Can you believe he is 16?!

I can't believe that my sweet little boy has grown up so fast, and is now 16 years old! Time flys by way too fast!

Trevor didn't want a sweet 16 party or anything, but Jason and I wanted to do something special for him. So we decided to give him a Baltimore Ravens theme birthday. Trevor has been a faithful fan for years!

So here is the cake made just for him with his favorite team.

Since he didn't want a party, we decided to totally deck out his room with his Raven's Team colors and decor. It took some time and patience, but it turned out AWESOME!

Trevor had a team calendar, and he picked out his favorite players, which we framed and hung on the wall.

His favorite gift was the Ray Lewis fathead that happened to arrive on his birthday. Whew! I admitt I was sweating it!

The 'In Your Face Ray Lewis' fathead. This is what Trevor sees first thing in the morning. Kylie can't believe it doesn't scare him in the night! LOL!

The room turned out so much better than I had even imagined, and Trevor is very happy with his 16th birthday gift!

Happy Birthday Trevor! We love you! :)

Birthday Girls!

October is the month of "girlie" birthdays for our family! So much fun for me to wrap and bake with the color PINK! Emily's birthday table. Lots of pink!

Pink Barbie with a pink car!

Emily wanted her birthday cake to be cupcakes this year. Yummy chocolate with pink frosting!

Kylie's birthday was next. She scored with some cold hard cash!

Ahhh...petshops always brings a smile to my Kylie's face!

Kylie's cake was a cheesecake this year. A girl after my own heart! :) Happy Birthday my sweet girlies!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was a crazy one for us this year. We went to the Weber State football game that afternoon with Grandpa and Grandma Hobbs, then rushed to get costumes on for trick or treating with Tosha and Kristin, then ran to Mantua for the free hotdogs and rootbeer the fire dept was giving out, and then finally up to Providence to meet up with Kristin! Whew! Needless to say....I forgot my camera! Surprised? Yeah I wasn't either. So here are some pix of the kids before the big day. Always fun to pick out your own pumpkin to carve. We love the farmers markets along the old highway!

Guess who!? Austin dressed up for hippie day at school. I love the fact he really can get into character!

Emily also dressed up for her Halloween program at school. She was a baby, and also REALLY got into character! Lol! We hope you all had a fabulous Halloween! We did despite the fact that we got rained on!

Play Golf!

It was so much fun to go and watch several of Trevor's golf tournaments this season. These are some pix from 2 of his tournaments here at the Eagle Mtn. Golf Course. We didn't want to distract the golfers, so some of the pix are a little faraway.

Trevor made Varsity all but one tournament this year. Not too shabby for being a sophmore!

I had to get this shot of the three golf bags together. Box Elder, Mtn Crest, and Sky View.

Waiting on the 18th hole. I thought it was cool that they all 3 sat together and chatted while they waited for the group ahead of them. Trevor met some way cool guys from different schools, and really had a fun time this year. Can't wait for next year, Trevor!

The Roof Came Tumbling Down!

Mom and Dad's roof on their house has needed to be redone for a little while now, so on Aug 7th we all showed up ready to help take off the old roof. The morning started off overcast, but the sun decided to shine through a little later to make it hot and miserable on top of the house. All of the guys were on top scraping, Bryan drove the bobcat, and the girls picked up shingles, nails, and what other debris fell from the roof.

Austin was probably the only guy on the roof that actually enjoyed it! I wasn't at all surprised.

These guys worked so hard all day long! It was so much harder than it looks, and harder than I thought it would be. Mom and Dad really appreciated all the support and hard work that everyone gave them.

New roof! My cousin Blair and his son came and put on the new roof a few days later.

The house looks great and is all ready for the winter months ahead.

Yuma Summer Vacation 2010

I am a bit behind on my blog, so little by little here come the updates. In July we ventured down south to enjoy some summer sun, since Utah had been lacking at the time. For the first week we all stayed there, then Jason and the boys had to leave cuz of work, scout camp, and lack of room in Grandma's car. The little girls and I stayed for 2 weeks longer to keep Lez company while Minda was in Minnesota with mom and dad. Our family had a ball and were well taken care of! Swimming is always a priority when we are in Arizona!

Gotta love In-N-Out Burger! By the way, that is Jason's burger, not mine! Lol!

Chuckie Cheese is what my girls always choose to do while we are there. So fun!

Pretty Kylie on her horse! Well that is what she wishes!

Emily won Deal or No Deal this year! She was so excited, that you would have thought she won actual money not just tickets! Another successful Chuckie Cheese night!

This would become a very common thing to see after Emily would come in from swimming. She would be cold, cover herself up in this comfy-snuggly blankey, fall asleep......

....and Brensen or Tally would join her! So funny!

My two little girls that loved to dress like twins the whole time we were in Az.

Sad faces on our last day in Yuma! I was just as sad!
