New Favorite boxed dinners...

I'm a HUGE sucker when it comes to Italian food and that's probably why I love, love, love these soooo much!!! These babies come in five different flavors and are so quick and easy to make. I think they taste the same as if you got them straight from the restaurant. Since I live where there isn't a Macaroni Grill, these make up for it! (;

The five flavors are;

-Creamy basil Parmesan chicken & pasta

-Chicken Alfredo with linguine

-Garlic & herb chicken penne

-Chicken Marsala with linguine

-Chicken piccata with angel hair pasta

They only take about 20 minutes to prep and make and the only thing that the box doesn't come with is the meat! I believe you can get them at any grocery store. We only have two stores here and both of them carry it. I found a web site that has all the Macaroni Grill recipes on it if you want to make it ALL yourself as well. ENJOY!!!

35 weeks!!!

Here is an updated pregnancy shot of my belly at 35 weeks... Just 4 more weeks to go and she'll be here!!! We can't wait to meet her and are so excited for her to join this growing family! We'll keep everyone posted on updates as they happen -or maybe a few days after depending on the size of the update! (:

BO's Birthday Celebration

On the 20th, we celebrated BO's 4th birthday as a family. Rylee and I were both sick, so we didn't get to do a party. I don't think BO minded one bit as long as his dad was there with him! (:

Owen was telling BO right here that he had to go through the spanking machine in order to get his presents . BO didn't think is was a good idea, but did it anyway.

(Sorry, I didn't realize my knee was in the way until after they were all taken.)

Owen had to get in a second spanking to make up for me not being in the line I guess.

These first gifts were "just clothes" but he did like them! (:

BO's tool belt he's been waiting for so he can work with dad when he goes and does construction stuff. He also has a collection of real tools with it. He LOVES going to work with his dad.

The "Buzz light year" toy from the Stapley family.

His remote controlled hummer from Grandma and Grandpa Park.

Showing off his fun things. I think Owen was just as excited about the remote controlled hummer as BO was.

This is a lizard that BO had to bring home the other day.... We've all been trying to nurse him back to health after he was stepped on twice. Once by accident and the other to try to put it out of his misery both of witch were none of us might I add. We are going on day 5 with him now and he's doing rather well. He's totally blind, but full of energy. He is doing about 40% better then when we first got him.

BO's sad birthday cake.... I dropped the other half of his cake getting it out of the oven. I didn't have time to make another one, so this was it!

Happy Birthday BO! (:

My mom, two brothers and sister Sierra came into town that night and brought BO a really nice fishing pole. BO can't wait to go fishing again with his dad and has been bugging him ever since to go fishing.

Thanks everyone for making BO's birthday a fun one!

Happy 4th Birthday BO!!!!

It's this handsome little man's 4th birthday today!!! Can you believe he is four already? I just look at him don't want to say he's four just yet. ): He is growing up so fast and is so smart.

He loves going to work with his dad and absolutely loves every minute of it. He loves doing things that dad does and if it's not dad he's mimicking, it's his Grandpa Jeff. BO just can't get enough of these guys and I'm so grateful that he has such wonderful examples that he adores! (:

Golfing

BO has been wanting to go golfing with Owen for the past few weeks now, so yesterday after Owen got off work, he took BO and Rylee out to the golfing range to practice putting. I think the kids and Owen enjoyed it!

While Owen and the two older kids were golfing, Kodi and I danced around the house (mostly Kodi, but I egged it on!).

A week full of sewing and fun!

Last week, the kids and I headed to St. George to help my sister Jana sew dresses for all 12 of my sister Erika's nieces and soon to be nieces for Erika and Tyler's wedding on the 4th. Jana already had about 6 close to being done and the rest all cut out. I just helped with the finishing touches and sewing together the bottoms of the rest of the dresses. I wish I could say we sewed like mad trying to get them all done before I left, but with doctor appointments, Jana's birthday celebrations and errands, it was impossible! We did get a big dent done though! (: Thanks Jana and Brad again for such an awesome, relaxing week! Here is Rylee and Kodi's dresses all done.

Snake River trip 2010

On July 8-11, our family and a bunch of our friends all headed to Alpine, Wyoming for some well anticipated river runs. Owen guides it and I run everything at camp and a lot of who goes down the river. This year since I was 6 weeks away from my due date, I wasn't able to enjoy the river, but I did however enjoy what goes on at camp. Just to tell you, there was about 46 people that ran the river this year and 21 that did not.... CRAZY!!! It was so much fun and we look forward to it EVERY year! (:

Bridger and BO at camp

Kodi bug enjoying the outdoors without shoes (where on earth was her parents....lol We couldn't keep shoes on any of the kids we had there, I guess they just loved the feel of the round.)

Rylee getting really dirty with all the nice soft dirt we had there. (:

BO enjoying the shade next to Grandma and Grandpa's trailer.

BO and Haydon playing in the dirt getting really dirty... BO had to shovel dirt into the bucket!

Grandpa and his shadow! If Grandpa went anywhere or did anything without BO everyone in camp knew it... He would start yelling at the top of his lungs, "Grandpa, where are you!!!"(:

Grandma and there is BO saving Grandpa's seat... Owen just relaxing.

Here are a few pictures of the river.

These are some of our friends that went... Andrew, Michelle and Nettie. The river just isn't the same without Michelle! (; Thanks guys for making the effort, even if it was only for a day! (: And YES, that is me with the big belly... I was so swollen on the trip and wasn't feeling the greatest, but there you have it!
