Hibiscus flowers

 
These are blooming next to my front porch right now and they are so gorgeous aren't they? They remind me of Hawaii being their state flower and all.

My can I say it.........33rd birthday.

 
 
 
Well another year older and wiser some say. I hope so. I hate turning odd years though, I just like even numbers better. In the picture with my mom and me and the cake the candles are falling down into the cake, probably cause there were so many, she made my sister put on all 33 candles and we pulled them out of the cake. My mom gave me the cutest tink pjs and my bro and sis in law gave me a "twilight" t-shirt, we decided the boat was also a birthday present from Brandon and I to ourselves. My mom in law gave me a beautiful fall wreath that I love and laurie,landen,lisa,garett,anj,garrett, and Brian gave me some purfume, socks, lip gloss, mint body wash and I love it all too. My grandparents gave me some hand soap and a gift card to ruby river. They have the best shrimp on the planet there. Thanks everyone. We also went out to lunch to bamboo hut cause I was cravin' the noodles so bad.

HUNTER FUN RUN

 
This is an annual trip that we go on up to strawberry with the Hunter reps. It consists of a 4wheeler ride to different points where we draw a face card. Whoever ends up with the best hand at the end wins a prize. This year it was a mini vacation. We didn't win but we had fun and so did the girls on the ride. You can see from the before and after pics that we got dirty. Jayden was content to stay in the camp trailer and watch movies. They also have raffle ticket drawing and the kids all won a prize so that was cool too. Thanks Hunter and Allan and Gena, p.s the food was so good especially the bananas foster dessert we had. Can't wait for next year. Maybe I'll have my own 4wheeler by then. The picture in the top right corner is a tree that was struck by lightning.

Turner Family reunion at Bear Lake

We had so much fun on this trip. I did not want to come home. We boated and ate yummy raspberry shakes every night, one night it was pouring rain but for a die hard ice creamer like me it was ok. We had a tournament one night of games like horseshoes,ping pong(by the way I took third),my brother Jared won, he plays every day and even has his own paddle and balls. Also they did fuseball and pool. One night we had a mountain man rendevous. This involved a stick pull game that Brandon and I were the king and queen of. We had a carnival that night and did games like fish pond, balloon darts, pinata in the shape of a hot pepper, and lots more. We also went to a play called thoroughly modern millie and Jayden blushed the whole time at millie and had to get a pic with her. It was so cute. We also went hiking in a cave and I can't remember the name but it was lots of fun and chilly in there. We had a tallent night and Jayden told a story called the "red ribbon" that he has memorized, Aubrey sang a song from kindergarten called "I like you like you are, and then Aub and Alli both sang "I am a child of God". Such good times and memories and Crystal if you read this please email me the pics of my family and the group ones k thanks.I highly recommend Bear Lake to anyone and thanks to my uncle and aunt for all their hard work planning it.

First day of 1st grade and Pre-school

 

 

Aubrey and Alli both opened a new can of worms in their lives last week. Aubrey was a bit nervous to start 1st grade but she did fine. Alli on the other hand just ran away and said "bye Mom". It has been great for all of us.

Our new edition

 

We got this boat at the end of June and have loved it. I know I have shown a lot of pictures in and around it but never of it so here it is. Brandon and I haven't settled on a name,so I am taking suggestions. He wants "rasta mon" I believe. I want something islandy. I have an idea if we choose your suggestion we'll take you out in it. Thanks!

THIS SATURDAY BABY!! GO COUGARS!!

 

Rascal Flatts concert spring 2007

LIGHTNING......

 
This picture was taken last winter. A guy in our city carves different things out of snow about every week in the winter. He just uses the snow that gets pushed into the gutter and onto the sidewalk. It was fun to drive by and see what he had done.
