One Year
It has been one year since our Maggie dog has died. I know, I should get over it, but it is still so hard. Sometimes at night I still cry about her. I miss her. I miss cuddling with her and her always being by my side. We have our new maltese, Molly, at a dog training place and we went the other day to see her and how she was doing. The trainer had her lay on her side and stay. That brought a flashback to me of Maggie and how she was laying on her side when she passed. I teared up. And Shawn prays every now and then that none of our dogs will ever choke on apples again. It's crazy how much it has impacted our lives. We haven't had apples in our house since. Sure we have 2 dogs now, but neither of them are Maggie. I love you , Mag!Tuesday, July 21, 2009
McCall Vacation
We went up to McCall, Idaho for a week of fun, sun, and boating. We stayed at Ty's grandpa's condo which is right on the lake. We love it up there, it's so pretty. It was more fun this time because we took out boat up!
All our boys on the balcony.
Our first family boat ride. We weren't sure how Cody and NIck would handle the boat but they both did awesome!
Nick loved pretending to drive the boat. He wants to do everything his daddy does!
Horse ride at the local supermarket.
Our first full day we rode the boat to a beach for lunch. Cody actually fell asleep on the way there! So cute!
We set up the sun shade and laid Cody on a towel. He slept like that for a while.
The boys loved the sand although Kyle said it was too "twiggy".
Ty and his baby.
Kyle is a tubing maniac! He is so brave!
Nick fell asleep on the way back tot the condo!
It was funny because Cody could not move in his life jacket. He tried to crawl and even roll over but he couldn't move an inch!
Ahhhh, the pool. So nice. I wanted Ty to take a pic of me in my life jacket in the pool but he said he was to ashamed and embarassed of me. Shawn got reallybrave and jumped into the pool. He realized that that was fun! So he jumped on a lot. He also learned how to swim!!! And he swims under water!! He is a better swimmer then I am! I am really proud of him.
Playing on the beach at the condo.
Cody was such a good boy. He was happy and totally just chill in his cage or carseat under the sun shade.
Kyle in his boating getup: goggles, life jacket, and water gun. What more could you need?
There is the best ice cream place up there called Ice Cream Alley. We ate there almost every night. You get these huge scoops of way good ice cream for a good price.
Cody has oreo face!
Shawn and Kyle both got bubble gum.
I love Kyle's expressions!
Idaho had a lot of wierdos. This guy was rolling up a smoke at the ice cream place. He was wierd.
Here's another example of wierdos in Idaho: these guys set up a tight rope at the park. They kept walking on it and would fall. It was wierd.
I let Cody on the sand for a few minutes, He ate it. And he was smiling the whole time!
So Cute!
He's like "What is this stuff?"
Shawn and Kyle made a lot of friends up there. They played on the beach making castles and moats. It was a lot of fun for them.
Cody did not like the pool!
We were just chillin' on the beach and all of the sudden there were tons of geese that came by. We gave them some bread from our lunch and they just about came on the beach but then someone brought their dog down and it chased them away.
Ty and the boys made this hole. It's jsut a hole that they put water in, it was really deep.
Ty's bum.
My bikino shot. I'm doing my "After" photo pose, you know, like those diet ads that have a frumpy frowning person for a "before" pic and then there's a thin. smiling, happy "after" swimsuit pic.
Cute Cody! His face would get all smooshed in his jacket. Look at his ears too! They got all bent! He was a good sport. So cute! (Look at Shawn in the background! Such a cutie!)
We rode the boat everywhere so Cody was in his lifejacket alot! We boated into the towns dock every night and got ice cream and watched Ty play beach volleyball. So relaxing and fun.
Our beautiful view from the condo.
We were almost home. The gas light came on. I questioned Ty of we should get gas. He said no, he's never once ran out of gas and that we would make it to Tremonton which was 13 miles away. Well, then the gas chime went off. Then there came 2 big hills that we chugged up. Then we lost speed. Yep, we ran out of gas 2 miles away from Tremonton. Ugh! It was so funny though. Luckily we were able to coast under a bridge so the kids and I were in the shade. And the first car that passed us pulled over and picked Ty up. I think we were definatley watched out for!
Ty filling up the 'burban!!! I can now give him a hard time about this for a l-o-n-g time!!!
It was such a fun vacation. It was a lot of work dealing with the kids and trying to get everyone asleep in one room but it was worth it. It made me proud of us that we were able to handle things and still have fun!

I'm Not Afraid to Show my "Geeky" Side!
I LOVE these pictures! About 10 years ago, my sister came for a visit. We went to D.I. one day just for a laugh and we found these awesome clothes! I just had to buy them! We got home and took a lot of nerd pics. It was so fun! There are a lot more to the collection but I'll save those for another time. (PS Ty does not approve of these pictures. I guess he doesn't like funny things then!)
Pretty as a Flower in Spring!
Ty, I'm ready to go boating! I got my life jacket on!
Oh yeah...check out that bum!
Lets Party!!!

Introducing...
We got a little Yorkie yesturday. She is 9 weeks old. We got her so that Molly (our Maltese) would have a friend. She was up all night whining, it was so sad. We got hardly any sleep! But she is very cuddly and cute. Molly, at first, would run away from her but tonight they are playing together. SO cute!!! For now, her name is Bella. Or the official name is Isabelle Yorkie Parkin. We're not sure if we like the name "Bella" though. Nick is already calling her that. It's cute to her him call for her!
Here's a pic of her hiding under our bed trying to get away from Nick. Poor thing.
