Camping Trip October 2009

Well we did it, we decided to get in at least one camping trip in this year and hopefully before it got too cold. It was actually really nice up there. If the wind stopped it would have been perfect. I was really anxious on how my children would handle being away from home, especially Chase since he doesn't like change like his mother. But both exceeded mine and Jarens expectations. Chase rode his Power Wheels Quad everywhere it would make it and then some, and whom ever he could get to ride him around in his (really grandmas) mim mim (ATC 70). Kamryn was just content chilling in the trailer. I think it was too windy for her taste. I was really proud of Chase because he kept his beanie on his head the whole time. He is a child that refuses to wear a hat. And we tried to prepare him before the trip but didn't have much faith. But the cold won him over. Jaren got to take some more night pictures of the stars, playing with his camera. We didn't many animals. Lots of squirrels, poor squirrels it was hunting season for them. But we did see a bald eagle that as we drove down a back road it took off in front of Jarens mom and landed in a tree. It was HUGE and very beautiful. All in all it was a great trip and I can't wait to do it again with the children.


Not sure why she is pouting but I love when she sticks her lip out.


Chase chilling on grandmas Mim mim. Although he believes it belongs to him.

Camping Hollywood Style.

I just love that smile.

Out Cold

What a cute turd....

Oh, boy....and then he turned two. Man I never thought that my sweet, sweet little angel could be such a pain in the butt. It was like he woke up one day and decided that because he was two he had to live up to the title Terrible Twos. Jaren and I decided to take him for pictures on Jarens only day off with the family and he would not look at the camera. He made it a point not to look and especially not to smile. So these were the only pictures we got. And needless to say we are not retaking them.

So exhausted....

My Babies

Kamryn Laci


Chase Garrett

Kamryn's Blessing

Precious little baby adorned in knitted white.
You haven't been here long just months from heavens light.
You have brought us so much love,
And caused so many smiles.
You are so precious and
giving all of us gathered here so much joy.
And you have a little brother than soon will love you too
because soon his life will be like Christmas and you
his favorite toy!

Written with love from your Grandpa Foster

Mormon Lake Lodge Mini Vacation

We finally did it. A family picture and I dont even hate it. We went up north to Mormon Lake for Jarens cousins wedding and decided to make it a mini family vacation. I was a little nervous when we got there because the room we rented didn't have air conditioning and ours was the only one without a fan and it was so hot that Kamryn was turning red and crying. I didn't know if we were going to be able to stay. But a fan was found which helped out a lot. The wedding was beautiful it was outdoors and decorated so elegant. The food was awesome and it rained a little but not enough to ruin the wedding just enough to cool it down. Everything was too perfect though and unfortunately at the end of the reception sadness had to happen. The brides Uncle who was there from NY videotaping the wedding became ill and had a heart attack and passed away that evening. So the happy event turned sad we just hope that they will be able to move on and remember the good memories and not the bad. We stayed a little longer the next day and I was able to go on a horse back ride with Sandra and Natalie. It was really fun but I was also sore the next day. Charlie and Sandy left there trailer up there and I am hoping we will be able to do it again soon before the year is up. I know Chase had a blast being able to run around in the woods.

Happy Birthday Chase!!!!

Happy Birthday Chase!!!!

On July 4th we had a small pool party for Chase. Here he is in his airplane teeter toter, you would never guess his dad is a pilot. Ha. He loves to fly me around every night when it cools off. I cant believe he is already two. He is such a big boy and so much fun to be around. Every day he does something new and memorable. It is amazing how fast they grow up and how much you just love them.
