Whose bright idea was it to go to Red Cliffs in 120 degree heat :0/?

Photo opp rock cave

Hot mamas.

Happy hikers, Brityn and Taija.

It took us a long time to find the water. It had all dried up to a kiddie pool sized pond that looked less than sanitary.

It was a beautiful hike, though.

FINALLY! Water!!

Dace wanted to keep this "fossil" which turned out to be a dried up crawdad body part.

Jump!

Go Chan!

Look! Shrimp! And by shrimp, they mean crawdads.

Taija, Chloe, Boston, Channing, and Brityn

Chloe & Bost.

Natamber (as Dad would say)

Crew

Corbin and Dace trying to walk across the edge.

Beautiful ladies!

Aric's face kills me.

The outfielders look suh happy.

Proud of yourself for that Bud?

I guess so. :)

D looks a little anxious.

Pregnant lady and husband stayed home and watered flowers.

We had to rig up Brityn's seat belt. Anytime either of the other two moved it smashed her. It made for an interesting ride.

Little Mermaid at Tuachan was fantastic!!

Brityn, Channing, Chloe, Taija. We missed you Adri and Kodi!

Aut, Nat, and Adri put together a really fun scavenger hunt for the kids.
Taija, Brityn, Channing, Chloe, Kodi.

Boston, Dace, Corbin, Dagen.

Brityn, Taija, and baby Racen

Aut knocked down one whole panel of sunglasses off this display. Kind of funny. What an awesome job Aut did putting together another wonderful family reunion! We had a fantastic time!

Mom and Dad's Deck Surprise!!

2011-04-05T10:05:00.000-07:00

This is video of Mom and Dad coming home to a brand new Trex Deck! They could hardly believe it. Mom didn't realize that there was a new deck for several seconds, she just was so happy that we were all there, then she finally realized that we were standing on the new deck! (SKIP TO 1 minute) Sorry it's sideways :(

MOMS BIRTHDAY

2010-11-16T10:06:00.000-08:00

Thought that since I messed up and couldnt get skype to work that I would record a little bit of moms Birthday party, ok so just the Happy Birthday song, for those that werent there to watch..so here it is. We were sad that everyone couldnt be there. Maybe one day we will all live around the same block with our backyards all joining together!!!:) Wouldnt that be the life.

Halloween

2010-11-16T09:05:00.000-08:00

I know everyone wanted to see moms cute Halloween costume this year. You always think it cant get any better than the one she has on, but the next year it does, thanks to Darlene.

What to do?

2010-07-19T10:53:00.000-07:00

I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on drawing names for Christmas. I know it can get a little pricey for shipping and sometimes it doesn't get there. So I was just wondering what you all wanted to do. Leave comments and let me know what you think or if you have any other ideas on what we could do instead of doing actual gifts.

We're Having What?

2010-05-20T18:48:00.000-07:00

Chloe: Mom, what are we having for dinner tonight?

Me: German Pancakes

Chloe(with a worried look on her face): What? Germs and Pancakes? We have to have pancakes with germs on them?

Ryan has been sick for several days so there's been a lot of talk about germs so germs must have been fresh on her mind.

Easter races!!

2010-04-09T14:36:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun at Easter over at mom and dads. Mom and Dad made up a Scavenger Hunt and then we had races on these little cars. Later that night we all played games. Thanks mom and dad for making the day special. FYI--dont laugh too hard at us. Your turn is coming!! (Hint Hint--the family reunion)

Here were some of the clues to the Scavenger Hunt. Can you guess any? Good Luck.
1. Amber made it out alive
2. Can't go anywhere yet, we need to "stop".
3. Kari made a bad mistake messing with me.
4. The bean bag saved Age here.
5. Brityns favorite thing to sit on while it was going when she was little.
6. After a bad injury, Scotty pants made us look brand new.
7. Lone Rangers horse.
8. Make sure you do 200 every day.
9. Last year Ryan single handedly ripped everyone of my appendages off and left me barren.
10. Lets water the garden the old fashioned way.

2010-03-09T06:55:00.000-08:00

Over the Christmas break we went sledding up at the Jr. High. We had so much fun. Even mom and dad went down the hill!! Crew just sat back and observed while Taija, Dace and occasionly Bronx took turns going down the hill. After we were done we had to go back to mom and dads where there was Hot Chocolate waiting for us. YUM!!

I thought I had a video of mom also going down the hill, but no such luck. Just Dad.

2010-02-26T20:17:00.000-08:00

I know these are a few months old, but I thought some of you might like to see some pictures of the tile project. We had such a blast doing it, and were sad that everyone wasnt here to join in on the fun. This wouldn't have happened without everyones help, near or far, so thankyou all. Sorry to Aut, I don't have 1 picture of you, even though you were there to help. I dont know what happened. Sorry again.

The Tile Surprise!!

2010-02-26T14:10:00.000-08:00

A New Years Miracle!!!!!!!!

2010-01-13T21:06:00.000-08:00

I know you have all been waiting for this day as long as I have! And now its finally here! We thank you Behling family for making this miracle possible!!!

Fashion

2010-01-08T08:51:00.000-08:00

The other morning I asked Chloe to get dressed. Several minutes later I went to check on her and she was in the closet with the door closed. She said, "Mom, don't look. I really want to wear this but I think you're going to say no."

How could I say no.

Rocket Launch

2009-12-25T13:03:00.000-08:00

Everyone had a blast!

Can we do it again!????

2009-12-02T07:56:00.000-08:00

It is the best reaction! It was so great to be there, they were so surprised! :)

Wish lists

2009-09-30T09:06:00.000-07:00

I was wondering if everyone would be willing to post a little wish list for each kiddie in your family. I thought it might help us pick out gifts for them if we knew what they wanted. If you already have something in mind, or if you choose not to get items on the list, that is PERFECTLY FINE!!! But, I thought it might help steer us in the right direction.

My New Room

2009-08-08T05:50:00.000-07:00

As you can see from the previous post, we had a blast with Tiffany and the kids here in Houston. Between our many trips to Sheriee's to swim, our adventure to the Children's Museum, our attempt to have a picnic in the park on a HOT and HUMID day in July, our shopping day at Kohl's, our puppet shows, and the delicious ice cream tasting event, Tiffany helped me redecorate my room. I had every intention of taking before pictures but realized I didn't after the room was put together. These few videos are the only pictures I have of our room. Notice the peach walls, the rust colored comforter, and the blue/brown curtains (what an awful combination). It was in despereate need of a makeover.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I'm still working on a few details. I need something bigger above the bed but haven't found just the right thing yet. So if you have a room that's in need of a makeover, you know who to call.

Thanks Tiff!

Houston

2009-08-01T12:57:00.000-07:00

Me, Corb, Sweet Pea, and Bostie, went to see these cutie pies last week! Here are a few highlights:

Chloe: I think those flowers need some watering

Flowers: Mmmm, chlorine water. *choke*, "gasp!"

Sherie was nice enough to let us use her pool several times. She even made snow cones for the kids.

Bring me a goblet of something refreshing to drink!!

Sword fight. The ladies were dressed as princesses and were cheering them on from the sidelines.

Corbin thought the order of these next 2 pictures was hilarious. He wanted me to make sure and include this on the post:

Here's mom doing all the work.....

while Aunt Amber takes it easy! (In reality we know that is absolutely NOT TRUE!!)

We went to Kohl's. We paired up the kids and told them they could explore the store. They were so excited.

Brityn and Channing off to see what they could see.

Corbin had Chlo and Bostie trapped like rats in a shopping cart.

Things were going so smoothly, until an older lady came up to Corbin and told him the store wasn't a playground and the shopping carts weren't toys. This took the wind out of their sails & scared them to death, and so we left shortly after that to go eat at chick-fil-a. Low and behold who is also eating there? The mean lady!! I really wanted our kids to run back and forth passed her booth yelling and being obnoxious, but I decided to be the bigger person and let the poor women just observe our circus from a distance.

Nap time? Yeah right.

Puppet show with plastic spoons and pipe cleaners. Amber is so creative

Children's Museum:

Chlo trying to choke down Tiffs Famous Spinach Potatoes:

Trying really hard not to gag.

Still there.

Then she spits the bite out into her had and says: I just can't. This is........this is really gross.

Cracked me up! I don't think Amber was amused.

We had a really fun time. There was also a hilarious incident involving a squirrel, but that really needs to be told in person. Thanks Amber for a great time!

Good times

Next up, Brityn.

See this Musk ox's horns? I casually mentioned that this is what my bangs look like when my hair air dries right out of the shower. No one disagreed, and everyone laughed and nodded. Next thing I knew this was posted on the bathroom door!

Sleep over at Grandma Streams: (left to right) Dagen Cottam, Corbin Wade, Boston Wade, about 10 of Dace's stuffed animals, Dace Behling, Taija Olsen, Taija's carebear that she got at the price D.I., Brityn's teddy bear, Brityn Wade, Brityn's red teddy bear (which has a round badge on the front that says "Jillian's all you can eat, drink and play) that she got at the D.I. in price, & Kodi Cottam.

*Dace told Corbin and me, "I didn't really want to do a sleep over because I will miss my dad, so I'm just doing this for all you kids."

Corbin, Brityn, and Dace at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house.

Me and my kids, (minus Boston who stayed to play with Dagen at Grandma's house) got to attend the open house. It was so beautiful!! The kids were very reverent and had lots of questions.

Aut and Dace. Dace originally didn't feel like going but about half way through our tour he said: "Mom, I changed my mind. This is beautiful!"

Thanks everyone for making it such a fun trip, and for taking time out of your busy schedules to spend some time with the kids and me. It really means a lot to us. Love you all!

When we got to the bathroom he didn't want to come in because it stunk REALLY BAD! I couldn't leave him out there by himself, so I had to bring him in with us. He immediately broke out in tears becasue of the smell. The poor kid stood in the corner with his nose plugged, begging and pleading with me to leave. What a "fun walk"!

Hey I found these on the childrens place website and they are only 8 dollars. I was wondering what you guys thought about them for the wedding instead of the other dresses? They also have a pink wrap that we can put over white shirts. The tops are also 8 and I think 7 for the little girls. Let me know what you think?

Dace Behling, Channing Staub, Brityn Wade, Corbin Wade, Kodi Cottam, Dagen Cottam, Taija Olsen

Shortly after this picture was taken, Corbin and Brityn decided to push down on one side of the pool to send a rushing river out of it. Dace got caught in the current and went rolling out across the grass. He hopped up and said, "That was kinda scary, huh Mom!"

Kodi, Taija, & Chloe

Kodi's favorite part of the day was: "When I went swimming and almost drowned because I sat down on the "flowa" (floor) of the swimming pool.

Brityn Wade, Dagen Cottam, Chloe Staub, Kodi Cottam & Taija Olsen

Brityn's favorite part was: "When I went diving in the pool and all my friends got in."

When Boston would get a hit, he would run fast (to random places) and dive headfirst into the grass, bringing him to a screeching halt.

What's in a box?

2009-04-12T15:17:00.000-07:00

We came home from Easter vacation, to find a package from Grandma on our doorstep! The kids new exactly what it was before they even got close enough to examine it.

These were their favorite things:

Corbin couldn't pick his favorite thing. So he organized everything and told me to take a picture of it all.

Boston was VERY excited about his $5 birthday money! He also picked up the OREOS and said, "Well, here's breakfast, huh Mom."

Brityn loved her little stationary purse. Especially the little pen.

1 Easter box from Grandma means:

*I can get the kids to unload the whole car without complaints, BY THEMSELVES!

*The kids will unpack their clothes AND put them away AND clean their rooms!

Thanks mom!

Wedding Weekend

2009-04-05T16:02:00.001-07:00

Family,
I'm trying to get an idea of everyone's plan for the weekend of the wedding. Tiff, are you planning on going to Huntington or will you stay in Salt Lake? Are we all planning on staying somewhere Friday night after the reception? If so, I would love to plan something for us all to do on Saturday. I thought it could be as simple as going up the canyon, or maybe we could go to Park City? Let me know what you think and if you have any other ideas.
I'm getting excited to come home for a visit again and the girls can't wait to play with all the cousins and hang out at Grandma and Grandpa's.

Good News!!!!!!!!

2009-02-26T18:45:00.000-08:00

Jared Barnes finally called me back! He said he will hopefully have it done by the end of this week! Yay! He is going to do a 16x20 so I am soooo excited! I will for sure keep you all posted!

I'm Coming to Utah

2009-02-05T20:02:00.001-08:00

Hey family,
The girls and I are coming next week for a little visit. We will fly in Thursday or Friday and we'll be to Huntington for sure on Friday then we'll stay until Sunday the 22nd. We can't wait to see everyone. I haven't told the girls yet, just in case the tickets fall through. We are off to the lake house tomorrow for the weekend and as I was packing Channing's stuff she was disappointed we weren't packing bags for Utah, so she will be on cloud 9 when I tell her next week that we ARE going to Utah. Both girls really want to play in the snow so get ready for another sledding trip.
Love you all,
Amber

For Taija

2009-01-28T03:48:00.001-08:00

Michael and Kylee got engaged! The wedding is planned for May 8th in the new Draper, Utah Temple. We are so excited! Congratulations guys!

Sledding

2009-01-22T08:56:00.001-08:00

I know that Meesha and Aut have posted pictures and videos on their blog from our sledding trip but I have some also that I wanted to put on mom and dads blog. Hope nobody minds looking at more.

Craft Weekend!

2009-01-06T07:55:00.000-08:00

I know not everybody will be able to come but I am really wanting to have a craft weekend at moms. I have a three day weekend in February. We have the 16th off for Presidents day. In April we have break for Easter on the eighth. Let me know what your schedules are. I might be able to take a friday off or something.

Who knew we had such talented hula hoopers!!!

2009-01-01T12:11:00.000-08:00

This is Natalie and Autumn doing Hula Hoop at Grandma and Grandpa Streams. They were tryingto beat Scotts score or 311. Autumn ended up beating it with a score or 319 and it has yet to be beat again. It was so much fun and we are glad we caught the victory on camera:)

The ultimate wave pool

2008-12-31T15:43:00.000-08:00

So, we are headed on vacation tomorrow morning and the kids are very excited. We are heading to Puerto Rico. We were asked all sorts of questions but the first question that was asked (come to think of it, it's one of the first questions they always ask) was by Brityn:

"Dad do they have a wave pool there?"
"Yeah......, it's called the ocean Sweet Pea."
"Woohoo!"

All they need to be happy is a wave pool. They talk about the wave pool by Grandmas, and the one at seven peaks all the time. As long as the destination includes a wave pool they are thrilled.

Oops

2008-11-14T13:19:00.001-08:00

I meant to post the previous post on my blog. So it is on both, sorry.

Is it working now?......Good now stay there!

2008-11-14T12:56:00.000-08:00

So, I am pretty frustrated with my computer at home. Well it's not really our computer, its the internet. We share internet with our next door neighbors and we pay them 20 bucks a month for it. Sometimes when it isn't working so well he won't let us pay him (which is SOOO nice of him). So for the past 3 months we haven't had to pay him! Let me give you an experience Scott and I go through when we try to get on and navigate the internet.
Last night we wanted to order some pizza for dinner from Papa Murphy's. We didn't know what kind of pizza they had and didn't want to sit on the phone while they rattled them off to us. So we just thought, we will look on the internet for a good kind of pizza and also print off a $2 off coupon. It is about 8:30 (because we have night classes and don't eat til late) and Papa Murphy's closes at 9. We try to get on the internet and what d'ya know, the internet isn't working. Now there are certain spots in the room that if you stand there, the signal is better (I don't know how and why we figured this out). This time the signal was really good if I stood on top of a chair right to the side of the computer with my arms waving in the air. So while I stood on top of the chair, Scott searched for a pizza that sounded good. My arms were getting tired so I put them down........and the internet stopped working. GOSH DANG IT!! The $2 dollar coupon page "failed to open" and it was getting closer to 9:00. So I raised my hands back in the air while Scott opened the $2 off coupon page. I asked him how it was working and he said, "Good, now stay there" (Here I am standing on top of a chair with my arms waving in the air.) The page opened up and we hurried and printed it off. We called it in and ran down the road a little way to get it just in time to see them wiping up the counters and cleaning everything up. Phew!
The pizza was good and I think we are going to get our own internet so we don't have to play a guessing game and look ridiculous dancing around the room trying to find a good signal.

Pets.....

2008-11-07T18:28:00.000-08:00

I guess the older the kid the more pets they remember. So here is my list

Lady

Callie (the calico cat who I believe mothered.......)

Who am I missing?

Flicker Pictures

2008-10-27T06:09:00.000-07:00

Amber sent me these pictures so that I could finish up the DVD, and I thought these were just too funny to wait to show everyone. Pick a kid and scroll through the pictures. Soooo funny!! Thanks Amber!

New Blogger!!!

2008-10-11T20:40:00.000-07:00

At home

2008-10-02T13:40:00.000-07:00

Bronx was able to come home on Saturday! He is doing really well. They have to keep him on oxygen to help his little lungs develop. But everyone is so happy to have him home and doing well!

Updated photo of Bronx

2008-09-25T14:20:00.000-07:00

Today is Thursday and Bronx is no longer wearing that breathing mask. He is improving everyday

New baby in the family!

2008-09-25T07:24:00.001-07:00

Bronx Olsen was born Sunday September 21, 2008. He was a month early and weighed 5 lbs. 13 oz. and was 19 in. long. His lungs weren't quite developed all the way so they put this mask on him to help him breathe. He is doing so well and improving every day. So CONGRATULATIONS Nat, Aric, and Taija for a newest member of the family.

Houston, We have a Problem!!

2008-09-19T05:15:00.000-07:00

Ok so here we are at Friday and still no power. It has been 7 days, for those of you who might be counting, or maybe that's just me. I am so anxious to get back into my own house. Everyday I drive into my neighborhood to check and all I have to do is roll down my window and listen. If I hear the loud roar of generators it's a no go. Maybe today is my lucky day.

I still have no access to my computer/internet so I won't be able to post pictures for a while, but I'm using Sheriee's computer to give you all an update on how we are.
Ryan went back to work yesterday and he said the place was empty. One of his co-workers had a tree fall in on his house. I know we are very blessed to have escaped with as little damage as we did.

As soon as my email is back up I will email you all me new address, phone#, and email address.

Thanks for all your calls of concern. We love you all.

2008-08-19T07:54:00.000-07:00

I thought that it would be a good idea to give you all a preview of some of Jared's work. Jared Barnes is the artist that is going to do the picture. For those of you who do not know Jared is in our ward here in Cedar City and has offered to do this for us at a discounted price. He has a website that you can check out some of his work. The website is www.jaredbarnes.com on the right side of the home page click on Jared's PRINTS/POSTERS.

Something Special...

2008-08-14T09:25:00.000-07:00

Hey I talked to the guy that does the paintings and he said he could do it for us. I am so excited! I just thought that this could be something that is a little comforting for Mike and Montica! I think he said he was going to do something like Jesus holding Brennan's face, kind of like the primaty one you see everywhere! If you would like to go in on it...let me know. You can just do whatever you can. Even ten dollars would be great! Also if anyone has any pictures of Brennan they can send or e-mail they would be really great also. He said he needs as many as we can round up! Thanks!

Oh grate!

2008-08-05T13:45:00.001-07:00

This thing was irresistable for some odd reason! We all got an up close look at how a cattle guard works. There were actually 3 incidents. Dace fell through twice. Maybe the cows think like the kids do...."if I could just slide my little hoofs along the metal slats..." then kablam! They are up to their knees in cattle grate.

Candy Bomb!

A lesson to remember!

2008-07-28T06:57:00.000-07:00

So on the 24th of July some of my girlfriends and I went to Bear Lake. We rented Jetski's, layed out on the beach, and played in the water with my friends dog. The jetski's were so much fun. I had a blast up there. On our way back to Ogden my friend and I realized how sunburned we were. Parts of our bodies were almost purple because of exposure to the sun. I had put sunscreen on my face, my head, and my shoulders, but not my arms, legs, or chest. We were in soo much pain. I had to hurry and get ready to go to a friends house (Scott's cousins wife's parents house) to watch the fireworks that were being set off at lagoon (They have a great view from their house). Their whole family was there waiting for the fireworks. We talked to everyone for a little bit and all of the sudden I felt nauseous like I was going to puke. So Scott and I sat down on the grass while we talked to the family and waited for the fireworks to start. The fireworks started and we stood up to go sit down on the chairs so we could see the show. I sat down and I felt really light headed. I said to Scott, "I'm gonna pass out" I layed my head on his shoulder and I passed out! I have never ever ever passed out, I get really light headed but I never pass out. This time I did for about 15-20 seconds. I woke up to Scott yelling my name and patting my cheek and everyone gathered around me. I immediately said "I'm fine I'm fine." Then I passed out again for about 5 seconds!!! Scott scooped me up and took me over to lay on the grass. I woke up and I felt dizzy but not nauseous. I told them I was going to be fine but the mom said that she had called 911 and the ambulance was on the way. GREAT!! She tried to call and cancel but once you call they have to come. Scott and the dad held me by my arms and took me inside to lay on the couch. Now I expected a couple EMT's but there were not only 3 EMT's but a fire cheif, and 2 more cops who were also paramedics. so there were about 6 guys gathered around me trying to take my vitals (my blood pressure was low) and asking me questions such as, "Are you pregnant?" "Is there a possibility you are pregnant?" "Are you trying to get pregnant?" all of these pregnant questions. The answer to all of these questions was "No" They took my vitals a few times and told me and insisted that I needed to go to the hospital whether by Scott or by ambulance, which I thought was SO unnecessary because I was feeling a lot better. They all thought that I was pregnant and there might be complications from that, which I couldn't really rule out because I was waiting for that time of the month any day now. I was finally stable enough for them to leave and Scott and I went home at about midnight which was one hour after the EMT's left. The next day we went to the doctor on campus. He took my vitals
and had me do a urine sample. The results were back! I was NOT pregnant and there was no infection, I had just been in the sun for too long and was a little dehydrated and when I stood up to go sit down at the fireworks I did get light headed, but there was no blood that could rush to my head to recover because it was all in my arms and legs from my sunburn.
SO, always, always, ALWAYS put sunscreen on EVERYWHERE, or else!!!

Pizza

2008-07-18T11:26:00.000-07:00

So for food one night I have an idea to have pizza. This can either be BK's pizza that will be free with Mom and Dad's fuel cards, or I have a pizza stone and we can make homemade pizza. I think it will be fun for everyone to make a pizza. The pizza will only take 5 minutes to cook once the pizza stone is warmed up. The adult can conglomerate their own couple of pizzas, and then the little kids can make their own personal little pizza. we would have to pay for the ingredients, and the BK's pizza would be cheaper, but I think this would be funner. I just need to know everyones input on this!

Reunion

2008-07-14T23:23:00.000-07:00

Hey I was working on getting the talent show stuff together for the reunion. I was wondering if everybody could let me know what their children are doing.....you don't have to be specific, just a genre would be fine, ex; singing a song, performing a dance or piano piece. Please get them to me as soon as possible. You can email me or just comment on this post. Mom and Dad, I thought it would be good if you guys could maybe sing? Stevie maybe you could sing or play something too? I think it would be a good idea for some of the adults to do things too. Also Scott I am putting you and Joe down for a little unicycle something? Let me know! If anyone has any other ideas please share them with me.

Antique Photo

2008-05-29T21:22:00.000-07:00

I was rummaging through some old pictures and came across this unmarked photo. I was wondering if anybody knows: Stream side or Leonard side?

To All The Stream Girl Cousins....

2008-05-29T08:05:00.000-07:00

I was talking with Kodi trying to plan her birthday party. I asked her who she wanted to invite. She said a few friends and then started naming all the cousins. So instead of sending invitations to all, I thought I would just do this. I know some of you can't come and we totally understand. I just wanetd to let you all know that you are invited! It is going to be on the 19th of June. It is a Thursday.

Ah, the memories

2008-05-29T06:58:00.000-07:00

First let me apologize about the quality of the photos. I came across a few pictures I thought I would share as I was cleaning out my "stuff" boxes. The first is a before shot from the infamous video of all of us falling down Grandma's stairs. It looks like Amber was the one who caught it all on tape! Let's point out a few highlights: Nat, always with the colored socks! At least when there was a package of socks purchased, the purple and turquoise got just as many turns as the white and black. Notice Stevie's face: a little bit of an actor if I do say so myself, and are those pink short he has on? Autumn and Age, loved those polka dot outfits! This event still brings a smile to my face!

Next we have the picture of a reconnaissance mission. The only one missing from the picture is Moq. Where were you Moq? I believe this was Easter (notice the candy bags, although I am shocked Ryan has anything even left in his baggie), and the majority of the family was on their way back from California? The car broke down, and several of us had to come and rescue the stranded family. Smashing bibs Joe. You know those were hand me downs, that he was just praying would be his one day.

Do any of you have pictures you would like to share? Age in particular, something with a bonnet on it?

IT'S A BOY!

2008-05-27T19:13:00.001-07:00

Nat & Aric are having a boy!! We are so excited! That means 3 boy cousins all the same age. Congratulations!

A Must Read

2008-05-23T18:37:00.001-07:00

For those of you who have not watched the news seen Oprah or even surfed the internet lately let me introduce you to Randy Pausch. Randy was a professor of computer science at Carnegie Melon University. He was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer and only given a few months to live. He was asked to give a "last lecture" at his university. He decided to give his lecture on achieving childhood dreams. Anyway I was introduced to this book and his last lecture at work. Soon after I read his book "The Last Lecture" I read it in like a day I could not put it down. So anybody who is looking for a great read I highly recommend this book. It has to be good for me to learn how to use this blogging thing to recommend it. If you really enjoy it let me know. Also, Randy is still alive he recently spoke at the Carnegie Melon commencement and his next goal is to make it to Fathers Day to spend it with his three kids. I guess I can say after reading this book I truly have been counting my blessings.

Baby Crew is here!

Recipes

2008-05-13T14:59:00.000-07:00

I am trying to make a menu for the next month or two! I need all the recipes I can get! Anything will do, grilled cheese sandwiches will even do. I really do enjoy cooking, it's the coming up with the idea part that I dislike. When I have compiled my menu I will share it with those who would like.

A Note to the Parents

2008-05-13T07:15:00.000-07:00

Mom and Dad:

We would sure like to hear your comments on our blogs. The kids would too. They look at the pictures and read the comments as well. I'm threatening to say some more mean stuff about John Denver and possibly Marty Robbins if you don't start commenting.

My cleaning and organizing must haves!

2008-05-09T10:31:00.000-07:00

I thought I would share a few of the things that make my life easier. I would love to hear what makes your life easier too!

I have this dry erase calendar board in my kitchen (it's also magnetic). Every family member is assigned a different color so that it makes it easy for them to see their weekly schedule.

These clorox drop in tablets are placed in the toilet tank. It keeps your bowl clean for weeks at a time, and really cuts down on scrubbing! Just be careful if you have little hands that still like to swish around in the toilet!

These wipes I cannot do without! I have them under each sink in the house. The kids are expected to wipe down their sinks and toilets each morning (this really cuts down on my scrubbing time). Also great for counters, doorknobs, lightswitches. Anywhere that kids get germs. You can get different brands that aren't as expensive, and they also have them in bulk at Costco.

A lady in my ward recently told me she organizes her whole closet with these cascading hanger organizers. She hangs a pair of pants or a skirt and then all the shirts, jackets, etc. she wears with the pants above it on the same hanger organizer. So it makes it really simple to find an outfit to wear. Each organizer has 2-5 outfit possibilities. It also really cuts down on closet space. You could also just organize it by clothing type: all pants, all short, all T-shirst, etc. I haven't tried this one yet, but I'm going to. I am going to do Brityn's closet as well to cut down on mismatched outfits she puts together. You can get these at amazon.com, but they might even have them at Walmart or Target.

What are your must haves?

3D PICTURES

2008-04-28T16:43:00.001-07:00

This is the best picture that we got of the baby! Its kind of hard to tell exactly

where he is in the picture! I outlined his face and then circled where his eye is!

They say he looks like Bart Simpson with the big lip and small chin! But I think he

is adorable and can't wait for him to be here!!

2008-04-23T18:20:00.000-07:00

Our Grandpa
One of the best memories of grandpa was the same as Wads. He would take us to piano in the blue cordova with white leather seats. Although it would take us honestly about 30-35 to get to Orangville to piano I loved it when he was able to take us, he would always make sure there was a treat for us either before or after. No wonder we are all the way were are about snacks huh!!
I also loved going just talking to Grandpa. He was always genuinally concerned about how we were doing and what our families were up to. He very rarely forgot a birthday, or holiday. I too looked forward to birthday cards from him. He accomplished much in his lifetime ,and as you all know was an extremly smart man, but yet he was so humble about it. I am so gratful to be able to have had such a wonderful Grandfather .

Grandpa

2008-04-21T10:40:00.000-07:00

Grandpa was so easy to talk to because there wasn't a whole lot he didn't know everything about. He could talk to anyone about anything. He was extremely witty. He used to save airplane magazines for Kevin and went out of his way to have treats and a picnic table set up for my kids when we visited. I looked forward to not only my birthday but also my kids birthdays. He never forgot! The envelopes were always addressed in perfect block lettering and the envelope was completely sealed shut with tape (perfectly placed along the flap of the envelope).

I remember when he came to visit when we were young. We got excused from school and had a fun time up the canyon. I never remember Grandpa being pessimistic or ornery. He was always smiling and telling us how good it was to see us.

Of all of Grandpa's greatest accomplishments I am so grateful to him for a wonderful Dad who I know has inherited some of his greatest attributes. I love thinking how Grandpa must be so happy reconnecting with friends and family that have passed on, and being free from the gravity of this life.

Memory of Grandpa

2008-04-21T08:57:00.000-07:00

I remember Grandpa taking us to piano also, but after piano was over he always had a treat for us. He would go down to food ranch and but a little candy bar for us. I also remember him always bringing us popcicles, he still did this when I was older and moved away. I would go home and find about 5 bags of popcicles and a few jars of pickles that he would bring over...YUM! Those are good times to remember.

Memories of Grandpa...

2008-04-20T20:52:00.000-07:00

I thought it might be nice if we all wrote a memory or two about Grandpa Don. Use a post and not a comment so that we can all see them right on the home page.

My memory of Grandpa is when he would come pick us up in his baby blue Cordoba and take us to piano. I could hardly see out the windows in the back seat. I also remember always volunteering to take his dinner over because we almost always would get to stay and play Go Fish, or Old Maid, and the best part...Swiss cake rolls!!!

Best Makeup Ever!

2008-04-08T12:53:00.000-07:00

I have been trying for years, especially since moving out here, to find a foundation that will not melt off my face and that looks natural. Autumn told me about this awesome skin care/make-up product that I had seen infomercials for. I have gotten burned before ordering things off the TV. I finally came to the conclusion that if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. But, since Aut had such success with it I decided to try it. I love it! I have the starter kit right now, but you can add to it as you want to. It is actually good for your skin, and it is waterproof! No more melting in the humidity! If you want to know a little more about it check out it out. It's called Bare Minerals.

Blog Backgrounds!!!

2008-04-04T20:53:00.000-07:00

Okay all... I actually "made" my back ground. I am still new at it but if you want to learn how, call me and I will try to walk you through it. It is way easy. I love it because it is limitless to what you can do!

Dear Ry

2008-04-01T18:51:00.000-07:00

Ry-

I have a long explanation as to why there is no picture of you on this blog! Seems as though no one really knows how to run their scanners or their scanners are broken. Nat's scanner was broken, and so I had asked Mom and Dad to send me a picture. After I had begged for a picture of you to scan into my computer (at the time I had no scanner) I finally bought a scanner. Then try as I might, I could not get the picture to scan into the computer. I was in the process of sending the picture to Adri to see if she could get it to work. So if you have any pictures you could email me instead of scan into the computer that will work! I also need your email address so that I can put you onto this sight (then you will be able to post messages and leave comments!). Yeah! I am so excited you are going to blog with us. That stinkin' message on your phone got me good.

Boys try out the unicycle

2008-03-28T16:11:00.000-07:00

This was so funny to watch. Scott brought his unicycle down and all the boys wanted to ride it. They all thought is was as easy as it looks. So Jake (the natural born athlete) hops on and biffs it. He then suggested they maybe should go out back on the grass. Joey and Stevie came out to join. This first picture is of Scott trying to coach Jake while Stevie and Joey watch. Then Stevie had a try at it. No luck. He totally biffs it too. Joey wanted to try it and he too could barely get on the thing. All of them were bound and determined to suceed. So they tried to hold on to each other until they got the hang of it. Nope, no such luck. In the background of the one picture you can see Dace with a nerf football. He threw it and it hit Joey and made him fall off and Stevie gets a good laugh out of it. Just after I took the picture of Joey on Scotts back, they crashed and Joey went flying off. It was a really fun to watch.

A Cruising We Will Go!

2008-03-26T15:59:00.000-07:00

Ryan and I leave tomorrow on a 4-night cruise. We are really excited. Vern and Sheriee will have the girls, which works out perfectly. Channing is still confused about the whole idea of us sleeping, eating, and playing in the pool on a big boat. The only boat she has been on is the boat at the lake house, so there is a little difference in size that she still can't fathom. She keeps asking questions like...Where are you going to sleep? Do they have plates, cups, and spoons and forks for you to eat with? And most importantly, Will they have snacks for you guys?
We can't wait for all the delicious food and snacks they will have for us.
Stay tuned for cruise pictures next week.

The Importance of Family

2008-03-24T14:07:00.000-07:00

Our lesson yesterday in Young Women's was about the importance of the family unit. It made me reflect on our family unit and how grateful I am to be part of it. We were raised by loving parents who have strong testimonies of the gospel and have always taught us to choose the right. They instilled in us the importance of loving each other and being supportive of one another, and the importance of staying close as siblings. We have all been through different trials at different times in our lives and I think we can all say that the strength we have felt from family members praying for us, fasting for us, and unconditionally loving us has buoyed us up.
That being said, I feel that there is one of our family members that REALLY needs to know that we care, that we are thinking about him, and that we haven't forgotten him, Jesse. He is at a point in his life where our communication with him is critical. He needs to know that he is part of the strong family unit that we have. I'm sure he often feels depressed and alone and wonders about all of us. Let's let him know we are here for him. If you haven't written him lately it only takes a few minutes to sit down and write a short letter.
His address is:
Jesse Stream #40732
ELM 210T
Central Utah Correctional Facility
P.O. Box 550
Gunnison, UT. 84634

Elder M. Russell Ballard said this,
"Crisis or transition of any kind reminds us of what matters most. In the routine of life, we often take our families—our parents and children and siblings—for granted. But in times of danger and need and change, there is no question that what we care about most is our families! It will be even more so when we leave this life and enter into the spirit world. Surely the first people we will seek to find there will be father, mother, spouse, children, and siblings."

I love you all and love being a part of this family.

Where are we....Kansas?

2008-03-15T07:15:00.001-07:00

Well we were narrowly missed by a tornado last night that hit downtown Atlanta pretty hard. With Kevin being gone, I was scared to death. It moved east instead of south, so we did not get hit. It happened around 9:30 and I was glued to the television until around 1:00 a.m. I just knew that the minute I closed my eyes they would issue a tornado warning for our area. Anyway, we are all okay, there were injuries up north but no deaths. They are supposed to be more storms on their way this afternoon. Kevin doesn't get back into town until tomorrow night so we are on our own for 2 more days! Yikes! I will keep you posted.

YYYEEEAAHHH!!

2008-03-13T10:47:00.000-07:00

So, I have a new calling! I have been called to be the 1st counselor in the YW presidency! I am really excited but a little nervous because they have not found anyone to backfill my current three callings. I will be doing all of it for a little while. However, I am excited to see a light at the end of the tunnel as far as "ward music lady" is concerned. I am going to be over the miamaid class which consists of 8 girls. They are all active which is a blessing. I am thrilled I am going to have a whole panel of people to get ideas from (that means all of you reading this)! I am going to be responsible mainly for the activity side of things, so I am going to need lost of ideas. -Tiff

Want Music???

2008-02-29T22:32:00.000-08:00

I just thought I would give the address to the place where you get music for your blog page. All you do is go to projectplaylist sign up for an account and it tells you exactly how to get the music. (Don't worry it's free too.) Once you have done that, you get the code, and copy it by right clicking, go to your blog and go to customize, new page element, html javascript, and paste the html. it's so easy. Call me if you have questions!!!

Two weeks ago a high councilman talked in our ward. He told us about this website. It is called freerice.com. It is really cool. It is like a vocabulary test. It gives you a word and then asks the meaning. For every word you get right, the sponsors of the sight, donate 20 grains of rice. It goes toward humanitarian efforts....I think China? If you get the word right, you move up a level but if you get it wrong, you move down a level. I tried it yesterday and it was so fun. I just wanted to tell you all because it is a good cause pluse you expand your vocabulary. It's totally free. You don't have to do anything but guess what the word means!! Try it out and let me know what you think.

We had such a fun time at Grandma & Grandpa's house! We were all sad to go home. It was so nice to see everyone and have the cousins spend time together. Aut & Meesha are so cute pregnant! Nat's house is going to be beautiful. Dad spent a lot of his free time working on the gad dang pipes in the brown bathroom. We got to see Steive & Meesha's ultra sound video! We visited 3 different museums, played in the snow, and took a quick trip through Temple Square. It was a full fun filled trip. Thanks Mom and Dad for the great time! Here is a video clip of one of the museums we visited. We didn't stay long. Leave it to my kids to about tear the place down. Corbin knocked over one whole side of chain and posts that were supposed to be acting as a barricade, and then had to go sit in the car. Boston came around the corner carrying an easel with a poster explaining one of the exhibits. Geez! This dark room was really cool, though.(notice in the picture above Dace giving Corbin a karate chop to the belly! I clicked the camera on the "Yaw" part of "Hi-Yaw")

Tiff's Arrival

Tiff and the kids made it safely to Grandma and Grandpa's house. It was colder than they thought it was going to be. The kids couldn't wait to see and get IN the snow. The stops along the way took way too LONG. (By the way I am doing this myself. Thank you very much. How am I doing??????) Tiff is my teacher and is very patient with me. Am I to the end yet??? lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalal.
This was so much fun. Stay tuned for more FUN!!
