Grandma and Grandpa Blacks Visit

Grandma & Grandpa Blacks Visit

I was told not to worry about moving away from family - if you have their grandbaby they would come to visit the grandkids and sure enough it wasn't long before Grandma & Grandpa were missing their little grandson. Although we had several things planned for when they came for the weekend, unfortunately Doug had to work all weekend and we didnt do as much. But they did love on Stetson from sun up to sun down. Grandpa made him a "special" plastic bottle that was crinkled just right to make noises for Stetson. We did go and look around town and went shopping and then to dinner at Stockman's. We ordered dessert and Grandma about died when she saw how big it was. She claims they used a whole shortcake, 1 lb. of strawberries, a gallon of ice cream and a tub of whipping cream.

His special toy that Grandpa made hime. ;)
He played and played until he crashed on Grandma.
Good Morning Grandpa

Fishing

The guys went fishing almost every morning and every night. Some times they came back empty handed other times with enough fish to feed everyone and it was sure good.

The twins went exploring the mountain side.

Cabin Trip 08

The Black's Family rent a cabin each year for about a week. This year we choose Brian Head which is by Cedar City. The cabin was big, the mountains were beautiful, the food was delicous and the family time unforgetable. We have fun on day trips around the area or just hanging out at the cabin all day in our pajamas playing games.

Beautiful views and Beautiful family.

Eating

Stetson's Feeding

My baby is growing up all to fast. He loves his baby food. When I first started him on baby food, he refused to eat anything else, but he likes a bottle to cuddle up for a nap. He knows when its coming and he gets so excited. His hands shake and he screams.

Hatch Reunion

Hatch Reunion 08
We went to our annual Hatch Reunion in Bryce Canyon in July. It was so good to see everyone. Our family was in charge this year so there wasn't as much playing, but we still had a good time.

Doug is my hard working man. He worked hard all week and then drove down, set up camp and crashed.
Branson and his friend Weston went to get fire wood and Branson had a run in with the tree as he fell down it, but he had several doctors at his aid.

Stetson was so excited with everything and everyone there that he wouldn't take a nap and would stay up until mid'night. But finally he fell asleep in grandpa's arms.

The boys went swimming at the lake, the girls were smarter than that knowing how cold it was. They had alot of fun. Doug was on the swim team in high school and convinced the guys to swim across the lake. They made it half way and everyone ditched him out in the middle.

Going to Ruby's gift shop is always fun to look around. We found a saddle just the right size for Stetson, but he didnt seem to like it.

Parade of Homes

Parade of Homes
Danica, Stetson and I went to the Parade of Homes and had tons of fun. Stetson was quite the trooper going in and out and in and out of the car all day, but he was such a cute boy. We took a ton of pictures for ideas of how to decorate our homes one day. Here are some of my favorites.

Yellow was a big color and this was my favorite room- I love the window benches and the stripes on the wall.

There was a lot of shelving in the rooms with decor.
Most of the kitchens had the tile on the wall in between the cupboards and counter tops.

There's my happy baby.

I liked the hutch and the coloring in this room.


I loved this door.

I like the benches and shelving in the mud rooms.
This was my absolute favorite bed. I really like the brown and green.
" A chair just my size!" (notice the drool, he's teething :)
Towel decoration is a cute, simply, decoration and one of Danica's favorite.

Movin' Time

You Find Out Who Your Friends Are

UPDATE: Doug was offered a job with Newfield in Myton, UT which is by Roosevelt/Vernal area. He is a hard worker and loves his job. We have been house hunting since he received his job in May and will hopefully be in a home soon.

When it came time to move, there was more people than I knew what to do with that saw us moving and came to help. It was such a big help for me especially since Doug was already moved and working so he helped when he could on the weekends. But it definatelty wasn't all work, there was fun and food which resulted in a big mess. Our lil' helpers found their way to the pantry and some how a hole got in the powdered sugar and our buddy Cash thought it was hilarious to hit the bag making it spray out towards you. With the help of Doug the flour bucket was poured all down him. :)
