Skirts

Wow! Has it been awhile or what! I almost forgot what my password was to log in. Well I really needed to do this along time ago but have had a much bigger project going on. For those of you who did not know I started sewing these skirts for Texie and it has turned into quite the project. They look darling with leggings under them. I sold them at the Novemberfest and had such a huge turn out for people who want them. I promised everyone I would put them on my blog for those who want them. I only have 1 baby and 1 large and a few small and med left over. So here they are and if you are interested in on just let me know.

Baby $15.00 (0months-12months)

Small $20.00 (2yrs-4yrs.)

Med. $25.00 (5yrs-10 yrs)

Large $30.00 (11 yrs and up)

All the skirts come with the flower safety pinned on so you can remove to wash.

Thanks again for everyone who helped in getting ready for the Novemberfest. I could not have done it without all of you! Also thanks to all who helped in my booth those days you guys are awesome!!!

New Addition!!

Well Cami had her baby on March 12, 2009. His name is Braxton and he is such a cute little thing. He has alot of dark hair and pretty curly in the back. I was having a hard time not being able to see him so I threw the kids in the car and away we went. The kids were so excited to finally see the big football player as Tyker would say. He just knew that baby braxton would come out and be a big football player to play with. It is always fun having a new baby in the family. I am glad we got a chance to see him and see Bailey be the good old blonde mommy with him. Congratulations Hess family and we all love you and miss you soo much!!!

Beaver Mountain

Well I finally took my kids skiing the other day! I have not been skiing for about 5 yrs so it was quite the adventure. Texie had been 1 time and Taydem only wanted to ride the lift up and have misty carry him down. Aunt Misty, kiah and bug have been wondering when I was going to take them. We had such a good time and the kids loved it started out a little shaky and I was thinking we were going to be in the lodge by 11:00 a.m. We went in and ate lunch and then headed back out for some more. By the afternoon they were both on their own and finally enjoying it! They are both wondering when we are going again!!

Happy Birthday Taydem!!

On Saturday it was Taydem's birthday!! He is six going on 26. His day started out with his last basketball game. He has improved so much since when he started. I am so sad that the season is over because he was just starting to feel comfortable out there and was really getting to be quite the ball player. That is all he does around the house is shoot hoops. He can turn anything into a hoop and a ball. We then went cosmic bowling at the fun park. Aunt Nancy came up and Uncle Jason, aunt Misty and Bug came along as well. Later that night everyone came over for cake and Ice Cream. I think all in all he had a great day and we love him so much!! Thanks to everyone who came and made Taydems birthday a fun day!!

Happy Birthday Taydem!!

All blogged out!!

Well I need to apologize for not posting anything on my blog for a long time. Around the holidays things are so busy and there is just not enough time to get on the computer and blog. I have not even turned the computer on for a couple of months. Our family had a great holiday season and we hope you had one as well. We did some fun family activities and some not so fun activities. We went sledding, saw Christmas lights, played games, and then the not so fun thing, helped my sister move to Cedar City. It is the first of my family to move out of Cache Valley. I cried for a few days and then laughed for a few days. It was hard for my kids since they have been so close to Cami and Ryan. Tyker calls uncle ryan his COACH!! Ryan was always so good to put on his jersey and pretend he was Tyker's coach. We are so happy for them to finally be done with school and for ryan's new job but we miss them really bad to. They are really liking Cedar City and have a darling house down there. My aunt Nancy and I made the trip down with them to help them unload boxes and get settled in. My kids can't wait to go down and see there house and to have a little warmer temps than have been in Logan lately. We may go down on Feb 14 because Takesha is playing in a soccer tournament to we could watch her and visit Cami at the same time!!
Taydem is playing basketball and has a very good coach who has taught him allot about the game. He is enjoying playing even though he is the youngest one on the team. He can throw that ball up there and has scored a couple of points each game!! Texie is still dancing and she continues to amaze me how flexible and talented she is at dance. She has a few competitions coming up in the next couple of months she will be doing and we look forward to watching her shake her booty!! Then there is Tyker... that kid amazes me each day. He is so full of energy and is always wanting someone to play hoops with him. We attended the Aggie game last week and went to get some ice cream at Cold Stone. We were walking out the door and we turned around and Tyker had fallen and cut his upper lip wide open. We ended up in the E.R that night getting stitches in his lip. He was pretty good through the whole thing and now has them out and is healing right up. Well there is the run down of some of the things that are going on with our family. Again I apologize for not doing better at keeping the blog updated.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!!!

Well Christmas is in 15 days and we have only had a little bit of snow, but with the snow we have received the kids were able to build a little snowman and do a little bit of shoveling. They were so excited to put their boots on and go out. Taydem and Tyker shoveled off the basketball court and helped build the snowman. We are suppose to get more snow this weekend so hopefully we will have a white Christmas!

Thanksgiving Weekend!!

Wow we had such a great weekend spending time with family and friends. We had Thanksgiving dinner at my sister Misty's. It was such a great time and Jason's family was all their too. They are great people and fun to be around. The kids had a great time playing football and basketball outside. Then on Friday Misty and I hit the sales at 4:45 a.m. I am sure it was not as early as some of you crazy bats went but there was not to many things that I couldn't live without this year and we got what we went for and that is all that matters!! Then we my aunt Nancy came up and all the gals went to the Novemberfest. We have been going to that for my whole entire life since my aunt Nina runs the show there. Then we all went out to eat at Fredrico's then back home to our house for some good old games of "NUTS" and Dominoes. Our family has not played the card game "NUTS" for a long time but is a family tradition card game. On Saturday Texie did her first dance performance for this year she did such an amazing job and is such a great dancer. We love going to watch her and hopes she keeps it up!! There is a wrap up of the weekend. I love this time of year and look forward to many more card and domino games and spending time with family and friends!!

Big Football Guy

Lately Tyker has been such a character that I don't even know what to do sometimes. He wants to wear his football shirt or his aggie basketball jersey with aggie shorts all the stinking time. He puts on taydems Build a Bear helmet and wears it around the house all day!! He always wants to play football or basketball whatever he can get his brother to play with him that day. We have taken him and Taydem to play basketball at the rec-center while texie is at dance. so now he is constantly wanting me to drop him off to play basketball with the big guys. Mom me have practice with the big guys come drop me off. He has such and imagination that my other kids never really had. We are also potty training, so far he is doing very well. We have gone 4 days with no accident. I am not getting my hopes up because kids seem to do really well at first and then not so well for a minute so we are keeping our fingers crossed. I can't wait till I don't have to buy diapers anymore let alone change any!!!

Halloween 2008

For Halloween this year Texie decided she wanted to be a Oompa Loompa on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory move. I decided to get busy making the costume the best that I could. I think all in all it turned out pretty cute!!! Taydem and Tyker wanted to be skeletons. We went trick or treating at my moms house with the family and aunt Nancy. It is always exciting when aunt Nancy is around!!

Carving Pumpkins

On friday the kids didn't have school and they couldn't wait to carve their pumkins!!!

This is their finished product!!!

Family Pictures

A couple weeks ago my sister took some pictures of our family at Mack Park in Smithfield. Those of you that have not been their should go because it is an awesome place to take pictures. The kids did a great job at making sure they were ready when the wild child Tyker was actually looking where he needed to look at the right time. I think all in all they turned out very cute and thanks Cami for taking the pictures.

Labor Day Weekend

This weekend we had a couple of things planned. My family went to Snow Basin to ride the gondola up the mountain and hike around. The kids were so excited however Tyker did not know what to think when we hopped on the lift. It comes around really slow for you to get on and then it takes of pretty fast. His eyes were as big as dollars. It is so gorgeous up there and I would recommend anyone who hasn't gone up to do so. On the way back down there is this water hole where a mama moose and her baby like to hang out. We saw them laying there on our way down so that was fun for the kids. Then ryan and his friends decided they wanted to go camping. It was labor day and all so you all know that finding a spot to camp would be pretty tricky, we ended up at Newton Dam!! Yeah not my idea of camping but I went with the flow and had Ryan get all the stuff ready while I was at Snow Basin. When we got home we headed for the dam. Dave and Heather borrowed Jaren and Tony's trailer and they brought Tony's parents motor home or should I say the Hilton. They warned us it was big but we didn't realize it was going to be that big. We had a great time and thanks to the Hollingsworths and Barson's for inviting us, we need to do it again!!

Back To School!!

Well summer is officially over for us. School started yesterday and Texie was so excited she could hardly sleep. Her teacher is Mrs. Bennet. Texie seems to really like her and we are looking forward to a great year. Taydem is in kindergarten this year but he doesn't start until Thursday the 28th. His teacher is Mrs. Peterson. We went to Back to School night on Wednesday and met with his teacher. He is excited to go but mom is going to miss him at home with her.

Texie Special Day!!

On August 2, 2008 Texie was officially the newest member of the LDS Church. Her dad baptized her and confirmed her. This was Ryan's first experience using the priesthood power. He was pretty nervous as he was awake till three in the morning stewing over it. But those of you that know Ryan know how awesome he is with words. He did such a great job and I am so proud of him. Texie we love you and are so happy for the decision you made to get baptized and your sweet spirit you bring to our family. Thanks to everyone who came and made this day special for Texie. We have such great friends and family who we all love.
