San Diego Trip & Football Game

This last weekend we went to San Diego for a Cross Country meet. We were able to go watch Sherod run, go to Belmont Park, and also hang out on mission beach for a few days! We had a lot of fun, and Clate actually liked the beach this time:) Sherod the stud winning the race and a new pair of kicks!

Cross dressing at 5 months...thanks April!

We attended the first football game of the season. This was Clates first experience in a big rowdy crowd...he would start crying everytime the cowd cheered. It was so sad seeing his little face when he was scared.

The Tank

I just wanted to add a few pictures of the little tank...he is getting so big!

This is the face he tends to make when you are trying to get a picture...I think its hilarious!

Best Buds!!

Look at his chubby buns and thighs!

Don't let his cute face fool you...he can and will throw tantrums!

Yes...CRACK is back!

Two peas in a pod!

He loves the jumperoo!

Summer Fun

This summer we were able to do a lot of fun things. We kicked off the summer by celebrating Marc's big 25th birthday. We BBQ'd at his parents and had homeade ice cream. MMM... MMM... good:)

That same day Aunt Nancy and Sky flew in and she treated us to a couple of staycations. Uncle Tom also came and spent soem time with us. We first went to a Resort in Scottsdale that had a fun waterpark. We spent most of the time out at the water park. We all seemed to enjoy the Lazy River...its very relaxing floating around on a big tube. One of my favorite things was the water slide, one day I got a bit too carried away and completely brusied my tailbone trying to beat my brothers down the slide. Ya, I pretty much felt like a dork...but I did go freakin' fast that time. The park had a mini golfing course and Marc was very proud of himself when he beat me and my bro's. I really enjoyed this trip Aunt Nancy is one of the funniest people I know I loved being able to spend time with her and also getting to hang out with Sky she was fun to be around.

After we spent a few days in Scottsdale we all went up to Christopher Creek and stayed in a cabin. One day we went and repaired Grandma and Grandpa Teach's markers up by the hatchery. We enjoyed the much cooler weather and the prettier scenery. We had fun with Aunt Nancy and Sky and we hope to get to go visit them in Florida!

This summer we also had a family Reunion we went to up at the Cabin. It was for Grandma Lemieux and her brothers. It was exciting to get to meet some other relatives for the first time, as well as hang out with all of Marcus's family, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I think one of our favorite parts of the reunion was the delicious homemade root beer, it was so tasty!

After the reunion we went and visited my Great-Grandma Helen in Payson it was fun getting to see her and I think she enjoyed meeting Clate for the first time. For some reason Grandma Helen has been convinced that Clate was a girl even before he was born. She would always tell my cousin that she was so happy I was having a girl and naming it after her. We would tell her over and over that it was a boy...even after we went and visited her and told her he was definitely a boy she continually called him a her. It was really funny, she told us when "she" (meaning Clate) gets older we need to put fake eyelashes on him beacsuse "she" has such pretty eyes. Grandma Helen kept calling Clate a little princess...we tried to correct her but she wouldn't listen...I guess that happens when you're 93.

This year for the 4th we were very sad we had to celebrate it in the valley...thanks to Tyler trying to make some money for his family we didn't get to go to blanding:( We did still hang out with the whole crew. We BBQ'd at my parents, played some games, and tried to watch fireworks (sorry Lace it didn't work out).

Later in July, we took a family vaca with Marc's family, we went to, New Port beach. We stayed in a sweet condo close to the beach. We had fun on the beach when Clate stayed with his Grandma and Grandpa...we'll just say he pretty much hated the beach...maybe next year he'll like it a bit more. All of us girls had a fun time shopping and hanging out on the beach, and the boys had fun boogie boarding and eating:) I must say that I think my favorite part of the trip was listening to Jackson sing Old McDonald had a Farm...it's so funny...I wish I would have remembered my camera and could have filmed it. I'll try to get some recordings of it...it is so funny! I also enjoyed taking family pictures the guy that took them was so cute...and it was funny watching us all get soaked by the waves and smile for pictures at the same time. Thanks Lemieux's for the trip we had a great time!

NO PICS I HAD PINK EYE

The summer ended with me trying to get my preschool up and running. I have to thanks my parents and especially Sherod for letting me take up another room in there house so I could do preschool. I finally got the room ready and preschool is now up and running!!

The Rollover!!

Alright out little man can rollover!! We had a real hard time recording...we only had enough memory space for 12 seconds. Sometimes he would roll so fast we couldn't get it, and other times he would just lie there staring at us and talking to us. After like 20 minutes this is the best footage we could get...ha ha

A Whole Lotta Catchin' Up!

Well its been a while since I have blogged, so I have a lot to catch up on. At the beginning of last week our little man Clate went and saw the Dr. and we found out he has bronchialitis. He just sounds so stuffy all the time, we now call him SNORT. He is constantly making snorting sounds!Now we are doing breathing treatments with him three times a day...which is better than at first when we had to do them every 4 hours. So he is getting a little better each day. I can't wait until he is feeling 100% better.

We have been doing a lot of tummy time lately. The video and picture were taken last week. Each day he is doing better and better at holding his head up. Hadlee thinks she has to be right next to Clate all the time. She doesn't quite realize that she can't lay on top of him, so she gets a little mad after I continually move her. This video is funny beacuse Hadlee's "little" head ends up stealing the show!

In the last week we were also able to take trip up to the cabin. It was alot of fun hanging out with friends and family! We played lots of cards...which at times got a little crazy when the two pregnant ladies got a little angry...a few tantrums were thrown (blame it on the hormones)! In the end we are all friends! I only have pictures of us and the Ivins...the Sagers were sleeping when we took the picture, Michelle got a little sick the morning we were taking pictures. While at the cabin Clate went on his first fishing trip and I forgot to take a stinking picture. I'll have to get one next time. We had alot fo fun and we can't wait to go back to the cabin and get out of this awful heat!

The Three of us!

Us and the Ivins

Last Thursday Kari and I had the best time at Taylor Swifts Concert! We saw a newer group Gloriana sing, then Kelley Pickler, and then the amazing Taylor Swift. It was seriously the best concert I have been too! We had really good seats like twenty rows from the stage, and we were able to walk up pretty close to the stage and get some good pictures. During the middle of Taylor's performance she walked down the isle right next to us, and Kari being the creeper that she can be...squeezed Taylor's arm as she walked by. At the end of the concert Kari said... "that seriously changed my life!" Ha Ha. We had such a great time and if she ever comes back you better belive we'll be back:)

Kari and I at the concert!


This is Taylor saying "I heart you!" to Kari...I guess she liked the arm squeeze!

Trip and Hadlee Shakin' It

This weekend we went up to Round Valley to see little Layne be blessed. It was fun to get to see the Davis and Nicoll families...we sure miss them. I can't believe I forgot to get a picture of Layne and Clate!! That was a picture I really wanted:( I guess now Clate and I will have to take a trip to visit Aunt Chelsee!!

Clate was able to meet his Great Aunt Mary Lou for the first time, and got to see his Great Grandma Glo again. I took some pictures of Clate in his sunday clothes. He looked so cute, such a handsome little man!

Alright this is a video of Aunt Hadlee dancing. Anytime she hears music she just starts Shakin' it. She is dancing to her favorite song Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas. I think its the cutest thing...I hope you enjoy her moves!! Kari is convinced Hadlee knows the different beats of the song and changes her moves according to that beat:)

Daddy bought me this hat!

Saturday Clate turned one month old...man how time flies! We finally got batteries for Hadlee's bouncer and this is Clates favorite chair...little does he know its pink!

One month bath!

Poor boy has to use a pink bouncer!

On Sunday we were able to bless Clate. I was so nervous that his blessing outfit was going to be too big...well lets just say he ended up wearing man capris. Although his pants were a little short he still looked darn cute...kind of like a little old man:) We had a lot of fun with all of our friends and family that came, thanks for the support!

Clate wasn't being very photogenic, but this pic shows the man capris!
