Aisle Surfing











When I was a flight attendant we would do the stupidest but funniest things. We would hide in the overhead bins and have the passenger ring for service and ask the NEW flight attendant to get a coat or something from that overhead bin and as the NEW gal would open the bin we would jump out and scare her. The passengers would get a kick out of it and it was a blast. One time we made fake throw up and had a passenger hold it till we got up in the air and had the drink carts out. We had a NEW, very ANNOYING, flight attendant from Boston trapped between the 2 carts, thats when the passenger handed her the fake throw up and we had her running back and forth for a good 5 minutes trying to get rid of it, it was soooo.... funny, even though she didn't think so. When nobody was on the flight, we would get to sit in the cockpit for the flight and that was the coolest thing ever!!! Just to watch everything they go through, its crazy. And if you ever have a chance, do it! Just never talk to the pilots the first and last 10 minutes, its the most crucial time. Anyways, other times when no one was on the plane but the flight attendants and pilots, we flight attendants would aisle surf! Thats right AISLE SURF. You stand on a card at the front of the plane and as it takes off and starts going in the air you let go of the seat and surf down the aisle. Well one time we had my little digital camera and 3 of us decided to do it at the same time, crazy, I know! Well I was first than my friend Chelsea and than Ashley. Lets just say none of us didn't make it down, but me, and I made it all the way down to the floor. I'll post the video and some pictures. Enjoy but don't laugh to hard

Father & Daughter




I thought this was some very cute pictures of Loren and her dad, I couldn't help but share them with everybody else!! It melts my heart when Logan walks through the door and Loren goes running to him saying DAD!! She loves her dad and he loves her more than words can say! I don't get many pictures of them together so I cherish the ones I do!

Spagetti Time
















When Logan served his mission in Wisconsin, he had a family that was feeding him and his companion dinner one night. When they showed up all that was on the table was plastic wrap. plastic forks & cups and napkins. They took their seats and here came the lady with a pot of spagetti and she threw it in the table and dumped the sauce on top of that. She said "dig in and take what you want and put it in front of you". That was one of Logans most memorable dinners ever. So now when we feed the missionaries that is what we do and they LOVE it and get such a kick out of it. Last night we had them over along with our friends, Ben, Lisa, & Dette. The Elders had fun sitting in Lorens pink chair and eating spagetti and deep fried ice cream. Here are some pictures, the one Elder had fun taking pictures of himself.

Good-Bye 2008, Hello 2009

WOW! What a year it has been. We have had our ups and downs this year. Loren turned 1 in May and started running in June! We found out in late April, early May that we were Pregnant and we had a handsome baby boy Jaxon on Nov 29. We celebrated being in our house for 1 year and we have fixed and changed a lot of things. I was nominated to be the secretary of the girls softball board for Elko and Spring Creek!! Stupid I know. On the downside, I lost somebody very special in my life, my aunt Joann. She passed away from cancer on Nov 14. She was more like a mom than an aunt and I still find my days hard. I want to call her everytime Loren does something new and than I stop and remember I can't. I've had to help her son Troy evict some people from her house out here that she was renting and it was hard because there was kids involved and it was almost Christmas time. Thank goodness they got to stay till after Christmas was over. We had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year and we are really looking forward to what 2009 has in store for us!

Christmas











We had a really good Christmas this year, as I hope everybody else did as well! This year we stayed at my in-laws (Deron and Penny) on Christmas Eve, along with Brynn, Leaf, Carson and Jilyn. We thought it would be a fun little tradition to begin and we would do it every other year. We had a yummy dinner and stayed up till 1 am playing the Wii. Loren and Jaxon got spoiled between Santa, mom & dad and grandparents. After we were done opening presents we were going to head to Tooele so we could spend Christmas night with my family, but a HUGE storm rolled in and we decided to wait till the next day unless it passed and we felt like we could make it. Well about 2 pm we decided to go for it. Well we made it, it only took us an extra hour, so not to bad. We only seen plows till we got just outside of Wells and we never seen another. While we were over in Utah Logans cousin got married in the Manti temple and had a reception in Spanish Fork. We weren't able to make it to the temple but the reception was very nice and Drew has married a very cute girl named Becky, I wish them so much happiness in their marriage! Here are a few pictures of Christmas

SOOOO... Tired!




At the Barrick Christmas Party this year, Logans dad Deron won a XBOX 360. Well that was great and all but we talked him into exchanging it in for a Wii. So Wednesday night Logan and I went over with the kids and played Wii for awhile. Loren hadn't had a nap all day so we headed home around 9:30. She fell asleep in the car and usually she will wake up as soon as you try to get her out. She was like a rag doll last night, she was sooo... tired! I had to get a picture of Logan trying to get her into her PJs.

Bath Time!




I'm a little behind on my posts, sorry! I'm still trying to adjust to having 2 kids. Jaxon finally lost his umbilical cord on Tuesday so he finally got a GOOD bath! I was so excited. We pulled a chair up so Loren could watch and be a part of it. He didn't scream as bad as I thought he might and Loren would not take her eyes off of him. Here are a few pictures of his first bath.

Christmas Time!!






















I can't believe Christmas is almost here and that Jaxon is almost 2 weeks old already. We just went today and got family pictures taken. There are some very precious ones of Loren and Jaxon. Loren really does love her baby brother. She is constantly trying to give him kisses, hugs and any time he cries she lays her head next to his and rubs it. She hasn't shown to much jealousy but there has been a little coming out. Matter of fact, the other day, Jaxon started crying so I picked him up and told him it was okay and started patting his back, well Loren looked at him and than me and she started to pretend cry and laid her head on my shoulder. I told her it was okay and she reached around and started patting her own back. It was very cute!!! Here are some of the pictures taken today, I hope you all enjoy!

How Fast They Change...











Jaxon is 1 week old as of today and I can't believe how he has changed in just this week. I like to call him "little squirt" because he is very good at squirting as all you moms with little boys know what I mean. He sleeps well during the day on his own but at night he thinks he needs to be in moms arms. We are working on getting that changed. He is a very good eater and seems to be doing well with his weight. The poor little guy has the cold that we all have had and I feel bad because there isn't much we can do cause he is sooo tiny.




Loren is coming home today and I can't wait! I miss that little stink so much. Our house just hasn't felt quite the same without her here. I am curious on how she is going to do or act with her little brother here. I'm glad Logan is on his 7 days off so that he can help between the two of them. I want to do all I can to show her I still love her just as much as I did before Jaxon and she is not going to be left out.




Well here are a few pictures of Jaxon since we have been home, and many more to come!!!
