New post??

So I felt like I hadn't updated in a while so I threw in the sd card to see what was even on it... pretty much just soccer... but we have been busy, busy,...so I took pictures of what I have been up to... I re-arranged the boys room... we un-bunked the beds and moved stuff around, it turned out great!! ... ( still not done yet... I'm waiting on some soccer pictures to fill in the empty space on the wall)

and I finally finished Bron's "baby" blanket. The fabric has been sitting in my closet for 2 years now... I was quite lazy about it, I had bought 1/4 yard of each fabric with the intent on doing a patch quilt (like Parker's and Max's (Parker's above) but I got lazy and just sewed those 1/4 yard strips together... I literally grabbed a flat sheet out of my closet and used it for the back... and added 11 ties to quilt it together... seriously lazy job... but I think it still turned out really cute... ( sorry Bron... doesn't mean I love less though...)
anyways... this is what else was on the camera... one shot from the BYU game... we of course got season tickets again so it's back to the games... oh how I love them. Brad and I went to the first game.. which I don't even want to talk about and Park and I went to the last one... it was great fun!!!
... and always soccer... the boys are doing so well and loving every minute of it!!!





we are stayen busy, busy thats for sure... things are good :)

Real Salt Lake

The boys had the opportunity, through their soccer league, AYSO to go to a Real Salt Lake game and go out on the field with the team at the beginning of the game for the National Anthem... this is them waiting to go out...
It was so fun to see them go out there.... Max was nervous to go out so Parker, being the great older brother that he is, held his hand the whole time, it was so cute! Parker is the black jersey #3 and Max is the light blue #4...
they were able to go with their cute friends Camden and Jorgen too...
I kept taking pictures hoping to get a really good one, or one with them facing me but no luck... they were far away...
... and I was so bummed cause Parker said they got on the big screen, but I was trying so hard to get a good picture I missed it... I wish I could have seen them and gotten a good picture of that... oh well... they had fun, it was a good experience for them...



a little cotton candy ... nasty stuff but of course the kids love it.... It was way fun going to the game and having the boys be a part of the parade of teams... I'm glad we were able to do it... Parker was enjoying watching the game... he would stand up every time they were close to getting a goal, he would cheer and was paying attention to what was going on... Max enjoyed being there, mostly enjoyed the cookies and cotton candy and Bron got bored and Brad had to take him for a little walk a few times... glad the tickets were free, I would totally take Park again and pay for it, ha ha, anyhoo good times, fun family experience...

10 Years

Well it's official. Today marks the day of the BIG 10 years of Wedded Bliss for Brad & Jen. So just thought I would take a little trip back in time... I was looking thru some old photo's thinking about just how long we have been together... Brad & I started dating when I was 17. I have known him and we have been together for 12 years!!! WOo HoO!! This first picture is the very first picture we ever had taken of us "together"... (still no scanner so all these picture are very poor quality)

These pictures make me laugh, pretty old school. Our outfits in the above picture... and Brads long combed hair... It's Nice Look...We dated all thru my Senior year in High School, this is us right before my prom... ha ha, apparently he came over while I was getting ready and bailed right before my date showed up...
So of course he was there for my graduation.
Seminary Graduation too...
Many a hikes and camping trips together...

Lots of fun vacations...

Labor Day & Max's First Day of School

Another year at Swiss Days has come & gone... this year we only went up Friday which worked out pretty good... It was a year of hooks for me... I got hooks for back packs and coats for the front room and hooks for my bedroom for my scarves and hats and hooks for keys... I'm kinda in a everything needs a place mood so... thus all the hooks... anyways... we hung out and walked around and the kids enjoyed the bounce house play area... later in the evening Brooke & Matt joined us for some dinner and some swimming at Zermott...




Soggy Boys... they love going swimming...

Matt & two random kids ha ha I thought this looked funny so I snapped a picture...
... and in deep meditation/waterfall theropy...
It was a grand ol' time ....

We just went for Friday cause Saturday was spent working in Kalli & Andy's yard... they are in the middle of sprinklers and landscaping and soon some sod.... yay!!!

Sunday was a chill day and Monday more work in Kalli & Andy's yard followed by a BBQ at my mom & dad's & a game we made that we were calling corn hole.... ??? Is that really the name...? We made bean bags... aka CORN bags and made a platform with a HOLE in it... point of game, get the corn bag in the hole.... anyways this is all random information... but we had a nice Labor Day weekend...




AAannnd Back-To-School for Max... he enjoy's going and we love the teacher... should be another good year of pre-school...
Bron of course had to get a back pack just like big brother... he pretty much thought he was going to school too, he got very sad when he realized that not only was he not going, we were leaving Max there... he loves his brothers... back into the routine for everyone...
nice pose Bronny
.. and nice punch mustache.. that wouldn't wipe off...

Coming out of school, with a big ol' grin on his face...
