Dinner and the Lights!

2011-12-08T12:43:00.011-07:00

Last night we had dinner and saw the lights with our friends! We had a blast! We also got to see the Deseret Book window and get another cookie! Besides Grant being freezing cold and wanting to go home, he was a good sport. Lincoln, on the other hand, had the time of his life and was full of energy! (he is feeding me kix's right now as I type this. Hehe) Hope to spend more time with you guys soon!

The Elves Came!!

2011-12-05T14:10:00.000-07:00

We put our wooden shoes out tonight and the ELVES CAME!!!! We are so lucky! Thank you elves!! {heart}

4th of July

2011-07-10T10:51:00.015-06:00

Happy 4th of July! We went down to the Provo parade, as is tradition, and also got to see Jonathan, Andrea, and lil' Danny in the parade. He won 1st place in the Provo Baby Contest!! He's so cute! Thanks Fred for letting us take a picture of you with the kids in your uniform. ;) I got baby Johnny to smile at me and I got to see the bagpipers! That evening we watched all the aerial fireworks that the neighbors bought. They were really awesome! We have such great neighbors.

Fireworks!

2011-07-03T16:17:00.010-06:00

We went down to Provo to watch the Stadium of Fire fireworks. We went to a secret spot that I used to go to when I was younger. It's right by the MTC. But that's all I'm going to say because shhhh it's a secret. It was just us and my brother Jonathan's family. We had a good time! As you can see. :)

Girls Camp!

2011-07-03T15:35:00.015-06:00

I had the opportunity to go to girls camp this year on a Stake level. It was absolutely gorgeous!! We stayed at the Heber Valley Camp. I highly recommend going there if you can.

Rocha Family Reunion

2011-07-03T15:03:00.014-06:00

Since I had Girls camp, I was only able to come to the Rocha reunion for a couple of days. And boy was it fun. I have some cool cousins! It was as if we had already known each other for a long time. Some good times were had!

Sanderson Family Reunion

2011-07-03T14:29:00.013-06:00

I'm glad that I was able to come by the reunion. It was really fun to hear stories about my Grandma's family. I only wish I could have gotten to know everyone better. I love family.

HaPpY bIrThDaY LInCoLn!!

2011-06-05T17:25:00.017-06:00

June 3 was Lincoln's Birthday. I can't believe how fast he is growing. During the day we went to the reservoir so he could try out his new fishing pole that Grant got him. Then he wanted to camp out in the back yard and roast hot dogs and marshmallows. So.. that's what we did! :)

Lincoln, thank you for choosing to come to our family. You bring me so much joy! I am so proud of you and who you are becoming. I love you. ~Mom

Memorial Day

2011-05-30T16:43:00.004-06:00

It was supposed to be rainy and cold but it ended up being beautiful!! We went to Smashburgers for lunch and had a pine cone fight too, but I forgot to take pictures. :)

Scrap-Away!!

2011-04-12T22:32:00.012-06:00

I cannot believe how much fun I had this last weekend. It was more than I could have ever imagined. I know that sounds crazy but it really was. My sister, Melinda and I, pack up her car and drove to Heber. We really did take a lot of stuff! We could only go 40 mph when we were going up hill.

I wish you could all have seen this cabin that we stayed in. It was absolutely gorgeous! I would love to build something like that one day.

I loved being around all of the other woman who came. They are all very talented, creative, and super funny. We had lots of laughs. One night Melinda and I stayed up all night! Well, Melinda did. I finally went to bed at 7 am. I tried to make it. :) But before I did I took a bath in a claw tub. Super cool!

Oh! and the food....the food. It was amazing! Marci, who invited us up, cooked our meals for us and they were all so good. You might get hungry looking at this post. So beware! :)

Thank you so much Melinda for inviting me to come with you. I had so much fun spending time with you.. Pop, goes my heart!

Frumpa Doob

2011-03-30T15:34:00.003-06:00

Frumpa Doob is Lincoln's nickname.. I know, you probably have a weird look on your face. I'll have to explain how it became that later. For this post, I found him on Grants bed between two warm piles of clothes from the dryer. Ha ha

Soccer

2011-03-30T14:24:00.005-06:00

Yesterday we took Lincoln to his first soccer practice. He had so much fun and is quite a natural. Well, I think all sports will come natural to him. He is so strong that when he was asked to kick the ball he barely tapped it with his foot and it flew across to where it was supposed to go! Way to go Lincoln!!

Phil's Recital

2010-12-06T08:53:00.005-07:00

On Saturday we went to Phil's recital. Our good friends Peter and Isa came and Peter played the guitar for Phil. They both did amazing ! Afterwards we went to dinner where Grant just tucked out at the end. Thank you Mom, Dad, and Melinda for coming and Jon Farrington for your support! It meant so much...just don't look so shy. ;)

Mario Playing Mario

2010-12-06T08:46:00.002-07:00

'It's a me! I'm a Mario!!'

Grant asked me if he could play Nintendo. I said yes and then about five minutes later he came out of his room dressed as Mario! Pha ha, he is so funny.

The Cutting Down of the Tree

2010-12-06T08:20:00.012-07:00

Once upon a time there was a family who decided to drive through the sea of swirly twirly gumdrops. Then they walked through the candy cane forest. When the candy canes parted the family saw the most beautiful sight, the perfect Christmas tree. So the exuberant little family danced a whimsical jig around the tree and cut it down with their magical muscle powers. They tied the tree to their carriage and off they went singing songs of joy and praise as they set off for their journey back home! But what ho? They got stuck in the snow? Not to worry, the angelic Mother and stripling Father unburied the mighty carriage out 9 times. Even though the children started to say good bye to their friends they thought would never see again and came to the realization that this was their last day on earth, the Mother and Father new that this was only part of their adventure. At last the carriage became free and they made it home to their little cottage in the west.

Grant

2010-11-30T09:48:00.002-07:00

I love it when he does this...

Manicure

2010-11-30T09:33:00.002-07:00

While Melissa and I were working on the luge, the kids got cold and went inside to play. Lanie, decided to give everyone a manicure and paint their nails. Lincoln loves them!

Decorating the Christmas Tree's

2010-11-30T09:18:00.004-07:00

They boys were really excited to decorate their Christmas tree's this year. Grant's tree is super awesome and Lincoln loves to put the ornaments on and off over and over again. They fall asleep with sugar plums and candy canes in their cute little heads now. :)

Swim Goggles!

2010-11-30T09:08:00.003-07:00

We made a little slide with the dirt hill in our front yard. Don't worry, this is nothing compared to the master luge run we are working on in the back yard. Stay tuned....

In the Mornings

2010-11-30T08:59:00.002-07:00

So fun to watch the boys come out of their rooms in the morning when they smell breakfast. They are smiling, yawning, and stretching.

First Big Snow Fall

2010-11-30T08:00:00.002-07:00

The night we had our first big snow, Lincoln and I went out and built a snowman! He also tried to ride his bike but soon found a little problem. It was nice bonding with him so late at night. He is my little night owl... for the time being. :)

Halloween

2010-10-31T09:59:00.000-06:00

The boys were Mario this year, as you can see. Phil was a toilet and I was Rapunzel. :) It was a rainy Halloween so the Trunk or Treat was inside the church this year. After the Trunk or Treat it had stopped raining so we hit a few houses on our street. Oh, and yes that is Lincoln asleep from our house to the church!

Halloween Decorations

2010-10-31T09:28:00.003-06:00

Last year I must have forgot to take pictures and upload them because I couldn't find them anywhere. I had to come up with new ideas on how to decorate. So I'm am posting these pictures now so I don't have to remember next year!

Enjoy!

Carving Pumpkins Take 2!

2010-10-28T09:52:00.000-06:00

Since we carved pumpkins earlier in the month, we carved some more. Then boys created their design this time. I love Grant's creation!

Character Day

2010-10-24T14:10:00.000-06:00

Grant dressed up as a bee for Character day at school and took the book "The Honeybee and the Robber" It is such a cute book. It's a pop up. I love pop up's! Thanks for letting us borrow it Melinda! And thanks Mom for letting us borrow the bee costume!

Grandma's Halloween Party!

2010-10-24T10:00:00.007-06:00

I just don't know how my mom does it all! Just when I think she had the best party, she out does herself! We has so much fun we can even describe in words. So we will try to show you in pictures. Lots and lots of pictures.

Thanks Grandma for the BEST Halloween Party!! Until next year that is when you out do yourself again!

Love, Grant and Lincoln

Grandma's Halloween Party! {Cont.}

2010-10-24T09:55:00.001-06:00

Lincoln's Play Set

2010-10-23T14:28:00.000-06:00

Look what just got delivered across the street! Lincoln's new play set! Or about 20 loads of dirt. This beats the lousy 1 pile of dirt that is in our front yard.

Flowers

2010-10-23T14:24:00.000-06:00

Thought I would say goodbye to my amazing flowers before the frost comes. I think I finally have my soil in the right condition because they grew so well this year.

Sneaking

2010-10-10T18:00:00.000-06:00

I heard a noise coming from Lincoln's room after I put him to bed. He was trying to be sneaky and read some books with his light spinner. Cute boy!

Charms

2010-10-09T18:00:00.002-06:00

Grant made this charm that stays on his door knob at all times. It is there to let me know if I made him cry. If you see Grant then everything is ok. If you see the back and no Grant, then he is in his room crying... because of me.

The Car Accident

2010-10-09T12:36:00.003-06:00

Lincoln and I were pulling forward out of a parking stall and had just about made it all the way out when a white car came right around the corner and ran right into us! Scared Lincoln to death. He was crying so loud and hard. We are just fine though. No need to worry. It just really really stinks. We have my Honda but the seat-belts in the back don't work so we'll have to get a rental to take the kids to school. He must have been going fast around that corner to put that big of a dent in our car. Gee's..

The Haunted House

2010-10-08T18:00:00.002-06:00

My mom gave us the old doll house that my sister and I used to play with. We painted the roof black and inked it to look haunted... just needs a few paper bats flying above and spiders in spiderwebs. Lincoln LOVES to play with it. Thanks mom!

Caterpillars, Belts, and Belly Caves

2010-10-07T18:00:00.001-06:00

Lincoln...he is so funny. He's the family clown. I came out of my room and there he was, just sport'n a belt. It must have been some kind of strengthening belt with powers. He is also obsessed with Caterpillars and made one out of his fruit snacks.
