Ahh Where does time go? Macee is in first grade and she couldn't be more excited. That girl loves school so much, we just hope it stays like that. Her teacher is Mrs. Payne. Mrs. Payne is actually a friend of my mother in laws. She usually teaches 2nd grade, but because of the increase of kids she moved down to help 1st grade this year. Hopefully next year she will move back to 2nd grade. We LOVE her!! Macee actually went to the first day and was supposed to have a different teacher and Mrs. Payne stopped her and told her she was in her class. In her class they do a system that when you are on good behavior or help with something you get a coin. Well Macee had done really well and told me that she really wanted a Barbie that was in the "store". I told Mace to save until she had enough coins and to not spend her coins on silly things. Well 3 weeks into school she had enough to by the Barbie. The other kids in her class were dying that she got the Barbie, they had been buying little things every week and not saving. Macee was super proud of her accomplishment. We are proud too Mace!!

Most days I feel like I'm still a teenager not almost 30!! ugh!! So depressing to think about!! lol Well my sweet little girl decided that she wanted a party at our house this year which was a great idea other than our house isn't very big!! Luckily the weather was pretty decent so we could be both in and out and we weren't all squished inside. She got so much fun stuff from her friends and family. Most of her stuff was Hello Kitty and she got lots of books. She is quite the little reader these days so it is always nice to have a few new books!! Thanks to everyone that made her feel so special with all the "Happy Birthdays" between Facebook and phone calls she felt loved to say the least!! Happy Birthday Moo Moo we couldn't be more proud of the little woman you are becoming!!

We were so busy I'm not even sure if we had a chance to sleep. We startd out by going to the farmers market in Idaho falls where Quentins dad has a business that does produce and we went and suprised him. After we walked around with our friends Amber and George and their 2 kiddos we went to lunch and then did some shopping. Later that evening we went to Amber's parents house kind of on a whim and the kids played in the water. Saturday night we watched the MMA fights at my parents house and then went home to rest for a few hours. Sunday we went swimming with our friends Cliff and Trudi and Trudi's boys Kai and Kaleo. We all got some color but not too bad! We woke up early on Monday to go fishing with Cliff and Trudi and the kids. We spent lots of time out in the sun and decided to go home after the guys caught 7 fish. We went back to our house and got things ready for a big BBQ and fireworks that night. We had such a great time and enjoy spending quality time with all of our friends! I hope we get to do some more fun stuff outside this summer.Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912037368103163258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114163628159658372.post-27800565359535322002011-07-05T20:27:00.001-06:002011-07-14T14:57:45.713-06:00fourth of july weekend!!Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912037368103163258noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114163628159658372.post-88715041420572362192011-05-09T13:20:00.003-06:002011-05-09T13:47:15.424-06:00Baby Animals<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fltWh4xCe2Q/TchCHGwTdgI/AAAAAAAABTI/qds3c86JEAQ/s1600/IMG_5138.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fltWh4xCe2Q/TchCHGwTdgI/AAAAAAAABTI/qds3c86JEAQ/s320/IMG_5138.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604802426102314498" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ScT6e3iugWc/TchCHl1RShI/AAAAAAAABTQ/5pUeulLj82k/s1600/IMG_5129.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ScT6e3iugWc/TchCHl1RShI/AAAAAAAABTQ/5pUeulLj82k/s320/IMG_5129.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604802434444642834" border="0" /></a>Milking the cow!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CMn6FBdnUis/Tcg_57NbsnI/AAAAAAAABS4/edyASrK0Ha0/s1600/IMG_5123.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CMn6FBdnUis/Tcg_57NbsnI/AAAAAAAABS4/edyASrK0Ha0/s320/IMG_5123.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604800000641708658" border="0" /></a>Running around the Maze!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pjYNdAW22AA/Tcg_5tF1d4I/AAAAAAAABSw/X0Q8GBuWeQY/s1600/IMG_5117.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pjYNdAW22AA/Tcg_5tF1d4I/AAAAAAAABSw/X0Q8GBuWeQY/s320/IMG_5117.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604799996851746690" border="0" /></a>My little animal lover.

Race kept telling everyone that we were going to uncle Kendalls house. haha Both of my kids love animals. I like them, but at other peoples houses! There was bunnies, calves, chicks, snakes, horses, ok I can't remember what else, but the kiddos had a great time. It makes me miss helping my Grandpa on the farm when I was younger. I would give almost anything to help him feed them one more time! No Kendall this does not mean that since you have Grandpas farm I want to come help with chores!! hahaTarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912037368103163258noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114163628159658372.post-33530376775227281422011-05-09T13:00:00.002-06:002011-05-09T13:11:10.462-06:00Bowling<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_M9MZW0LJWQ/Tcg7CpG_ufI/AAAAAAAABSQ/NWUf1av8Ya8/s1600/IMG_5109.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_M9MZW0LJWQ/Tcg7CpG_ufI/AAAAAAAABSQ/NWUf1av8Ya8/s320/IMG_5109.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604794652843555314" border="0" /></a>Trophy, Medal, and her 20 free games!!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FMrw__BK6dk/Tcg7CY2xivI/AAAAAAAABSI/H_KSE1mWLn0/s1600/IMG_5107.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FMrw__BK6dk/Tcg7CY2xivI/AAAAAAAABSI/H_KSE1mWLn0/s320/IMG_5107.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604794648480549618" border="0" /></a>Her moves!! haha<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vQNFUJn4dv0/Tcg7CPc7ixI/AAAAAAAABSA/VLEdKlqUjXA/s1600/IMG_5101.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vQNFUJn4dv0/Tcg7CPc7ixI/AAAAAAAABSA/VLEdKlqUjXA/s320/IMG_5101.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604794645956234002" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hJwTFGt3LDA/Tcg7C2aeA2I/AAAAAAAABSY/lYToSFKKjtk/s1600/IMG_5102.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hJwTFGt3LDA/Tcg7C2aeA2I/AAAAAAAABSY/lYToSFKKjtk/s320/IMG_5102.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604794656414892898" border="0" /></a>This is Connor....he was her team mate this year!

I can't remember her average, but it was in the 70's. Her league had one game and they used bumpers. Hopefully nest year she will be good enough to bowl the bigger league, but they don't use bumpers.

We had lots of friends and family there to celebrate with him. He loves the bowling alley so we thought we would go to Tough Guys Lanes!! Everyone had a great time bowling it was a first for alot of the kids. Poor Race had been sick for a week by that time so he wasn't as perky as usual!! I told him that when he turned 3 he had to start wearing big boy underwear. He wasn't having that at all. I tried for a couple of days to have him wear underwear and he would just pee and not even care!! So I guess we will potty train him when he goes to school!! hahaha<br /></div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912037368103163258noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114163628159658372.post-32862087731031903932011-02-01T13:32:00.003-07:002011-02-01T13:54:54.726-07:00Macees Birthday<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TUhwvGb-IiI/AAAAAAAABPI/_bmt4EBKqAI/s1600/basketball%2B2010%2B193.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TUhwvGb-IiI/AAAAAAAABPI/_bmt4EBKqAI/s320/basketball%2B2010%2B193.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568824893727711778" border="0" /></a>Eyes closed that is her new thing!!<br />It makes me crazy because I never know until I get home!!

I know Macee turned 6 in October, but atleast I'm getting some pictures up for you to enjoy!! lol We told Macee this year that she could either have a "big party" or she could have presents and friends at our house. She obviously chose wisely because she didn't even know we didn't get her much!! She received lots and lots of gifts from her friends and family that came to the party!! She had such a fun time with all the kids running around and hardly eating anything!! She is so spoiled!! I can't think of a better way to spend your 6th birthday then at Outer Limits!! The theme was going to be zebra and hot pink, but she changed it right before I made the invites to pirates and pink!! What a wild woman!!Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912037368103163258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114163628159658372.post-24375303857662841892011-01-19T15:18:00.002-07:002011-01-19T15:42:11.707-07:00Ugh!! What a way to start out a new blog post!! lol I dont have any pictures to upload......again!! It is not because I haven't taken any because believe me I've taken a couple hundred of my cousins playing basketball. We have been kinda lazy and I think in a "winter slump". Well at least I know I have! I promised myself that I wouldn't let myself this year and here I am. Ok so enough of the depressed Tara! I have been cleaning out my closet today and can I just tell you how crazy I've let it get overflowing in scrapbooking supplies. Holy moly it is possible that I could open my own store soon!! haha The worst part is that I can't even remember the last time I scrapbooked!! uh oh yeah it makes me sick to think how much money I have invested and not been using my investment. I think that I need to change that really quick!!<br /><br />For Christmas we got a Kinect and can I tell you what a good bargaining tool it is with my kids. i can get them to a lot of things they would not regularly do just by saying the word "KINECT" hahaha I love it. Actually Macee is playing right now because she let me do her hair cute and get dressed!! hahaha It's the simple things in life that make me happy today!! Race is pretty entertaining to watch as well. They really suprised me at how well they do on it. I'm hoping that the Easter Bunny will bring them a new game though. The kids are getting so big and getting smarter every day. Race is quite the talker he repeats EVERYTHING!! It's gotten me in trouble a couple times. I forget that I have a parrot on my shoulder! lol He is still hatin the thought of potty training and quite frankly so am I. He loves to hide right after I ask him if he want "big boy undies" on and then he cries forever when I try to put on underwear. Gotta love him!! Macee is excelling in school right on target. She has started reading a little bit I'm not sure she really knows what she's talking about but it is cute to hear her sound things out. She loves to go bowling on her league, but her average is slowly going down. I'm thinking it is a combo of her kinda being bored and her dad trying to teach her. He has a hard time not yelling at her because he forgets that she's just learning and he already knows how to bowl.<br /><br />As for Quentin and myself not much is going on. Quentin just had some vacation time to burn so he was home with the kids and I for a week. It went alot better than I thought it would. I thought he would be nagging the whole time, but he was a lot more patient than I thought. I was however ready for Monday to come so he was out of my hair. I mean that in a loving way!! He is still bowling his league and I think he is having a lot of fun because one of his friends gets to bowl with him every other week. I have just been working and being mom. I am trying to figure out how to do a budget because I would really like to go on a vacation sometime in the near future. We'll just have to see how that goes. Hopefully next time I blog I'll have something fun to say and some great pictures, but for now this is what ya get!!Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912037368103163258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114163628159658372.post-18984295927364886782010-12-29T15:42:00.004-07:002010-12-29T15:59:15.381-07:00The big 3!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TRu8QZBbYYI/AAAAAAAABN0/Rn3Hzg5yJPg/s1600/kids%2Bfall%2B2010%2B042.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TRu8QZBbYYI/AAAAAAAABN0/Rn3Hzg5yJPg/s320/kids%2Bfall%2B2010%2B042.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556241555072442754" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TRu8QJIycFI/AAAAAAAABNs/3U-fz-wDflE/s1600/kids%2Bfall%2B2010%2B035.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TRu8QJIycFI/AAAAAAAABNs/3U-fz-wDflE/s320/kids%2Bfall%2B2010%2B035.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556241550808346706" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TRu8PpMh6UI/AAAAAAAABNk/Spejv2T2COQ/s1600/kids%2Bfall%2B2010%2B015.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TRu8PpMh6UI/AAAAAAAABNk/Spejv2T2COQ/s320/kids%2Bfall%2B2010%2B015.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556241542234106178" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TRu6jzLobpI/AAAAAAAABNc/iGBR4--1B-s/s1600/IMG00016.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TRu6jzLobpI/AAAAAAAABNc/iGBR4--1B-s/s320/IMG00016.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556239689488821906" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TRu6jSYUQNI/AAAAAAAABNU/1IG5HmwwuBY/s1600/IMG00020.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TRu6jSYUQNI/AAAAAAAABNU/1IG5HmwwuBY/s320/IMG00020.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556239680683655378" border="0" /></a><br />Man my little Race dog is getting so big and naughty!! We always joke that he's lucky he's so cute because I would sell him!! Actually most days I would give him away, but he sure knows how to melt your heart too!! I love when he comes and puts his chubby little arms around my neck and tells me how much he loves me then gives me a big kiss!! He is such a fun little boy and he sure keeps us on our toes!! Oh and one more thing if anyone wants to potty train him you will be seriously blessed in heaven!! He tells me ''mom I can't like big boy underwear"!! ugh little stinker well I can't like changing butts!!Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912037368103163258noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114163628159658372.post-63469062415746288852010-12-24T12:47:00.001-07:002010-12-24T12:47:47.848-07:00Twas the Night Before Christmas<b><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;color:#808080;">Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house<br />Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.<br />The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,<br />In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.<br /><br />The children were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.<br />And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,<br />Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.<br /><br />When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,<br />I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />Away to the window I flew like a flash,<br />Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.<br /><br />The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow<br />Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.<br />When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer.<br /><br />With a little old driver, so lively and quick,<br />I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.<br />More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,<br />And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!<br /><br />"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!<br />On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!<br />To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!<br />Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"<br /><br />As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,<br />When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.<br />So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,<br />With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.<br /><br />And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof<br />The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.<br />As I drew in my head, and was turning around,<br />Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.<br /><br />He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,<br />And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.<br />A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,<br />And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.<br /><br />His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!<br />His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!<br />His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,<br />And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.<br /><br />The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,<br />And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.<br />He had a broad face and a little round belly,<br />That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!<br /><br />He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,<br />And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!<br />A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,<br />Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.<br /><br />He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,<br />And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.<br />And laying his finger aside of his nose,<br />And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!<br /><br />He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,<br />And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.<br />But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,<br />"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"</span></b>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912037368103163258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114163628159658372.post-78383828289224474102010-12-06T08:58:00.006-07:002010-12-06T10:22:44.578-07:00WINDY CITY CHICAGO CHI-TOWN<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0aSbqmbpI/AAAAAAAABNE/vGWZhHqxwQA/s1600/chicago%2B133.jpg"><br /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0O-U9Vd-I/AAAAAAAABM8/4aLjNqhEXqE/s1600/chicago%2B010.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0O-U9Vd-I/AAAAAAAABM8/4aLjNqhEXqE/s320/chicago%2B010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547606779930965986" border="0" /></a>I was so lucky to be able to go to Chicago with my Mom my Aunt Stephanie and my brother Tosh. Well ok Tosh lives there so that is the reason we went. I couldn't have traveled with better people!! I hadn't been on a plane in almost 15 years. I was a nervous wreck and kept losing my stomach with the turbulance (didn't puke!!) My mom and Steph kept teasing me. I did alot better on the the way home though and I decided that I want to travel more maybe that will encourage me to get 'stuff' paid off. Ok back to the vacation.......we ended up buying a Chicago Go Card which gets you into 30 attractions for 3 days (they have them in lots of big cities). It ended up being alot cheaper than if we paid for each attraction on it's own and it got you to the front of the line. It saved us alot of time waiting at the Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum.<br /></div><div id="recover"><span id="spellcheckMessage"><br /></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0OaQmKX8I/AAAAAAAABMk/UjyY-h7O6Js/s1600/chicago%2B048.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0OaQmKX8I/AAAAAAAABMk/UjyY-h7O6Js/s320/chicago%2B048.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547606160284737474" border="0" /></a>Here we are with the view of Chicago buildings behind us.<br />We were right outside of Shedd Aquarium.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0OZkGWCdI/AAAAAAAABMc/AK22W0TCfVA/s1600/chicago%2B051.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0OZkGWCdI/AAAAAAAABMc/AK22W0TCfVA/s320/chicago%2B051.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547606148340124114" border="0" /></a>We really wanted to try lots of 'different' foods.

They are on the Food network show as well. They make all there sausages ans dogs there. They have lots of different kinds that were pretty fun to try. I didn't take any pictures of them because Tosh kept telling me I looked like a Japanese Tourist. In my defense I only took 170 pictures in 5 days that's not that bad.......right?? hahaha<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">At the Field Museum they had the "Man Eaters of Tsavo" they are the lions form the movie The Ghost in the Darkness.

It was part of our pass so We got to walk right on and relax as we heard some of the history of the buildings in Chicago. There are so many cool buildings with detail beyond imagine.

Most of the people from Chicago still call it the Sears Tower however. It was like 100+ stories high and it sways up to 3 feet I believe I guess I should have listened better on our cruise!! oops!! They have a place where you can stand out over the city on a clear platform it was pretty intense.<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0MP6UvV6I/AAAAAAAABL0/ysaz26qYtTs/s1600/chicago%2B097.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0MP6UvV6I/AAAAAAAABL0/ysaz26qYtTs/s320/chicago%2B097.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547603783484135330" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0MPjryU9I/AAAAAAAABLs/V5zCqVDDz9U/s1600/chicago%2B098.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0MPjryU9I/AAAAAAAABLs/V5zCqVDDz9U/s320/chicago%2B098.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547603777406784466" border="0" /></a>The first thing we ate in Chicago was........Chicago Stuffed Pizza from Giordanos.

Although I missed my babies and hubby at home it was so nice to get away for a few days!! I seriously can't wait to win my millions in the lottery (going to start playing now) so I can go back!! Thanks tosh for letting me be a tourist with you even though you kept yelling at me for popping my gum and taking lots of pictures!! Can't wait to go back!!<br /></div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912037368103163258noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114163628159658372.post-90542327173035843812010-12-06T08:32:00.004-07:002010-12-06T08:50:59.637-07:00Fishing<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0ElfUnohI/AAAAAAAABK8/GNBFDa2AOjQ/s1600/100_2566.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0ElfUnohI/AAAAAAAABK8/GNBFDa2AOjQ/s320/100_2566.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547595358099972626" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0EkQ3X0CI/AAAAAAAABK0/z21D0_zXPQ0/s1600/100_2554.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0EkQ3X0CI/AAAAAAAABK0/z21D0_zXPQ0/s320/100_2554.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547595337039335458" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0Ej_IA3xI/AAAAAAAABKs/ARXwzEHDPDo/s1600/100_2570.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0Ej_IA3xI/AAAAAAAABKs/ARXwzEHDPDo/s320/100_2570.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547595332277296914" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0EjtkK0qI/AAAAAAAABKk/PXy29OzYby8/s1600/100_2565.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0EjtkK0qI/AAAAAAAABKk/PXy29OzYby8/s320/100_2565.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547595327563551394" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0DL4_U2NI/AAAAAAAABKc/r5uOngEdoG8/s1600/100_2562.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0DL4_U2NI/AAAAAAAABKc/r5uOngEdoG8/s320/100_2562.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547593818801756370" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0DLa_mvnI/AAAAAAAABKU/FWPbM4mKQYI/s1600/100_2569.JPG"><span><span></span></span></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0DKxrHocI/AAAAAAAABKM/qN-ZDgt6WBw/s1600/100_2549.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0DKxrHocI/AAAAAAAABKM/qN-ZDgt6WBw/s320/100_2549.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547593799658086850" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0DKoZlYsI/AAAAAAAABKE/SmGYi1LH50s/s1600/100_2547.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0DKoZlYsI/AAAAAAAABKE/SmGYi1LH50s/s320/100_2547.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547593797168620226" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0DKNbVFTI/AAAAAAAABJ8/r5cF0oWbyzI/s1600/100_2546.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TP0DKNbVFTI/AAAAAAAABJ8/r5cF0oWbyzI/s320/100_2546.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547593789928183090" border="0" /></a>We had lots of fun outdoors this year. I couldn't remember if I posted these pictures already and I didn't want to hunt for them on here! I figured they were cute enough to post again anyway!! We went out to Burch Creek. the kids and I had been out there for the Fourth of July weekend with my family, but Quentin really wanted to go out there so loaded the kids and went on our way!! I don't have pictures of the fish but there we lots caught!! We also went to a lake for a family reunion with Quentin's side of the family. I'm pretty sure it was Lake Walcott!! Living in Idaho is so nice because we get to enjoy the outdoors!!Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912037368103163258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114163628159658372.post-60713805422551866362010-11-22T09:28:00.002-07:002010-11-22T09:51:06.504-07:00I've been found........Oh boy have we been busy!! Bowling on Saturdays and Thursdays, Quentin and I both working and Macee having after school activities for her family, and all the other errands and crap we have to do!! We finally got some snow here in Idaho and I couldn't be happier although I'm a little nervous because we are supposed to go to Utah (just Quentin and myself) to watch a Jazz game. If the roads stay bad then I guess we will have wasted $120, but I think we should be ok I'm sure Quentin will just drive the truck!!<br /><br />Macee got a haircut a cute little a-line and her hair looks so much better now! She is loving school so much and I really hope that she keeps up the good work! She has 2 boys fighting over her at school and I think she kinda likes it! haha We have been busy with after school activities. We had BINGO night a couple weeks ago and one of the boys that likes her was there and told her "Macee when they call out beautiful girl they are talking about you!" haha then he wanted to dance with her and kept telling her he loved her! (I think he was happy his competition wasn't there.) Then last week we had a reading night at school and they had different people from the community come and read books about their professions both kids loved it! Macee really loves reading with me and got a Pizza Hut Book It and tickets to ISU sporting events for reading so much in October.<br /><br />Race is WILD to say the least! He is quite the entertainment while Macee is at school. He loves to give me huge hugs and tells me "mom you my best friend ever" my heart melts everytime. I just hope he keeps loving me because I have a feeling he'll quit once he gets bigger! He loves to play with the dogs well I guess it's really more like terrorizing them! He is starting to play with the Fisher Price Little People and he has them talk to each other, it makes me laugh because it is so random!! haha Race still loves his cars, monster trucks, cycles, wheelers, and really anything with a motor.Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912037368103163258noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114163628159658372.post-36364577108144694052010-11-05T13:11:00.004-06:002010-11-05T13:21:13.731-06:00super cute!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TNRXaOjY4GI/AAAAAAAABJw/Foi9-_Lw3K8/s1600/fleece+legs2.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TNRXaOjY4GI/AAAAAAAABJw/Foi9-_Lw3K8/s320/fleece+legs2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536145950039924834" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://fromanigloo.blogspot.com/2010/11/warm-and-fuzzy-leg-warmers-tutorial.html">http://fromanigloo.blogspot.com/2010/11/warm-and-fuzzy-leg-warmers-tutorial.html</a><br /><br />I've been wanting to get a little more crafty lately and I thought this might be a cute and easy way to start!!

I went to one of my favorite spots in Pocatello and as always got some amazing pictures. It was a perfect day and everything just kinda fell into place. I only had a little while to go take pictures, but I knew if I waited I wouldn't get any fall leaves. (I enhanced them a little bit!!) Hope you enjoy!!Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912037368103163258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114163628159658372.post-61889151130258722982010-10-15T10:49:00.002-06:002010-10-15T11:02:38.976-06:00Still Alive!!Don't worry about us we are still alive. I have been busy with work and my kiddos and didn't want to take the time to upload pictures and all that jazz. I am getting ready for Macee's 6th birthday we are celebrating with a party at Outer Limits here in Poky! Macee started bowling a few weeks ago and is really liking it (I think Quentin likes it more)!! She has been pretty busy with school and homework and bossing Race around. Race has been busy getting out all the toys and blaming it on sissy even when she has been at school all day, that's a boy for ya!! He has enjoyed when sissy is at school cause he doesn't have to fight with her and gets whatever he wants most days!! He has just started sleeping in his own bed finally!! Quentin is bowling and is actually averaging above 200 again. Last year was not so good for him he struggled all year (it was the first year averaging under 200 since I met him almost 10 years ago.) He has stayed really busy with Coke and is still really liking it. i hate it because he doesn't get home until I have to leave for work. YUK!! Speaking of my work I have been working alot lately which is great since I wanted extra money for my trip to Chicago next week, but it's crazy shifts. Some days I'll work a graveyard then the following day i have to be at work at 6am. So I have been having a hard time sleeping. They are lucky I can function on little sleep because I'm a mom!! We can't wait for Halloween because the kids love it and because that means the HOLIDAYS are here!! yay!! I'm actually doing pretty good this year I haven't gotten out and Christmas CD's yet!! hahahahaTarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912037368103163258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114163628159658372.post-72693685845422590892010-09-14T10:30:00.003-06:002010-09-14T10:44:20.953-06:00FALL!!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TI-kftK_WYI/AAAAAAAABIY/233Aokg4YW0/s1600/fallTree.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TI-kftK_WYI/AAAAAAAABIY/233Aokg4YW0/s320/fallTree.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516808933160737154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TI-kffp2UWI/AAAAAAAABIQ/6taysGguDU0/s1600/Pumpkins.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 231px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TI-kffp2UWI/AAAAAAAABIQ/6taysGguDU0/s320/Pumpkins.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516808929532072290" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TI-kfJ-1aUI/AAAAAAAABII/gJ7yUe1xUGE/s1600/il_430xN.174040474.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 271px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sA8NeV1OAxM/TI-kfJ-1aUI/AAAAAAAABII/gJ7yUe1xUGE/s320/il_430xN.174040474.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516808923714513218" border="0" /></a>I love these hats!! I want one in each color!! Found it on Etsy.<br /><br /><br /></div>It's that time of year again and I'm so ready for it!! I love Fall it is by far my favorite time of year!! I get to start wearing clothes that normal people wear and not sweating profusely!! With that it also means its time for some new family pictures. Don't get me wrong I love pictures of my family, but I hate all pictures of me. Oh well!! I love hanging pictures of my family in my home that is what keeps me going most days!! I love that I can get out some hot apple cider and I can start thinking about Christmas. I LOVE LOVE LOVE FALL!!!!! It tis by far the best time of year. Don't get me wrong I like Spring too, but it seems as though we don't really get it here in Idaho anymore. I think all we get here during Spring is rainy days and I get super depressed. Summer is too hot unless I'm at the swimming pool and it could quite easily brake the bank!! So I welcome Fall with open arms and I get to start functioning like a regular person. Although I do loss my husband this time of year that is something I'm willing to do!! hahahaha I hate watching football on tv and that is one of his favorite things to do. I'll go watch them in real life because I can people watch with the best of them, I love to cheer real loud, and act crazy.

She inspires me to be a better person. We all have our trials and mine seem so small compared to hers, but she lives her life to the fullest and takes it one step at a time. She enjoys life. That is one of my new goals to try not to sweat the small stuff. You can find her story in the October 2010 Parents magazine. I read her blog so much I feel like she's my family. I feel like I could pick up the phone and carry on a conversation. I LOVE IT!!
