Jack Johnson/Owens 1st Day At School
This last week we went to Jack Johnson Concert. It was a blast, thanks to Kooper and Randi and my mom for watching the kids!!
The people behind us were older and I don't think they have ever been to a concert, they asked us to sit down not in a very nice way either. Sit down are you kidding me we are at a concert who sits down?? Well, we did for a couple of songs and then stood up for the rest everyone else was standing, the guy was pretty lame- He and his wife ended up leaving after about 5 songs I don't think they liked it.
Here's Jack, he was great!!! Not to bad to look at either! I really couldn't get that great of picture but I tried.
Owen's first day of preschool!! He was so excited and Colby was sad cause he doesn't start school till Monday!! Owen did awesome, He told me when he got home that he was such a good boy and didn't even get into a fight with anyone.
He really wanted to make a funny face for the picture to show how funny he thinks he is!!
Colby and Owen they look like they are a couple of years older than they really are. My boys are such great boys and always try there best. They have there moments like most boys, but they are full of life and want to live it to the fullest. It's a great example to remember to just relax and enjoy everything around us while it lasts!!!

Mack's Inn Resort 2008
One of our favorite pass times to do as a family is to go to my dad's place Mack's Inn. It's the best and it's all made possible by my parents. For my mom for letting us sleep in her bedroom and useing her bathroom, she really does not let anyone in there but us, watching Ellie when we want to spend time with the boys and using her and my dad's cabin. Also for my dad for following his dream of making Mack's Inn a special place for families. For letting us play the whole time instead of helping you work(which we do feel guilty about). We love it, being there with you and miss you when you are not home! Also for letting us take his 4-wheelers out every day without question. All the hard work you have put into that resort to make it what it is today!! We hope all your dreams you have for Mack's come true!!
This is down at the Resort it's right on Snake river.

Did you forget something Owen?

Did you forget something Owen? Mack's Inn 2008
The one thing that we really love to do and Owen can never stop talking about it, is riding on the 4 wheelers. There is so many trails that you probably could ride every day in the summer and still not go on every trail. My parents watched Ellie so we could go on a really long ride, Thank you for watching her we had a blast. Owen and I rode on one and were trying to find bears but didn't see any- I swear everyone always sees bears up there but never us. We saw a moose on the river with Curtis and Carrie, seriously we really did see a moose and I really thought Carrie was going to miss it! But that's a whole other story if you want it look at there blog, let's just say Kenny sometimes thinks I don't need to dye my hair to be a Blondie!!!
Colby, Owen and Me after the ride covered in Dirt!
Owen's crazy hair from his helmet, he really was mad that we took a picture of it. To wrap up the weekend we have a family reunion for the 24Th. We go to the parade in St. Anthony and they throw so much candy!! It's also a time were Colby and Owen can spend time with there cousins that are the same age and they love it!! It's a sad day when we have to say good bye to them.
Me, Mike and Ashlee, Season and her little girl Brooklyn
Pa and Baby Elizabeth
"The Boyz"- Riggin, Wylie, and Colby.(Owen is off and sitting in his chair waiting for the candy to come to him)

We all know he has many adventures on all his trips to Idaho-Fishing tickets-Police rides-I am sure there is many more I don't know about yet!! So on Saturday night during my family reunion Kenny had a bunch of illegal fireworks that he purchased in MT. Of course we also all know how he likes to blow stuff up, he decided to let some off at the Dinner Theater parking lot across from the cabin. Everyone told him it probably wasn't a good idea but that doesn't stop him!! He lit one off and I have to admit it was really pretty just like the ones they do at firework shows. No police came so he got brave and lit a few more off, then a car drove up so Kenny walked away they stoped and opened there door to see the fireworks on the ground then drove off. Kenny went back and didn't think anything of it, he lit some more. Then a couple minutes latter a Nation Forrest police guy drove up in his truck. I was so freaked out and thought not again!! I couldn't take it so I went into the cabin, everyone else stayed to watch him get arrested-- after a minute I went back outside and the truck and Kenny were gone. My heart dropped, my cousin Season said Tara they just took him away!! Now my heart really dropped and I about fell to the ground thinking why does he do this!?!? Then everyone started to laugh and I saw Kenny coming from behind the building he just went to throw the fireworks away. The guy just told Kenny that he had some complaints and to stop before the sheriff got called!! Complaints? It was 9:00 and it was a great show, an illegal show but great!! Kenny got away this time but Idaho is always waiting for him to come back to see what they can do to him next! I think Kenny also likes to see what he can get away with.
Mack's Inn Dinner Theater
At Macks there is a Dinner Theater and the boys love it!! You go and eat prime rib and then watch a play. This year the boys are attached to the theater kids, and they are so nice to Colby and Owen. After the plays they come over and play with the kids. If you ever go to Macks I recommend going to the Dinner Theater.
Owen as a show girl
Owen as a drunken tub guy!?!
Colby as the hero
This table is for just for show, but the boys made it there own box seats! We had a great time at Mack's Inn. It's the best place to go and spend time with the family. Thanks to my parents for letting us stay at the cabin, the boy's really miss pa when he is away up in Idaho.

Flathead Lake MT, For the 4th of July
This is 2 very long posts, because of all the pictures! I still can not figure out how to do a stupid slide show, I know it's very dumb. So instead you get to read two posts, some pictures are just so beautiful of Montana so it's worth it!! We went to Flathead Lake in Montana to stay with Kenny's grandparents. If you don't know where it is, all I know is that it's a very long 10 hour drive with 3 kids, but very much worth the long drive. Also it's by Kalispell if you know where that is. Kenny's grandpa is a builder and very,very good one. Right now, hopefully he is building there last house.(we will see about that) It's grandma's dream home and it's right on the lake, like there old one was. We had the most wonderful time. It is so pretty there, we are already wanting to turn around and go back.
This is a picture of there house they are building, its a Mediterranean style house. In the left hand corner is a huge deck right by the lake. Kenny's cousin Nate built it and yes Kenny did get to help with it. The only time Kenny builds anything is when we are in Montana.
Here are the kids playing, it's really cool cause the docks are built all around the shore so the kids have a shallow end to play in.
Owen and his Cousin Stella. We did get the boys to ride on the tube behind the boat. I took Colby and Kenny took Owen. I think Owen liked it a lot better. It took a lot of convincing to get those kids on that tube.
I had to put this picture in cause it is the only picture I had that almost showed Kenny's camp fire to the left of the picture. I really have to tell this story and for all of you that know Kenny will really enjoy it!! Colby wanted a camp fire so bad, so Kenny got a pit all built and it was really nice. He got all the wood and kinling to start it. Does anyone ever watch Survivor Man with Les Stroud(Totally Real) or Bear Grylls Man vs Wild (totally fake),well try to guess who Kenny is. Anyway he had all these matches to light the fire and could never get it started WITH matches, it was really funny. He was getting so mad, then he got a long stick with leaves on the end and took it up to the gas grill(that's right he went to go light it with the gas grill!!!) got the fire to start on the end of the stick but every time he got to the fire it went out.One time he got it lit and I told him to start blowing on it, he didn't at first and it started to go out so he started to blow, it was to little to late. After a couple of minutes of blowing it went out again! I was laughing so hard, first he couldn't get it started with matches, which Les would have started it with his bare hands and a twig, and then couldn't get down to the fire pit with actual fire he got from the gas grill, which Bear Grylls would of had the gas grill off camera so everyone would have thought he had started it with his bare hands and a twig!!! Needless to say he finally got it lit using the gas grill fire. The rest of the day we were making up are own monologues pretending to be Bear Grylls, which sad to say we clearly are, we are really going to work on are survivor skills. Next time will be different. It was a great day and I almost worked of all the weight I gained in that trip by laughing so hard!!
The boys throwing rocks into the lake they could have done that all day.

This is my favorite picture!! The kids were down stairs getting ready to go to the lake and Owen is yelling for me to come and fasten his life vest. When I got down stairs he only had his life vest on and no swimsuit, I asked if he forgot something and just looked at me like What did I forget?!?!

It was a great 4 of July one that the kids will always remember!! Thank you to Grandma Schaffer for all the wonderful food you made for us and the hard work that was put into it, I just like to say I gained about 5 pounds in one week from all the food. If you are trying to loose weight stay away from Grandma Schaffer and her excellent cooking!!! Thank you Grandpa Schaffer for playing with the boys and taking them on the boat and getting all the water toys ready, I know it was a lot of work and we really appreciated it!! We love you guys!

Beauty Treatment Tag
So I have been tagged by Brittney to tell all my secrets about beauty treatment. The secret is I need help in this area more than you know!! For the makeup I do wear I just need to give a thanks to Ashlee Stone(my so called cousin in a wierd sort of way). A little over a year ago we went to stay with them and she showed me all about makeup. I really loved it and can sort of do my eye makeup now. I am getting better at it!! So Thank you Ashlee in showing me how to do the makeup thing and I know Kenny thanks you too, he really loved the way I looked that night!!
MY FOUNDATION: Nothing at all never have worn it and probably never will.
MY BLUSH: My blush is from Mac which is about the same with all my makeup. It goes on very smooth and I love the light feeling even if you have a lot on.
MY DAY CREAM: I use Clinique, there face lotion. I Love it and it's not oily.
MY LIPSTICK: Tough one cause I hardly ever where it, I do like lip gloss but never buy it.
MY ESSENTIAL BEAUTY PRODUCT: No matter what I where mascara always have always will it brings my eyes out more, and I feel like I have droopy eyes so I need something to lift them up. Also blush since I don't wear any foundation.
MY FAVORITE PRODUCT: Anything from Mac makeup or Clinique.
MY PERFUME: Kenny bought me Clinique Happy when we were dating and I still always have a bottle, I really like the smell and it reminds me of the days when we were dating and I was skinny as a twig!! I also like any body spray from Victoria Secret.
MY NAILS: I love dark finger nail polish, I have no clue why but I like black, dark brown or very dark purple that almost looks black-strange I know.
MY FEET: My feet and I have a love hate relationship, when I treat them well and put lotion on them they look great, but most of the time they are cracked and terrible looking I need help!! Anyone that has a suggestion let me know I could use it! Love to have my toenails painted more than my Finger nails.
MY HANDS: I really like Lubriderm lotion my hands are never dry when I use it.
THREE PRODUCTS TO TAKE ON A DESERT ISLAND: Mascara, Sunscreen(since I would probable get skin cancer with all my moles on me)And lotion.
WOMEN I ADMIRE FOR THERE BEAUTY: Kate Hudson, Any Victoria Secret model
WOMEN WITH THE BEST SENSE OF STYLE: My mom she knows how to accessorize, Gweneth Paltroe (speling might be wrong) I think she always looks amazing!
MY ULTIMATE DREAM: To fit into my skinny jeans which I have a ton of just sitting in my closet, I am so sick of wearing the same jeans over and over!!!!! And to someday figure out how to do a smokey eye that color really pops out, my eyeshadow never goes on very good and the color looks dull maybe I am using the wrong brush?
I TAG: Nicole M., Michele N., Ashlee S., Ashley S., Melyna and Jeanine-These girls always have great pictures and perfect makeup whats the SECRET!!!

Early Morning Golfing
Today, Colby and I woke up at 5am and went up to Midway with some friends to go golfing. I told Colby I would take him last week, but not to tell Owen, because I wasn't going to take him. So every time he brought it up this week, whether Owen was around or not, he would whisper, "Daddy, are we going golfing today?" I kept telling him that I was going to be waking him up really early to go, and he needed to get some good sleep. I don't think he understood how early 5am was. He does now. 
The golf course that we went to has an incredible setting, especially when the sun is just coming up over the mountains. THis is the 4th time I have done this, and it is priceless, but cold. It was supposed to be 98 degrees today, so I didn't bring any warm clothes for him, or I. Big mistake, after the 1st hole, we were driving in the cart, and Colby looked at me and said, "I want to go home daddy". I told him that it would warm up, and I gave him a drink of my Diet Rockstar to get his blood flowing. 
He is wearing a Pink Shirt that I keep in my bag just in case I don't have a collared shirt when I go golfing.He had a great time and kept asking how many holes we had left, I thought it was because he wanted to go home, but on the last hole he asked me again, and I told him that it was the last hole, and he was pretty upset. He loved it. I let him drive the cart when I wasn't in it, Morty got quite a kick out of Colby driving like a 5 year old around the Fairway. What the heck, he drives his Power Wheels good, no different right? The Marshall didn't think so. A 5 year old, jacked up on Rockstar driving, a golf cart, it was funny!

It was a great time, and he is a pretty good golfer for a 5 year old, he probably won't be the next Tiger, but I figure we can play golf for the next 60 to 70 years, and always have something fun to do together. 
He was even playing with us from the Tips (the back tees)
Orem Summer Fest 2008
Anyone who has ever lived in Orem knows about the summer fest they have every year. It's one of the highlights of summer for the kids. They love to go to the park and go on the rides eat a ton of cotton candy and good food. Then on Saturday night they have a parade. This first picture is Owen waving for candy, they didn't throw as much as they used too. 
This picture is of the kids watching the parade, I think some parts got a little boring to them and it was very hot!!
Ellie with her big Kentucky Derby hat on. Her Uncle Kooper was holding her and making her laugh so hard, this is just one of many great pictures we got of our little girl.

Olympic Park and Thomas the Tank Engine
This past month my cousin got married and had his reception at the Olympic Park in Park City. It was really cool to see the bob sled track and the ski jumps. We also got a family picture taken in front of the pool where they practice jumping off those huge jumps. Of course we forgot to take Ellie's bib off, she drools like crazy. She got her two bottom teeth in so I thought the drooling would stop but it didn't. I will need to post a picture of her little teeth.
Also this past month my mom took the boys to see Thomas the Tank Engine. It rained on them but they loved it so much. Thanks to grandma for taking them!!
