Sorry Jill

Everyone has been asking what the girls are going to be. This started in July with some friends. Anyway you'll have to wait until tomorrow to see Brikelle and Addi well we tried to reuse a costume.


This is what happened when we put it on Addi. For those who have yet to see this is Addi heading into one of her full blown tantrums.




This is after we dangled a treat in front of her. Needless to say I don't think she is going to be a mermaid. So until Halloween you just have to guess what she is going to be. I will post pictures as soon as I can. We hope to make the Regis and Kelly thing a yearly event for us LOL!

Lake Powell

So this has been a yearly trip with Jason and I. Some may say three weeks a year is too much and with little kids I would agree. But it sure is fun!
Brikelle was by far the cutest fisherman. She did not even notice she never had a hook.

This was the funnest thing about the whole trip. Jason was skiing, I was trying to use and hold steady the camcorder, Michael the driver was watching for rocks. So really no one was watching Jason. But Stacy did notice Jason was giving "thumbs up" to most boaters that means go faster to Stacy it mean he was doing good. So she failed to tell anyone to go faster. Jason was pretty ticked none of us in the boat were paying attention. He needs not to feel bad I almost got ran over by a boat and a skier while Megan was fixing her hair (instead of holding the flag in the air to tell other boaters a person was in the water) I know our family needs to work on a few things :)

Again we left the flag on the house boat so this was our flag for about 2 1/2 hours. Again we need to improve a bit and make sure we have a flag and use it at all times. LOL



thank goodness for shorts the body just ain't what it used to be, ain't what is used to be!



We hiked up to the Indian ruins. It was crazy the water was so low we drove the boat through tree trunks. The willows were taller than us. It was a long hike with two little ones but the ruins were awesome to see.

I walk on water and if you don't believe it I now have a picture to prove it. LOL




This was our last night. Stacy and Levi made ice cream and cobbler. Levi used his boyscout skills and built a great fire with gasoline.

Great times with the family and hopefully again next year!

First and Last time

Well The morning started off good. Brikelle had a sleepover with Holly. So in the morning Addi and I just hung out and played. Around 1:00 I picked up Justin and started our adventure to North Ogden to get Brikelle. Being a great tutor I decided we would ride Front Runner and talk about our environment. Well here is how it went
1. Train leaves at 1:55
2. I am there at 1:35
3. I have no idea where to park
4. Finally I ask and find a place
5. Run to get tickets
6. Get tickets
7. Turn to get on, and the train leaves. W/O us on
So I feed Justin and wait in the cold wind for the next train. The guy working the ticket thing tells me the next train will be in 10 minutes. So we sit and try this again.

1. 2:10 no train
2. 2:20 no train
3. 2:30 TRAIN oh but it sits for about 10 to 15 minutes
4. We are on and riding YAY! Shoot Addi drank all her milk while we were waiting.
5. Addi cries (very loudly)
6. It triggers Justin so he is stimming (Yelling different phrases from his favorite movies)
7. Two business men continue to TRY and sleep.
8. An hour later we are in Ogden because the North Ogden train does run until 6:00pm
9. Wait and Wait for Holly.
10. Addi still crying
11. Holly comes YAY!
She insists we need to go to a pumpkin patch. I look at the time. I need to get Justin back home REAL soon. So I tell her to drive fast and we will pick fast. So we go to the patch and I just pick the first one. Holly and Brikelle take their time walking and looking for the right one. (I reminded Holly that I was hauling these pumpkins back on the train ALONE) so she finally gets one. (I kept saying hurry and Brikelle did not like that...Notice her face you can almost see her getting mad at me) Justin did not want to pick one he just wanted to sit on one! Finally everyone has a pumpkin. Now if we could just pay and leave that would be great...but no the money takers are gone. So instead of taking the pumpkins and running Holly wants to knock on the door and pay. But the person who answers the door does not know the price. (Heart rate increases) FINALLY!

We rush back to her house to get Brikelle's things. Then we race to the station.

This is what I looked like
1 car seat
1 suitcase
diaper bag
Lunch box for Justin's special food
Two sippy cups FULL of milk
two pumpkins
Three kids who are all tired, hungry, 1 is autistic, and we all have to go to the bathroom.
Oh did I mention that my cell phone kept ringing the whole way home. I let Addi play with it so every time it rang I tried to answer which means I had to take it from Addi, which caused her to scream, which triggered Justin to yell (LOUDLY) So I did miss a few calls....oh well.

I am smiling but this was before the train started.

After our hour ride home and a few smarties later, we are in the car headed home.

Wow a first and last for the Rowley clan!

Ha Ha look what I did

I made a purse for Brikelle. I sewed it and everything. I am such a homemaker.



Jason told me I am getting a sewing machine for Christmas so watch out relatives and close friends I may make you something to wear. Maybe matching shirts for a family picture where we all pyramid! OOOOOOHHHHHHH the memories!
