Karson Party

Interesting day! Next year, we are going to Flips, and let someone else worry about the party

My family

This is my family. Strange, YES! Very much so! Life is a crazy ride. 10 years ago in high school, if you would have told me that I would have been married twice with a freaking 17 year old step daughter, 2 boys and a baby on the way, I would have laughed, HARD! Who would have ever guessed that performing would end and family life begin so quickly. I don't have regrets! I love my life. There are many mornings that I like alot of people wake up and say "Whoa! What the crap happened!" I am so happy for all of my friends I love to look through your blogs and see your incredible families and how happy you are!

Brighton Cabin Retreat

Each year, my great husband rents out a HUGE cabin up at Brighton. We invite my whole family to come and play cards, and games, and go skiing!! I love to ski with my family although this year may be interesting. Karson loves to ski. Last year, I had a blast with him on the bunny hill. He even was brave enough to handle a green run! He is a stud of a little kid. I am lucky to have such a cool family that loves to play together.

MY FAVORITE MOM AND DAD PICTURE

THIS IS MY FAVORITE PICTURE OF MY PARENTS

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HALF NAKED DONKEY RIDING MAN IS MY DAD..

CHECK OUT MY DAD'S RED PANTS AND RED SHIRT...WHAT WAS MY MOM THINKING!

Flowrider

Last Saturday for Karson's birthday after the crazy 10- 5 year olds at my house party, we went up to the flowrider in Ogden, It is such a fun place...

I got to watch with my brother Chad and his wife Kristens little boy who is almost one, Mitch.

It was fun to watch Chad, Kristen, Dave, Sam and Karson have fun though. It scared Kars a little when he would be going for a longer amount of time. Karson's other biggest complaint, was that he ran into the wall and really "hurt his little dude". I recommend the Flowrider! I can't wait till I can go in 7 months!

Reno- We are coming back!

This Friday my husband and I are going to Reno, or I should say back to Reno...
2 and a half years ago, Dave and I eloped to Reno one weekend. Flew out on Saturday, got married in a little teeny white church by a 75 year old 4 foot lady!
We played the rest of the weekend and came home married!
We always said we would go back for our anniversary, we didn't make it for number 1 or 2, so we are going now. It was absolutely the most perfect wedding, I would suggest it to anyone. It ended up actually being about our marriage, not about dresses and cake and flowers, and whos Aunt is pissed off for not getting a corsage! I wouldn't change one thing about Dave and I's wedding or marriage..

Thanks Honey :)

Seasonal Affected Disorder!!!

About 5 years ago my parents bought this little piece of crap house in Idaho, they bought it for about $50,000. We spent the first summer remodeling and basically rebuilding the house. The second summer we played and in August my siblings and I decided to purchase a boat! For the last 3 summers every weekend you can find us at Bearlake with what has become quite the set up. Paddle boats, Canoes, Kayaks, A water trampoline, barbeques, an RV, Multiple Tubes and a Boat! What could be more fun! We didn't really think through the timing of having a baby, I am due in the Middle of JULY! There goes my wakeboarding till August! I think it is worth it, don't get me wrong, it still sucks though!

We have become the family in St. Charles that every other town member hates! I can't blame them, every weekend 40 rowdy people showing up with Motorcycles, go-carts, and a ton of illegal fireworks that have missed burning down the neighbors house by inches on multiple occasions...But, we have a good time.

I am thankful that my parents have decided to create this type of inheritance and a place that the 22 grandkids can go each week to get to know each other and really become the best of friends! I am thankful I have such a great family that everyone is friends, there is no funk, there isn't any "elephants in the living room" type things. Everyone takes care of everyones kids, and loves each other...

Such a fun day!

This was a great day!
Dancing at a Cabellas
VIP NIGHT.

Thanks girls for making this so memorable!

KARSON IS 6 YEARS OLD!!!

I can't believe that my little boy is 6 years old tomorrow, it goes by so fast!

Today, Karson came in and announced that today was such and important day! "Almost like a holiday"...I asked him what important day was today, He told me "Well, Mom, today is the last day I am going to be 5 years old, we need to celebrate today"... Talk about a kid that knows how to sucker his Mom into a few more things!

We also got to hear the heartbeat of our newest edition to be yesterday, It is amazing, the whole process! I wake up so many times in life and think to myself " What the hell are you doing?" Here I am 25, I have a soon to be 17 year old stepdaughter, 13 year old stepson, my 6 year old little boy, and we are really starting all over again, I guess I fit the stereo typical Mormon Mom complex now, with having a brand new baby at a high school graduation!
