Trip to Vegas

So this last weekend, I went down to Vegas to party. But not really party. Had a good time. There were about 10 of us that went.

I pulled my first, and most likely last, slot machine. I know, you're going to judge me, but I had to do it at least once. I won nothing...

Here's who all went:



As far as dates that you want posted, I'm not sure about that...maybe. Truth be told, I haven't been on any dates since the one with Janessa, and she shafted me anyways, so that's done and over with...

Typical night at our house

Here is another video of another typical night at our house.

Black Eyed Peas Tyson Dance

This is Tyson dancing to some Black Eyed Peas music. Thought Joel would like this since he's probably going to a ton of BYU dances at school.

Oh, BTW...we wanna see more pics of your dates and college life.

Ice Skating

So, yesterday evening was the date night. Went to Seven Peaks and ice skated. The date started late since we weren't able to get there until about 9:30 since my date had work. Her name is Janessa Reider. She's 4'11", fun, spunky. And no Janessa, it's brown hair.



We doubled with a buddy from my mission and his girlfriend. Good times.

Following the date, we went to Wendy's and had fries and a frosty. Then ended the night watching Nacho Libre at Josh's apartment.

So there you go...now ya'll have seen her.

New Toys at Grammie's!

I wish I had had 4 hands to video Tyson and how excited he was to play with the new toys while I was trying to get them out of their boxes! He kept saying how excited he was and this was so awesome! He kept jumping up and down so eager to play with the new cars and toys! I couldn't get them out of their boxes fast enough.

 

 

 

Arghhhh! I thought I had cleaned Corbin's face from his lunch!

 

I knew he wasn't clean when I took this pic. I gave him his poptart after he had been playing for awhile.

 

Tyson being silly for the camera.

 

Love these boys! It's always fun when they come play at Grammie's house! Just wish Josie was closer so she could join in on the fun!

Tyson talking

singing another song

Tyson loves to sing

Here is a song from Tyson to Joel...

Getting ready for a half

Janessa is in training for a half marathon that will be held at Bear Lake in June. It's way too cold to run outside right now so she has been coming over to run on the treadmill to keep up with her training. Way to go Janessa!

 

Rise and Shout

This one is for Joel! Thought you might like this video!

Janessa finished her 2 year quilt!

I think it is quilted and waiting for Janessa to pick it up from the quilter in Evanston. I am excited to see how it turned out. This quilt is made up of blocks from the last two years of the Block of the Month from Valley Fabric in Urie. Janessa decided that she didn't like all of her blocks so she decided to combine them together. They look great! I especially love the border around each block to tie each block together! Yea Janessa!

 

 

 

Snow and Fog at the cabin

Joel is wanting the blog to be updated.....anyone can add to it.....remember?! I haven't taken any new pics except these from the cabin. The lake did not freeze over this year. Last couple of trips over there we have had lots of fog, like the last 2 pics.

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Emily!

And just how old are you now????? :)

After dinner at Pizza Hut (Emily's choice), we went back to Emily's house for her to open our gifts.

Tyson had to show me how strong he is so of course I had to get a picture of him using his muscles!

 

Then I turned around and saw this munchkin....oh kill me! Is he not cute???!!!

 

Oh wait....now we know how old you are. Jason did a great job making the cake!

 

Pretty nice hubby Emily has! Aren't these 30 roses gorgeous?!

 

Singing Happy Birthday to the birthday girl.

 

and singing.....

 

now time to blow out 30 candles!

 

Emily was recently called to lead the music in Primary so we bought her this book to help give her ideas.

 

We also bought her a laptop desk so her new computer won't burn her legs when she uses it.

 

Happy Birthday Emily! Hope you had a great day!

Surprise! Joel showed up on our doorstep today!

Joel called this a.m. and said that he, Elder Alex Kim and Elder Geohagen were on their way to Lyman. Elder Geohagen baptized one of the missionaries that is serving in the Bridger Valley now so he wanted to come see him. Dad and I took everyone, plus Jason and Tyson to lunch....where?!.....of course it was Fiesta Guadalahara! I had a hamburger. LOL!

 

Tyson and Joel are buddies.

 

 

 

 

Slumber party

Guess who came and spent the night at grammie and grampie's house last night?!

 

She's 25!

On Monday, January 10, 1986 a little after 8 a.m. Janessa was born in the LDS hospital in Salt Lake. Here she is 25 years later enjoying manicotti, salad and rolls.

 

Tyson has gotten out of the craziness of not having his picture taken.....but now he makes silly faces when you snap the picture. LOL! Not sure if he thinks it is a smile or if he just wants to be silly.

 

Of course.....he might have gotten his silliness from his daddy.

 

On Saturday, dad and I were suppose to go to the BYU bb game in Provo. I decided to bring a cooler so we could buy Janessa a birthday cake from Cold Stone. Her favorite ice cream. We had a crazy day with not knowing where the car keys were and having to get a new key but still managed to find a Cold Stone to get this cake. Temps outside were below freezing so we probably didn't even need a cooler that day to bring it home!

 

Grampie showed Tyson what he use to do with his daddy, Janessa and the other kids when they were little. Tyson looks a bit nervous afterwards but after seeing what he does with his own daddy, I don't know why he was nervous with Grampie!!!


Tyson wanted to play party games at Janessa's party. He had his own birthday party on Saturday so I am assuming he played this with his friends. Thanks Tyson for the fun game!

Tyson has been afraid of "monsters" for awhile. I think he might be ok now since he has this story of how he booms them. We had to go look for monsters in the house and boom them....I think we got them all!

Now we are ready for Janessa to blow out the candles! It was hard to just get the 5 candles in a frozen cake so we opted to not try to push 20 more in the top.

 

 

Probably a good thing she didn't have to blow out any more!

Now on to the presents! Tyson was excited to see what Janessa got!

 

Corbin...not so much.

 

Just what Janessa asked for!

 

I don't think Tyson thought it was a good present. LOL!

 

Happy Birthday Janessa! Hope you had a great day!
