We are blessed ever day, but this last month we have felt more overwhelmed at times! Felix was able to get a promotion and get his own truck! This is a position that he has been wanting and working for for a long time!

Tyson turn's 6!

I can't believe my baby is 6, I guess he is not a baby anymore! He had a couple of friends come over and then some of his older cousin's came for his family party! Felicia, Domenick and their honeys came over and I thought that was really nice! Martin was out of town! We had alot of fun!!

Thoughts!

I thought I would explain some of these pictures below!

Tyson waited a week or two just to carve his little pumkin, when it was time he did it by himself but he sure didn't like it to well! My monkey boy Jayson had a little one also and he climbed up on the table and did his, it took a whole 5 min. if that!!

Josie has been really sick! (Felix's mom) She had a seizure in Oct. and we took her to the hospital. She had another one and stopped breathing. She only spent a day in ICU and they sent her home with two kinds of medication, one for the brain and Valium to help relax her (I guess)! Anyways to make a long story short, she has hepatitis C. So instead of the liver running the Valium out of her system it sat and built up! 3 weeks later we took her in to the hospital severely dehydrated and she had a drug overdose! She spent a week in there and then she has been at the care center for the last 3 weeks! She would not make sense and would talk of things in the past, we thought she might of altimerz but one of the therapist mentioned something about ammonia levels and if they had checked it. I guess the liver or kidney can cause confusion in the brain. Sure enough that was it, they put her on a medicine and in about 2 days you can tell a big difference. That was thanksgiving week. She is doing so much better and should be coming home this week!!

One of the pictures is of Bryan's artwork he made the hand in art! There is one that the boys decided they did not like Shrek anymore. I went outside to see what they were doing and they hung him up!

Halloween 2008

Bryan & Jayson play Football!

Bryan and Jayson played football this last fall. they were on the Vikings! They loved it!

Even though they only won a few games they were really goods sports. Parents would always make an arch and they would run through it, they loved it! Then they would get in the circle and do a cheer!

Bryan and Amadeus! People would ask all the time if they were brothers or at least related! They were on the same team last year too! He is actually a year younger!

While we were out in Salt Lake Tyson lost his first tooth! Yea!Jayson and Emma having a banana!

Zeus and Emma wanted to play along with mom!!

Felix's Surgery Oct. 2008

The first of October Felix had to go have surgery for a hernia. We went to Salt Lake to have it done! Everything went well and he is doing really good! above: Before Surgery

below: Right after he woke up, that little ball is actually medicine that went around the incision to keep it numb. It is supposed to keep you from taking so much pain medicine!

Bryan came to the hospital with me to keep me company, but as you can see he listened to his music and laughed with his dad! No, he did keep me company!

Felix after surgery, they cut along the same scare as his last surgery 2 years ago!

After they took the staples out!

Fall Picture's Oct. 2008

Jayson relaxed watching the court of honor!

Bryan getting some merit badges at his first court of honor! He got his second class and should have his first class by his birthday in Dec.!

Tyson's first art project from school!

When kids get a hold of the camera, Jayson was having too much fun blowing bubbles!!



Silly cat Gary climbed on the shelves and then on top of the door!

Fall is here and with that comes the COLD! The sad thing is I know it is just the beginning. The boys are helping chop wood with Felix!

About a month ago our cat Fritz died, he was literally going on his 10th or 11th life! I saw some bird dogs running around the neighborhood on the day he came up missing. Jayson found him the next day at the neighbor's. He was Bryan's cat and he followed him on the roof one day. He actually climbed up the ladder, crawled on the roof and then Felix told him to come down and he did! We thought it was way cute! Now we just have two cats, which is ok with me! We had Fritz for a couple of years!

Yea, School Starts!

Can't believe that school has started! Of course I was soooo ready for it to start! Bryan goes to middle school now, which just blows me away! He is enjoying it so far, so that is good. Jayson is in 5th and he is liking it. He gets to get Tyson and walk home! Yes my little boys are all in school now! Tyson started kindergarten, he was so ready and he is loving it! He rides the bus to school but than walks home with Jay! The first day of school I got the wrong time on catching the bus, so he is getting his back pack and next thing we knew the bus goes by! He had a look of "Now I can't go to school!" but I told him I would take him and he looked a lot better! Of course now we almost can't do anything in the morning because he will tell me he'll miss the bus! He has only been going for 4 days now so I am sure he will realize that he won't miss it!

Our Summer Vacation-Reunion!

I meant to get this on a month ago but just been busy! WOW, did we have some fun! As some of you know we just go out to Salt Lake every summer and visit Misty and Mom! We stayed from July 21-Aug. 3, 2008, OK actually Bryan, Tyson and I stayed that long. Felix was only able to stay for 1 week and then he had to come back to Vernal to work. Jayson did they same except he went down to Enoch with Aunt Amy for 2 weeks!
We decided to get in touch with some friends of ours, David and Marykay Greco. We have not seen them for way to many years. Felix & David were in the National guard together, which was when Felix and I first got together. It was so much fun and then they moved and life goes on, so I was really excited to see and visit with them. Silly me took my camera but forgot to take any pictures, duh! Next time!

On Wednesday we went to Lagoon with Misty and Tom. We have never been, well Felix and I both went when we were teenagers, but never as a family! We had so much Fun! I don't care for roller coasters so I didn't ride. Felix not so much either but he had to go with the boys!! Bryan loved the Wicked, Jayson didn't care to much but he liked the other rides, and Felix, I think he just liked it cause the boys did! Of course I took Tyson to the kid rides with Misty and Tom and her two boys! I believe Tyson will be like Bryan and just love the thrill of the rides! I think he went on the drop about 4 times! We took Amy's daughter Darci with us and she loved it as well! We decided we are definitely going to go again next year but start earlier so we can go to Lagoona Beach too!!

Of course we all we to the temple on Friday and did temple sealings! That is such a neat experience! I love it! It has turned into a tradition every reunion to do that!
Saturday Aunt Sherma (my dad sister) and cousin Cindy came and it was nice to visit with them! Uncle Al and Aunt Carol (my mom's brother and his wife) were there the end of the week and stayed through out the weekend! That was really neat to visit and get to know them!
I finally figured out how to do the slide shows so as you look down alot of the pictures are slide shows! This saves space and time and I can show all the pictures I want! So ENJOY!

Reunion Fun!!

Zeus meets Scuppers!

It was fun and sometimes very frustrating with these two! One minute Zeus would be growling at Scuppers and the next they would be laying next to each doing just fine! I think cause Scuppers was a puppy and Zeus is 6 yrs old is why they didn't play too much, but then I think Zeus would play but he wanted us to know that he thought this was still his home! Ha Ha!

It was so much fun visiting with Uncle Al & Aunt Carol! I have not seen them forever and have never visited with them in my adult life! They are from Oregon! Thanks for coming down!

Misty's puppy giving Uncle Al slobbers!!

Lagoon part 1!

Lagoon part 2!

We forgot to get a picture of our family before we all left, Bryan and Jayson went with Misty to get the car!

" Ah, do we have to leave?" , "Yes, now just smile one last time!"

Jayson stayed in the pool a little too long! It looked like you could just lift his skin off!

Beth says, "Look at my hands too!" Funny!

Felix looking for Darci's tooth, he found it!

Fire!

We went through Provo Canyon on our way home and where able to take this picture! I guess the fire started on July 25th and they almost had it out and then the winds came back up! This we took Aug. 3, 2008! I guess it started up by the restaurant above Bridal Veils. The restaurant has been empty for 10 or so years! They think it was human caused! Where the restaurant was is to the right of the picture!

Birthday's Everywhere!!

Bryan enjoying his heroclix! One of the many reasons Bryan likes to go to uncle Tom's!

Mason will usually play with them, but here Jene'and Mason found some and decided to play their own game!
