Professional Fire Fighter or Pyro

Ok so we have been working on our back yard all summer. We finally put up our privacy fence, put in the sprinkler system, planted grass and just cleaned up the yard a ton! We had a huge pile of trees weeds and other stuff to burn. I kept telling Dev that we need to burn it before we put in the VINYL fence up. And this is what he would say to me, "dear I'm a fire fighter, trust me its fine" I did how ever talk him into hauling some of it off. So when the day came to burn it all he took his GAS can and little liter out there and lit the pile on firer and most of HIS leg hairs! Our vinyl fence started to melt, so my job for the day about 6 hours or so was to water down the fence! The pile burned for 2 days and a week later when it started raining it begun smoking again, so under all the ash its still hot! And as for Devin's leg hair, he ended up shaving from his knees down. Oh well at least the yard looks better:)

Friends

A couple of weeks ago Amber was in town, She just had her sweet little Tyce in June. It was so fun to get together with Amber and Sheridan and catch up on everything and to laugh about the "old days" We always have so much fun together! We tried to get some pictures with our kids but it didn't work out so well. Trying to get a newborn, a 6 month old and a 1 year old to cooperate is HARD! Thanks girls for the fun! Can't wait for the next time!

Conner, Tyce and Chandler

Cottonwood

a bit of an update!

Well over the 4th of July weekend they Whole Hunt Family was able to get together. It was cool to see everyone and get pictures together, we haven't done that for about 13 years!

After ward we went to the show low fire works, Devin was covering for Show Low fire since they sets off the fire works, they had a huge BBQ, They got a call but made it back right before the fire works. Conner wasn't to sure what to think of the Fire works they would go off and he would watch them and then look at us, like what are those, we just kept clapping and saying yahhhh, He decided they were boring and slept through most of them!

Then the following night we went to the Taylor Fire works, It was so funny Conner and Aaden where playing on the grass together, when the light s went off Conner just kept playing then all of a sudden the first fire work went off and Conner frozen momentarily and then leaped into our arms. Aaden scrambled under the blanket and said, "mommy me scared!" It was so cute, Both boys were asleep with in the first 5 minutes!

Happy 4th of July every one!!!!

Over the past 2 weeks we have been watching Kenz play all stars, Their team won district in Taylor and are now playing for state in Cottonwood. The girls have been doing really good, Kenz has been sick and throwing up but she still gets out there and plays... what a trooper! Tomorrow they play for championship if they win its on to Nationals in Vancouver WA!!!! I tried to add a slide show but it keeps giving me a HTML error!

Devin and I also had our 5 year anniversary. He has been out on a wild land assignment in CA for 8 days and made it home the day of our anniversary! The last 5 years have flown by I'm so grateful for the amazing husband and father Devin is. Love you babe!

And last of all here are some fire pictures from CA. Devin brought back a pine cone that is over 17 inches long! It is the biggest pine cone I've ever seen! Here is Devin with the crew he went with Dennis, Devin, Kerry and Craig

Called to serve

Over the past week we have spent a lot of time with Devins Grandma and Grandpa West, They have been called to serve a mission in the Philippians. We are all so excited for them and grateful for the wonderful example they always set for us! This is a picture of our last good bye to them as the get ready to head to security. I wish I had pictures of are ride to the airport. They Whole family decided to see them off at the airport. So that means that we had a lot of cars following each other, it was so funny to see everyone try to make it throw all the lights and keep up! When we left Dave and Raelynns house it reminded me of the movie, Home Alone, when they all wake up late an rush out the door! That was us:-) Thanks again to Dave and Raelynn for letting us crash your house, we had so much fun visiting, shipping and swimming! And to Austin for the great breakfast!

Conner turns 1!!!!

I can't believe how fast this last year has gone by. Seems like not to long ago we were just bringing Conner home and now he is running around, eating food, sleeping through the night and had his first birthday! He has been such an amazing baby and we are so thankful for him and the sweet personality that he has. Here are some pictures of his party and some of his 1st!

Memorial Weekend

First off Congratulations to Shay. She graduated from SHS on Friday night. We had a dinner for her and opened gifts and then off to watch her grad. I was so glad that they moved it inside the gym! I was planning on sitting in the truck, freezing my butt off with a little one is just not what I call fun. We are so proud of Shay, not only did she graduate high school but she will also have her Associates Degree at the end of this summer. Her plan for now I think is to go into nursing or something medical! She will also be testing for her EMT sometime this month!

After the Graduation we headed out toward Heber and went camping with the Hunt Family! I am a warm weather camper, but even though it was a little cold we still all had a great time. A lot of the Hunt Family was there so it was fun to see aunts and cousins I dont get to see often. We spent the day riding quads, playing horse shoes and of course eating!

Hair Cut

Conner finally got a hair cut. For a little Blondie he sure had a lot of hair. Devin's Grandma Wood cut it for us and did such a good job. To keep him still we just kept giving him food. He did pretty good until she tried to cut around his ears, he would reach his hand up and push the scissors away. Here are before and after pictures. He looks so much older to us now:) Thanks Grandma!
