Hare Reunion

Okay, so this post is a mile long, but I had so many pictures to choose from. Last weekend was our Hare reunion. We all got a really late start on the day, but once we got there, we had a lot of fun! Andy was in charge of it this year, so he planned a trip up to Kolob. There was swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and bike riding. Our niece, Shelley, rode with us, and she was a lot of help, I was really grateful for her!

Zolene and Carlene in the canoe:

I just thought I would throw in a picture of my "little" tummy. This is what most of you probably look like at 6 or 7 months! I am 13 weeks in this picture.

Randy tried out the kayak first.

Andy tried it out, and didn't do so good on his first try! I think it was just an excuse to get in the ice cold water.

I think the Rushtons enjoyed the bikes the most

These are recumbent bikes that we own. Randy doesn't ever get a chance to ride it alone because the kids love them so much.

We all had fun, and finished our night off with steaks and games. I love family reunions!!

Moving fun....

I have not updated about 4th of July or anything because we have been moving!!! It is so much work, and exhausting, but I am so excited for our new home. It has a pretty big fenced in back yard that the kids just LOVE, and I think it is going to be a life saver to me. We only moved a few blocks away, so we were able to take a few days to get all of our stuff out, which is nice. I will post a few pictures when we get the internet, and when we get settled in a little better. As for now, we are surrounded by boxes. (how does anyone ever do this)? I don't know where to start!!!! Anyway, until next time, I hope you all are having a wonderful summer!!!

Margie is married!!

Randy's baby sister, Margie got married this Friday! It was such a beautiful wedding. Margie looked so beautiful, she was just glowing. We are all so happy for her and Brian! We love them, and we are excited for our new brother-in-law!!!

It's summer time!!!

The other day my kids wanted to go swimming, but we didn't have a pool yet, so we went to run in the sprinklers at Grandma's house on the grass (My yard would just be a big muddy mess). Randy's mom is so cute! She went and got this old tub, and we filled it with water, and the kids had a BLAST!!!

Yes, it's True!!!

We are expecting again! We were going to wait a little longer to tell everyone, but my tummy doesn't agree with that. And one of my sisters decided that the whole family needed to know, so it's out, and not a secret. I am sick and throwing up for the first time out of 5 pregnancies, but we are way excited! I can't believe we will have 5!

It's been WAY too long!!!

WOW! Life has gotten away from me! We have just been busy, I guess, and I haven't even gotten a chance to look at blogs. I promise I will update SOON!

Okay, I really am going to go private for good this time!

I have gone back and forth with the whole going private thing, but I am really going to stick with it now. Before it was a pain for people to have to sign in to look at blogs, but enough people have gone private now, that it won't be that bad. I will add everyone that is on my list already. If you aren't on my list, and you would like to be added to view my blog, please leave me your email address.

Fun with cousins!

The other day Katie had to come to St.George for a dentist appointment for Leah. I told her to bring the others and let them play, because they hardly ever get to see their cousins. They had such a blast together! I am so glad they got to come and play! We did miss Leah though. Also, Katie decided to stay and help me clean and organize the next day. I am SO grateful that she did. She is so talented. She taught me a lot while we were cleaning, and we got most of my house done. I had a lot of fun with her, and I needed the help so bad!!! I have had a lot more energy since then, and I have been able to stay on top of my house work, and finish up the rest of the house. Thank you so much, Katie! You are such an awesome, wonderful sister, and such a good example to me. I love you!

Okay, here are some pictures of the cousins playing:

Broadway Magic!!

I have been singing a lot lately, and LOVING it! Recently I had the opportunity to sing in a talent show called Broadway Magic. It was SO much fun!! We sang Dancing Queen, and did the dance off of Mamma Mia...(never seen the movie).

Here is a picture of us getting ready:
And here is the finished product..... Nice, eh? It was a blast, and we ROCKED the talent show!!!

Going to work with Daddy

The other day Randy had a job in Duck Creek, and so we all decided to go up with him. We had a good time! The kids had fun playing in the snow and watching their daddy work.

Randy got up on this old, crooked ladder 3 stories high to mount the dish. I think it was around 25 ft. in the air. He is so good at what he does. He works really hard, and I am SO grateful for him! Going to work with him and seeing all of the things that he has to put up with and do makes me appreciate him so much more. Thank you, Honey, for all of the sacrifices you make for us. We love you!!!

Happy Birthday Naomi!!

My little girl is 3!! I can't believe how fast time flies. We had a good time. My friend, Shauna, helped me out. She made the cake, and decorated her house all up so that we could have a party for her (It was a stressful day for me). I was so greatful! Naomi and all the kids had a blast. I love you Naomi, I hope you have fun being a 3 year old!

She made this cake and the frosting from scratch!

And all the kids got to make puppets for a fun activity!

Hare Easter Party

This year with the Hare family, we had our Easter party at Randy's sister's house. It was such a blast! The kids had so much fun. Bea and Caren put money in eggs, and the kids try to get the egg with the most money in it. It is the golden egg! Bea hides it really well too. It was fun!

Emma wanted that golden egg SO bad!!! I had to remind her to get other eggs too, or else she wouldn't get anything (one of the big kids usually gets it).
My pictures are backwards, but here is Naomi enjoying her candy.

Daddy helping Briallen enjoy her candy!

Here are a few more of them on the egg hunt:

AND........ Emma found the golden egg!!!!! She was so happy! It had $10 in it! Lucky girl.

This is the kids before the hunt, excited and ready to go.

Bundy Easter Party

This year we had our Dave Bundy Easter party early. We went to Davey and Marylynn's property in Littlefield. We also had the Newt Bundy family there with us. There were lots of fun things to do.

There was an Easter egg hunt,

Skeet shooting,

Paddle boating,

Canoeing,

four wheeling,

and a lot more... It was great to just sit around and visit, and let all the kids play with their cousins. I think everyone in the Cliven Bundy family was there too (minus a couple spouses)! Ammon and Lisa surprised us all and showed up, and Lance and Penny were there too; it was so good to see everyone!
