Soon To Be Homesick!

Well we have had quite the busy time trying to pack a summers worth of adventure in to a few weekends! First it was mothers day and our anniversary so what did my loving husband give me? A point shoot camera! I guess I did it backwards most people start out small and go big. I have gone big and now have small and I must say I am enjoying it!

The first thing on our list was to go see Grandpa Thuesons horses! Jowin really loves animals, both great and small! She can't drive by a cow with out mooing and she can't walk past a bug with out shouting "a bug!" and getting down to inspect it!



What a cheeser she is! It cracks me up every time!




Feeding and petting Grandpas horse Magnafire! He is beautiful! This is one of the 8 horses grandpa has for us to ride! She wasn't quite ready to ride him this time. But next time she will be!




After seeing one grandpas horse, we went to see her other grandpas horse!

We hit up Cokeville Wyoming on Saturday with my big brother Ty! My parents have a ranch there and we took some our stuff up to the cabin to store. Just as I predicted Joey LOVED it! What with a river, a dog and a horse what more could she ask for.....


Jowin loves dogs and K9 was really good with her!



Oh yeah, her first driving lesson! You'll have to excuse my talking, I am new at this whole point shoot video feature. (it rocks!)






Than it was off to Gateway, for a wet and wild night with our good friends the Youngs!
I guess it was finally hot enough for her to venture into the fountain and needless to say she loved it! She was just soaking wet and her little trousers were totally see through! But it was a good time and they dried fast!





Little Kyler getting fresh! He is three and such a cute kid! he has known Jowin since birth and no this isn't their first kiss, but I think it might be their last!!



Like mama like daughter, we know how to party! And don't mind dancing in public!






So I guess my next post will be from LOndon! Since we leave tomorrow! I can't believe it is finally here!
Cheers!

Happy Happy Happy Anniversary! Can you believe it has been three years since Kev and I tied the knot! We have had so much happen it is hard to believe it all started over 4 years ago up at Utah State. It was the first week of school so there were a lot of activities going on and I was making the rounds at all of them when at one I saw this guy sitting up against the wall just sort of observing the madness and I thought "Oh wow who is that?!" After a few more sightings we were introduced at a party, very briefly, Kev didn't stay long, but his friends did. So after a few days of hanging out with his friends, waiting and hoping to see him, I did. Up at the patio at school he came walking by and before I knew it I was yelling his name and telling him to come over! The funny thing is is I don't even think he remembered my name, but he played along and was a good sport. After a few more days of hanging out at the patio he took my phone and put his number in it. So when I got up to leave for class I had a text from Kev! I didn't listen to a thing in my class just texted the whole time. (sorry dad for the phone bill!) We arranged to meet up after my class and go up to a bbq. Which we did and where Kevin ditched me to go hang out with another girl he had made plans with! Needless to say I about died! But a few days after that he finally got with the program and after a few more hang outs he finally asked me out on a date! We went to Bluebird resturant and it was terrible than we were going to go to a movie but in Logan you have to pay cash at the theater and Kev didn't have it and by the time we hit the atm and went back it had already started! Not exactly a dream date but I was on cloud nine just being with him!



So a month after that we were in LOVE! although I think I fell much sooner!
Three months after that were were engaged!




and Five months after that were were married! It rained so hard on our wedding day that we got stuck on the temple steps waiting for umbrellas!





than of course there are the cheeseburgers we ate before our dinner.



Than of course my almost passing out at dinner and my mom having to loosen my dress so I could breath! Our first dance to Neil Diamond! and our exit in our matching sweat suits!






It was the perfect day! and I have to say I still think Kevin is the most handsome man I have ever seen! And I love being married to him! I love thinking about those days we were dating. Like when he told me he liked me more than juji fruits and that he really likes Juji fruits!!
Thanks Kev! Thanks for all the loves and all the laughs! And thanks for taking me to Europe like you promised you would!!!

My Little Girl?

Is it just me or is Jowin growing up way to fast? I guess I am not helping matters by round brushing her hair at the ripe old age of 20 months. But really it looks too cute not to right?

We took these last Saturday so Kev was home and making her laugh and stick her tongue out and touch her nose and sing happy and you know it! It was cute!

My MOM 6.0!

SURPRISE! There ain't no party like a Frisby Surprise party! So back in March Eryn starting thinking this was a big Birthday year for my mom, 29 again... or 60 which she will get really mad that I used her actual age! Sorry mom. Anyway after many conference calls and so many emails we got the party planned and surprised my mom good!







We had ALMOST all the siblings there, except for my oldest sister Mindy whom we missed, but had her two handsome boys there instead! There are 9 of us in case you are wondering!





The waiter offered to take the pictures and I was like no thanks I have a remote, but everyone gave me a hard time so I ended up giving in, against my better judgment too. So this is what came out.... I've had better...





Waiting to get the party started, we had a private room for our 5 course meal. and I made a slide show.



My handsome nephews, now 19 and 17! Still not used to that! They flew up from AZ for the big event.




Bindley thought Ty was a crack up! She has to be the happiest baby I have ever seen. She laughs so loud for someone so small. It was adorable. Dawnelle flew in from WI for the party!





It was an awesome week, even though Eryn ended up missing her 6:20am flight the next morning it was well worth the time and the travel prep. It was so fun to get together with my family, the last time we were all together was for my wedding so it has been a while! I love them and I love my mom and hope she had a WONDERFUL birthday!!!! She deserves it!

Look at HIM!

I found these pictures on my hard drive and thought they were so cute!
Look at Kev, could he be any cuter!! Joey looks so much like him I think! I love it!

New Season.. New camera!

So Kev was sweet enough to buy me a new camera! And I must say I LOVE it!






We went to Ikea a while ago and I saw a bunch of blossom images printed on canvas. I think I am going to try it with these. When I finally have a permanent place to live that is!!

Let the Count Down Begin!

We only have four weeks left! Time to start preparing.... What do we need again? rain jackets and walking shoes? Check and Check.. But if anyone has any other suggestions let me know! We have to pay a fee to take a second bag so I better fill it with things that are worth taking... or maybe take an empty extra bag and fill it up while I am over there!




this will be Kev (the guy in front all dressed up) going to work everyday! Doesn't he look handsome!!

We Went to the Animal Fair! {hogle zoo}

The birds and the bees were there!



The big baboon by the Light of the moon




Was combing His auburn hair. The Monkey bumped the skunk




and sat on the Elephants trunk. the Elephant sneezed




And fell to his knees, and what became of the Monk


The Monk, The Monk The Monk!

Animals, Animals and more Animals!

We went to Logan this weekend and it was Baby Animal days! It was really fun! We went on Saturday which was pretty crowded but totally worth it. The sun was shining and we even got to take off out jackets! We were so happy to be outside!






Turns out Jowin wasn't really that into holding the baby animals, she was more interested in the wild ducks in the pond. The tractors that were giving rides and the horses that were pulling the wagons.. Go figure!




And of course there was her ballon! that I ended up popping by accident on the way out to the car! nice mom I know. But no she didn't cry, she was so tired by then end she didn't really know what was going on!







And well it wouldn't have been nearly the party it was with out Grammy and Pa! Jowin is always such a doll around these two I am thinking about either leaving her there or moving in with them... Tough choice!






Oh and I guess there is a reason people don't move their kids into big kid beds until they are at least two.. It is a pain and not worth it! Turns out we will be traveling to England with a pack and play...!

Happy Birthday Eryn!

You rock my world!!

Ready Or NOT!!!

So when we left Logan we sold Jowin's nursery furniture but took the crib until April. Well April is here and oh boy are we in for a change!


So I was freaking out over the situation and figured some new bedding might make me feel better about the switch. Isn't it cute? I am in love with it, it has my most favorite fabric ever, the pink and white polka dot!


Well I am happy to report that she is currently asleep in the bed!!! I laid with her until she fell asleep, and might I add it was not easy! My girl is a little too touchy feely for her own good! (and for mine!)


She was excited when we told her she could sleep in the big girl bed! We will see if it lasts through the night. Otherwise hello pack and play for the next four months!

Essie, Essie, Essie!

Jo is in love with this kid! Ethan is the best big cousin! She loves being around him and doing whatever he is doing! We have been spending quite a bit of time with him since Elliot has come and we both couldn't be happier about it!
So Jen thanks for letting us come and spend time with you guys! We love you!
