Baby Wyatt and Easter!

Its been awhile since I have posted. The warm weather comes around and you just want to stay outside and soak it up! Over Easter we got a new baby! Clint's sister Ash had her little guy on April 11. Wyatt came three weeks early and weighed in at 5lbs 14 oz. He has had a little struggle with his oxygen and eating therefor is still in the hospital. He look EXACTLY like his older brother Bridger. Its crazy how much they look alike! Both kids are a good mix between Daddy Cole and Mom. He is so stinking CUTE! We can not wait for him to get home!!!!


Bridger patiently waiting to see his baby brother...

Easter was relaxed. So relaxed I didnt even take pictures of there cute baskets or nothing. I grabbed my camera for a few shots of the Eater egg hunt at my moms! That's about it!!

Whats Easter without the bubbles!!??

Happy Hearts day!

It has been so long since Clint has been home on Valentines day. I do not even remember the last one he was here on. Good thing I have three handsome boys to fill in while he is away! Gage was so excited to watch me put the puzzle together that he made. I love it!

Dakoda could not wait to give me his present. Literally could not wait I got it last week! He asks all the time if I LOVE the necklace he made me. And YES I LOVE it!!

Happy HEARTS DAY to all of my FABULOUS family and friends!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I am excited for a new year! What an up and down year it has been. First off I hope this whole economy thing starts to simmer down I hate to see people go through such difficult times. Then I think for me personally it has been an eye opener. It made me realize what is important and makes me want to get my life more together. Some of the things we will remember from last year are**

*Lots of fun hanging out with family and friends-Powell, Florida, Flaming Gorge, Starvation, St. George and Las Vegas to name a few.
*Colts first pinewood derby, he is reminding me of this right now.
*Koda Mutton Bustin
*Lots of Boating on our first boat. Starvation, Powell, Utah Lake and Yuba to name some.
*Fun concerts and celebrating Holidays
*Hanging out with the kids in hotels while Clint works.
*Lots of water park days and swim lessons

And lots more. As I look at my list, we will be repeating a lot of the same things for the next year. We had such a fun year with our family and friends. We had a pretty healthy year as well only the flu bug a time or two. I am not big on setting major new years resolutions but here are a few of mine and also things I am looking forward to.. in no particular order..

*New babies in the family***Getting on top of the digital scrap booking and Photo shop***Be better at keeping a journal..you know the little things we forget to write down we wish we could remember.*** Gage getting baptized***Spending more time with family and friends***Keep running, lots of it!***Help my sister here soon, HEHEHE***Have more patience***Be more understanding and thoughtful***Read more*** Keep on my journey of finding myself in the spiritual department!

That is about it. I am sure I will think of more to add to the list but for now this sounds good, nothing too major. I am loving where I am at in life. My thirties that is. Who knew they would be this great. I love the continuous journey that I am on. I love to watch my kids grow and learn new things a long the way. I am so thankful for my family and friends. Overall I am just looking forward to another adventurous year!

Hope you all have a very safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Our Christmas vacation...

Our Christmas vacation has been pretty laid back so far this year. And I have LOVED it! The first half we really did not do much at all and really have just laid around the house. Clint has been out with his buddies hunting, the kids have played with friends and cousins and I have enjoyed not having a schedule for 2 weeks! I got in a couple of good reads but one book in particular I loved. It has been the first book that I put on my new Kindle. That little gadget is so much fun and so worth it if you like to read. Any way back to the book. Even if you are not a big reader this book is worth reading. It is not long and is such a good book. And if you read it and do not feel any thing after you are done, you are crazy!

So far we have seen lots of movies, or I should say that I have! We all really liked Bedtime stories. Benjamin Button was good but really looooong! In fact Clint says he is good with not going into a theater for three moths after we saw this. Marley and me was good and I cried. I think My favorite movie so far this holiday season has been Australia. I LOVED it!




That has been our vacation so far. Nothing big, but so nice!  

Christmas 2008

Another Christmas has come and gone! This year my boys decided to get up at 4:30 in the morning. Yeah, not happening. They all climbed in our bed and we watched The Christmas Story for like the 6th time in a 24 hour period. They finally got to go out around 545. Clint and I put all there stuff in one big box and set there sock next to it so it looked like they got one big box and a sock. They were so excited to see there socks and the little stuff in them they did not even notice the box. We had to point there ripsticks and the box out to them after a few minutes. It was funny! I did not get a lot of pictures of our day It was fast and furious!



Dakoda finally noticing that there is stuff inside the box. Colt loved his rip stick but was most excited about the new x box and wii games he got. I am not sure what is in Colt's mouth I think it may be a wire from the packaging??


Koda looks a little tired! They were loving their new Ipods.


Gage has been asking for a ripstick and finally got one, he was so excited! I think it has been more fun for me watching them try to get the hang of it! And Dakoda finally got a Ds so he can quit sneaking his brothers out to play.   


We all had a great Christmas and are looking forward to a new year!!

HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

We hope you all have a great Holiday season! It has been a tradition in my family to have the Christmas story playing all day on Christmas Eve so if you are like my family may you enjoy 24
hours of the Christmas story!!

SNOW, SNOW AND MORE SNOW!

I am not one for the cold but all this snow is so much FUN!! We have not seen it like this for a long time. We decided at about four o clock to head out and play in it. We pulled the sleds behind the four wheeler through the orchard, made snowmen, had snowball fights, and of course snow angels. It was way after dark before we headed in. It's feeling like Christmas finally!


They were so excited to make a snowman and before I knew it Clint and I was all that was left finishing it. We both had different ideas on how to go about it so I think it turned out a little morphed but we got it done!

I was trying to catch a picture of Gage and caught a snowball in the face instead!! Not before I caught him in action though! Little stinker.

WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This is what we will be watching in preperation for Christmas! These are two of my favorite Christmas movies of all time. It is crazy Christmas is here already. I am ready as I am going to be considering I started about October this year. Which is good and bad because I swore I would be done way ahead of the crowds this year and I pretty much was. But I find the earlier you start the more little stuff you keep finding to buy!



We wish you all a safe and very Merry Christmas!!!!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving weekend. I am so grateful for the wonderful family and friends that I have! I know that throughout life people come in and out of your life for a reason. I am so thankful for the people that our in mine at this very moment!

I am thankful for all my boys. They continue to teach me something new everyday. I'm thankful for Clint. There is nothing better than seeing what an amazing dad he is to our kids. It makes me fall more and more in love with him.

I am thankful for my health. This last week Clint's grandpa has been diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. We do not know a whole lot yet but it has been extremely hard on Clint and his family. He has been a huge part in Clint's life and I give him a lot of credit for the person that Clint is today. Clint and his family has been at his side throughout this and it truly made me realize even more how important family is. His grandpa is a kid at heart and I honestly can say you would never know how old he is because he is so active. He is always building random things, hauling hay, taking grandkids up the canyon, going for horseback rides, and always helping someone out. He is a great guy and has lived a great life. It never gets old listening to his stories or listening to him break out in song. Throughout what he has been through so far he remains in such great spirits. It really reminds you to be thankful for who and what you have in your life.

I guess in a nutshell I am thankful for the life I have been blessed with and for the trials that I have gone through. Most of all I am thankful for the people that have touched my life.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Halloween!

This time of year I especially crave Disneyland. If you have not been there during the month of October you really need to go. They have a huge Halloween trick or treat. They close the park down you get to dress up and trick or treat. You buy tickets in advance because they only let so many people in and they leave the rides open. Every character you can imagine is out even some you don't see in the park. They have dances and parades and of course lots of trick or treating!

Just wanted to say have a safe and Happy Halloween!!

Fourth of July Weekend!

I can not think of a better way to start off the Fourth than hitting the Poison concert!!! Yes it was trashy but well worth it! We got some hot shirts but in no way did we compare to the true die hards there. I have to ask where they all come from, its crazy! I also rocked out with some crazy guys that were having way to much fun before the show even started to say the least I am sure they were not feeling so hot the next day! And I am thinking they were together...Very good times!!!

Clint's mom, aunt, uncle and there daughter went as well! Haley got a little crazy rocking out Ha ha...

That is an I love you sign to my hubby at home...

Then Clint's uncle gave us stadium of fire tickets the night before the show. They do work for Mona Vie who was one of the sponsors and they gave Cornerstone some tickets. We got to sit up in the boxes and I must say that the Air conditioning was well worth it! The kids loved the Blue man group and the parachute jumpers! I think they liked Miley too but would never admit it!

(every time I tried to get a good pic Koda would pull a face)

Every year we have Clint bring home stuff to do an outdoor movie on my parents lawn! We had a big dinner played some ball and did fireworks! Bostyn could not figure out if she liked them or not. Then Haley thought that she would be crazy and jumped through the grand finale of fireworks and burnt the crap out of her clothes.

Koda and his Papa getting a little crazy on the trampoline~

I finally made it around to an update! Hopefully I can stay on top of it! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Mother's day weekend!

We had such a great Mother's day weekend! I love Mother's day cause I can't wait to see what the kids have made in school. Colt made me this pin cushion out of clay and a card. I'm not sure what it says on the front of the pin cushion but he was so excited to give it to me I did not ask. Now to find what in the heck I will use it for?!? I love it any way...




Gager's class made books these are just a couple of pages from the little book that he made. He knows me so well when I saw the shopping page and the picture of the Target store I had to laugh. I got a little choked up I will admit. I love how excited they are to give you these little presents it is for sure what I look forward to on Mother's day!




The boy's and I had a date to see the new Iron man movie, they loved it! I have to say it was a lot better than what I thought it was going to be!



We also went out to our property in Duchesne to help Clint's dad. The kids had a blast playing in the dirt, riding the back ho and roasting marshmallow's. Clint did a GREAT job at picking out my mothers day present this year! He also went above and beyond the honey do list and did a bunch of yard work. Hope everyone had a great weekend and a Fabulous Mother's day!

...AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We had a great Christmas, but I can say that I am glad it is over. Don't get me wrong I lOVE this time of year but you finally hit that peak when you are ready for life to turn back to normal (if it ever does). Over the break we took the kids snow mobiling, it was super cold but sooo fun! The kids look forward to this and try to talk dad into going every weekend (which usually works)...Hope that you all have a super New Year!!!
