Haircuts and a burn

Well with it being so hot here in Vegas the boys get really short haircuts. And it was time to give them haircuts again. All three boys got their haircut. And to top off a nice haircut is always to add a burn to our arms right.

Eric with his nice new haircut and of course a shirt that I found at Old Navy that says his hometown on it.

Jake with his buzz and his new haircut.

Trent with his Superman pj's on and his new haircut.

Well Trent likes to help cook with daddy and he reached his arm over the pan and put his arm on the pan and fried his arm. Luckly we got ice on it right away.



And to top this all off Eric had to pack to go on another training trip again. He left today for Baxter, MN. He will be there till Friday.

4th of July

Well the 4th of July was a fun and exciting time in our family. We always go and see a movie in the morning of the 4th. So we took the boys to see Wall-e. They loved the movie and actually sat through the whole thing.

We then went to the fireworks stand and bought fireworks to light of that night. Another family tradition that we do is we BBQ Tri Tip and have homemade potatoe salad. I made my mom's famous homemade potatoe salad the night before to have for the 4th. It turned out very good. I was amazed that it came out has well as it did. The boys went swimming and had fun that way too. And then we waited to get dark and we went out and light of the fireworks. But of course we needed a lighter stick to be able to do that. So Eric went down to Walgreens to get that and on his way there his white Mazda brokedown. We had to push it to the parking lot and then we went on and got some ice and the lighter stick and went home to finish off the 4th with the fireworks.

The boys really enjoyed this years 4th of July. Of course each year I get them matching shirts for the 4th. Here they are in them.

And this year Trent got daring and wanted to help light the fireworks. Here he is with Grandpa helping him.

And he would run away to watch what happened.

We all love watching the fireworks but I think the boys had more fun lighting them off.

Praxis 1 Test again

I just got my results for the writting portion of the Praxis test. I passed. It may have been by one point but at least I have passed. I know just need to pass my Math portion of the test and I can finish with my schooling. I am on a leave of absence right now because I didn't get the Praxis passed on time. But I am taking my Math portion on the 10th of July and I pray that I pass and maybe I can get back into school right away.

Praxis 1

Well I took my Praxis 1 test today. I was able to pass the reading part put failed the math section by 3 points. And I have to wait for the results for the writing portion of the test. I am hoping and praying that I pass the writing part so the only part that I still have to take is the math again. It will be less expensive this way. But I am just glad that I got it out of the way and just need to get on with the rest of my master's program to be able to become a teacher.

Eric's Birthday

Memorial Day we celbrated Eric's 33rd birthday. It was his day we took him to the movies and we saw one of his childhood icon's. Indiana Jones. It was a great movie and then afterwards we went over to Red Rock for lunch. The boys went into Kids quest because they don't really eat anything when we go to the resturants and this way they get to play and then have food there. We then took Eric over to the Salt Lick Resturant there for some good Texas BBQ. I think he had a great birthday. And then of course he left the next day to go to El Paso for a week. He got back and then left today for Little Rock. Happy Birthday my loving dear husband Eric. I hope that you had a great day.

I have been a bad blogger.

Well alot has happened that I need to post about. At the end of April we went up to Utah for Tim's Graduation from College. It was a great visit. We also got to visit with some of my family while there because I had a cousin that graduated from BYU. One of the great moments was that all of the Bronley cousins were able to play together again. The last time that they were all together was at Thanksgiving. We were able to take some really great pictures of the them all together again.

We are very proud of Tim for finally finishing up with College. Congratulations Tim!

And it was also a great oppurtinity to get a picture of the Brothers and their dad altogether.

The next day after gradutation we all got together at Tim and Mary's and took pictures of the grandkids in the backyard. Wow the backyard was great and had great places to take pictures. We actually got a bunch taken and were happy with them. Don't the boys all look great. Here is the fun with the boys. Jake is 8, Trent is 6, Joshua is 4 and Layton is 2. There was a boy born every 2 years.

And then we add Lizzie who is the cutiest little girl. And Lizzie is 1 and 1/2 almost 2 years old. This is also cute at how the hieghts go up.

And then we took one of them sitting down. This one would be really cute if Trent's hands weren't in front of his face. But I do think that we got one with them all looking. It was really bright there.

Another great thing that came from this trip was that Grandpa fianlly got to hold his granddaughter for the first time since she was born. She didn't like having Grandpa or Uncle Eric come near her. And this trip both of them got to get hugs from her and Grandpa actually was able to have her sit on his lap.

And just for fun here is a picture of Lizzie looking cool in the mall.

I was also able to take my boys by the house that I grew up in and the elementary school that I went to when I was a child. It was a great trip. I did find out that my childhood home was up for sale to bad that we don't live in Utah or have jobs there I would by the house in a heart beat. I have great memories growing up in American Fork. What a great vacation. I can't wait to do it again.

Eric is off to Little Rock again

Well it seems that these last couple of weeks Eric really hasn't been home. He travels for his job now. He went to Little Rock 2 weeks ago and now he is going back there today. Eric just got home from El Paso, Texas yesterday and left for Little Rock again today. The kids are really having problems with this trip. They are worried about Eric because they heard on the news that there is alot of storms that are headed that way. Luckly after this trip Eric will be home for 3 weeks in a row before having to go to Indiana for a couple of days. I love my dear husband and miss him when he is gone but love it when he comes home and I see him with our kids and how much they love him and miss him.
