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.

Family getaway

Bryce and I decided we were going to go to Utah for a few extra days before the family reunion took place. We went down on Friday and dropped Taylor and Brilyn off and then stayed with Holly for that night. We did school shopping while we waited for Holly to get off work. Sat morning we went to breakfast at IHOP with Holly, Brian & Girls, Brandon and Mandy. Then off to IKEA, I needed to get some stuff for preschool and also Bryce had never been there so I had to show him around. I love how IKEA has it set up were you can leave your kids while you shop!!! HOW GREAT! After we left IKEA we went to Cabelas and looked around, and then off to Temple Square. The kids had alot of fun in the visitor center.

trucker in training.

Bryce needed to go to Boise to pick up a truck and unload it, so Kaybree and I decided that we would tag along for the day. We left Pocock shop early in the morning and headed to Boise. Kaybree was really good most of the way down. Once we arrived in Bosie and got the errands ran that needed done we were on our way to unload. Kaybree loved being in the sleeper and able to crawl around. That happiness only lasted about half way home. Then she wanted up and down and to get into everything. When we arrived at the dairy to unload Kaybree loved to see all the cows, and also loved to play on the C B radio. She was SO FILTHY by the time we got home. We enjoyed getting to ride with Bryce for the day, we were able to visit (after I finished reading my book) and reminisce about old times. Thanks Bryce for taking us with you. We love you very much.

Brittany's Playschool

I finally took the leap and started my own Preschool/ Daycare center. I had an overwhelming amount of people wanting me to do it. I have got such a GREAT response for enrollments. Even though I opened yesterday I can already tell that it is going to be such a fun and exciting chapter in my life, I love being with children and watching them learn and grow. I only wish that one day I can move into a commercial building and take on more and more children.
