Happy Birthday Aurora!

2010-04-12T20:18:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that she is 4 years old!

Blowing out her Airel cake.

Aurora with all of her new toys she was so sad that she had to finally go to bed she wanted to take all her toys to bed with her.

I think Leyla was mad that she didn't get any presents.

During the day she decided that she wanted some friends to come over and play, she had so much fun with all of them, they decorated cupcakes, played games and opened presents!

Happy Easter in Washington

The gang at the horse races! Trint had always wanted to go so this year since it was conference weekend and the races are on sunday we decided to go. It was so much fun and brought back so many good memories of going with my mom when I was little. We bet a couple of races and never really won any money, then we bet within ourselves and that was funner!

Never fails we always have good food!

The Easter wiener roast

All the sisters!

Happy Easter in Washington

All the kids getting ready for the hunt at Grandmas!

Grandma Shorty and Leyla

Karyson and Aurora with the kinda wierd looking Easter bunny, the bunny gave them a whole starburst if they went and hugged him so Aurora was scared but decided she wanted the starburst more than she was scared.

Aurora at the Hood Park Easter egg hunt it was so cold and so windy but she got some good candy and prize eggs!

Leyla getting ready to go swimming at the hotel in Boise she loved it so much I think she lost 5 pounds because as soon as she got her legs in the water they were moving it was hard to even hold her up.

I have a 3 year old?

2009-04-14T18:56:00.000-07:00

Aurora's birthday finally came and she was so excited she could hardly stand it.
Eating her Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake, that is her new favorite show and there was no doubt that Minnie was one of her favorite presents. She had so much fun with all her cousins there and her favorite part was blowing out her candles!

Aurora with her new Minnie and her cute new baby we asked her what she wanted to name her baby and she came up with "Baby Galore." She loves to be a little mom and she takes such good care of them.

I asked her what she wanted to do on her birthday and she begged to go and feed the ducks and since it happened to be a beautiful day it worked out perfect, although she decided to eat some of the hamburger buns when I wasn't looking. She had such a fun day and its so amazing how fast 3 years have gone by.

Christmas 2008

2009-01-16T12:33:00.000-08:00

Christmas morning Aurora was so excited and thrilled she just wanted to play with all the toys at once, it was fun to see her opening the presents and really "getting" the whole Christmas thing this year.

Cousin Karyson and Aurora playing the wii that they got for Christmas, well trying the best they could Karyson was cute if she didn't win she would just sit back on the couch and say I don't want to play anymore, but of course she did. And just so you know if theirs anyone that wants to play me in wii bowling I will kick your ace my top score is 266 that's right I got 7 strikes in a row, don't even worry about it OK.

Aurora got some cute dress up clothes from Santa and she had a ball dressing up with everyone so she could look just like Cinderella.

Playing games at Grandma's house

Opening presents with the family!

We couldn't find Aurora and Devon for a while then we finally found them watching Seinfeld of all the things in the corner of the room.

Aurora loves making all kinds of "dinners" for us with her new kitchen from Grandma Shorty and as you can see she is very serious about it.

Santa also brought her a big girl bed she actually loves it and has done really good in it as far as staying in at night.

Gotta love playing games my brother and his huge glasses the funny part is that we were playing Settlers not even poker. One night we had a Settlers marathon until about 2 in the morning I can't remember but I think my brother Ben won and we all know its only because he cheats.

We had such a fun Christmas this year my other sister from Washington also came and spend Christmas with us too. I love love Christmas time and I'm always sad when its over but thanks to everyone that made it so special and fun!

Sledding with all kinds of cousins!

2009-01-16T11:55:00.000-08:00

About a week before Christmas my sister and family came to visit us it was a surprise nobody knew that they were coming until they showed up at the house, it was a lot of fun though and Aurora still asks for "Karyson and Emigh to come play at my house."

The day after they came we went sledding at the golf course with all of the kids and then after that Trint took the boys snowmobiling.

Aurora loved sledding at first she whined and then once she started to go she couldn't stop laughing.

This is Brooklyn and Aurora on the sled in Grandpa's field they did it the easy way by using the 4-wheeler to pull them around. I really love the snow sometimes and then again I hate it sometimes too.

Santa Claus

2009-01-16T11:37:00.001-08:00

This was Aurora at the mall riding the train around Santa Claus she was so excited to see him and tell him what she wanted but little did we know it was all talk. Once it was her turn she freaked out and started crying but afterwards she told everyone she did sit on his lap... what a little fibber!

After the incident at the mall her and Grandpa had a plan and they were going to "sit on his lap and touch his beard" in her words, so we tried...

There was no way it was going to happen no matter how hard we tried to brib her with candy

And so we just made her I am sure she will be scard for life. Even on Christmas morning I went to her room to wake her up and I told her that Santa had came and she brust into tears and said "no I don't want him" but then I said no he's not here he just brought you presents and then she was happy.

Lets start with Thankgiving!

2009-01-16T11:25:00.000-08:00

Grandma is such a pushover because it didn't take much for the kids to talk her into letting them open one of their presents on Thanksgiving. It doesn't look like Parker was to thrill about his jammers though.

This year for Thanksgiving we went to Trint's mom and dad house and had all the family there including my brother and sister-in-law and their kids. It was a lot of fun to have so many people there and visit and of course eat!

I am a Child of God

Thriller again!

2008-11-18T19:34:00.000-08:00

So the Saturday after Halloween we went to Thriller again with some friends it was a lot of fun and Trint was really not that thrilled about going but after he saw it he said it was way better than he thought it would be and rated it a 8 out of 10. Other than that we haven't been up to a whole lot, trying to get ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas but it always comes and goes way to fast.

Aurora is finally 100% potty trained and now thinks she has to do everything by herself she even makes Trint and I leave the bathroom when she's going she says "You go in and sit on the couch mom" its kinda funny. As I am writing this she is saying "Mom you leaving me nuts" which means I am driving her nuts. Her new thing to tell Trint is "Just leave-va-me alone!!!" Can you say attitude!

Happy Halloween!

2008-11-04T13:56:00.001-08:00

So for Halloween as you can tell Aurora was Ariel. We had such a fun time this year too because she finally understood the "Trick or Treating" part and when I ask her "What do you say "(when I want her to say please) and she says "Trick or Treat" still.

This is me and Aurora at Skyler and Chelsea's Halloween party, they had some yum food and treats and Aurora's favorite the root beer that she managed to spill down the front of her by the end of the night.

Getting ready to get more candy! She loved putting on make-up and getting ready and even liked me spraying the red stuff in her hair, at first when she saw it in the mirror she was a little worried and then she thought it was cool.

This is her friend Kennedy that was a Ariel too they had a lot of fun together trick or treating at the mall! They were both the cutest Mermaids I saw.

Cousins and Aurora at the mall getting ready to run!

We had a church party the day before Halloween and they had games and prizes and fun stuff Aurora loved it except when she saw scary people dressed up then she stayed close to me. We had such a fun year dressing up and still tons of candy left even though she was eating it every chance she got.

Thriller!!!

2008-10-31T16:35:00.000-07:00

This past weekend my sister and some friends went to Thriller at Kingsbury Hall in Salt Lake. We went last year and loved it and this year it was even better! I love all the dancers and it defiantly makes me wish that I could dance but I can't.

In front of Thriller the only thing I kinda don't like are the weird people that come right up to your face.....their gross and in Kimberly's words need a breath mint.

Becky, Kimberly, Bree and me!

It was so much fun that I even talked Trint into going this weekend with some others friends, its gonna be fun!

Happy Birthday to me!

2008-10-16T14:50:00.000-07:00

For my birthday this year Trint surprised me with a weekend getaway to St. George! It was a lot of fun except that it was suppose to be warm and it wasn't but at least it was warmer than it was here. He had planned to play golf on Saturday but it was way to cold, so we just went shopping instead and for once Trint was a good sport about it, he didn't whine about having "shopping legs" which he usually does. Then we went to a movie. We tried to remember the last one we went to and for me it was "Horton hears a Who" with kids and for him we really couldn't remember. Then of course we went to one of my favorite place's on earth, Outback. He also got me an hour massage while we were there and I couldn't have asked for a better weekend! What a great husband I have!
For the past 2 weeks Aurora has been so excited about my birthday. She finds little papers or toys or anything and brings them to me and tells me they are my birthday cake then she puts a bow on them. She was so excited for the real birthday cake she could hardly stand herself and did such a good job of singing "Happy Birthday."
I can't believe that I'm 26 I guess its true...... time flies when your having fun!

Happy 60th Momma Cita!!!

2008-10-08T11:28:00.000-07:00

So for my mom's birthday this year (the big 60) we all went to Vegas to celebrate! It was so much fun to spend time with just my sisters and mom. It just reminds me of how crazy and wild we really are, especially my mom, and of course that's were we get it from. We spent lots of time shopping which we all love and then went to some shows and of course the good eating!
Jennifer (3rd oldest), Allyson (my brothers wife), Kimberly (5th oldest), Me (youngest), Raquel (Oldest), Michelle (2nd oldest) and my mom.

OK so in Vegas they have a "Price is Right" show its exactly like the real thing except for the hosts but everything else is the same. So we all bought tickets and then you sit in the audience and hope that your picked to bid and win prizes, whatever just like the real show. Well sure enough I'm sitting there and every one's cheering getting ready to call the first name and then I hear "Chanel Pierce COME ON DOWN!" I was like oh crap I almost peed my pants...... So anyways I am on the bidding panel and got to bid last (it was for a telescope) and I bid a dollar higher than the highest bid and won so I got to go on stage and play the game where I had 4 price tags and had 45 seconds to put them on the right thing in the end I had two of them right so I won a exercise machine and a table and lamp. Then I had the option to take money instead so I left with $480. It was so much fun the guy with the blue shirt was the host ( he hosts on the game show network) and the other guy was the announcer. This me on the stage Kimberly got one picture but then she got yelled at for taking it so it was all we got. But it was so much fun I would do it again too!

While we were there we went and saw the show "KA" by Cirque Du Soleil by far one of the coolest things I have ever went too. Its like acrobatics and just amazing stuff I tried explaining it to Trint and it does no justice to try and tell about it, if you ever have the chance go see it.
So while we were waiting to get in the show everyone was all crowded around this guy taking pictures so we were like who is it and a guy says its SO and So from the LA Kings. Allyson was like oh I love him and we hurried and got a picture by him. They we doing a charity gambling night at the hotel. So then I was like oh yeah a basketball player...... nope hes a hockey player and I looked him up his name is Anze Kopitar. I guess I'm not that into hockey.
The Cheesecake Factory oh yum!
It was such a fun trip with everyone there!

Disneyland!

2008-10-06T14:22:00.000-07:00

Oh where do I start! Aurora had such a fun time at Disneyland that the other night while saying prayers she said "Thank you to go to Disneyland." She talks about it at least once a day and by far Ariel and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was the best part. We went with Kresta, Trint's sister, and her 3 kids, Brooklyn, Gavin, Parker and Grandma. I think we rode every ride in Disneyland (maybe more than once) and alot in California Adventure. Most memorable moment was Jack Sparrow (Gavin) pooping his pants in pirates of the Caribbean not because he was scared but because he hadn't pooped in 3 days.

Loved the monkey leashes!

Me, Aurora and Parker. Aurora was a little bit worried of the dressed up things (besides the princesses) she warmed up to them but for the most part kinda stayed close to me. Parker just chilled and pretty much just went along with everything we did.
At this point our legs were tired but we weren't quiting until closing time so we sat here and waited to watch the tiki birds they were cute too! Oh and if your asking if that's a fanny pack on my waist yes it is. Janet had one too and let me just say they were awesome (mine was actually one of Trint's from his mission or high school I never got a clear answer) but it held my money my camera everything I needed I know we were gay.
She couldn't help it anymore and I am sure she is dreaming about all the things she is missing! I think out of the 4 days we were together this was the only nap she took.

Getting ready for Buzz and Woody!

Grandma let her pick out 2 things to buy, of course they were both Ariel dolls. One of them was actually a bad idea because yesterday she stuck one of the tiny shoes from the Ariel up her nose and by up her nose I mean I had to get a flash light to even see it. Luckily after Trint and Kim holding her down and me trying to get it with tweezers it came out not by me but by plugging the other nostril and making her blow! I guess when they say 3 and up it means 3 and up!

Dancing with the Princesses.

Watching the parade was the most exciting thing she just wanted to run out in the road the whole time to dance and when Ariel came she was beyond happy.

It was really such a fun trip Trint was sad it was just a girls trip, not really but he says that (I think he has been to Disneyland a dozen times once even after we were married and before we had Aurora). He'll go next time!

Nebo Creek!

2008-09-11T18:48:00.000-07:00

Over Labor day weekend we went to Nebo Creek camping/trailering and I gotta say its not one of my favorites only because I saw a snake.... yep that's right first I saw the tracks in the sand on the road, I yelled cusses and ran back to the trailer and then the next day while Trint and I were on a horse ride I saw the real thing so needless to say I stayed on the horse the entire ride! Snakes are the devil you know! Aurora has gotten warmed up to the horses I don't think she would last on a long ride but short ones she loves, she even went by herself with grandpa leading.
Grandma and Aurora caught Lizzy the lizard (that's whats in the bucket) at first they caught Lazy and it died so they made a burial for it and then some boys gave her Lizzy she just kept looking at it and getting excited. And at this point it was so hot that her and dad had taken off there pants (ok Trint just rolled his up) and got in the stream that was right next to us, that's why she looks like an orphan child.
Just chill'in!
As for now I am husbandless, Trint is up the mountain and staying there until he gets a big one.... Elk that is!

Washington

2008-09-05T10:20:00.000-07:00

This is Aurora picking Grandmas green tomatoes........
and then trying to eat them! We kept telling her not to pick the green ones so we saw her do it and I went over to get mad at her and she stuffed it in her mouth what a little sneek!

Washington

2008-09-05T10:07:00.000-07:00

Aurora and baby Halle, she is one of Auroras favorite people she is always so excited to see her and wants to hold her all the time.
This was for Brock's birthday he wanted a pinata and all the kids loved it. Aurora had a blast trying to hit it.
Waiting for the candy....
This is Aurora crying because she kept trying to run up and have another turn and so before she got whacked with the bat Trint had to hold her back
Finally she got her candy and kept yelling "Hooray"

Washington

2008-09-05T09:37:00.001-07:00

One of the things my family loves to do is go out to dinner, which is ciaos sometimes with 13 grandchildren but its always fun and something we enjoy as a family.
This is in my moms backyard, I should have taken a picture of the whole thing its like a secret garden I love all the green trees and endless lawn for the kids to have races on and of course the fire pit that we just hang out at!
Kryson got this little tea party table for her birthday and so the girls sat at that one night for hours just pretending to eat, every time we would look over at them they would have it moved in a different spot it was so cute watching them play.
Getting ready for our long trip home, 9 1/2 hours is all, Aurora was such a girl little travler too. I think the whole week with only one nap was what did it because the ride home she slept for about 8 hours of it.
My mom and dad, Allyson's kids and Aurora they weren't happy leaving, they had so much fun playing with Grandma and of course getting into all kinds of new things! Aurora and Grant thought that scooping dish soap out of the bucket and throwing it all over the floor was pretty hilerious.

It was such a fun trip this year everyone was there and all got to help out with harvest, as far as Kimberly and I go were still the best tractor drivers!

I know I know!

2008-08-28T20:42:00.000-07:00

Ok so last week we were in Washington and thats my excuse for not posting in a while. The bad thing is is that we've been home since Sunday and I still haven't posted anything but I think its because I have spent all my time looking at everyone else's blogs and catching up. We had such a fun trip to Washington for apple harvest with my family I think we spent more time eating than doing anything else which is always a fun time we had some good food too! Right now everything seems so busy for us number 1 on the list is Trint's big elk hunt he thinks he has to go and look for them every night and I'm like you understand that when your hunt starts in September they probably won't be in the same spot, whatever, he loves it. In 2 weeks I'm going back to Washington for a couple days, and then in a month when the boys are all hunting the girls are going to venture to Disneyland with all the kids! Its going to be fun and Aurora is already getting excited she has no idea what it is yet but when we talk about it she acts like its the coolest thing ever which it will be after she goes. And I actually really like it too so we can't wait! Anyways I will get some of our Washington pictures on here soon!

Trailer'in and wheel'in in Mayfield!

2008-08-08T10:52:00.000-07:00

After the 24th of July we went down to Mayfield and spent the weekend with Kim, Janet, Sara, Ricky, Adam, and Kim's sister Aunt Randy and Uncle Al
Aurora loves camping in Grandpa's trailer except for the sleeping part she thought everyone still wanted to play since we were all together and would have stayed up the whole night if she could have.
Dad let her reel in the fishing pole she could'nt quite get it down to turn in a circle but she did good considering she has no patience at all. We never caught anything but that never matters its just fun spending time together.
There was a big canyon behind the trees so Aurora and I took turns yelling because it made a pretty good echo and Aurora thought that was the funniest thing.

Trailer'in and wheel'in in Mayfield!

2008-08-08T10:12:00.000-07:00

Her favorite thing to do is ride the wheeler with dad and when hes not looking or paying attention she pushes the gas which is funny sometimes but not when I sitting on back and I almost fly off, I get pissed at Trint and then remember she's sitting on front.
She's not real happy about the helmet actually she's a little ticked but for the most part she left it on.
Gotta love the trees, Mayfield is always a favorite place to go and this year it rained a little bit so it made it not so dusty which was perfect. And the time it was raining we spent in the trailer playing Aunt Randy's wii fitness and whatever Sara kicked everyones trash.

This is Aurora's "what the hell" look she's trying to figure out where Uncle Al's ice cream went.

Happy 24th!!!

2008-08-04T10:20:00.000-07:00

ALL-TIME Winners!

2008-07-30T13:14:00.000-07:00

Yes that's right our pink team is all-time champs again (we have only done it once before our very first year we started the team)! It was a really fun year too we had some new players and then of course some of our originals.
Bit, Jessica, Lori, Janet, Carly, Heather, Jessi, Melissa, Kimberly, ME, Jalyce, Sara & Devon! And MIA is Kresta
This is the coveted Blue first place T-shirt, and this year they are actually pretty cute!
This is a picture of the guy telling us that we were the best team he's ever seen, just kidding he was taking our picture for the newspaper and trying to make us do poses that we didn't want to, I'm kidding again but he would have if he could have, am I right girls.

We ended up playing a team that we beat out the first round so we new we could beat them. We lost the first game that lasted 8 innings and they ended up walking there winning run in which was so annoying (they walked a lot). But since we were in the winners bracket they had to beat us twice so the second game we kinda dominated from right off and then Melissa made our winning catch with her eyes closed and a cute cheerleader hop right after. They were fun games though and there is no doubt that everyone had fun this year!
Some fun times this year....
-When I struck out and I was walking back to the dug out and Jessica was laughing at me and I told her to stop laughing even though it was really funny
-When Bit was playing second and caught a grounder and ran and tagged the girl running to second and then looked in her mitt and no ball
-Kresta's bunts to the third basemen that for some reason got her triples every time
-The first time that Devon threw the ball to me and I thought I was going to get pinned up against the dug-out
-When Carly told me that that if she had to run more than one base there was no doubt she was going to pee a little
There are so many more I will have to think about them and post more, but for now great job PINK TEAM!!!

ABC's

2008-07-21T09:36:00.000-07:00

This is Aurora doing her ABC's all by herself she has finally got them all down although I won't take credit for teaching her I think it was Elmo and Big bird that did the teaching. Her favorite thing to do is sing songs and she goes through phases right now she loves ABC's and "Book Of Morman Stories" 2 weeks ago it was "I'm a little teapot" oh how she makes us smile!

Boating all around town!

2008-07-12T12:52:00.000-07:00

Aurora having snacks with cousins Cade and Brock, this year she thinks its cool to wear her life jacket because Cade is.
Gotta love Utah Lake windy all day and then calm at night, well most of the nights.
My niece Stephy, Allyson, me and Kim.

Trint, me, Aurora and the wind! It has been fun this year becuase my dad bought a boat from a guy here in Utah and since it was here anyway we talked him into letting us keep it here for the summer. My brother bought a new Skurf board

that you skurf right behind the boat with and that has been our new obsession besides wakeboarding of course. The last time I went I was so close to the boat that the wave behind me pushed me right up on to the back of the boat it was nice I did'nt even have to get my hair wet! It has been alot of fun so far and since we go once a week or more I have finally got some what of a tan!

Summer time Swimming!

2008-06-30T11:20:00.000-07:00

Cousins Brooklyn & Gavin were here for the week so we went Swimming at Seven Peaks, it was a perfect day and Aurora could'nt have been happier her favorite was singing the "Tube'in" song and rid'in on the tube!

KITTY!!!....Where are you?!

2008-06-11T15:19:00.000-07:00

Aurora is in heaven because Grandma Harris sent her a new kitty. She has been wanting one for a long time now and she finally got one and she won't put the poor thing down. It is pretty dang cute too except for the meowing part. Although it has a special high pitch meow for when Aurora is holding it by the neck or squeezing it to hard. She really loves her though and at night she has to sing her "rock-a-bye baby."
I told her she had to be in charge of feeding her and making her go potty in the box and sure enough I found her holding the kittys head in the food bowl until it would eat something and not to be sure but I'm almost positive Aurora tasted some of the kitty's food too....oh well! And if anyone has any cute names let me know!

Swimming lessons!

2008-06-03T16:31:00.000-07:00

So I decided to do a mommy and me class with Aurora down at the city pool when I signed up there were a ton of places left that started the first week of June so I thought sweet. Well this week came and I found out why there was still so many spots available well becuase its still in the 60's and the think the water is the same temp as the air. Aurora was actually really good though she loved signing "wheels on the bus" and just did what all the other kids were doing so she is on her way to learning the breast stroke!

Weekend fun (cont.)

After laying the sod all morning Trint just had to go on a horse ride so we took a picnic up Payson canyon and relaxed for a minute and then Trint was off to spot for Elk.
Aurora had fun rid'in Ace with mom it did'nt last to long before she wanted to get off I could'nt blame her for how wide Ace is and how short Aurora is I'm sure it was'nt comfortable for her.

Weekend Fun!

Well this weekened we put our sod in and how nice it was to finally have some grass. Aurora can go outside with her shoes on for once and come back inside without having to take a bath first. We even got around to planting flowers in the flower beds to (after these pictures were taken).
It was really alot of work just kidding I did nothing but buy drinks and donuts for everyone that helped, oh and I got a roll of sod thrown at me by my Father-in-law!
What a hard working husband I have he would'nt even stop walking to pose for a picture. He has always got to be doing something.
Now this is our back yard... not quite ready for the sod. Trint is building a step down fireplace off the back porch so we have to wait until thats finished before we lay sod here.

Just a lazy sunday walk

Maggie was walking Janet and Aurora
And here are the boys, Trint was pulling Adam in the wheelchair with a tie-down it worked quite well until they decided to turn around and Adam hit the curb luckily no one was hurt... this trip at least.
This was right before she started running up a drive way and biffed it, just a couple of scraped knees was all.
Maggie and her master!
As for now Adam is out of the wheelchair and on to the crutches he is doing really good and I am sure will be back to four-wheeling sooner than we know it!

Ready OK!!!

Monkeys were her favorite part & grandma even bought her one for being such a good girl!

Going through the tunnel & holden on for dear life! Ridin the train with Gavin & Brooklyn!

I was proud because I was scared to even look at it. How would it be to be a kid again with no fear. All in all it was a great day at the zoo the weather was perfect the kids were great even though Aurora told Gavin to go to time out more than enough times. The monkey harnesses definatly one of the best investments for the summer!

Gotta love the ZOO!!!

Trint was out working on our lawn and of course Aurora was out there with him trying to help "shubull" as she calls it, when she spotted her dads Mountain Dew so she decided to take a break and have a sip! Then she says "YUM...OK!"

So Monday April 7th was Aurora's 2nd birthday! She was so excited and well pretty happy the whole day. I kept telling her that she could open presents but she really could'nt until her party that night but some how that wasn't registering with her. She had alot of fun though pushing everyone around I think she thought she could because it was her birthday but we all know thats just pretty much how she is......... which is like her dad for sure!
