April-Easter Egg Hunt

Love Easter! My 2nd favorite holiday next to the 4th

of July! I love it even more when it is warm too, just like

this year was...

 We headed out to Hinckley bright and early for their yearly

Easter Egg hunt. It was a blast as usual:)

 I think Camrynn may need a larger bucket...

This was the first year in 7 years that she didn't win

a stuffed animal. A little sad for her, but to be honest I

was glad to not add another stuffed animal to our house:)

It is bursting at the seams with stuffed animals. haha

 Never pass up an opportunity to get a picture of Gene!

 The fam.

7th Anniversary!

Gene and I celebrated our 7th wedding Anniversary the

beginning of April. I don't think we did anything

fun other than go out to lunch. But I will take him

up on food anytime! Every year I look through our photos

trying to find a good one. With both of us. Together.

Let's just say I don't need to search for a good one, I

just need to search for one at all. We are lame, and don't

have any photos of us together!!! Good thing Camrynn took

one of us, or you wouldn't be getting any pictures! I mean it,

I only found one!! Sad. Here's to next year.....

Love that boy:)

March 2012

March brought on:

Our kitten Millie went missing. I blame Gene;)

 We ended up adopting another family member.

Ozzy the dog.

 And the beginning of AYSO soccer!

 Camrynn's team was... eh. Ok;) Soccer makes me stressed.

And it makes me yell alot. haha.

But she loves soccer and she is pretty good at it! Getting better too:)

February 2012

February brought on Superbowl with the Moodys.

Helping Dad with cows.

Soccer Sign-ups.

And Mini Drill!

 February also brought on my 27th birthday! I'm getting old!!!



January 2012

Well January brought absolutely nothing!!! Either that, or I am bad at taking pictures. Because I have nothing from that month:(

 Dad retired from the power plant after 25 (ish) years of working there!!

And I got hired on at Service Drug!!!!!! YAY! That was the best thing ever.

Love that place, love the people:)

WAY behind!!! Bring on 2012! ;)

No you haven't missed Christmas! I am so behind I am just now getting to Christmas 2011!! Sorry! I will now try and catch up to THIS YEAR! But since I print out my blog into a book, I better get crackin:)

Gene's Birthday!

Gene celebrated his 27th birthday on Christmas!

 We try and make it a little more fun by celebrating his birthday after all the Christmas festivities:)

                                                       Happy Birthday Gene! We love you:)

Christmas 2011

Christmas 2011, we got spoiled as usual!

                                 Gene specifically requested a new hat. But not white. And not Utes.

                                                    Camrynn was in a La La Loopsy faze:)

                                       And one of the few family pictures we get each year....

Another table ReVaMp!

I got bored over the summer and wanted to re-do another table.

So I checked out all the local thrift places! Oh wait, there

are none in Delta!! I did go to Deans, but to no avail....

So I checked out ksl and much to my surprise there was

a table for sale! Just like I wanted:) I have been wanting

one with an intricate design on it and I found it! Woot!

 So after looking at it for months and not doing anything about

it, I finally broke down and sanded it. It had like 3 inches of this

hardener on it that made it look absolutely terrible. And I must add,

it was a bugger to sand off. I will never ever ever buy a table that

needs that much sanding!!! Or any at all for that matter. ha. I usually

skip the sanding process and just prime, but I certainly could not on

this such project. So after a full day of sanding, my arms were shaky and

I could finally move on to the priming part, which is easy peasy.

 Primed! Now on to color:) I had already done a

turquoise, red and ivory table. Not all on one table I might

add, 3 seperate tables! haha. So I needed something new...

 I choose a color called Bauhaus Gold from Krylon. When I got

it on I was a bit worried because it looked more like a school bus

then a gold-ish color. Granted I wasn't going for gold, I was going

for the yellow look, I was just worried it was too much!

But after I glazed in all those nooks and crannys, it really calmed it down

and gave my house the pop of color I was going for! I am

so happy with all the detail on it! It looks sooo much better than it did before!

Utes Game!

Usually we go to the Utah vs. BYU game. But since they are

in the Pac12, nobody can afford that anymore. ha. So we

went to Utah vs. Colorado. And the Utes went and lost.

Colorado hadn't won a road game until this day. Pssh. Disappointment.

But we had fun anyways! Here is Randy and Lesa.

 And Kaitlynn and Alexis.

 And Gene and I!

After the game we were treated to some shopping and

dinner to make us feel better! haha

Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving this year was held at my sisters house down

in St. George. This was her first time hosting, and it was awesome!

Good food, good family, good times:)

 We got a few family pictures taken.

 Thought this one was pretty funny. Their was an

ant on the tree and Camrynn was quite concerned! haha

 I slacked off and didn't get many photos. Just of them playing

a little keep away in the yard:)

No family or keep away balls were hurt during this filming.

Close calls, but that was it! haha

Halloween 2011

For Halloween this year Camrynn choose to be her favorite character out

of a book. 'Fancy Nancy'. She is a red headed fancy girl:)

Just like Camrynn!

The lighting is pretty bad since it was 7 in the morning and

dark outside! But she had a great Halloween, and the weather was super

nice so we didn't even have to wear coats! And she made a haul out

here in good ol' Deseret! They sure know how to give treats here:)

Moving

In October we bought out 2nd home. It is located in Deseret

and has a great backyard! I don't have any photos, I will post as

we update the place:)

But Oakley sure didn't know what the heck was going on!

Why are they loading all their stuff into the truck? He thought it

would be best if he loaded himself in the truck so he wouldn't be left behind:)

He had such a look of concern on his face! It was pretty funny:)

We wouldn't leave him behind!! 

Camrynn's first friend party!

Camrynn got to have her very first friend party this year, and

boy was she thrilled! She invited 8 of her closest friends and all

of them were able to come. We didn't plan much, just let them run around

the park and then had cupcakes and ice cream and opened presents!

They all were sent home with their own goodie bag filled with

princess things, of course, and a balloon:)

 Here she is opening all her gifts! She got so many good things!

 And here are all the cute girls!

Everything went off without a hitch, except the park had a bee problem.

Which made for alot of high pitched screaming:)

Winner!

Back in September Delta Elementary was participating in a

statewide contest. All you had to do was bike or walk to school

for 4 days each week. Since Camrynn obviously couldn't walk the

7 miles to school;) haha. They counted the out of towners as

playing outside 4 days each week. Easey Peasey. So you filled it

out on the calender and sent it in to the school at the end of the month.

Well a bunch of time passed and then one day Camrynn comes

toting this box home from school. I wondered what the heck it was.

Well we opened it up and she had won (out of 4,000 kids statewide) a new helmet

and a new BIKE!!! Well a $75 gift card to buy a new bike! She was so thrilled,

and so were we! She got her picture taken and was in the local paper and everything.

She was the only one out of the whole school to win anything!!

Way to go Camrynn!!!

Camrynn's 7th Birthday!

 Camrynn turned 7 in October! And boy did she get spoiled:)

She got one of her favorite books. Notice the similiarities?!?

 Look at the haul! Grandma and Grandpa Pace spoiled her

with all the princess baribies! It was just what she wanted:)

Here she is holding up her preemie pjs!

Hard to believe those were big on her!

She sure is growing up too fast:(

A Ride in the Big Rig

 Gene's dad drive for Great Basin Dairy Group and drives through Delta.

One day we were heading to Beaver on the day he was driving through.

So he stopped and picked up Camrynn and let her ride with him:)

 It was all she talked about for days!!

September 2011

September brought on the Pace Family Reunion at our Ranch.

We thought it was going to turn out terrible because all it

did was rain all day on Friday, but the rest of the weekend was divine:)

 Camrynn learned how to shoot Brendan's bow:)

 Here is most of the grandchildren!

 We discovered my brother Mikes real talent. Calling Cows:)

 All he had to do was yell 'Come Cows!' and they all came running!

 Aw. Nothing like a camping picture when we all look our best!

 They are getting a kick out of Mike's cow calling abilities:)

And Oakley enjoyed the reunion too! What a better way to get around?
