Just Because

2010-05-19T15:56:00.000-07:00

I know I've been horrible about updating the blog, I've had lots of ideas and events to update with just never got around to it so I'm doing just a little something to get started again and then hopefully I can stay more up to date.This girl loves to be outside, she is crazy about bouncing on the tramp, love the static electric hair!

We finally broke down and got Gage a bike. He loves it and always wants to go on bike rides.

Happy New Year

2010-01-09T11:14:00.000-08:00

Mia is nine months old and I can't believe how fast time is going by she is crawling around every where and starting to pull herself up on everything!! She thinks shes pretty big, yep she still has those cheeks

Gage is full of life this is his favorite gum we bought a brand new box and by the end of the day it was gone! He loves to put as many pieces in his month before we notice what he's doing and then he'll chew it for a few minutes and then say "its yucky" oh we love this boy he is always making us laugh.

Dillon, Laura and mostly Gage

SUMMER IN REVIEW

2009-09-20T21:44:00.000-07:00

We went to Lake Powell with Dillons family. Gage had fun playing in the sand, he does not seem to like going off the slide on the house boat. Hopefully he will not need counseling later in life. Mia had fun getting held and loved by all. Thanks to all for helping out with our kids and just for helping make Lake Powell great.

Gage turned 3 this August. He enjoyed opening all of his presents, tears were shed when we sang Happy Birthday to him (he is a very tender fella). He loves all of his present thanks for the gifts. We love him and cannot imagine life without him, we can't believe it has been 3 years already. We are so lucky to have him in our lives.

We went to St George one weekend and got to enjoy a day in Zion National Park. The kids got to catch frogs and do some cliff jumping into the river. We went to Sand Hollow the next day. Some enjoyed boating while others enjoyed sitting under a canopy nursing and keeping their 4 months old out of the sun :)

Spudman 2009. It is offical, I am a Triathlete hehe. I had lots of fun and thanks to Lyndsey and Christy for inviting me. We should do it again next year.

SUMMER REVIEW PART 2

2009-09-20T21:23:00.000-07:00

In June Dillon did his first triathlon with his cousin Jake. They did the Scofield Tri and did great. Nikki (Jakes wife), Gage, Mia and I went to watch them cross the finish line.

This is the Kiddos on the 4th of July. Sorry the pictures are kinda dark I was playing around with the camera. Started out the day with the freedom festival run (not pictured), and since the folks were out of town no omletes so we did the next best thing and had Kneaders french toast....delicous. We then went and saw the movie UP and had a BBQ with Dillons parents and enjoyed the wonderful PG Fireworks.

Nick and Amy sent this little outfit so I thought I would model her in it so that they could see it. Don't you just want to eat those cheeks with toast? We all know you do Bob!!

Dillon did the wasatch Back this year. It was a painful experiance for him, he has bad plantar fasciitis in both feet. They finished and I am hoping to do it next year!

Our Crazy Life

2009-06-03T15:19:00.000-07:00

Now that Mia is almost three months old I thought I would put a few pictures of her, I guess you could say that life with two is kicking my butt! I know that once Mia is a bit older things will get better hopefully.

I'm loving this baby girl she brings such a sweet spirit into our home, I love it when she gives me big smiles and those cheeks are so yummy.
The last few months seem like a blur we have been busy! Dillon is finishing up a class for his BS and then training to do the Wasatch Back and the Scofield Triathlon, I'm trying to get back in shape and thought no better way then doing the Spud Man in Idaho! We are enjoy life as crazy as it is.

Mia the day we brought her home from the hospital

This is Mia now, see what I mean about those yummy cheeks

Our early arrival

2009-04-07T20:15:00.000-07:00

Baby girl is here she came five weeks early, she has spent the last three weeks in the hospital needing an antibiotic because she had meningitis and pneumonia, she also had some trouble with her breathing which is very common with preemies so she had a c-pap for the first week in the hospital, she has her last dose of the antibiotic tonight and then its just a matter of her being able to eat enough and keep gaining weight so where hoping by this weekend she will get to come home!!

We love our little bundle of joy and can't wait to have her home.

Thanks to everyone who have been so helpful all the delicious meals, watching Gage and most importantly the prayers, we have definitely felt Heavenly Fathers hands in all of this and have felt so blessed.

Mia Fay-5 lbs 3 oz-18 inch-3/18

MIA from the blog world

2009-03-05T17:23:00.000-08:00

So I've been missing in action in the blog world, so I thought I would give a little update of whats been happening in our lives the last little bit.
First of all for those of you who read this blog and I don't run into once in awhile we are expecting baby number 2, its a girl!! and I'm due in like 6 weeks (but whose counting). Everything seems to be going well and we are anxiously awaiting her arrival.
Gage is busy as ever and has been loving the warmer weather getting outside is fantastic, we have now moved him into a big boy bed (mattress and box spring) and the transition has been surprisingly smooth. We are now ready for the next phase potty training!!
Dillon interviewed a few weeks ago at BYU for Nurse Practitioner School, sadly enough we got a rejection letter in the mail shortly after, so we will be saving our money and applying again next year.
That's pretty much our life right now.

Christmas in Florida

2009-03-05T17:20:00.000-08:00

For Christmas this year Chris and Jodie took the whole family to Disney World, we had a great time going to all the parks, enjoying some nice sunny weather and just spending time together as a family.
Now this is not something I wouldn't want to do every year because it didn't really feel like Christmas but it was fun and more relaxing then most of our Christmas's.
Thanks so much for the good times and memories!!

Funny Boy

2008-11-18T08:57:00.000-08:00

So the other day and by that I mean a few weeks ago I was cleaning the bathroom and I put my necklaces on the floor so I could clean any way Gage found a few that I don't really wear so I was letting him play with them and when I came out of the bathroom this is what I found.

Sorry the pictures are a little blurry but I thought it was pretty funny, hey there's no such thing as to many accessories right!

Oh what a funny boy!!

Our Fall Happenings

2008-11-18T08:19:00.000-08:00

So I've been meaning to update for awhile I just keep putting it off, and to be honest it plagues me everyday so it about stinken time I know you are all sick of seeing Lake Powell pictures if you even look at this blog any more so here's and update of what we have been doing this fall and I'll be better at updating more frequently.Gage and I had a great time at the Wadley Farms Halloween party here's the gang that cameGage getting his groove on. Here's Dillon pumpkin he carved Jack All of our pumpkins from left to right Jodie, Chris, Dillon and mineGage posing with papa and grandma on the front porch.

Here was the sunrise from our house on Halloween morning it was amazing

Here's Gage on Halloween in his Winnie the Pooh costume and of course his trusty side kick Tigger

Lake Powell with the Olsen's

2008-09-29T12:25:00.000-07:00

So we went to lake Powell the beginning of September its just taken me awhile to get around to posting some pictures of our fun trip!!
I love Lake Powell!! I especially love it this time of year the temperature is great, warm but not miserable and it cools off at night so you can actually sleep.

This year the highlight of the trip was this huge slide and ramp that the boys all put together, it was definitely a group effort and took awhile to assemble not having all the proper tools and equipment, once they got it together they spent many hours taking turns trying to get some major air, a few of the girls where brave enough to try it mostly we just watch taking video and pictures of the guys. They got really brave and got pulled of the ramp by one of the wave runners. They got some serious air and distance, when they finally got the ramp and everything right it broke. There is already talk of how to make the ramp bigger and better for next year. I thought they wre lucky to get away this year with no serious injuries. Next year may be a different story, silly boys.

Check it off the life list

2008-08-25T12:38:00.002-07:00

Hiking to the top of Timp. has always been on my life list and as of Saturday I can now check that off!!
We got up at 5:00 a.m. Saturday morning and headed to the Timpanoke trail head where we met a bunch of Dillon's family and we started the trek, for the first few miles we all stayed together but when the other group wanted to stop and rest and have some lunch that's when Dillon, Jodie and I took off with out them we all just needed to keep on trekking we made it all the way to the top and the view was amazing. We are so blessed to live in such beautiful country and its practically in our back yard.

Thank You Amy for watching Gage.

Here's the group that went with us

A view from the top

Jack Johnson

2008-08-25T12:38:00.001-07:00

Monday Night we went to the Jack Johnson concert at the USANA Amphitheater its such a great venue to listen a concert, we had a wonderful time watching people there where such a variety from really young (I think almost to young) to some old but his music caters to everyone.

Thanks to Chris and Jodie for taking us all we had a great time and maybe next time Dillon won't drive so crazy.

Dillon and I our lovely self portrait

Chris and Jodie

This is Jack Johnson singing sorry its hard to see we where a ways back there.

Birthday Boy

2008-08-25T12:38:00.000-07:00

I can't believe another year has come and gone Gage is growing up!! I'm so glad that this little man is in my life, every day he gives me a reason to smile and laugh even though sometimes laughing isn't the first instinct. He's a great alarm clock I'm usually up before him but on those mornings that I just can't seem to get out of bed I love to hear him yell from the other room "lowa, lowa". Lets not forget what a big helper he is washing dishes, vacumming, feeding Lexi and all the other things that he likes to help out with.
Happy Birthay Gagee Boy we love you!!Gage opening presents from Gandma and PapaGage rockin out to the music that plays on his new bike Gage was a little nervous when we sang Happy Birthday and needed help blowing out the candles

Here's a picture of the three of us I like how Gage tilted his head for this picture.

I had to put this one on for Dillon he was so proud of the action shot he took.

Boulder Mountain

2008-08-18T12:46:00.000-07:00

This last weekend we took a little camping trip with Dillon's family to Boulder Mountain, We had a great time fishing, riding our bikes, sitting around the camp fire we spent a lot of time around the fire because we where so high up when the sun went down it got quite chilly.

I'm glad that I got to spent time in such a beautiful place and with some of my favorite people.Thanks to Chris and Jodie for the great time and wonderful memories. Thanks Uncle Ry for playing with Gage and letting him chase you for hours on end.

This is a view our our campsite

Dillon and Chris gathering wood for the fire

Gage all snugly with Grandma

Gage sharing chips with Ry

Jodie has a big grin on her face because as I was trying to take the picture the fish got off the hood and so she was trying to just hold and and it kept jumping out of her hand it was quite funny to watch.

Dillon with one of the many fish that where caught and put back.

Read-a thon

2008-08-04T14:03:00.000-07:00

When was the last time you had a read-a thon? For me I think it has been since elementary, this weekend my sisters and I had a read-a thon a certain vampire book! Yeah the beloved Breaking Dawn was released and you bet we where there at midnight to pick up our copy. Thank You Robyn for reserving all of us a copy! and Thank you Amy for inviting me to come along so that I could finish the book this weekend. A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to DILLON for letting me go and taking care of things while I was gone your the best!!

Lake Powell with the Lamoreaux's

2008-07-30T12:57:00.000-07:00

We went to Lake Powell this last week. Its one of my favorite places, I love that you just live in the swimming suite and then when you get to hot you just jump in the lake and the water's not freezing just refreshing.
Vacationing with the Lamoreaux's means there's not shortage of food so we definitely ate good every night, thanks to my Dad and uncles for taking care of the food it was great!!
We also had a great time riding on the Big Mable, wet banana, cliff jumping and even got some wake boarding in sorry I don't have any action photos I was really bad about taking pictures I did at least take some.

Gage had a good time other then the cold he came down with that made him miserable most of the time but I think he still enjoyed himself.

Thanks again to my Dad and uncles for making this trip possible and all the work and money you put into it.

Another year of wedded bliss!!

2008-07-23T13:49:00.000-07:00

Since will be in Lake Powell for our anniversary I thought I would just quickly post a little something to celebrate, just wanted to say how lucky I am to be married to my best friend!! We've had another year of great memories and trials all though not all have been good we have learned a lot and have grown even more.

Our 4th of July

2008-07-16T09:13:00.000-07:00

We started our 4Th of July off with the Freedom Festival 10k run this is something I've wanted to do for a long time and just never have so this was the year I guess, it was a great run and I think we may have started a new tradition.
Then after the race it was off to my parents house for Omelets, we ate and chatted all morning long its always great to be with family.
After a lazy afternoon we had dinner with Chris and Jodie at Costa Vida and then dropped Gage off for Jeff to watch him while we went to Stadium of Fire we had a great time it was very patriotic and I quite enjoyed the Blue Man Group if only we could have seen more, oh and I guess I should mention Miley Cyrus she did a good job as well.

Fishing

2008-07-02T12:28:00.001-07:00

While I was running in the Wasatch Back Dillon and his Dad took Gage fishing, he had a great time the only mishap was Gage throwing Dillon's pole into the Lake makes fishing a little difficult. Greg and Gage on the boat
Dillon and Gage on the boat

Gage almost kissed the fish, he opted to pet it instead.

Gage driving the boat I'm sure this is where he spent the majority of the time (by the way do you like how he put his hat on, um not really doing the job?)

Wasatch Back

2008-07-02T12:28:00.000-07:00

I know this happened a few weeks ago but I just had to post something about it. On June 20-21st Team Sweetness busted out 178 miles starting in Logan and ending in Park City, it took us 28 hours and 27 minutes not bad for not really being avid runners. The scenery was beautiful especially during our middle of the night run, the moon had been full just a few days before so the reflection off the lake was amazing, it was definitely hot and there wasn't a lot of sleeping but it was a great experience and I'm grateful for the friendships and memories that where made and I can't wait until next year. Team Sweetness at the finishDillon and Gage came to meet me at the finish line, poor guys had to wait forever.

Our trip to the zoo

2008-06-18T13:26:00.002-07:00

We had a great time with the Mitchell's at the zoo, thanks for letting us tag along again.

Taft took Gage to see the Penguins

Orem Fest Fireworks

2008-06-18T13:26:00.001-07:00

We went to the Orem Fest fireworks this weekend there probably one of the best firework display, in my opinion.
Gage wasn't a huge fan of the fireworks after the first few went off he started saying "bye bye" so Dillon got up and walked with him as long as Dillon kept walking Gage was okay, that silly Gagee Boy.

Here are some pictures of the fireworks, sorry there not that great.

Has it really been 10 years

2008-06-09T13:50:00.002-07:00

Saturday I had my 10 year high school reunion, It was fun to see everyone, get caught up with those I haven't seen in awhile mostly I just enjoyed spending time with the gang I have been blessed with a bunch of GREAT FRIENDS!! Thank you for all the good times and great memories.

He loves me!!

2008-06-09T13:50:00.001-07:00

Out of the blue one day Dillon brought home these flowers just to say he loves me!! Thanks Dillon they made my day.

Memorial Day

2008-06-09T13:50:00.000-07:00

I know its a little late but I thought I would post it any way! We had a fun Memorial Day it started out with a 5k run for Ryan Cox, he passed away and left behind his sweet wife and 3 little girls so they did this run as a fundraiser, it rained up until the race started and then stopped and then started again shortly after we had finished, Dillon pushed Gage in the jogger and Gage had a nice little nap while we where running. What a sport.

The Start

The Finish

After the race we just hung out at home we where planning on doing yard work but with all the rain we decided to put it off.

We had a BBQ at my parents house it was fun and the sun came out for a bit so we took advantage of that and enjoyed some wiffle ball, and roasted marshmellow and ate some yummy s'mores.

The Birthday Girl

2008-05-31T14:55:00.000-07:00

I can't believe she's 12! sniff.. sniff.. Happy Birthday Kate we love you!!

Havasupai

2008-05-25T20:29:00.000-07:00

Dillon and I have been wanting to go to Havasupai since we first got married, it just never worked out until this year, we had been planning this trip since January and of course we had a little mishap with Gage so we thought we wouldn't be going.
We decided that Gage was going to be fine and that we would go ahead and go.
In about and hour and half we got our packs all packed and dropped Gage off at my moms and where on our way!
After a really long car ride nine hours to be exact, we spent the night in a hotel which is about an hour away from the parking lot to Havasupai, we got up the next morning and drove to the parking lot unloaded our stuff and started our hike.
The hike was beautiful but long and I have to admit that my pack was killing my collar bones, not really something I thought about when I was getting fitted for my pack. It was a fun trip and we look forward to doing it again now that we know what to expect.

Here are some pictures of the trip hopefully you can get and idea of how beautiful it really is.

Quack Quack!

2008-03-05T15:52:00.000-08:00

A few weekends ago we went down to a pond that's near BYU campus and they have a bunch of ducks, Gage had a blast chasing them and a nice person that was there gave him a piece of bread to feed them any way it was cheap entertainment

We went to Disneyland!!

2008-02-27T15:24:00.001-08:00

Gage and I got to tag along with Amy and the kids to Disneyland, we went about two weeks ago and yes I'm just getting around to blogging it! We had a great time thanks Amy for letting us come, hopefully we where some help! (I did try to up date the blog yesterday but my little buddy Gage turned off the computer!! Love him.)

Gage and Monson watching the kids on the ride (sorry don't remember which ride it was).

We went to the beach on Sunday it was a great day to go! Of course the water was freezing I don't know how the kids could stand being in it, oh to be young again.

Gage didn't really care for the sand that much at first but after just observing for awhile he decided that is wasn't so bad, then he wasn't content just sitting and playing in the sand he had to check it all out.

This is all the kids at the beach, Taft, Hunter, Monson, Kate, Gage and Millie, yeah Gage didn't really want to stop for a picture.

The petting zoo at Disneyland was a highlight for Gage he didn't want to pet the animals but he was great at making all there sounds.

I like how Gage and Millie are looking at this cows behind

Monson petting the goat, He also tried to pick up the Sheep.

Gage loves Lexi, he could play outside with her all day if we let him.
This paticular day Dad was doing something on the roof and so he let Lexi
out for a bit so she could run around, Gage was loving watching her run around
in the snow and enjoyed some yummy licks from her as well.

2008-01-21T08:55:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to do a quick update, I know I haven't blogged in awhile I've spent the last week in St. George taking care of my niece and nephews while Bob and Robyn enjoyed some much needed R&R with her family on a cruise.
The week went well there where definitely times that I thought to myself why did I say I would do this? Keep in mind that there youngest Gilbert is just 10 days younger then Gage and Gwyn is just 15 months older then Gil so lets just say I was very busy!! The boys had a great time playing together, I had to break up some fights of course and Gwyn thought it was great when Gage would chase here around the house. Abe and Tucker where pretty helpful, they did try to see what they could get away with of course (Boys).
I'm glad that I was able to help out and it was fun to spend time with the Lamoreaux's because even though I see them quite a bit its just not the same as spending some quality time together.
Love you guys.

Happy Birthday Dillon

So I'm a little slow in posting this but Dillon did just recently celebrated his birthday!! It was this last Sunday. For his birthday extravaganza we went to dinner at Magleby's with Dillon's family and they took Gage home with them and we went to the movie, we saw Dan in Real Life!! if you haven't seen it yet I totally recommend this one it has a little bit of everything in it. So nothing terribly exciting but I hope you know that we love you!! Hope all your birthday wishes come true.

So today is my sister Amy's birthday, Happy Birthday!! Like always all the girls went to lunch my Mom, Sarah, Amy and I also my trusty sidekick Gage.
As we where at lunch I was reminded of whose in charge, lets just say that Gage had something else in mind and it wasn't eating lunch at PF Chang's. Oh how I love my Gagee boy!! Sorry it's not the best picture it was the only one I could find apparently I need to take more pictures of people other then Gage!!

2007-12-03T13:48:00.000-08:00

So I need to apologize to my sister Amy I was mocking her for not blogging for the whole month of November and as I was saying this I realized that I hadn't blogged either so sorry Amy.
I needed to up date so I thought I would do this cute picture of my boys! And do a little shout out to my man Dillon he's the best he's been a little stressed out with working full time and doing school online but he doesn't complain, I'm thankful for how hard he works to take care of us and making it possible to stay home and take care of Gage I feel so blessed!! I know at times I forget to remember how blessed I am but that is definitely something I'm trying to work on. So Dillon thanks for being so great!! Your my best friend a one heck of a dad, Gage adores you and can always look to for an example.

2007-10-01T15:39:00.000-07:00

Gage is now 13 months, he's not walking yet he is doing all the things that help like,
walking on furniture and pushing things and walking so I suspect that he'll be toddling around before we know it.
Things that he like to do as you can see in these photos is get our toothbrushes out and play with them we had to get two new ones because he also decided that it was fun to put them in the toilet yuck!
He's such a funny boy! we love him and where enjoying every minute even when he's a little whinny!!

2007-09-27T10:51:00.000-07:00

We decided to enjoy the nice fresh fall air by hiking Y mountain, now of course this was no easy feat especially when your packing a little one but the view and the peacefulness is totally worth it.

A little summer review

Lake Powell

2007-08-30T10:40:00.000-07:00

So I have been really bad about taking pictures lately and so from our not so reason trip to Lake Powell here are a few pictures.

Gage and Papa Lyle had lots of fun playing in the sand, if I remember right there are pictures of Kate, Tucker and the other grandkids that are very similar. We love our Papa Lyle.

2007-08-25T21:19:00.001-07:00

Here's some of them enjoying the yummy cake!

The Birthday Boy!! The Birthday Boy!!

2007-08-25T20:53:00.000-07:00

We had a great time celebrating Gage and Monson's first birthday, we had it at my Mom and Dads house since they have the best set up for an event like this. As always there was plenty of good food including those yummy ribs that my Dad likes to make.

Gage enjoyed Kate and Millie helping him opening his presents, I think Millie was more excited about them then Gage. (Course he is only one.)

The best part of the evening was watching the two of them Gage and Monson eat there Big Cupcakes! Now I made them so Gage had been wanting these all day so when it was time there wasn't any messing around! I was hilarious he picked it right up it got all over the front of him I think he only took a few big bites and then just had fun squishing it all up. He then proceeded to try and get a hold of Monson's

Monson on the other had daintily stuck his finger in the frosting a few times and then he picked it up ever so nicely and ate it, he of course was messy but not nearly as messy as Gage!

Then

I'm glad that we have this special person in our lifes because I couldn't imagine it with out him!!

GOOD TIMES FOR ALL

2007-07-10T21:24:00.000-07:00

Gage enjoyed playing on the beach. He may have enjoyed it a little to much. I think we are still getting a little sand out of his right nostril. Who knows how he got it up there, the boys got talent. It was quite amusing to watch him crawl in the sand. He would fling the sand up in the air with his hands as he scooted as fast as he could across the beach.

A little Gage and Millie time...

A little Loon watching with the Mitchell's.

Gage could care less about the loons, but loved the boat ride. He liked to hear the sound of his voice as the boat cruised across the lake.

MINNESOTA ARRIVAL

2007-07-10T21:13:00.000-07:00

We could not get Gage to look away from the window as we arrived into Minneapolis. He is such a great little traveler.

Gage has a little obsession with his stroller, well to be more accurate with the wheels on his stroller. He had a little bit of a fit when he came out of the hotel and saw his stroller strapped to the hood of the rental van. The only way to calm him was to stick him on the roof with his stroller for a ggod 20 minutes while we finished loading up to head out the resort.

CRAZY GAGE

2007-06-26T20:20:00.000-07:00

I just want to apologize to you all when I started this blog I promised myself that I would update at least once a week, and now here I am and how many weeks have passed? So from now on I will be bettter. Just keep in mind that we will be out of town for a week.

With that all said Holy Cow I can't believe Gage is 10 months. Where does the time go? He hasn't changed a lot except for he's definetly getting into more things as he discoveres that he can open different doors in the kitchen and bathroom. He likes to laugh and joke around a lot (well as much as a 10 month old can).

We have done a few fun things the last few weeks we went to the Scera pool, he was more into playing with the wheels of the stroller then in the water. We also took a trip to Seven Peaks he actually liked playing in the water the best part was pulling himself up on the tubes he enjoyed the lazy river mostly because two of his favorite people where there Sarah and Millie.

HELLO

2007-06-06T21:04:00.001-07:00

Dillon and I have had so much fun looking at the Mitchell's and the Lamoreaux's blogs oh and lets not forget the links that the Lamoreux's have(yes where blurkers).

We decided that we needed our own blog.

Here's a few pictures of Gage he's lots of fun! He's 9months old and crawling around and pulling himself up on just about anything he can get a good grip on, he babbles a lot and you can get him to smile and giggle without too much work. Also he's definitely opinionated and knows what he wants the biggest trick most of the time is figuring that out.
