Happy New Year! Hee hee hee

2010-02-25T20:36:00.000-08:00

Well let me just start out with saying: Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Wow, am I really that lame? I told myself I would post more frequently, but what can I say? I get too tired by the end of the day to read others blogs, let alone post on my own. Well we had a great Christmas, love having little children around to remind you to sit back and relax a little. This year we had the best of both worlds, we got to spend it here in Utah and over New Year's weekend we got to go with my family at a cabin in Idaho. Lots and lots of fun. Now on to the fun and exciting stuff... my little brother got married and I am soooo excited! The wedding day was great, the colors looked awesome and the reception was a so much fun. They are the cutest couple. I will post the pics I have, I didn't get great ones so maybe I can some how get others? Other than that I am looking forward to spring and warmer weather. I can't complain because we have had a very mild winter but who doesn't just love warm weather?! I love to look ALIVE, and not feel so pasty white and gross- I think I get the winter blues every year, anybody have any good ideas on how to keep those spirits up?
Just a little update on my boys, Bry has been able to go with dad skiing a few times and thinks he is a pro now, he loves it. Ky wants to go skiing real bad but gets to hang out with mom and loves every minute. He is starting to be more of a mama's boy, he wants me to do everything for him, and if dad does it, watch out he will sit and scream and throw a little fit. Kade is crawling and loving life. He literally gets into everything, and I can't get mad at him cause he is just so cute and innocent- I just pick him up and place him somewhere new, and he just crawls right back so I find myself chasing him all day long. Oh I just love that boy, he knows how to put a smile on my face. Sweet little boy. Nothing else is new here in our home, just trying to enjoy life and get out of the house as much as possible!
Until next time...

One more thing- I am super depressed because Bry has magically deleted over 500 pictures off my camera (I still haven't figured out how to delete more than one pic at a time). Uploading these pictures and seeing I hardly have any of Kade makes me want to cry. Uuuugh the challenges!!!

A little of this and a little of that...

Why is it I feel my life really isn't that interesting but yet I feel like I am so busy all the time and I feel like I have a lot going on? I try to think back of fun things I have done so that I can post on my ole blog here and nothing comes to mind. Anybody else run into this problem? I did have the opportunity to go down to St. George with some of my girlfriends for the weekend and had so much fun. I took my camera and unfortunately forgot to take pictures... the story of my life. The weekend before that my honey and I were able to go to Park City for two nights for our 10 year anniversary. Can I hear a whoot whoot! I can't believe that I have been married for TEN years!!! Why is it I feel like I am only 23 then? I think that time stops for me and I haven't aged at all. Then I look back and my life and think man I am so old! And BORING! What ever happend to the fun exciting me? I guess the life of a mom is definately interesting from day to day, it may seem fun and exciting for other moms but very mundane and boring for the younger crowd and those without kids. My dad is always telling me that I have the life of Ryley- so I guess I should embrace this life and run with it right!?
We had pie making class at my house a few weeks ago and I was able to 'flute' a pie. I have to tell you how excited I am about this. I am such a retard when it comes to fluting. I can't tell you how many times my mom has literally held my fingers and helped me with this, and then when I tried it myself- well I just couldn't perform. So I had this class and I am so proud of my pie fluting abilities! I froze the pie crusts and brought them out for an early thanksgiving dinner with my family and my mom did not believe that I really made those, I think she thought I bought them at the store or something cause she kept looking at me and Cort back and forth thinking we were gonna start laughing or something. I will post a picture later on and you can see for yourself just how amazing I am.
Like I just mentioned my mom and dad came down for an early thanksgiving dinner at my house and it was nice to spend some time with them and enjoy quite the feast. We labored all day in the kitchen baking our little hearts out and then of course devoured that feast in about 15 minutes. So sad to see all your hard work gone so fast.
I do have to say that I am soooo excited- my little brother (1 of 4) is engaged and getting married!! I am so thrilled over this because I have been the only married sibling well, for 10 years now and couldn't be happier with his fiance. Just love her! I have been able to go look for wedding dresses and reception halls and do a lot of wedding talk-which I just love. It does make we think that I would do so many things different if I could do it all again. My how times have changed- I like the new styles and fun things they do for weddings now. It will be fun to see everything come together on their special day.
Oh yea, we had to replace our sewer line! So Merry Christmas to me and my hubby. We had a big excavator tear up our lawn and dig a big ole hole and replaced the pipe. All I have to say is I am glad snow is coming to cover up my lawn, let's hope by spring that it will look all better. I feel like our lawn has had a major surgery or something.
I will sign off for now- I hope everybody has a fantastic Thanksgiving this upcoming week. Let the holidays begin!!!
Each of us has something to be thankful for- take some time to tell somebody what you are thankful for and be happy!
*So my pictures are not uploading, I keep running into errors, so maybe another day I will upload some pix, sorry this one will be boring- maybe another day

You might want to take a seat...

I know I know I know.... it has been almost 7 months since I have posted, so sad I know. I really have no excuses except I was always just so tired and didn't feel like getting on the computer! Everytime I got on and read blogs it was so addicting and then I would kick myself for staying up so late. So here I am to redeem myself, I feel like I have to go and recap the past 7 months of life... that could take a while and will most likely bore all of you to death so I will do a fast little recap-I had a beautful baby boy Kaden Marshall Glenn on June 1, 2009. The delivery was a little scary but all is good and we all adore him to pieces. The other boys are so good to him, I was a little nervous about Kyler wanting to hurt him or step on him (he would often make weird statements about other babies like, 'can I hit him mom?' or 'can I step on him'?) but he is great with him and wants to give him kisses all day. I have to step back and look at my life and wonder how I got to be a mom of 3, married for almost 10 years and just happy and content with my life, it is so bazaar to me- as my honey and I were saying the other day, that we are 'those people' and I am 'that mom' with the mini van hauling the kids around to playgroups and school now and to the park. But you know, I wouldn't want it any other way. I love my sweet innocent life, as crazy and very redundent (sp?) as it may be, I am so happy right where I am at.
We have had a busy summer with the babe and trying to enjoy what warm/hot days we had. I don't feel like I had much of a summer, I feel a little jipped actually with June being so chilly and now here we are in September, school has already started and winter is coming before we know it and it makes me want to through a tantrum. My sweet Bryson started Kindergarten this week and as much as I was excited to get him out of the house I have to admit mom had a bit of a rough day when I dropped him off. You wonder if you have taught him all he needs to know to make it out in the 'real world' and if he will make friends ok and learn and love to learn and love school.... ah! I could just go on and on about it all, I left with a lump in my throat and sick to my stomache! But he loves school, he is still in his first week and is already a little bored though, so hopefully things will pick up and he will start to get a little more challenged.
Cort and I and the babe went back to MN for my highschool reunion, the reunion was a bit of a bust but it was good to be home and to see my brother who is back running the ranch. That place is pretty magical for me, I can't get over the green rolling hills and small town feel everywhere you go. I am so thankful we moved back there and I went to High School there. I loved my highschool experience, I had the time of my life! I was telling my other brother that it truly shaped me into who I am today- and I am grateful for that!
We went boating a few times this summer, but not as much as I wanted, having a newborn and not enough hot days- I guess we have next summer to look forward to- I just love that boat and the experience we have had on it, my kids will have such fond memeries and I am sure looking back they will always remember all the great times we had with their cousins.
I could obviously go on and on about the past 7 months but I better stop while I am ahead or I might not want to post again for another 7.

Here are a few (well actually quite a bit) pics of the babe and summer, enjoy!

Love to Love

2009-02-18T21:27:00.000-08:00

Can I just say how much I love to love? Doesn't it feel so good to love and be loved? I love to give to people and make them feel good about themselves. Isn't that what we are all here for? I love to make people happy, especially my little family. When I get REALLY annoyed with my kids (about every other day) I just have to look at their sweet little faces and see their little dimples they inherited from Corty and just smile! Isn't it amazing that we can create lives? Well, with the help of God. It makes my heart smile to know that I am in a good spot in my life, even though life isn't always peachy and perfect, Mel, but I am happy with my life and my family. IT doesn't always have to be oh I am doing awesome with my job and I am making so much money and I am perfect and skinny and blah blah blah. It's about being happy and satisfied with yourself. You have to be happy with yourself to be happy and able to love others! I feel so blessed because I am happy with myself even though I am not perfect. That's what I love the most! My little flaws and everybody else's.

Can I also just say how much I love my family? I am going to talk about my parents here for a minute, not anything big and huge and wonderful to say, I just want them to know how much I love and appreciate them. I am here for them any time they need me and I know they are there for me anytime I need them. That's the beauty of family, whether you like it or not, it's a package deal- you are stuck with me no matter what! hee hee hee. No really, I am truly blessed to have such a loving mom dad, and brothers, who are all so adorable and handsome and hoping to help them fall in love some day.

Enough blubbering on, I feel like I have not made much sense with this post, but that's ok right?

Deal with it...

love ya ALL!!!!

Sound

2009-02-02T20:44:00.001-08:00

Ky fell asleep while doing his breathing treatment (asthma)

All tuckered out...

I just love this kid! Take a look at his hand....

My kids have a thing with stuffed animals, check out the drool pile!

Isn't it amazing what sound can do to ones soul? Music can get you going, depending on what kind it is- pump you up or make you cry, laughter can only make one laugh and hearing children around USUALLY puts a smile on people's face. I just have to say how much I love SOUND! I love to hear my children's cute, sweet little voices that melt my soul, but at the same time I wish they didn't have a voice box so I didn't have to listen to them whine or cry or be silly saying goo goo and gaa gaa (seriously, what's up with 5 year olds trying to be 1 again?) So as much as I love hearing things, I also love to hear absolutely NOTHING!!!! My most favorite time of the night is when my children are sleeping. I have started a little thing every night (I used to a long time ago but gave up cause I just plain forgot) where I sneak in and look at the little sweeties while they sleep. Sometimes they are literally hanging half way off the bed, sometimes Ky guy's bumb is up in the air, kicked covers off or just the way we put them. I just love it. Especially when it's been a day when I can't wait to get them to bed cause they've driven me crazy, it makes me realize how sweet and innocent they really are and they just want to have fun in life and they don't care about the silly things adults do. I try to remind myself that every once in a while, to chill out, hang with the kiddos and relax! The house doesn't have to be spotless and the dishes don't have to be done. Just enjoy those sweet hearts cause they don't stay small/young forever and their sweet voices change so quickly, just enjoy THEIR SOUNDS!!!

If you don't, I urge every parent to look at their children nightly and you're worries will melt away (well maybe for a moment) and you'll be much happier with them the next morning!

Update

2009-02-02T20:31:00.000-08:00

So I just have to update everyone on my sickie world - some areas have gotten better, some have not. Bryson now has a cold, not just any cold, coughing all the time, sounds like it's deep in his chest, says his throat hurts and as much as Bry whines and crys about other things, he doesn't really whine or cry about him hurting or not feeling good, so for him to say his throat hurts it must be painful. On Friday he also had diarrhea, got over that Sat. night and now Ky guy has it and I am hoping he had his last spell of that this afternoon. I am just hoping it's not rota cause that stuff is nasty, I don't think it is, I just want to vomit myself everytime I smell it... sorry to paint a pretty picture, but you moms out there know what I'm talking about right?! Does it ever get better?! (sigh....)

Sweet Innocence #2

Family pic at Temple Square

My three boys

You know as much as I love being a mom, I often reflect on the days when I was just married and worked a normal 8-5 job, enjoyed life, did whatever I wanted whenever I wanted... my how things change! No wonder moms go ape wild if they never get a break. Oh thank heavens for a loving husband who allows me to take breaks and get away! So anyway I just have to say what an exciting last couple days I've had, not like it's been just aweful, just eventful and I can't wait til spring comes to lighten my soul and shed some rays on me! So last week Bry woke up with one swollen eye, covered with eye boogers come to find out he had pink eye, Dr. said he would be ok to go to school the next day once we started him on his eye drops. So his eye looks great the next day, and then on Monday he woke saying his other eye was hurting ( i had been putting drops in that eye too just in case) on Tues he was still saying the same thing but didn't think much of it. Wed. he woke up with pink eye in the other eye and Ky now has pink eye in both eyes. I'm used to dealing with cows and pink eye, not children! so apparently it is very contagious and like stays on a surface for 2 days, so exciting. I think it's a miracle Cort and I have not gotten it yet. Tuesday night was one of those nights were all I wanted was to have Cort home so I could have some help, have some relief- I had lost my patience with both children, mainly Kyler cause he is so defiant and such a stinker sometimes. So he came home about 5:35 and was out the door by 5:43- he had to go on assignment to clean the Salt Lake Temple, which was very cool for him. He got home about 10:30- needless to say that night the kids were literally in bed and asleep at 7:20! I was kinda laughing but loving every second of it, they must have been tired if they went to bed that early. So Wednesday night I am upstairs trying a new chicken noodle soup recipe and Bryson just starts screaming out of pain and agony, sometimes he is fairly dramatic and sometimes reminds me of having a girl. Anyway, he comes upstairs and his nose is bleeding and it's dripping out of his mouth, so apparently Ky hit him with his head (he's been doing this lately and I don't know how it doesn't hurt him, he will end up brain dead someday) so Cort gets home from work and checks his tooth and it is loose so we were thinking he might have to have it pulled, thank heavens the dentist said he should be fine and let nature take his course... We took the kids into the doctor today and we are starting round 2 with the eyedrops for Ky and life seems to be good again. It's amazing how some days I have no patience for the kids and I loose my temper so easily and then other days how I am blessed with patience, thank heavens today was one of those days that I had patience, cause I have been tested by my kids. All I can say is I am happy tomorrow is Friday and the weekend is here! Phew!

Now I have to post something that Kyler said today that made me laugh. Kids say the cutest things sometimes, their little minds are so naive and sweet. He had just gotten done trying to go potty and I laid him on the floor to put his diaper back on, he kicked my stomach and I told him he has to be nice cause that hurts mommy, it can hurt the baby etc. So he said he wanted to see the baby, I told him he can't 'see' the baby right now, we have to wait til he gets healthy and big enough before he can come out. So he sits up and continues to say he wanted to see the baby and lifts up all my layers of clothing to see my tummy. Then he started pushing on my stomach saying he wanted him to come out cause he wanted to see him. So I continued to tell him he couldn't and repeated myself 3x over, so I was back sitting at the computer and all of a sudden he walks up with scissors in his hands, they are the cutco ones so they had come apart and he shows them to me and I asked what the world he was doing- he said he broke the scissors but he wanted to cut the baby out of my tummy so he could see him.... oh my goodness I about lost it! Where do they come up with these ideas? How cute is that?!

CALiFORNiA BABY!!!

2008-10-22T20:25:00.000-07:00

P.S. I think we all know that we took this trip in Oct. '08 so don't let the post date scare you, it really is Jan. '09-no need to fret or feel like you need to be checked in to any institution... I am just happy to have this done, it's been sitting in my edit posts for quite some time now... now if I could just finish out the year and wrap that all up, in due time my friends, in due time...

Well the long awaited California post is now at your fingertips! As you can see I put off posting so long because I feel like there is so much to do and post and it ends up taking a few hours. So I have been pushing this off knowing that it will take me a while, but owell. So here is our trip~

We left on Wed. Oct. 1st, Cort got off a little early and we started the long trek around 4:00 pm, we had made plans to stop in Prim NV at good 'ole Whiskey Pete's for a whopping $22. Cort claims we made money on them cause he found a $1 when we got out of the car in the parking lot. It took a while for my night owl Ky to fall asleep, actually what's that? He didn't sleep?! Crazy- well he slept until a little bit before Cedar City to have dinner and then from that point out he was up till after midnight. Bry was knocked out and Ky's eyes were glazed over watching Dora. For only $22 i thought it was a great little casino/place to sleep. We got up the next morning and had a wonderful meal at McDonald's and headed on the road to CA. Here's a picture of me in front of Whiskey Pete's (should have taken it at night with all the wonderful lights, pretty fantastic)

Not the most flattering pic ever taken

Naughty Mommy, but he climbed up and was playing with it!
I had to get a photo!

This is a really cool looking roller coaster, did not partake of though

The pic isn't that great, but trust me it was huge, it went around the whole casino

The drive from Prim to Ocean side was so blasted long and ugly. I had no idea that Cali could be so desert like and ugly. We arived around 1:00 and headed right for the beach. The condo we stayed in was litterally right on the beach. We was so beautiful there, the weather was perfect. The forcast looked like rain and a little cooler a couple of the days and it didn't happen. We went to the beach everyday but Sat. and Mon. Here are some cute shots of us at the beach:

Bry searching for sea shells

The two boys searching together

My cutie

Bry just loves to pose

I just love catching those candid pictures

Don't you just want to squeeze him?!

Cort dug a hole, Ky was happy...

Still happy

Starting to feel constrained

In this pic, Ky had thrown himself back and was screaming to get out

I want out dangit!!

Bry literally running away from the waves, he had so much fun chasing them, I wish I would have taken a video, it was so cute to watch.

Bry was a bit happier to be buried in the sand

We went to Sea World on Saturday and enjoyed it thoroughly. It definately takes a lot longer to get around with the kiddos than it does with just us. Cort and I had gone 2 times before we had kids and loved it and we thought the kids would love it too- here are a few pics of Sea World

Here are few of my favorite family photos of our trip, we had a few at Disneyland and a few more at the beach before we headed home.

If I don't end the post now, you may have to wait another 5 months to get the end of the story, so here it is folks, a great trip, we absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back some day!

This one wraps it all up, all tuckered out at the end of the day- filled with many memories...

Catch Up Time!!!

2008-09-21T13:48:00.000-07:00

So it's been about 4 weeks since I last posted... maybe longer? I've been trying to stay away from my computer because when I get on I find myself sucked in to this big black hole and then I find my days wasted away. What's happend since my last post?

While Bryson was at preschool the other day I took Kyler to Sugar House park and met Catherine there, the kids played for a whole 2 hours and were ready for more! I have one cute picture of Kyler enjoying his fruit snacks.

Our family loves to go up Big Cottonwood canyon to Silver Lake. We went up there this past Sunday and the Tupous came along with us. We say a momma moose that was right down by the lake eating and people were walking up to her and were not afraid. Brave people. We got a couple of pretty shots up us here they are.

Cort and the boys, aren't they cute?

Cort and Jorge

What a cute family picture, why can't Bry's eyes be open!?

I'm kinda tempted to crop Bry out. Is that mean?

Me and Mel

We went to a stake bbq with Kim Wride while Cort and Jamie worked in their home tearing down walls and putting new ones up and dealing with termites. It was a fun little party they had there and they handing out creamies at the end and Kyler was not letting go of that thing no matter what. He was going down the slide and running around and it was just getting too cold for him! This is a cute pic of him freezing and not wanting to give it up.

We go to the State Fair, hip hip! I have to tell what a deal we got (I love those deals!) So we went on a Monday night and they had all kids 12 and under free and adults pay the kids price, so of course I have my handy entertainment book that has a buy 1 get 1 free coupon in it so we got a family of 4 in for $6! Sweet! It's so funny how they lure you in there and the only thing that's pretty much free is looking at the livestock. Which was fun, don't get me wrong but of course the kids see the fun rides and have to go on them. We paid $15 and they each got to go on 2 rides, such a rip off. Oh well, everything else you had to pay to do and the kids were getting tired so we headed home. It was still a fun experience for the kiddos.

The kids on their first ride

Ky driving the farm tractor

Bry's turn

Ky guy turns 2!!! My sweet little baby had his 2nd birthday party on Sat. the 6th of Sept. We got invited to another birthday party that day to Kangaroo Zoo so mom, Bry and Ky left in the morning to party while dad had to stay home to get stuff ready. They had a blast, we went to our good friends Josh 's party and then headed home in a mad dash to get everything ready for that evening. I had a mix match party where people were supposed to dress up in the craziest mix-matched costume they could find (I regret to say that we only had our lovely Brother and Sister in law, Damon and Catherine and kids who came dressed up) My brothers Jace and Landon were also willing to help me out and we put some clashy clothes on them and they were nice and stayed in those clothes once they saw everybody else show up in their normal attire. Anyway, I decorated by using all my old utensils that I've had left over from varies parties, all differ. colors, different napkins, some from Cort's graduation back in '04, superman, sports decor. and I used different table clothes that were from Bry's first birthday and some random Halloween decorations. I was so busy trying to get everything done in time I didn't get any pictures of any of it! So sad! Oh well. Then instead of making a cake I did the backwards thing and made brownies and had homemade ice scream. All in all we had fun, Kyler got spoiled (thanks to everybody who came) and we had a fun little shin dig! Here are a few pics of the par~tey.

Ky at Kangaroo Zoo going head first

Ky just laid back

Bry being crazy and running like a mad man

Ky and his brownie, I had an 'Over the Hill' candle on there too, just can't see it

Look at how ecstatic he is over this drill!

My cute brothers Jace and Landon posing for the photo

Me and Jace, sorry Jace this is the best pic that we had. That'll teach ya to pull weird faces

uhhhhhhh. Me and Landon. Smile?

I just have to say what a joy Kyler has been to our lives. It was hard for me it imagine loving anybody as much as Bryson and not feeling like my love would be split or show favortism. But the Lord does amazing things, I love being a mom to my sweet little boys. Kyler is so much different than Bryson and always has me on my toes. He's been a climber from day one and I've found him on top of our counter dancing and getting into food that's been forbidden and climbing on chairs to jump on the couch etc. etc. He has no fear and has such a little attitude at times. I think for a 2 year old, really? He'll point his little finger at me and say 'no mom' or point his finger and tell Bryson to go to time out. It's pretty fun to see what new things he comes up with everyday. He talks so well and just melts my heart with those big brown puppy eyes (or Puss in Boots from shrek). I love you Ky, I don't know what my life would be like without your sweet little spirit in our home!

Bryson started preschool and boy is mom loving that! He now goes 3 days a week for 3 hours. SWEET! I do have to admit though the time goes by way too fast, and I find Ky wandering around wondering what to do next without his little buddy Bry to harass him. Bryson loves school, he is constantly asking when he gets to go to school again. He's really into art these days. He sits and draws pictures for everybody. He gave about 8 to our neighbor Mardene who watches him in the moringings while I cross and then he made a whole bunch for his teacher and her helper. Everyday he makes more pictures for more people and we are going through a lot of paper. He lays his clothese out the night before and lines his shirt up with his shorts and puts his shoes at the bottom with sox in each one. I only took one picture and he was waiting on me to find some shorts so it's not as cute as the time before when he had the whole outfit layed out. He wakes up way early and gets himself dressed, sometimes before I'm even awake! I am excited that he loves to learn and lets hope that continues years down the road.

Bry's first day of school, doesn't he look handsome?

Bry's clothes he laid out, this is all his doing and no influence by mom!

We headed up to Vernal to a little reservoir that we love over Labor Day weekend. It was beautiful and not busy at all. During the night on Sat. it started to pour on us (luckily this was while we were all sleeping) Sunday was pretty gloomy and over cast. We decided to clean up camp a day early and went out on the boat one last time and headed home to another rain storm in SLC. Cort had to pick up his truck in Park City (His work truck that he left on his job site) and so that left me driving the kids home in his big honkin' truck, he started to rain so hard my wipers were going the fasted they could and it wasn't helping too much. I honestly didn't know if I was gonna make it home safe, it was very scary. And for Cort to say that he had a hard time in his work truck made me feel like it really was bad.

Here are a few pics of us the first night.

Bryson, cousin Aiden and Gavin

Isn't this an adorable pic of Ky?

Me and Cort

I tried to solomn ski for the first time ever and I got to the point where I was getting a hold of it and would kinda get up and then I would drop, I can't believe how different it is than just the doubles. I think all those who can solomn are just amazing and then I look and Cort and his bro Damon and I am in awe. They go crusing across that wake so fast I don't know how they don't get mangled out there. I got some pretty good pics of them and a few of Cort on the wake board. I will put one on of me but Cort couldn't get the picture taken fast enough to actually see me standing up, you just have to believe me.

This is Cort, I didn't get a very good one of him skiing, he just goes too fast across the wake!

Another one of Cort

This is Damon, and I got an awesome one of him, nice rooster tail!

Cort getting some air trying to cross the wake

Cort- this is my favorite (remember he's just a beginner)

This is my father in law Phil, I only see him ski once a year (if that) pretty good huh?

The three cousins just hangin'

More of the kiddos

Ok, so apparently Cort only took 1 pic of me (boo hoo) and I wasn't even trying at this point!

Kyler fell asleep in Phil's lap and he just woke up

This is Cheryl (mom in law) with the kids

So now I sit here at 10:30 pm tired of sitting at this computer and wondering how I spent 2+ hours updating this blog. Note to self- don't wait 4 weeks to update blog! Life here in the Glenn household is good though. Sad to say goodbye to the summer, hoping to squeeze in one more boating trip, even if we don't get in the water. Excited to say hello to fall because it's just beautiful weather and who doesn't love the trees changing colors and the crispness in the air? We will be heading to San Diego in the next week and a half and will try to take lots of photos for the blog. I hope everybody is able to make it through this long post without getting too bored.

Until next time...

Back to school...

Well the summer has flown by way too fast. I think with the winter being longer it seems like we enoyed from June-August. To me that doesn't seem long enough. I have to go back to my lovely crossing guard duty on Monday the 25th and I'll be honest with ya, I really don't want to! It's not like its a hard job, it's actually the easiest job ever (if anyone needs a really easy part time job, let me know) But it's the part of actually having to get up in the morning and function. I have really enjoyed sleeping in and just hanging out in my pj's and doing whatever I wanted without time restrictions. It's been a wonderful summer of fun fun fun in the sun. Here are a few pics of the kids playing at liberty park in the water (my new favorite park)...

Ky having way too much fun trying to sit on the water

Perfect fit!

Kyler, Cooper and Bryson

More splashing

Mr. 'Pose'

We've gone to liberty park with many different friends this summer sorry I don't have pictures of you all. I am very proud of myself for bringing my camera a little bit more often this summer, and I will continue to do my best to remember from here on out. I just love to look at pictures on blogs so I'm going to through some more on here. One of these days I'll get creative enough to do that new slideshow thing...

We've tried to stay busy this summer as you can see and as I've mentioned before we have done a lot of boating. We also got a membership to the zoo and have been a few times. So here are some other pics of the boating trips we've been on and the zoo.

Bry and the 'Ghost of the Bayou'

Before I forget, I really need help with this picture uploading thing. It has taken me way too long. Everytime I upload a pic it goes up to the top of my post and then I have to drag it down and place it where I want it and in the mean time it messes up the other pictures and the order I had them in. Is there any easier way? Please help!!!

Cutest lil' face ever!

Me and my boys (notice how happy Bry is to be by me)

....anyone know how I can rotate this pic?

My family came out for a family reunion in July and we had so much fun doing the reunion and trying to get my little brother ready to send to the MTC. They were here shy of a week, needless to say we were busy and had a lot of shopping to do. We made it on the boat up at Pine View in Ogden and the water was so warm and beautiful. It was perfect! Here are a few pics of my fam. (We were missing my oldest Bro BJ)

My cute little Pa...isn't he handsome?

This is my younger brother Landon, he along with my other brother Jace will be going up to Logan again this year for school. They are super cute with darling personalities if anyone knows any cute girls.... now's your chance!!!

Colton, Bry and Jace

Cort and Ky. He loves to be on the tube and on the boat period. It's so soothing to him, he will turn his head into me and just cuddle and sometimes even fall asleep. So relaxing and fun for all of us :)

Well it's time to get my kiddos to bed, I'll come back and probably just do another post cause this picture thing is getting on my nerves, I can't tell you how many times I've had to re-align everything.... seriously, any help for the newbie?

TIRED!!!

2008-08-10T21:42:00.000-07:00

I will have to keep this post short but promise to finish this at a later date. I just wanted to let everybody know that I am still alive but have been busy. I went to girls camp this past week on Monday and got back Friday morning. It was a ton of fun but just really tiring. We had the opportunity to go to Heber Valley Camp and it is beautiful there. It is Church owned and there is 8,000 acres there! 2 lakes and I don't know how many ropes courses. It was a ton of fun. We went on 3 different hikes. On Wednesday we went on a 5 mile hike (I feel like it was closer to 6) it took nearly 4 hours. But very rewarding. Needless to say I don't feel like I need to work out for the next little bit. Oh wait yes I do, you don't even want to know the junk food I ate there, holy cow!

We came home and on Sat., can you guess?! yup! went boating. It has been so much fun being able to take the boat out, thanks Phil and Cheryl! We have thoroughly enjoyed boating this summer and taken advantage of having it parked in our driveway. Cort is already talking about doing something every weekend until the deer hunt the end of Oct.! What has gotten into my honey? I am going to close this post now but will make another update soon with some cute pictures! Oh, maybe I'll add a couple in for the heck of it.

Ok, so after looking at the pictures I don't really have a lot downloaded that I thought I did. So I will have download some tomorrow and then put some more recent ones up.

These two are of Bryson's first t-ball game and then cort and the boys at the zoo.

Nighty night

Already behind!

2008-07-29T22:10:00.000-07:00

See! I am already behind on my blog, it's been over a week now and I still haven't done a dang thing! And to be honest right now I really really want to go to bed. So this will be a short post. I have been terribly busy these past 2 weeks. Where has the time gone? I was so looking forward to summer all year long and now I feel like it's already almost over. It makes me sad to think we only have 3 months of summer and a lot of months to be really really cold. Especially this past year. My father in law got a new boat this year and we are lucky enough to have it sitting in our drive way since it's like the longest drive way ever. So we have been out on the boat like every weekend and having way too much fun. We have been having our own little vacation here with Cort having Thursday, Friday and Monday off. Thursday we went boating with some friends of ours and had a blast. Later that night we went to dinner at the in-laws and went to fireworks. Friday we took the kids to the zoo and had a lovely time getting scorched in the 100 degree weather. Saturday we went to Snowbird with our neices that are in town from AZ and spent the day there on all the fun attractions such as the zip line and the alpine slide. Later that night we went swimming and then camping again Sunday night and boating on Monday! So you can see how busy our weekend has been and now it time to play catch up on all our stuff here at the house. I get the opportunity to go to girls camp with my ward for the 4th year in a row and this year we are going to Heber Valley Camp. I am totally excited because we get to sleep in Cabins and everything is pretty much taken care of for us. We don't have to worry about food or a ton of activities or anything. I will make sure to take lots of pictures for the blog and I will conquer my fear of heights by going on the ropes course and doing all of them. Well I feel like I could go on and on about what's been happening here, but I kinda feel as if I'm boring everybody. So I will try to post some pics cause are the funnest to look at. I will post again soon... :) ps thanks for all the wonderful comments! It is so exciting opening my email and seeing all the lovely emails just for me! I feel so loved

Peer Pressure

2008-07-22T14:58:00.000-07:00

So the Glenn's have finally joined the blogging world! I have two friends who have non stop peer pressured me into starting one. I have to let everybody know, however not to get your hopes up because I think I know myself better than anyone and know that I will probably be the worst blogger ever. I don't even email and send pictures to my poor parents who live out of state very frequently. Anyway, my dearest friend Chantel was over and got on the computer and started a blog for me in less that 2 minutes, so I guess I don't have a choice! So Mel I am hoping this will stop you from starting nasty rumors about me.
I will have to finish posting later, I have to go figure out how to run the rest of my blog and set up a way cute page for all to see.
Ciao

Happy New Year! Hee hee hee
