The Adventures of the Veale Family

Antelope Island Field Trip 5/18/10

2010-11-03T10:35:00.002-06:00

I went on a field trip with Emilie and her class to Antelope Island. I didn't get to take any pictures of the kids while on the field trip. I was in a station as a helping parent. I was being a masonary mom that day. We were making bricks out of sand, water, and straw.....it was quite a messy job, but it was a lot of fun for the kids to come over and get all dirty and play with water....well I think that boys enjoyed it a little more than the girls did.

Anyway......needless to say I couldn't take pictures with mud all over my hands for fear of muddying my camera. So this was the only picture that I even took this day. But I loved the way that it turned out.

Soccer, Soccer, Soccer......

2010-11-03T10:16:00.003-06:00

Some of you may know that Emilie's #1 sport is soccer. These are pictures from last years team, but the teams go from May to May. She has been on the Premier team for her age group last year and continued this year. She absolutely loves playing soccer both indoor and outdoor.
Thisis what half time looks like.....coach coaching and giving more instruction.

Emilie is #2 (like poo). The other blonde at the top is her friend Summer and below #7 is her friend Camryn. These girls have been together for a few years now playing on the same team.

Emilie in action. I loved her Green shoes....you could see her feet anywhere on the field.

Action......take that goal and kick it HARD! Oh and she probably got a foul for the picture on the right. Did you know that soccer is not a physical sport? The refs usually call a foul whenever a player falls even if they shouldn't have. UGH!!!!

Zac Brown Band March 6, 2010

2010-11-02T12:38:00.002-06:00

I won tickets off the radio to go see The Zac Brown Band at the Rail Event Center. Lacy and I went and ran into Melissa and Nick.

Lacy and I had a fun filled night. We didn't watch much of the concert but listened and danced and just had a great time!

Emilie......

2010-11-02T11:26:00.002-06:00

Emilie was getting ready to go with a friend to church. She wanted her hair curled and we had a few minutes before she was to be picked up so I said let's go outside and just play around with a few pictures. I'm so glad she was willing to go along with it.
You can really see all her angel kisses in these pictures. She is such a gift to me.

I think this might be my favorite of the three. I love how innocent she looks.....not just looks she is.

And the last I think that you can tell by the way she looks that it was pretty sunny outside but she is still a beauty!

University of Utah Basketball

2010-11-02T11:13:00.002-06:00

The girls and I went to one of the U of U womens Basketball game. They had a blast collecting little things that they gave out at the game and watching the game. It was fun to have Lacy go with us since she played basketball from when she was little through high school and now as an adult on a rec. league.

Everyone loves "Swoop" even Lacy.

I think that Lacy was blushing in this picture and this was so unexpected but still fun!

And at the end of the game when the floor was cleared the girls went down so they could take a picture on the "U" we are completely a University of Utah family.

Temple Square lights at Christmas time 2009

2010-11-02T10:45:00.002-06:00

I took the girls to Temple Square to see the lights. We rode the Trax over from the Salt Lake City Library and that was fun for the girls. Emilie and Deja had not been on Trax but once or twice before so they thought that it was pretty fun.

Below is the reflecting pool and they don't have things in the water all year-round once at Christmas time.

It was a chilly chilly night and we had to go for coffee and hot chocolate after we were done walking around.

Deja didn't seem to be to happy but she was and had a good time. Just not always excited to have me take her picture. LOL!

9:13 PM and it's time to get back on the Trax. I love this old clock that they have downtown.

Ophir & Saltair Drive 11.8.09

2010-10-09T16:09:00.005-06:00

Again.....it's better late than never.

Rob and I enjoy going on Sunday drive and sometime the girls like to go and other time we just make them go. This day Deja got out of it and sent the day with her friend and we were gone ALL DAY LONG. But what fun we had adventuring.

I found this wall along side the freeway and I had to stop and see if I could get any good pictures. I think that Lacy took these pictures of Rob and I.
And of course I took some of the girls too. Lacy really liked the wall and told me today that she wants to go back there but after taking a shower and getting ready for the day.

I found this train too and had to experiment with Lacy since she is an easy person to take pictures of and she likes having picture taken.

These were taken inside the building. It is an old building that I guess people just enjoy spraying with different colors, but what a great place for pictures.

These were taken in the little place in Ophir. It's this old mining town and they have a little town place that is pretty cute too.
This picture of Emilie I have to say that we were bad parents. This is the train and we left Emilie in the car because she was asleep and we didn't want to wake her. Well we had to cross the street and hop a fence to get to the train. Emilie woke up in the parked locked car with nobody around and started crying. Good thing we really weren't too far so she felt better seeing us just across the street. I also love having these fun silly pictures of Rob and I because he never wants to be in pictures and this time he played along and even "SMILED"!

Look we can all be silly and take pretty fun pictures doing it too!

This was Emilie's idea to pretend that we were hanging out by a fire which there wasn't one but just a pit from a previous fire. The second picture Emilie said "Pretend like your affraid that your going to get burned." I look like I'm going to swat at the fire and Lacy is scared and Emilie couldn't help but laugh. :) I really do love these family moments.
They were being silly and I was just taken pictures.

Me and two of my girls!

I love both of these pictures. Lacy's picture just turned out really well and the other it looks as if Lacy (Big Sister) is showing Emilie something....just being a big sister.

This is the Good-Bye Picture. That's just what I named it. And again I just love that Lacy is such a GREAT BIG SISTER to both Emilie and Deja. She is always willing to do most anything for her little sister's.

Alway's capture your family moments. I love these times with my husband and girls and love being able to take picture to show that we really have a lot of fun just being together even when it's not going to a water park or an amusement park. Just fun being together as a family!

Emilie Turned 10 in November

2010-06-18T11:33:00.003-06:00

So Emilie had a birthday in Novemeber and had her birthday party at Classic Fun Center. All too often....it's better late than never right?

The Birthday Girl playing on the jumpies!
Little Sis Deja playing

Some of the girls hanging out while watching others skate.

Summer, Camryn and Paige....Summer is the crazy blonde, she is alot of fun to have around. These are also three of the girls that play soccer with Emilie!

Deja and Maddie....Deja was able to invite one friend to Emilie's birthday.

Pro Skaters!

Aubrey and Jessa playing in the jumpies! These two girls are also soccer players with Emilie!

Emilie and Kaylee!

The Soccer Cake! Looks Yummy right?

Time to blow out the candles!

I think the girls had a fun time and Emilie got lots of fun things from her friends. Lacy had a blast too, sometimes she thinks that she is just as little as her sisters and is always a good sport playing around with them and their friends. It's so sad watching my babies get bigger and bigger.....they have switched from saying Mommy and Mom...that has been a hard adjustment for me :( ! I love watching them learn and become smarter.

Some things about Emilie.......

Emilie has been such a blessing to our lives and such a fun addition to our family.
She enjoys school and is always getting good grades and loves to read.
She is in her 5th year of soccer (U10) as of her birthday.
She and her sister Deja love to tease eachother.
She hates Tuna.
She is wearing size 12 slim pants and already growing out of them because her legs won't stop growing.
She wears a size 4 soccer shoe and 3.5 tennis shoe.
Last time we were at the doctors she weighed 73lbs. WOW!

WE LOVE YOU EMILIE!

Black Island Farms 10.11.09

2010-05-17T11:07:00.002-06:00

Black Island Farms.....I think that this may be becoming a tradition. We love coming up here to play around and take the hayride out to pick our own pumpkins and cut them off the vine. This is way better than picking a pumpkin out of pumpkin that have already been cut off the vine. They even have corn mazes too. This year the corn mazes were of Jacob and Edward and they are a lot of fun to find your way through. The girls going down the slide forward.
And again but this time going backwards!

All the Veale girls!

Emilie and Deja waiting to go out on the hayride to pick their pumpkins!

The Pig Noses! Deja won a pig nose because they also have piglet races and I'm not sure if her pig won or if all the kids that were picked just got one.

Deja and her Magic Pumkpin!

Lacy posing!

We had a blast playing and sliding!

The Barton Babies

2010-05-10T20:17:00.003-06:00

Last September I had a chance to play with my camera and go take some pictures of my girlfriends / co-workers babies. This little boy was so cute with his little baby sister. So protective!
In a mother's hands!

Eyes wide open!

Big brother!

This was one of my favorites!

Thanks Peeps for letting my take some pictures of the babies and play with my camera!

Keith Urban Concert 9.9.09

2010-05-10T14:16:00.003-06:00

So I won tickets on the radio to see Keith Urban. If I remember correctly I won them the day of the concert and it was not just any concert, our seat were in the second row....but right up next to the stage. Of course I took Lacy! Lacy and I before the concert.
This is Lacy at the concert and you can see how close we really were!

Can you believe how soooo very close we were! The only down fall to being right up next to the stage was......if you had to go to the bathroom you had to wait til the end of the concert.....if you needed another drink....well that's just to bad! Good thing I had gone and got a couple drinks before Keith came out on stage.

I would not have changed a thing. It was so much fun being up and next to the stage!

Cascade Springs and Alpine Loop Drive 8.30.09

2010-05-10T12:07:00.002-06:00

We went for yet another drive. I really do love these adventures that we get to go on. There are a ton of places in Utah that you can go to. We have never been to Cascade Springs and decided to take a drive.

This is Deja at our first stop.

And again.....
Emilie

Rob thought that he would try with the camera!

So I decided that he should be a picture with his girls too.

Emilie and Deja still at the first stop.

This was at an overlook area and it was pretty windy. I think that this turned out to be a cute picture while they were looking at the mountains.

Emilie in the wind!

And we made it to Cascade Springs!

Our little family on the bridge hiking down to the springs.

Emilie in the tree.

The girls sitting on one of the many bridges!

Again we love our little adventures around Utah. There are lots of places that we have been and lots that we haven't. We finished our drive through the mountains and came out on the other side from where we entered and went into Heber and stopped to picnic.

I love even more that my girls will remember going on these drives and seeing theses places that lots of people never choose to or get to experience! Love family time!

Deja vs. Emilie 8.27.09

2010-02-27T20:25:00.001-07:00

Deja's Team U9 getting ready to play a scrimmage game against Emilie's Team.
Emilie's U10 Team getting ready.......

Deja takes time out to look at me for the picture.

I'm not sure what went on before, but I'm sure that it was Emilie doing something to Deja during the game and Deja ran to her to stick her tongue out at her. LOL!

Deja doing a throw in...

Emilie and Kimberlin after the game.

Deja enjoys playing goalie....

Emilie and Deja after the game.

Spacey Lacy at the game.

This game was played mostly for Deja's team to see that Emilie's team can play in positions and not all over the field. It was fun for both teams even though Emilie's team won by A LOT. Deja's team did great for having it be their first scrimmage game.

2009 Strikers Cup

2010-02-27T19:10:00.002-07:00

........................U10 Rush Girls took First Place........................ The girls without their coaches!

Emilie receiving her medal from her coach Pete Tesch.

Say cheese!

All the girls checking out the medals.

These girls played so hard for all four games and it paid off. This tournament was at the very beginning of the season and the girls had not played much together and they still did great. We had one guest player Jessa and she also recieved the game ball for being named as the player of the game from the other team.

Way to go girls!

It's Kenny Baby!

2009-10-04T13:45:00.005-06:00

Go Utes! I love that he had this hat handed to him from someone and that we wore it too! Ya Baby!
Lacy Sassafrass!

Me and Lacy! We had so much fun...once Kenny came on Stage!

It was a ladies night out (with two extras)

The two other's are in this picture!

We went to see Kenny Chesney 7.23.09 at the Rio Tinto Stadium. We had a ton of fun yelling and screaming....and dancing of course. With a couple drinks in my hand!

Thanks everyone for such a great time! I even saw my FAVORITE Sister in Law PENNEY and her hubby RON! But they had much better seats than we did. They were down on the ground!

The Mountains of Bountiful

2009-10-03T12:39:00.006-06:00

This is my Hubby (Rob) and his mom (Sally). We took an early morning drive WITHOUT kids on the 5th of July. I think that we left the house at like 5:30 or 6:00....way too early for me.
Overlooking the Great Salt Lake from a look-out at the top of the Bountiful Mountains. There are quite a few look out spots....you can almost see to Wendover from some of them.

The little pond that we like to ride our 4-wheelers to. We've seen Moose down in here a few times, but today wasn't as lucky to see them. If you look close you can see a bit of a rainbow....pretty cool I must say!

Another shot of the pond from up above. I love the reflections that I was able to get.

Another reflection, but this of I think some little creature built pile!

This was my second favorite of the pond picture!

My favorite! I love the colors and the reflections!

Slacker, Slacker, Slacker!

2009-09-30T15:36:00.002-06:00

Ok, so I have been pretty busy doing things like soccer, having surgery, and maybe just being lazy! But guess what! The hubby is goin' huntin' tomorrow after work til Monday night. I think I might be able to find some time to update the blog. I have lots of pictures that I need to post!

Josh Gracin Concert

2009-07-31T18:30:00.004-06:00

I won tickets to go see Josh Gracin back in JUNE! Yep....another late one.

This is like....girls will be girls forever and always. It's always fun to take a lot of picture before the concert. Good thing for the little point and shoot camera that we can just throw in our purses. That way the fun can continue!

Did you see those dark clouds behind us? It rained on us....good thing we found a nice warm sleeping bag in Lacy's trunk. That and the phonco's kept us warm and dry. :)

Deja turned 8!!!

2009-07-30T21:05:00.003-06:00

Lacy trying to undo the shirts.....can she do it without cheating?? NO!!!

Some little girls trying to undo the shirt.....can they do it without cheating?? NO!

Abbie staying in the wagon and away from the water and the girls. She was not about to get wet!

There was three groups of three girls. One frozen T-shirt and One cup of hot water. They were suppose to try and get the shirt undone with ONLY ONE cup of water, lots of body heat, pulling, and whatever else they can do to get it undone.

Even rubbin' the bum bums on the frozen shirt.....maybe a little hot air would help?

There girls were sneakin' around to find a puddle of water of the side of the house. (This is in June...remember all the rain we had?) They did find a puddle......CHEATERS!!

Deja really wanted a new scooter. Well she got one!

These are all the girls that came to Deja's birthday. The only part that you can see of Deja is her Bum and two legs on the right side! Do you see her?

Chloe! We made these hair ties too! One pony tail holder and lots of fabric. Kind of like what they do with the flip flops at camp.

Maddie and Emilie....what the heck is Maddie doing? Is she yelling at Sponge Bob?

Deja celebrated her birthday with lots of friends, had a slumber party, pizza, cake, frozen shirts, pancakes, and lots of girlie screams! What more could you ask for at 8 years old? I think that they all had a good time. Bye the way, her birthday was May15th and her party was not til the first weekend in June. I'm just a little late!

Washington D.C.

2009-07-12T12:50:00.003-06:00

Rob and I went to Washington D.C. for the first time on May 14th. Our main reason for going was this Son, Husband, Daddy, and (Rob's) Nephew above...and now a Graduate of George Washington Law School. Levi has worked so hard to be where he is now, everyone is so very proud of everything that he has accomplished in life so far! I'm there that there is a lot more to come from him.

Misc. pictures....First Rob's mom Sally and her sister Jeannie, they were in D.C. too. Middle: Thats me; Rob took this picture while we were at Gettysburg. Last but not least: Levi, Grandma, and Rob...this was actually at Mt. Vernon.

"Mt Vernon"

This is where our first president George Washington lived...did you know that he had never lived in The White House? Well now you know. The picture of the house is actually the back of the house; the front door is on the other side facing the Potomac River. The picture of the river is the veiw from the front door.
The two bottom pictures are of the burial places. The first and the now current location.

"Washington D.C. Metro"
If you have not been there to D.C. before. I would suggest you learn about the Metro. This was so nice to get from place to place and it was pretty fast and not to expensive.

"Our Nations Capital"
There were so many pictures to choose from. We also got to see the Senate Floor, but no pictures allowed.

"Arlington Cemetery"
This is one of the several men that guard The Tomb of the Unknow. These men have to take a very strict oath to become a gaurd for the Tomb of the Unknown. They have to go through special training to do their jobs and learn how many steps to take, how to move their foot when they stop, how to move their gun as they switch directions, and so many other things. This is a two year commitment and once they are done that oath that they take....they can not longer for the rest of their life...drink, swear, or smoke...I'm sure that there is more to their restriction. This was very cool to actually see the changing of the guard and know that I have been there.

"Antietam Battlefield"
This was the bloodiest one day battle in America. There was 23,000 solder's that died there in one day September 17, 1862.

We had Clark for the day while Levi and his wife Bonnie and something to do, so he went with us to Gettysburg and Antietam Battlefield. I don't think that Clark was suppose to play in the water....but he did and had a lot of fun doing it.

"The White House"
Rob and I in front of The White House and the other side is Jeannie, me, Penney, and Bonnie in front of The White House. We did a night tour by bus; at first I wasn't sure about doing the night tour. I would highly recommend this for everyone, unless you have a car and a tour guide to drive you around.

"Jefferson Memorial"
We went here on the bus tour too. FYI you can't get here from the Metro. I loved the colors of the sunset so I had to take a picture.

"Lincoln Memorial"
The best time to see all the memorials is at night. The night and the lights make all the monuments look better.

"Library of Congress"
This wasn't really on my list of places to go, but when I was told about the inside of the building I had to go and see for my self.

We had a great time there is D.C., although it was a lot of family for a week long time. Not a bad thing but it's not completely easy to be everyone for such a long period of time. You could be in that place for 3 years and not see everything. The museums are only open from 10-5 so unless your there for like 3 weeks you won't be able to see all the museums. We also went to the Pentagon and went on a tour...but again no pictures allowed. We saw the memorial from the September 11th crash and that was very moving to see.

Thanks for reading about our trip!

Spiral Jetty and The Salty Flats

2009-07-11T18:24:00.003-06:00

Man made Jetty made by Robert Smithson in 1970 from black Balsalt rocks. This is past the Golden Spike National Historical Site.....it was a rocky road, specially in my car. There was a ton of rocks drive over to get to it. I thought that we were going to be high centered a couple of times. It was a fun addition to continue to from The Golden Spike.

This is Emilie jumping on the Salt. I had never been out here before....it was kind of smelly and yet pretty cool. It looks like she is jumping out of the water, but really she is just jumping on rock hard salt! Not to mention she was scared to jump. I think that she thought she would have fallin' through the salt or something.

Lacy dancin' on the Salt! You can even see that she still has her shoes on.

Deja is digging in the salt.

We had a great Mother's Day adventure! We even got home to a nicely cooked Spoon Roast that had been cooking in the crockpot all day...it was so full of juices and so yummy!

Golden Spike

2009-07-11T18:00:00.004-06:00

This is Rob's mom Sally on Mother's Day at the Golden Spike Re-enactment. I hope she had a good Mother's Day with us!
No. 119

Deja and Lacy on the tracks that the trains were on. Don't they look a little Sassy?

My Hubby Rob and his mom! These good pictures of Rob and his mom are hard to come by. I have got to take advantage of very opportunity.

Locomotives Jupiter and No. 119

And of course there is Emilie! I really like this picture because there is just teeth and cheeks behind the hair.

"Golden Spike"

On Mother's Day this year we went to the Golden Spike re-enactment at Promotory Point, UT. May 10th, 1869 the driving of the Last Golden Spike for two railroad companies to come together of 1776 miles of rail....Union and Central Pacific. We stayed and watched the re-enactment and listened to the different school bands play music and sing "I've been working on the Railroad"

Who has this in their lives???

2009-06-17T08:55:00.002-06:00

"Soccer"

Both of my girls play soccer and as a parent I love to watch my girls be involved in things that they love doing. Emilie is now playing U10 and Deja is play U9....Can you say PAY ME? Who would have ever thought that it could seriously cost so much money to put your kids in sports. Soccer is not a poor man sport. Between each of the registration fees, uniforms, refs, tournaments, and whatever else comes up....we are almost going to be sittin' pretty in the homeless shelter. Ok, that is not even funny to think about. Soccer is the reason why my blog is suffering. I am also the team manager, money collector, and check maker for Emilie's team. It is a lot of fun and at the same time a ton of work.

I had to put the RED shoes up there, because at the end of this past years season Emilie needed new shoes and I made her get RED for UTAH. That also explains the RED and Black ball too!

Soon there will be new pictures, starting with my Mother's Day events!

My house is for sale!

2009-06-04T11:48:00.003-06:00

I had to share!

That's all there is to it, it's funny and you all needed to see what I saw on Nana's Kitchen blog...thanks Tammy! Although there might be some truth to the sign, but I'm not moving anytime soon!

Kennecott Copper Mine

2009-05-06T20:03:00.004-06:00

"Kennecott Copper Mine"

This past Sunday we found a new adventure. We started driving and didn't really know where we were going. We drove out south and then went way west, Rob says "I wonder if we could get up to the mine?". So we started driving out in that direction and went through a little getto town and it told us to turn around and go to 12400 South and whatever way west road we were on. Low and behold the mine was open and the visitor's center was open. I had never been out there and neither have the girls. Rob hasn't been out there since he was a little boy. It was a fun new adventure for the Veale Family.

Rain and Bloom

2009-05-06T08:39:00.003-06:00

Last week was pretty rainy here in northern Utah. We have not had much of a spring, it's been really sad. I took these pictures while on my porch with my new 85mm lens. My wind chime and my little quakey tree out in my front yard. I even got the rain drops to sit still in the pictures. I was quit proud of myself....aren't you proud of my pictures too?

Eggs, Eggs, and more Eggs!

2009-04-19T09:26:00.002-06:00

Deja and her GOOD egg!
Lacy and her GOOD egg...
Emilie and her GOOD egg!
Rob had no idea I was taking a picture of him...he is very into decorating his egg.
"The coloring of the eggs"

The girls (Emilie and Deja) get so excited about coloring the Easter Eggs. Rob says he isn't excited, but yet he is the one that takes his time to make his eggs more and more interesting each year. I didn't notice until after I was looking through the pictures on my camera a couple days later that all the girls eggs matched what they were wearing while coloring.

I hope everyone had a HAPPY EASTER

Kids...what would we do without them?

2009-03-31T08:47:00.004-06:00

Deja is always teasing!

Can you just see the sassy in her?

Ok, so today has been a morning. Deja the sassy one is lucky to still be alive today as I left for work today. I know that have all have kids because we want a family and want to share our love right? Why is it that kids that are raised the same way and in the same house with the same parents...so dang different from each other?

I took these pictures on Saturday while it was nice and sunny outside. Kids being kids, playing outside in the sun...waiting for Chloe to show up and play some more. These are my girls just being themselves!

Emilie...the blonde...r of the two, for those that don't know...she is my oldest daughter. She is very worried about making sure she trys her best with anything that she does, she is very tender hearted, just an all around good kid.

Deja...the sassy younger one, she is 7 and on her way to the state pen! Just kidding! She is a loving yet mean little girl. She does anything that she can to get mostly Emilie going...she tries hurter her feelings first, if that doesn't work then she moves on to take something or do something to her...or anyone close enough to get at. Why oh Why are they so different?

I love my girl so much and I wouldn't trade them for anything, but why is one so nice and the other not? Why does one love school and everything about and the other one doesn't? Did I do something wrong as a parent as a mommy? Were they might to be a single child? Is this payback for something that I did when I was younger? I was a good kid....I promise!

And advise would be great!

Please help me!

Sister's and Basketball

2009-03-23T13:52:00.004-06:00

Day at the park and a little B-Ball challenge.

Lacy is 19 and most of you know that she played Basketball for Woods Cross High School, she graduated last school year. Emilie; well she just likes to go and steal the ball from Lacy because she is the little sister and she thinks it's funny. So there was a friendly game of share and take away with the basketball. My camera is still set on manual and I'm still learning. But I thought that these pictures turned out good and I decided that I'd better share them. All three of my girls have some sport to them. More to come....

Attempts...

2009-03-18T21:27:00.004-06:00

Ok, so I was playing with my camera on Monday night and some pictures came out good and others not as well. But I will continue and NOT give up. Isn't that what you have to do to get better at anything? Practice, Practice, Practice.....Practice makes perfect...or at least better.

Emilie and Deja in our little tree outside our house....no stalking my tree!!!

Deja in our little tree...I like this one better than the one of the two of them.

Check out them BLUE eyes! She popped in the picture! This was my favorite....picture that is!
Now I need to find some people that want to go and take lots of pictures and practice some more. I know most people usually use their kids and I love taking pictures of my girls. But I need someone else to picture with...or maybe suggestions to make them better!

HELP!!!

2009-03-15T20:06:00.003-06:00

I am so excited to tell you that my class was a success. I had a full day of learning new things and taking pictures of different people. I took my class with Carin Davis, she held the class Saturday March 14th at the Bountiful Creative Arts Center. I learned so many new thing and I'm so excited to continue learning my MANUAL settings on my camera. I met some new friends, some that are even here close to me....YAY!

Carin gave us a book of helpful hits or flashcards.

This is a group of girls practicing...they are taking pictures of Andrea's cute shoes.
This is Andrea being the SHOE model.

Finally the cute shoes!!! Aren't they cute?

One of the the tips in the book was called..."Bring them forward" So here was my attempt at bringing Macey forward. Pretty good huh??

Carin, thank you so much for the fun class and all the learning and tips. I look forward to practicing and getting better with my camera.

Drivin' and Playin'

2009-03-11T09:05:00.003-06:00

So again, we went for another drive. We enjoy going on drives as a family. The girls pack their DS's and on our way we are. I took a few different pictures and then played with them in Lightroom. Lightroom is a really fun program, but I don't really know much about it. And for those of you that don't know, I am taking a beginning photography class this next Saturday the 14th of March. I'm very excited. One of our assignments prior to the class was to switch our camera into the "P" Mode which is where you are only switching the ISO. So I played around and my husband is good at picking out the pictures and I get out the camera.

This is a picture of the mountains towards Tooele or Wendover area from a road that goes out by Five Mile Pass. This is also played with in Lightroom. Pretty cool huh?

Emilie by a sign in Ophir, this is a little mining town along the road that we were driving on. Also played with in Lightroom. Also, I'm not sure why that white boxed stayed on the picture.

Deja by The Great Salt Lake, I was playing around with different settings and I really liked this picture of Deja.

Our most recent purchases

2009-02-20T12:51:00.003-07:00

Deja's most very FAVORITE movie! Mamma Mia

Emilie's newest movie wanted....High School Musical 3

We didn't go see Mamma Mia in the theater, but rented it when it first came out on DVD. Deja watched it once and was hooked for life. She watched this movie over and over and over again for the week that we had it rented. Then the next time we went to rent movies...you'll never guess what she wanted to rent again! So, I told her that we would just buy it next time we made our trex over to Wal-Mart I would buy it for her. It's been a while since it came out, but we finally made it to Wal-Mart last night. We bought both movies, since Emilie begged and begged for us to go buy HSM 3 when it came out. I thought I better go get it this week before they up the price by $5 bucks!

Can you just imagine what will be on our TV this weekend? We are going to have to dedicate one day to Mamma Mia for Deja. Emilie will be fine just watching her movie once for now.

Lacy Turned 19!!!

2009-01-28T08:20:00.004-07:00

Above: I don't know what the heck happend to the picture, but this is Lacy and I at Orchard Lanes. She wanted to going bowling....so that's what we did.

Above: We also went to Texas Roadhouse for her birthday dinner....we made her ride the saddle. Good thing she is always a good sport about being silly!

Above: Emilie, I don't know if she took this of herself or if someone really got a close up. She had the camera most of the time. So I think it's safe to say that these are Emilie's photography abilities.

Above: Lacy (Not touching) and Shaela. Although it looks as if Lacy wants to grab them she really didn't even touch her....but it looks like it. They were laughing pretty hard after seeing this on the camera.

Above: Last but not least....the Baby Deja. Isn't she so stinkin' cute? I love the little bob hair do on her and the THREE missing teeth!

So, Lacy turned 19 on the 8th of January. I'm finally getting these pictures posted on the blog. There were a ton of silly picutres. I think that my little girls are going to be scared for life with some of things that Lacy and Shaela do. It's about having fun though right. Lacy had a birthday week...first we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner on Monday and then bowling on Wednesday and then her birthday was on Thursday, we went shopping for clothes on Saturday. And lucky her she started her new job that following monday at Discover Card.

Lacy, we LOVE you forever and always! Hope you had a great birthday week....you spoiled BRAT!

Bedtime Stories!

2009-01-04T20:49:00.002-07:00

Movie for today...."Bedtime Stories"

We went to see Bedtime Stories today...it was good, but I think that Marley and Me was still better. Just a personal thought though. Any other thoughts???

What did you do while the Utes were kickin' butt???

2009-01-04T13:34:00.004-07:00

Shaela since you were makin' faces...I made a face for you!

Lacy was getting ready to get on the computer to give Shaela a little piece of her thoughts on Facebook!

Oh My..Is that Scott?

Lacy at her best!

So I don't know that I should addit this or not, but I don't really have a clue about Football. I like watching basketball...I can understand that game. So anyway, we love U of U and loved watching (for me knowing) that they kicked butt in the Sugar Bowl.

While the guys were screaming and yelling at the TV I enjoyed taking goofy pictures of them. I did get another good one of Rob and Dan, but decided they were not going to posted today. No reason, they just aren't. So instead you get my edited picture of Shaela, Lacy, and Scott! Emilie wasn't home, and Deja was MIA.

"GO UTAH"

Another Priceless Photo

2009-01-02T15:16:00.003-07:00

Rob and Dan

Another Priceless photo of the two of these goofy guys. This one was asked for as the others in the past were just natural. This is at our house on New Years Eve prior to the lighting to the bottle rockets that were shot off. Sorry Marilyn if we woke you up, I was told that one of the rockets landed close to your bedroom window. Lacy's jacket caught a few sparks, Scott sweatshirt, and Dan's pants did too. Good thing that we were all nice enough to put the fires out.

Christmas Eve 2008

2009-01-02T14:38:00.002-07:00

Lacy and Scott

I don't know who was taking picture with my little camera...but either Lacy or Rob took this silly picture of Scott and Lacy. Scott looks like he is ready to go to sleep....and Lacy is just as happy as can be.

Build a Bear

2009-01-02T11:43:00.002-07:00

Better late than never, right?

Emilie turned 9 in Novemeber, she wanted the big sis to take her to Build a Bear and buy her a new bear. So Emilie picked out a blue bear and of course Deja had to get herself a bear (bunny) too, but mom paid for Deja's.

Happy New Year!!!

Have a Happy and safe New Years. Bring the new year with a bang!

Marley and Me

2008-12-29T09:30:00.002-07:00

Yesterday I took the girls to go see Marley and Me at Gateway. If you haven't seen this movie yet and you love and/or have a dog beware of a cute yet sad movie. This was such a funny movie most of the way through....and life goes on. I don't want to ruin it for those that haven't seen it yet. Make sure you bring your tissues or grab some extra napkins at the popcorn counter you'll need them through the whole movie.

I have my little weiner doggies, Buster and Abbie and watching this movie makes me think of my puppies from when they were seven/eight weeks old to now. They are just as much apart of our family as our kids are. As most pets are, but not all. Take care of all your pets and love them everyday, because they love us owners no matter what...UNCONDITIONALLY!

Santa's Naughty List

2008-12-15T19:48:00.005-07:00

"This is for Aunt Penney"

"Our Aunt Penney has been put on Santa's Naughty List....She has been and very Bad Bad Girl!!!"

This is Aunt Penney at her cheesy times. And Emilie and Deja feeling very sad for their poor Aunt Penney.

I'm sure that Aunt Penney isn't going to like that we were kind enough to put this on the blog for her. But she wanted everyone to know that she was put on the naughty list.

Did you ask what did Aunt Penney do to get put on the naughty list??? Well, most of you know that I live more north then the no name store and Aunt Penney lives fairly close. So I ordered a couple of things from the store and Aunt Penney went to pick them up for me (what a nice sister in law). So a couple of days go by and I ask...

Me: did you look and what you picked up? Did you think they were cute?

Penney: Are they for Rob?

Me: No they better be kid things...

Penney: They're not it says mens

Me: I'm calling them right now!!!

So I call the no name store and talk to this girl and she kept asking me the same question over and over in different ways...and I kept telling her that I don't have the items because my (Naughty) Sister in law had picked them up. So I'm getting very irritated with the poor girl and in the mean time Aunt Penney emails me back and say's...."It's a joke...I'm only kidding!!!"

What a bad Aunt Penney....Don't you think?

I'm not sure what will come next...but Aunt Penney has more coming to her!!!

Back roads of Idaho Again!!

2008-12-02T21:41:00.002-07:00

I wanted to play with my camera again...and who better to take pictures of the my very own babies. Emilie and Deja are usually always up for taking pictures. Earlier this year we took a back road from north of Malad, ID and took it into Preston, ID and back down through Utah. I think that this is a new fun drive. There were fall colors last time and no leaves this time.

Tagged

2008-11-18T10:22:00.003-07:00

I have never been tagged before...I always see when people have been tagged and I just read them all. Audra tagged me...and I have to say I'm not sure that I'm a good taggee. I have a hard time thinking about things. So let's see what you get. 7 Random things about me......??????

I am married to my hubby Rob that is 13 1/2 years older than me. Wow!!
I have two of the most beautiful daughter's with my hubby. (Emilie and Deja)
I believe that you should always tell your kids and family you love them before you leave for the day or go to bed at day.
I love playing with my girls webkin games online...I do it at work and they don't know. However, Emilie told Deja that they were luck since their mom likes to play with the webkinz on line and get the points for them.
I grew up in Riverside, CA...better know as "The Hood"
I love reading and reading to my girls.
I'm a smartass, but very good natured!

Let's see...who do I get to tag??? Heather, Cheryl, Laura, and Bonnie you're it!

I'm a Bella!

2008-11-13T15:33:00.003-07:00

Take the Quiz and Share Your Results!

I'm Bella too! Who are you? Maybe everyone will be a Bella! I can't wait for this movie to come out. We have tickets to go see it on Saturday the 22nd. Girl time plus Lacy's boyfriend Scott unless he chickens out to stay and watch the Utah vs. BYU.

"Black Out"

2008-11-06T08:33:00.003-07:00

"U of U vs. TCU"

We are U of U lover's. Lacy and Scott were luck enough to get tickets to this sold out game. Since we didn't have the channel to watch this game....Rob called DirectTV and ordered some sports package just so that he could watch the game.

"GO UTES"

Save the Boobies

2008-10-29T12:53:00.003-06:00

"Save the Boobies"

My mom is a survivor, she was diagnosed with breast cancer about 7 years ago. She went through the chemo and lost her hair. I thank GOD that she is still here with me today. She is here for me, my dad, my brothers, and her four grand-daughter's. She was a trooper and is a survivor. I know not everyone is as lucky as I am to still have my mommy after something like this, I'm sorry for those that have lost their loved one to this awful thing.

October is save the boobies month. I almost forgot. I know I have been bad and have not had all my checks. For those of you that are a direct target, let's go have our mammograms and save our own damn boobies. (maybe this will help me get mine.)

Black Island Farms Pumpkin Patch

Gettin' ready to go out a find our pumpkins on the tractor ride.

Duck races

This was the very short (not tall) junior hay maze.

"Pumpkin Hunting"

Usually we go to Pack's Pumpkin Patch, but we went on a Sunday this year. It was pretty hard to find a pumpkin patch that was even open on Sunday, but we were in luck we found one and it wasn't to far from the house either. Black Island Farms

I would suggest this Patch again, it was $15 to get in for adults and $10 for kids. But that included the courtyard, the corn mazes, and the pumpkin patch. The Courtyard had farm animals, with pigs races...that was pretty funny to watch these cute little pigs run around a track. They had slides big and small everywhere. Paintball guns, pig and cow train...it was a lot of fun for the girls. They had four corn mazes, one was small in the shape of a pumpkin, and the others were bigger and 30 - 60 minutes long. Then last but not least there was the pumpkin hunting. We went on a tractor ride (they call it a hay ride...but there was no hay!) they took us out to the pumpkin patch, and then run. You get to go a pick your pumpkin that is STILL on the vine, doesn't matter how big or small and every single person gets a pumpkin. Isn't that great? I thought so.

One more best part about the farm this year, they donate a portion of your enterance fees to the Ronald Mcdonald House. I'm not sure if they do that every year, or if they change the donation party from year to year. But I thought it was good.

Red Ribbon Week 10/20 - 10/24

2008-10-23T21:52:00.002-06:00

This past Tuesday was messy hair day for Red Ribbon Week. Yes, we did brush their hair....but did it up a little silly. They really went to school with their hair like this, but today was hat day and they wouldn't wear a hat. Go figure!

I don't think that he pickin'
I think the girls are having more fun then Kalem.

Todd and Rita's little boy Kalem is now 14 months old, he turned 1 in July. They stayed a week with us at the end of Septmeber. Kalem can walk and run, but there is no talkin yet. He is a cute and bad little boy all in one. All three of these aunts of his love him being around so much, they wish that he would be around a lot more.

FALL FALL FALL........

2008-09-29T21:31:00.004-06:00

"Let the color's change and the leave's fall"

So I found time to add the pictures to the blog tonight....can you believe it? I got my laptop out of the bag and put my little finger's to work. We went for a drive to Idaho, got lottery tickets....Deja got a little to excited to scratch them. Good thing they didn't catch her, she may have gone to jail...or Rob and I. We thought that we would go on a different road then what we have gone on before. So we went just north of Malad to hwy 36 and took that going east it took us through Preston and Franklin and whatever other little towns there were along the hwy. It was a very pretty drive along this back country road with little houses and big yards and lots of trees. Screaming Kids...wow!!!

When we were going through Sardine Canyon is when we took most of these pictures the colors through there were so beautiful and bright. So we pulled over into that little town in the middle of the canyon and there was a trail going up into mountains...I wish that I could take better pictures, but they are what they are for now.

GO HURRICANES!! Woo Hoo

2008-09-29T21:10:00.005-06:00

HALF-TIME

"The Hurricane's"

This is the game of Emilie's soccer team. Emilie is still #27, Summer #3, Samara #5, Aubrey #6, Lauren #28, Abbie #7, Sara #13, Rachel #14, Katie #26, and Jessa #4. They played two games this pasted Saturday in the warm September heat. The first game was a very good game to watch, it's was U9 vs. U9. Good game with a little more phyiscal play then what was excepted. I think only one or two people know what I mean by that. That game was tied 0 - 0...at least they both teams played hard!! The second game they played a younger age group of boys. The smoked em' Poor boy's. Way to go Hurricane's!!

Fall is here and the colors are beautiful!!!

2008-09-29T12:32:00.003-06:00

Fall is here and in full swing! Rob and I took the girls for a drive and took some pictures of all the colors changing from bright greens to orange, yellow, red, brown....it was such a nice drive to just get out of the house and go on roads we had never traveled before. I will try to post pictures from our drive this week. But for now you can all enjoy the picture found on the internet.

Lagoon 9/13/08

Me and Emilie on the Ladybug Bop!

Lacy; she had to ride by herself on the Dino egg!

Deja & Lacy in line for "The Wicked"

Wild Mouse!!

Deja & Daddy in line for the Flying Aces!

Me & Deja in line for the Flying Aces!

Lacy & Deja on the Ladybug Bop!

So we haven't been to Lagoon in a few years! Yep...years! We went on the 13th of September for my work summer party. Emilie had a soccer game and had to come late and she was a little upset at me, but didn't miss much. One on One time for Deja!!! We had to stay until it closed since the little girls were able to ride most rides. But Deja couldn't ride on all of them. She was a mad little girl at her sisters when they went on rides that she couldn't and she was not going to let them get away with that without her letting them know how she felt. It was a fun day still!

Can we say POSER???

2008-09-19T11:08:00.003-06:00

So my little Deja loves the camera!!! She has lost her two front teeth and loves the empty space so she can stick her tongue through there. I know she is a very weird little person. Her and Emilie were playing with the camera and this is what we got. Emilie played photographer and Deja posed for the camera. I love my little girls, they are so much fun MOST of the time!

Stand tuned. There are other picture that show the process of the teeth being losted. I know I'm backwards!

Labor Day Camping at Strawberry

2008-09-19T10:39:00.003-06:00

Above: Deja and Katarina (Cousin). I think that Deja was painting her nails or something.
Above: Isabelle (Cousin, Katarina's sister)
Above: Deja the Diva!! Had to have her nails done and lipstick on to be out camping!
Above: Katarina and Isabelle at the camping Day Spa. Emilie and Deja were professionals for the day!
Above: Poor Boy having to watch all the girl stuff while dad went fishing without him.

We went camping up at Strawberry it was us and Jim (Rob's brother) and two of his girls. Emilie and Deja had so much fun hanging out with their cousin's. They just think that world of them. They were all good sports. Emilie and Deja would have to give back rubs and Katarina and Isabelle had to let Emilie and Deja play with their hair. I forgot to take the camera down fishing with us. Rob caught a little baby fish and when Buster saw that fishy is was so excited and just wanted to eat it. He so mad at his dad when he through it back in the water, if we would have let him go he would have tried to follow the fishy.

Deja and Soccer

2008-09-19T10:12:00.004-06:00

Though you can't see what number Deja is in these pictures...She is number 5. She looks so dang cute in her little soccer uniform.

Deja is on the U8 recreation soccer. She improves every year when she wants to. For those of you know know Deja, know what I mean when I say when see wants too. She is a smart little girl but doesn't always like to show mommy that she is smart.

So this post is ooooo....maybe a month late. We have been so busy with both Emilie and Deja with thier soccer stuff. I think that only days that I have time is on Friday and Sunday. I really enjoy it though. I love watching them practice and play their games. I enjoy watching them both do what they love to do.

"I am a true soccer mom!"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

2008-09-19T08:31:00.002-06:00

Corbin Bleu 8.8.08

2008-08-09T08:53:00.007-06:00

Emilie, Deja, Leah, and Sara with Drew Seeley after the concert.
Deja Poo, was the name of this goat. So I had to take a picture of Deja with the goat.

Corbin Blue, we went to this concert at the Weber County Fair. The girls had a lot of fun.

Emilie watching the concert, she was a very conservative little girl. To shy to clap or sing.
Drew Seeley, was the intro for Corbin.
Emilie, Leah, Deja, and Sara waiting for the concert to start.

Shaela and I took the girls to the Weber County Fair to see Corbin Bleu from High School Musical and Drew Seeley opened for him. The girls had a lot of fun, Deja and Leah went a little crazy, but it was fun to watch them.

Donwtown Buster Brown

2008-08-07T16:30:00.003-06:00

For those of you that don't know our little weiner dogs, we have Buster and Abbie. Buster will be 4 at the end of December and Abbie turned 3 in May. We love our little weiner doggies, they have brought such fun and love to our family. Now that we have them, I can see life without them. They get so much love and need so my love too. Buster has the cutest personality for a dog. He loves to play with his toys especially the tennis balls. Abbie loves to take his toys away. She doesn't want to play them until she sees that Buster wants to plays with them. These picture are of Buster playing ball with Rob.

Real Salt Lake Game

2008-08-07T11:58:00.006-06:00

Emilie and her team had the opportunity to play during half time at a Real Salt Lake game. Emilie is #27.

Emilie, Deja and friends got to be apart of making the player tunnel for the Real soccer team. They all got these shirts and got to go out on the field before the game for the players to walk through this huge line of kids.

I really didn't know if I could watch the whole game, but it was pretty intense. Real won 2 to 1. It was a fun Saturday night out with the girls.

Emilie

Shaela...the picture that she thinks she looks hot in. WOW!!!

Better last then never right? The Veale's and the Knighton's went to Flaming Gorge over the week of the 4th of July. I really didn't think that I would be able to make it camping for a whole week. It was such a fun camp trip, we didn't even turn any TV's on until the day before we left and that was just so the girls could watch a movie. We had a very fun time playing in the boat, down by the water, and just hanging out playing cards at camp. The last day we were there we rented a raft to go river rafting down the Green River, Shaela and had had to talk Rob and Dan into going with us. They were being buttheads about going rafting. They went and had fun and didn't think it was long enough. So needless to say, they had more fun then they thought they would and wanted to go longer. Men, they are so difficult at times. The lake was so beautiful. I could honestly say that even though I'm not much of a camper until this year....I could camp for a whole week again. It was so much fun, everyone should go to Flaming Gorge at least once in their life.

Tim Mcgraw Concert June 27, 2008

2008-06-28T08:54:00.002-06:00

Girls night out!!! Me, Lacy, Amy, and Leslie went to the Tim McGraw concert at Usana. It was a fun night out with the girls. My girl friend Lesa met up with us there and her daughter Krystal and her friend too. First to show was "Highway to Hazard" and then came Jason Aldean, and last but the very best "Tim McGraw" (he is so dang sexy). We had a great time. I will go and see Tim anytime I have the chance.

Girls day out at the Gateway!!

2008-06-20T13:19:00.002-06:00

Shaela and I took all three girls out to the Gateway and we watch Kung Fu Panda, then we went to the water fountain to let the girls play in the water. Deja, Emilie, and Leah had alot of fun playing in the water. When the music came on they were suppose to be in the water the whole time, but they were all three little chickens. I think that all the water going up as fast as it did scared them a little. So they sat on the side of the water til the music was over. But all still was a fun day out with girls.

Pineview Camping June 2008

June 6, 2008

We went camping up at Pineview for the weekend with Dan and Shaela. In total it was Rob, me, Emilie, Deja, James, Todd, Rita, and Kalem. Dan, Shaela, Mitch, Devon, and Leah...they have their own big ass 5th wheel to sleep in. They were good spots that we have they were right above the water. The boys all fished and drank, the girls drank and played cards. We had a good weekend up camping. Todd, James, and Rita camp up on Saturday night. James drank to much beer and got sick a few times, but we all had fun.

Deja and the cake!

2008-06-19T20:50:00.002-06:00

So we had some costco chocolate cake left from Deja's birthday. Of Course we had to eat some. Deja fell asleep on the coach and when I went to take her to bed I noticed that she had cake all over her face, so I had to take a picture of her...even with cake all over her face and sleeping, she is still so freakin cute.

2008-06-10T21:50:00.002-06:00

Deja on the day of her slumber party 5/31/08.

Deja & Chloe. Their such cute little girls.

Deja & Leah!!

Deja and Chloe inside in the tent that Deja got for her birthday.

We had a slumber party for Deja on the 31 of May. This was a very belated birthday party, she turned 7 on the 15th of May. We never had time to have a party for her. So we did a small slumber party. The guests included Chole, Degan, Camron, Leah, Camille, and of course Emilie. Deja got this little tent from Cameron and it was big enough for 2-3 little girls to sleep in, so they did. We had movies, but they didn't really want to watch them. They were painting each others faces with the Hannah Montant make up that Deja got from Chloe. Happy 7th Deja, we love you!!

Rob and I are so proud of everything that she has accomplised throughout high school. Her final report card came to our house the other day and her overall GPA is 3.528, that is a (book) smart girl. I hope that she accomplishes a ton more by following through to college. She wants to become an Orthodontist. Lacy we love you and we are very proud of you high school accomplishments.

This was the best of the pictures that I took on the bridge. It still turned out cute.
This is at the bottom of the falls. There is a little pond like area at the bottom.

Deja by the Provo River!!

We found the nice logs and I thought it looked like a good spot.

Emilie standing by the Provo River.

Rob, Emilie, Deja, and I went out for a drive Sunday afternoon. We drove down to Provo Canyon and up through Heber. We stopped at Bridal Veil Falls. We have driven by here so many times and have never stopped. So I decided to stop and take some pictures of my girls. I wanted to try and play around with my camera. I have had it for a little over a year now and still need to learn all the fun things that it can do. The view here was great, the water falls were beautiful. Emilie and Deja had a fun time running all over and having their picture taken. Buster and Abbie they were not quite as photogenic as the girls. I couldn't get them to behave on their leashes let alone a picture.

After here we drove up to Strawberry and looked around at camp spots. Rob like to fish so we will most likely camp there sometime this summer. We found some nice spots to set up the trailer.

We went 4-Wheeling up in the mountains above our house in Bountiful. Ron got lost from us and we couldn't find him for a long while. Then Lacy and Weston went to go find him and in stead he found us. So then we had to go get Weston and Lacy so that we could get all back together. It was an adventure.

We all went to Disneyland for 10 days in August of 2007, this was such a fun vacation for all my girls. They especailly loved having Weston there with them, he was a great big cousin. However, I think that at times it was a little more then what Sally had expected. We all still had a ton of fun between the beach and Disneyland. I can't wait until we can do this again.
