Sledding on Christmas Eve

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Thanks JD for taking them all over the fields!! We want to let the kids go sledding and do lots of fun things on Christmas Eve so they would be nice and tired later on! It totally worked. We got them up early... wrapped some presents and then we took them up to Grandma Pegs to go sledding. Afterwards they came in and had hot chocolate and cookies. Then we went around to all the cemetaries and lit candles on some graves. It was really cold!! Then we came home and the kids opened one gift from me and Landon, which were really cute gingerbread jammies! They all matched and were SO cute! Then this year Tim and Laynee bought each other gifts so they got to open them on Christmas Eve too! They had lots of fun playing with them! After that we watched a movie and went to bed! Later that night when Landon was putting Dax to bed he looked out the window and there were 4 deer wandering around out on our drive way! It was really cool, we tried to take pictures but it was so dark... We told the kids that Santa was really checking up on them before he could come!! It was such a fun Christmas!!

Happy Holidays!!

Lots of GOOD food and friends! I have been working in Park City at Gymboree Outlet. It has been lots of fun, but lots of time!! I feel like I haven't had the time for anything lately! But hey that's life! Laynee has been taking dance at WDC. She loves it and has her final performance tonight at 6:30! I will make sure to post some pics...promise! Tim has been wrestling! He loves it this year. He is actually really good, Landon says he's a "natural!!" His last tournament was Tues. He won a medal and was SO proud of it! He keeps asking when show and tell is at school so he can go and show it off!! I love it. Daxy boy is just growing so fast and talking all the time. He is even starting to sing little songs!!

6 quirks...

2008-10-16T21:21:00.003-06:00

This is a tag from Natalia! Rules are to list who tagged you, then tell about 6 quirks of yours. Then Tag 6 fellow bloggers!!

1. I have the WORST memory! I have a really hard time remembering names. When ever I am making cd's for spin I can never remember who sings what! I am always making lists of things! I have to write things down or I will forget!
2. I sit on my couch everyday @ 4 with a diet coke and watch OPRAH!!
3. I have to check my bed every night for spiders! I have a huge fear of them crawling on my at night!
4. I have to have about 10 min. (at least) of alone time to wake up in the morning. Don't bother me, don't even say a word to me!! After I eat my bowl of cereal I am ready to be nice! Needless to say I am NOT a morning person. I have had to be in the past but I had to fake it!
5. When I am nervous I bite my nails! I have tried so many times to break the habit but I can't!
6. After a long day of being home taking care of kids my favorite thing to unwind is to get a good work out, the more I sweat the better I feel! Most people like to get their workouts in early and start off their day...but not me I feel like it relieves me.
So there are 6 of my quirks, this was a hard one for me! I guess I am pretty plain I don't have a lot of quirks!!

Picture Tag

2008-10-09T13:36:00.002-06:00

I got this fun Tag from my cousin Tracie... I thought it was a fun tag! SO you go to your picture files, go to the 4th folder and pick the 4th picture and then blog about it!
This is a picture of Tim and myself when we were in Maui almost 2 years ago. We stayed at this amazing resort and there were about 7 pools that all connect with waterslides! There is one pool that is especially for kids and the bottom is all sand. It makes it really fun, they can build sand castles and play in it and then just go swim and wash off! It is such an amazing place! I hope that some day we will be able to go back again! We went with my family... my parents, bro's and sister and then us! It was so much fun, we made a lot of fun memories!

2008-09-29T16:24:00.002-06:00

Isn't he SO cute!! We got these back today! I have been wanting to do a post the past couple of days but, I didn't really have anything exciting to say. I have had a pretty crappy week! Last Tues. was my birthday, so that night I sat down in my bed with a big fat peice of cake! yummo... but right after I finished I felt so sick! So the next morning I had to go and teach my Spin Class and then I had to go and help in Tim's class and I felt okay the whole time. But as soon as I got home I crashed on my couch. I don't think I moved much at all except to get my kids what they needed. I hurt so bad! It has been on and off ever since. Last night (sunday) I was up all night! This morning there was absolutely no liquids left inside me! Here is a little trivia... What happens to your tongue after taking "quite a bit" of Pepto? Your tongue will turn BLACK! Oh my gosh, I ran in to the computer to look up a black tongue?!? I have never seen such a sight! I was going to take a picture, but I was in a hurry trying to get ready for work and to take Tim to school, and the other two to their grandma's! So sorry you don't get to see it, but I am sure you can imagine. Well I hope that no one gets what ever I have had.... but if you do beware, it lasts forever and it sucks!

Cascade Springs

2008-09-19T15:44:00.013-06:00

Sunday afternoon we decided to take a ride up Snake Creek Canyon. The leaves are at their peak right now. They are so beautiful!

This is right above the Golf Course, don't ya love how Tim has my smily eyes!

A few years ago when Tim was a baby we carved our names in some trees, but we couldn't find them. So we carved all of our names in this one. This time we won't forget where it is!

Somewhere along the way we got lost and took a wrong road. SO we ended up on the back side of the Alpine Loop. It was a georgous ride but it ended up taking us 3 1/2 hours! But along the way we stopped at Cascade Springs. The kiddo's had a blast exploring all the trails!

Tim and Laynee's favorite thing was to run up to all the signs and have us read what each one said.

I love it up there, there are some really cool spots for pictures. I tried really hard to get better ones of them, but they aren't very patient! And there were tons of people there!

AAWWW... aren't they so cute! I am so glad they can love each other... most of the time!

Just a little FYI... Landon will be 31 on Sunday!!

Mom, I GOT HIT BY A CAR

2008-09-16T18:11:00.006-06:00

This afternoon I was in my house mopping my kitchen floor. Tim went outside to ride his bike. He has been so proud that he can ride with out his training wheels that it's the only thing he wants to do ALL the time! SO no big deal a few min. later I hear him call MOM, but I kept mopping... when I got finished I went out to check on him. He is standing on the corner with an older gentleman. I could tell something was wrong. I went running over and asked what happened. Tim started crying and said MOM, I GOT HIT BY A CAR! I could not believe it! So we sat down on the grass, his ankle was all bloodied up and instantly bruised. The man that was walking by said he was a retired doctor and he proceeded to check Tim over, thank goodness he was there! He said when he saw Tim he was sitting on the curb crying. So he did not see who had hit him. Tim said the car hit him and stopped for only a second and then drove away. He said it was a white car, like mine (a white ford explorer) but without the flower stickers. He could not see who was driving. It was around 230 in the afternoon, the time that school gets out. SO if any one noticed a white SUV around that time Tues. afternoon driving through timp meadows, I would appreciate any info.
This is the scape down the road where Tim got dragged on his bike.... if you notice there is a hole in the road, that is where the screw that holds the tire on was broken off still laying in the road when we got out there. There is a little brake mark and then the scape is about 8 feet long.

This is the part of the bike that got dragged down the road!

His bike is "totaled". That is the one thing he said. Now I have to get a new bike!

So this is the worst of his "oueys" (if that's how you spell it!) Pretty good scrape and bruiz. He is very lucky that is all he got considering! When he was telling me about it later he kept saying.. "Good thing I didn't die huh mom." Yes it IS a good thing! I can't not even imagine this life with out my little Timmy. I am SO thankful he didn't get hurt any worse!

Which PRINCESS are you?

2008-09-16T12:39:00.001-06:00

You Are Cinderella!

Dignified and hard working. With a gentle and soft-spoken manner you have something many people don't. Patience. Even through the moments of heartbreak you're still able to hold onto all of your hopes and dreams. Bide your time; your dream will come true.

Bridal Veil Falls

2008-09-10T15:54:00.003-06:00

Sunday we decided to take a picnic to Bridal Veil! When we got there it was still kinda cold and shady everywhere, so we decided to hike up the falls!! Let me tell you... it was quite the hike. I have done it a few times, but it has been withOUT kids! Landon carried Dax, and the rest of us were on our own!

There were a few really scary moments! There are a couple spots where there have been rock slides and the rocks are like razor sharp! So Landon is in front of me with Dax, and Tim is trying to go around him and he slips... almost going down to the bottom and Landon is trying to grap him with Dax in his arms, thank goodness Landon caught him just in time. Tim only got a few scrapes up his leg! For a couple of min. I thought I was going to lose all 3 of my boys!! Eventually we made it up to the top and had fun looking around.

At the bottom there is a little pool of water that we have played in before, but this time the water was very frigid! Tim would not get in it! But Laynee and Landon went across and got some really cute pictures!

I don't think I have ever seen Landon so nervous! Tim was climbing all around and the rocks were wet and slippery! Luckily we didn't have any other accidents! We made it home safe and sound!

After the hike we sat down for a fun little picnic. Dax was so funny! He wanted everyone's food. He was trying to get Laynee's watermelon here! We had a great time, the park there is the perfect place to hang out and relax!

I don't know if I have ever really noticed how beautiful the falls are!

I forgot to mention how we went down on Sunday, we skipped out on Stake Confrence! We didn't want to try 2 hours with our kiddo's! We had to stop and get some ice at the 1-stop and Tim says Dad what is today? He told him it was Sunday and he says, "MOM DON'T DO IT!!!" He knew I wasn't supposed to be shopping on Sunday!! He is so aware of everything!! He wanted me to say a prayer when we were having our picnic and repent!! I am glad I have him to keep me on my toes!!

Going Going... GONE!

2008-09-03T13:43:00.003-06:00

So it is official! Dax has taken his first steps. Friday we were sitting around playing with Dax and Landon said I bet Sunday he will start walking. SO Sunday we were really working on it with him. He took about 5 steps! He did it about 10 times on Sunday. The past couple days he will stand for awhile, take a few steps, stand there for a min, and then take a few more! So he is getting around pretty good! I am getting ready for all his bumps and bruises! I know he will be falling alot. Sometimes he will fall right to his face! I am glad we live at this house now, where there is soft carpet and not just hard wood!

Tim's 1st day of Kindergarten!!

Fit Stop Fiesta!!

2008-08-26T14:36:00.002-06:00

Last weekend was the end of the Fit Stop Olympics! We had a challenge for about 6-8 weeks to see who could get the most points... The winner won a condo in Jackson Hole for 7 days, (good prize huh!) 2nd place won a week stay @ a condo in PC and 3rd place won a weekend @ Zermatt. So I think the winners were really happy.. and they all said they are addicted now!
So we partied it up Mexican style! It was lots of fun... and lots of really yummy food!!

DANCING....it has begun!

2008-08-26T14:25:00.003-06:00

Today was such an exciting day for Laynee and myself! It was Laynee's 1st day of Dance!! She has been so excited for a really long time to start. The day we signed her up we went and bought her "dancing outfit" and she has worn it everyday since. She walks around saying, "I'm a dancer huh, mom?" She looked so cute and all grown up. Even Tim told her how beautiful she looked! Her teacher is Miss Trisha. She had so much fun today! I love to watch her get so excited when she is doing what she loves!
Today was also an exciting day for Tim. We found out that his Kindergarten teacher is going to be Miss P. He has a couple of his friends in his class too. Kindergarten is going to be a great year! We get to go and meet Miss P. tomorrow afternoon and then he begins on Thursday!! Holy cow, I have a Kindergartener... My next post will probably be a picture of me crying as he leaves me! :(

Bear Lake 2008!

2008-08-20T13:52:00.005-06:00

Well this wasn't our normal Bear Lake trip this year! We were planning to go for the whole weekend, but unfortunately we only made a day trip! Landon started a new part time job at Ashworth, so he couldn't get time off. So Torry and her kids and my kids and I all loaded up and drove up for the day! It ended up being alot of fun.

We got up there around 10 am, and it was perfect beach weather. The kids played, Dax slept for a little while. We got to lay out!

It was great times!! For some reason there seemed to be an awful lot of bee's around me!! They kept landing on me and Dax. So I would swat them away. I must have been too late one time, Dax got a sting... He really didn't like it. He cried for a very long time. His poor little finger swelled up and looked like it was going to pop off his little hand! After some tylenol and a nap he was okay!
After we played for awhile we went over to town and got us a raspberry shake and onion rings... YUM-O! They truly are the best. I think when you are camping (even for a day) nothing even compares!!
It was lots of fun, hopefully next year we will be able to make it a longer trip! And maybe Dax will be over the put everything in your mouth stage... even sand! But thanx to Jackie for planning it this year!!

Fridge RADER!!

2008-08-08T13:45:00.002-06:00

So yesterday I was in the middle of cleaning out my fridge, I was at the sink washing down the shelves and when I came back to the fridge this is what I found!! I swear Dax has to be right in the middle of everything!! But by the time I put the camera down and a shelf or two back in he rolled out some how and scraped up his eye!

Happy Fairdays!!

2008-08-06T13:36:00.003-06:00

Fairdays have come and gone! This year we entered Dax into the famous Baby Contest! It was so much fun. He was entered in the fastest crawler, the diaper derby and the most photogenic contests. It was so much fun to see all these cute babies! I think they were all so hot and tired, it was hard for alot of them to perform!! This is a picture of all the winners from each event.

Dax was of corse the fastest crawler 6-9 months. It was so funny! All the babies (I think there were about 6 of them) lined up ready to crawl. They said ready, set, go and all the babies just sat there looking around.. like what am I doing here?!? After about 2 min. I got Dax's attention and he was off crawling, but half way across the stage he stopped. Some of the other babies started crawling toward him and then he hurried and finished all the way to mom!! Yea, good job buddy!! I knew he would win this one... he is a little speed demon at our house. I can't keep him in one spot, he is everywhere, and really fast!
They had some really cute prizes too! He got a little basketball hoop toy. I think Laynee and Tim are enjoying it more than he is!! The girl by me is Angie Neubuger. Her little boy won the "So you think you can dance" portion... he was really cute.
The Diaper Derby was hilarious!! I have it on video (I wish I could post it!!) So I had Landon do this one, so he could redeem himself from the last time! Well he definately did NOT get the job done!! He was 4th out of 4!! But I won't blame him, we are blaming the diapers for being so hard to get open!! The guy that won, his poor baby was traumatized!! She was screaming so hard!! But it was really fun to watch all the dad's try to be so fast!! I definately give Landon props for even going on stage to try!!!

The rest of fair days was really fun too. We spent all day thursday at the Carnival, our kids were wiped out. I think they slept till 10 the next morning! My brother's showed their pigs, so we went over and watched for a little while! Can I just say I don't know how other mom's do it. It is so hard keeping track of 3 kids! Every time I decide to take my kids "out" by myself I feel so frazzled trying to keep my eyes on all of them!!

Saturday night we were in the parade with the Fit Stop Crew! I think by the time I got home that night we ended up walking/running about 5 miles!! After the parade we went to the rodeo, which was tons of fun. Tim did the stick horse race! He claims he won it!! But with 100 little kids it was really hard to tell who won! Laynee slept right through it all. She slept for most of the rodeo! Then they had fireworks... they were amazing! We had a really fun week. - Thanks to my family who helped me so much with my kiddo's!!

Discovery Center

2008-07-18T14:54:00.006-06:00

One day @ work a lady gave me some tickets to the children's Discovery Center.. so we finally went! Our kids hads so much fun!This is Tim & his buddy Tyson. They had a great time running place to place! There were so many interesting things to explore...

Tim went grocery shopping....

so did Laynee, she's my healthy one!

she doesn't look to happy, but she really did like the helocopter! Tim thought it was the coolest part... there was a command post and they could talk back and forth. It was pretty fun. There were so many kids there this day though, Tim never got the chance to drive... darn it!

Dax had a really fun time too! There was SO much for him to play with...
If any of you are looking for something fun to do ... go to the Gateway and stop at the Discovery Center! You could spend the whole day there, and it is nicely air conditioned!!

8 Years!!

2008-07-15T11:49:00.002-06:00

So I am a day late!! Yesterday was our 8th anniversary!! I can not believe how time is flying by! It really is crazy. I was thinking back how 8 years ago still seems like yesterday. We were so young and innocent! We have been through a lot in those 8 years and I am excited for the many more years that are to come! Who knows what they will bring...

Ooh La La Hot Mama!!

2008-07-08T16:35:00.002-06:00

So I will give you 1 guess who this is..........
Yes it is my HUSBAND!! Can you believe how good he looks as a woman!!?? It's really sad when your husband makes a cuter girl than yourself!! Holy Cow, this was so much fun! There was a "drag baseball game" fundraiser for our new rec center! It was so hilarious to see all these manly men dress up as really sexy women!!

The announcer kept saying that Landon looked just like me!! It was kind of embarrasing! These were the guys that got an award for being the most "alluring" Clint Kelson won!! There was a really funny play where Clint was trying to catch the ball at Home and he lost his balance on his big shoes and fell over... breaking his shoe!! I don't know how he didn't break his ankle!!
It was a fun night... no matter what Landon says, he really did have a good time being a girl!!

2008-07-08T15:14:00.006-06:00

Sorry it has been SO long... I have a whole list of excuses! I sort of lost interest and our computer has been having problems uploading pictures, I have been really busy working and playing all summer... but I have recommited so hopefully I will be better now!! Here is a little glimpse of what we have been doing... This is Landon and his Grandpa Afton.. He just turned 94! He is a very cute old man!! He is always talking about the pretty ladies!! I think all the grandsons take after him, and they don't even know it! He sat in this chair the whole party and let the little girls comb and play with his hair!! He is a sweetie!! Happy Birthday Grandpa Afton!!

Tim has been playing T-Ball... He was on the rock rock Rockies! He had a lot of fun... Dad even helped coach! This is Tim's cousin Jacob.. they had fun playing each other! T-Ball only lasts about 6 weeks, but we were all so glad it came to an end! I think we will stick with soccer... Soccer rules. Tim has also been to wrestling camp! He was not excited... he even cried when Landon told him about it. But he went and really had fun.. So he is going to try the Sanderson camp next week!!

Great Grandpa Afton had a big family BBQ at his house right before his 94th birthday! It was lots of fun playing with all the fam! All of Aftons daughters arranged a huge swimming pool full of sawdust with tons of prizes buried inside. All the kids got to dig through and find the treats... they all loved it!
Laynee was pretty shy about it. She found a few peices of candy... It's amazing how shy she gets around a crowd of people. She is kind of like her mommy!

This is Dax and Chesney! Aren't they sweeties? Dax is about 8 1/2 months. He is getting so big. He is crawling everywhere and stands up against everything. Just today he started walking along the couch holding on for dear life with each step. He gets so excited!! He is such a happy baby. I have been trying to get some video clips to put on here... so if any of you know how I would love some pointers!! Thanx.....

Catching Up!

2008-05-22T16:49:00.002-06:00

Sorry it has been forever since I blogged! It has been a little busy around our house! Tim GRADUATED PRE-SCHOOL!! It was really cute. His school had a little program where all the kids sang songs and did a little program. They went through all the kids and asked what they want to be when they are older. Tim wants to be "Everything!!" It was a really fun school. Tim was lucky to have Mrs. Mary Ellen for his teacher. She was so cute with all the kids! He will miss his buddies!
A couple of weeks ago was Landon's dads 70th Birthday! We had a surprise party for him! He almost fell over when he came in and everyone yelled SURPRISE!! It was really funny! We had a great time. Family parties are always fun with all the Bonner's! This picture was at the end of the party so this is all of the fam. except Steve and Troy.
Dax is 7 months now! He has 4 teeth!! And he is crawling all over our house!!! I left him in the living room while I was making beds and before I was done he had crawled down the hall into the bedroom. He didn't want to miss out on all the fun! I took him to the doc's to check up on his ear infection because he was still pulling on his ears and he now has a double ear infection! Poor little buddy. He is so good though and hardly ever even whines! This is his new toy! He loves to play in it. It is about the only place I can put him and know that he can't get hurt or find something to put in his mouth! He's a very good boy! We always joke that he has been our happiest baby by far!
This is Laynee Lou riding on the carausel @ the Zermatt. We decided to surprise our kids with a little getaway weekend! We didn't tell them about it untill right before we left! It was lots of fun. They got to ride this carausel a couple times and we swam all night! Laynee figured out how to swim all by herself (just with her life jacket) She is getting so BIG! @ 7 in the morning Tim was ready to go swimming again! So about 830 we were back @ the pool. The main pool was SO cold so Laynee, Dax, and I hung out in the hot tub. The hot tub is really cool there. It has a huge rock wall with a waterfall coming down into the hot tub. It was so funny, we would go back and forth into hot and cold water and Dax wouldn't even change his expression! He even fell asleep while I was walking around the pool with him! It was the perfect weather too. I wished we could've spent all day @ the pool! But it was lots of fun to getaway with the kiddo's! This week has been kind of crazy too. Saturday I went to buy some flowers and bark for our garden and when I closed the back window of my car, the whole thing fell off! The hinges totally fell apart! So luckily the guy was helping me because I was holding Dax! But I had to carefully lay the window in my back seat and drive home! So now I am waiting ever so patiently to get it fixed! It really sucks to not have a car! Monday night I came in the house from being outside all day! (it was the perfect day) and our cable wasn't working so after being on the phone for 58 min. they decided a technition would have to come out to fix the prob. and the earliest day is FRIDAY! So we have been TVless all week! It was a going to be a great TV week too, with all the finally's... like American Idol and Grey's! :( So bummer week! To top it off Laynee started throwing up on Wed. morning! SO we have been dealing with that too! Also this week Landon informed me that we are speaking in church on Sunday! (so not excited about that!) So I have been stressing that for the whole week too! I can't wait till next week is here!

Happy Mother's Day!

2008-05-10T21:03:00.003-06:00

Happy Mother's Day to everyone! I thought it I would just express my love to my mom and my mom-in-law! My mom has been the best mom ever! I love her so much. She has taught me so much! I haven't always been the easiest and best daughter! I am so happy that we have such a great relationship now! We are bestfriends! Thanks for everything you do and have done for me! I hope I can be as good of a mom to my kids as she is to me!

This is Landon's mom, she is so Great! She has also taught me so much! When we lived with them for about a year, I learned so much about everything! She is truely a good, loving strong person. It is amazing to watch her when all of the family is together. She never lets anyone feel left out and she is always watching out for everyone! And that is a big job when there are 9 kids + spouses + 27 grandkids+1 great grandchild!! I don't know how she does it!

And this is a picture of me with my kiddo's at the zoo, (Dax was sleeping!) I love being a mom! I am so thankful for being blessed with 3 amazing kids. They are my joy. There are definately times that are crazy hard, but every min. is worth it! Today I was sitting outside watching Tim and Laynee playing with their new kitty's (I can't find my camera to take pic.s of them!) and they are so dang cute and innocent. I try to take each moment in and try to capture it in my brain so I won't forget because the time is flying by so fast! I hope my kids know how much I do love them and can't imagine life without them.. Love, love, love my little family!!

We made a DEAL!

2008-05-08T17:16:00.003-06:00

Well I got my chance on the show!! I luckily had an hour break from work right at 11. So I ran over to my mom's house to watch the show and wait for the phone call! When they called me I got really nervous!! I don't know why, it was all over the phone! But my first choice was purse #3 and it was a collection of cookbooks... and if you know me I don't cook that much and already have like 2 cookbooks, which is plenty for me! So, I took a second chance with #4 and it was a make-up lesson with the make-up artist from ksl. I hear she is really good at her stuff! So I am excited for that! So for all of you who want a chance go to http://sudio5.ksl.com/ and enter the contest! I entered like 20 times! So keep trying and they will call you!! There are still some really great prizes! I was a little disappointed I didn't win the Engh Gardens $1000.00 shopping spree. They have really cute patio furniture!! Well good luck if you try!

DO WE HAVE A DEAL?

2008-05-07T13:57:00.002-06:00

So, just wondering? Do any of you watch Sudio 5? It is a morning show at 11 o'clock on ksl. Well they are doing a game called "DO WE HAVE A DEAL" and they are giving away some really cool prizes! Anyway, I have been entering everday and one of the producers called me today!! So tomorrow, 5/8 I get a chance to play on TV!! Yea so stay tuned and I will let ya'll know what happens!!

Tag From Talia!

2008-04-29T20:44:00.002-06:00

1. Where did you meet? I met Landon when I was in the second grade! I totally remember the day I saw him walk in the school. My friends and I would follow him and his friends around the school singing, "The Bonner Bunch, The Bonner Bunch!!" I had a crush on him the whole year untill he got mad at me for calling him all the time and bugging him. He told me to go for his little brother, Brad, so I did for quite a while!

4. Where was the first time you kissed this person? We kissed on our 2nd date. We went to Phantom of the Opera, he kept saying he couldn't keep his hands off me! He totally wanted me! So on the way home we pulled off the road and talked for a long time and then I totally put the move on him! Which was not my character at all! But it was good!

5. How did he as you out? I saw Landon at the airport when Van Kelly was leaving on his mission and Landon told me he was trying to get back with his old girlfriend and was taking her to Phantom. (which I wanted to see really bad) So one day he came into the 1-stop and I asked him how it was, and he said he hadn't gone yet. So I told him he could take me if he wanted to! He said, "I will if no one else can go!" SO I was all mad, but he had already asked 2 other girls! But then I was all mad and he must have felt bad... But I played hard to get and that made him try really hard! So at my graduation my family took me out to eat at Yodels and he was our waiter, and after we finished eating he came over and asked me out!

6. Where did you go for your first date? We went to Tepenaykies (I know I spelled that wrong). Where our Chef kept spilling stuff and got every thing wrong. Then we went to Jonny B's. It was an Elvis inpersonater. He was awfull. Everyone was getting up and walking out! Everything kind of sucked except... being with Landon!

7. How long did you know this person before you became a couple? Well the second time around after we started dating it was right after that first date!

8. Has this person ever proposed to you? Yes, I was supposed to heading back to Cedar, where I was going to SUU. Landon told me we had to go for a ride before I left, so we went for a ride up Snake Creek. It was the perfect day the trees were all covered in snow. We hike up the hill in snow up to our waists. Then he asked me to marry him... then when we got back to the car he sang me the song, From Here to Eternity! It was very sweet, and the day before Valentines!

16. Where do you see each other in 15 years from now? Our youngest will be 15 and we will be traveling the world! I will be 43 and Landon will be 46! WoW that is crazy!!

2008-04-25T19:30:00.002-06:00

I thought these were really cool pictures! Landon & I both have green eyes and some how all of our kids have ended up with blue eyes! Laynee's are very blue! I love hers so much! Dax and Tim's are great too, they both have a greenish circle around the middle! Ya, I know this is a very random post! But that's a little fact about our family!

Dax is 6 months!!

2008-04-21T15:26:00.002-06:00

Yea! Dax is 1/2 a year old! He is getting so big! Dax has been rolling around for quite awhile now. He is starting to scoot along, he's pretty good about going backwards... but can't seem to go forward yet! He is starting to eat baby food. I love to listen to him as he eats....(mmm, mmm, mmm!)
He is a very fun baby. I would have to say he is the happiest baby of ours! He will sit and giggle @ Tim and Laynee. They love to entertain him, sometimes they even fight over him.

It is really fun to see him playing. He can sit in the middle of his blanket with toys around him and play for quite awhile! It is nice to have something he can do besides: eat, sleep and poo! I am so excited to see him change with each new stage. I have finally learned to appreciate each stage and not to hurry and wish for the next one!

Potty Training!

2008-04-16T11:37:00.002-06:00

Yea! Laynee has finally gotten it! She has gone almost a whole week without peeing in her panties! She has even been wearing big girl panties! It is really a proud moment for a mother! We have been trying for about 5 or 6 months!!! (lol) Now if anyone has any advise on getting her to "POOP" in the potty... that would be great!
Today she went in all by herself and went to the bathroom. I hear the toilet flushing and went in and she was all done and putting her pants back on! That is so GREAT!! Laynee girl is getting to be so BIG!!

Tim's Buzz

2008-04-15T14:09:00.002-06:00

I decided that I wanted to grow Tim's hair out. We tried it last year and there was just enuf curl that it looked really cute, but now it is just really straight! So Sunday night we asked him if he wanted to buzz it off like Daddy's and he was totally for it!! So I hurried and got out the clippers and off it came. I can't believe how long it was!! I measured about 3 inches!!

Nice Face!! He actually did really good and didn't even mind the itchiness!
WOW! Much better huh!?! He is such a little poser! He is def. our most photogenic child!

TALK ABOUT LIVIN!!

2008-04-06T20:29:00.006-06:00

Last year for Landon's and our brother-in-law Brandon's birthdays they got Skydiving tickets!! Finally they decided to get it booked and go! It was a day that will not be forgotten anytime soon! It was fun to watch Richard pace around and wait for his "boys" to jump out of the plane not knowing if the chute would open. Landon said on the way to Ogden that he was excited to do it but wasn't sure what to expect, but after he was back on the ground he said that he cannot wait to do it again. Next time I will definately do it with him! However, we did hear that there was a skydiver that was flying Tandem and they died this weekend. I am very thankful it wasn't anyone from our little group! As I was standing there watching them decend I kept thinking open, open, open....then when the chutes did open I was thinking now just hurry and land!! It's crazy how it is so thrilling but it really only took about 30 min. for the whole experience! (stay tuned for a video of the whole experience!!)

Birthday Kids

2008-03-29T15:38:00.005-06:00

Tim and Laynee's birthdays are 1 week apart. Tim turned 5 and Laynee turned 3. On Laynee's birthday we went down to Build-A-Bear! If anyone has gone there they know how crazy fun it is! Laynee picked this pink kitty and named her Princess Kitty. Thanx to Grandma Peggy she has about 6 complete outfits! Laynee is very much into Cinderella. She has 2 big dolls and they had a birthday party with her! Cake and everything!
This is Laynee's collection of Cinderella dolls! (the one's she could find!)
Laynee got her very own "Dancing Barbie" cake. She was very excited that it was PURPLE & PINK!! I think this was her 1st "official b-day cake" since her birthday is so close to Tim's I would just let them share! Who wants to have birthday cake for 2 weeks straight!?

This is Princess Kitty and Tim's bear is "Batman" he also got a few little outfits! Don't ask me why his name is Batman, cuz none of the clothes are Batman!!
Little Princesses! Laynee was so cute - when she woke up in the morning she came running to me and said, "Today is my birthday I am free!" She had a great day... I am glad it is finally over. She started saying it was her b-day everyday since Tim's was over!

Tim had a little party on his b-day. He had 2 of his friends from school and his cousin Jake come over and we went to "Hortin Hears a Who" it is a great show! I love cartoon movies, so I like to take my kids when ever I get the chance!!

He had a Batman cake and Batman everything!! It was a fun week!

Happy Easter!

2008-03-22T11:54:00.003-06:00

Springtime?!?

2008-03-17T12:59:00.005-06:00

This is Chesney and Dax's little legs and toes! They were having a great time on Sunday. Dax was all over her. He was trying to suck on her fingers and pulling at her, I think she might be a little scared of him!! It is so fun to see them together. They are only a month apart.
This is Camille she is their cuzin too! She loves to play with babies! She is the first one to come and take them off your hands!! She's going to have a baby sister in about 3 more months!! We are so excited to have another baby in the fam!!
This is Dax hanging out in his new Ducky Tub!!
He had a blast splashin around in it!!

Saturday Jessica & Kelsey Clyde took Laynee, Dax and Me to the Princesses on Ice. It was so cute! My camera wouldn't work.. of corse the batteries were dead! But Laynee was all dect out in her Cinderella Dress. She sat on the edge of her seat the whole time, with her cotton candy in one hand and her cinderella doll in the other! My favorite was just watching her sing along!!

We have made it tradition to go to the zoo every year in the spring!! We went last Wed. with Amber & Tanner Swenson. We had so much fun, despite the cold & the close encounter with the buffalo!
Tanner, Laynee & Tim loved riding the train!!

Colorado Convention

2008-03-06T06:10:00.002-07:00

So these are the girls.. Erin (Thacker) Boyer, Torry Moncivias, Jackie Bonner, Lesa Day, Juliette Martin, Bev Visentin and myself! We spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday at our annual aerobics convention. It was so much fun! There are some amazing instructors out there. We got to Colorado Springs at about 4 on Friday. There were 3 classes that night, they were really fun! These were the classes that made it seem like Termain. We basically learned 3 different dances! It also kind of took me back to cheer try outs! 3 hours of intense learning and practicing. Saturday went from 9 - 12, then Erin and I ran back to feed our babes! Then we rushed back from 1 - 4! It was kinda crazy running back and forth but it worked! Then we all got dolled up and went out to Macaroni Grill. And to top off our fitness weekend we stopped at Cold Stone for some yummy fatning ice cream! Sunday we got up bright and early and finished our weakend with 3 more hours of training! When we were done on Sunday, we all ran back to our hotel and got ready to leave. We had a late checkout ... so there were 8 girls in one room trying to shower and get ready at the same time! Plus 2 babies!! It was caos.
When we got to Colorado we had to wait over 2 hours for our rental cars. Erin and I took our babies.... Erin's baby girl Ella, is such a good baby. I thought Dax was a good baby, but she never cried .... Dax he cried on the way to the airport, on the plane, on the way up to Colorado Springs... But it wasn't too bad! I was just glad that I was able to go, it was really fun taking him, I think I would have gone crazy if I had left him home! I was so glad that Erin brought her baby too, we had fun packing them everywhere. I think the babies had fun too, they would lay on the beds and coo at each other! We had a great time! This is me doing a kick boxing class by Janis Saffell. She is amazing. She has the perfect body and so much energy. Someday I will be like her!!!

This is my little buddy. We are waiting to get on the plane. He did so good on the way home. He slept and played slept a little more. I was really suprised how smooth things went. I have never traveled with kids - without Landon, but it all went really smooth. Thanks to all the girls for their patients and help!

Tagged

2008-03-05T12:12:00.002-07:00

Okay, I have never done a tag before but since Amber asked for it here ya go...

Rules:

#1 - List 7 things that are unique about you.

#2 - Pass it on to 7 friends

*************************************

#1 - I love working out! Once I get into it, I love to sweat so the harder I work the better. It usually takes me awhile to actually sweat, so once I start I hate to stop! Last weekend in Colorado was so much fun... We worked out 12 hours in 3 days! I felt like I was at Termain!

#2 - I love vacationing! (who doesn't) But my favorite place is the Grand Wialea in Maui! It is the perfect place. There are 7 or 8 different pools, then right across the sidewalk is the beach! Everything is right there at the resort!! It is so beautiful. I really missed out this year!

#3 - I love to snuggle with my kids in a warm fuzzy blanket. I would rather snuggle with Landon but he hates it! He gets too HOT!

#4 - I love to watch movies! I don't really care what kind... Disney, Scary, Romance, Comedy anything really... I like any kind. I really like going to the theater, but haven't made it for awhile!! Maybe this weekend?

#5 - I love the smell of Baby Magic on babies. Every morning Dax gets a rub down and everytime we go out of the house. It smells so great! I especially love it when I come home and Landon has rubbed Dax down... mmmm... so yummy!

#6 - I love boating and wakeboarding! Before I had my children I was actually getting pretty good. But lately I am lucky if I can even get up! Hopefully this summer I will get to try it again. I think every other summer I have been prego, or had a little baby. So yea I can get back to it this summer!!

#7 - I love to go on date nights with my Lanypoo! We don't get to do it alot especially with a non bottle taking baby! He has to come along. But that is one of my fav. things spending alone time with Landon! We have a great time!

So there ya go, maybe someone learned something new about me!! SO now I am going to tag... Erin, Marie, Mandy D, Shelley, Mimi, Maria, Lesa

Dancing Queen!!

2008-03-03T20:41:00.002-07:00

The Waspettes did thier annual "little waspette camp" and Laynee wanted to do it this year!! She was so funny to watch! The night of the performance when she was getting ready she had to put on her dancing tutu. She wouldn't take it off. She wanted a little extra attention I think!!

Right before her little group was supposed go out she got all scared and started to cry, so I didn't think she would end up doing it. But at the last min. she wanted to go! She did awesome too! When she was out on the floor dancing I almost started to cry! She is so big! Shelley's little girl is in this picture too. She is the dark haired girl in the back row. It was fun to see her... and you too Shelley!

This was her getting ready to go. Good Luck!!

This is all the girls warming up, I think there was at least 100 girls! I thought it looked a little caotic, but they did a great job with all the girls!

Reading Books!

2008-02-22T13:41:00.003-07:00

So the other night when it was bed time I told Tim and Laynee to go and pick out a book to read, so they ran off and I didn't hear them for a long time. So I went to check on them, and his is what I found: they were lying in Laynee's bed reading (looking) at the pony book! It was so cute!
After I read this pony book I read them a book called "Scamp." After I finished Tim wanted me to read it again but I told him to read it instead... He pretty much said it word for word. He has got a very photogenic memory.

This picture was taken one day when we were leaving my parents house. Can you believe all this snow? It is snowing again today!! I wish I was back in high school when we would all go skiing every weekend. That was the best and you would want it to snow everyday!! I think I have only been 1 time since I graduated! It was when I went with my roomies from college! (Marie, Mandy, Christina... do you remember?) That was a fun time!!

Happy Valentines!!

2008-02-09T21:26:00.001-07:00

Happy Valentines to you all. I am so blessed to have Landon in my life. He is my #1. He is the very best friend I have ever had. We have so much fun together! The little things that make me laugh, the way he helps me everyday, and when he kisses me after a lemon treat... ooh baby! He's the best! He always seems to know when I have had enuf and he steps in and helps me out! Having 3 kids isn't easy and I couldn't do it without him! Every year on Valentines it is the State Wrestling Tourny, so we hardly ever get to spend it with each other. It is his favorite thing after me (right, babe??) So hopefully you all can spend your Valentines with your lovers!! We will catch up later! I love you so much Landon, Thanx for choosing me!!

If you know Laynee her hair is always CRAZY!! No matter how many times a day I fix it!! But she is truely my little princess! Her favorite words lately are.. "It's so beautiful!" and "that is wonderful!" Don't ask me where she gets it? She is so excited about her new "potty chart!" and is rapidly filling it up with stickers!! YEA finally! She really wants to go to Chuckee Cheeses when her chart gets full. That is her reward! It is crazy how they get it in their little heads and then all of a sudden they are pretty much potty trained!

At least they love each other! You can ask them who their best friend is and they always say each other.....aww! The other day we took all the pillows and cushions off the couch and they made boats out of them and played all day on them. The funniest part is when they made a circle with the pillows and ended up wrestling in the middle!! Does it suprise any one that Laynee usually ends up on top!?!
Dax is starting to get his 2 little bottom teeth already. He goes crazy sucking & chewing on his fists! He is quite the little chatter box. This morning I was so tired, and he was a wake so I layed him on a blanket on the floor, so I could try to lay down for a few more min. He was just a talking and singin.. I couldn't sleep but it sure was funny. He did it for about an hour! He is going to give Tim a run for his money!! (Tim is a chatter box too!)

With a new year comes new goals,

Our goal is to spend more time with the people we love!

Christmas Time!

2008-01-04T10:41:00.000-07:00

Every Christmas Eve we go around to the cemetary's and put candles on graves. It is so cool to back after dark and see all the graves lit up, there are hundreds! This year it was like a blizzard while we were out!

Christmas morning was so fun at our house! Laynee woke up first and Landon told her to go see if Santa had come. So she ran in the living room and 30 seconds later came running back, "He did He did!" Then she climbed back into bed and went to sleep for about 10 min. Then we couldn't take it so we woke everyone up and started our day!

Laynee wanted a baby, princess stuff and a flower! Santa did very good!

Tim wanted Power Ranger stuff and a bucking horse! Santa found a Power Ranger R/C fourwheeler. It is really cool.

We had a very fun day going to both grandparents houses and playing with all of our new toys!! Grandpa Pete's family got a new snowmobile! It is really cool we all had fun riding it too!

Bonner Christmas Party!

2008-01-04T10:29:00.000-07:00

Every year we have a Bonner Family Party. The grandkids (27) all draw names and the adults do white elephant gifts. The white elephant part has gotten quite fun, usually one person is targeted and made fun of some how. One year Landon made fun of Scott with a 2nd place medal and a picture of a kid that beat him in a wrestling match. Then the next year a bunch of them made a poster of George Castanza where he is posing in his underwear and put Landons head on it. Oh boy!! It has gotten a lot of attention!! I think it was even raffled at a wrestling fundraiser auction!! We had a lot of fun, this year the big item was a "Cuddle Sutra" book. It was really funny! We all ate a lot of good mexican food and had fun spending a little time together!

Merry Christmas!!

2007-12-15T12:06:00.001-07:00

Christmas is coming so fast! We are so excited at our house! We went to get pictures taken for Dax and I am sure that everyone knows or should know that Kiddie Kandids is the craziest during holidays!(We always seem to forget!) But we spent most of the day there.. I think it was 4 hours. We had to keep taking breaks so Dax would cooperate! But it does pay off to have patience. They turned out really cute. While we were waiting Tim and Laynee got to go and see Santa! They were excited because he was the "REAL" one! Tim wanted his dad by his side because he "was scared just a little bit!" Tim wants Power Rangers & a cowboy with a bucking horse! Laynee is funny she wants a flower?, Babies with bottles and blankies! We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

Timothy Pete *

2007-12-08T10:14:00.001-07:00

Tim is such a fun kid. He loves to be in the spotlight. It's amazing how he can get the attention in a crowd. He has had so much fun living next to his Grandpa. Tim would get up in the morning and get dressed and then run over to "see what Pete's doin!" Tim met his best friend Miller Wright at pre-school. They hung out after school almost everyday! He loves being around his friends. Now that we have moved Tim has a new best friend, Tyson Clyde... (we need some pictures of them) They are always playing, running back and forth to each others houses! They love playing dress up... batman, spiderman, hulk everyday they are someone different! It is so fun. Tim loves playing soccer! Especially when he makes a goal! One Saturday morning the sprinklers came on in the middle of the game. The kids went crazy... It was hard to get them to actually play again! Tim is very excited about Christmas this year. He wants monster trucks and games! It is so much fun getting ready for Christmas, Tim is always singing songs and dancing around.

Laynee Girl!

2007-12-08T09:48:00.001-07:00

Laynee is quite the little princess! She is the sweetest girly girl! She had so much fun dancing at Uncle Ryans wedding! Laynee & Audrey (Joey &Aryica Probst's daughter) had fun twirling & playing ring around the rosies! Laynee plays so hard everyday & then always crashes about 4 or 5 o'clock. She loves her big bro Tim. She will follow him around and copy everything he does, it's very funny to watch! She really can't wait to be a mommy! She gets her babies and takes them everywhere. She makes sure they are in their car seats whenever we go somewhere, and she never forgets to feed them, just like mom feeds Dax! She has a great imagination!

Watching Dax Grow!

2007-12-08T09:11:00.001-07:00

Dax is growing so fast! It is so fun to see him smile now. He is definately a happy boy! He sits up in his little bumboo chair and almost giggles. It is so cute. He loves his brother and sister! If he is sad and crying Tim will run over and start singing a christmas song and he will stop crying and look at Tim like he is his hero! Cute little kids!

Winter Time!

2007-12-07T16:30:00.001-07:00

It is finally starting to look like winter around here! The first snowfall Tim & Laynee had to go out and play! They even talked their dad into helping build a snowman. It only last a couple of hours before they had it knocked over! Also these are some pictures of Dax when he was first born and the 1st day out of the hospital! It is so amazing how they change every day!

Cutest Cousins!

2007-12-05T12:54:00.001-07:00

This is Daxton. He was born October 20th. He is such a sweet baby boy. He was definaly a suprise. When I got my ultra sound they told us we were having a girl. But I still had a suspicion it was going to be a boy. So when we went to the hospital I actually packed a boy and a girl outfit. When the baby was born the doctor said "It's definately not a Lilly!" So we were really excited that we got another little boy! The other baby is Chesney Bonner. She is Brad and Natalia's baby. She was born November 15. She is a beautiful baby girl!

Hanging Out in Maui!

2007-12-05T12:32:00.001-07:00

This was in January when we were in Hawaii. We had such a good time. We were starting to make it a tradition to go every January - But we aren't going this year, we thought it might be kind of hard with a new baby. So maybe again next year!

Maui, Hawaii 2007

2007-11-08T09:33:00.001-07:00

This is a slide show of when we were in Hawaii. Tim learned how to swim all by his self. He is getting so big. He met another boy there and they played all the time. It was really fun. The pools at the Grand Wailia are so amazing. We just stayed there and played all day. The pools were right next to the ocean. So we could go both places. Landon and I went out on the kayaks and went snorkling. We saw huge sea turtles! We also went snuba diving, it was really cool. We hope to back soon!

Welcome to the Bonner Bunch Blog! Our family has been growing so fast lately. Landon & I have been married for 7 1/2 years now! After 3 years we had our first son, Tim. He has been such a fun kid. He is in preschool and loving every min. of it. He is going to start his first year of wrestling! 2 years after he was born we got our princess Laynee. She is all girl. She loves playing barbies and ponies and anything to do with princesses! And just last month they were so excited to get a new baby brother. He came to join our family on October 20, 2007. He is such a sweety. He was a huge suprise for us too. We were told we were going to have a girl at our 20 week mark. So we were totally expecting a little girl, but we were surprised with a cute little boy. We ended up leaving the hospital without naming him! Three days later we came with Daxton Landon! Now our family feels complete! Life is crazy getting used to having another person. It is amazing how much things change in so little time.
