Garrett is so dumb! He has pretended to be me (if only he was that lucky). I would never write how much I love the Penguins! That is all Garrett does during hockey season and it drives me crazy! He goes to games and watches them at home. I even trained my cat to pee on his hockey jersey. :) Ok...........that was all Oreo, but I wish I could take credit. Garrett, don't mess up my blog with your stupid hockey team! You've been warned!!!

Go Pens!

Garrett with Kris Kunitz of the Pittsburgh Penguins. He came to Garrett's office to drop of the company's season tickets. It's been fun to be in a hockey town. I love to watch the Penguins. Hockey is becoming one of my favorite sports. I might add that my husband is looking pretty hot in this picture.

Trapper

Today, my sweet little puppy, Trapper passed away. It has been such a hard day! He was the best dog in the world! He was so gentle and loving. He was such a good dog and got along so well with the cats. Tiger and him were always sleeping together. She will definately be a lost soul without him. He was so friendly and nice, but if you were not supposed to be in his yard he was ferocious! A couple years ago my mom was home alone with Corban and she heard Trapper barking a mean bark and then she heard an animal screaming...anyways, Trapper cornered something under the deck and when we got home he was there to greet us just wagging his tail. Garrett checked out to see what was under the deck and it was the biggest raccoon ever! Trapper had snapped it's neck and killed it. There was no way he was going to let anything hurt his little Corban. He used to go everywhere with us and especially loved Lake Powell. We would jump off rocks into the lake and he would come after us thinking we were drowning. I have so many special memories with him and will miss him, but I am very thankful I had 15 years to spend with him!!!

Garrett's New Project

The boys, my mom and me went to Utah for a couple of weeks. While we were gone, Garrett decided to start a new project...ALL BY HIMSELF!! We have needed a carport to cover our boat, so Garrett decided to build one while we were in Utah. I was gone for a little over 2 weeks and my AMAZING husband did this alone. I don't know how he did it, but it is awesome! Well, I guess I can't give him all the credit I heard that the cats were there trying to help, but kept getting under his feet and trying to trip him. He sure is picky with his help. :)

I have to laugh because these are his plans for the carport on a Sears Portrait coupon! :)

It is huge!!! We can park the boat and truck under it!

It's a good thing I love my kids!!!

I had just finished cleaning my house and while I was putting the vacuum away and putting in a load of laundry my boys decided to do this! There was a picture frame in this box that I have never used and behind it was some styrofoam to protect it. Anyways, Corban discovered that if he tore the styrofoam apart it made Jayce laugh. I came up to find this mess. I grabbed the camera instead of beating them. :)

Yes, that is some in Jayce's mouth and I think I got most of it out. :)

Corban thinks he is so funny! :)

Happy 4th Birthday Corban!!!

I can't believe my baby is 4!! Corban turned 4 on September 2nd. We had a week long celebration and more parties planned in Utah for him. Saturday, the 29th he had his friend party, but he kept calling it his "fake" birthday. The party was hunting themed, of course! He had such a good time. On his "real" birthday we had just a family party with me, Garrett, Jayce, Grandpa Hyita and Grandma Hyita. We started with breakfast, which was his favorite, blueberry "muppins" and we had lunch and a gourmet dinner of his favorite, hot dogs and mac & cheese. He got so many gifts it was like Christmas, he got so many hunting gifts. I think he is set up to bow hunt better than Garrett! :) This past labor day weekend we took him to Splash Lagoon, an indoor water park in Erie, PA, and they had a cake waiting for him in our hotel room. So, he had a great celebration! He is such a joy in our lives! He is so smart and I can't believe how fast time has gone by. We love you Corban!!!

4 years old!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Today is my mom's birthday! She is the best grandma in the world and my kids adore her! She is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without her! So, Happy Birthday Mom! You are the greatest!!!
