Just Me & Jed

Jed and I took the trailer and headed up to the Green River near Kemmer, WY. A bunch of guys from a job he was working on went up there to roast a pig, camp, and fish for a weekend so we left the kiddos and hit the road. On the way there we ran out of fuel! It was great!
The infamous mug...


And a good game of Pass The Crown = Good times.

Summer

Theese are not in any kind of order...

We visited the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point right before school started with my sister and her girls.

And the Splash Pad in Highland with Calie, Sunny, Peggy and Brennan and the kiddos of course.

This is a Lehi City Firefighter party... The Firefighters spray foam out of their hoses for the kids to play in. There are two different areas on for the big kids and one for the little kids. I was with the Steele and Ryklee and Jed was with Kylie and Remie so I don't have any pictures of Ky and Rem playing.

This is some Crook Neck Squash and Zucchini out of our garden.

Dax bonding with Raz.

Kylie and Remie danced in the A.F. parade.

Steele riding his real wheeler. He ran into the swing set and went up over his handlebars this day and got right back on to ride more.

And then there were three...

DaxTirell Dean was born June 30th instead of July 13th because I was itchy... literally! I still don't quite understand it but my Gal bladder wasn't functioning properly which made my liver not function properly which made be so unbelievably itchy I was about to check myself into a the mental ward. And trust me I tried all the creams, allergy meds, and bath concoctions I could find. Come to find out they weren't working because I was itchy from the inside out. When my awesome doctor got the results of my blood tests back he scheduled a C-Section the next day because it was putting us at risk for a still birth. So Wednesday June 30th at 8:22 AM DaxTirell was born weighing in at a whopping 6 lbs. 4 oz. and and 19 inches long.




...And the itching got worse from the Spinal Block and then finally went away completely that night. Though I did have scratches and scabs all over my head and chest. But look was a handsome little fart he is!

Three Fat Girls...

My due date was July 17th, Calie was Aug. 26th, and Sunny Oct. 4th All expecting BOYS.

Shandee took all of these photos. She did awesome I promise there are serious ones of us but we all like the dorky ones much better it takes the focus off of the BIGNESS. And PLEASE don't think about figuring out which belly belongs to who!

Jed ran the Pleasant Grove 5K with Kylie, Katie, & Denise.

Here they are crossing the finish line.

We've have a few new additions to our family this year...

This is Honkey & "46" they are Mustangs that we adopted this spring. Steele named the little guy "46" after his favoite number on his tape measure. REALLY. My dad came up with Honkey because he really likes to snort or honk his nose at you. He is BEAUTIFUL!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture of Honkey and Pickles!

Alison's Pantry

Some of you may know and some may not, that I began working as a Sales Rep for Alison's Pantry. It is something I do from home and I am having a lot of fun doing it!

What is Alison's Pantry???

Some people may compare it to "Shwan's". I have a catalog I can send out monthly (or you can check it out online) and you can order MANY MANY items at great prices and a lot of it comes in bulk. The items available range from Frozen Meat, Vegtables, Fruits, Appetizers, & Treats to Dry mixes, Fresh Bulk Spices, Sauces, Soups, Just about any Baking Needs, Food Storage Containers & Recipie Books. Plus many more.



Here are some reasons why people Love Alison's Pantry!


QUALITY. Our frozen meats and vegetables are
premium quality products. These are the same
products served in nice restaurants, but our customers
enjoy them in bulk packaging at affordable prices.
Their Grade A flavor, texture, and color make them
standouts in your meals.
FRESHNESS. Even our pre-cooked bacon isn’t manufactured and packaged
until the week that it ships. Our products don’t sit in warehouses, and you can
taste the flavorful difference!
BULK SPICES and BAKING SUPPLIES.
Our customers love buying fresh, aromatic spices in
1 lb. bags for the same price they would pay for small jars
in their local grocery store. They also love our powdered
flavorings, bulk chocolate chips, and fresh nuts for their
baking. For convenience, we also offer our versatile private
label mixes.
DEHYDRATED PRODUCTS. Every month our catalog offers a nice selection
of dehydrated and other long-term storage and preparedness products to help
our customers prepare for the unexpected.
UNIQUE ITEMS. Our customers love having access to the same scrumptious
products that foodservice companies do, like frozen soups, proof-and-bake
butter flake rolls, etc.
CONVENIENCE. Alison’s Pantry customers love
the convenience of planning ahead and placing a
monthly order. Their freezers have the ingredients
they need for delicious meals so they don’t have to
run to the local store, and pay more. They also love
the personal service they receive from their AP Rep.



SO, if you would like to see a catalog or know anyone that might be interested let me know! I am having a lot of fun doing this and trying new things. I absolutly LOVE the SPICES!!!

Update...

Well, I haven't been too good at this blog stuff at all but I decided I might catch it up a little...

We've had quite the winter around here.

Thanksgiving morning we found out that we are pregnant. Our due date is July 19.

Jed was laid off just before Christmas and has been busy building me beautiful furniture. A bed and matching night stands (LOVE THEM) and a kitchen table. He has also remodled our spare bedroom into quite the room for Kylie... it is amazing! The baby will take her old room. He won a $5,000 gift card to South Valley Motor Sports at his Granite Company Holiday Party and bought the kids new bikes. Kylie got a TTR125 Yamaha Motorcycle that she is slowly but surely beggining to love. And Steele got a Raptor 50 fourwheeler he is quite the stud on.

Jed turned 33 this Janruary and he and I went up to Midway and stayed the night at the Zermatt Resort. It was a lot of fun to get away and enjoy each others company.

Our cousin Tyrel died of complications with a seziure very unexpectedly about two weeks later on a Sunday afternoon. We miss him dearly and think about him often. He was quite the kid! There are SO many things that will never be the same without him... Since he has been gone I can't count the times Jed has said and I have thought, "Wish Tyrel were here, he'd hit that jump!" or "This would be so much more fun with Tyrel". We love you man and can't wait to see you again!

Jed's Uncle Woofy (Kent) and family stayed with us while they were here for the services and then he came back up about two weeks later to pick up a snow cat. It was a lot of fun to have him here and spend time with him. He and Jed are (((SO))) much a like it's not even funny. We had a good time with him, Aunt Trudy, Uncle Steven, my dad, and one of Trudy's cousins out in the snow cat one night.

I also had Area & State Special Olympics Volleyball games during this crazy time. At area the team that I coach took home the Gold Medal and at State we took home the Bronze! Way to go guys, and thanks for making me smile!

February we had the Ultrasound that told us we are having another bouncing BOY, Yippe!

March has just begun and things are begging to look up... Jed is back to work!!!

My parents had their TWENTY-EIGHTH anniversary and we also just celebrated my mom's birthday.
