March blew in like a breath of fresh air.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all we had some much needed sunshine after dealing with the winter inversion and a vortex of sickness between all the kids. It was sunny enough to break out the shades!</div>

We had a fun St. Patrick's Day. I was lax with the camera and didn't snap any pictures during the week our leprechaun Shamus O'Reilly visited or the chocolate gold coin loot he left on St. Paddy's Day morn. I did however, get a picture of the apology note Ava left Shamus after she gave him a make over with make-up and then was devastated when we told her he was going to leave and never come back. </div>

He accepted her apology but didn't cause any mischief or participate in their traps until he was thoroughly cleaned. Our St. Patrick's Day feast this year consisted of Beef Stew made with shortribs and Irish soda bread homemade by Tyson himself. It was fantastic and the kids actually ate some. For dessert we had Green mint shamrock shakes.</div>

After the holiday, my niece Tanille and I went to Arizona to visit my sister Michelle and her family. It was a fun girls weekend full of movies (Divergent), bowling (I scored like a 50), service for starving children (box 500), good food (Michelle's taco salad), card games (Oh My!), gym time (working it), hiking (or trying to kill me) and pink eye (yep I got pink eye about 4 days before the trip). We also learned that I am an alarmist and panic when stuck between a rock and hard place. My other sister was suppose to go with us but sadly she had to have an appendectomy on the day we flew out so she was unable to join us. We had so much fun just being carefree, kid-less and responsibility-less for a weekend. </div>

While I was gone, Tyson and the children survived quite well. He even braved the zoo on two different days and let the kids take friends. If any men need lessons on how to be a good Mr. Mom, then Tyson's the man to teach you. The kids probably didn't even miss me.</div>

In the midst of our adventures at Antelope Island, we had to get in and out of the car a lot and Talmage got weary of not being able to see anything. He finally had it and would not let us put him back into the car until we reversed his car seat to forward facing. Now he is a happy camper (or car rider at least). </div>

<span id="goog_407213464">We started off by experiencing Tepanyaki for the first time </span>with some friends while we helped them celebrate their cute daughters 7th birthday. It was delicious and fun! Claire and Talmage were momentarily traumatized by the huge burst of fire as the cook lit the stove, but the rest was just fun!<br />

Claire picked the blue ice cream and ended up looking like Grandma Nae at her birthday party. She thought it was funny for these pictures, but later when it wouldn't wash off, she lost her sense of humor...(but Tyson and I didn't).<br />

I hosted a little baby shower for my dear friend Katie who was expecting her first little bundle of joy! We ate some fattening Chinese food from Asian Star and gorged ourselves on homemade ice cream and chocolate sauce.<br />
(Sadly this is the only picture that I took. We sent Alisa this picture since she couldn't be with us and to cheer her up as she was living in the middle of a winter vortex in Michigan). <br />

Talmage was experiencing #2 of what ended up being 3 consecutive ear infections so we enjoyed a lot of snuggling at the expense of his suffering. Poor guy just took one health hit after another from January through March.<br />

His ear infections would advance to eye infections that then excoriated and chapped his little cheek. He looked pitiful!<br />

On a funny note, every time we go to Old Navy, Claire has to say high to "the other Claire with brown skin". She goes up to her and hugs her and greets her like a long lost friend. So cute and kinda creepy. I mean she hasn't even seen a episode of Today's Special. Maybe this is a sign I need to start doing some play dates for her. :)<br />

She requested a rainbow cake but I had my doubts about trying to do a huge layered cake so i decided to do cupcakes in glass containers so you could see the colors. I used <a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/white-almond-sour-cream-wedding-cake-69630" target="_blank">this</a> recipe for the cake batter and it was delicious. I did a regular butter cream frosting but substituted out a little vanilla with a little almond extract. </div>

January began with us celebrating New Year's Eve a day late on New Year's Day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our kids are little and don't know any better so we decided to postpone our festivities for a night because I had one last paper to submit. We celebrated the New Year with the Ramsey's who are our great friends and neighbors. We had appetizers and made fun cotton candy flavors with our new cotton candy machine that we got for Christmas. We had fun, but of course didn't stay up too late since all the kiddos were pretty young.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took a week off of school work to kind of recoup and then had to dive back in. But we decided to make some time for some fun too.<br />
<br />
Poor Talmage, always the guinea pig with his sisters. Or should I say baby Moses in a basket.</div>

Talmage also started making some headway in the walking department. He has stood for along time and would even take some steps while holding furniture, but he wouldn't pull himself up to standing on a regular basis. We found him up in bed a few times but now he is finally doing it regularly. Our hardwood floors make it slippery, but he finally is finding his footing.</div>

That is why we had to take a little trip to Midway with our cousins to see the Ice Castles. We had fun singing and re-enacting the song- "Let it go". Hope everyone around enjoyed it to!</div>

We attempted to go see the ice castles again with our friends the Ramsey's but it was the weekend of the Sundance Film Festival and it was cold and crowded. We scrapped the ice castles and headed to Provo to eat at Bajio and hang out at the Riverwoods. Ava R. said her infamous words "I'm tired" and then promptly fell asleep at the table. We all had a good laugh because she does it almost every time. I wish we had a good sleeper like that!<br />

Just like November, December was a bit of a blur as well. I was working on some final papers for school and trying to ensure that my kids made happy memories and enjoyed some of our usual holiday traditions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first of our traditions is the arrival of our of our family's elf that comes from the North Pole for the month of December to help remind our children that Santa is watching them and they had better be on their best behavior. It was fun this year to catch the girls talking to him sometimes and sending messages to Santa (not always about what they wanted for Christmas).</div>

I decided to take a night off the the school work and have some fun. A good friend of mine (who also happens to be a neighbor) and I decided to host a Favorite Things Party with some gals in the neighborhood. We had everyone pick a favorite thing that was $10 or less and bring 3 of that item. Each person presented their favorite item and then picked 3 names out of the bowl to see who was lucky enough to get their item. Each person went home with 3 things. I scored big time because I got an awesome smelling candle from anthropology called Volcano, some EOS chapstick and some JR Watkins natural lemon lotion. All things I have never tried before but now love. Everyone brought a favorite appetizer or treat to share and we snacked, visited, and laughed the night away.</div>

It was a busy and crazy month and in all honesty not my most favorite or memorable December.<br />
Next year will be better when I am not in school.<br />
But we had a fantastic Christmas morning and day.<br />

Because we were on vacation over Talmage's 1st birthday I was delayed in getting his 1 year old pictures taken. Because he still looked so much like his last set of pictures and he wasn't walking by his 1st birthday, I decided to have my talented niece take his pictures rather than make a production of it and get all our pictures taken at a studio. She did a fantastic job and afterwards I realized just how much he has changed. I loved all the pictures but here are a few of my favorites.</div>

Good thing I scored a keeper. He really kept the house running in November and December while I finished finals and prepped us for Christmas. He is a great team player, a wonderful father and the best helping husband. I bet everyone reading this is jealous...well you should be! He is the best!!<br />
<br />
Other happenings in November included:<br />
<br />
Dinner at Market Street to celebrate my in-laws anniversary.<br />
This cute boy loves his grandpa.<br />
I hope my sweet boy is cut from the same cloth as his daddy and grandpa.<br />
Then he'll be quite the catch and a "keeper" one day too!<br />

Ava (our little artistic girl) won the reflections contest for photography in her grade (1st). She got a medal and her entry was sent on to the district level competition. She also got to have lunch from McDonald's brought to her at school and she was so excited and proud of herself.<br />
<br />
The theme was Believe,Dream and Inspire.<br />
Ava took a picture of her jazz dance teacher instructing the class and wrote a little paragraph about students believing they will be dancers one day and dreaming of being on stage and the teachers and professionals that inspire the dream.<br />
We are so proud of our "little fousa".<br />

We hosted Thanksgiving dinner at my house for my mother, my brother Sam's family and some of my nephews. I am so mad that I didn't get any pictures...not even one of the house set up, the awesome Turkey (that Tyson cooked of course) and the awesome people that we got to spend the holiday with. I guess I was so worried about hosting that I didn't get to take time to enjoy it and get some memorable pictures. In the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, all I could envision was the scene from National Lampoon's Christmas vacation where they carve the turkey and it deflates. But Tyson did such a good job. It was so flavorful and moist and everything turned out delicious! After eating, visiting and enjoying pie, we went to see the new Disney princess movie Frozen with our friends and neighbors the Ramsey's.<br />
Great movie, great company and great end to a wonderful holiday!<br />

She insisted on being a lady bug for this occasion so we went with it. </div>

So it appears I fell off the band wagon with blogging. Actually I made a conscious decision not to blog because we had a really busy fall and I had to make school a priority. In July I decided to go back to school for my Master's of Science in Nursing Education. My current position at my job now requires all new hires to have their Master's degrees and I had been trying to figure out when it was going to fit into my life. I finally took the leap when I realized it was never going to be completely convenient. Once October hit, we have been in a constant state of go-go-go and I decided I needed to concentrate my downtime to school. But I want to make sure that I finish my 2013 goal of keeping a record of our family fun and happenings so I need to wrap up a few really important events that concluded 2013.<b> </b>First up:<br />
<br />
<b>Twelve Months Old v.s. One Year Old </b><br />
<b>{either way he is still my baby} </b><br />
<br />
My baby turned 1 years old. But let's be honest, I didn't really say he is one when people would ask his age. I would refer to him as 12 months old and now I still say 15 month because it makes him sound more like a baby and I don't want him to grow up too fast. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few days before his actual birthday, we had a little Party to celebrate him. My husband loves Shark Week on the Discovery Channel and he subjects me to the terrifying documentaries all week each year. We thought a shark party would be fun first birthday theme.<br />

We love our shark bait!<br />
<br />
Some things he was doing at 12 months.<br />
-getting better at eating food but still a little gaggy<br />
-stands against furniture and getting close to pulling himself up<br />
-Says "Ought Oh" and points to things that he wants<br />
-loves his dad and shakes his head "yes" when you ask "do you want to take a bathie?"<br />
-crawling everywhere but loves to crawl on his forearms and knees (looks like he's on a treadmill going nowhere on a slippery wood floor<br />
-loves fudgesicles, green beans, any and all fruit, bread, cucumbers and pretty much whatever is put in front of him.<br />
-like to try and play catch with his sisters. loves balls and chasing them.<br />

<b>Road Trip to Oregon</b><br />
<b>for Tyler and Whitney's Wedding</b><br />
<br />
We decided to have some fun, support some family and check one place off our bucket list and travel to Oregon for my nephew's wedding. It was a quicker trip than we wanted but we maximized our time and did just about everything we wanted to do. The kids were fantastic on the drive there. They watched movies and snacked without complaint.<br />

We drove a little longer and further than we had originally decided we were going to do so it was great that they slept until we rolled into a Best Western Inn Plus in Hood River. It was actually really nice and the kids were great to unload and go right back to sleep. We all slept in a little the next morning before enjoying a wonderful restaurant style complementary breakfast. When we pulled in, it was dark so we couldn't see anything, but in the morning we woke up to this view. It was spectacular!<br />

We enjoyed breakfast and then set off to enjoy a day of site seeing.<br />
We drove through Portland and then straight through to the coast. We drove through a portion of the Tillamook Forest on our way to the Tillamook Cheese Factory. We have beautiful mountains in Utah but these were just different.<br />
So Beautiful!<br />

At the Cheese factory we did some sampling and got a little tour. Our kids love cheese so they were in heaven.<br />

These girls are full of good poses!<br />

Then we headed up the coast. We stopped at Rockaway Beach which was beautiful! The Oregon Ocean Coast is beautiful. With the white caps, water, blue skies and clouds it is hard to tell where the ocean ends and the sky begins. So different than the Hawaiian Beaches but just as beautiful.<br />

We love the majestic rocks formations just off the beach.<br />
It rained off and on as we traveled up the coast which brought some unexpected but beautiful surprises.<br />

When we finally hit Canon Beach (one of stops Tyson requested because he had to see the Goonies rock) it was pouring rain. I didn't want to get everyone soaked so we drove around for a bit and then I finally told Tyson to park and to go look and get his pictures by himself. Tyson ran to get some pictures and as he came back I just said a little out loud prayer "Please Heavenly Father we just need 10 minutes of no rain". Just like that, it stopped raining and literally the clouds parted and the sky and sun peaked through and it was like the heaven's opened. We all got out of the car and got to enjoy some beach time.<br />
I loved this beach and could have stayed there the rest of the day.<br />

The girls wanted to dip their toes so daddy went with them. He confirmed it was cold but Ava (as usual) didn't seem to mind (I wonder if she has circulation problems). We had to do a outfit change back at the care since they got wet but I am so glad they got to have fun and play in the first ocean they have ever seen. They were wide eyed and ecstatic the whole time.<br />
Claire found a furry friend at the beach and Tyson found one by the road.<br />

Anyone who knows Tyson know that he loves big foot (aka sasquatch, yeti or abominable snowman). He was serious about doing some squatching while we were in Oregon. He even wore his favorite shirt with big foot riding a unicorn (don't ask me).<br />
We headed up to Astoria to get some dinner and to make our final stop to see the Goonies' House. It was the best fish and chips I have had and Astoria is a beautiful little town. Apparently the same man owns the house that owned it when they filmed Goonies and he is fine with visitors to his property. Tyson was in heaven as he is a big kid at heart!<br />

I wish we could have spent more time in Astoria but we had to head out since we were meeting my brother and his boys in Foxgrove at the hotel. We mapped it out on my iPhone GPS and picked the shortest of 3 routes, not realizing that the road we picked took us through a nature/wilderness preserve. Within 15 minutes it was pitch dark, with heavy fog rolling in and we were on a tiny little two lane road just like in a scene from Sleepy Hallow where the fog and foliage is so thick you can't see the sky or even 2 feet in front of you. We got passed by a truck in the first 5 minutes and then didn't see anybody else the entire time. There weren't houses or anything that we could see and my GPS didn't work since there wasn't internet service. The fog and extreme dark made it so we had to drive so slow and I almost had my first legitimate panic attack. All sorts of scenarios played through my head like scenes from a bad hitchhiker psycho movie where we break down and Tyson walks for help and he disappears and we never see him again. I was worried that we would be lost and stranded and worse yet discover big food but not live to tell about it. We almost hit 3 different groups of elk and deer trying to cross the road but luckily didn't encounter any bears or Sasquatches. My phone GPS started working just as we missed our turn off (thanks be to Heavenly Father) so we were able to turn around and go the right way. I have never been so happy to see civilization again. Luckily our children slept through it and no one was panicked by me. Lessons learned: always take a physical paper map, always plan to be back to familiar ground before dark, the shortest path is not always the quickest, go the most populated route, and Oregon is foggy so don't get lost!<br />

The next day was Tyler's wedding so we spent the morning with my brother and his family and then began prepping the girls for the roles as flower girls and ring bearers.<br />
There were so excited and they did an excellent job. My nephew Parker actually got his certificate to perform ceremonies and married Tyler and Whitney. It was beautiful and the scenery was gorgeous.<br />
It was a day full of love, celebration and beauty!<br />

This picture of a hippo brings back so many memories of my mom. Any family member reading this might remember the story. Maybe one day I will write it down. Needless to say I messaged this picture to my nephews while we were at the zoo.<br />

It was a quick trip and we only stayed through a long weekend. Before our long drive home, we visited a vineyard with my brother and his family. It was beautiful and the sky was so clear you could seen Mt Hood.<br />

As we drove home we passed some tree farms. There lines of trees were amazing!<br />
We drove straight through and it was crazy. By the time we realized we needed to stop, we had no choice but to keep going because there was no where to stop. We had to pull over a few times and do jumping jacks in the cold air. It was crazy and we learned yet another lesson on this trip: better planning.<br />

Luckily our kids slept the whole way home and even a little after we got home. At one point Claire put her blanket over her head to decrease the light coming in. It was funny.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
September came and went so fast. We struggled to get into the routine of school, homework, lessons and life in general. I got a little behind on our blog because it was a struggle to keep the day to day things up. But since the year is almost over and one of my goals related to our family theme of "I can do Hard Things" is to keep family record, I have to persist! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is a quick catch up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Claire is loving dance. But honestly the highlight of her Wednesdays is when Grandpa takes her to dance. She loves her grandpa and there is nothing cuter than a girl and her grandpa headed to dance!</div>

In preparation of Talminator's upcoming birthday, we worked really hard on getting him to hold up one finger when you asked him how old he was. He finally got it, but he was a stinker when I tried to get a good picture.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Also Ava started piano lessons at the end of September. She is taking from one of Tyson's friends from high school's wife. She loves it but when she is home she only wants to play "original" songs (her words exactly).<br />

We ended September with some really great sunsets. Nothing like a great sunset to remind me how amazing all God's creations are.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last but not least, (at least in my husbands opinion) we ended September with our first snowfall in the mountains. This is better than Christmas morning to Tyson.</div>

This girl was so excited to start school at Children's Discovery Preschool. She and I had endured a rough week and a half when Ava started school and she did not. She is a advocate of everything being "fair" and doesn't let you forget when someone gets to do something that she doesn't. She was so excited that she quickly got ready and barely would eat because she just wanted to leave. During our entire car drive she kept asking me the name of her teacher and we reviewed where she was going to hang her bag (by the picture of the bear--Claire Bear-coincidence or not?).</div>

The week before school started we had gone to an orientation day. She was disappointed she didn't get to stay when it was time to leave. She loved their toy bike contraption and I think it might actually help us teach her how to ride and pedal on a two wheeler.</div>

She loves her teachers Miss Brooke and Miss Marina and she comes home telling me all about her day. I love watching her talk while she does her little adult-like mannerisms. She really is a mini me but I hope she stays little for a bit longer. Today she showed me how she colored all the "baby a's". So far I am really impressed with her school. I didn't cry on the first day but I did on the third day. It hit me how fast these important years go by. I felt humbled by my opportunity to be her mother and a sense of urgency to arm her appropriately for the future. Good thing she is Heavenly Father's daughter first and foremost and he can help me live up to the task.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I hope she always keeps her excitement for school, her eagerness to learn and her confidence in herself to achieve anything.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Talminator is 11 months old and getting saucy. His little personality is coming more and more out. He is tender and gentle yet stubborn and vocal when he wants something. Here are some things he is doing now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-He is definitely more active. He is starting to scoot and roll and critically think how he is going to get something that is out of his reach. He has figured out how to get from sitting, to his tummy and then back to sitting. He loves to get in a somersault position and smile at people through his legs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is in the early stages of army crawling and often rocks back and forth on his knees. We lowered his bed because we don't want to find out the hard way that he can pull himself up.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-He is finally starting to ear a few solids without gagging and acting like he is choking. He is still a veggie lover and now loves his little yogurt melt treats. He goes berserk when he sees them and lets out a complaining roar when you take to long to put some on his tray. He loves to drink his bottle and fall asleep in this position....the chilax position!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
-He is getting more vocal about who he wants to be held by. He often rejects his father and has a tantrum when he doesn't get to be held by his mom. He is so a mommy's boy and for the most part...I am basking in the love. He is cuddly and tender with me. He pats my back and he lays on my shoulder and tries to give me kisses on my cheeks. He is such a sweetheart!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-He loves the tub and loves to splash. Whoever gets the honor of bathing him also gets the privileged of having a bath themselves..haha!<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-He has a new sad forced cry when his feelings get hurt or he is shy or pouting. He closes his eyes and opens his mouth and lets out a long whine. Then for full dramatic effect he puts both his hands over his eyes and face and bows his head in defeat. </div>

-He really tries to mimic sounds or even words we say. He really likes to click his tongue or growl in low animal like voice. He mimics sounds like oh no, or ought oh! We call Ava "A" and sometimes he says it after us. Of course we are going to produce talkers...have you met my husband? He also mimics actions and this is one of his best. Can you tell mommy works too much from home?<br />

Ava has been talking about her big brother Ben for a little while. She often expresses her dislike of being the oldest and having the most responsibility. The only time she recognized that being the oldest was a good thing, was when Ambria (my great niece) pointed out to her that she will be the first to get a cell phone. Well, Ava decided to create Ben herself and she was really happy to show him off. She made sure he was taller because that signifies (to her) that he is older.</div>

Claire has really matured and often enlightens me with all sorts of 3 year old deep thoughts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One day last week she was very excited when she noticed that her monkey water bottle was folding his arms "just like Jesus tells us to do". I love how observant she is (except when it is directed at me and any blemish I might have). I hope I can teach her to use that Power of Observation to look for opportunities to serve and help people.</div>

We have had some fun FIRSTS this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To start off, Claire had her first dance class at Silhouette Dance Studio. It is a combo ballet/tap class. She has been so excited about it and on the day of she nagged me every 30 minutes about when it was going to start. Of course when she got there she was a little timid, but was happy to have her friend Brooklyn in class with her. Ava's primary teacher is Claire's Dance teacher and that helped Claire come out of her shell. </div>

Claire loved being in her ballet clothes and even asked to sleep in them that night. I can't wait for her winter recital.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ava got her first black eye this week, compliments of the same coffee table that gave her her first experience getting stitches. She is 0-2 with that table and I think she should just end that unhealthy relationship. We iced it for a long time, but it progressed to all sorts of shades of blue and purple throughout the day. She is nervous to go back to school and get made fun of. I told her that people will think she is some sort of undercover/secret ninja and think she is cool. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't think she believed me!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Another 1st was seeing Disney's Tarzan at Hale Center Theater. The last two years I have taken Ava and my mom down to St. George to the Tuacahn to see a show. This year we are traveling to Oregon for my nephew's wedding and so we decided to save some money and do something closer to home. Ava has really loved musical theater and this show did not disappoint. Ava was so smitten with the aerial acrobats and all the fun dancing and animal costumes. She asked me if I would come see all her shows when she gets older and of course my answer was "Yes". It was a fun girls night. We got some dinner before the show and my mom enjoyed a little bonding time with us. We already know Mary Poppins' is coming next year and we want to go.</div>

And finally Tarzan and Jane. Ava was a little shy that he had no shirt on. She commented a few times that he looked a little naked. He was seriously strong though. He swung around on vines (aerial drapes) and did some amazing tricks.</div>

Can you tell she is blushing?</div>

Ava went back to school last week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is in first grade and was so anxious about all day school. We actually had about two weeks of Ava waking up in the night until she had her back to school meet the teacher day. After we visited the class, met the teacher (Ms. Nixon), picked her desk, and practiced where to stand in line after getting off the bus she was able to sleep through the night (well until the night before school). We spent a lot of time talking about what to expect and how to handle different situations. She was a pro by the time school started.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our great neighbor had donuts and juice in her drive way on the first day before the bus. The kids are all so anxious they can barely eat but it is fun to see everyone with their new back to school outfits and haircuts. You can kind of see Ava's anxiousness in her face as she smile. I know lots of mom's cry...but I just felt gratitude. Gratitude that I get to be her mother and that I get to take part in raising her, but also grateful for all the others that help me teach her and mold her into the woman she will one day be. I had flashbacks to pregnancy moments and that day she was born. I thought about her milestones and every memory made me smile more and more. I am really the lucky one...lucky to have her as my daughter. I heart my 1st grader!!!</div>

Summer raced by with a ferocity that left us with wind blown hair and blood shot eyes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it was GREAT!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We summed things up with some fun and exciting activities such as:</div>

The annual Ward Camp Out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I admit that we didn't actually camp this year or any year so far for that matter, but it is in the plans sometime in the future. We don't actually own camping supplies and my husband doesn't think a night in a small tent with 3 kids 6 years and under sounds that fun. I can't think why he things that! I actually think the kids would surprise us and be great campers but until we buy a tent and sleeping bags, we will just have to be party poopers. We had fun at the dinner and the kids loved the annual candy scavenger hunt. The night would not have been complete without a ghost story around the fire to give the kids good dreams (oh compliments of one of the bishopric). :)</div>

The Homestead Free Concert Series</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to hear my cousin Stephanie Mabey (actually 2nd cousin) who is a super talented singer/songwriter play at a free concert up at the Homestead. She has a great newer CD out that my kids make me play on repeat in the car. The CD includes a few songs she did for the EFY soundtrack last year and Ava especially loves the song Glorious. Ever since I told Ava that I had a cousin who sang on stage and introduced her to the music, she has been asking to see her play in person. We made the trek up to Heber for some yummy greasy food at the Dairy Keen and then off to the concert. Ava was fascinated and I could see her plotting her future in her head as she watched. A few months ago Ava was singing and dancing around and I asked her if she would sing a specific song (I can't remember which one but something like Twinkle Twinkle) and she told me that she only sings "original" songs. First of all, how did she know that word or what it meant? Second of all, she knows her mind and there was no persuading her otherwise. I love watching her creativity growing and developing. She starts piano lessons next month and she couldn't be more excited. </div>

Ava was a little star struck and couldn't believe she was meeting the girl that sings "If I were a Zombie." Her eyes just glimmered with the hopes and aspirations of her future possibilities. I hope she never loses that belief in herself.</div>

And of course while we were there we had to check out the crater and walk around the beautiful scenery at the Homestead.</div>

Oh, and we made new friends too! Claire again was a little unenthusiastic about one dude who tried to share the bench with her, But she loved Heather (Stephanie's sister who also is a talented singer). She was adorable with my kids and my kids love it when "grown ups" take interest in them. That is a cute and scary prospect sometimes!</div>

Taffy Town Tour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks to our great friend Katy Ramsey, we took the kiddos on a Taffy Town Tour. The fragrance was heavenly and the kids were too. They actually behaved very well and were so interested to see how the Taffy was made and packaged. They don't do the traditional taffy pull, but the kids watched while the smoothed cut and separated huge batches. Of course they favorite part was the sampling. They each got to pick the flavor of their choice to sample. Ava tried her hand at reading the label signs by herself and ended up picking caramel apple. There second favorite part was picking taffy to buy in the gift shop when we were done. There were some pretty incredible flavors. My kids wore their hair net around for days. The two babies, Talmage and Simon even cooperated and wore their hair nets without complaint.</div>

Bear Lake for a Day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had been talking all summer of going to Bear Lake for a day but never put a solid plan in the works. Then my nursing school friend Erin approached us about heading up the weekend before school started because they wanted to go and didn't want to go alone. Some friends from church decided to come too and we made a quick day trip out of it. We were a little slow getting up there due to chaos trying to get out of the house and 2 small bladders traveling with us. We went to North Beach for the first time and it was beautiful. The beach was lined with canopies and kids. The water is nice and shallow but quite a while and pretty warm too. It was perfect weather. As we drove along the beach front road the water was crystal blue and beautiful and Tyson and I immediately wished we were back in Hawaii. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Talmage loved the water and I think drank half the lake. He would get so mad if you tried to pick him up or make him stand. He wanted to sit and splash as the waves rolled in.</div>

There have been a few fires that have created some incredible sunrises and sunsets. There have been red suns and moons that are beautifully eerie. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We celebrated our 9 year anniversary last week. I am not joking when I use the word bliss in the title of this blog.We have had good times and hard times, but we have endured them together and we feel blessed in all that has happened during that time. We often use the words "Team Bringhurst" to describe our approach to how we function in our family. We are a great team and we approach every need of our families with mutual respect and mutual responsibility. I am fortunate I married such a wonderful man. My husband is the most even tempered, helpful and forgiving man. He is always quick to forgive me of my short comings and help me be a better mother. My girls adore him and he is a very engaged father.We are lucky to have such a handsome man in our life!</div>

Oh and did I mention that he makes me feel like a young girl with butterflies in my stomach and the electricity of his touch! He is the romantic sort and I love it!</div>

We had a fun anniversary this year. The day before we took a nice drive up to Brigham City to go to the Maddox restaurant. We took my mom this year since she has always wanted to go. My mom has sacreficed so much for the sake of her children. She is never concerned for herself and has often gone without so that her children could have not just what they needed but what they wanted. My wedding was no different. So we enjoyed a nice drive and had a wonderful lunch of the Maddox's famous friend chicken and rolls with raspberry butter.</div>

After lunch we went to one of the road side markets and bought some wonderful fresh fruit. Our children devoured a whole cantaloupe the next day that tasted like Heaven. The next day we spent our actual anniversary making peach jam and apricot jam. It turned out so delicious! Tyson then made a wonderful anniversary dinner and we had fun spending time with our girls. There I can't think of a better Anniversary!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Another Month Older.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really feels like his time in the womb went slower then his time outside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is my little happy boy and my heart bursts when I look at him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this age and stage and I regret any amount of time that I have to be parted from him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(okay maybe I don't regret the turns my husband gets in the night with him).<br />
<br />
Oh and he is getting wiggly. This is the one good picture I got. The rest of the pictures fall under the out-take category. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here are a few things he is doing:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-He is finally eating the little Gerber Puff snacks without gagging and acting like he is choking. I still have to break them up, but he is doing it...and loving it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-He loves food and can mostly hold is sippy cup to drink. He loves cold water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-He isn't crawling but he is getting up on his knees and rolling around to reach what he wants.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-He can do all the actions to Patty Cake Patty Cake and it is so cute. He looks so proud as he "tosses it in the oven". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-He gets mad when he is left behind and you walk away. Especially when it is mom walking away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-He loves playing with balls and now tries to toss them in the air. Looks like he is a true boy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-He loves his sisters and gets so excited when they play with him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-He is getting less content to sit in the jumperoo because he wants to be on the floor. He curls his legs and makes it impossible to get his legs in the jumperoo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-He can finally reach his legs to the floor while in the walker and is starting to move--backwards but that suits him just fine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-He is starting to talk more rather than just say mamama and dadada. He babbles in a talking voice and looks at you like we should have understood what he just said. I love watching his tongue too because it looks awkward and cute.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-He got mad at Claire when she was getting too close and tried to bite her. Oh no!! Good thing he is all gums still---no teeth on the horizon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-He loves getting bathed in the big tub and is quite the little splasher.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Last but not least there has been no change in the fact that he is a Mommy's boy. I am still his #1 and I revel in it!!!</div>

While taking the pictures, he figured out how to make the rocking chair rock and he got so excited. (Don't mind my wierd voice..I was trying to brush my teeth and really needed to spit but I had to hurry the capture the moment.)<br />

These were actually taken at the beginning of July to mark Talmage's 9 month milestone. He has changed so since his 6 month pictures. I wasn't going to do all the kids but at the last minute decided to get a few new shots. We threw on outfits and whipped out hair do's and this is what came out of it. I love them! Sometimes I over think getting ready for this stuff so the spontaneous thing was kind of nice. Besides, Ava and Claire won't ever pass up the opportunity to be photographed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They love the attention!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I promise I tried to narrow down which photos. They are just all too dang cute!<br />

A Titan Reunion<br />
<br />
We have arrived...well at least Tyson has. He can officially say he has been out of school longer than he was in school. We attended his 20 year high school reunion a few weeks ago. It was fun...ish! Luckily there were a few people I knew to visit with and then I just sat back and listened while people walked down memory lane and told stories. Tyson was fortunate enough to fall in the category of people who "time has been kind to," or who "looked just about the same." I think he reveled in that fact for a few days (I don't blame him). There was all sorts of fun like music from 1993, dancing, and even a fashion show with clothes from the year they graduated. I guess plaid button ups were the thing. Of course there was some slightly tipsy people who kept us entertained with their antics. The highlight of my night...being asked by another girl that I didn't even know if I wanted to accompany her to the bathroom...like the good old high school days.</div>

WGU</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I attended the annual Academic Conference for my work a few weeks ago. It is fun to get out of my home office and mingle with co-workers at least once a year. The meetings were good but a bit long. The highlight of the meetings for me was the keynote speaker they had on the last day. He is a artist and business strategist that helps companies more or less think outside the box and retrain their employees to Unthink their strategies to help build the company. His name was Erik Wahl and he was excellent. He painted these pictures during his presentation and it was amazing to watch. He definitely left me feeling motivated and thinking a little differently about my job.</div>

Fun at the Drive-in<br />
<br />
We had a fun time with my niece and her kids at our kids first drive-in movie experience. We saw Dispicable Me 2 and then the kids slept in the back of the man for the 2nd movie. They absolutely loved it. They piled in my niece's truck and at junk food and lounged in the jammies. We decided it was fun but the late night did not produce the sleeping in the next day we had hoped for.<br />

Pioneer Day Celebrations<br />
<br />
We started gearing up for Pioneer Day by going with the Primary to the Church History Museum on the Saturday before the 24th. The kids did pretty well. Ava loved asking about different tool and clothing items and Claire loved the kids play area. I loved all the detail that the Pioneers put into everything that they did. Their furniture, clothes, home, and buildings have so much intrict detail. They were much more patient and dedicated people. I wish we (as a society) took more pride and put more energy into our work. There was so much to see and do...we will definitely be going back.<br />

Then on Sunday the Primary Presidency put on a great sharing time for the kids. They churned butter, pulled hand carts and learned more about how Pioneers lived and the amazing people that they were. Ava can tell me quite a bit now. I love my village and how they help me teach my child.<br />

On Pioneer Day we actually broke a long standing tradition by not going to the days of 47 Parade. I regret it now, but we tried to watch a little of it on the television. Parades are way better in person. We ended up doing a picnic lunch at my mothers house and having some water fun with my niece's kids.<br />
Talmage loved the little shooting water at the end of the slip and slide and enjoyed his first ever popsicle. He even had his first mini tantrum when it was all gone. We had lots of fun in the sun.<br />

That night, we had some pizza with the Ramsey's (great friends and neighbors) and some root beer floats with homemade vanilla ice cream and home made root beer. When it got dusk we lit off some fire works. It was a lot of fun and we are definitely glad to have such great friends.<br />

P.S. Ava is still very afraid of the fireworks ever since the haywire firework on the 4th that shot at us spectators and burned part of a blanket so she enjoyed her vantage point from the back row. She wouldn't even do a sparkler.<br />

Look at the cheeky girl!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After writing yesterday about my funny conversation with Ava, I started thinking about other funny things she has said and there was one in particular that I wanted to document.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Ava was two and a half she was too smart for her own good and could be a little obstinate at times. She was also quite the candy junky. One morning she asked for some candy first thing and I told her "No, but you can have some breakfast." She proceeded to get very angry and argue that she didn't like breakfast. I again insisted that she did like breakfast and she got a very mean look at went to take a swing at my legs. I moved and avoided the blow and looked at her sternly and said, "Don't you hit mommy." She didn't even skip a beat. Her quick response was,<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I was just trying to give you a high five."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tyson and I looked at each other in shock and then broke out in laughter. We couldn't even keep a straight face to discipline her. She just got a smirk on her face like she knew she had outsmarted us. Over the years, we have had many moments like this with Ava. We giggle because it always brings back this memory.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She should be a lawyer when she grows up because she is quick at the verbal draw and she can bend the truth a little. </div>

Sometimes I get a glimpse of the mother I am, the good and the bad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was my conversation with my 6 year old this morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A: Mom, I am learning everything that I need to know about being a mom from you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
M: Really. What are you learning?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A: Like that you say no to treats before breakfast. You say no to treats before lunch and you say no to treats before dinner. And you sometimes say no to getting a gum from those machines at the store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
M: That is nice. Do I say no a lot?<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A: Well I said you sometimes say no to the gum balls.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
M: What do I say yes to?<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{Long pause of silence while she contemplated and scratched her head with a grin}<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A: Well you also tell Talmage what a cute baby he is.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for throwing me a bone Ava! I guess she had to change the subject since she couldn't think of anything that I say "yes" to. Let me also remind you that on my Mother's Day questionnaire that she did at church she answered the question "What do you hear your mother say the most" she answered, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"No Ava, don't do that." Should I have a complex? Am I constantly a party pooper? Well I guess when she asks me tomorrow for candy before breakfast, I need to leave the "no" out and say something like "Well you CAN have some cereal." On a redeeming note: she does tell me constantly that she loves that I am a nurse and I know just what to do when she is hurt. I score at least one point for that!</div>

<br />
My sister visited over the week of the 4th and there was nonstop fun going on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a fun family BBQ and got to see some cousins and my Aunt Linda and Uncle Mick who we haven't seen in a long time...too long. It was so fun to visit. We then did our traditional canyon breakfast for dinner up Millcreek Canyon. There was great food and great family to be with. The small kids love to explore the picnic ground and go hunting for treasures.</div>

On the 3rd of July we went to the Peterson's neighborhood party. Their was great treats and great neighbors to visit with. Tyson made lemon and cookies and cream ice cream. When it got dark we enjoyed a wonderful firework show. Tyson went to the annual guys movie night after the festivities. Thanks heavens they always see a movie that I have no desire to see so I don't have to get dragged to go to it later.</div>

Dave Southam always brings his cook truck and blasts some tunes. The kids made it an impromptu dance party.</div>

While Tyson was at the movie, my sister and nieces came over for a late night session of giggling, treats and Phase 10. I should have got pictures but we were all too giddy. We shared funny stories and gained some knowledge that can later be used for blackmail. Good thing we are family! </div>

On the 4th we did a little shopping, lunch at Johnny Rockets and ended at my niece's house for some fire works. Talmage had come down with a bad cold and so we made an early exit to get our overtired children to bed.</div>

Oh and one last noteworthy thing to remember. We had weird torrential rains this week and our basement toy room flooded. Luckily we got things cleaned up pretty quick and only had to rent some industrial fans to dry things out. Oh and we got some new rain gutters so it doesn't happen again.</div>
