Easton and Thora Hood Family Reunion

2011-08-28T13:57:00.002-06:00

We had a chance to go to a family reunion in Salt Lake City, Easton and Thora Hood, my dads parents. It was a lot of fun and I wish I had more pictures to share. I think we figured there are over 200 descendants of my grandparents right now, so there were a lot of people I haven't seen in a really long time.

My dad Vaughn and his youngest grandchild, Riley Wray Hood

My parents and their 14 grandchildren

Tyler and Wyatt

Brandon and Justin participating in some of the games. I thought is was cool that they were on different teams but I got them both in the same picture

We stopped by temple square before heading to Star Valley.

Brandon's 11th Birthday!

2011-08-28T13:47:00.004-06:00

Brandon's birthday in Wyoming like we are every year at the beginning of August. Its fun because there is a lot of family to celebrate with. He really likes airplanes so I found a cake with a airplane for him.

Opening presents wasn't too exciting because all the wanted was money so he could buy a new mountain bike. He was so excited!

The mountain bike he bought. He loves it!

Alyssa's 3rd Birthday!!

2011-08-28T13:34:00.002-06:00

Aly's new nightgown

2011-04-09T18:26:00.002-06:00

I wanted to make Aly a nightgown with the dolphin fabric I made the boys some pajamas with, but didn't quite have enough so she picked some other fabric out at the store. She wanted to make sure there was enough so her baby would have a matching nightgown. My mom made her baby's nightgown while we were skiing last week. Thanks mom!

Tyler's 6th Birthday

2011-04-09T18:17:00.003-06:00

Tyler's 6th birthday!!! He wanted to go to Wahooz to play mini golf for his birthday. It was a little chilly to play golf in February. He had a hockey cake that was yummy and opened lots of fun presents with Ryan, Jennifer, Kathryn and his family.

Pinewood Derby

2011-04-09T17:38:00.003-06:00

Pinewood derby 2011 (year 3 of 7 in a row for us for pinewood derby's). Justin made a Boise police car and Brandon's was black with flames on the side. They had a lot of fun! Tyler was counting down the day's. With Randy being the Cubmaster it was a family affair!

2011-04-03T16:36:00.003-06:00

We went to Star Valley for spring break. One more time to play in the snow and to take the boys skiing at Teton Village. We talked my mom and dad into taking the day off. My mom watched Alyssa and my dad went with us. He helped Tyler a lot! We had a great time! The boys have asked multiple times when we can go again.

Playing in the snow in Wyoming

2011-02-13T19:21:00.004-07:00

2011-02-13T18:29:00.003-07:00

Justin wanted a Harry Potter Birthday Cake this year, so this is the best I could come up with.

Opening some of his presents, he got lots of great stuff!

Before Justin's nine year old birthday he received his wolf badge in cub scouts. He is searching for his wolf badge in the wolf guts (spaghetti). Randy is the cub master so he gets to give the boys all their awards and plan the pack meetings.

Our annual hunt for our Christmas tree

2011-01-21T15:33:00.003-07:00

Corn Maze

2010-10-17T14:44:00.004-06:00

Every year the police department sponsors a night at the corn maze. This is one of our favorite things to do in the fall. This year we have had a warmer than usual fall so the boys actually wore shorts.

There are a lot of activities to do such as the cow train, a corn kernel sand box, pig races, corn cob cannon, and of course the corn maze, which was a guy in a kayak. Randy took a picture with his phone when he was flying over one day. It was pretty cool! He is officially a pilot now!!!!

Getting on the bus. Justin said "Mom do you HAVE to take a picture of us getting on the bus this year?" Of course I do. It's Tyler's first time on a bus.

Brandons 10th Birthday

2010-09-05T18:20:00.004-06:00

A cookie cake this year. YUM!

Hockey was the theme for Brandons birthday this year. New rollarblades, hockey stick, hockey puck, and a nice hockey net.

We also went to Wahooz and played minigolf, go carts, and games. It was so much fun. He also went golfing with his dad.

Justins Roller Hockey

2010-08-08T18:45:00.004-06:00

Justin played roller hockey this summer. He really enjoyed it and had a good time. He likes speed and is really a good on rollerblades.

We enjoyed watching him play, you can kind of see Tyler's smaller blue cast in this picture, this was one day before it was taken off.

Bear Lake

2010-08-08T18:25:00.004-06:00

We spent a long weekend in Wyoming the last week of July. Both of my sisters and of course my brother that lives there were able to come too, so we could all spend a couple of days together. I didn't do a very good job taking pictures, but here are some I took when we spent the day at Bear Lake.

Wyoming

2010-08-08T18:20:00.003-06:00

Here are some more pictures from Wyoming. Randy and Duane helped Robert finish his fence so after getting all sweaty my mom and I suggested they go jump off the Grover Auburn bridge to cool down. Candace and Stacy also decided to join in the fun and of course our daredevil and water loving boy Justin had to try it when we got there also. We also had a family picture taken of everyone on the green tractor and in the grain field. I took a few pictures with my camera. They got mixed up with the bridge jumping pictures

I can't believe Tyler is old enough to go to Kindergarten. He is very ready and can't wait to start school.

Alyssa's 2nd Birthday

2010-06-20T11:18:00.007-06:00

Alyssa had a great birthday!! She is such a fun girl and has a great personality. Its a good thing she learned to talk so early because she has a lot to say. She also potty trained herself last month. She is growing way to fast!

Tylers Baseball

2010-06-20T11:06:00.005-06:00

Tyler had a great time this spring playing tee ball. His team was the Florida Marlins (we always get excited when the boys get to play for Florida teams). He always asked his coach if he could play first base, I guess because they get all the action during tee ball. He had a great time and it was good for Brandon and Justin to be cheering on Tyler instead of the other way around.

Tylers broken arm

2010-06-20T10:49:00.007-06:00

Last weekend I went with my mom and kids to go to Worland Wyoming for my nephew's baby blessing. That Sunday after church we were setting up to have a nice lunch when Tyler was standing on the arm rest of a love seat and fell over backwards and broke his arm. My dad, Candace and I took him to the emergency room in Worland. While we were there we learned they didn't have a orthopedic surgen so we had to drive 90 miles to Cody Wyoming were they could fix his arm. It was very hard to be so far away from home and Randy was in the Minneapolis airport feeling helpless. He was flying back to Boise from Florida where he had been for his grandma's 80th birthday celebration. They were able to set his arm while he was put out and everything went pretty well. He was so good and such a easy patient. It is hard for him now because he wants to play soceer, ride his bike and run around like 5 year old boys do.

Guys Weekend

2010-05-10T18:19:00.004-06:00

The boys (Randy, Ryan, Brandon, Justin and Tyler) went on a guys weekend to Salt Lake City last weekend. They went to temple square, ate IN-N-OUT and went to the motocross race. At the race it rained, snowed, hailed etc., so by the end the boys were cold and miserable but had a great time anyway.

Fun Run

2010-05-07T14:51:00.004-06:00

Brandon and Justin have been wanting to run in the Meridian fun run every year but they are usually playing flag football. This year we didn't have anything going on that Saturday so they finally got to run in it. They were so excited because they had heard that you get a metal when you finish which they were very excited about.

wearing their metals (which were very nice)

Justin running hard!

Brandon is almost there, way to go. Next year I would love to run it with them!

Ryan and Jennifer are engaged!!

2010-05-06T13:27:00.006-06:00

Our family is so excited that Ryan and Jennifer are engaged!! They got engaged when Jennifer was visiting Ryan in Idaho a couple of weeks ago. They let me take some engagement pictures while she was here to remember the moment. Aren't they cute!!

Providence Canyon

2010-04-20T15:32:00.004-06:00

We went on a day trip to Providence Canyon in Georgia. We had an picnic lunch and went on a nice hike. We really enjoyed the beatiful colors of the canyon.

St George Island Beach

2010-04-17T15:18:00.004-06:00

One of the great things we got to do in Georgia was go to St George Island Beach in Florida. It really is a beautiful beach and the weather was perfect. Not too hot, not too cold. The kids loved building sand castles and playing in the water. Alyssa did not like the sand much and sat on the blanket the whole time.

Alyssa's new skirt

2010-03-14T19:11:00.003-06:00

I have been wanting to sew something for Alyssa for a long time and finally worked up the nerve to do it. I thought this would be cute with her cowboy boots she got for Christmas and she loves her new (Twirly Skort).

Tylers 5th Birthday Party

2010-03-14T19:01:00.002-06:00

Tyler had his first friend birthday party! He was so excited and wanted a football party. We all wore our Dolphin Football clothes and had fun playing games, eating cake and opening presents.

Tylers 5th Birthday

2010-03-14T18:42:00.002-06:00

Tylers birthday was a little crazy because we had our annual scout blue and gold banquet that night, but he did enjoy opening presents and eating lunch at Five Guys. He is such a great boy and we love having him as part of our family.

Playing in Wyoming

2010-03-06T14:25:00.006-07:00

We went to Wyoming in the long presidents day weekend. We had almost forgot that it really was winter until we got there and saw the snow. We have had a pretty mild winter here in Meridian. My dad has two little snowmobiles and had made a figure eight track out in the field. The kids had so much fun Saturday playing outside all day and had the sunburn faces to prove it next day at church. We even had a little hot dog roast for lunch. The kids loved playing with their cousins Emma and Harmon, even Alyssa had a blast in the snow for a couple of hours, she loved the snowmobiles and tryed to walk out in front on them when they would come around so they would have to stop and give her a ride.

We had a great time in Wyoming. We enjoyed a great meal with my parents, Candace, Duane and family, Robert, Stacy and family and my cousin Gwen and her family from Utah
and my Aunt Linda and Uncle Alan. Some of us enjoyed riding in my dad and Chad's airplane. We also went hunting for our Christmas tree. Randy hiked up the hill while I played with the kids on the hill. We also went to the night Christmas parade and really enjoyed playing with cousins and family. On Saturday Randy, Duane, Robert and my dad put some new tin on the old barn. They worked really hard and it looks great. My dad also has a little snowmobile the kids played on. They loved it, especially Justin, he would ride it until his thumb hurt from the pushing the throttle.

Dolphins Room

2009-11-05T12:42:00.003-07:00

Brandon and Justin have always wanted a Miami Dolphins room and I wasn't keen on painting a room orange and turquoise but since their room is upstairs I was finally talked into it. We want to put up some shelves sometime so it's not quite done. They love it and so does their dad!!

Halloween

2009-11-05T12:31:00.004-07:00

I was thinking I should update my blog, but we haven't been doing a lot lately and when we do something fun I forget to take my camera (linder farms, trunk or treat). Then I remembered I didn't put pictures of the first day of school so here they are.

Tyler's first day of preschool. I can't believe he will be in Kindergarten next year.

Fun In Stanley

2009-09-19T14:21:00.004-06:00

When Randy and Sally were here in September. We took a day trip up to Stanley, ID. Here is Brandon and Alyssa by Redfish lake.

The whole group. I love the sawtooth mountians!!

One of the locals told us of a place where the boys could catch a fish on every cast. They were right!! The boys had tons of fun catching fish.

We cooked some hotdogs and smores, minus the graham crackers (my fault).

We had a lot of fun and scouted out lots of campgrounds for next summer!!

Yellowstone Park

2009-08-20T15:36:00.008-06:00

We had a great time in Yellowstone Park, camping with my parents. They are pro Yellowstone guides and campers!! Thanks mom and dad for a great time. Old Faithful our first stop.

This lake Randy really wanted to scuba dive in it. It was so clear and blue.

We hiked up to sapphire falls. Alyssa loved the backpack.

The same falls

Overlooking some mud pots and hot springs

Buffalo on the side of the road.

The canyon of Yellowstone. The sides of the canyon were really yellow stone.

These were the lower falls. We went on a hike down to the falls and this was the overlook. It was awesome. The picture doesn't do it justice. It is really high!

We got a picture of the welcome to Yellowstone park sign as we were leaving. FUN!!!! Lets do it again next year who wants to come?

Brandons 9th Birthday

2009-08-16T17:27:00.004-06:00

Brandon had a fun 9th birthday. It was a little bit cold so we went bowling for his birthday and had dinner with everyone at my parents house. He had a football cake. He got some new golf clubs and some balls and a golf glove. He also got some legos, a ds game, a badmitten game, battleship and domino's game and of course some money.

the cousins Harmon, Wyatt, Emma, Tyler, Brandon, Alyssa, Justin, Sarah, Adam, Issac, Shae and Jill are in the background

The Swimming Hole

2009-08-16T16:31:00.004-06:00

When we were in Wyoming one afternoon we went over to the swimming hole in Auburn close to my parents house. When we were growing up we would go the to "swimming hole" on the warm summer evenings. My sisters and brother and kids and my mom had been playing on the rope swing a couple of days earlier and told us how much fun it had been so we thought we would try it. When we got there my sister Candace said wow it is much colder than it was yesterday. Lucky Us! We all had to try out the robe swing but Justin and Randy were the only ones daring enough to let go and drop in the freezing water. When I swung around the second time I couldn't get back to the shore so against my will I had to drop off.

2009-07-25T20:51:00.002-06:00

We had such a great time on our vacation this June to see Randy's family and spend a week together at a condo at Panama City Beach. It was great we could all be together and the kids loved playing with their cousins and Randy and I loved the relaxation of a vacation. Randy got to go fishing a couple of times and Jen Mom and I took the kids to wild adventures park one day.

Our last snow storm the boys enjoyed riding behind the truck on the new tube they got for Christmas from Aunt Petey and Uncle Buzz. We haven't seen snow for a while but hopefully we will get some soon.

We also wanted to make a snowman but the snow wasn't very good for that so we enjoyed a snowball fight instead.

My 33 birthday! Ryan suprised us by watching the boys so Randy could take Alyssa and I out to dinner. My friend Jenny brought over flowers and cupcakes which worked great for the candles. I got a kick out of Justin using his math skills when he was trying to figure out how many candles we would have to put in each cupcake to equal 33.

Decorating a gingerbread house for family home evening. Everyone did such a good job I wanted to look at it for a few days but the boys all wanted to eat it right then, especially Randy! It did make it a little while.

The boys have been asking about their santa hats GG gave them a few years ago and when we got the Christmas decorations out that's the first thing they wanted.

Putting up the train. Another fun thing for the boys after we decorate the tree.

Tyler and I putting up the lights. I'm pretty picky about the lights so I think Randy gave up on helping me but he did help me on the top. I couldn't reach even with a chair.

We went in hunt for the annual Christmas tree. It was raining but we had a great time. We don't have a picture of the tree because when we finally found one it was getting dark and all the kids and I were in the truck warming up after being soaked. Randy did find us a great tree!

Some pictures of Alyssa playing on her tummy!

Brandon was a star student in his class this month for being responsible. Way to go Brandon!

Brandon played in the playoffs for his flag football team. They made it all the way to the end and won the championship. It was pretty exciting and a lot of fun. Brandon played reciever most of the time and really gained some confidence throughout the season and learned so much. He had the most fun when he would catch a pass and run for a touchdown.

Brandon recieving his first place metal!

Thanks to my aunts and uncle for my new high chair. Don't I look so grown up?

Ally's first attempt at some rice cereal. After a couple of bites she really does like it now.

Brandon had fun swimming but I think his favorite was finding shells and building sand castles
