Utah fun May 2009

I had a fun trip up to Utah this May. Blake and Melissa picked my up from the airport and took me down to their new apartment and I got to spend the night with them. They have a cute little and I do mean little apartment and I had so much fun with them! We got Pizza, and played Rummicube, and watched a movie and just had a fun time being together! Morgan my neice picked me up from Provo on her way up to Kaysville and the next day we all met at the Salt Lake Temple for Kayla's wedding. After that, I headed up to Logan to spend some time with Stacy and Dallin. Stacy and Brett have the cutest place with a nice backyard and they are growing a garden! Blake and Melissa also came up for the weekend so we had a big slumber party at her house! It was really fun...but we didn't get much sleep!
Here is Dallin on his new motorcycle! Or as Grandma Marrott would call it...murdercycle....He loves his bike! I wouldn't have thought Dallin to enjoy something so much, but he really does! (Stacy's house in background)

Dallin got a new apartment recently and he needed a "woman's touch" you could say, so Stacy, Melissa, and we MADE Blake come.....went over and did some fixing up! It was fun and we would have liked to do more, but he was so anxious we only got a couple hours to work! We just hung some pics and made these things with cardboard and fabric to take up space in his living room...it was fun!

Stacy spotted this crazy medieval looking thing at the D.I. --it was only three bucks so we decided...why not...well, it turned out to be his favorite thing! We hung it above his bed...King Dallin....

We got old records from the DI and hung them on the walls....


Breakfast at Stacy's!

I bought Brett an electric snow shaver so we had fun making slushies and snow cones...works pretty good!

But when we got to lazy....well, we ran out of ice...
we just went to the SnoShack!

Stacy and I also made some frozen strawberry jam...

Went out to visit Cole the famous racehorse, and his best friend...



And there are baby goats out there as well! I never thought I would have a daughter that so loves the country/farm life! Seems the baby ducks she had out there kinda swam upstream with the other ducks, hopefully they will come back sometime!


And yes...I got to have fun with my sisters too...

Fun times! When can I go again...???

Kayla's Wedding-May 2009

My niece, Kayla was married on May 16th and I was so excited to have a really good excuse to make a trip to Utah! The wedding was great and I had a great time visiting my kids!

Kayla, and her Dad, Scott, my only brother-my FAVORITE brother!

When Stacy, Alana, and I got there early to take her pictures, we were dying because it was the weekend that they were replanting all of the flower beds! A photographer's nighmare! There were workers ALL over the grounds and many beds were torn up with no flowers at all....It was hard to take pictures around everyone working but being the amazing photographer she is--she managed! We did find a few beds left planted and wow were they beautiful, I dont think I could dig them up!


Fun reception that evening in Midway at a beautiful resort--yummy cheesecake and great company!

My kids visit to California!

I was lucky enough to have Dallin, Blake and Melissa come for a visit on Mother's Day weekend! Blake and Melissa brought their good friends Joe and Jessica and we had a great time being together! They went to Six Flags and took Kyle and his friend, then just had fun going to the beach and just hanging out! Its so fun when the kids come home!

Blake, Melissa, Joe, Jessica, CJ, and Kate!


Blake and Melissa brought their bunny home for a visit! She is so cute! Babe even had fun playing with her!



I was "bunnysitting" while they all went out to the beach one afternoon, so I let the bunny out of her cage for a little while and I went to put her back in and was hunting for her....well it took me a little bit of hunting but found her just basking on the fireplace mantel! I think she enjoyed the cool rock under her--she was just chillin-having a great time!

Dallin and Kyle seem to have a good system going! Kyle massages Dallins neck and Dallin gives Kyle a foot rub!

Annika's cat had kitties!

My neighbor, Ann called to tell me to have Grant a Sawyer come home as their cat was having kittens! I have never seen that happen so the boys didn't really care they all kept jumping on the trampoline...but I got my camera and ran down!


The boys did come down and kept peeking their heads in but were thouroughly grossed out and promptly left--but they did keep checking in. Six Kitties later....

Bryce...Bryce...Bryce....

Every Saturday like clockwork...Bryce loads up his dirtbike and is off to the track! He is good to let me know when he is done riding and that he is safe and sound...so when I get a call from his cell phone at 11 am...it can't be good, especially when I hear the words "Is this Bryce's mom?" "Bryce had an accident and the paramedics have just taken him to Riverside Regional Hospital". He was going over some "whoops" and his back wheel slid out and he went flying into a telephone pole. He was unconsious for 2 minutes! They said that we was awake and moving when they put him in the ambulance but was having bad back pain. So Gordon was not home, but I tracked him down and he came home right away and off we went with my mind racing to places that I didn't want it to go! The car just couldnt drive fast enough and everyone we got behind seemed to be going so slow! Finally my phone rang and it was Bryce! "When are you guys going to get here--I want to get out of here!" I felt much better after hearing his voice and he said everything was fine, his back was just banged up and sore but nothing broken. He got a pretty good bang on the head but I am just so grateful that he is ok. It could have turned out so much worse. Unfortunately they had to cut off all of the expensive gear that he was wearing but I guess its a small price to pay in the big picture. Luckily his buddies gathered up his things and his bike and rode his truck to town where we picked it up on Sunday. When he walked out of the hospital though he had nothing to wear! No one knew where his shoes or "cut off" gear even was! They gave him some paper scrubs and we left feeling very grateful. What a day.....
