First Day of Fair

doesn't she look cute in this little cowgirl hat. shes a natural haha
Yahhhh it is finally the time of year we all love. We get to go to the fair and stuff ourselves on all the greasy foods and kids can play on the rides for hours. We love going to the fair. Girls and my mom have been counting down the days to go. Yesterday was our big day it was so much fun. My aunt and uncle even showed up for awhile. Made Trista mad she is to small for the slide but could ride most all the big power rides you explain that to us. Vanessa has finally gotton to big for some of the rides :(

This is one of the rides they let Trista on but not the slide. People are nuts she loves the power rides. They couldn't wait all day to ride the ship. Lets just say my aunt got on it with them and Ryan and wasn't feeling good after it was so funny.



This is Natalia and I at her 1st concert. Yep she is 6 weeks old and loving it. It was loud but she sure thought the light show was awesome. She only slept through part of it. She was awake more then Trista. My cousin's were 2 rows down from us and wanted the kids (darn) Vanessa loved it. Trista got a good rest in.

Ryan and I enjoying the concer. Jason Aldean was a fun concert. It was a great get away. Just hated getting up to get the girls going the next morning. Vanessa was ok Trista was a nightmare. We drove slower then normal looking at how huge the fire was on the desert.

They love to ride the rides.




They are getting ready to ride the roller coaster



they are in the back and loved it. (click to make bigger and see their faces haha)



My aunt got the girls cowgirl hats they were so excited and love them.

Ryan's big fishing day

Ok so I have had a few requests of this next picture. It was Ryan' uncles last day visiting and we went to Little Wood and fished (well those who know me know how much I don't like fishing) but then we took the kids swimming at high 5. Well Ryan went fly fishing which he has learned to really love. Well just as he made his way back to where we were this was his big catch of the day. Look closely. :)

Here is my adorable hubby @ little wood. He is my everything I don't know what I'd do without him.

After School

It was tough getting kids up this morning but once they realized it was school they were up and going. They loved getting up with daddy and having breakfast with him before he left for work and got some goof family time. Even little Natalia was awake and happy. They were busy talking about the Fair and how excited they are to ride rides with daddy. I am so thankful for my wonderful family.

Her 2nd day of school and so much attitude ha-ha.

The girls first bus ride together. Trista was excited. I don't know if it was that or taking her snacks to school that she gets to share. (pre-schoolers get to have snack time and teacher requested some to keep on hand her dad brought home a huge box of goldfish)

They are so little to ride the bus. I can't wait to hear how she did riding the bus without Vanessa since Trista comes home about lunch time.




Here is Trista's first craft she made at school. Its a mask. She is quite proud of it and tried to get daddy to take it to work with him it was so cute.



Trista couldn't wait for Vanessa to get home so she grabbed my camera and took a picture of me.



Ok so I said it was to quiet while they were gone well when they both got home together they were so hyper. WOW!!! Trista came home and talked most of the way home. She thankfully took a nap when she got home. Then she was so good when she got up and still talked about school and who she saw. Then it was she couldn't wait for Vanessa to get home. Vanessa talked for like 2 min. about her day and Trista was still going this morning. Amazing how different kids are.

First Day of School

I am sitting here at home not knowing what to do with myself. Natalia is asleep my house is picked up and I have no kids to chance after. Ya i'll get use to it in a few days but right now I can't wait to pick them up.
Vanessa is a big 2nd grader this year. So independent. She wanted a shoulder bag for school and thats what she got. She wanted me to take them to school so I could walk her to class. She got out of the car and found a friend and was gone.
Trista is the big pre-schooler. She was soooo scared last night and didn't want to go to school at all. So after calming her down she was ok. She got up this morning so excited. She even convinced Uncle John to go with us to drop them off. Mima came over and took pictures for their first day. It was a good morning. She got to school and had a death grip on my hand. She saw some teachers from church she knows and that helped. Her bus driver said hi and made her smile. She thinks its funny the teachers showed her where her bag went, and well let you know that bag she had it planned for a long time all she wanted was a hannah montana bag, and not to get it confused with the Tristan in her class. That poor teacher haha. Teacher took her to go play with play dough and I took off before she could say no.
Cant wait to hear about there day. We'll let you know how it goes. I know its harder on me then anything. Of coarse Ryan laughs at me.

Fishing

Well Natalia went on her first fishing trip this weekend. Ryan's uncle was here so the girls were happy they got to go a lot. Plus gave me an excuse to play with my new camera which I love. They had a lot of luck at Little Wood and had a lot of fun swimming up high 5 later that day. It was a very fun weekend. Ryan was more then happy to pose for a picture with his angel. Then thought it was cute Natalia was full of smiles on the way fishing. Kids are fun.

5 Weeks Old

Where does the time fly. Our little Natalia is 5 weeks old already. Amazing how time flys so quick. I added a few pics. One of her in her first jacket. We were heading to Mima & Papa's for breakfast and it was way to cold for a t-shirt so we had to dig out the jacket. Then the other is her sleeping so peaceful. The last is her and I the day after my birthday in the shirt Vanessa got me and pants from my mom. Loads of fun around here.

Happy 27th to me!!!

Wow my birthday is here and gone. Seems like the days you look forward to fly so fast. We had a great lunch in Twin with my girls, Ryan and my mom. Then got to go shopping for a new outfit with my mom. Natalia gave me an awesome present I am back into my clothes I was before pregnacy so that made me happy. Girls sang to me every chance they got. There were a lot of singing people that day. After the great dinner we went to my parents house for presents. It was like 10:30pm so we are all a little tired.












Trista gave me amazing gifts. Everyone seemed to give me chocolate. Gosh like I like chocolate or something haha. I was so excited. Ryan got me a new camera that I had been wanting forever. I can't wait to sit and play with it.








Vanessa was so excited to get me the shirt that says "Cute but Psyco" she still giggles looking at it. the card that says I Love You is from Vanessa I thought it wouldn't stop telling me to open it. Then Trista insisted that I get balloons. Then that morning I got a call from a friend that said my name was on the radio. Well thanks to my cute hubby putting my name on the radio I won a cake so he didnt have to make one :) Thanks to everyone for a great birthday.

August 17, 2008

Well us girls had a great weekend. We were all sad daddy had to be on call this weekend so he had to stay in Ketchum all weekend. So us girls decided that we would join him kinda like a vacation. We had so much fun. Natalia even got to go through her first car wash of coarse she was so thrilled she slept through it all.

We were thrilled Natalia is officially 3 weeks older then her new little cousin Layla. We can't wait to see them in a few weeks and get pictures of the babies. Congrats Randall & Kaci we are so happy for you.

Ok if we look closely at Natalia's "born in 2008" picture she has her Uncle Dusins hair line. She is losing her hair on top. I am not kidding it looks just like his does. Ryan and I laughed giving her a bath "see what happens when she's named after him." I know your laughing reading this. Hope she does grow hair better then him or she'll have a tough life :)

Hope everyone has a great week this is the last week of summer vacation for us. I have to much left to do not ready for summer to be over yet. But as Ryan says its coming into his favorite time of year with all his favorite holidays.

on his way

When we were taking Bryce to the MTC (I believe it was March 2004) he was off to Taiwan. These were the first pics we got of him and Trista without her screaming. The middle pic is one of my favorites of Pops (Lamar) and Vanessa.

Girls Summer 2006

Here are the girls Vanessa & Trista. Took these pictures (2006) in Idaho Falls. They had so much fun taking them and doing all their funny poses.

Some of my favorites

Well there is Bryce (Ryan's youngest brother) with Vanessa Jan. 2008 at the airport in SLC we are waiting for our missionary to come home (Sister Ashley Newcomb) which became Bryce's wife in May. They were having fun taking pics.
Then you have Tyler and I at his senior prom. Ryan & I were chaperones and had a lot of fun. I even got a dance with him and yes I am very much prego about 6-7 months along with Natalia. Then our little track star Vanessa this spring had a lot of fun.









The next two pics are Tyler and I christmas 2006 he loves that I am his big "little" sister since he is 6'6" tall. So everyone loved the idea on my lap. I was very much squished after this pic.
