Gator Wash

It is official, Gator Wash is NOW OPEN!! This has been a long time coming and we are so excited that it is finally open and operating. For those of you who are not familiar with Gator Wash let me enlighten you. Gator Wash is an express tunnel car wash. You simply drive your car onto a track, stay seated, and the track guides you through. Another great feature is we offer FREE VACUUMS. We would love for anyone to stop in, check it out, get a wash, and please pass the word!

Happy Birthday Talyn!!

Talyn turned 2 on October 2nd. He is obsessed with "Horsee's" so we decided to rent a couple of ponies for his birthday. We had a barnyard theme party and invited several of his little buddies. The kids had such a blast taking turns riding the ponies, swinging at the Horse Piñata, eating pizza, and enjoying giant cupcakes. I can't believe he is 2 years old already, it is amazing how quickly time goes by. The best part of the party for me was seeing the pure joy and excitement on Talyn's face...there is nothing better than that!

30!!!

On the 22nd I turned 30. I can not believe I am that old!! Everyone says the thirties are the new twenties...I guess I will find out. My wonderful husband went completely out of the norm and threw me a surprise party. I love Corey dearly but he is not the best at keeping surprises. However, I must say that this was a surprise, completely unexpected. He made such an effort especially being gone to Phoenix the weekend before for a World Softball tournament. I was so impressed at all the arrangments and detail he put into it, even down to my favorite cake...red velvet! Thanks to Courtney for hosting it at her house. She did such a great job with all the decorations and set up. I had such a wonderful time as did the kids, the food was delicious, and the company was great.
A funny note, if you add up all the kids there, we had 13 boys and 1 baby girl. I wish we could have gotten a picture with all the kids(9) and babies(5), but you know that is just one daunting task!

It Happened Again!!

Most of you know back in November Talyn fell & hit his tooth knocking it back up into his gums. Fortunately, the tooth came back down on its own and is fine. Well, on Tuesday Talyn was playing on a playground. He fell and hit his face. When I got to him, blood was pouring from his mouth and nose. We rushed him to his pediatric dentist. Unfortunately, they had to pull his tooth. So now he will be toothless until his permanent tooth comes in! How do you knock 2 teeth out in less than a year!!

State Fair 2008

Every year since I can remember my mom and I have gone to the State Fair. We have carried on that tradition with Talyn. Talyn loved the fair because of all the "horsee's", the "mooo's", the "baaah's", & all the other animals. Of course he enjoyed riding the pony! The fair has definately changed over the years but I hope it is a tradition we continue with for years to come.

2008 WJ Alumni Basketball Tourney!

For the past several years West Jordan Highschool has put on an alumni basketball tournament for a fundraiser. Since Corey played highschool ball he goes back and plays in the tournament. It is always fun to see familiar faces from school that you don't see but once a year at the tournament. This year his team had to scrap together a team because several of their usual players weren't able to play. they picked up a few guys that graduated their year but didn't play basketball.

Bow Hunt 2008

This year for the Bow Hunt we were invited to join the Springer, Osterander, Posh group. The area we camped in was beautiful. We had such a great time camping and riding the 4 wheelers on all the different trails. Fortunately, no one got a deer while we were there...I am all about the camping but not about the killing! Talyn had a blast playing with Andy's boys Hayden & Cole. Maybe next year we can get Kelly to venture out! We had such a great time we can't wait until next year!
