Herger Homefront

Way past due.

Junie, a chef in the morning...
An Artist by mid afternoon...

And to top if off, a Princess, the rest of the day!

My little Ry, he is a charmer. I love his smile, it tickles my heart. :)

We have been in Arizona for about 7 months now and love it. We have made wonderful friends, played in countless parks, visited the temple many times, shared many precious moments with our two darling children, had our neice, Cassie, move in, moved into a house instead of an apartment, grew grass in our backyard (yes, we are so excited about that) and much more. I must say the winter is fantastic, 70 degrees...

Dean is working so hard in the program, spending hours a day studying. We do get plenty of time together still which is a treat we didn't expect. June loves her Daddy, she will jump on him in the mornings and say "It's time to get up Dad, it's 8:30." It seems to be 8:30 more than twice a day in our house.

Our sweet little girl is 2. June talks so well, sings like an angel, she is so trusting, loving and so much fun. She really enjoys being a big sister. June loves to make Ryan laugh, she'll do this cute, wiggle dance that gets him to laugh so hard. She also likes to dress up, clothes, chapstick, make up. She will put on her princess dress and say "I Princess" (while bowing). We've had to keep all chapstick in high places, June WILL NOT give it up is she gets her hands on it. She won't eat it but use it all up, her lips will be covered layers upon layers.. and then say "How I look?" (while puckering her lips).

Now for our little man... Ryan is such a happy, smily baby boy. He is 5 months now. Where does time go? Ryan is my side-kick, we go everywhere together. Lately, he has been blowing raspberries with his lips, adorable. Ryan rolls all over the place. Once he figured out he could move.. he has been rolling all over. He's trying to keep away from June, hahaha.

Our children bring us the greatest happiness, joy and love. Heavenly Father has blessed us beyond measure.

As for me, I couldn't be happier being a mom. Staying home and playing with my babies all day is a dream come true. June and I paint, scoop puff balls into bowls, color, play with playdough, cook, bake, eat, do everything together, with Ryan on my hip (totally interested in everything we are doing). I LOVE being a mom.

There is a little about and a couple pictures...

Walter Ryan Herger

August 27th 2011, 3:49am

7lbs 3oz, 20inch

Labor went great! I woke up at 2am and he was here at 3:49am. No time for epidural and believe me I asked for it! We where at the hospital about 20 minutes before he was born.

We feel so blessed, our boy is happy, healthy and a wonderful sleepier.. Makes for one happy Mommy. :)

June calls him "Walter Ryan", and smoothers him in kisses.

Dean with his babies.

June loves holding her little brother.

So happy Ryan is finally here. June was amazed to see him.

Our 4th Anniversary

2011-08-17T18:56:00.000-07:00

August 17th 2007

Today we celebrated our 4th Wedding Anniversary! It has been a dream come true. Dean and I have come so far and the future holds even more fun, love and pure joy. Our love for each other grows more and more every day. We have a beautiful, happy, healthy little girl and our son to be born in a couple weeks.

Time and for all Eternity together is a true blessing, I wouldn't want to do it with our Dean. I love you so much.

Happy 4th Anniversary!

Happy Birthday Dean!

2011-08-09T12:15:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Dean!!
To a wonderful Husband and Father...

Dean, this is our favorite day of the year, a day to celebrate just you! Your daughter loves you so much, when you are gone everything is Daddies.. Daddies bed, Daddies water, Daddies book, Daddies car.. and the list continues. Then when you walk in the door "Daddy" and June runs to living room, diving on the ground, roll over to her back and say "Daddy bite" (meaning her stomach). She loves waking you up and telling you all about monkies and doggies. You are her hero!

I am so blessed Heavenly Father brought us together. Life has never been so good and it just continues. You and I have a deep deep love, I love you so much! I can tell you anything, be myself and enjoy doing nothing with you! you are my one true love.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

Little update.

Tips to beating the Hot Arizona Heat..

1. Do your running around in the morning..

2. Water is your new best friend, DO NOT leave the house without a bottle.

3. After naps.. hang out in diaper (luck June!)

We are so blessed to be here in Arizona. I have made a couple really good friends that are so very sweet. I went to a "Girls Night" and come to find out, my friends through a little baby shower for me. I love them! June took over the balloons the second I walked in the door. :)

No Love for Ronald McDonald

There are so many fun things for us to do.. Our friend Tiffany loves going to the library so we thought we'd check it out.. June loved story time. We sang, read books and played with scraves and bubbles. A "Special Guest" was coming after songs and books. When Ronald McDonald walked in.. all the kids got so excited. Not June.. We were sitting near the front and June was clapping allong with the other kids but her face and voice was not sure. When Ronald went into his tricks, June wasn't having it.. she screamed out, "SIDE" (which means outside). I walked to the back of the group and June was crying but keeping her eyes on the happy, loud, over excited clown. By then the attention was on June. Needless to say, we didn't hang around.. No more Ronald McDonald reading time for us.

Bye, Bye, Ronald..

One Amazing Week!

2011-07-12T10:18:00.000-07:00

Happy 4th of July

Our first time watching fireworks in Arizona.. We had a couple friends come over and sit on our front lawn to enjoy the view. Popcorn, popsicles and water balloons were a perfect touch.

June with her buddies, Tommy and Indi
We love being in Arizona. Heavenly Father has blessed up with good friends and wonderful oppertunities here, we are so grateful.

Time with Family

We left Wednesday for Utah for some family time.. What a blast! June got to spend time with her cousins, Lincoln and Reagan. Lincoln and Reagan were great playmates. Lincoln would push June back and forth and back and forth. Reagan was so good about showing June where and what to do. She is such a good big sister and cousin.

Lincoln loves playing wiht Unlce Dean.
Such a cute picture!

Julie is such a wonderful host. She made us Switish Pancakes and they were SO GOOD.. Here are her helpers!!

JulieAnn and Will, you are both great parents. So thoughtful and loving. Thank you for all your love towards us. We loved playing and just spending time together. Your home is a blessed place. You can feel love and warmth in your home... Thank you for everything. We are so grateful to be family, and blessed to have such a special connection with you guys. Love you!

Elder Mikell Mohr returning from his mission!!

June's first time meeting her Unlce Mikell... So exciting!

Here he comes! Mikell ran down the stairs right into his momma's arms. It was was sweet.

Hello, Elder Mikell!

Welcome Home little Brother..

(Papa, Mikell, Oma, Grandma, Dean, Savannah and June)

June was so happy to see Papa.

Unlce Mike had a warming gift for June, a Teddy Bear. That helped break the ice, she loves the bear.

Play Day

After picking up Mikell from the Airport, we went to lunch. Metting up with JulieAnn, Reagan, Lincoln, Tammara, Jason and Hunter. Tammara and Jason brought their 2 adorable puppys.

Mikell looks so happy, doesn't he. :)

Julie and Lincoln

Reagan is so cute! This picture is the BEST...haha

Papa and Reagan

Beautiful afternoon at the Park.

After lunch we went to the park to play with the kids and puppies. Perfect weather and tons of fun.

Lincoln chill'en

Hunter is so good with all the kids,they loved him. Hunter is such a talented dude.. He could manage all the kids hovering over two puppies and be able to play with them. Hunter you are awesome! :)

Lincoln, Hunter w Pup, Reagan and June

Tammara and JulieAnn such lovely gals. It was so fun just being able to sit and chat. I've missed these gals a ton.

Cousins playing.

June and her Aunt Tammara, whom June calls Nani... don't know why put its cute. June would rather sit with her Aunt than her Mom.. I am so glad she loves her auntie.

Time in Wellington, Utah

Four Generation picture. It is such a treat having Grandma so close. She made her lemon suprise and let me tell you it is AMAZING. Grandma is still so thoughtful and full of lovies. Grandma we love you tons!

June begs her daddy many times a day to "Bound.."

Unlce Jason and June snuggling! June was so willing to jump into his arms, so cute. June is such a little thing and Unlce Jason is huge and she had no problem squeezing in! We love you Uncle Jason. We can't wait for a visit!! :)

This is such a Rockee move.. I thought Coltton would love this picture. June was in heaven just roaming around the yard with the dogs. Dean and I haven't seen her so happy and carefree, Oma and Papa your home is so special.

June was in heaven. She loved the swing and having Hunter, Mikell and puppy was heaven. It was difficult getting her out of it!

Mikell the Poser! haha

The evenings were the best.. swinging, talking, roasting marshmellows, it was so relaxing!

June has NEVER fallen asleep on anyone.. She snuggled right up with Hunter and the pup and slept. It was so cute. Hunter your little cousin LOVES you.

Mikell about to give his coming home talk. June warmed up to him fast! He is so funny!

Another favorite thing of mine to do is sit on the porch and just talk and eat.. Wellington is perfect kick back town. Mom and Dad's home smells like Home Depot to me. I love the smells, sounds and green grass.. Simple things in life is where it is at!

Oma and Junie cooking eggs for breakfast..

Leaving Papa, Oma and Mikie.

We had such a great trip. I have never seen June have so much fun. She was doing her own thing, playing with toys.. demanding the dogs follow her everywhere. June was call Bruno... "Bruno, mere". Bruno is at least two times bigger than june.. All the doggies loved June and June LOVED the doggies.

Oma and Papa, thank you for such a fun weekend. Time with family means the world to us. Thank you for all the yummy food, camping out on your porch, the s'mores and great company.

Mikell, we are so happy you are home from your mission. You are such a great example to us all. Heavenly Father is blessed with your work, i know it! We lov you so much. Take care of Coltton, Branndon, Leanne and Hazel. Love them up for us!

Our Baby girl, June!

2009-11-06T15:30:00.000-08:00

Arriving at the hospital!!
We got to the hospital at 10:30pm after waiting out contractions until they were 5 mins apart. Our sweet nurse asked if I was having an epidural or if I would like a shot to take off the edge. I took the shot and then got to chill in the bath for a while, it was so relaxing.. Until the yummy grape popsicle came up... It was getting too hot in the bath so I went back to my room and then went into full on labor. No time for an epidural!!!

Our family...at last!

Labor was tough (look at my face and feel the proof!)!! I was having a hard time and babys heart rate was dropping quickly. The doctor had to put a sucker on babys head to help get her out, along with the threat of a c-section if she wouldn't come out fast. So I gave it all I had and June finally poped into the world!

Pamela June Herger
October 12th, 2009
1:08am
6lbs 13oz, 19 3/4 inches

Dean has been mesmerized by June since the second he saw her. He is the sweetest Dad and June loves him so much!

Not quite up to solid foods yet...but Grandpa sure is!!

"Your my little choochie face, my lovie, dovie, wubby, little choochie face! ...and your my teddy bear... together we're an oochie coochie pair!"

You see what I'm saying!! Dean is so wonderful. June got her duckie outfit from her Great Grandma Clifton...it is so cute. This face that June has is my favorite! She puckers her lips together and crosses one eye.. Oh I LOVE IT!

To Moby...or not to Moby? That is the question.

Dr. MOM

We have been so blessed, for the last 3 weeks we have been staying with Grandma. Our little Pamela June is named after her Grandma Herger. Anyway, we play, eat, and chat all day. It has been so wonderful spending time with Grandma, Grandpa, and Jamie. We only planned on being here for a week, fortunately for us our apartment had a flooding problem and we have had to stay an extra 2 weeks. Unfortunately, we still have to deal with an ickie apartment.

Here is June in the company of her Daddy and Grandpa's!

We love to cuddle!

June is so excited to meet everyone! And she is so strong.. she holds her head up and turns it when you talk to her. Amazing!

After her bath! So sweet and clean..

There she is!

Dean and I are so very happy, we feel so very blessed.. we LOVE our little June Bugg and are so excited she is finally here!

MORE TO COME...

Baby June!

2009-10-31T23:31:00.000-07:00

Fortuna California

2009-09-16T23:36:00.000-07:00

Eureka! Dean and I had a couple days to just get away.. it was so wonderful. Dean wouldn't tell me the final destination, my only clue was somewhere cooler than Chico. We had a fun drive and ended in Fortuna. An small fishing town that was great! We ate good food, slept in, and ice cream and just enjoyed being together! I loved it!

Eureka Zoo

Doggie Sitters!

2009-09-16T23:03:00.000-07:00

This is Me at 36 weeks! Our little girl is growing.. ;)

Dean and I have been very busy lately.. While my parents have been working on their new place in Utah, Dean and I took on the task of Dog sitters and house watchers! We have been having the greatest time with the doggies, lov'en them up! During the day while Dean is at school I have been helping going through things and organizing.. love it and Belle has been my sidekick!

We took the dogs on walks and car rides.. They didn't know what to do in the car but I couldn't leave them at the house, when I went to pick up Dean from school. They LOVE Dean!! So it was a nice surprise for all of them!

Rockie is a stick lover!! He carries his sticks around all day, he even naps with them now, but once Dean shows up.. crazy begins! He wippers and whines until Dean plays with him.. Rocko wakes Dean up in the morning with a great big smile and loves. It is so cute!

Belle is my sweetie. She follows me around all day long. And if I have to go to the store for a quick minute she gives me "The LOOK"! She has precious eyes and a puppy face, its a killer! This is a parcial precious face.. I love my pup.

This is a new found hobbie that the dogs have.. tug-a-war. This bunny is Belle's chew toy, now because it is Belle's, Rockee wants it! So they share it.. never very long but long enough for a picture!
Dean and I have had the greatest time hanging out with the doggies. Both Rockee and Belle are such a wonderful part of our family. They make us laugh so much, we are so blessed to be given such love.

Greating Bigger!!

2009-08-27T13:17:00.000-07:00

I am now 33 weeks along! I am loving my Doctor appointments, every other week! We are so blessed to have Dr. Unterseher, he is so knowledgeable and very comfortable to be around. Our sweet baby girl is growing and moving all the time. She is very active! She is going to be here sooner that you know it!! Yeah! I am so happy..

You all should see my sweetheart Dean, he is going to be the best Dad. He won't let me lift a thing! He talks to my belly and even sings Lullabies to her. I can wait to see him holding our little one. Dean is so wonderful, i love him so much.
Dean started another semester at Chico State this last week. He is excited about his classes. He is also working on getting an internship, thanks to Will (our brother-in-law). ;) Life is just going great. We are so very blessed and happy.
Love you all..

My sweethearts Birthday!

2009-08-14T11:45:00.000-07:00

August 9th, my Sweethearts birthday, fell on a Sunday this year, so we did a little celebrating on Monday! It was such an enjoyable day. He wanted to work in the morning, that was fine with me but the rest of the day he was mine! Dean was finishing the last of his work on the computer and I slipt out of the house to get some supplies.. I picked up a birthday balloon, sparkling cider and lunch.. good old KFC! You just can't match the potato's, gravy and chicken.. I hid it all in the back of the trunk.. I picked up my starving man and headed to a "Chico's Finest" pinicing spot.. Bidwell Park! Dean asked about what we are going to do for lunch, I told him not to worry.. Then he kept mentioning how it spelled like fried chicken! I asured him that someone must be BBQing or something.. I think he knew better!
We got to our lovely picnic spot and enjoyed a wonderful lunch together in park. It was so yummy and I had the best company.. My hunny!
I am just so very blessed. My husband is the most carring, loving, supportive and hard working man I know. He is such a joy to me and I make sure that every day (many times) I thank my Heavenly Father for my sweet husband Dean.
I love him with all my heart, he is my Lovie! ;) Happy Birthday Dean!!!

First, to start the update off.. We went camping in the Redwoods with Pam, Jamie, Jillian, Mikell, Dean and I! We had SO MUCH FUN!!! My computer is being a little picky about the pictures so I only have a few of them up here.
This was the last big camping trip my little brother Mikell will be taking.. He is now serving his mission in Omaha, Nebraska..

While the rest of us took naps... Jillian was very busy coaxing the little squirrels and chipmunks with her sunflower seeds.. With so much determination she was successful! One chipmunk loved Jillian, it was so cute! He would eat right out of her hand. Dean and I had to get in on this action and the little sweet thing ate from our hand as well! We had a blast. We went on walks, checked out massive redwoods, looked at a waterfall.. For a couple days we were just spoiled by Heavenly Fathers creations and Pams amazing cooking!! It was lovely!

Elder Mikell Mohr, serving in Nebraska... He has now joined the missionary ranks with our other brother Elder Coltton Mohr serving in Switzerland. It is such a blessing to have worthly, loving, happy brothers that give up two years of their lives to service. We are so very blessed! They could always use letters of love and support so if anyone would like to write them, let me know and I'll post thier addresses. ;)

Now I can't wait to look for cute stuff!

Sweet Summer Nights!

Dad, doing what he loves to do best, Mow with a cold sodie in his paws! I drove up and he was outside mowing the little island across from their house, then he kindly made his way around the bock... mowing all the neighbors lawns as well.

This is what the boys do.. Everyday the boys call Dean and I to come over and "play" with them. We came over and I watched them play 3 flies up for like 2 1/2 hours, in the front yard.

Mikell and Dean being silly as usual.. I don't know if I have mentioned that Mikell is leaving for his mission July 1st. He has been called to Omaha, Nebraska.. He is going to be a great missionary. He has such a sweet, tender heart and is so very funny.

Mikell and Dean again!

This was funny.. Branndon (my big brother is a fire fighter), he brought all his new gear over and wanted to have Tony try it on.. Tony didn't want too. Branndon being as sly as he is said Ok and ask him to just put on the pants so he could adjust them. Tony agreed to that and put on the pants, then Branndon made an excuse for the coat and so on.... As soon as you know it Tony is decked out in Branndon's fight fighting get-up.. I love my brothers!

Coltton, my little brother, serving in Switcherland sent me some "New" pictures.. Who knows how old they are but I was so excited to get some new pictures of him. Here he is in front of "Hotel Califonia", he was so happy to see this!

Like I said I don't know how old these are.. oh well! Coltton, will be back at the end of the year.. He is such a bubblie spirit, I know the Swiss peeps have been lov'en him up. ;)

Mikell, Me, Tony, Leanne and Dean!
We all got to go see Tony (the one in the tan and white shirt) get a distinguished music award from the Navy! Yeah, GO TONY!! He is graduating this year and will be attending BYU in the fall. We are so blessed to have such a smartie pants in our family.. Here we all are supporting The TONE MAN!

Dean and I had a date at the Fair.. Oh it was so wonderful, we ate corn dogs while enjoying The Grand Funk Railroad concert. We also pet all the cute farm babies, there were a ton!

I got to ride the piggie!! How exciting..

And lastly, my sweet husband is such a sport! One of our Carpet Cleaning customers was so sweet and gave me a dead sea spa kit! It came with all sorts of goodies, among them was mud masks.. So Dean and I had our own spa day and it was delightful!
This what we have been up too the last couple weeks!! Fun Fun Fun

Happy Birthday Walter W. Herger!!!

2009-05-20T17:12:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Dad!
This has to be your favorite day of the year.. You have a huge fan club wishing you the best! We love you so much!

I love this picture of you and Pam.

We love spending time with you. Thank you for working so hard and still making time to dress up with us.

Utah Trip

2009-05-11T17:06:00.000-07:00

This is my Mom and Dads new property! It is in Wellington UTAH, a very Po Dunk Town.. the property needs a lot of loving! My funny Papa Bear (Dad) has his plans drawn out for the new house he is going to build for my momma. It is going to be beautiful but until it becomes such we plan on giving them a hard time! kidding! We all get a good laugh.. Mom, Dad and Lb! The rest of us kids (Tammara, Branndon and Leanne, Savannah and Dean, Coltton when he gets off his mission) are staying in good old, green, good smelling California! Tony will be at BYU and Mikell on his mission in NEBRASKA!!!!

My ADORABLE niece, Reagan! Tammara, mom and I get to surprise Julie and Will, while we were out in Utah. It was so fun!

Julie is such a wonderful mother. She is now the mother of two beautiful kids, little Lincoln (the newest addition to the family) and Reagan. Julie made us Taco soup.. Oh my goodness it was so good...

Mom, Tammara and I at Womens Conference.. Mom drove us out there, she is a trouper while behind the wheel, very impressive! It was a great Conference, we got or spiritual boost for the month, all in about 5 hours.. everyone should have the chance to go to conference.. Bring a sweater, it is cold and snacks are a MUST!!!

Dean was so sweet! After returning from our long drive home and sleeping for like 10 hours.. I woke up Sunday and Dean made me dinner and dessert! He is a great cook and I didn't know it.. He made this dessert all on his own, the short cake and all... he also knew how much I LOVE raspberries so instead of strawberry short cake, he made yummy raspberry short cake. oh I ate it all, it was so good! I was so happy to be home with my sweetheart!

Whitney's Bridal Shower

2009-05-11T16:36:00.000-07:00

Whitney is getting married in July! I am so very excited for her, she has been one of my dearest friends since about 7th grade. She is living in Virgina, it is far but know we have a place to visit! I love Whit so much she is absolutely lovely and I miss her tons! I owe her a whole lot, she was Dean and I's regulator. We had an Anatomy class together and would talk the whole time about Dean then, bless her soul, she would go talk to Dean in their Speech class about me. Needless to say, Whitney is amazing!

Tammara and Kanyon became great friends over the weekend! Kanyon is such a sweet baby, she is Kim's baby.
P.S. My sister is single and needs a good mormon boy, so if you have any high quality men, they have to go through me first! I am looking for her (she doesn't know)!

These are my girls! Meggie (in brown), My momma, Tammara, Kim and Kanyon. All enjoying Chili's drinks!

This is all of us!
Megan and I (outside ones) have been friends since diaper status and Kim and Whitney same deal (middle ones). The ward boundaries changed when we were all in 7th grade and we all were in in the same ward together and since have been Best Friends!

After a long day of shopping and talking we tested out the beds at Kohls.. They met our satisfaction! Oh they sure did.. Isn't Kanyon adorable!

FHE and Birthday Celebrations

2009-04-27T16:08:00.000-07:00

We had Family Home Evening at Wildwood Park, the boys played home run durby while the gals cooked and ate.. Lb is pitching, Mikell batting and Dean being catcher. You can't see Branndon and Thomas fielding but they are there! They love playing with each other..Hahah, this is Leanne (Branndons wifie), she is a crack up and she loves Doritos!! To the right is our friend Alison. They are both so funny.

We put Tony in charge of cooking the burgers.. he had to sacrifice a couple to the grill before perfecting his burger skills! He is showing you some now! And momma the faithful cheese placer..

This was at Grandma and Grandpa Clifton's house, we celebrated the last 4 months of birthdays! As we all knelt for prayer the boys just looked to buff, i had to take a picture!
Left to right: Grandpa in the back, Leanne, Mikell (he should be getting his mission papers back this week and we will find out where he will be serving the next two years!), Branndon, Tony and LB, oh and a part of mom.

Tammara in the back and this is Uncle Craigs dog, Riff Raff! And Deans, I love you to the dog!

Uncle Craig, he is so funny! Moms younger brother.

Uncle Eric, moms youngest brother. Grandma made him hold up Coltton! He looks big and bad but he is a big softy!

Everyones birthdays within the last 4 months! LB, Daddo, Grandma, Momma, Eric and me, oh and of course Coltton..

Tammara, Rachel and I enjoying tri-tip, home made potato salad and cole slaw. Oh it was so yummy!

Fun Stuff!

2009-04-13T21:24:00.000-07:00

Everyone who know Dad, knows he loves to work.. Something he has instilled in all his children! Dad was planning on building a garage so he had the boys dig 3, 3 feet holes. Instead of finishing the plan he made a new one up.. Find property in Utah! So Dad and the boys filled the holes with cement instead.

Dean also has the same drive for working and loves to work right beside Daddo, and both of the doggies LOVE Dean and Dad.. They follow them eveywhere! Dean just happened to have a little Arby's left over and the pups WILL NOT leave you alone until you share a little treatsie with them... EVENLY!

We all enjoy eggs! Branndon couldn't help himself.. He is like Geston (Beauty and the Beast), at "least 4 dozen eggs, every morning to help him get large".. that's what firemen do!

These men are too much.. They are busy dying eggs and playing with them.. Goofy!

Like Branndon, Dad loves eggs too!!!He is so funny! And I made a "I love Dean" egg.. and a "baby" egg, "Belle" egg, "Rocko" egg, "Colttie bug" egg and i forgot the rest!

Mohr Reunion

2009-04-13T17:23:00.001-07:00

Tony and our cousin Chrissy's baby, Mary. She was attached to me a lot! Tony is getting his unlce practice in... Mary was all giggles and snuggles.

Mom, Tammara and I
This year the Mohr side decided that we would have our family reunion during Spring Break this year. We all meet at Camp Nauvoo, right outside Placerville. It was sprinkling the whole time but that didn't stop us from having fun!

Among the fun activities( puddle stomping, food grubbing, candy chowing, movie watch'en, chat'en.. etc), we had a Easter egg hunt for all the little ones.. It was hard keeping them inside while the adults hide the eggs. Aunt Mundi regulating!

Tammara and i had quite the sleeping arrangement.. Dean couldn't make it because of school, so Tammara became my sleeping buddy (butt buddies, we call it). Well between freezing and burning flashes.. we slept on two tables shoved together (not kind to our hips!). Our head at the side of our parents blow-up mattress, mom snoring all night (echoing.. the LOUD sound of sawing logs. I am NOT kinding!) Dad, tamma and I had to make a potty run (really running) to the freezing bathroom at 3am.. And waking up to sizzling bacon and eggs, pancakes and all the goodies that come with family reunions...

This is Lilly (Aunt Sundi's youngest)! Lilly is one of the crazy cousins... She found a banana slug, we were trying to convice her to put in on her tongue, it's supose to numb it. But instead she "wanted to make [her] nose soft", placing the slimmy, thick thing as shown!

Pam's Birthday Bash

2009-04-08T16:25:00.000-07:00

Wally, Birthday Girl, Deano and Jamie!!!! Oh and Harley.. Faithful side-kick..

All here to celebrate Pam!! We LOVE Pam so much...

Everyone sitting in a circle to honor Pam... A family tradition! We all sit around and say something to the birthday person (Pam), it is a wonderful tradition.. We share funny stories, sweet memories, a couple tears and lots of love.

This is such a funny picture of Leanne and Branndon! They are so wonderful.. Leanne works so hard, she is our Boss (we are apartment managers)... and Bezzer is a Fire Fighter! Leanne loves that! ;)

Santa Cruz

2009-03-23T19:33:00.001-07:00

Tony trying to get his kite up in the air instead of hugging the sand!
It was Dean and I Spring Break last week, so we took Mikell and Tony to Santa Cruz. I tell ya, the boys are so much fun! We flew kites, played cards all night, picked up shells, when on a walk and ate McDonald's!

Mikell is so funny.. He is showing me how much he likes the sand! Mikell treated us to clam chowder and fries, it was so yummy.

Dean LOVED flying his kite, his went up so high! He is so wonderful and cute.

I love picking up shells! And odd looking ocean stuff.. Mikell came and joined me. Ocean goodies! Here we all are.. This is a reflection off one of the shops on the pier... Not to bad!
Tony, Me, Dean and Mikell.
We had so much fun chill'en at the beach. Santa Cruz is a great get away!

Wonderful Dinio's!!!!

2009-03-23T17:41:00.000-07:00

Mikell and I went to Sacramento to visit Tammara for a day.. It just happened to be a Saturday and we made a trip to my new found FAVORITE place, DINIO'S. It is like going to Mexico, tons of shops, fresh produce and all sorts of treasure. It is so wonderful!
Now the story behind Tammara and this lady in the Gold pants. When Mikell (the one next to me is the sunglasses) was a young pup, had a pair of victorias secret silky, stretchy, gold pants just like the one this lady is wearing. He would wear them EVERY night for year!! (No joke)So naturally while standing in the food line, our eyes caught a briliant glow and to our astonishment... a girl in Mikell's gold stretchy pants . We all couldn't avert our eyes, so Tammara had no problem asking her to take a picture with her and her wonderful goldies! She was a great sport about it! hahah

Mikell and I at the $5 shade stand! I had a tag in my eye!!! We are deal shoppers.. ;)

Cassi playing at Arco Arena!!

2009-03-16T09:13:00.000-07:00

Dean and I absolutly loved playing Reagen. It took a minute for her to get use to us then after that it was all fun and games.. She is so cute and growing so fast. She was only a month old at our wedding.. now look at her!

We have been so blessed this year!! Not just one prego but TWO!! Robin and Julie... how exciting! Aren't they such good looking moms!

In November I had the chance to go out to Utah to visit my best friends (minus Whitney, who is in Virginia), but out of the four of us 3 were together for our "Girls Weekend!!" Which consisted of a lot of driving, crazy picture taking, funny story telling, getting pulled over, cooking good food together, hot tub soaking... all the things best friends LOVE to do together!
Megan(the one in pink) just returned from her mission in up state New York. She is our cook in the group and is adjusting quickly into real life... ;)

Meggie and I, we love to talk serious pictures together! I am SO glad she is home!

BULL RIDING!!!!

2008-10-17T09:23:00.000-07:00

This year we have been so lucky to have done the sound for the last two big rodeos in northern California. We don't know how Dad does it... We had so much fun!! And the best thing we sat next to the bull riders and right in front of the gates so we saw EVERYTHING close up! It was great. Nothing like a bull riding with sunflowers seeds, that is the way to spend the weekend.

Tammara and I love the lip shots.. Mine need a little help!

Haha... Tammara, Mikell and Dean! These are some CRAZY bulls....
Now this was SO FUNNY!!! This is a BULLy.. This is the bull that does cowboy poker! If anyone knows what that is you'll understand he is a mean bull. What I found so funny, is that he is put with the sheep!! And even then he would push them around..

Our Precious Doggies!

2008-09-05T20:42:00.000-07:00

One thing Dean and I find great joy in is out doggies. When Coltton left on his mission Rockie was not himself, after lots and lots of lovies we finally got his spirits back up! Rockie fell in love with Dean. Now if you know Rockie he loves to jump at anything that flies by such as birds, dragonflies, butterflies, prysiams and even planes!
Dean walks in the gate and Rockie runs for his stick.. the one that he has been chewing on all day and the barking begins and doesn't end until Dean leaves.. Rockie is getting good... Just look!
For those of you who do not know her... her name is Belle. This is my precious, my baby girl, my sweetheart (Dean too!!), she will be 9 in Nov. Belle is my doggie, she stays at my parents home. Santa brought her to me while I was in the 8th grade (santa knows EVERYTHING!!). Belle is mine and Deans baby girl, isn't she a doll..

Football Fans

2008-09-05T20:35:00.000-07:00

We are proud supporters of our youngest brother, LB (little brandon, that is not so little!!). He is a Sophmore this year at Pleasant Valley High and an amazing football player (#75). There is nothing like watching a game with a hot dog in one hand and nice cold drink in the other!! GO VIKINGS!!!
Go get'um LB!!

Water Works Park

2008-08-11T15:15:00.000-07:00

We just had the most fabulous weekend with Pam, Jamie, Melissa and Jillian! We went to the water park in Redding. Dean and I LOVED playing with you all.. Pam is napping in the back, she is so wonderful! Look how cute Jillian is, our sweet niece. Dean and I LOVED playing with her, she was keeping us going the whole day! So GREAT..
Melissa is one of the funniest people I know, everytime I am with her she makes me laugh. We love you Melissa!
Jamie is my chill'en buddy.. We would get in the lounge pool, Jillian and I were the motorboats and Jamie the precious cargo!

This was by far the best ride! Dean, Jillian and Melissa almost touched the top.. Melissa was crazy enough to go down by herself and BACKWARDS!!!! The rest of us didn't have enought gutts to do that.. It was such a fun day, our family is awesome..

Reno Vacation

2008-08-11T13:09:00.000-07:00

Dean and I at went to Reno right after summer school got out, we needed time away after our long classes. We started of in no better place than Circus Circus!! Dean loves elephants and I tame them... Ahh

We stayed on the 20th floor of the Nugget and while glancing down from our window we say a farmers market right in front! We had a great time walking around eating raosted corn (SO GOOD!!), fresh lemonade and Dean saw a greman hotdog stand and couldn't pass up the chance. So on behalf of Coltton we got one.. And let me tell you that is the LAST German hot dog I'll eat. It was very dry, even with loads of mustard.. Dean choken it down like a champ!

The Best thing about Reno is the ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET!! We loved dressing up and going to the Silver Legacy, they had an all you can eat Seafood. Dean tried Oysters, he loved them with a little tabasco. Yes he is a crazy man! I stuck with the crab and shrimp.. oh so good!

Now, Dean and I love going to the temple any chance we get. While on vacation we love visiting the temples in the area. It is such a wonderful feeling everytime we go, full of real JOY. This is the Reno temple, it is smaller than Sacramento, but full of love just the same..

Another Summer Day

2008-08-05T17:21:00.000-07:00

It was another blazing hot day in Chico, so to escape the heat Dean, Mikell and I went to a river in Oroville to cool off. That sure did the trick! The water was so refreshing. We soaked up the sun with our $1 floaties from good old walmart and drinking ice cold rootbeer. Yeah, it was great!
Dean and I have found a new favorite pass time.. Bocce Ball! We keep it in our car so we can play it anytime. While I was working on my tan, Mikell and Dean couldn't pass up a chance to Bocce. It was so entertaining..Being that we were on top of a hill the ball kept going in to the water. It was wonderful.

Good Ones!

Now I thought you'd all LOVE this picture... We have a flower boy (Dad), Mikell loves his teddy, Branndon and Zac are hula dudes, Tony loves his pearls, Lb a farmer with a boa and my Sweet Darling (he is tagged as precious!!).. I could only imagen what Coltton would be doing! This is dedicated to him, our dear little brother in Swizterland! Love you Bugg.

Okay, first off Tammara has huge shoes on so she looks way taller than all the rest of us! Next we love taking pictures together! I love my sisters and Mommy..

I also love my litttle brother and big sister... This is kind of a random picture but I didn't know how to erase it with out deleting the rest of the post so this will do. Plus, I love our faces!

Family Pictures!

We are a giggly bunch... Way to much fun! No the best way to look at these pictures is to look at everyone individually, it's GREAT!

Okay so this is how we do a "Family Photo"!!! This is NEVER a say cheese and we are done, no no no.. It is see which picture Mom and Dad HAVE to get!! Ha Ha Tammara had a different pose in evey picture, Zac always looks SHOCKED, Tony and I were doing a doll face, although I don't remember any dolls looking like that! LB, is way to hard core, mom and dad so sweet, Branndon and Leanne so cute, Mikell actually smiling, he was focused on "The Duck!".. And my sweetheart is just a darling!

Utah... 4th of July

Okay so the majority of these pictures are taken at the Olsen Family Shindig!! It was so much fun. The drive there and back was SUPER long but well worth it. Pat and Jamie came up for the day, they are wonderful. Julie and Will are splendid.. we had a great time with little Reagan.
The water was freezing, the food yummy, the cousins a blast and I tell you what we can't wait until the next one!
We missed our little brother Coltton but he is having more fun in Switzerland... He is such a joy to us! You Swiss people are so blessed to have him in your company! Love you Bugger!
