Russ and Spens 30th birthday

July 8, 1980. This was the year for the big 3 0. Being such a big birthday we had a big birthday bash for Russ and Spen. The whole family (except Lori's family) was able to make the trip up to the Beaver Mt. We spent the night in my Uncle Bruce's cabin. It was so much fun. Everyone had a great time. Thanks everyone for coming and making the birthday such a great success.




There was a picture of the boys when they were about two sitting in front of their cake. Its one of the pictures on our wedding video. I tried to find it but couldn't. I recreated that same cake. I also made the boys sit on the same side. One day ill find that picture and have them side by side.

Grandpa Stevens brought up his canoe and everyone got a ride. Its was tons of fun.

La La and Brad just chilling at the cabin.

Paiz loves to fish, well she loves to take your pole so you can't fish almost the same thing. She is getting so big and so cute these days.

Fun on the Farm

Paiz loves animals. When we went up to Provo we went to the Farm/petting zoo at Thanksgiving point with Wade, Sarah, Claire and Holden. We had tons of fun and Paizley loved riding the horses. Paiz really loved being with her cousins and being around animals. What a perfect day!!



The horse wasn't going fast enough so she was kicking. What a funny little girl.

Let us out of here!!!

Getting ready for the rodeo and the real sheep ride. Practice makes perfect right.

HAPPY EASTER

I'm sorry but these pictures are backwards so we start on Easter day and work our way backwards thought all the Easter Fun. This is Uncle Brad swinging with Paizley, she will go with anyone as long as they are going OUTSIDE. I think she would live outside if we would let her. Crazy Kid!


We had the worlds best Easter Egg Hunt and Nana's. Okay Okay I'm the one who hid all the eggs, so maybe that is why it was the worlds best. You should have been there it was fabulous. I got gold dollars and a two dollar bill for the hunt along with lots of candy filled eggs. Everyone of the kids got a gold dollar but they had to find them. There was only one two dollar egg. Max was the winner, let me tell you he had to work for it I did a awesome job hiding those eggs. I actually forgot where I hid two of them. These are the three Easter Egg hunters. Paizley sure likes to be around her cousins.

Easter egg dying was on Saturday after Beck and Max got to town. I let Paizley give dying a chance until she just had to do it by herself, so I gave her a cup of water and let her go to town. She was happy with the water and I was happy with the easy clean up. Beck, Max and I had fun doing tie-die, and gold and silver eggs. It was lots of fun!

Our second Easter egg hunt was the 2nd annual Holden Easter Egg Hunt. This hunt was awesome, Paiz made out like a bandit. She got cute glasses and a duck along with a handful of candy. There was also a small improvement on Paizley's hunting abilities. Good thing we had some practice before the big show. Paizley had tons of fun with Nana and Bompa.

We started our Easter out in a snow storm. Paizleys first Easter Egg hunt was indoors because of a foot of snow. The little kids were in the hall and bent around to the lunchroom. Paiz didn't care where it was just as long as she got some candy. She really only wanted one piece of candy after that she was fine to just not pick up anymore, but thanks to Grandma we got a few extra.

All Sorts of Fun in Holden

This is one of Russ's new colts that him and Spen are breaking. He loves this stuff.


While Dad was playing with the colts Nana, Grandpa, and Paiz went to fly some kites. It was lots of fun but very windy (who would of guessed).




Paiz loves to ride horses with her dad, she is so cute these days I can't get enough of her.

Photo Shoot

My Uncle Chris called me today and asked if I wanted some pictures done of Paizley. He said that he had done Deans and had the stuff set up so who would turn down pictures right. They turned out cute. Thanks Chris

First Hair cut

Paiz was in need of a hair cut. She wasn't to sure about sitting in the chair by herself, but we are sure glad we finally got it done. Cute little Paiz with a cute little bob.



We needed a sucker to keep her attention off of getting out of the chair.

Cute stuff!!!

Fun in the Snow!!

The end of December and the first of January was full of fun in the snow. I have two nephews that are not often confrontational they are usually well behaved that is why these photos are truly funny. Let me play it out for you. Max upset about something and I'm sure Beck in the back is the reason why. Check out his face; oh man he's mad. That's why you will never believe the photos to come.

Now Beck is still teasing him because really what can he do he is on a moving sled behind the jeep, really in Becks eyes he can tease Max all he wants. Look at the devious look in Becks eyes.

Oh nuts the car stopped and Max is on the attack, watch out Beck you are done for! This was all happening while all the adults sat in the Jeep and watched.

This is just a really cut picture of the little one!!! She loves being outside.

New Years Day in Holden. It was a great two weekends in Holden. We had tons of fun over Christmas and New Years.
