Hogle Zoo

Leonard has been doubling a lot now that he is released back to work! He decided to take his day off for once. WE were happy and decided to take the boys to the zoo in Salt Lake City! It was crazy to think that the last time I had been there, Treyton was a brand new preemie in the NICU at LDS hospital, so sad how time flies he is now seven! I hadn't been there in forever! Ledger had only been to one zoo the Phoenix one but he was too little to remember. So we went! It was so hot and fun! The boys loved all the new dinosaurs through out the park that sprayed water! Ledger are little stink hit everyone that walked by in the Legs and one lady in the face. I was so embarrassed he is such a stinker. He loved loved the zoo though, played in the water, looked at the animals, banged on the glass to wake them up oops!! Treyton's favorite part was the park he is so silly right now.Brendan loved the monkeys, snakes and spraying animals. But it was a great day! The Phoenix zoo is so much neater and way more animals, palm trees! I would have to say there are the best I been to so far!! But it was hot beautiful day with lunch at Red Robin where I had the best Mexican salad ever!! It was a fun day the boys had a blast and so did I! It was a nice break from home and day to day chores!

Racing in Rock Springs round 1

Life is crazy!
Treyton has loved motorcycles for as long as he was around 2. I always thought he the one to take control and go crazy on his bike. Well things tend to change for now! Brendan loves riding he is doing so so well we are absolutely shocked! He goes really fast and its starting to make me worried! He has also mastered jumping small but it is a huge achievement! I am so proud! They raced again in Rock Springs and Brendan was so excited if he got 1-5Th he would win a trophy! He did so great and came in sixth both rounds who needs a trophy he did amazing considering it was only his second race!
Treyton I felt so so bad, we thought he would be riding in a mini comp aka everyone gets a trophy and on the little track. Well about 20 minutes before the race we learned his bike was to big for that class we were bummed!! Poor kid it was awful! I felt horrible! He never rides on the big track and now he had to in a expert class oh geeze!
He was brave I tell you, after many pep talks from his dad and Brendan he did it! First race came in 11Th and the second 12Th. But I was so proud he just rode on that big track and did so well! He is very brave!
Ledger is are trooper after a bad allergy attack and a good nap he was off and ready to play and watch the vrooom vrooms and brothers it was a very hot day!! He did so well better than me I was heat exhausted and nerves shot scared and worried for my boys!
We been going back and forth over there practicing on the track for the next race in Aug! I pray it goes well and they are okay! It scares me! But they love it and it is exciting!They are doing so great! Brendan is so fast and Treyton is really learning well and even starting to jump a little. Until next time.....

~21 and 22 months time is flying~

Ledger is getting so so big and loves summer more than anything! If you are going outside or anyone for that matter he is out the door. I have started locking the screen door or he is out and gone before I know it! He loves the water and running through the grass and sprinkler totally not afraid. He is so cute just happy as can be hanging with the big boys and neighbors eating Popsicle's. They grow up way to fast! He is so ready to be one of the gang and run with the kids! It is so cute!! He has started saying Oh WOW, Ya, NO NO, Uh oh lots and I don't know! As well as here I am and hi and bye with the wave to to precious!! I don't want him grow up I love love my baby!! He is so fun right now learning new things and playing everyday is such a joy! He helps me water the trees and pick weeds aka some flowers but who's watching ha ha! He has almost mastered his car seat to get seat belted as well. He is such a smart cute little boy! Every house he goes he tries on there shoes he has a fascination with them, just like me he he, he tried my pink flip flops on and I barely got a picture. It was so stinking funny he he~! He love dirt bikes and being in daddy's tools. Really anything outdoors he is all in. He is such a little boy it is so precious wish time would stop for a year or two!! He is almost two I can't believe it!! WE love him so so much! He found this doggie with a string at a yard sale and fell in love he drags him all over the house with a beanie on too boot it is hilarious! He loves his little doggie, funny what kids fall in love with! He plays with him and his grocery cart daily making motorcycle's sounds along the way! I love it!

~New Kitty~

My brothers cat had five baby kittens about a week after our mows past away. At the time I did not want another pet and either did the kids! They cried for weeks and missed mows terribly!! Time went on and Maegon posted the kitties on facebook they were so cute. I still wasn't ready. After a weekend at the Gorge the boys I should say. Went with my parents and brother fam. They heard all about the kittens again. Once they got home begged me to go look at them and get one. They were ready. We went and I couldn't tell them no and took the black and white one they had. Meg had named him Minnie Me due to the "M" shape on his forehead! He was so cute! We have now had him a little over two weeks and changed his name to Moto. He is still very little and wild little kitten. I am hoping he calms down some. Boys love him and are very happy~ Even poor thing gets tortured from Ledger loving on him.

4th of JuLy!!!

We had a very busy fourth of July weekend! It was allot of fun with tons of fireworks!
Saturday night the 2ND of July we went to are neighbors next door and let off lots of fireworks. Brendan had lots of fun letting stink bombs on us and bottle rockets off with Morgan he played till nearly 12 am! It was great with campfire and drinks.
Sunday July 3rd we went to a great friend of mines house she really has the funnest kid back yard any kid could dream of!
There is a fort, skateboard ramps, hot tub, and swim pool, plus trampoline! The food was so good her husband Todd made the best Jambalaya ever!!! There was brisket and cake, shrimp and salads to die for! I really had so much fun! Plus the kids did to they swam in her pool and hot tub, sang, jumped on the trampoline and climbed the fort! I LOVED her house!
We went out later that night to turtle hill and let off more fireworks! It was so cool. The kids climbed the mountain or hill and and just all ran about having a good time with sparklers and neat fireworks what a great great day!!!
July fourth!! Wow began early getting ready for the parade in Ft. Bridger. Treyton was so excited and ready for candy. Brendan loved the army guys who throw little army toys. Ledger was just happy with a piece of candy totally oblivious to the parade behind him! It was overcast and sprinkling but really not bad and a great small parade.
Later went to my aunt Linda's for a BBQ and to watch the town fireworks from her house. Ray got out his power chair to entertain the boys. Little did we know it would also entertain Ledger he was so funny he had that chair mastered and loved backing it up and hearing the beep beep sound.
The food was great and we had a small deck fire, roasted marshmallow's where Leonard had some down his beard and had us all laughing at the perfect line of white down his face!! The fireworks were so pretty!!
It was one of the best fourths I have ever had with loads of fun everyday! Ledger loved loved loved fireworks said oh wow over and over not scared one bit, it was the cutest thing ever!! He really is not afraid of anything! I am sad summer is flying but with fun like this it is well memorable!

Flooding

I have lived here almost 30 years and the flooding is crazy! I have never seen Ft. Bridger have water flow through the whole thing like this ever! The water is high everywhere and there is still snow on the mountains! When I drove by and saw all this water I was in shock all I could say was WOW!! Wow!!! WOW!! It has been a week and the water has gone down, Yay so glad for the community it was kinda scary. I am glad I took pictures of all that water it was so crazy!
