I Love Watermelon!

I couldn't get the kids to look at me all at the same time!  I love this picture of Tandi.  Look at the bite she is taking!  Tyson and Reese can't believe it either.

This is the first time Reese has had watermelon cut like this, I usually cut it is chunks and she never eats it.  If I had only known she likes triangle watermelon...

What a CUTE picture of Tandi!  I love it!

I don't know if Reese's mouth could get any fuller!

West Water Canyon

We took the big boys on their first big water rafting trip down West water canyon on the Colorado river.  When I say big, I really should say BIG!!!  The river was running at 10, 700 cfs, which means it is a nasty, but fun level.  Fun as long as you don't flip or fall out, not so fun if you do, just ask Kevin and Tyler,who had the worst swim, or any of the other kayakers.  Sean, Me, Cameron, Carson and Ryan Hamblin were in the boat and we took 3 inflatable kayaks each with 2 people in them.  Sean did a great job of keeping our boat upright!  Cameron, oblivious to the danger, wanted to hit every wave and hole!  Carson on the other hand started out wanting to hit the waves but by the middle (just before skull,  room of doom and the magnetic wall for those of you who have been down. I know, the names sound so inviting, huh.) he was getting pretty quiet.  The last rapids are called "last chance" and "last, last chance" after we went through them Cars was all smiles again.  We had a great time.  

Olympic Park

We had a great time in Park City at Olympic Park!  Sean, Jerry(b-inlaw), Mason, Danny(both nephews) and Aleisha(niece) went down the bob sled track!  It was scary just to watch them! They got going around 70 mph!  The kids loved the zip line, alpine slide, and just watching the ski jumpers practicing their jumps and landing in the pool ( actually pretty cool)

Nielson kid

Of course we want rafting!

This was the high light of the whole week, for me anyway!  I beat an old man at an arm wrestle! Actually, I gave up first but since I'm a girl and I think we were in that position for at least 10 minutes I am claiming the victory!  I wish I could make this picture bigger!

Grandma and Kendall

Danny and Reese

Reese loved Danny! He would do anything she wanted which included racing her around the backyard in a doll buggy as fast as he could run, which is pretty darn fast!

Our own backyard water park!

    

   

Beaver Mountains

Cheryl(sister), Jerry and their kids, Mason, Danny, Brandon and Kendall (Aleisha was already in Utah going to BYU and working at Rafting) made the trek to Utah from Texas.  A favorite thing to do is going fishing up in the Beaver mountains.  We caught a lot of fish and had a lot of fun!  Thanks to the big boys for helping the little boys with their poles, Gramps can only re-do line, sinkers, bubbles, and hooks so many times. 

Poor Carson

I found this video a while ago and I wanted to share it with all of you.  I think it is hilarious! Cameron just turned 2 and Carson is 2 months old.  Carson's cheeks are so chubby.  You can't blame Cameron for kissing him so much. 

Reese has bed head!!!!!

We thought this day would never come!  She woke up from her nap with bed head!  I haven't even combed it out yet.  I think it is so funny.  She must get this from her Aunt Jilly. Love it!

Tagged (thanks Cami!)

Rules: A. Post the rules B. Answer all the questions about yourself C. After you are done posting, tag 5 people 

1. What were you doing 10 years ago? 

Well, I was very, very  pregnant with Cameron who was born May 25th ( if you have ever seen me pregnant, I am huge and I was the biggest with Cameron.  HUGE!). We lived in Provo in a 4-plex and I was working at Timpview carwash that Ken owned at the time. Man, those were the days!  

2. Five things on your to do list today.

1.  Exercise:  Sean and I have started doing Jillian Michaels (from The Biggest Looser) workouts every morning.  I hurt from my neck to my ankles.  

2. Pack something.  We are moving back to Utah in June.  Lots to do.

3.  Make a replica of the new bank here in Spirit Lake for a project for Carson.  It is due on Friday.  I am freaking out a little bit.

4.  Think of something for dinner other than corn dogs or chicken dinosaurs.

5.  File my nails while I watch the A.I. results show.  

 3. Snacks I enjoy.

Diet coke and hostess chocolate donuts or Act ll kettle corn, yum.

4. What would I do if suddently I were a billionaire? 

I would find jeans that fit and buy at least 5 pair no matter the cost!   Sean would probably buy the biggest and baddest imac that Apple makes.  I would buy the lot next to Ken's cabin in Spirit Lake and build a cabin for us.  We would need a house in Steamboat Springs, CO also.  Sean needs a new car.  His Honda has 340,000 miles on it and is being held together by BBQ sauce and love. I would love love love a LR3.  Travel with family. I guess we would need a killer, but modest, home in Heber on 10 acres with a couple of guest houses and a baseball field with lights. Man this is fun! I could go on and on!

5. 3 bad habits

I drink too much Diet Coke.  I actually don't think you can drink too much Diet Coke but Sean does.

I wait until the last minute to do things, i.e. Carson's school project, primary lessons 

I like to garnish my food with lots of butter and salt, the food that needs it, of course.  

6. 5 places I've lived 

Delta, Ut, Provo, Logan,  Steamboat Springs, CO, Spirit Lake, ID

5 jobs I've had

1. bagger/cashier

2. receptionist at Provo recreation center/Pioneer Park pool and slides

3.  sport information/intramural department at UVCC or UVU for you youngsters.  helped take stats for the teams and helped make the programs for the games.

4. white water raft guide in Steamboat ( where I met Sean) and on the mighty provo 

5. receptionist for Steamboat snowmobile tours and High country tours in Park City

8. 5 things people don't know about me 

1. I don't like calling people on the phone for appointment or even pizza.  It really bugs Sean. Weird, I know.

2. I had ACL replacement surgery on my left knee when I was 15/16 yrs old.  High school Basketball

3. I would love to buy a VW bus or an old Land cruiser. I think I missed my era: 1970's

4. I love eating out.  I would eat out every night if I could.  Sadly so would my kids.   This is not an unknown fact for some of you.  

5. I don't like going to the dentist ( no offense Uncle Bob Hamblin, I really like you as a person) I would rather go to the O.B.
