Welcome Home Meghan

Once upon a time Mike, Stacy, and Morgan took a trip to Cedar City to pick up Meghan so that she could spend Christmas in Roy. They left on a Saturday and returned on Sunday to ALOT of snow. Welcome home Meghan to a White Christmas!!

Merry Christmas to all our Friends and Family!!

Cedar City

Well, Meghan's blazer wouldn't pass safety inspection in Cedar City so we had to make a quick trip to fix the problem. We surprised Meghan by bringing Morgan with us. It was a very quick trip, but Meghan was able to get her Mommy Hug that she says she has needed for about a week now, and she was able to visit with Morgan. Mike was able to fix the brakes so Meghan's blazer will now pass inspection. Everything good on the homefront now!!

Happy Halloween

Halloween was so much fun this year. Kyle as Tigger and Tyler as a baby monster. Oh, and of course, the crazy man with the long black hair. Sorry, that's Grandpa Mike having fun. HA HA

Hope everybody had a fun and safe Halloween.

Fall In Northern Utah

Mike and I spend every weekend together.....It's the BEST!!! We like to go on long drives. We made sure to take the camera with us this time, and I was glad we did. Fall is truly here. The leaves are turning and the weather is getting cooler. These pictures were taken up on Monty which is about 30 minutes from our house. I love living in Utah!!! :)

Grandma's Favorites

On Sunday after dinner I was sitting holding Tyler and Kyle had had enough!! He insisted that he needed to sit on Grandma's lap too. He practically climbed up all on his own and I had to have a picture with my two Favorite Guys.

The Little Guys In Our Lives :)

I just love being a grandma--and I just love the little guys in our lives!!

Family Vacation 2009

Well, before we dropped Meghan off at the grandparents for college, it was off to the cabin for a good old family vacation! We had a great time at the cabin and did lots of walking. The girls had lots of fun and Mike spent all his time working around the cabin. Vacation to Mike is doing work around the cabin--go figure :) We spent 3 wonderful days at the cabin and then it was time to drop Meghan off and head home. It was the perfect way to end our summer and get ready for the new school year!!

Introducing..........Tyler Lorin Bardin

We have a new Grandson......Tyler Lorin Bardin........He decided to come a day early. He was born Sunday, July 5th at 5:07 PM by C-Section. He weighed 7 lbs. 7 oz. and is 20 inches long. He already rules!!!

Did I mention the boat?????

After the clean up

Before the clean up

Last Saturday Mike and I went to Henderson to pick up a boat that our friends gave to Mike for FREE!! Yes, it was too good to be true--but Mike has really cleaned it up since we first picked it up, and I am starting to believe that it will float again some day:)

The Graduates

My Little Girls

I can't believe that my baby girls are all grown up and getting ready to graduate from high school.

Senior Dance

Well, Meghan got invited to the last big dance of the year and it was a lot of fun to go pick out a dress. Cicily came over and did her hair--I am NO hair person--thank goodness Cicily knows what she is doing. Meghan looked really nice:) Morgan didn't get asked:( but that didn't stop us from going at getting her a pretty dress too. We decided that they should get their senior pictures taken in their new dresses. Morgan and I went to see Wolverine instead, although Meghan thinks she had a better time than we did. I don't know, I thought Morgan and I had a pretty good time ourselves.:)

The Flu has arrived:(

On Wednesday Meghan went to a fancy restaurant down south in Salt Lake City and by early evening was really sick. Well, we all thought she had food poisoning of course. But alas, I do believe it was the FLU:( I think this because Mike now has the same thing. I was really looking forward to a nice evening and BAM!! I come home to the sick house. Oh well, maybe another time. I just hope I don't get this, it is soooooo not fun:(

Bardin Family Dinner

Every Sunday we get together for a family dinner. This Sunday, Meghan cooked dinner for the family. She is taking a Foods class and it was an assignment. She did a very good job cooking Fettuccini Alfredo and Regrigerator Rolls. We added some Ravioli, because there were a lot of us eating. We had a great time with great food! Thanks Meghan!!

Mini Me

I just love this picture!! Kyle has to imitate everything Grandpa does. One Saturday, Mike was sitting on the steps and Kyle sat next to him and started imitating every move that Mike made. It was so cute I just had to get a picture of it, Grandpa's little buddy:)

Come On Easter!!

I can not wait for Easter! Okay, not because it is Easter but because I get to have a couple of days off. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE teaching, but I just need a break right now. It just seems like I am running to work, I am running after work to get things paid or to mail something--you name it--I NEED A BREAK!! Oh, and this college thing--I don't remember having to do all this stuff to get ready for college. You have to fill out a FAFSA, you have to sign verification forms, you have to send in copies of tax information, you have to turn around three times and cry like a baby--okay I made that last one up--but please--I have to do everything TWICE--thank goodness that SUU lets me know what they need because then I can call WSU and find out if Morgan needs the same things, and YES she does. In fact, I have to run right after school tomorrow and take the tax information to WSU and sign some parental form too. On top of that, I have a workshop on Monday and Tuesday and I have to get ready for a substitute--now that is a nightmare.
Okay I think I'm through venting!! I feel a lot better now:)

My favorite way to spend a Saturday

Kyle didn't feel like taking a nap in is travel bed, so he sat on my lap and fell asleep. I couldn't help myself. Next thing I knew I was out too, and I am the luckiest mother in the world to have a daughter who takes pictures of everything:) But I wouldn't change a thing--having my favorite little guy snuggle up to me;)

Belated Christmas

Yeah, I know I'm kind of late--but here are a few of our Christmas pics.

We headed down to Cedar City the day after Christmas and had a great

time with my parents. Morgan got Speed Stackers for Christmas and we

had a great time trying to out stack each other. It was great family fun!!

Traditions

Every year on New Year's Day, Mike and I make tamales with our neighbors Jeremy and Socorro Whisman. We have been doing this for the last 3 years. We have a great time and it takes all day. What a wonderful way to start the New Year off--with food and friends.
