Hunting

2011-01-04T12:15:00.001-07:00

This year hunting we did not have much success deer or elk hunting. The weather turned off really bad so we ended up bringing the trailer home early. It is still a good time being with friends and family.

KD and Jared did go to South Dakota pheasant hunting and had a great time. They did not get any pictures.

Disneyland

2011-01-04T11:29:00.002-07:00

My sister Korie had meeting in Chicago and she invited all of us tag along. It was tons of fun. I don't know how many trips we made down the magnificent mile. We went to a cubs games.

2011-01-04T10:42:00.001-07:00

2010-09-02T10:23:00.002-06:00

My kids were so excited to start school this year. They are going to a new school this year. I cant believe how big they both are. Jared is in 6th grade, last year of grade school. Kaylee is in 2nd grade. I look at these two and I am getting so old. Will was so sad all day while they were gone he missed them so much. We are looking forward to a great year at Mapleton.

Camping at White River

2010-08-22T12:41:00.008-06:00

We went camping at White River with friends last week and had so much fun. We had a great time riding ATVs, riding horses, eating great food, and sharing stories around the campfire. Kaylee absolutely could not get enough of the horses and ponies. She is our little cowgirl. We actually got Matt and Janette to come along, and we are so glad they could come. It was a fun and relaxing time, and I even rode the horses. Its been a long time since I had been on a horse, and man was I sore. We had a great time with friends and look forward to doing that again.

San Francisco

2010-08-22T12:26:00.008-06:00

In July, K.D. had a meeting in San Francisco for a couple of days and he took me along with him. We stayed a resort at the bottom of the Golden Gate Bridge and It was beautiful. While K.D. played in a golf tournament one day, I went with some people from his company to tour some of the city. We went to the Pier, Fishermans Wharf, and Ghiradelli Square. Friday night we went to Wicked, and that was the highlight of the trip for me. I really loved it, It was amazing. It was so nice to get away for a couple of days and thanks to Janette and Mom for help with the kids.

4th of July Camping

2010-08-22T12:10:00.007-06:00

Our family celebrated the fouth of July camping this year. We love the mountains and spending time together riding ATVs, eating great food, and relaxing. The weather was very cold, and I about froze to death. The kids love playing with the cousins and making smores on the fire. We are a family that loves to shoot trap and we shot for hours in the evenings. I think we shot about 700 shotgun shells, I guess that was our version of fireworks. We love this great country we live in and are so thankful that we have the freedom to do the things we enjoy.

Twilight

2010-08-22T10:59:00.003-06:00

Yes me and my friends were crazy this year and went to the opening of Twilight. It was the midnight showing. It was lots of fun..

Art City Days

2010-08-22T10:48:00.005-06:00

Jared got invited to ride on the float for the 4-H in the art city days parade. I think it was the cutest float in the parade. We even got my dad to go watch the parade.
My dad plays in the art city day golf tournament every year and KD was his caddie and we all went up to watch him finish. He play really well the first day and the second day he blew it. That is pretty usually for him.

Lagoon

2010-08-15T22:15:00.006-06:00

While the boys were down hunting Kaylee and I went to Lagoon with Janille and Courtney. It was a fun day out with the girls. Kaylee was a dare devil she went on every ride.

Bear Hunt

2010-08-15T22:02:00.007-06:00

KD and Jared got to go on a bear hunt down to the San Juan. Jared had a blast on the boys only trip. They both thought it is was really neat to see the bear in the tree.

Its stock show time again...

2010-05-23T21:49:00.005-06:00

Yes its that time of year again. Jared showed another pig at the Utah State Junior Livestock show. Jared had a great time, he placed 4th over all out of 250+ kids. It was so exciting when he got picked to come back for star class. I don't think he could wipe the smile off of his face. We are really proud of Jared and all the hard work he put into his pig. It stood out from all the other pigs, Jared and KD had it looking so clean and shiny. Congrats on all the hard work Jared.

2010-05-02T23:08:00.003-06:00

This past month we had the opportunity to travel to Cozumel, Mexico with K.D.'s company. He earned the trip by making the Chair mans Honor Council, which is a few of the top sales representatives in the company. We were there for five days, and it poured rain most of the trip. The resort was beautiful, and the company was great. It was alot of fun meeting new people and making new friendships. We had so much fun shopping in town, and I definitely found some great deals. We took a jeep tour of the island one day, and loved seeing the sights. The food was surprisingly great(I was scared about that part) and we had so many great meals. While I went shopping with the girls one day, K.D. went with the guys golfing. The course was spectacular, but he wasn't so sure about the huge iguanas and ten foot crocodiles at the edge of the water hazards. The weather was the only downer of the trip, but we braved it and had a wonderful time. It was so nice to just get away from the grind of life for a while. Thanks so much to my mom and Janette for watching the kids. We couldn't dot without your help! Hopefully we can join the group again in the years to come.

Spring Break in Moab!!!

2010-05-02T19:08:00.002-06:00

In april we went to Moab for the second year in a row for Spring Break. We have grown to love the beauty of the scenery and have such a great time riding on the slickrock. We have an awesome group of people that we ride with and the group seems to get larger every year. My parents and their friends, and their kids and grankids all gather for the fun. We get to ride in some of the most beautiful and spectacular country you can find during the day, and then hang out in the evening with friends and have a great time. Jared is getting so good driving his ATV and thinks he is pretty cool now. This trip is one that we all look forward to so much every year, and we can't wait to go there again!

Cruise

2009-10-08T10:20:00.005-06:00

KD won a short weekend cruise with Fort Dodge. We left on friday and returned on monday. It was a pretty wild and crazy cruise. I think 90% of the people were college kids. We went Ensenada Mexico. It was nice getting to know more of the Walco people.

Lake Tahoe

2009-10-08T10:05:00.004-06:00

I tagged alonged to Lake Tahoe with KD. He had meetings. So while he was in meeting all day I was so lazy and it was so nice. I read Twilight, I have to say its the first time I have read these books. I think a read all of them with in two weeks and saw the movie. On friday KD only had meetings until noon so we got to drive around and check out Lake Tahoe, it is really pretty and it was just a nice little getaway to be lazy. I also got a massage and it was wonderful. I have to say I am so spoiled.

Summer 2009

2009-08-02T14:33:00.008-06:00

Oh my this summer has just flown bye. I cant believe its almost time for school to start. My computers have been broken alot of the time so I have not been able to blog (not to mention we are seriously never home!!). It has been a a really busy summer. First of all we went with my family in June to Yellowstone and Teton National Parks. It was so much fun, it was still pretty cold and rained almost every day. We did not see a lot of animals, but it was still a lot of fun. My favorite part I would have to say is the boat ride on Jenny Lake and we hiked up to the hidden falls, it was so pretty. My cousin Stacy and her family drove over from Rexburg for dinner one night and it was so nice to see them. Then over the 4th of July, we went up Scofield camping with my family and it was tons of fun. I loved watching the fireworks over the lake. Then KD had meetings in Texas the first part of July. He won a cruise for us in September to Mexico, and then a trip to Cozumel next spring for making the Chairmans Honor Council. Although he doesn't like me telling people, he also won the Dairy Salesman of the year for Walco which was a huge honor for him. So while he was there, I had a girls weekend in Vegas and it was awesome! We went to KÀ by Cirque du Soleil it was spectacular. I would love to take KD and see it. Most of the weekend we just layed by the pool and relaxed. On the 24th of July we went to Matt and Janette's house for a BBQ and water party, the kids had so much fun there. Matt is definately the biggest kid we think, although Jared and the kids ganged up on our brother in law Adam, and he got the worst of the drenching. Last week we went to the temple open house in Oquir Mountain with my family. Then later last week, Daniel, KD's little brother got married in Manti to Stephanie. Sorry I have combined everything for our entire summer into one blog. I have just thrown an assortment of pictures from the summer together in a slide show. Hopefully now I get my computers fixed and I can keep up on bloging. It never slows down around here. This week I am off to Lake Tahoe with KD, he has meetings but I am just going to relax with a book by the pool for several days. We have had an amazing summer, and Im sure the fun is going to just keep on going. I just hope I can continue to keep up!!

Stock Show time it must be Spring....

2009-05-13T20:28:00.004-06:00

A couple of weeks ago Jared got to show a hog at the Utah State Junior Livestock Show in Spanish Fork. He has been a member of mini 4H and showed at the local club shows, but this was his first big stockshow. He was so excited to do it, and he really had a good time the whole week. He was so proud of his blue ribbon that I think he showed it to every person that he came in contact with that day, even strangers. He was such a good helper to so many different people at the show, any many people commented to us at what a good kid we have. We are so proud of Jared and the good example he is to our family. Now we get to travel out to Vernal to the Uintah Basin stockshow the first week of June and do it all over again. Jared is very excited to show a pig again, and we are looking forward to making the trip out to watch him. We owe a big thanks to Dennis Boyer and all his service in helping the kids in the Springville 4H club, he is awesome and does a great job. Well I'm sure the next two weeks will just fly bye, but we will be looking forward to it.

Spring Break inMoab

2009-05-04T23:09:00.003-06:00

I can't believe how fast the month of April went by!! I realized I hadn't updated the blog in over a month. We have been so busy, it seems like we never slow down. We went to Moab for spring break to ride the atvs this year and can I say it was incredible! We hadn't ever been down there before, and I think we have found a place to add on to our favorite places to go list. We had so many people with us to make the trip even better. We had my parents, both of my sisters and their families, the Wilsons, the Taylors and their daughter Shauna and her family, Shaunas brother and sister in law and their family, and our great freinds the Noyes family. We stayed at an RV Park and rode right out of camp to some awesome trails. On the first day we went to Gemini Bridges and Bull Canyon, where the views were amazing. I am still wondering why we were walking out on those natural bridges that were 12 feet wide with a 200 foot drop off each side, yikes!! We rode the next two days on the Monitor and Merrimack trail and played in the sand a bit. We rode to both sides of Wipeout hill, but none of us were brave (or stupid) enough to ride down that. We were entertained one afternon for a couple of hours watching the motorcycles and Jeeps try to manuever it. The slickrock makes for some really cool riding. We got a chance to explore through Arches National Park in the truck one evening and the views were spectacular. We had so much fun on the trip that we stayed over an extra day and came home on Monday. Thanks again to Janette and Matt and Ann and Paul for watching Will, they are the greatest! We couldn't have gone and enjoyed the trip like we did without them. Well this was definately our first trip to Moab, but it won't be our last I can assure you. Great riding, and awesome friends and family made our spring break the best!!

The new member of our family!

2009-03-30T13:32:00.005-06:00

This is our new puppy.. She is so sweet and a really good puppy. She doe not have a name yet. If you know me at all I am terrible at names, our kids did not have names until left the hospital. So someday she will have a name. The kids love her very much. She is very playful and cute. I don't know what I have got my self into. I told KD I needed a puppy to watch over me while he was out of town and he said what is this tiny little 2 pound thing going to do if someone breaks in? Well I love her and so does he, he just wont admit it. Just like he loves my Van and he wont admit it. That's a guy for you. Well it will be an adventure for all of us.

My poor baby!!

2009-03-27T22:10:00.006-06:00

So my poor baby has to wear a helmet!! He has a flat head in the back, which resulted from the way I carried him during prenancy. Hopefully he will only have it on a couple of months. They had to make a mold of his head so they can make the helmet. The mold was a plaster cast of his head, and boy he sure wasn't happy about doing it. We will have the helmet in a couple of weeks. I will show him and his new helmet off when we get it!!

Nascar Weekend in Las Vegas

2009-03-05T22:58:00.006-07:00

Alot of sun, fun, and fast cars, it has to be Nascar weekend in Las Vegas! This is probably one of our favorite trips of the entire year. We love getting out of the cold and going down to play golf, enjoying a nice massage, playing a little blackjack, and of course watching the stars of Nascar. We have such an awesome group of family and friends, and some of K.D.'s customers that we get to hang out with. This year was especially awesome because we took Jared, my dad and Keith to their first race. Jareds favorite driver Matt Kenseth had an engine failure, and only made it a few laps. Dad bought a Kyle Busch hat just to help stir the pot a bit with the group of people around us (imagine that!!), and Kyle ended up winning the race!! Of course, as hard as I cheered, Dale Jr. still didn't win. Oh well, maybe next year things will go better. Jared loved seeing the 98 car crash and erupt into flames right in front of us, he thought that was so cool. The weather was really nice all weekend, and we enjoyed the time away so much. I owe a big thanks to my mom for watching the little ones so that I could go, she is the greatest! THANKS MOM!!!! Well,we are looking forward to next year again already.

Baby boy in the tub

2009-02-17T18:55:00.003-07:00

Will is such a fun baby. He is so happy all the time. He had shots today and has been so happy all day. He loves the tub, he swings his hips and its the funniest thing. I cant believe he 6 months old, time is flying.

Vegas

2009-02-17T18:23:00.007-07:00

This last weekend, which happened to be Valentine's, we decided to head to Vegas. KD had a big order to take to Mesquite, so we decided to make a weekend out of it. Our friends the Copes decided to come along. We had lots of fun, but I found Vegas way to busy for me, there were so many people. The first night we went to Excaliber and let the kids play some games. The next day we went to Bass Pro Shops and the kids thought that was really neat. I think KD enjoyed it more than anyone, he got a free golf lesson. Then we decided to drive out to Hoover Dam, and that was pretty cool. We had an early dinner because it was Valentines, and then went and hung out at our hotel. It was a pretty short trip, but was fun. I can't believe than in less than a week in half we will be back down there for Nascar.

Winter Break in Mesa Arizona

2009-01-19T20:05:00.004-07:00

K.D. and I decided we could all use a little mental health break since the kids had a couple of days off of school. Mom and dad are spending the winter down in Mesa and always bragging about the warm weather and sunshine, so we thought we had better head on down to see what it was all about. What a change it was!! After an 11 hour drive Wednesday night, we made it to Mesa at 2am. KD and dad got to golf a couple of times, and of course mom and I hit the outlet malls. The kids got to go swimming in the heated pool a couple of times, and we went to Bass Pro Shops to look around. And then mom introduced us to the Swap Meet. It was crazy, it's like a big collection of booths like you would find at the fair or some boutique. The only difference is, that it was ENORMOUS! We actually went three days in a row(Yes, we are nuts), and I'm not sure we still saw all that they had. I had a great time haggling on purses with an Iranian guy and if you know me, you know my love for purses. Needless to say, I came home with three new ones, and my husband is still shaking his head and cant even understand that. Oh well, it was a real blast. Just the 75 degree days and picking oranges and lemons off of the trees seemed like the perfect medicine for the Utah winter blues. Thanks so much to mom and dad for graciously hosting us and putting up with us, they are awesome! Well, we are home now, back to reality (14 degrees when we pulled into home), and we will have to brave out the next few weeks of winter. In just 6 short weeks, Nascar will be here and we can get down to enjoy the sunshine in Vegas. It is quite honestly one of our favorite trips of the entire year, and we can hardly wait!!

Jared's Birthday

2009-01-08T16:57:00.006-07:00

I can't believe that Jared is 10. He is getting so big. I don't know what we would do with out him, he is such a good kid and a great helper. I love him so much and I am so lucky that he knows what is right and stands for what he believes in.

We had such a good time on his birthday we went to Tepanyaki to eat, Jared and Kaylee thought it was awesome. Then we came home Matt, Janette and Daniel came to see Jared. Matt and Janette brought Jared back a shirt from Hawaii and Kaylee a dress. WE gave Jared guitar hero for the wii and he had a blast playing it. I think Matt had lots of fun playing too. I think it was happy birthday for Jared. Daniel spoiled Jared and gave him his old x-box, Jared thought that was way cool.

Tuacahn "Christmas in the Canyon"

2008-12-15T20:27:00.008-07:00

Last week we went down to Mesquite with my parents, my sister Tiffany and her family, and our friends from Logan. We had tickets for the Christmas concert at Tuacahn and enjoyed watching Peter Brienholt and Ryan Schupe and the Rubberband. It was pretty cold. but we had a great time and the concert was awesome. We had Will bundled up, and he handled it all pretty well. The rest of the weekend we just relaxed for the most part. The guys went golfing and shooting, and Natalie and I went to St. George to do a little Christmas shopping. And of course, I had to play a few hands of blackjack (Imagine that), but my luck wasn't too good this trip! It was a quick trip, but one that we all enjoyed alot. We store our trailer down in Mesquite for the winter until nascar weekend, so we got that job handled too. Now winter can officially start for us I guess.

Walco Pheasant Hunt!!

2008-11-30T22:02:00.007-07:00

Last week K.D. and his counterparts from the Logan store held a Pheasant hunt for some Walco customers. They had about 15 customers attend and hunted at the Four Mile Hunting Club in Nephi. The night before we had dinner at Ruby River and then stayed in Provo. I went along to help out and take some pictures. The weather was gorgeous and everyone had a great time hunting. The group shot about 60 pheasants and 15 chuckars. My dad and Jared came down for the afternoon to shoot birds that the group hadn't shot after most everyone had left after lunch. We all had such a good time. Hanna did a great job pointing out the birds and worked her little tail off all day.

Happy Birthday Kaylee

2008-11-30T21:04:00.004-07:00

So I am a little slow posting Kaylee's birthday. She had a great day. After school we went to build of bear and she got a Hannah Montana bear and then we went to Sizzler for dinner. I can't believe she is 6. She is such a sweet little girl and brings so much joy to our lives. We love her so much. Happy birthday my sweet Kaylee-bug.

Busy

2008-11-25T09:58:00.007-07:00

All I have to say is we are very busy at our house. We are doing a few improvements on our house, which I did not know that it was going to be so much work. I have hated the floor I have had in my kitchen since we moved in. I finally talked K.D. into letting me get hardwood (thanks to Camille). So we decided to paint the entry, which I have wanted to do forever and did not think that would ever get done. Well my wonderful mom and dad helped, it would not have gotten done if is was not for them. It was quite a task but it is done and looks wonderful. My dad has done so much, he put a new shower door on my tub and it looks great. I am getting tile in all my bathrooms. I have a few picture's. I will have more when its all done. I am so excited. I owe so much to my mom and dad for all the work they have done, I don't think it would of got done with out there help. I all so want to thank K.D. for his help and also for putting up with me for all the money I am spending and not complaining to much.

If you notice who is up high painting. Thanks Dad!!! If you know me at all you know I am scared of heights and he was making me way nervous up there and kept telling him don't fall and he and would say way would I want to do that.

Pheasant hunting and much more

2008-11-08T21:39:00.006-07:00

I think when we do something, it ends up being 10 things. This morning the guys got up early and went pheasant hunting, around 11:30 K.D. had to go to work for a while. After that he came and got us and we went and moved the horses. when that was done,we went down to the farm and seperated calves to sell. While we were doing that, grammy Ann and Kaylee bottle fed a calf. Matt and Jared rode the four wheeler around shooting tweety birds. We had to take water to the horses, and then we pheasant hunted in that last few minutes before dark. It was a very busy day, but we got a lot accomplished!!!

Deer Hunting 2008

2008-10-30T21:21:00.007-06:00

Our camp!!

This is the group of us that went deer hunting.

Heading home. What a long haul!!

We had a really good time deer hunting!! No one shot a deer. Kasey shot at a big one but missed, it was about a 700yd shot(really far). It was fun to go camping with family and friends.

Me, K.D., Phil and Marci rode our four wheelers over to Daniel's Summit Lodge to have dinner. This picture was taken up on top of the mountain looking down to strawberry reservoir. Our faces look black from the dirt. It was a fun ride. On the way back we saw a black bear run across the road in front of us.

Now I tag Janette,Camille and Katie

Spoiled!!

2008-10-20T12:56:00.005-06:00

To go along with the post before this one, dad had taken the 55 gal drum up there for extra water for the trailers so the girls could all shower while we were up there. I have to say while we are camping I am really spoiled I have it all, I have a nice trailer, that has a really nice bed, a good heater, a/c, HOT WATER, satellite TV. I have to say that K.D. has spoiled me!! I really don't think that most people consider what we do as camping. I am so grateful to have a husband that puts up with me and spoils me the way he does. I know if it was him he would be just fine in a tent. We enjoy camping so much together and it is fun that my mom and dad have a trailer and my sister Tiffany and her family just bought one. Tiffany has been a good sport a lot longer than I was, they go camping quite a bit and it has always been in a tent. No one shot a deer this weekend but we still had a lot of fun camping. We still have next weekend!!!

That Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-10-20T12:36:00.003-06:00

We were up deer hunting this weekend and heading up a pretty rough road. We were following my dad and all of the sudden everyone jumped out of my dad's truck really fast, our first thought was they saw deer and we are looking all around and could not see any and so we jumped out and saw the back window in my dads truck was broke out. He had a 55 gal drum of water in the back and he hit a big bump and it hit the window and broke most of the window out. My nephew was in the truck with my dad and mom and he said I was proud of papa he did not even say a bad word!!

I had to laugh, Will was laying on my bed a sleep and I was busy doing things and I came in to check on him and Jared had this bear laying by him. I asked Jared why he put the bear by him and he said that he looked cute with the bear so I had to take a picture.

Camping and Gathering Cows

2008-09-30T22:45:00.009-06:00

This last weekend we went up camping to find a spot to go deer hunting. It is K.D.'s first year ever that he has had a deer tag. So we got our spot all picked out and left one of the trailers up there to save our spot. It was a really busy weekend, Saturday morning we got up early and headed over to Hobble Creek to help gather cows. We got them all gathered and helped load two loads and then headed back over to Sheep Creek to our camp. That afternoon we went on a four wheeler ride with my sister Korie and her family. It was really pretty up there seeing all the bright colored leaves. We could not have asked for better weather it was perfect all weekend. We have got a busy next month with the deer hunt. Jared is so excited to go he says he is going to hike all over and find a great big buck, we will see how far he makes it, (I think he is a really big talker, we will see how far he hikes). Over all it was a good weekend but really busy.

My funny boy Jared

2008-09-25T21:43:00.005-06:00

I went into Jared's room the other night around 10pm and he was sound asleep and I saw he clothes laying out on his floor like this. This is so Jared always ready for the next day. He makes me laugh. What a KID!

Will and Sam

2008-09-25T21:27:00.008-06:00

My cousin Jill just adopted a new baby boy Sam. What a little cutie Sam is, but he is so tiny next to Will. I thought Will was still so little, but compared to Sam he is a giant. It was so fun to see Jill and Tim with their new baby. They are so blessed to have him. He is only a month younger than Will but he started out so small. Will was never that small.

Family

2008-09-19T09:55:00.006-06:00

I am so grateful to have such a great family.

We had a party up to Nana and Papa's on Sunday. It was fun to have all the cousins together, they had tons of fun playing. If you notice Kaylee is the only granddaughter. There are 9 grandsons and Kaylee. She has lots of boys to watch over her and she loves it. They are all such great kids and love being at Nana and Papa's house, its way to much fun.

Yeah Kaylee

2008-09-18T21:52:00.003-06:00

Kaylee finally learned how to ride a bike. K.D. has worked with her a few times this summer when he has had time. Sunday we were up and Nana and Papa's house and Cooper had his little bike there and Kaylee wanted to try. She is still a little nervous about it, but I think she knows she can do it. Yeah, good job Kaylee!

WIll 6 weeks old

2008-09-08T15:17:00.005-06:00

I can't believe Will is 6 weeks old today. He is such a sweet baby and we love him so much. Time is going by way too fast, I wish they could stay this size forever. We weighed him on friday and he was 9lbs.

Walking

2008-09-07T21:35:00.008-06:00

K .D and I try walking every night. We put the kids in bed and just walk around our block with the stroller. It is our time to talk about life and what is going on. Its nice to be with each other, but tonight Jared and Kaylee said that its unfair that we go every night with out them, so we decided to let them walk with us. It was fun to walk together as a family. We only let them go around once with us cause I think it took twice as long.

Labor Day 08

2008-09-01T20:49:00.013-06:00

This past weekend we went camping at one of our favorite places, Palisades State Park in Sterling, Utah. It is so much fun and there is so much to do. We had a fun group of friends along. There was us, Keith and Leslee Wilson, Bob and Vicki Taylor, Nana and Papa, and Phil and Marci Simons and their kids. The guys got up early at 6 am and went golfing on Friday and Saturday, then went on a four wheeler ride afterwards on both days. The first day Will and I met them up at six mile pond and Jared and Kaylee got to fishing and they caught lots of fish. As soon as they would throw there poles out there would be a fish on. Jared rode is four wheeler up the mountain, and then they put it in the back of the truck so he could ride with dad on the way back. (he was a little slow on the way up). The second day Bob rented a canoe and he and Jared spent most of the morning out on the canoe while the other guys played golf (Bob is not a golfer). When they went on a four wheeler ride, Jared rode with Bob, and then later Bob rode on the back and let Jared drive his four wheeler and Jared thought he was on top of the world. The kids had so much fun riding bikes around the campground, but they really loved going to the lake and catchings toads. They must have caught a hundred of them (of course Jared brought them all home). It was nice being with great friends having lots of fun.

Playing in Mesquite

2008-08-24T21:40:00.003-06:00

We just got back from a quick trip to Mesquite, Nevada for the weekend. K.D. and Dad wen't to use up a golf package that we bought at the 4H banquet in the spring. They played Saturday morning at the Palms Golf Course, and at the Casablanca Course Sunday morning. Mom and I got to enjoy a relaxing massage on Saturday after a fun afternoon at the pool with the kids. The masaage was the best part of the trip for the ladies by far. Boy was it hot down there !! Saturday night we drove the gocarts at the Oasis, and Jared is FINALLY tall enough to drive them himself (he thinks he is nascar ready of course). K.D. and Kaylee let him get passed them the first lap so that they could bump him around a little, and they could never catch him the rest of the race. He took to driving race cars like a fish to water, and now we may be in trouble. And of course, we had to take Jared to his favorite place to eat, the buffet for ribs. Will was really good, and really handled the trip well. We all had a great time, and had an action packed weekend filled with fun.

Will

2008-08-19T20:27:00.005-06:00

I just wanted to put some new pictures of Will on the blog and show how big he is getting. I cant believe he is 3 weeks old.

Going to meet the Teachers

2008-08-19T20:15:00.007-06:00

Today we went and got to meet Jared and Kaylee's teachers. They were very excited to see their class rooms. Jared is not ready to go back to school, he says he needs more summer. Kaylee is very excited to start kindergarten.

On top of the world

2008-08-18T22:16:00.007-06:00

This is a photo taken last fall. We were up strawberry camping and four wheeling. The background in this picture is very pretty. It really looks like we on top of the world.

Kaylee's Perm

2008-08-15T19:38:00.010-06:00

Today Kaylee and I went and had our hair done. She was so excited to get a perm!!! She was so good and sat so still while the girl rolled he hair in curlers. It was so much fun spending the day with just Kaylee and myself. She is already to start kindergarten and so excited.

Finally back in our GROOVE

2008-08-10T19:33:00.009-06:00

We went up White River four wheeling and shooting Saturday morning. We had lots of fun. Its so beautiful and green up there with tons of trails to ride. You could literally ride for a week straight and not get to cover all of the trails. We went up planning on just spending the day, and then it starting raining like crazy and so we decided to stay over night with Nana and Papa in their trailer. (KD said it would have been better to have had our trailer, but we were glad to have a place to sleep). The kids had tons of fun riding Jared's four wheeler. We saw quite a few deer as we took a late evening ride after the rainstorm. Sunday morning K.D. and Jared and went on a ride with Papa and Nana and the Wilsons over to Avintaquin Canyon. We tried to get close to the 640 acre Jones Homestead that Grandpa Paul's family owns. It was so pleasant and beautiful to ride after the fresh rainfall. KD enjoyed shooting and getting his gun ready for the deer hunt. It was so nice to be back to camping and riding again and enjoying the outdoors. Our summer camping season has finally begun!!

Jared first ride on his four wheeler

2008-08-01T23:17:00.003-06:00

Jared had his first trail ride on his four wheeler he got for Christmas. We went down to mesquite over spring break and rode and Jared is an awesome little rider. He rode a long ways until he hit a big rock in the middle of the trail and bent the guard under his four wheeler and could no longer ride it, we had to put his four wheeler in the back of Nana and Papa's Rhino and take it back to the truck. He loved riding it and had a fun day until he hit the rock!!!

2008-07-26T09:52:00.004-06:00

We are the Roach Family, K.D., Megan, Jared, Kaylee and soon to be one more!!! We have long been waiting for the birth of our new baby its been a long wait I have been on bed rest for 14 long weeks and in the hospital over a week and 1/2. Everyone has been great. We have such a great little family, first we have Jared and he is 9 and going in to 4th grade (oh my how time fly's). Jared keeps everyone laughing and smiling he always has something funny to say. He is always right in the middle and never misses a word anyone says. Kaylee is 5 and she is our little princess. She never stops until the time she gets up until she crashes at night. She loves a purse and a stuff animal in a dress (no dolls get that). K.D. is always on the go he never slows down. He loves nascar that's what you will find him doing on Sunday afternoon that's his time to sit and enjoy. We go to Las Vegas every year to the Nascar Race and it is a blast we have such a great group of people we go with and have lots of fun. We also enjoy camping and four wheeling. Have not got to do that this summer but that will come.
