SUMMER FUN!!!!

We have had a lot of fun this Summer and

the best thing is--it is not over yet.

Starting out--Mitzy had her baptism and Becca wanted

to wear her white dress the Sunday after with Mitzy,

although these two are opposite in every way,

which makes it so they fight a lot.

The older they get the closer

and closer

and closer they become:)


A few days later, Bruce's brother Jame's and his
family came up from Texas to see us!
This is Jacob with James and Heidi's youngest
son Sam--what a cutie he is!!!!!

We went to the Main Street Splash Pad with them!
Jame's and Heidi's middle child Eliza is between
Rebecca and Sariah, she is a doll!

I think Jacob and Sariah are praying that the bad river won't come
again and wash us away!lol. Unsure what they are doing
here, but the picture was cute!

Sam was crawling through the river part of the splash pad,
he loved the water.

Charity is Jame's and Heidi's oldest girl and she is the spitting
image of Rebecca when she was her age--personality and all.
She has the same, hair, eyes, and body build as Rebecca when
she was younger.

My sister Connie called one day and said let's go
to Sand Hollow Reservoir. Okay I said--Bruce was at scout camp for
3 days so we went--we packed up all the camp chairs and brought some
treats and we had so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mitzy Eating snacks at Sand Hollow.

Kids trying their best to build a sand castle at Sand Hollow.

My Friend had a bunch of baby kittens and gave us one.

The kids taught it (Hissy Fit is it's name) how to use the doggy door.lol. Any way

Jake was playing trains with Hissy Fit and Jake went to bed

after about 1 hour. I think that Hissy Fit still wanted to play trains,

she went and layed on top of Jake's train tracks and fell asleep.

The next day I showed Jake the picture of the kitty sleeping on his

tracks, so he went and found the kitty and started playing trains again

with her. It was so cute, I thought what a good heart that my son has.

Jacob found a toy rubberband gun at a yard sale and loves it.

His daddy gave him the sun glasses. What a handsome boy!

We have some neighbors whom we call the Karn's family.

They have always been really nice to us, and they invited

us to their family reunion at Gunlock reservior. We had so

much fun!

They had a boat and a tube--the kids and Bruce went out on it.

The kids thought that the tube was fun until it tipped over,

then they didn't want to get on it anymore.

The water was a little bit cold.

Sariah hates the water--here is the story why.

When She was about 2 years old Bruce and I decided to take

the Family to the new Washington Recreation Center. Those of you

who have not been there--this huge bucket that holds aobut 500 gallons

of water dumps every so often. We did not know that and no bells and whistles

went off telling us that this did that. I took Sariah in my arms and we stood right under it, because I wanted to send her down the slide. If you do not know that 500 gallons of water

is going to dump on you---well---it hurts and it even scared me. Sariah screamed and to

this day when we go there I have a hard time keeping her or trying to get her to go in the water.

My mom got married to the guy who was her home

teacher when she lived in Moapa. He has about 6 dogs and 2 cats.

and best of all 4 of the dogs are weeinie dogs--which we love:)

Here is my mom, my four kids and the new "DAD/Grandpa:)

At the end of July we are heading to lagoon and then on to Idaho!

I will post pictures of that when we come back.

Mitzy's Baptism

I wasn't able to get a lot of pictures at her baptism,

as I am too crazy and they got mixed up with a few

things and Mitzy almost couldn't get baptized.

Luckily we got it all worked out and she is now baptized

and confirmed. We are happy she made this choice

and happy everything worked out.

Congrats Mitzy we love you.

First the Story:

April 2007 The Frank Bowler Family

welcomed 4 new bundles of joy. All

born in the same month and all to different families

the same month as Grandpa (Frank) Bowler's

Birthday. What a great Birthday gift

If you are wondering if we are related to them

The Bowler Family adopted our family into theirs.

Each year we take pictures of the "Quads" together

and here are the results for this year.

Sariah was done after 1 hour and started to get tired

this is one of my favorite pictures. She only sucks

her 2 middle fingers when she is tired.

A.J. was just a cutie pie. He loved having his pictures taken

this year. The past two years he cried, but he loved the camera this year.
All four. A.J., Celeste, Emma, and Sariah

I really like this one:)

Celeste is very mature. We think she came later

than she was supposed to. She was the first one

to talk and walk.

A.J. always has a smile what a cute little boy.

This is the only one of Sariah smiling,

she just didn't want to smile much.

Emma is very photogenic, what a beautiful girl.

Grandpa with his 4 birthday gifts.

Too long since post.

Lots of Different

Pictures

Sariah looking at the egg to see if her name is on it.

Lots of eggs with different items in them not just candy.


Sariah is 3 years old.
Sariah eating her birthday cake.

Sariah's Birthday is the same day as Bruce''s Dad's Birthday

So each year on Sunday General Conference we get together with

his parents and celebrate their birthdays together. Bruce's Dad likes

carrot cake and Sariah didn't really care so Carrot cake it was.

Sariah got a Princess and the Frog barbie. A baby doll

she can take in the bath with her. And His dad got some

socket organizers-3 wrapped individually.

Sariah and Granpa Briscoe.

We were watching General Conference and I walked out

of the room for a few minutes. When I walked back in

Bruce's Dad, Mom, and Bruce were all asleep. I think they

must have filled their tummy's to full. This was after lunch.

Sariah fell asleep like this in the chair.

Silly girl. I wish I could sleep anywhere like that.

Here is the Red neck electronic kid toy.

Bruce tied ropes to his riding lawn mower to the kids truck

and towed them around the yard. They thought that was

tons of fun.

Project almost complete

Here are the pictures of my flower garden in front of my house. Sorry it took so long to post but I had to buy more brick, and finding shade loving plants is not easy. The sun never hits there and no weeds grow there because there is no sun. Here are before pictures.--it's the spot under the three windows in front of my home.



BEFORE

AFTER

I still have to put some brick in a few places, but I have to have some cut first. And luckily we have a good friend who lives close by that will cut it for us tonight. Now I encourage all of you to get out and plant someflowers. Have fun--by the way next week should be beautiful and sunny and warm.

SPRING!

Spring is coming and guess what that means? Flowers and lots of them--I am re-doing the planter box in front of my house after it is done I will post pictures of before and after-- I have to head to the store and get more supplies. I will post before Sunday though that is for sure. We got rid of the ugly volcanic rock they put there and we are replacing them with flowers--they have to be shade loving though because the Sun hardly ever hits the spot where they will be--no weeds grow there because there is no Sun.

Bruce's Birthday and New Car

Bruce got some very nice speakers for the computer from me for his birthday.

The speakers are so nice that the sound system on the somputer sounds like the

sound system in the Family room ---we have surround sound in the family room.

Other gifts he received was Star Wars playing card from his brother, Star Trek

Books from his parents, also some other cards from friends and family.

I have to explain the cake. Bruce demanded he make his own birthday cake

this year. Yellow cake with chocolate frosting is his favorite. He made it and

I put chocolate frosting on it with sprinkles.

I hope you made a wish:)


This is supposed to be a "B" for Bruce but it didn't quite turn out
it looks like a # 8. Bruce is so sweet he told me he loved the cake.

For my birthday my honey got me the best Birthday Present ever.

A NEW CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer, and all I can say is that

The Good Lord is watching over me, because we got a good deal

on it.

We walk into Premier car and truck on Sunset Blvd here in St. George

and asked how much they wanted for this and what year. When he said it

was a 2006 with 40,000 miles on it we thought man there is no way we

can get this, then he said the price and our jaws dropped to the floor.

$13,000:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

So we test drove it and we fell in love. Black carpet, can't go wrong there

with kids. And Tan seats, can't go wrong there with kids either. I love it,

the kids love it, and my honey loves it. It is a Chevy and Bruce and I

love Chevy's. Since Obama is being nice to us this year and giving us double the

earned income credit on taxes we are able to afford it.

Another plus is that it has 22-25 mpg. This will be after my honey does

mechanical wonders to make it get better gas mileage. We would like

to thank all of our family and friends for making our Birthdays the best ever:)
