Oh man, just my luck!

So we finally got high speed internet and guess what happens. Our computer breaks down. Hopefully it will get fixed soon, but in the meantime I won't be posted anything soon. I am using Levi's work computer for this post. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

I am a slacker!

So I know it has been a while since I have posted, but seriously it took hours to post anything because of good old dial up interent. But not anymore, I am so excited! I just downloaded these pictures in less then one minute so now I have no more excuses. I have been giving a little girl in town private dance lessons, and her dad gave us free internet for 1 year and free installation. Life is great!

Not too much has been going on in Eureka. I got a job as the cheerleader advisor and have been pretty busy going to practices, football games, pep assembly's and things like that. I will start teaching dance again next month. Levi has been busy with work and the deer hunt. He actually got a deer tag this year and got a deer. He was really excited.

The big thing since our last post is Tayton started school.He loves pre-school. He goes to the Eureka Elementary and he rides the school bus home. He loves it! He got to play soccer this fall. He loved that and he even did really good at the soccer tournament against Round Mountain.

Taytons first day of school!


I can't believe he is getting so big.



Tayton at soccer practice.



Here he is at his very first soccer game.


Tanna is growing up. She is such a busy little girl and her new favorite things are to climb up on everything, dance in circles, and she loves to grab toys and scream down the hall yelling "MINE." That is great fun for mom.

Tanna learning how to eat. (She must have learned this from her father.)


Oh, she also loves to put shoes on. As you can tell she found Taytons cowboy boots, and she loves to run around in them. She put these on all by herself and even managed to get them on the right way.


I am getting so big.


Best Buddies.


I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!

July!

I decided since I didn't have one post in July I would just sum up the entire month with one post. I will try to be a little better in August. Here are some things we have been doing this month!


Tayton caught his first fish all by himself! He was so excited. This is at Cave Lake, by Ely.



Tanna having fun on the 4th of July!


The Eureka 4th of July Parade. Tayton was in the pirate float, if you look close you might be able to see him. He thought that was great fun because if you know anything about this boy he loves pirates. The float said: "Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a Eureka life for me."


Mom and Tanna wathcing the parade!


After the parade they had a lot of kid games. Tayton won 2nd place in the sack race contest and won $3.00. They also had a nickel drop and he got lots of nickles. This picture is where they take off their shoes and put them in two different sacks. You run down, try to find your shoes, put them on then race back to the finish line. Tayton fell down and he said it was too hot without shoes, he didn't like this game too much but everything else he loved! Then we had a big bbq at the park where they did a gun fight show and it was great fun.


Fireworks! So I have to tell you this funny story about Eureka's fireworks. So the fireworks are put on by the Volunteer fire dept. They were about half way through the firework show when they got a fire call so they all just took off and the fireworks ended. We all kept waiting to see if they were coming back but they never did. It was pretty funny.



We took a quick trip to Utah to see my older brother and his wife Emily before they moved to Wisconsin. He just got back from Iraq. It was so fun to see them and Tayton thinks Uncle Jay is super fun!


Swimming at the Brigham City Pool. Aunt Whitney took Tayton down the slide, Tayton loved it!


Dad taking Tanna down the slide. She thought it was fun, she had a big smile on her face going down the slide. Not to sure about the end of the slide.


Although Tanna liked the slide this was by far her favorite thing. She loved splashing and crawilng all around in the shallow end. She could have done that all day!


Popciles, we love summer!


Life just can't get any better for a little girl when she has a popcicle!



Why we were in Utah we took the kids and went to the temple open house. We had a great time and it was fun go to the temple with our children.


Tanna's favorite was the light fixtures and the cookies at the end. I don't know how much actually ended up in her mouth, most of it was on her face.


Tayton thought it was so neet he could go inside the temple. He loved looking at the brochure and finding the rooms that matched the pictures.

Happy Birthday Tanna!

I can't believe my baby is one! She turned one last Sunday on the 7th. We invited some of our friends over and we had a fun luau party. The highlight of the party had to have been the cake. Tanna had her own little cake and she dove into it and loved it. It was so funny, she ate a ton and then she just started playing with it and by the end she was sitting in most of the cake. She is still to small to know what was really going on but I know she liked the attention that day. I think she loved it! Here are just a few pictures from the party.


As you can tell by her face, Tanna is thrilled to open presents!


Starting to enjoy!


Yummy!


All clean and showing off her new sponge bob pj's. Can you guess who gave her that present? Tayton is such a fun big brother.
