Sleepover!


After Andee's party yesterday Greyson and his BFF in the whole world decided to have a sleepover. Kaleb and Greyson have been "Best Buds" since we moved back here. We used to live across the street from his family in North Ogden and these 2 have really missed being that close. Needless to say it was so much fun! I have to say I really enjoy Kaleb and if you know me you know that it takes a pretty special kid for me to enjoy! Thanks for staying over Kaleb, Greyson & Andee had a blast! Heidi

Happy Birthday Andee girl!


Today was Andee's birthday party. Although she doesn't officially turn 5 until Monday, today was the day we celebrated with lots of friends and family! It was a hectic crazy day, I had to work until 12:00 and I foolishly scheduled her party at 2:00 so I think I bit off more than I could chew with this one. Thankfully Grandma & Grandpa stepped in to help me round up some last minute items and it was a success! Thanks Mom & Dad! Andee had a great time and so did all of the kids, it was VERY chaotic for a while but worth it for sure! Happy Birthday Andee! I can't believe 5 years have gone by. I love you Princess! Heidi

Snow Day!


Yesterday it started snowing and never stopped. I just thought I would post a few pictures of my house so that you can get a glimpse of what snow removal may have been like yesterday! Thanks to my awesome neighbors for bailing me out a few times too! I know that all my good friends in Great Falls are laughing right now and feeling no sympathy at all but give me a break guys, it's been 6 years since I left, I forgot about this @#!!^%! If I ever am able to leave my driveway again, I'm moving to Hawaii! Aloha!

The Beginning!

Well here we go, I am finally learning how to blog! This blog will follow the craziness I call my life with my 2 adorable children and my 6 insane animals! Yes I said 6, get back up on your chair. This begins with me, Heidi, my 7 year old son Greyson and my 5 year old daughter Andee. We are then followed (literally) by 4 dogs Toby, a 10 year old German Shorthair Pointer;Sage, a 10 year old mutt; Harlee, a 7 year old (special needs) German Shorthair Pointer; Oakley, a 5 year old Weimaraner; Vegas, a 2 year old cat and Baylee, a cat of unknown age. Yes it is craziness almost all the time but I do love it. On top of all of this I spend 12 hours a day with many more crazy animals as I am a vet tech at Burch Creek Animal Hospital. Greyson is in the 1st grade and Andee will be starting Kindergarten in the fall. I personally can't wait, school has proven to be the cheapest daycare I have found yet. We are living in Eden, Utah and it is so beautiful up here, plenty of room for the kids and dogs to play. I hope you enjoy following our adventure's, thanks to my good friend Codie Jo for turning me on to this blogging thing. Enjoy! Heidi

"OMG!" This pic is about a year old but I just love it! It totally captures her reaction EVERY time she see's a kitty!

Hungry Hungry Hippos!

Snack time, which includes carrots, apples or sugar cubes has on many occasions resulted in fights, biting ears, shoving siblings off the hill and down right temper tantrums!

"Day 628 of my captivity..... today I was fed some crusty form of dry kibble while they let the children squeeze me and kiss me and carry me around like an infant. I am currently planning my escape and retaliation. I cannot survive in this enviroment much longer!"

Cortney Woolsey, Miss High School Rodeo Utah

Cortney Woolsey, Miss High School Rodeo Utah
Cortney is in the family and she just won Miss High School Rodeo Utah and is now going on to compete in Nationals in New Mexico I think. Very expensive trip for her family so they had a benefit on Saturday to try and raise funds for her. Andee thought she was for sure a princess. Good Luck Cortney we will all be rooting for you!

Brett Earl Benefit

Brett Earl Benefit
Last month on the eve of Easter, Greyson's friend and classmate Taj lost his dad to a very sudden unexpected heart attack. Brett was 38 years old and left his wife and 4 children with no life insurance. It was very sad but the entire community came together to help raise funds for the family. A benefit was held at Powder Mountain with a silent auction, BBQ, bake sale and numerous other activities with 100% of the proceeds going to the Earls. My generous boss, Dr. Engleby donated funds for me to make some crafts to auction off and it went VERY well! Everything was sold and $10,000+ was raised for the family.

Sage in da' hood!

Sage in da' hood!
Poor Sage had all of his hair shaved off this week for summer and if you live around here then you know that summer is definitley not here! After a week of downpours and snow storms poor Sagers is freezing! So he's had to wear a jacket out and I think you can tell from the look on his face, he's humiliated! :)

Vegas has a new bed!

Vegas has a new bed!
This is the new bed of choice for Vegas, much to my protest she loves sleeping here! What's the big deal you ask? 14 feet up high. However if you have owned a cat then you know they do not care what you think and the more you try to persuade them not to behave this way, the more they do. Whatever Vegas!
