so my little gage turned 5 i cant believe it time sure does go by fast. i put some pics of him from when he was little. just so i could remember what he was like. he has been so much fun. the light of my life he is such a blessing and so much fun to be around. he is little adult.sometimes i forget how small he still really is because he talks so grown up. but happy birthday Gage we love you so much and hope you had a great day.Hope you all have fun looking at the pictures i have posted.sorry it took so long but a ton i guess has gone on.so his birthday he had 2 parties one with friends and the other with family. we just did a water party in the back yard it was pretty fun. it was supposed to rain but it turned out good. so im glad./ he got so spoiled so thank you everyone that supported my little man.

So 7 years we have been happily married and still going strong. i feel closer to my husband now then i did when we got married. what is strang to me is that i know a lot more about dusty now than i did when we got married its kinda scarey. lol but i feel very fortunate to have him as my husband we are very compatable. i feel like we balance each other very well. it just seems we grow each year we are together and i am so glad that i have him. i can not complain he really is great. thanks for the great 7 years together, hope there are many more to come. we celebrated by going to dinner at the timbermine and then we went to a movie and up to wolf creek. my parents were so kind to keep our kids. that was very nice of them. so thanks mom and dad for letting us have a grown up night it was a blast.

2009-07-07T22:08:00.000-07:00

it was really fun though it was the pussy cat dolls and brittany and the pussy cat dolls really did a great job they actually sang live ha ha but brittany did good but not really a child friendly enviornment but there were tons of little girls. what were their mothers thinking? it was a good people watching place.

2008-11-10T20:49:00.000-08:00

So for all of you who don't know i have been working really hard to lose some much needed weight. a while ago i went through some health issues and was gaining weight and didn't know why we found out later that i had a tumor the size of a golf ball on my thyroid so i had to have it removed later they told me i had thyroid cancer and were confident that they had removed all the cancer. to hear that word is pretty scary. but that was some of the cause for my weight gain i wont say it was all but some so anyways i am 100 percent recovered and have never felt better. i had no idea thyroid controlled so much. women should all have their's tested i had the lump in my throat for probably 2 years that i know of and it was never detected so it is important to have it checked every once in a while. back to the point i have worked my butt off and have lost 40 pounds in about 4 months i have lost a total of 16 inches so far, these are my most recent pics. its kind of embarrassing now to see where i was but i just look at how far i have come. i still would like to loose about 10- 15 more but its a lot of work ill try to keep you updated. sorry about the pic where my head is cute off. ha ha

2008-11-10T20:43:00.000-08:00

Here are some of our pics when we went to the utes game it was so much fun and a great game. it was cold but not if you moved around which i did! me,dusty,kael and emily his brother and wife went. there was snow under our chairs. after the game we were going to ride tracks but so was every body else so we walked from the stadium to main street i know we are crazy but it was fun.

2008-11-03T19:35:00.000-08:00

so here is an update on brycen: he has been doing really well, he is just over 20 pds wow i know I'm starving him. lol he is sitting and so close to crawling he kinda goes backwards and it makes him so mad that he cant get anywhere. he is such a happy baby smiles all the time but I'm sure any day now he will be on the go he is almost 8 months and i cant believe it times just goes so fast. he is going to be a monkey for Halloween so we will for sure get the pics of that it will be fun

2008-10-13T17:48:00.000-07:00

ok we all know how i have been slacking life has been crazy! we have done so much i guess since i have posted. we went on another trip to island park and the dunes in sept it was great we went with my family the weather sucked though it rained a lot but it was nice to just get away. it was an adventurous trip we had a lot going on: such as me and dusty ran out of gas on the way there but did end up coasting to the gas station thank goodness cause we had a trailer on that would have been fun NOT! then Dusty's chain flew off his bike and broke the casing on his engine. then my dad's transmition blew up and we ended up having to leave one of our trailers at the cabin and towing my dads truck home and the tire on the trailer towing my dads truck blew so it was packed with adventure for sure but it really was fun.

IN LOVING MEMORY GRANDPA TRACY: NOVERMBER 11TH 1937-AUGUST 3RD 2008
My grandpa tracy lost his battle with cancer on august 3rd 2008 i just wanted to do this as a tribute to him. He suffered a great deal with this cancer, it pretty much took over his whole body and at a very rapid pace. he was so brave and never once did i hear him complain. nothing is harder than watching your loved one go through something like that. he was a great man and i will never forget him. i will miss the times i gave him perms yes perms:) i think he did it more for my grandma she always wanted him to have them to look nice. it did look good but it was funny to perm his hair. we had some good beauty shop talks. he liked to sleep in my chair while i did it. i will miss his jokes he was quite the joke teller he always had one for you. one thing i will say is what a hard worker he was he put so much heart sweat and tears into his job and he was a great baker for all those who didn't know that about him. i wish he could have had more time for himself but duty calls. i will also never forget the wheel chair ride me and my sister took him on at the care center it was the craziest ride I'm sure he ever went on. i told him next time we took him for a ride he would need a seat belt and helmet we both almost ejected him from the chair. but i think he had a good time. probably one of the last good times he had out. he will be greatly missed and i will think of him often. i do want you all to know that life is so short and to live each day like it is your last take time to smell the flowers cause in no time at all it is gone and you cant go back so do the things you want to do that make you happy, and thank you all for the support it meant a lot.

Brycen did great for his first time in a tent and Gage just loves the mountains just like his daddy he did not want to leave. we enjoyed just spending time with our little family.It was so much fun watching Gage explore he is getting so big, i cant believe it. he is so much fun and i enjoy having him around. He takes such good care of his little brother too. I wish we had more time to stay up there but it was nice to just get away. And YES there was still snow in july it was CRAZY! dusty and gage had a snow ball fight here are the pics i hope you enjoy them.

so gage is 4 years old i cant believe how fast the 4 years has gone. i never thought i would see this day come so fast. he has been such a blessing and i am so stund at how big he has gotten so fast. he is the light of my life and i love him so much. even though he is only 4 he sure has tought me a lot. lets start with patients :) love, compassion and understanding. hell he has even tought me things that i didn't even know. he is such an intelligent little guy far beyond his years. i have enjoyed so much watching him grow but some how feel a little robbed at the same time because 4 years is gone in a blink of an eye. i just think of how fast the next four years will come. so i am trying to enjoy every day and take it all in i want to remember every little thing about him. i think it is so great to just watch him discover new things every day kids are great have you ever watched their eye's light up with the simplest things like a air plane or a lady bug have you ever watched them study something new and just see the wheels turning? i love it. if only we could all stay so innocent the world would be a much different place. anyways gage has been such a great little boy and i feel so lucky to be his mom and even a part of his life. i hope he had a great birthday. he was so spoiled we had his first friend party at toads and it was crazy but they all had fun.dax we missed ya buddie. but it was a great time. then the next day we had a lower key party at our house with my family and he was spoiled that day too. he has had one busy weekend and now its over. so we say good bye to another year i just want all of you who came and supported us we really appreciate it and all you did for gage. we have such awesome people in our lives and we cherish the friendships that we have. thanks again we hope you all had a great time as well. i posted his b-day pics below watch out there is a ton i had to make 2 slides have fun looking at the pics
