Christmas 2010

This year we stayed home for Christmas :) The kids were so excited to wake up and see what Santa had brought them! There is nothing better than kids on Christmas morning. They were all very satisfied with all of their presents! We had a Very Merry Christmas :)

Tanlie got a new desk, just what she wanted. She also got a calender for her "class room" and a bunch of other stuff for her desk (she loves to play school)! And of course a pillow pet :)

The only thing Brylie would tell us she wanted for Christmas was a pillow pet. So she got her pillow pet, and a new doll house. She also got a fur real dog that walks and barks and a bunch of other stuff.

Brogan got the horse stalls he wanted along with some more corrals. He also got real tools and a bunch of kits with projects that you can build. Santa also brought him buzz light year and some buffalo chaps just like dads.
The kids were entertained for days with all of their new toys :)

Brogan playing with his animals, building a project with dad, playing the U-draw on the Wii, and dad teaching him how to shoot his bow and arrow.

Christmas Eve

On Christmas eve we met Casey and Laura's family and went sledding and had lunch together. Then we went home and the kids opened their Christmas Eve presents. They got pj's and games. The kids played their new games and then we headed over to our friends Dusty and Diane's for yummy prime rib dinner :) The kids were excited to get home and get to bed so Santa could come. They decorated some cookies for Santa and sprinkled magic reindeer food outside for the reindeer ;)

Feeding the reindeer magic food, and decorating cookies for Santa :)

12 days of Christmas

My mom did the 12 day's of Christmas for our family this year. Instead of just presents she tried to do things that we had to do as a family every night. My kids loved it and looked forward to opening a new present everyday :) We got to make cookies, decorate a gingerbread house, have a movie night with Carmel popcorn, decorate mugs for hot chocolate and eat yummy cinnamon rolls, play games, read books and lots more. It is definitely something my kids will always remember. Thanks mom your the best!!

My cute kids dressed up for their school Halloween parties :)

Halloween

This year we went to Panguitch for Halloween. Brandon went hunting and Brogan chose to go hunting with him, so he missed out on trick or treating (mom got candy for him). We got to follow the bus in from Tashia's volleyball team taking state, then we had a Halloween lunch and then headed trick or treating. It was freezing cold, but the kids still loved it!

The week before Halloween we went and stayed with Ginger in St. George. We had lots of fun decorating pumpkins, and we went to Staheli farms. The kids had fun watching the pig races, playing, eating, and reading stories and eating s'mores around the fire!

Happy Birthday Brogan!

Brogan turned 5 on September 27th. Some of his cousins came over to our house for his party. We ate lunch and then went swimming at the Fillmore pool. The kids had lots of fun together :)

Brylie 1st Day of School:

Brylie also started school this year! It is kind of crazy to have all my kids in school :( She goes to Miss Monica's Preschool in Meadow. I left her literally laying on the floor kicking and screaming for about the first week, but now she loves preschool. Here she is on her first day!!

August 2010

2011-01-15T07:33:00.000-08:00

1st Day of School...

The kids started school on Aug. 25th (Tanlie's Birthday). Tanlie is in 2nd grade and her teacher is Mrs. Stephenson. Brogan started pre-school at the elementary school. His teacher is Miss Guillette. I left Brogan kicking and screaming, but it didn't take long for him to adjust! I can't believe how fast my kids are growing up :(

Happy Birthday Tanlie :)

Tanlie started school on her real birthday so we let her open her presents the night before. She got a stand up jewelry box for all of her jewelry, she is such a fashion queen!

Tanlie celebrated her 7th birthday in Panguitch with her cousin Tayze. They had Princess and the frog cakes and we just played games with all of the cousins. I gave her the choice of having a party at our house with her friends or going to grandmas, of course she chose Grandma's house!!

Fishing

Back in August before school started we went to Panguitch for Tanlie's Birthday party. We decided to go up to the lake and take the kids fishing :) We didn't catch too many fish, but had lots of fun!

St.George!!!

2010-09-09T18:00:00.000-07:00

Before school started the kids and I spent a week in St. George. The kids did swimming lessons twice a day and loved it! We also went school clothes shopping and even spent a day at Sand Hollow with Grandpa Red Dog. It was a great way to end summer vacation!!!

Brandon's Newest Hobbie!

2010-09-01T07:06:00.000-07:00

Brandon has been training a team of mules to pull this summer. They got a bunch of teams together and cut the grass hay, and we have been going on lots of wagon rides. I think my husband was born a little too late, he should have been a pioneer.

24th of JULY

2010-08-31T08:18:00.001-07:00

This year the kids and I spent the 24th of July in Panguitch. Brandon stayed home to finish getting the hay up. The kids got to ride on the Henrie's Drive In float with Grandpa Henrie. They all had matching shirts and looked so cute :) They had fun throwing candy. Grandpa and the great-grand kids that rode on the float!!

That night we did some fireworks!!!!

It's Where FUN is!!!

St. George :)

2010-07-30T08:11:00.000-07:00

Since Brandon had to make a quick trip to Colorado, we decided it had been way to long since we had been to St. George, so we took off for the weekend. (Except for Tanlie, she chose to go with her dad and she had so much fun.)

Some pictures of Tanlie's trip to Colorado with her daddy!!!

We stayed with Ginger and had a great time :)

We took the kids to the wildlife museum's Kids Club. They got to learn about animals, take a tour of the museum and then do a craft.

We went swimming @ Grandpas 2 days and loved it. It was sooo hot, it felt good to cool off in the pool.Friday night we took the kids to the movie in the park. They had fun, but got tired so we left about half way through.My kids were so excited to hear the ice cream truck/van, so we had to buy them an ice cream. They thought it was pretty cool, and wondered why we didn't have one at our house ;) When the kids would go to bed, Ginger and I would stay up and work on our projects! We painted Brogan's barn ( I finally gave in after months of begging, he would say to me "Mom barns aren't supposed to be brown, they are supposed to be red and white") and we painted Ginger's kitchen table. We were pretty happy with the finished products. I am jealous of her table it turned out so cute.

4th of JULY

2010-07-29T07:37:00.000-07:00

This year we decided to stay in Fillmore for the 4th. The kids rode their bikes in the kid parade on Friday night, and then got their faces painted :)

On Saturday, Brandon and Brogan rode their mules in the Parade. Me and the girls had a good time watching the parade and catching some candy! After the parade we all had an afternoon nap and then headed to Delta for the Derby and fireworks.

Balloon Fest 2010

2010-07-01T10:28:00.000-07:00

Our annual Henrie Family Reunion was moved to September this year for Grandpa Henrie's 90Th birthday. But some of the family still went camping at Red Point anyway. We had such a good time. The kids love camping and playing with their cousins :)

Grandpa and Grandma Henrie are such troopers, still camping @ 88 & 89 years old!!!!

Every one's favorite part of redpoint, Tubin' the River :)

The kids did lots of fun camp activities. They made colored sand jars, finger painted, made foam hats and pictures, and even went on an animal hunt ;)

Brogan got his tonsils and adenoids out on May 11th. He was so brave, and only cried right when he got out of surgery. As soon as he saw us he quit crying and was so big the rest of the time :) He is healing fast and doing really good now. Hopefully he won't get Strep throat as much anymore! Thanks to my Mom for coming over to watch the girls for us!!

Tumbling Review

2010-05-10T07:06:00.000-07:00

All of the kids had their tumbling review last wednesday. They have all done such a good job in tumbling this year, they all love it. Right before the review started, Brogan ran into another little boy and fell off the floor and hit his head pretty hard. So he ended up sitting on dad's lap and not performing :( He did show us a few things he had learned after the review was over!

Since the 1st weekend in May was cold and snowy, we decided to take an overnight trip up to Salt Lake and stay in a Motel that has a small water park in it. The kids had so much fun swimming and playing in the arcade, and Brandon had fun shopping at Cabela's on the way home.

DaNcE!!!

2010-04-29T11:35:00.000-07:00

Tanlie is finished with Dance for the year. Over the past month they competed in 2 competitions, one in St. George and one in Parowan. Her group did really well in the competitions and ended up getting superior in both dances! Tanlie was glad some of the family got to see her dance at the competitions. They also did an end of year dance review. She did a good job dancing this year and had lots of fun :)

Bringing in 2010!!!!

2010-01-11T06:56:00.000-08:00

On New Year's Eve we took the kids tubing, the kids loved it. The park here in Fillmore has a hill that the kids can tube down, it is perfect cause it isn't so big that they get scared and the best thing is that they can make it back up to the top by their selves!

Later that night Dallas and McKell's family came over for dinner and games! The kids had tons of fun playing together! I had told the kids earlier that when I was a kid we used to run around the block and bang pots and pans and make lots of noise at midnight, so they were looking forward to banging pots and pans. They were getting sooo tired so I let them do it @ 10:00, and shortly after they fell asleep!! Hopefully 2010 will be a great year :)

Brylie and Dad.
Tanlie loving tubing!

Here comes Brogan :)

Brylie, I know she looks like a boy, but she had to wear Brogan's snow suit from last year (its alot warmer than her's).

This year we got to spend Christmas in Panguitch :) ........ So for Christmas Eve, the girls and I made a quick stop at the Hatch's Christmas Eve party then went back to my mom's for steak and Crab dinner (Crab is Brandon and Tanlie's favorite). We let the kid's open their Chritmas Eve presents (jammies and games). The kid's had to get in the hot tub one more time, then we played their new games and decorated cookies for SANTA! The kids were so excited they wanted to get in bed and go to sleep so that santa would come :)

We got to see the cute baby elephant.....She was adorable!

Brogan started 3 year old preschool on Monday and Tanlie started 1st Grade on Wednesday. I can't believe my babies are growing up so fast. Brogan wasn't sure about school the first day, but on wednesday he did much better and said it was fun. I was worried about Tanlie going to school since we just moved and she didn't know anyone. I was so proud of her she did such a good job! She was really tired when she got home and didn't want to go back today (she said it was too long) but she went anyway and hopefully she will get used to going all day!

This year our 4th of July was a little different. Brandon's boss needed him to take some stuff to his ranch in Colorado, so he took us with him for the weekend. It was so beautiful there. We had a big BBQ on the 4th and played in the pond, then did fireworks that night. They have an elk ranch there that people come to hunt on and a huge lodge, Ron took us through the elk park and to see the lodge and of course I forgot to take my camera :( We saw some pretty big elk and the views at the lodge we breath taking!

Tues-Thursday it rained on and off, and then friday we got one hot day to play in the freezing cold creek! Brandon usually never gets to go with us cause he is always right in the middle of cutting or bailing hay, but since it was so rainy he go to come for a couple of night!

Friday and Saturday we spent the day swimming @ Brandon's Dad's house.

On Saturday we headed to Las Vegas! We were all supposed to go down and swim at the golden nuggett for Quincy and Katie's Birthday's, but it only ended up being all the sisters that made it. The kids had lots of fun swimming and playing in the huge suite that Grandma got for us! My mom even bought us all tickets to a magic show one night, it was pretty cool.

The Swimming pool was really neat. There was a big aquairum in the middle of the pool full of Sharks and other big fish. There was even a hydrotube slide that went through the middle of the aquarium!

Waiting for the magic show to start!

Tanlie and Taya loved serving everone at the bar in our suite!

This year for mother's day when we got home from church Brandon was all packed and ready to go up the canyon for the day!! We had so much fun. Brandon cooked us hamburgers and dutch oven potatoes. We had fun playing and riding the ranger. It was a great mother's day!!

While we were in St. George, Ginger was nice enough to take my kid's pictures. Even though the kids weren't behaving the best, the pictures turned out pretty cute. Thanks Ginger!!

Easter Weekend

2009-04-14T12:11:00.000-07:00

This year we spent Easter in St. George with Brandon's Dad. We had tons of fun swimming, 4-wheeling, and just hanging out! The kids had so much fun, we stayed for 5 days and they still didn't want to come home!

A Visit to The Easter Bunny!!

Swimming!!!

The kids spent every spare second in the swimming pool or hot tub, they love Grandpa's house...:)

Coloring Eggs...:)

4-Wheeling

Tanlie was worried that the Easter Bunny wouldn't find her @ Grandpa's house, but of course he found her! They woke up to their Easter baskets filled with toys and candy, and the yard full of eggs. He even put floating eggs and money in the pool. Tanlie had tons of fun diving for the money!

After the kids found all the eggs on Sunday, we went and let the them roll eggs and play in the sand with Ginger, Shawn and Quincy. The kids loved playing in the sand and flying their kites, it was a beautiful day, we even got sunburned!

NeW PuPPy!

2009-04-06T14:46:00.000-07:00

While we were gone to Vernal, Brandon had to go up North to get some parts for sprinklers. He went to sportsman's warehouse and they were selling puppies. Those of you that know Brandon know he loves dogs, anyway he ended up buying the kids a new puppy. It is a jag terrier ( I think, I had never heard of one) and the kids absolutely LOVE it. They fight over it all day long. It is not going to live in the house, but we got a small kennel to go on the back lawn, so it can stay closer to the house for now, then when it gets bigger and the kids get sick of it, it can join the rest of the dogs in the big kennel! The kids decieded to name him SQUIRT.

Trip to VERNAL

2009-04-04T15:30:00.001-07:00

Over the weekend we went to visit Jennee in Vernal. We finally got to see her beautiful new house. We went to McDonald's and swimming at the new Rec Center (unfortunately we didn't take our camera) , and just hung out and let the kids play. My kids love their cousins so much. All the kids had so much fun together, thanks for having us Jennee!!

So Much For The Playhouse :(

2009-03-22T14:01:00.000-07:00

It is so so windy here today, this afternoon Brandon went out to BBQ some chicken and let me know that our playhouse had been destroyed by the wind:( I was so mad I went outside and this is what I found.

He said it might be fixable, but by the looks of I doubt it. I hate the WIND!!!!!!

New Playhouse!!!

2009-03-18T09:28:00.000-07:00

We went to St. George last week and I saw this playhouse @ Costco and couldn't pass it up. It was supposed to be for Easter, but since the weather has been so nice we decided to put it up early. Finally after 4 hours of assembly last night we got it put together! The kids love it.
It has a restaurant on one side, buckets for sand and water on one side, and a puppet theater. The front has a real door and doorbell, a mailbox, and a basketball hoop.

Hopefully it will entertain the kids this summer!!

Playing in the SNOW!!!

2009-02-17T07:04:00.000-08:00

Since Tanlie didn't have school Monday, we went up Oak City Canyon and went snowmobiling and sledding with Casey and Laura. The kids had so much fun!

Casey reved up the snowmobile, it covered Brogan in snow!!

Tanlie eating lunch in the sled.

The kids love to ride the snowmobile with Brandon!

BiRtHdAy FuN!!

2009-02-16T15:31:00.001-08:00

Brylie turned 2 last Friday. I can't believe my baby is 2!

My mom was able to come on Friday to stay with us, my kids had so much fun with Grandma here.

We had Brylie a Birthday party on Sunday afternoon. Clint & Missy's family, Chet & Alicia's family, Grandma Shell & Bryndee, and Grandpa Hatch were all able to come to the party. We ate lunch (which my mom made, thanks mom) and had cake and ice cream. Brylie was so excited to have everyone here, and loved all of her presents. Thanks everyone.

Since we didn't get Brylie's cake until Sunday, we let her blow out 2 candles in her pancakes Friday morning.

Brylie's favorite present was her baby Anabelle doll from Grandpa, Grandma and Jonnie.
A new Princess Activity desk from the Sorensens.

I Love the Expression on her face in this Picture. She was so excited to get a Dora bath toy from her cousins.
Brylie chose Barbie Diamond Castle for her party theme. Her cake was Princess Liana.

Sunday Afternoon Entertainment!!

2009-02-08T17:14:00.000-08:00

Tanlie and Brogan love to slide down our stairs on the Gymnastics mat. It is so funny to watch so I had to post a video. Brylie on the other hand hates it, we made her go down once and she cried forever. She decided to roller skate instead!

HaIrCuTs!!!

2009-02-08T16:43:00.000-08:00

On Friday Tanlie, Brylie and I met Missy and Tylie in Richfield to get haircuts from Colette. This was Brylie's 1st haircut and she hated it. She is so tender headed and cried the entire time. It's a good thing we went to Colette cause I am not sure anyone else would've done it with her screaming at the top of her lungs!! But after all the crying her hair turned out so cute. It was way past time to get rid of all her yucky baby hair.

Tanlie wanted her hair like Brylie's, but we didn't know how Dad would respond, so she got a trim and a few layers in the back.

I finally decided that I was sick of my long hair and cut 11 inches off, and I love it. Surprisingly Brandon loves it too. Anyway we had a fun day and love our new look. Thanks Colette.

A trip to Salt Lake!!!

2009-02-02T08:56:00.000-08:00

Brogan's best Tiger face!

Over the weekend we took the kids to Salt Lake. We went to the Living Planet Aquarium on Friday and then went back to the motel room and went swimming. Then on Saturday we went to the zoo. I was afraid that is was going to be freezing, but it was actually a perfect day. The kids loved seeing all the animals and had lots of fun!

Tanlie trying to touch the sting ray, when she got close to it she decided she didn't want to touch it!!

New Year's Eve!!

2009-01-01T11:29:00.000-08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

For new year's eve we went over to Brandon's Aunt Kandi's house, we ate dinner and were supposed to play the wii and cards, but Brandon ended up getting sick so we left at 9:30. Tanlie and Ellie Kate were having so much fun playing she came home with us to play for awhile. I let the kids go outside @ 10:00 to bring the new year in a little early(Brogan didn't even make it to 10:00). They blew noise makers, did confetti poppers, and their favorite was the silly string. Tanlie was tired and went to bed so me and Brylie stayed up to watch the ball drop on T.V. and then went to bed.

Christmas

2009-01-01T07:48:00.000-08:00

On Christmas Eve we went over to Dallas and Mckell's house for dinner and a movie. The kids decorated cookies for Santa. We decieded to let the kids open presents from each other on Christmas eve, we figured they would appreciate them more, they also got to open their Christmas eve PJ's.

We spent Christmas day at home again this year. The kids were so excited to see what Santa had brought them. They all loved everything. Tanlie got a DS and a CD player. Brogan got a train table and a remote control dinosaur, and Brylie got twin dolls with bunk beds and a high chair. We had a great Christmas.

The kids on Christmas morning waiting to go see what Santa brought.

Brylie taking care of her new dolls.

Brogan's new dinosaur and train table.

Tanlie playing her DS and CD player.

Brandon bought the kids a new saddle and hats. He also bought Brogan Chaps, boots, and a belt with a belt buckle. I think that this was Brogan's favorite over all the toys. He has to get dressed up like a "real coyboy" everyday.
The day after Christmas Ron, JoAnn, and Jonnie flew in to see the kids and ended up taking Tanlie and Brylie home with them. (Brogan wouldn't leave his mom). Since my car is broke down, and I wasn't too high on flying, I caught a ride to St. George with Brandon's Grandma Bev. Brandon was supposed to go on a hunting trip, but his friend ended up getting sick and they didn't go, so he came and got us earlier than we planed, but we still had a good time. On our way home Brandon thought we should surprise my mom and go to Panguitch for the night. We got to see everyone's Christmas and even though it was a quick visit we had fun.

I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas.

My Mom's Christmas Party

2009-01-01T07:11:00.000-08:00

The weekend before Christmas we went to Panguitch for my mom's Christmas party. The kids had so much fun. My mom had tons of things for them to do. They got to make aprons, decorate cookies and stockings, go caroling on a hay ride, exchange Christmas presents, and just be with their cousins.

Santa came to visit and brought all the kids matching PJ's Brylie was too tired and missed out on Santa!

My mom's house is being remodeled so we all stayed with my aunt Colene. One night we couldn't find the three little girls, so I finally checked upstairs. Sure enough they had got in the closet and climbed in the shelves. They said they were tired and were going to sleep!

We also got to go over to spend some time with grandpa reg dog. The kids loved their Christmas presents, but most of all loved playing with all of their cousins.

Tanlie's School Christmas Program

2009-01-01T07:02:00.000-08:00

Tanlie's school did Christmas around the world for their Christmas program this year. All the classes did different dances from around the world. Tanlie got to wear her new Christmas dress and did a good job dancing and singing.

Winter Fun!!

2008-12-14T16:57:00.000-08:00

This week the kids have had some good winter fun. On Friday night we had a party with the Relief Society presidency. It was fun to all get together and get to know each other better. The kids played Christmas bingo, and then the older kids helped Tanlie and Brogan start their gingerbread house. When every one left they finished it all by their selves. They did such a good job. On Saturday afternoon we took the kids to see santa at IFA. I will have to post the pictures of them later because they took the pictures for us and they won't be back untill Tuesday. They were also doing horse carriage rides, but it was way too cold for us to ride.

Then on sunday, after church the kids decieded that since there was a skiff of snow on the ground they needed to go sledding. So Brandon pulled them behind the ranger for a little bit. It was sooo cold we had to come inside to warm up with some hot coco. The kids are so excited for Christmas. Tanlie asks everyday how many days are left till Christmas.

Decorating Christmas Trees

2008-12-02T20:24:00.000-08:00

On Monday night we got our Christmas tree out. I let the kids help me decorate it, and then when they went to bed I fixed it a little bit. Tuesday we let them each decorate their own Christmas tree for their bedroom. The kids had lots of fun and their tree's turned out pretty cute.

Brogan thinks that since we put the Christmas tree up it is Christmas, and he can't figure out why Santa hasn't brought him his "dinosaur" yet.

Christmas is so much fun when you have little kids. All of us can't wait for Christmas this year.

Disney On Ice!!!

2008-11-16T19:37:00.000-08:00

On Saturday we got to go to Disney on ice. This year it was 100 years of magic. They had alot of characters there and did small parts of quite a few disney movies. We met Missy and her girls, and Chet, Alicia and their kids there. All the kids seemed to have a good time.

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Singing At Quality!

2008-11-16T19:20:00.000-08:00

Last week Tanlie's school got to sing at Quality Market's Christmas open house. She did such a good job. I wanted to video her, but there were so many people I could barely see her good enough to get a few pictures.

Quality also had Santa there so after school we stayed in town to let the kids see Santa. Brylie got tired of waiting and fell asleep, but Brogan and Tanlie were glad to see him even if they had to wait for 45min.

Brogan was a little nervous to sit on Santa's lap, but he did it. He asked for some Dinosaurs.

Tanlie asked for a new CD player.

Halloween

2008-11-04T07:39:00.000-08:00

This year we spent Halloween in St. George with Ginger and Quincy. Brandon went hunting with my dad and Chet in Colorado, so we spent the whole weekend in St.George. The kids had lots of fun, we went to a trunk or treat and carnival and then to Aunt Shelly's and Grandma JoAnn's house. To end the night went to the Nuskin mansion. It was really cool they had the outside all decorated. The kids got to ride a little train and they gave out regular sized candy bars and balloons. We had lots of fun, but the kids got really tired, and way too much candy!!!

Brogan the Dragon

Brylie the ballerina monkey

Tanlie the spider witch

Pumpkin Carving!!

2008-10-30T07:01:00.000-07:00

On Tuesday we took the kids to pick pumpkins at a pumpkin stand over by Meadow. They had lots of fun picking out their pumpkins, even though there weren't many good ones left.

Then last night we had Dallas, Mckell and their kids over for dinner and pumpkin carving. The kids got tired of carving fast so we only got 2 pumpkins done, but we had lots of fun.

The girls enjoyed gutting the pumpkins.

Brogan on the other hand didn't want to touch it too bad he started by picking out the pumpkin seeds one by one.

Then with a little help by dad he decided it wasn't too bad.

Tanlie chose a ghost holding a glitter chain, this is her painting the chain on.

Brogan chose a dinosaur

The end results!!

Deer Hunt

2008-10-27T07:59:00.001-07:00

This year I drew out for a southern deer tag, so we went to Pangutich and hunted the whole week. Brandon and I took my 88 year old grandpa hunting with us, even though it was cold and bumpy he had so much fun. I am so glad that we were able to take him. I ended up shooting a deer right before dark one night, there were 3 or 4 deer together and I thought that I had shot the pretty good size 4 point. It got too dark to go find it so we went back the next morning, and this is what we found. Oops, I guess that I shot the wrong one. Oh well I guess is will make some good jerky!! My sister Missy went with us and on the way back to town she shot a pretty good 2 point. We had a good time hunting and Brandon was pretty patient with me. ( For those of you that don't know he takes hunting pretty serious.)

Grandpa Henrie all bundled up

While hunting one morning we got a terrible phone call that informed us that my cousin Hutch had been killed in a car accident. I still can't believe that he is gone, he will be missed so much in our family. He leaves behind his beautiful wife who is 2 months pregnant. His family has been through so much they have lost their sister, mom and now brother in 7 years. My heart aches for them. We went to Hutch's funeral on Friday and decided to stay the whole weekend. (Thanks for having us Wayne and Jess.) We went to Thanksgiving point and just hung out and played games at Wayne and Jessica's house. They had close to 30 people staying at their house it was so much fun just to be around all the family.

We love you and will miss you Hutch!!!

A Fun Weekend!!

2008-10-15T07:41:00.000-07:00

Last weekend we decided to go to St. George because Tanlie was out of school on Friday. We had such a great time. Most of my family was down there because Panguitch was playing in the 1A state baseball tournament. (For those of you that don't know, my brother-in-law is the coach.) It was fun to watch the baseball games and they ended up taking 2ND place. We stayed with Ginger the whole weekend and had so much fun. We took the kids to hike the crack one night, they had a great time climbing on the red rocks. We also took the kids to Staheli Farms. They loved looking at the animals, riding the cow train, the pumpkin patch, and just playing on all of the other fun stuff that they had there. Thanks for the great weekend Ginger!

Playing on the red rocks.

Fun on the Farm

The Cow Train!

Brogan and Quincy love each other so much, they have so much fun playing together. Every year they have been the same thing for Halloween, so while we were together we had to get their pictures in their cute dragon costumes! I am so glad that my kids are so close to their cousins, I am so blessed to have such a great family!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROGAN!!!

2008-10-01T07:57:00.000-07:00

Brogan turned 3 last Saturday. We celebrated his birthday in Pangutich because Chet and Alicia blessed their baby on Sunday. On Friday night Brandon took Brogan to the lake to go fishing with Grandpa Rex. They stayed at the cabin and had lots of fun. On Saturday Brogan had a fun birthday party at Grandma Hatch's house with all of his cousins. We played some games, decorated hats and of course ate. He got lots of presents and loved all of them. The whole weekend was lots of fun, the kids didn't want to come home. Thanks everybody for helping with the party, and my kids over the weekend. I wasn't much help because I ended up getting strep throat for the second time in 3 weeks. Its a good thing Ginger was there to take care of me, she is the best sister ever.

Brogan chose cars for his party this year!All the kids with their hats that they decorated.

Fishing!

2008-09-22T08:15:00.000-07:00

Over the weekend we went to Chalk Creek, by Fillmore to go fishing. It was so beautiful up there the tree's were starting to change color, and of course I forgot my camera I was so mad at my self. We didn't end up catching any fish, but we saw alot of fish. The water in the creek was so clear you could see tons of fish swimming around. We also saw some lizards and snakes (yuck). Even though we didn't catch any thing we had alot of fun hiking, riding in the ranger and just being out of the house for the day. The pictures that I am posting are off of my phone so they aren't the best, maybe next time I will remember my camera!

Playing on the bridge!

The mighty fisherman!
I had to post this picture of Brogan, lately everytime he finds a big stick he pretends it is his cane and says "look mom I am Grandpa Henrie".

Brylie thinks she can drive the ranger.

Tanlie's Birthday was on Monday, August 25th. I can't believe my little girl is 5 years old. She got spoiled this year and got to have 2 parties. Over the weekend we went to St. George and had a party with all of the family at Brandon's dads house. Everybody had tons of fun swimming and eating pizza. Then on Monday she had a party with a few of her friends at our house. She got tons of Hannah Montana stuff and loved all of her presents. Thanks to everyone for making Tanlie's 5th birthday special.

The Zoo

2008-08-11T14:42:00.001-07:00

Last week Laura and I decided to take the kids to the zoo. The day before we were going, Ron came through Delta on his way home to St. George and wanted to take the kids home with him. I gave Tanlie and Brogan the option of the zoo or St. George, and of course they chose to go with Grandpa. They had tons of fun. They got to go to the Washington County Fair and won too many stuffed animals. They had fun swimming in Grandpa's pool like always and Tanlie even got her fingernails and toenails done with gel. I decided to still go to the zoo with Laura. Brylie and I had a good time together even though I felt like I was missing something all day!The kids with their winnings from the fair!!
Tanlie's cute fingers and toes!!

THE REZ

2008-08-06T10:32:00.001-07:00

This past month we have been spending alot of time at the reservoir, boating. The kids love to swim, play in the sand, ride the banana, and have even learned to wake surf with Brandon. Last week my mom and all my sisters came to go boating, none of our husbands could go so it was just all the girls and the kids. We had tons of fun.
