Happy St. Patrick's Day !!

So the puppies were groomed and had their checkups. This was the finished product. Zeus now weighs 63 lbs and Leyla is 59 lbs. Nick was so proud Zeusers weighed so much. He is going to be a big boy and he is not even 2 yet!

My Dirty 30 Birthday Party!!

Well I turned the Big 3-0 back in December so we had to celebrate. Shea came into town the week of my birthday too. We pretty much spent every second together. From dinner parties in Logan, Shopping and the Big bash at Poplar Street Pub in SlC to my Dads and birthday brunch at grandma's I think we had a little fun.

Shea and I . My sweet husband couldn't be there because of work but he surprised me the next day (my actual birthday)by coming home early. He also gave me a shopping spree for my birthday and Shea, Jade and I went crazy shopping. We also went through my closets and cleaned out the old and replaced them with new.

My cute friend TJ
My favorite brother Mike
Of course my girl J'anne

Amanda , Me and Teresa. I ended up knowing the owner of the bar from work so he was so sweet and had the band play happy birthday and he gave me a drink in this glowing martini glass. We all danced and sang. It was the best birthday ever!! Thanks to all who came, for the gifts and fun.

I promise to update soon I just haven't been in the mood.:)

Flaming Gorge 2009

This past August we had our annual Flaming Gorge trip. This year the Parry's were able to join us for a few of those days. Each year we go just gets better and better. It was so fun to have Natalee and Noah running around.

We had awesome food, jumped off bridges and cliffs. We fished roasted mallos and played corn hole. We were lucky enough to have great weather. We took so many pictures it was hard to choose which to post. I love pictures so once again enjoy them all.

Mike and Noah being crazy boys.



This is the one of my favorite pictures. Natalee and Noah could wait to fish. Here they are off the back of the boat with their papa catching some fishies.
There used to be a really fun rope swing of this cliff but it had been destroyed. The boys thought it would still be fun to jump off!!

Phil and his cute girl.

Natalee wanted a turn driving the boat too! These kiddos are so adorable.
Nick letting Noah drive the boat! He was an excellent driver.
This was the crazy softball game with a traveling trophy of some kind. Like all sports in Dutch John it was held in the field of weeds.
Nick for some reason was chosen to be the pitcher. I wanted to play first base but no one had a mitt for the south paw. It was quite an interesting and intense game. I can't wait to get to play next year.

The Olsen Family Vacation to Bear Lake!!

I don't think we had any fun in Bear Lake, do you???

I figured out how to make collages! Wahoo! Thanks Emily for reminding me about Picasa! I have used it before but forgot all about it!

Fourth of July Weekend Cont...

Hope you all had a great Fourth of July...

DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS!!! P.S. No humans were harmed during this photo-shoot!
J'Anne and I hadn't set off fireworks forever so we were having a blast. I made her get up and dance around the fire with me. Nick thought we were dorks.
Nick and I of course.
J'Anne and Nurel

This is J'Anne and I waiting for the sun to set. We both bought a bunch of fireworks; while we waited we were throwing snaps and lighting snakes on fire. Zeus wasn't quite sure what to think of the snaps.
