save a sister 5k

Jamie thought it would be a fun thing for us to start doing 5k walk runs. The frist was Swiss days 5k it was a good one to start with only $10 fee. then the next one was Leeds 5k I trotted some of that one and walked some it was one the most beautiful 5k I have done. Well I have only done the 3. Leeds by far had the best views while walking/trotting.  Then this one, only the girls did it Save-a-sister. I am sure everyone has been touched by breast cancer in there life. I have! My Step-mom Bonnie Kessler is a survivor, My Aunt Colleen is a suvivor and I have a great aunt that was taken by breast cancer. They say the stat are 1-3 women will get it. We felt it was a worthy cause and a good memory to make. I love just talking and walking soon I will trot more maybe even jog. one day I might run! who knows but I am progressing and it gives me some thing to work toward. I can't wait for the next 5k. Now all I need to do is pick one out. I will post some pictures as soon as the computer will let me.

Aunt Colleen

Aunt Colleen Foster and Gabriel

When we were in Salt Lake City we had a few of my Aunts come visit. My Aunt Peggy came to meet the boys and visited for a min. They were kinda afraid of her. It is there age they do not like unfamiliar people.  Later that evening Aunt Colleen came to meet my boys and they both decided she was pretty cool. I think it might of been because she brought her dog but it did make for some great pictures.



Gabriel is such an animal lover. He would not let any one else hold him while we were there so this is pretty sepecial.

Salt Lake City Trip!

Toward the end of August Patrick and I decided to go up to SLC and surprise Grandma Kimball so that she could meet her twin Great grandsons, Gabriel and Foster while we were there we made some fun memories. I remember saying to Patrick. I am so glad we did this and made these memories. Thank you so much for making these memories with me!

One of my favorite pictures is the 4 generation picture so of course we had to get one. Gabriel did not want to sit there he was a bit squirmy!

The boys had so much fun playing in Grandma Greats jungle!

moving again

Ok. So it has been 2 weeks now that we have been forced into a new adventure! Patrick was laid off of his great paying job that took us to Las Vegas. Well on that day we decided nothing is keeping us in Vegas so we packed our house up and choose to move in with the parents. Thank god they are letting us.

Mind you I moved out when I was 17.

Well we started packing on Monday and were completely moved out by Wednesday. Back to Utah. I am so glad we are back and close to family. I have enjoyed spending time with my sisters kids and I wish I could see all the others more. I just feel that time is short and we just have no idea what the future holds.

Park

I love to take the boys to the park! They are still too small to know what to do but it gets us out of the house. We make Dad get up early on the weekends so that we can get to the park before it is hot. The rule is to the park and done by 10am.

Gabriel loves to ride the horse he does good rocking it back and forth by himself he is just too small to get on it and it is high so I worry he will fall. I am sure Jamie would call that first child or first time mommy syndrome. But I don't care I love being a mom.


 Foster has not quite figured out that he can rock the horse so Daddy is helping him. He loves his Daddy so much.

 

Patrick and I want to give the boys the whole park experience so we have them go down the slide Patrick is waiting at the bottom to catch them.





This is Foster going down face first! Don't worry his Daddy caught him. He is still not sure what to think of the tube slide.






Gabriel just does not like the slide but we had him try it anyway. He will love it soon I am sure!

This is Gabriel waiting for Mommy to make him go down the slide!
 

 

 

Foster loves to play in the swing but not for long. On this trip he played for awhile when he said "all done" I asked him if he was sure and he let go, leaned forward and almost flipped out of the swing. He was sure he was "all done!"

Gabriel would swing forever if you let him he just loves it so much. He likes to go see what his brothers doing to so he told his Dad he is "all done" and after what just happened with Foster, Patrick was sure to get him down!

Now when we are almost done we always have to go put our toes in the grass! Good thing Dad is a good sport when it come to me wanting to take the boys to the Park! They love him so much!

Family

Family Pictrues from 2010 time for new ones!

I took the opertunity to get out of Las Vegas and go visit my family in Utah! Thank god that all it cost is a gas of tank, and a gal of milk  for the boys, to go visit or we could not do it. I am sure I would find some excuse to get there thou. I am so not a city girl I grew up most of my life in the country and I can't stand living in the concreate jungle of Las Vegas. Everyone I meet tells me that it will grow on me but I don't want it to! That would be like an ugly pimple you just can't seem to get rid of. I guess I need someone to show me the beauty of this city if there is some!

One of the most important things to me is quality time spent together. That is the reason we moved to Las Vegas. I felt that my boys were not getting quality time with their Dad. Boy do they love their Dad.

Madison! Taken by Jamie!

I talked Patrick into buying this dslr camera and I think we got some fun pictures of our time spent with family in Utah. I love to look back and see the  diferent creative ways other take pictures. Like Patrick, Jamie and my Mom.

Jordan! Taken by Jamie!

This is when we went to the Veyo pool it was packed but we had fun anyway! After an hour of swimming we all had icecream. When Jordan was the age of my boys he would point at any one who had icecream and say "yum yum" and of course he would get an icecream cone!

This is my beautiful sister Jamie. I am not sure but I think my hubby took this pictrue! I think she looks beautiful in this picture and if I remember right she felt like dog poo!

Here is my Foster "Bear" he is playing hockey with his Papa's old hockey helmet and hockey stick. He says "I know it is big but I know I can pull it off" at least that is what I think he would be saying!

Gabriel is my little animal lover! He love cats just like his Papa Tom! He will point at them and call them "meow" he just wants to give them a little hug. Hugging the cats just makes him so happy. This picture is of Gabriel hugging Tobie she is 19 years old and just not fast enough to get away!

On this trip to Utah we did a bike ride that I have been asking to do with my wonderful hubby sense they put in the trail. It is funny how things change when you have kids and when someone else asks. Papa Tom likes to take the older grandkids on this ride so when he asked Patrick to do it I was right there. One of Patricks co-workers gave us a bike traylor so we were able to take Gabriel and Foster with us. They loved it! Gabriel thought it was so relaxing that he feel asleep! I think this ride is what fuled them to want to ride the tricycle!
