so fun to go shooting rabbits! Thank you for always snuggling us to sleep when mom says no. We love you very much!Love: Braydan, Braxtan, and Taya

I have kind of forgotten that we had a blog. Looking back at pictures I realized that we have done a lot since school got out. The kids have had two sessions of swimming lessons. Braydan and Braxtan are now at the pre swim team level and Taya has finally passed level one. We had many evenings at the ball parks this spring and summer. I was able to coach Braydans' team again this year. We had a

Taya and her cake.Happy birthday princess doodle bop! We love you so much and are glad you are ours. One of my favorite things about you is that no matter where you are in the house I will hear you yelling for me or dad. You never need or want anything and when we say what Taya, you always respond with an I love you. You are growing up so fast and I wouldn't mind if you would slow it down a bit!

Well I did another one. It was good to be able to swim this time, even though the weather started to get crappy and the water started to get rough about the time our wave took off. The bike sucked, my chain came off 5 times and every time I was going up a hill. My run was pretty average and overall it was a good experience. It rained the entire time and was pretty cold. I finished in 1:32:48. I

Today was our 8Th anniversary and it seems like yesterday until I start to think of where we started at and where we are today. We have accomplished many things, learned alot, grown up, changed, but most importantly we have had a ton of fun together! Yesterday I was cleaning out some stuff and ran across the photo album from our wedding day. It was so fun to remember that day, but I am also so

The kids had a busy last week of school..... Plays, field day, field trips, water parties, and programs. Bray was able to be in a play that some of the first graders put on. It was a play of Johny Appleseed and he played Brave One. It was really fun to see him get up on the stage and not be scared! He did an excellent job! Braxtan had a program to graduate from his preschool class. It was

Our kids are always catching all sorts of creatures! Here are a few from this week end. A funny little story about the horny toad. On Saturday Tony and Braydan found this horny toad, Bray of course wanted to bring it home and I said no. As we were getting into the truck to leave he started to bawl. He was so sad that he was going to have to leave it that I gave in and now we have a pet horny toad

Well the Triathlon ended up on not being a triathlon. The wind was to bad that the Kayaks couldn't hold their positions in the water, so due to safety they canceled the swim and made it a duathlon. Instead of swimming 1/2 mile, biking 14 miles, and running a 5k(3.1 miles) we had to run a 5k then bike the 14 miles and then run another 5k. It turned out pretty good and considering that I hadn't

My new years resolution was to lose some weight and complete a triathlon this year. I started doing P90X on January 1st and did not miss one work out for 45 days. After the 45 days was over I started to train for the triathlon and have been sneeking in 2-3 P90X workouts a week with some abs. I have promised myself that I will not measure my self until July so I am unsure of exactly how many

The weather was awesome and the water was good so we jumped at the chance to take a dip.

Pics of the first Bonn fire for the summer of 2009. I hope there are many more to come! We ate a lot of hot dogs, chips, and the kids had plenty of marshmallows. I had a blast and think that everyone else did too. The kids love to hike, climb, go on rhino rides, and play in the sand, not to mention it is the only time they get to play with fire. We had a blast thanks for coming everyone, and

So I am happy to announce that I am done with cake decorating and will no longer be posting about it, I am sure you are all sad! We finished class 3 yesterday and decided to wait until next fall to take the fondant and gum paste class. I took Taya with me, she had been asking to go for a long time but I was nervous to take her. I do have to say that she was amazing! I gave her a little bag of

We had a long, busy, fun filled weekend. 2 birthday parties, the fun run, cake decorating, hiking, and some riding.The kids were worn out by saturday night and all of them fell asleep on the living room floor watching a movie.On Saturday morning the neighbors talked me into running the ROTC fun run with them. We braved the freezing wind and ran the race. Brock took 1st in his age group and Kason

We had a pretty good Easter this year. On Saturday we braved the rain and snow and took the kids to the city park for the egg hunt. I have to say it was much better than years past! After the egg hunt was over and Braxtan had collected the basket he had won we went to wait in line for Taya to get her picture taken with the Easter Bunny. I stood in line with her for about five minutes when I

When Taya got up this morning and saw clear blue skies she was certain it was summer. After constant nagging from her wanting to wear this dress for months, I gave in. Taya got to go with one of her friends (Cameron) to Wal Mart last summer after we spent some time at the park, and (Steph) Camerons mom bought Taya this little dress.

Just another cake decorating class. We learned how to cover a cake with fondant. I now know how to make this fabulous bow out of nasty tasting icing. I don't ever see my self making another bow on a cake but you never know and I guess all knowledge is good knowledge. I really hate cake decorating and have no idea why I keep doing it! It really does take forever to make a cake like this, and now

Since we couldn't really do anything today with Braydan having a concussion, we decided to take the kids to Ninja for dinner. We have been a couple of times before but never with just "our little family." We always go with friends or family, so it was like an all new experience for the kids. They had a blast and for once behaved awesome while we waited and ate. I thought that these pictures

Since today was early out Wednesday, the kids got to go over to my moms for "cousin day." Every once in a while my mom will get most of the cousins together for 3 or 4 hours to play. I dropped them off and left to take Tony his lunch before I went to the gym. I had enough time to go through the McDonald's drive through when I got a call. It was my mom telling me that Braydan had fallen and hit

The boys all ran out in front of the crowd before the tournament started. Here is all the wrestlers getting ready to say the pledge. Bray and Brax are somewhere in the back with gray shirts on. There were so many kids and people! Braydan trying to get a pin. We weren't able to get very many good pics of Braxtan but he is trying to get a take down right here.Braydan on the medal stand.

Taya with her candy necklace and ring.Taya and her friend Rylie Josi had been invited to a Lia Sophia (tea party) on Saturday and asked if she could take Taya. Since we had state wrestling with the boys all day I thought that it would be great, besides I hate all that girly crap and Taya thrives on it. Thank goodness for Josi to help me with all of her girly girl things! Here are some pics of

Both Braydan and Braxtan took second at the tournament this weekend. They did so good and wrestled really hard. I was so happy it was in Cedar and I didn't have to get up at 4 in the morning to get everyone ready to go. The boys last tournament is Saturday at Canyon View, Then we will be on the machine pitch for Braydan and t-ball for Braxtan.

Tallon and Tracee share a birthday so we put together a little family party with cake and ice cream. Josi and I thought that since we have been taking a cake decorating class that we would try to decorate a cake for each of them. Here is how it turned out. This is the cake I made for Tracee.Josi made this cake for Tallon. HAPPY BIRTDAY GUYS!

After we got home from the wrestling tournament on Saturday we loaded up and went out to three peaks. It was good to have some nice weather so that we could all go on a rhino ride! The kids had more fun climbing on the rocks and hunting for lizards than they did going on a ride but it was still fun! Here are some pics. I don't know why I dont have any pics of Tony or me, but hopefully I can get

So again we took the kids to a wrestling tournament on Saturday. This week was in Enterprise. Braydan did awesome and took first place. He pinned 2 out of the 3 kids he wrestled. Braxtan also did really well, but was put into a kindergarten bracket so he was wrestling kids a year older than him and he lost all three matches. He wrestled so hard during his first match and almost pinned the kid but

So we had another wrestling tournament this weekend. After a very early morning and a long drive in the snow to Milford, Braydan took second place and wrestled so awesome! Braxtan also did very good and took third. Way to go guys! We are so proud of how hard you wrestled today!

We had a chance to take the kids up the mountain to go snowmobiling today. Josi was able to bring her dads two sleds and then we met mom and Connel up at Strawberry. The kids had never been before and didn't really know what to expect. Braydan said it was the funnest thing he had ever done and Tony had a great time trying to dump me off the back! Thank you to Mom, Connel, Kelly, and Josi. We owe

Our front yard is confused. Almost all of our crocus have already bloomed and our iris' are about 2 inches tall. We also already have tulips coming up. I think that they are teasing us! I am so ready for spring to be here and am getting a little stir crazy. I am pretty sure that nature has sensed this and is torturing me, maybe it is karma.

The boys had their first wrestling tournament for the year on Saturday. Braxtan only had 3 people in his bracket. He won his first match and pinned the kid in his second match then had a bye for his third. He took first place and was really happy. Braydan had a little bit of a rough start and lost his first and second match, but with a little coaching from Tony and his coach he won his third

The other night Braydan had a hard time falling asleep because he had watched a scary movie after school. He kept comming in to the living room and asking us to come and snuggle him but Tony had already fallen asleep in the chair and I was still folding laundry. I told him that I would come in a while. When I finally got in there he had turned on all the lights and moved Braxtan over the the

I am not generally a violent person, but everytime I see this girl I get so overwhelmed with annoyance that I get the urge to punch her in the forehead. I don't think that I have ever hated someone so much! I think that I have to quit watching the show until I know that she is gone. I watch her and then I go to bed mad and frustrated that I had to hear that stupid laugh. I dreamt last night that

Tony and I went to the Hinder Concert in St. George with some friends on Saturday. I was really nervous to go because I had never left Taya over night before. The boys had only spent a handfull of nights away from us. I hate to leave my kids and feel sort of lost when they are gone, especially at night. The kids were so excited to stay at Josi's house. Taya had been talking about it for days.

I am not sure if my kids are unusual or if all siblings are like this. All 3 of my kids love to snuggle. When we sit down to watch a movie, they have to sit really close to you, but only if they haven't won the position on your lap. I thought this was cute when a few days ago Braxtan and Taya went down stairs to watch a movie. I went down about 15 minutes later and this is what I found. If

Braxtan called us down stairs one day to show us this dance that he had made up. We don't have sound on our digital camera but at the first of the video he is standing there saying, " This is my dance and it is called Fish out of Water." I thought it was so funny and had to share it with you. You will probably want to turn the volume on the player off, other wise it will make a fuzzy sound.

I wasn't feeling very good today so we were all just kind of laying around watching movies and relaxing. Taya was coming and going into the room changing outfits every five minutes. After a few minutes Taya came and bent down in front of my face. On her face was a great big, aren't you proud of me Mommy smile. It took me a minute to realize what she wanted me to see, when I finally noticed her

There is no explanation to how ridonculous Tony is when he gets around his friends. He just had to show Micah he has a way super tuff rhino! We had just got home from a little ride and Tony thought that he would give this a try. He had seen someone do it on You Tube, only they climbed up their garage wall. I guess the garage was out of question and since Micah has really wide tires Tony tried and

The other night I was making dinner and realized that Taya had been way to quite for way to long. I thought for sure she was doing something that she shouldn't. I snuck down the hall with the camera in hopes that I could find her doing something she shouldn't and get a good shot of it. Instead I found her on her bed with her mp3 player and headphones on with her note book. It took her a while to

After reading a book with the kids about giraffes and seeing this picture of me, I noticed how much my neck resembles the neck of a giraffe. Perhaps I was one in a past life or am destined to be one in the next. What I really want to know is, why haven't some of you people told me about this? I am sure you have noticed and I am alittle annoyed that you haven't told me to buy more turtle necks!

Here is a day in the life of Taya. This is how she looks constantly. Dear Lord, please bless me that she will hurry and grow out of this stage. I have to fight her to change into something else every single time I go somewhere. She changes her "outfit" about 5-7 times a day. I guess this wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have to wash all the outfits she puts on.... Since the reason she changes

I just wanted to tell everyone Merry Christmas even though it is late, and Happy New Year a little early. I am sad to tell you that I do not have one picture of the kids on Christmas this year, I video taped everything but didn't take one photo. The kids were amazing this year! They were so thankful for all they received. Braydan was so thank full he hugged his underwear after he unwrapped it, he

I then decided to through in a load laundry into the washer since Tony was playing with the kids and kinda keeping them out of my hair. I took the clothes from the dryer and came into the living room so I could watch the football game while I folded a million pairs of

I have been trying for about 7 weeks to talk the boys into getting haircuts... They both refused and wanted to grow it really long like their Uncle Clay (thanks Clay). I have tried bribing them with treats, money, back tickles, and snuggles. To no avail could I get them to agree to get a hair cut. Finally Friday morning I had a bright Idea to ask them if they would cut their hair for my

Tony and Taya fell asleep watching some sci-fi show about an over sized alligator. I would like all to notice Taya's out fit. Every day after I get Taya's clothes down for her to get dressed she throws a fit and tells me it has to be something a princess would wear. Since it has been cold she doesn't get to wear very many dresses so now she has taken on this habit of wearing anything that will

Far from the Grizwalds but getting better. Upstairs treeKids treeThe kids have been begging us for a year for us to let them decorate their own tree. I broke down and bought another tree so that they could have their tree in the basement. I put up the tree and they took every tree ornament, ribbon and stuffed animal that I had in the Christmas box and put it on the tree. I thought that they did

I was in mopping the kitchen floor and Tony had asked what he could do to help me get the kids ready to go. I told him he could help them brush their teeth and comb there hair. I assumed that he knew I meant the boys when it came to the hair combing. After about ten minutes the boys came out looking pretty good, then about twenty minutes after that Taya came out looking like this. What is even

My mom had this great idea that we all take a cake decorating class. None of us are the most crafty people that you have ever met in your life, so it is actually quite ridiculous to watch! We made these cakes at our second class. Hopefully it will only get better from here, because if it gets worse it is going to be really embarrassing and there will be no more postings about cake decorating!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!Well we didn't take any pictures this year on Thanksgiving, i guess that we were having to much fun. This year we went to my moms for Thanksgiving and took Tony's little sister with us. The kids had a blast playing pool and arcades. But the highlight of the night I think would have been Taya singing karaoke. The girl loves the microphone! Tony and the boys went and played

I am finding that there are a lot of people who are changing their blogs to private. I dont completely understand this thinking and as a personal preference I will not. My peeve is that most of the people I have talked to who have changed theirs to private say that it is because of "bad bloggers manners" or because people are looking at their blog with out their knowledge. I find this very

I love birthdays and so I try to make a big deal out of celebrating each kids in there on special way. This year Braydan chose to invite a bunch of his friend over for a little party on Saturday that turned out to be not so little. Every day he would come home with someone else to invite and how do you tell them no. I dont have the heart to leave one of his friends out. I think he ended up with

Tony and Micah when out "Rhinoing" on Saturday. They ditched me and went and had some fun. No just kidding, it does Tony good to have guy time, and it does me good to have some mom time with out worrying about home work and stuff. I get a lot more done when I know Tony is happy and out of the way. HA HA. Anyway, these are some pictures of Tony climbing up a rocky hill. Thank you Micah for taking

Braydan felt the need to jump off the neighbors stairs. You may be thinking whats the big deal. The dang kid jumped from the ninth stair up and tried to touch the ceiling, when he landed the neighbor said he just started to scream. So after a few x-rays we found out that it was just sprang. He was not able to bear weight on it for about 3 days and took a lot of Ibuprofen and has learned that he

Me and Josi got bored one night and were messing with the kids hair. Taya enjoyed every minute, and well, as you can see Braydan did not appreciate the Alfalfa look!

Now that I have finished cleaning the toilet for the 7th time today, I felt the need to ask the question of why? I hope there is some one out there that can understand my frustration. For all of you with little boys out there I hope that yours are better than mine, and for those of you who have little ones that are to small to use the toilet..... GOOD LUCK! Why is it that they seem to never

We went to Parowan Saturday afternoon to chop some wood that we had taken to Tony's grandmas Joanne. When I was little one of my favorite things to do in the fall was go to my grandmas and play in the leaves. She would always have us rake them up and then she would let us play in them. So while we were there I raked up some leaves into a big pile and let the kids jump in them. I thought that

I love pumpkins and like to leave the uncarved ones on the porch until Thanksgiving. All of the ugly, homely pumpkins we had got at the pumkin patch had rotted before Halloween even came and we had to go buy more just to carve them. Since I couldn't leave them on the porch for the next couple of weeks we went out to the shooting range on Saturday and took them to use as targets. We went with our

After hours and hours of talking with the kids to decide what they wanted to be for Halloween, this is what they all ended up as. Braxtan was dead set on being some sort of skeleton. We bought a costume at walmart at the beginning of October but when we put it on to go to the school carnival it was broke. It was one of those costumes that pumps the blood through it. I took it back and bought him

Braydan seems to find it impossible to make a normal face in any picture I take of him! And yes Taya does have a swimming suit on. I don't know why but she wore it all day on Thursday under her clothes. No matter what I said to her she wouldn't take it off!The boys had a good time cleaning out the pumpkins. Taya being a girlie girl didn't like getting her hands slimy so I ended up doing most of

So we finally managed to go to the pumpkin patch this year. We took the kids to the Paragonah pumpkin patch again, continuing on a 5 year tradition. This was the best year of course 'cause Tony was able to come with us. Braydan found that every pumpkin was a great one, while Braxtan picked through a hundred of them before Tony convinced him that he had found the perfect one for him and the only

The boys went to a birthday party on Saturday and had a sleep over. I picked them up at about 10 and they were both so tired! They ate a bowl of cereal and sat on the couch with Tony to watch a cartoon and were instantly asleep. They must have stayed up way to late playing Guitar Hero!! Ahhh to be a kid again. Last Night Tony and I were sitting at the kitchen table trying to put together a model

BEWARE OF HORRIBLE VIDEO QUALITY! On Saturday we went up to Thunderbird Gardens with a group of friends to go repelling, the boys were really excited and wanted to give it a try. These are the videos of their first time. It was awesome to see them be so big. Braydan got pretty brave after a few tries on the small rock and wanted to try the big one. He did so amazing! Below are the

We spend all summer long trying to keep our roses pruned and pretty, then October comes along and what? Freezes all of our tomatoes and drops snow on our flowers. Any way I thought that these pictures were pretty!

Braydan and Taya went out to play in the snow and had a snow ball fight. Braydan was a really good sport and let Taya get a few good shots in. He is such an awesome brother. Every time Taya would hit him with one she would run from him in hysterics giggling harder than I think I have ever heard her giggle!

Tony and Braxtan would not come out side and play in the snow with us, instead they stayed down stairs and played football and boxing on the X-Box together. What a bunch of nintendo geeks and party poopers. I guess that it is to bad I got my tubes tied, I wont be able to create myself any new friends. Dang it! What was I thinking?

For all of the Twilight fans out there. I thought that this snowman Braydan and I made looked an awful like Edward Cullen.... I hope that you can see the resemblance.Notice the pale white skin, the amazing smile curling up towards his eyes that are in fact a beautiful caramel color. His skin is cold and hard but in this case not like stone it is more like.... well..... like ice. He has dagger

Last night I made a roast for dinner, which is one of the family favorites. Taya usually eats, like normal, only the meat. We all sat down to eat together but Taya would not eat. I faught with her until we were all done and I had the kitchen clean with the exception of her plate. I told that she wouldn't be able to have and ice cream if she didn't and put a bite on her fork.

Well I have finally started to waste even more of my day by blogging. Part of it is because it sounded fun and the other reason is that since the kids are finally done with all of their sports and other misc. things i seem to have a few extra hours on my hands in the afternoons. You can only go to the park so many days a week if you know what I mean. And since it has only taken me a week to

Happy 5th birthday Brax!So since I had surgery a few days before Braxtan's birthday we decided to let him have 2 party's. We had family and friends over for his actual birthday and then we let him pick 12 friends to take bowling. We all had a blast and are excited to see how he does being 5!

We went up to the cabing a few weeks ago and felt the need to go on a trail that we had never been on. We headed out with grandma and grandpa and ended up on an old logging trail that led us to this old cabin. I thought that is was pretty awesome so we stopped and took a few pictures of the kids and had a snack. We weren't sure if we had ended up on private property so we didn't stay long, but
