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!!

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.

A Fun Contest!!!!

My cute friend Marci is having a contest on her "Mady Sunshine" Blog. She is giving away the cutest fall pillow that she made. Marci is an amazing stitcher. I don't know if that is a word,but she is AWESOME!!! So go to her blog and tell her I sent you over there and maybe you will win this cute pillow. I have to say I hope I win too, because I would love to have something that Marci made, especially a fall item. Because Fall is my FAVORITE time of year!!!!

School Has Started - Junior High here come Zach Attack

Zachs first day of 7th Grade was Friday. I cant believe that this day has finally come. I have been dreading this day all year. But he is excited. He was up and going before Jason and I were up. This year he will ride the bus. I dont know if that scares me more then him being at the Jr. High.

All ready to go!!

Summer Has Ended

I know, I know I have not posted for over a month. July and August have gotten away. So I thought I would just give a quick review of what we have been doing.

Had family Lagoon Day. Zach took a friend this year and we did not see him most of the day. It is sad when they grow up, but he had a blast hangin out with his friend Ben and his older cousins.

Two Backpacking Trips
Zach and Jason ventured out with the scouts a couple of times on backpacking trips up in the Uintas. They had TONS of fun. Even thought Zach did not want to go the second trip, he was glad that he went.

Pioneer Activity.
The ward had a GREAT Pioneer activity where we all made dutch oven dishes. I made Red Potatoes with seasoning on them. They were Yummy!!!

Young Womens
Yes, I am back in Young Womens. I have been called to be the Personal Progress Coordinator. The ward has not had one for a couple of years, but the President (Debi Lee) thought it was important that there was one. So I was called. The girls are AMAZING!! Alot of them have been working very hard and are almost done.

Happy Birthday To My Bestest Friend

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my BEST Friend: Julyanne Eldredge Colt.

Julie and I have know each other since we were 5 years old. We have been thru thick and thin.
We have had great times together. Sneaking out at nigh. Liking the same boys. Going to girls camp together and played the best practical jokes ever. Julie, remember what we did to Sister Snow? Roommates in College, and the most recent things that we do, is go scrap booking and stay up all night. We have not done this for a while, but it is in the works to plan again.

Julie comes from family of 8 children. I was always the ninth child. Thanks for letting me be part of your family

Next year when we turn 40 we're going to Disneyland.

Here are a couple of pic of us while growing up. DON'T LAUGH!!!
