Happy Birthday Teegan

After many requests from Holly and Brian to come down and visit, we decided that we would do that for Teegans 5th birthday. We had so much fun. Sat morning when we woke up Holly and I went to eat breakfast ALONE at the original pancake house , they had the BEST pancakes!! Everyone needs to eat there. We left there and went to healing mountain to get massages! Then picked up a few things for Teegans birthday on our way home.. It was SO great to get to spend one on one time with my sister, * it rarely happens and even more rare to hang out with out kids! THANKS TO OUR WONDERFUL HUSBANDS FOR BABYSITTING!! When we returned home we let Teegan open his presents,and then we had to take the pogo stick back to Target since no one could get the thing to bounce cuz the spring was to tight... Thanks Holly and Brian for the gift and then for the replacement one.. The guys needed away for a while so Holly and I took the kids out to lunch at the Myan... WOW it was fun to watch their faces light up when we went in. We were able to get a front booth to eat and and enjoy the divers. Then off to the bounce house!! The kids skated , bounced, and played arcade games, Kenna and Taylor each won their own games and then they and Teegan won a diffrent game together.. GOOD JOB winning the skating games kids!~~Everyone had a great time , Uncle Brian even shared his icee with Kaybree. I wish that we all lived closer together we sure do miss spending time with all of them... ONE DAY we will live closer. Love you guys so much !!

Halloween...

As my Dad pointed out I need to update my blog... been a little busy. First off Halloween...This year McKenna wanted to be Cinderella but not the princess she wanted to be the mad!!! ( Funny since it was not to long before that she was upset with Bryce and I for making her help clean up the messes in the house... she gave us attitude and said " you should have named me Cinderella cuz all I do is work work work!!! " ) So I made her costume she wanted Kaybree to be one of her mice, I was given the option of the mean step sisters or the step mom.. I choose to be the cat! Teegan asked to be the incredibles. We first went to Grandma Kaye's house for some tricking and treating... more just to visit with her, I never seem to get over there very often to visit. Then off to Jeff and Sallys ward trunk or treat.. this is the best and safest way for kids to trick or treat.. we have joined in on it for like 4 years now and I really love it. They always do hot chocolate and doughnuts for everyone and its so nice.Plus Bryce gets to visit with his old ward. Then we went off to do some door to door, stoped at Grandma Sally's , Great Grandma Luthy's, Aunt Debbie and some of her neighborhood. After it was done Bryce, the kids and I went with Mom and Dad to dinner and Josh met us there. What a great night.... ended in a race home with dad... I would have won, but he pulled out some BS pass on the right side... oh well. We all had a fun night.

Fishing 2010

This year Dad planted fish in the pond out back, in doing so he also had some gold trout placed in as prize fish. We have got A LOT of fun out of fishing with everyone. The kids just love it! ( I include myself with the kids in that!) Lately we have been fishing more because all the fish need to be out before the snow comes. Last weekend Josh and Bryce were helping Dad outside with some fencing and all the other things that needed done and Halley and the boys were hanging with me inside while I did things. Brian and the girls were also up for the weekend, and were here hanging out. After all the work was done we went fishing :) oh it was so much fun.... I am offically the first person to have got a gold fish on the hook, although he jumped off like 2 feet from the bank! DANG IT!!! I was so excited. Carter had enough fun for everyone... he thought fishing was the coolest thing EVER! I still remember how he just giggled and laughed and kept asking us to catch those fish. Brian even insisted that I had to hold one of the fish I caught, little did I know that I was going to kill it by holing to tight. But.... it was a big fish and I kept dropping it. Thanks everyone for all the fun, and Josh thanks for hanging out and fishing long after everyone else left for the house... I AM GOING TO GET THAT GOLD ONE!!!

8 Mile Camping

Bryce seems to LOVE 8 mile to go dirt biking and camping so he decided that we should go as a family and meet up with some friends and their children, and also a friend from work. We had tried to do this group biking and camping excursion a couple weeks prior and when we got out there we couldn't find the turn off and then we blew the transmission in the pickup. We arrived Friday night and set up. I knew instantly that I was going to not really enjoy the camping trip since it was late in the year and cold, not to mention that there was like no grass just dirt for the kids to play in and when I say dirt what I mean is powder dust.! oh wait did I mention the boys were planning on biking most of the day sat. So after we got breakfast on sat morning the boys headed out to ride. The kids went to playing with Jake and Tara's kids. Tara and I chilled around the fire and got to know each other better. Kaybree was in LOVE with their dog Hobbs, such a mellow dog just layed and let Kaybree bug it. She had to keep laying next to it in the dirt. The rest of the kids played hard and rode the dirt bike. The older boys must have seen their dads work on their bikes a time or two because they rode it for a while and then parked it and went for the tool box on Bryces tail gate because they said they needed to "fix" their bike!! So cute. We ate lots of yummy food (like always) and then headed for home the next morning.... not as horrible as I thought it would be but it did have its dull moments. Thanks Tara for hanging out at camp with me and kids, us girls will have to drag the boys to the mall while they babysit in the play area! HA HA

State Fair. 2010

Again this year I convinced myself that it was worth spending the money to take the kids to the fair. ! WRONG it was SO NOT worth the amount of money we spent.There just was nothing worth seeing or buying, Kenna and I did end up buying some new sunglasses. I did enjoy the food, like always. Grandpa Gary came with us and he had fun with the giant blow up cow.!

1st Brithday

Kaybree Vera Luthy had her first birthday at Sugar City Park. on Sat Aug 21st, Grandma Sally, Aunt Katrina, Uncle Logan & Aunt Mallory, Jason , Brandi and the kids, Josh and the boys all attended. Thanks everyone for coming!! I still cant believe that its already been 1 year since she was born... where did all those months go??? Kaybree was so sweet she started off just grabbing a little cake and nicely eating it... then came the fist fulls. :) Teegan also enjoyed Kaybrees smash cake with his face and letting the dog lick it off YUCK buddy that was so sick!!

First Hair cut

Kaybree was in need of a hair cut, we set up an appointment with one of the finest stylist in the area. I was a little emotional, everything went GREAT! THANKS Brittani for cutting my baby girls hair. Turned out great.

Teegan

Teegan had to have surgery , he needed he tonsils and adnoids out and also tubes put in his ears. He had always had a lot of ear infections and seemed to be getting sick more and more. Not to mention that sometimes he just doesnt sleep well at nights and is up alot. His hearing test showed that he was really not hearing much at all because of all the negative pressure in his ears. We were at Madison Mermorial Hospital at 6:30 a.m. and they came and took him into surgery by about 7:30-8:00. It was about 45 min later Dr. McMaster came back to the room and told me that everything went well and he was in recovery and that the nurse would be in shortly to take me to the recovery room to be with him. About 10 min later here the nurse comes wheeling Teegan back in , they said the was very alert and his vitals looked great and so they decided that they could just monitor him from his room. YEAH! He was only in his room for about 15 min before he sat up and said "mom I'm hungry" so we fed him jello, pudding, apple juice, water and some more pudding. His nurse was so shocked at how fast he was recovering, she gave him his medicine and said we could go as long as he kept it down.. he did and we were home before noon. :)

Raging Waters & Heritage Park

Bryce and I were in charge of planning this years Luthy Family reunion. We decided to go to Raging waters in utah and also Heritage Park ( This is the place monument) WE HAD A BLAST!! We were at Raging waters for 8 hours of fun! Everyone had such a fun time playing in the water. We didnt see alot of Jeff and Sally as they were like kids all over again and were off on the slides and lazy river most of the time, in fact when it was time to leave we had to go get them because they were still going strong. !!! We did have a few oops. McKenna was doing flips in the wave pool while the waves were going and then she tried to do a front flip after the water had went down and she smacked her head on the bottom. ( good thing it was almost the end of the day) . Bryce and I had went down one of the slides that goes underground and it was ok, but apparently its more fun to ride double on it.... everyone encouraged us to try it so we did..... DANG IT!! we made the first turn great ( we were really catching speed) then somehow the 2nd turn got us... the mat just STOPPED and I went flying forward into the side of the slide with my head and ear and luckily Bryce was able to catch himself so not to take me out. I dont remember much except Bryce grabbing hold of me and next thing I knew the pool of water was rushing at my face, and I herd someone ask if I was ok. OUCH!!! NO I WASN'T... my head was throbbing so bad and my vision kept coming and going and I couldn't hear out of my ear.... Good thing it also happened at the end of the day. Glad we all kept up on sunscreen and no one ended up to sunburned. Sally and Jeff got the worse of things.
Day 2- Heritage Park.... Once we all arrived we got to ride around on the train and see everything there was at the park to go do. We went into the tin shop, leather shop and the kids got to stamp leather, panned for gold and then cashed it in at the bank for candy, made a dream catcher with the Utes Indian tribe, and seen teepees and huts. Rode on a different train, played on the boat. Unfortunately Bryce had to be on a plan in I.F. at 5:30 that same day so we were not able to spend very long at the park... WE WILL HAVE to go back there were SO many things we wanted to still go and do there. Thanks everyone for going to Utah this year, we really had a GREAT time and I hope you all did as well.

To Mars...To the Moon

While in Utah we decided to take the children to the planetarium. There were so many fun things to see and the kids had a great time. The planetarium is at the gateway so we were able to hang out and wait till Russ, Rachel and Brady made it to Utah and the joined us there. After we left there we went shopping and took Kaybree to build a bear and she made the cutest little monkey. She was SO attached to it that when we tried to take it from her to pay for it she let out the biggest scream so we just took the tag off to give to the lady. After leaving the Gateway we went to Teppanyaki for dinner Russ and Rachel had never been plus my AWSOME sister works there are gave us a GREAT discount. Thanks HOLLY (love you) :) The food was AMAZING as always and the service was perfect, I even got to have McKenna wait on us... so fun!
Thanks Russ and Rach for hanging out at the Gateway and also for going out to dinner with us that night.
