Blog Trauma

Sunday September 28, 2008

Ok this weekend has not been my weekend for the blog. As you can see I have really messed up my blog. My favorite background blog site has been down. It was up for about 5 minutes today, so I tried to download on that Jason really liked and it worked but then all of my side bars moved to the bottom. I even had Debi working on it last night to try a different blog background site. She had a really cute one, but I could not see it when I logged back in, but she could on her computer. I know weird. (thanks for the help Deb) So I have decided to leave it again for the eveing and TRY and work on it tomorrow. If anyone has any tips or other great background blog sites I would love to hear your comments. I have some new post to put on, but I cant until Ihave a cute background. I know weird again.

HELP!!!!!!!

A New Contest

A couple of people that I know have posted this site for a fun giveways. She is giving away a free necklace. The one that she is showing is really cute. It really reminded me of my mother in law in Ireland.

Go to this site and you will see why.

Our Annual Fall Pitcure Taking

Zach and his guitar. For those of you that might not know, Zach has been taking guitar is this last summer, and he LOVES IT. He is more dedicated to it then his piano, but that is ok, because he is learning really fast and that is because of his piano.

I think this is my favorite!!

Zach and Mom.

Mom's two favorite boys.

Debi & Scott's Family

Sunday, September 21, 2008
Each year we go up to the mountains and take family pictures. Usually this is done on Conference weekend, but Jason has been riding his bike up the canyon every week and said that this is the week to take them. So after church we headed up to South Fork Canyon. Debi & Scotts family always joins us. This year we had a hot dog roast and smores. It was a very nice evening. But at the end it got a little cold.

As most of you know, I LOVE this time of year. Each time we are up in the canyon I always wish we had a cabin or some land. I would spend everyone minute we could up their. I love the senery, the smell and just being away from everything.

Thanks Debi for getting some great shots of our family. We love you lots.

Zach the Man

Have you met this handsome boy? If not he is one of the most important people in my life. Today school pitcures came home and when I saw this pitcure, it took my breath away. He is a not a boy anymore he is what his Aunt Liz would say "A Little Man"

Zach has changed so much these last couple of months. Since he has received the Priesthood, he has taken on alot of responsibility and understands what that is. He loves school, (which has never happened) He is more aware that things are going on in peoples lifes. I love it when it is his turn to pray at family prayer, becasue he remembers everything everything good or bad and prays for the bad and gives thanks for the good.

He loves to announce that he has Grandparents serving a mission. He is VERY proud of that. Zach is shy, but when he has something to say, he makes sure he is hears.

Zach we love you lots and you make us very proud.

7th Grade Pitcure

A Rainy Day!! Fall is on its way!!!

September 1, 2008

Monday was Labor Day so we were home. We had Debi and Scotts kids stay overnight, so they could go away for a night for their upcoming Anniversary. The night before at the family party it was really raining and all the kids wanted to go outside,but since the lighting was really bad and we did not want the kids wet in the car on the way home, all the parents said "NO" the next morning it started to really rain again. So Abby, Zach and Dallin headed out. I found whatever rain gear I could find. For shoes they just wend barefoot. It was cold so I hope they do not get sick. I tried to take pitcures of them outside, but it was really dark and my camera just would not get a good pic. So we took these pics of them after they came in. It was a nice down pour and it made really feel and smell like fall. And a little winter. There was snow at the top of Timp.

Here are the boys. They were the first to come in from the cold. They are very wet.
Here is Abby. I think she wins for being the wettest. She even went out for a second "Shower"

Emma got the throw ups in the morning so she could not go outside. She was asleep the whole time. Emma I am glad you are feeling better and the next rain storm we will go out and play in the rain.

Happy Birthday Annie, Emma, Cami, Crystal and Baby Maya

August 31, 2008

Each month the Tolmans get together to celebrate birthday each month. Well at least almost each month. I think there is only two months out of the year that we do not have a birthday. This time it was at Mike(Jason's oldest brother) and Katherines house. There was suppose to be a camp out in the back yard but we were rained out. I mean really rained out. This is always a great time to get together because we ususally dont see everyone all the time since we are all so spread out and very busy with our lives. But it is always nice to know that they are always around for everyone.

Here is little Cami with her new princess ball!!
Aunt Bethany with new baby Maya
Glenda and Nikelle hang out. Nikelle and I have a very funny kindard spirit relationship. What I love about her is she can always make me laugh. Love ya Nikelle

The proud parents. Kim and Tom Tolman. Like I said. Kim is a trooper. She looks great for having a baby 4 days before this pitcure.

Next month there is only one birthday but we will still get togethe as a family. Something we always look forward to.

We can not tell a lie!!! We cut down Grandpa's Tree

While Jason's parents are on their mission, Zach and Jason are in charge of the yard. The front tree has not been doing well for the last couple of years and it was decided that it needed to come down. So one night they went down and went to work. The first night they cut all the branches off and then soaked the trunk over night and then hooked up a chain to Jasons truck and out came the trunk.

Zach loved doing this because he thinks it is super neat to see how the trunk comes out. They did a great job and did not break any sprinklers. So now we are in search of a tree. Jasons dad has given us some suggestions. Now we jus have to find the right one. We will keep you updated.

Here is the tree before it came down.
Zach surrounded by all the branches that were cut off.
The only thing left. The trunk.
Now there is just a nice hole. The camera was dead so they did not get any pitcures of the final project.
