The concert was awesome :)

Finely the day was here, I was so excited!!! All three bands were ROCKIN'. I had a fun time!!!!!

Night Ranger started off the concert. I was most excited to see them. They are awesome. I was a way happy girl when they played YOU CAN STILL ROCK IN AMERICA, one of the best songs ever, it's in my top 10!!!!!!! They also played Sister Christan, sweet, love that song.

Next up was Foreigner. They were good too. They played mostly their hits, which was good. My favorite song from them for the night was Dirty White Boy, I had forgotten about that song, so when they played it, that was awesome :)

Third up was Journey. I was excited to see them too. I do wish I would have seen them when Steve Perry was singing. He is quite the songbird, beautiful voice. Arnel sang fantastically too. They had an awesome light show. They also blew confetti out of the huge air gun things(not sure what they are called). The sky was filled with white,fluttering confetti. Only a few pieces came our way, so we waited till a lot of the crowd was gone, and Carch went and got a few pieces of the confetti and I used the pieces in our homemade smash books. My favorite song from them was Stone In Love. I felt bad that I had forgotten that song, since it has been along time since I heard it, but I love it. And Lights... always awesome.
I had a super time, wished we would have been closer to the stage, but had a great time :)

GROOVY Halloween Pic

Here is out" Far Out" family Halloween Picture. We went to Krsitin & Carl's family Halloween party. It was fun.

Sunday Drive

Last Sunday we went for our yearly leaf ride. We usually do a little hike, throw rocks in the water, collect a few branches of beautiful fall leaves. Spend some fun family time together. Our favorite place to go is North Fork. It is so beautiful!!!

The mountain is full with bright reds & oranges. This pic is of us hiking up the stream that runs through North Fork. It was a blast. Of corse I provided some of the entertainment by falling in the water. We were coming back down stream & down I went. I was laughing so hard, the boys and Craig wern't sure if I was laughing or crying. I was laughin. I get the laugh attacks where my whole body shakes, pretty funny. Here I was in the water, laughin so hard I couldn't get up. Fineally I did & was soppin wet the rest of the time. It was to fun :)

Back to School :)

It was back to school for the kids last Monday. Cade was off to his first year in high school. WOW how time fly's.

Carch was off to start fifth grade. I always tell the boys to slow down, they are growing much to fast!!!

Happy 22 Birthday Calvin

Calvin at 3 months :)

You have been such a light in my life & I love you so very much. So I won't get to mush, mush so I will just say I hope you have the Happiest Birthday ever!!!!!!!!!!
We all LOVE & MISS YOU much!!!

Calvin at almost 22:)

I have had this big idea for the past few months. I wanted to go see my oldest son Calvin & surprise him. So I was real sneaky & every time I have talked to him the past few months I would ask him about his work schedule, if he was taking any days off soon, questions like that. So later last week I asked about his schedule (he probably thinks I'm going senile ( I am to young for senile :) asking the same kinds of ??? every time we talk :). So Saturday afternoon we left for Challis, a 5 hour drive for us to surprise Calvin. It was a beautiful day for a long drive, I was so excited to see Calvin & us spend some family time together.



We checked into our motel & went out for dinner to the restaurant where Calvin works. As soon as we got there Calvin came walking out from the back and was putting something away at the salad bar. I hollered " Hey Goodlookin", Calvin turns around & he was surprised. It took him a second to let it soak in. Then I gave a big hug and all was good!!!



The owner of the restaurant insisted Calvin come and spend time with us. It was a slow night so I didn't feel bad about Calvin abandoning his post. It was great to see Calvin and spend time with him. We all had Patty Melts & talked. I got to explain my craziness.



The owner was nice to take a family pic. We had to let Calvin get back to work so we went bowling.



The next day we meet for breakfast & went on a ride. Calvin took us to a fun hiking, creek crossing, picture taking place. We all took of our shoes & socks to cross the creek & go on a little hike. Man o man the water was cold. Then we found a tree across the creek and came back over on it.



After our hike on the way to take Calvin home we stopped and got some "good" fireworks. It was a short trip, but so glad to spend time with Calv & miss his so, and wish he lived closer to us!!!!!! Maybe someday :)

Carch Specks :)

Carch & I had to go to the eye Doc a few weeks ago. Sure enough Car definetly needed some glasses. He is wanting to get contacts but the Doc suggested getting glasses and getting used to them first. So we went and ordered his specks. He was so excited to be able to see he had a count up on how many days going on our fridge with magnets. As soon as we got the call his glasses are ready we were there!!!

Carch looks super handsome in his new glasses!!!

Love you so much dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mom :)

Summer Time Fun

We spend a whole lotta time during the summer up at the Browning pool. It is one of the "perks" of hubbys job (love it).

Carch's big 10 Happy Birthday

Yesterday we had Carch's family birthday party. All of Craig's family made it. Mom & Reed came too. Carch has been wanting a soda drinking hat. It was a hit at the party.
We forgot to get any soda for Carch to use with his new soda hat. We are way lame. Lucky for us Carch is a good sport & tried the hat out with cups of water. It works great.


Carch has been wanting "cold hard ca$h" for his b-day. He has been saving the money he got last year, plus his allowance to get him a Ipod Touch. He was so excited to get his Ipod on his birthday. He thought,(with a little help from us) that he would have to go and get it later. So it was a fun surprise for him.



Happy Birthday Carch. Love you so much!!!! Mom

Cade " The sharp dressed man"

For all the ninth graders at Cade's school, they do a mock job interview.The kids need to dress up for the interview. Cade's turn was during english the last period for him of the day. So he had to go around all day in his suit. He did really well in the interview. One of Cade's friends Colin wore a plaid suit. I bet that was a hit!!!!! Anyway Cade thought he was stylin' and lots of the girls though he looked mighty nice!

Craig (my hubby) and I went to Las Vegas last weekend to celebrate our 16th anniversary. We stayed at my friend Robin's husbands appartment. Craig (Robins hubby) works in Vegas & comes home to Utah on the weekends. Craig & Robin to us out to west Vegas to check out Red Rock Canyon. What a beautiful place. The rock formations & picture graphs were cool.

Later Saturday night we went out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory in the shopping place in Caesars Palace. I had yummy key lime cheesecake. Never meet a key lime I didn't like!!! After that we went to the Beatles "LOVE" Cirque Du Soleil.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was incredible.They Payed so much attention to every detail, it was awesome. I would love to take my kids to see it. I would recogmend it to anyone. It was the cooliest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
