June 2009

Paige loves to do anything Camille is doing. So yep, she got her own toothbrush and does exactly what Camille is doing. Maybe she will learn some really good habits and maybe Camille will always watch what she says and does if she knows someone is always watching
She's walking! She had a great time just toddling around all day while the other kids played
A round of mini-golf! Paige and I kept score!
Oops! Didn't know I downloaded the same picture twice! oh well, they look really cute
Paige turned one year old on June 19. I can't believe how fast time goes by. She is such a sweet little girl and I know that our whole family is so glad she joined our family. Brandon and Zack were flying back from a week long baseball trip in Florida on Paiges birthday so she just basked in the attention she was getting at home from the rest of us. She just patiently sat by presents and loved everyone singing to her and loving on her.
When she finally got to open her presents she loved them. She kissed and kissed the baby until time to go take a nap. She also danced with the musical ride on toy and even loved the bat Trevor gave her. She didn't really care what it was. she loved everything
Zack spent the week in Florida with a group called coast to coast baseball. he was one of three kids from Utah who was picked and total there were 65 kids from around the US. He had a great time playing a heck of a lot of baseball, learning new techniques and meeting new friends. It was a great experience and will pay off in his future as far as baseball goes. Thanks to all those who helped him earn the money to go. It will be a memory he will never forget!
SAFE!!!

Spring has Sprung

Just a little Randomness. Softball and Baseball are back in full swing! I can't believe I can honestly say that I miss them during the long winter months but I really do. I love watching my kids play and enjoy what they are doing and its so nice when the weather cooperates! Camille is playing up this year as she has one of those messed up early birthdays and can only play with the girls her age every other year. So she is a little nervous about keeping up with the older girls but I don't think she'll have much to worry about. Zack is done with High School ball and is looking forward to Summer ball. He leaves for his Florida baseball trip in June and he is really excited about it. Brandon is going with him and he thinks he won't have much to do. I don't see what the problem is. A week in Florida with out a schedule. Sounds like Heaven to me! Zack is also busy working at Soldier Hollow this year and between school, work, homework and baseball. He is getting a little taste of what its like to grow up. Poor kid hehe!! Trevor has been playing baseball in Riverton 2 nights a week and has alot of tournaments coming up. The little creepers have been struggling to get any wins this season so far so keep your fingers crossed that something will kick in. He also ran a mile by mile marathon saturday. I think it was district wide and he had a really good time. Brandon and Camille ran with him and he got 10th in his age bracket. He got a medal and a T-shirt and he was pretty excited about that! They are definetly more like their dad then me when it comes to running. Thank goodness! Paige is already 11 months old! MY BABY! where does the time go. She is a little spoiled and really have no idea how that happened! She walks around the furniture and will stand for a bit on her own but she really sees no need to take off walking on her own when she has so many people around willing to pick her up and get her what ever she wants. Brandon is signed up for a few triathlons this summer as well and has been finding hard to get training time in so far. He is always busy with his little sprinkler business and trying to make it to all the kids activities. He is such an excellent dad! I get exhausted just writing down their schedules. He starts training in Deer Creek for the swims any time now if any or you are interested in jumping in with him! I will be taking a break for tending kids for the summer months to make sure I get to spend alot of quality time with my own kids and I'm looking forward to doing some fun things. Suggestions are always welcomed! I hope you are all looking forward to this time of year as much as I am!

Baby Fears

So, we were on our way to Riverton to a baseball game for Trevor on Wednesday and we were really early so we decided to make a quick trip into Cabela's. Brandon was carrying Paige and Trevor and I were just behind them making our way through the store. We walked up to the display of the mountain with all the animals on in and the stream with the fish along the bottom and Paige totally freaked out. She grabbed tight to Brandons shirt, hid her face and started shaking. so we hurried past and finished our shopping and then walked again past the display to check out and once again she spotted the animals and had the same reaction. I was just curious if any of your kids have had some unexplained fears and what you have done to get past them. We had sortof planned to visit the zoo for her 1st Birthday but with a reaction like she had I am not thinking it would be a good idea. She also has a total melt down if she is in he same room when I decide to vacuum. Its a little crazy. Anyway, tell me what you think

Off the World Wide Web!

As most of you know I lost my temper with comcast and had them remove their services of internet and cable television from my home and now its been almost 3 weeks since I have had either of them and I don't see a time in the near future where I will be signing a new contract with a provider. so if any of you know of a service that doesn't require a 2 year commitment and is reasonably prices please let me know! In the mean time, I guess you will all just have to come over to my house for a visit too find out what all the kiddo's are up too! Later!

Junior Prom 2009

I got some pictures from the Prom of Zack and his date!  Looks like they had a really good time! 



Last Night was WHS junior Prom.  Zack is a sophomore and his date was Shayla McDonald.  She is a Senior so they didn't have to be at the school to do the Promonade.  So I didnt get any pictures of his date.  I hopefully can get a hold of her mom and get a copy of the ones I am sure she took.  Zack looked so handsome and really cleans up well!  He wasn't excited at all the his darn mom got the camera out.  Grandma and Grandpa Bonner let him drive their car so he didn't have to be seen in the mini van!  YIKES!  that would have been miserable!  I am pretty sure he had a really good time.  

Its rare that I have a picture of us all together

Its not often I have a picture of the whole fam damily all together!  This was taken a few months ago and it won't be updated I'm sure for a year or so.  I figured we all spent most of the time in baseball uniforms might as well document what they look like.

my Girls

Paige is getting so big so fast!  I can't hardly stand it!  I went into her room the other night when I could hear her hollering for someone to come and get her and found her standing there waiting with this big ol' smile on her face.  I am pretty sure she thinks she is 2 not 7 1/2 months!  Then,  Camille made me proud by making the top 12 in the 7th grade spelling bee!  She is such a little smartie pants!  She studied the words for about 20 minutes the night before so I can only imagine what she would have done if she would have put forth a little effort!  The little turd!    I won't tell ya the word she got out on.  Ask her, she might!  

NUFF SAID!

CONGRATS TO MY BIG BROTHER!  THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN!  WHOOO HOOOO

Cross Country Skiing!

Camille has been taking cross country skiing lessons at soldier hollow this year!  She picked it up really fast and moved from the beginner class (little vikings) to the advanced (Speed Demons)  in two weeks.  She has went with me a few times too and kicks my butt every time. She would make a great personal trainer someday!  She cheers me on and laughs at me all at the same time.  

Blonde's Have more fun!

Trevor thinks he needs to be blonde!  I wasn't sure who he was when  I pulled in the driveway!  He wanted to do this because the wrestlers do it every year for state and he's a wrestler now!  Thanks Colleen!  Still pretty cute don't ya think!  Makes those big brown eyes POP!

Basketball!

Zack has really enjoyed playing on the high school sophomore team!  He is the smallest on the team.  (not sure how that ever happened)  but he is a firecracker!  He plays a Lot and I am learning to enjoy myself in a gym without the floor being lined with wrestling mats.  I know that moms think that their kids are the greatest and I am no different.  Zack Rocks!  He is so good to me and has always treated me very very well.  I am sure there isn't anything Zack can't do!  He is kind, smart and good looking too!  IF you get a chance to come watch a game ( they usually start at 3:30)  please come!  You'll be impressed too!  I love you Zack!    This is a picture of him taking a few foul shots!  He hit them both! I suck with a camera so you just have to squint I guess!

Random thoughts and Pics

Malissa sent up a couple of the cutest bows for Paige and I think she is adorable in red so I couldn't stop with just one picture.  Also, Trevor has been taking few pictures and caught Brandon sporting a bow himself one night and enjoying his nightly orange.  Its what he does every night before he goes to bed!  and the pictures of Trevor are of his match when he got his butt whooped!  and the muscle he pulled!  Poor little Trevor!  Paige also loves Grandma Bonner and I thought it was a cute picture but I think mom would disagree!  but she doesn't know how to blog and see this so she can't tell me No!

Update!

I can't get lots of things to download right now on the internet so you just get a quick little update without pictures and cute blog backgrounds until I can figure what the heck is going on.   The fam all had the day of on Monday for Martin Luther King Day so we woke up really early and headed down to Draper to go through the tour of the New Draper Temple.  It was beautiful.  My kids were interested to see more then just the two rooms that they got to see a couple of years ago so I didn't hear one complaint about waking up early and going to do  something religious.  Paige even stayed very quiet the whole time.  She just kept dropping her binky and thought it was funny.  Trevor of course had to go to the bathroom so we had to stay at the back of the tour group and he just might have a claim to fame as being the first to pee in the temple.  I thought we would get to see more of the inner working rooms of the temple but I am not complaining a bit.  

Then Tuesday night, Zack had a basketball game in Union and forgot his basketball shoes so he got to sit on the bench the whole time.  Lucky kid!  Pretty sure his coach is really bugged so I am letting them handle it and staying out of the whole thing.  Trevor had a wrestling match in Salem and went 2 for 4.  Not too bad!  He did have a kid that was all american last year and the kid put the banana split on poor old Trev!  They had to stop the match cause he screamed so loud!  Needless to say Trevor is walking with a little bit of a limp today.  and will be sore for  few days but he can't wait to learn that move and try on some other poor unknowing kid!

Bringing Home the Silver!

Wasatch Hosted a Tournament today!  Trevor was on fire!  HOTT, HOTT, HOTT!   He pinned his first match with a kid from Duchesne..Then He pinned again on a boy from Layton.  His championship Match was against his own teammate.  He lost that one but he looked really good in every match.  It was a really fun day!  The poor kid he was wrestling thought he was going to choke to death. I think I hear that come out of every kids mouth that loses!    We spent about 5 hours in a hot smelly gym!!  It was GREAT!  

2009

Wow!  The Holidays really flew by and I enjoyed them so much this year!  I loved having all the kids home and Brandon got to spend most days at home with us as well this year.   We had Zack's Birthday,  Christmas, Trevor's Birthday and New Years!  I was also a little glad to have all the parties over with and could just spend some quiet time at home as well.  Zack is officially a licensed driver and has taken some of the running around duties off my hands!  I think I love that part!  He has had a few trouble with the little green ford but nothing too bad just yet!   He is back to every day basketball practices and games and also early BASEBALL  has began!  Can you believe that?  Baseball in January!  So he is a very busy kid.  He also was asked out on his first date to the School Dance Morp!  Its in the middle of January and he hates when I talk about it so sorry Zack!  Camille started Cross-country skiing up at Soldier Hollow and really seems to enjoy that.  She has a class 2 days a week and goes with Brandon and me a few other times. She has alot of her dad in her luckily and only has to coax her mom down a few hills and doesn't seem to have the fear I have.  She laughs at me alot but takes good care of me as well.   Trevor is still wrestling and has practice 4 nights a week and seems to really be enjoying it.  He has done pretty well at the tournaments so far.  he is about 5-5.  But always has a smile on his face when he is finished and can't wait to get there every day!  Good Job Coach! (That would be Landon and Shayne)  Paige is growing like crazy.  She mastered sitting up just in time for Christmas and has really enjoyed playing with her toys.  She loves music!!!!  She has two teeth and seems to be back to her pleasant self now that they have came through.  She is scooting all over the place but it is in reverse.  She moves the wrong way and then gets mad and goes back to rolling to get what she wants.  I am so grateful for my wonderful family and how much joy they bring to me.  I hope 2009 is a fantastic year for everyone!
