Brinley's Feild Trip 5-13-10

2010-05-17T14:47:00.000-07:00

Okay, I decided to take the day off and go on the last feild trip of the year with Brin and her class. I am sooooo glad I was not having a migrane that day. We walked the trail by the Provo river between Nun's park and Vivian Park. It was a really nice day. Not to cold, not to hot. I tend to get bus sick so I try to keep to the front, well they had more kids than busses and we had to cram. I was glad for the walk and lunch at the park to air out. Here is our little group.

Brinley, Ethan, Justin

Brock is an Angel......

2010-05-17T14:36:00.001-07:00

Brock is finally an Angel..... Grandpa "Goose" has been waithing 12 yrs to coach another Beardall. It has finally happened. It is so nice to see Brock with a twinkle in his eye about something. I love to watch him play ball. He is so good. At his last game on Thursday he got a Stand up Triple. For those of you that are like me and have no clue what that is..... He hit the ball so hard and so far, he made it to third base without sliding. Way to go buddy. Love ya B-Dawg.

Mother's Day/ St. George

2010-05-17T13:33:00.000-07:00

This year for Mother's Day, I was able to get away to St. George without kids. Trent's mom, sisters Heather and I went to Boyd and Shars Condo for the weekend. We had a great time getting pedicures, playing games, eating great food, relaxing at the pool, and not worrying about anything. It was the best Mother's day ever. I got home on Sunday, to a clean house, happy kids and a Shake Weight. Just what I asked for. Monday Trent, me and the kids took my mom to dinner at Brick Oven, We had alot of fun. On the way home, we got pulled over by a Highway Patrol, for 2 week over due plates... Bridge leaned over Trent and said "You arnt gonna rest my daddy ...are ya????" About 2 minutes later, we were on our way without a ticket. But look at my moms eye..... I wonder if the officer wanted to question Trent about that.......

Easter

2010-05-17T13:23:00.000-07:00

This year for Easter, We had dinner and a egg hunt with Trents family down at the Beardall's with Lindy and her kids. Brock decided he was too big this year, that made me sad. We also had a nice dinner, and hunt at my moms house with Shan's family and Dee. Matt and his family were out of town. The kids all got lots of treats, and outfits. I guess Mother Nature and the Easter Bunny forgot to talk, it was sooo cold for Easter and the bunny brought shorts........Sorry no photos. Trent took them all with his new camera and I forgot to get them copied.

Brinley Turns 8!!!!

2010-05-17T12:36:00.001-07:00

This March was a big deal for Brin. She turned 8. We took her and a group of girls to Build-a-Bear in Orem and had her party. It was alot of fun. Brin got a beautiful white dress, Hair piece, Scriptures, jewelry, a Scentsy, books, barbies,etc from all the family and friends. Brin was baptised by her dad and confirmed by her Grandpa George. We had a big lunch at the pavillion at the Stake Center. Love you Brin. We are so proud of you.

2010-05-17T12:34:00.000-07:00

Brinley left her Tonsils at the hospital

2010-02-12T09:45:00.000-08:00

This week Brinley was such a big girl. She has her Tonsils and Adenoids taken out. Over the last 2 years she kept getting Strep. Each year she has been borderline to have the surgery done. When she got Strep again right after New Years we decided to be done with the crap. We had to get up at 4am on Tuesday the 9th so we could be to the hospital in Prove by 6am. By 7:30 they had her ready to go. The staff was so good to her and made it so she was not too scared. By 11am we were on our way home. Dr Parsons did the surgery and was great. Brin so far has not had any problems. Her dad is home this week with her being a great nurse. Bridgette is her "servant" and she is not afraid to tell everyone. Brock is struggling because he can not tease Brin like he loves to do and Bridge does not take his crap. Love you Brin, You did great.
Brin and Daddy before.....
This was right before her meds kicked in. She was so funny. They gave her some stuff to relax her. She kept looking at us funny, then the nurse came in with a hairnet, brin tried to put it on herself, she finally pulled it over her face and leaned over to the nurse and said "I'm Looped". It was great.

Brin sleeping after. The first thing she said when she woke up was "Where is the remote". she did not want to watch what we had on, and she loved the hospital remote.

New Years

2010-02-08T12:51:00.001-08:00

This year Trent and I decided to take the kids to Salt Lake as a surprise for New Years. My cousin got us a great suite at the Marriott, we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner, swimming and then watched fireworks from the Wells Fargo building. I hope we can do it again next year. It was alot of fun.

Christmas at the Beardall's

2010-02-08T12:22:00.000-08:00

2010 is going to be a big year for the Beardall Family. I need to hurry and close out 2009.
This year for Christmas Brock got a 22 from Grandma Barber. He loves it. Santa left him Guitar Hero 5, tie clips,a cool cover for his scriptures, and 50.00 cash. The little fart still has it. I would have spent it so fast. He also got a bunch of Wii games and clothes from Grandma and Grandpa Beardall. His dad and I gave him a huge Nerf gun, clothes, and books.

Brinley and Bridgette are at that age where they like the same things. Santa left the girls a Barbie mansion and motorhome. They love it. Also some cute jewelry. Grandma Barber gave them some really cute dresses and tights. Bridge also got a tea set that I am ready to hide. It is really cute adn plays music but the girls keep filling it all up with water from the basement bathroom and making a huge mess. Grandma and Grandpa Beardall spoiled them with barbies, books, movies, clothes. Trent and I got them more clothes, books and each an alarm clock.

Here are each of the kids with Santa.
This year Trent and I hosted all the McClellans at out home on Christmas eve. We had around 20 people. It was great. We were so happy to have a need for our newly finished basement.
Here are some picts of the kids at the Barber party doing the Nativaty Brock, Jensen and Mic were Wisemen, Brin was the Angel(thanks Haleigh), Bridge was a Sheperd with Neisha, Evan was Joseph, Vanna was Mary, and Haleigh was the Innkeeper. The kids were all really great sports.

Family Photo's

2010-01-13T12:16:00.000-08:00

This year we waited until Thanksgiving week to have out yearly photos done. Heather Miller is a close family friend and she was in town for the holiday. She took time away from her family to take some cute pic's of us.

Dancing Baby

2009-11-16T14:17:00.000-08:00

Bridgette got to dance for the first time this weekend with her new dance class. The Central Utah Stars does a craft fair as a fund raiser each year and then they have the girls and some boys dance every few hours. It is a lot of fun. Here is Bridgette in her new dance costume.

October @ The Beardall's

2009-10-30T13:26:00.000-07:00

Well, I have been a slacker again. Here are a few photos of the girls with Brin's pumpkin. They had a decorating contest at school and you could not carve the pumpkin. So, I stuffed Ms.Potato head parts in it and put a wig on it and curled it. Brin won "prettiest little lady",which is very fitting for her.

Next it was my Birthday. I am old. But my family was awesome this year. Trent wins the prize for best hubby. He made my favorite dinner of Parmesan chicken, Funeral potatoes and corn(for 10). Then he also made Apple Crisp (which neither of us have ever done) and invited both of our families up for treats and let me be lazy all day on Sunday the 25th. He took me and my mom to dinner at Jo Bandito's (no comments Shan)and got Little Ceasar's on Monday. Then he and the girls went to Shopko and bought all the stuff, came up and set up everything for my new baby kitty. Yup, Mr. allergic to cats, got me the cutest kitty in the world. Her name is Bella Donna for pretty lady. My inlaws gave me money and my mom got me a Ogio bag. It was the best. Thanks to all

Here are some photo's of my kids in their Halloween costumes. Brin is a witch and Bridge is Cinderella. Brock is Micheal Jackson. Then we have Grandpa George with Trinitee and Treyden.

Funny Brinley

2009-09-30T11:06:00.000-07:00

Okay, so a few weeks back, I was trying to get Brock to be nice to Brinley and stop teasing her soooooo bad. So, I said "Brock, you need to be nice to Brin, cuz when you and your buddies get older, they may be dating girls that are Brinley's friends and possibly Brin." He rolled his eyes and walked off. Brinley must have been listening because a few days ago, out of the blue she says, "Mom, so you think Brocks friends will want to date me?" I said yes to which she responded "Great, I hope Jayce marries me, he is sooo HOT". What am I going to do with a 7yr old that is so totally boy crazy. She must get this from her dad. He used to kiss girls out on the playground in kindergarten(what a ladies man). I was a tomboy until at least 8th grade. HELP

16 Yrs

2009-09-22T14:29:00.000-07:00

Well, We made it one more year. Trent and I have been married 16yrs but together 19. That is half my life. This last month has been the best with Trent. We seem to be seeing things the same way. Maybe it is because we have been together so long. This year I was able to surprise Trent with an over nighter in Salt Lake. My cousin Kathryn got us the best room ever at the Marriott. Trent surprised me by taking a half a day off and bringing me flowers. We went to Texas Roadhouse and did alittle shopping. We left the kids at home with Taylor Davis(Trent's cousin) And they loved it. Then to top it off we came home to a spotless house and happy kids. It was the best. Love you sweetie.

Bridgette started Pre-School 9-1-09

2009-09-22T12:20:00.000-07:00

My baby started Preschool this month. The first of this month was crazy so I am slow at posting. She is such a smart girl. She loves school and has lots of friends. I just hope her little sassy mouth doesn't end up getting her in to trouble. She says what is on her mind. But, we love it. Love you Baby Bridge.
Bridge and Vanna

First Day of School

2009-08-19T19:17:00.000-07:00

Today was crazy... Brock and Brinley started back to school. Brock started his first day at Diamond Fork Jr. High. He was so nervous that he did not sleep much the night before. But he was also realy excited to go. He said it was a great day and cn hardley wait for tomorrow.
Brinley my little social butterfly started 2nd grde at East Meadows. She loves school and was really excited to get Mrs. Warenski. I guess the day was so good, the teacher called me after school to tell me how glad she was to get Brinley and that she just loved her already.
I think it is going to be a great year. Bridgette starts preschool in about a week.

Family Vacation 8-6-09

2009-08-19T18:47:00.001-07:00

This year for our family getaway, we decided to take the kids to Cherry Hills and Lagoon. We stayed in a hotel for the weekend in Layton. NSP treated us to Lagoon for the yearly company party. We let Brock take a buddy(Jayce Johnson), it was alot of fun. Trent wants to make it a tradition, here are a few photos. (We were not able to take any at Cherry Hills. It was windy and we were busy running to water to be warm. But, no crowds.)

Jayce and Brock after riding the Cliffhanger.

The kids getting off the Lady Bug Bop. Bridgette's favorite ride.
Here are the girls on a few rides. We did not get many of the boys. They did their own thing.

Here is the rest of the fun... Swimming at the hotel.

Crazy Dad

Summer 2009

2009-07-06T09:19:00.000-07:00

Okay I have had a crazy summer already. I told myself I was not going to get behind on the blogging. Well, I did. Brock and Trent went on a scout over nighter up Diamond Fork. This was planned just for Brock so he could get passed off before moving on to the next stage in scouts. Next is the photos of the older kids in ball this year. Brin was on the JawBreakers.(coachpitch)She is a great little hitter and fast runner. I am so proud. Brock was on the Diamondbacks again. They did not have a very good year. 3 wins only. oops.... Last is swimming lessons. Brin is a natural in the water. She is only 7 and was in the advanced class. This was only the 2nd time Bridgette has had lessons, She loved taking with SaVanna. Both girls are fish. Brock got to play in the pool on the last day of class. We love the Argyles.

Father's Day

2009-06-22T11:46:00.000-07:00

Trent reminds me of my favorite saying about dads. "Anyone can be a Father, it takes someone special to be a Daddy". I hope Trent had a great day and I am taking him shopping tonight for his gift.
Yesterday was a very exciting one for Brock. He was ordained to the office of Deacon by Trent and grandpa George. I am so proud of Brock. He was so excited to become a Deacon. Now he gets to pass the sacrament. I was the proudest wife/mom in the world yesterday. And yes, I cried like a baby.
We took the kids to the cemetary and took a pepsi and fudge stripe cookies to my dad.

Brock turns 12.

2009-06-15T09:44:00.000-07:00

June 11th 1997 Brock Douglas Beardall was born at 4:30 pm in Provo(UVRMC) 7 pounds 6 ounces 19 inches long. He was the cutest little ball of happiness. After trying for 4years and suffering a miscarriage, we finally got a baby. A funny story about Brock is that we had 3 ultrasounds with the doctor, and in all 3 we were having a girl. On the last test, Trent happened to ask if it was a boy or girl. The doctor said "What have I been telling you?" We were like, "a girl" So the doc said "I better not change my answer now." So we head to the hospital the next afternoon for a c-section, all the nurses are asking what we are having, We just tell them that up to yesterday a girl but now we don't know. Well when they saw Brock's face, he was mad. very mad. All the nurses laughed and said "so cute, could be a boy or girl". Well when they got the rest of him out, the nurse looks at the doctor and says,"You missed that 3 times?" Brock was so private in all the ultrasounds and he is still very private. Brock has been a great addition to our family. He is so great with his sisters. He and Brinley fight so much I about go crazy, but every now and again I catch him being sweet to her.

This weekend, Trent and I took Brock and his friend Bradley to Texas Roadhouse. Then shopping for clothes and a game for his Wii. We had the family over for Jazz cake and mint ice cream. Brock will be ordained to be a Deacon on Sunday the 21st. I am so excited to watch him pass the sacrament.

Happy Birthday B-Dawg. We love you.

Brock Graduated..... He is moving on to Jr. High

2009-06-03T12:35:00.000-07:00

My oldest baby graduated from 6th grade. I hate that he is getting so big. He will always be my chubby cheek little man. B-Dawg. He had a awesome teacher this year. Mr.Gull. Mr.Gull did not take any of Brocks crap and was always pushing Brock to do more and better. We have been so lucky to get great teachers year after year for the kids. We love you Brock. We are so proud of you when you try your best and have a good attitude. Good luck with Jr. High.

Bridgette Turns 4. Happy Birthday Baby!!!!

2009-05-28T09:18:00.000-07:00

Bridgette was born on 5-22-05 at 8:22am at UVRMC. She weighted 6 pounds 10 oz. and was 18 inches long. She also had alot of brown hair. When the nurse brought her into me later, I told her that could not be my baby. My babies we round little balls with blonde or no hair. The nurse freaked and started checking wrist bands. It was pretty funny. Bridgette has been my "special little surprise". Trent and I were thinking about another baby but wanted to sell our house first. I took 3 tests when I thought I was pregnant. two said yes but the last one said no. I went to the doctor and had one done. The poor nurse was so happy when she told me and I almost cried. My other 2 kids were so hard to get here, the whole pregnancy I was in denial, But when she was born and I was left alone with her for the first time, all I could do was cry and tell her how sorry I was that I did not want another baby right now. She is my little buddy. I call her Angel baby. She is so funny and can reason like an adult. You can have a conversation with her and she uses big words. It is really funny. I would not trade you for the world baby........ I have been telling Bridgette that she needs to stop growing. I need my squeezey baby. But she said she wanted a party. I told her she could have a party but she needed to always be my baby. She agreed but I don't think she fully understood.
We invited a bunch of neighbor girls over and rented a Castle to jump in. They had alot of fun. She got really spoiled. Color book, lullaby book, High School Musical Cake and a bike from mom,dad,Brock and Brin. Clothes from aunt Jade, barbie stuff from Aunt Lindy and fam, More barbie stuff from Grandma and Grandpa Beardall. Swim suit, bag, bows and swim stuff form Grandma Barber, Barbie, paperdolls, color books, crayons and markers from the Barber and Martinez cousins, Lots of color books and make up from her friend party. Here are some video's of her party and her on her new bike.

Brinley's 1st grade program

2009-05-19T15:35:00.000-07:00

Here is some photo's and videos from Brins program last week. We had problems with the camera so we missed her doing the line dance. She is so dang cute. I can see why all the staff at the school loves her. Hope you do too. Brinley with her teacher, Ms Powell. (She got married at the end of the school year so she is now Mrs Clark) Both Brock and Brin were lucky enough to get her for 1st grade. She is the best.

Mother's Day

2009-05-13T14:56:00.001-07:00

Okay, So I hate Mother's Day. I could go on and on about it but I will spare you all. This year Trent asked me what I wanted, I told him "surgery, that way I am in the hospital and people have to wait on my adn be nice because I am paying them." I ask my kids every year to be nice and not fight and all that but it never works. Well, This year was different. Finally. Trent took me shopping Saturday night. He got me a new Wallet, and let me build my own bear at Build-a-Bear. His name is Bronco the dog. He is my 4th kid that can not talk back or ask for anything. After he is paid for, he wont cost me a dime. Sunday we were lazy and went to dinner at Chili's with the Beardall's. Val gave me some toe rings. then off to my moms. She gave me a bowl full of fun stuff. Thanks to all my family for making my Mother's Day a great one.

Brock's Un-Birthday

2009-05-13T14:32:00.000-07:00

This year we decided to give Brock an Un-Birthday. His real birthday is June 11th. But since it is the start of summer and everyone leaves town, he always has a crappy turn out. So, this year we did it a month early. We went to Laser Assult in Provo. The boys had a great time. Brock scored the highest of all.
Taylor McKentire, Cash Shepherd, Brock, Evan Barber, Bradley McGowen. Missing from the photo were Jensen Martinez(He had to leave for Soccer), and Haleigh Barber(she had softball.)

Girls Weekend

2009-05-01T09:07:00.000-07:00

Well, last weekend I went on my first Beardall Girls get-away. I am sure this was the first of many and we may add to our group too. Maybe when Brinley and Trinitee are 16, hehehe. Val, Lindy, Jade and I went down to see Heather(Lindy's long time friend). Heather might as well just belong to us. She has been in the family longer than me. We also had to check out Jade's new home as of August.
My cousins (Boyd and Shar) we nice enough to let us stay at their place. It was a home away from home. It was great.
We headed out Friday morning, got the St.George about 3pm. We went swimming, shopped, went to dinner at Samarai 21 ,then shopped more. We finally went back to play phase 10 and do facials. Then we decided to make a run to Wally World, That was a trip in itself. We ended up staying up until about 2am. Saturday we were up and at them by 10am. Village inn for breakfast, then off to get pedicures. More shopping, checking out Jades new place and then back to get beautiful for photos. Heather is working on her portfolio so she made us beautiful and took some great picts. Then we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. We finally made it back for bed and movies about 10. We ended up getting to sleep about 12 and back up early to head home on Sunday.
I cant wait until next year.

Here are some of the picts Heather took.

Easter

2009-04-20T13:44:00.000-07:00

This year we were pretty busy. We had Easter all weekend. We started out by going to dinner at Red Robin. Brock was too cool to go so he stayed home and was bored. Then we colored eggs (Brock again is too cool and went to a buddies). Here are some video's of the kids at their many Easter egg hunts.
The first one is at Trent's parents on Saturday. Lindy's kids Trinitee and Treyden. Brock was a helper on this one.

This was our little hunt on Easter morning. The kids all got church clothes.

This is the big kids at my mom's. She did a hunt for them in the back yard and the little girls in the front. The cute one of the little girls would not download. So I added a photo of them. Bridgette and SaVanna.

Crazy Bridgette

2009-04-08T14:48:00.000-07:00

Here are some random photo's of Bridgette.She is just as silly.as her sister.

The girls playing at Carl's Jr.

Riding her 4 Wheeler. She likes to say "See ya sucka"

Okay this one was really funny. She did not want to try potty before bed. Trent made her and he stood in the hall to make sure she did. It made her mad so she covered her head with her jammies.

Crazy Brinley

2009-04-08T14:42:00.000-07:00

Here are some random photo's of Brinley within the last month.

Wacky Wednesday(April 1st. We made a bow out of her hair on her head.)

Brin in her Mustang. Watch out she is crazy in that car. You should watch her drive. She drives like her dad(too busy watching what everyone is doing instead of where she is going).

Here is his crazy family. We tried to go to Texas Roadhouse Saturday night. We left at 4pm and still could not get in. We ended up at T.G.I. Fridays.

Happy Birthday Brinley

2009-03-27T08:49:00.000-07:00

Our little Brinley turned 7yrs old on March 20th. We decided to let her have all the girls in her school class, sunday school, and some cousins and freinds to the party. It was a pretend Slumber Party. All the girls were to bring a pillow and wear P.J.'s. We ended up with 16 little girls. They had a great time eating pizza, bread sticks,cupcakes,ice cream, playing musical pillows, pin the purse on the shopper, watching High School Musical while eating popcorn. Here is a video of the girls playing a game. We did not have enought room for them all to do this in the front room.

Trent,Me, Bridgette and Brinley went to Brick Oven for her birthday dinner on Saturday. Brock is too busy to be with the family. Hanging with the buds is more fun.

Happy Birthday Mom

My mom will be 59 years young on the 6th. I hope I can do it as well as she has done. The last 2 years have been hard on her. But I think she has been doing really well "finding herself". Happy Birthday Mom.

Feb. Scout Campout

2009-02-28T21:02:00.000-08:00

What the heck???? This is proof that boys are insane. Trent took Brock up to the Reservoir for a scout over-nighter. They had a lot of fun.

Kids Bathroom

2009-02-28T20:32:00.000-08:00

After 10 yrs of Ducks in my kids bathroom, I changed it. It was so easy. I wish I had taken a before photo so you could see, but I decided to do Pink and Brown polka dots. Trent bought some cute dixie cups for Bridgette to rinse her mouth. I loved them so much that I did the whole thing to match. The curtain and rugs are from Target, the towels are all from Mervyns (3.00 each). Trent's Aunt Nan sewed them all to make them hooded for the kids. The girls are pink with brown hoods an Brock's are brown with lighter hoods. My sister helped me make vinyl dots for the walls. Brock thinks it looks like someone threw up in there, but I love it.

Drill Team.... Already????

2009-02-23T10:38:00.000-08:00

Brinley took a class at the Spanish Fork High School with the Drill Team,because our neighbor, Krizia Brooks is on Drill. She had a great time and did awesome with her dance. Here in a video of her. She id the tiny blond in front and center with the black and pink pants.

President's Weekend

2009-02-23T09:55:00.001-08:00

This year for Presidents weekend, Trent and I took Brock and my mom to St.George to the Parade of Homes. We had a great time. Trent and I normally go down every year, but this was a first for Brock. He got to miss school, play games, go out to eat every meal, and hang with Grandma. We went to Olive Garden for dinner on Saturday night(valentines) and the wait was an hour and a half. We were so bored that we took some fun photos. I am lucky to be able to post these pictures because at some time in that hour and a half wait I set my camera down and it ended up staying the night in their safe. I am so grateful to the honest person that turned it in. I do have blond moments from time to time.

Were are also very thankful to my cousin Chelsey James for staying at my house the whole weekend with the girls. My girls had a blast. When we got home on Monday, we dressed the girls up in the cute new outfits Trent and I bought for them. We loaded up and went to Wingers for lunch. Notice Brins new glasses. She looks really cute in them.

Valentines 2009

2009-02-23T09:48:00.000-08:00

East Meadows Elementary has a Valentines box contest every year. hey have you do a box according to what the classes are learning about. Brins class had to do a box about reading. I had her pick her favorite book. "Pinkalicious" Trent took this photo of her with her box, he only got the back. The front looked like a big cupcake. I was pretty proud of my work. Brin did not win. But at least we had fun.

Brinley the Great.

2009-02-03T10:39:00.001-08:00

Well, Some of you may not know by looking at her, she has been struggling with reading. So, her teacher(the best ever)had Brin go to a reading specialist. Brin did so well that she went from a level 0-14 in just a few weeks and tested out early. She loves to read now and I cant get her to put the books down. She even takes them to bed with her and tries reading in the dark. She has even inspired her baby sister to read all the time. Bridgette likes to take her little laptop to bed every night. Last night Trent tried to put a stop to this but he lost. Brinley also got a 100% plus 1 on her last spelling test. Since she did so well we let her have a sleep over at her cousins(Jentrie)last weekend. Way to go Brinley. Your great. Love you.

Bridgette the helper

2009-01-21T13:57:00.000-08:00

Over the weekend I decided to clear the snow and ice off the back steps. I came in the house to answer the phone and this is what I came back to.

Ya gotta love the boots. She ran in and pulled them on. They are her favorites from Grandma Sue.

Basketball is back....

2009-01-21T13:53:00.000-08:00

Brock loves Basketball. He is really good. I find it funny that a little short boy would want to play Basketball..... He has been making baskets at both games he has had. One was a 3 pointer. Yah B-Dawg. He is on the Grizzlies. They have lost one and won one.

Trent (my cute Hubby)

2009-01-21T13:47:00.000-08:00

So, if you know my hubby, you know he is very serious about having his picture taken. He wanted to have a nice photo for his facebook profile but none of the ones I took were good enough. So, Brock and I started following him with the camera to see what we could get. Most got deleted but here is what i was able to salvage.

Bridgette's New Do

2008-12-27T19:58:00.000-08:00

Bridgette before and after, what do you think?

Merry Christmas

2008-12-27T15:48:00.000-08:00

We had a very good Christmas. The kids got spoiled. Brock got World Tour for the Wii, Brinley got an American Girl doll that looks like her, Bridgette got the Bitty Twins from American girl. Here are a few of the photos we took. They also got spoiled by Grandma Susan, Grandma Val and Grandpa George.

Guitar Hero

2008-12-18T11:15:00.001-08:00

Brock has a new passion. Here he is with this dad enjoying some male bonding on the Wii. I sure hope Santa brings us this game, I am tired of renting it.

Dancing Girls

2008-12-18T10:17:00.000-08:00

I hope this works. I recorded my girls at Grandparents day. Bridgette has 2 because the first time she did the whole dance backwards. It was really funny. I kept thinking she would turn around but she was happy to do it her way.

Beardall Update 12-08

2008-12-12T11:48:00.001-08:00

Hi all, It has been a few weeks since my last blog. I have been lazy. Really I have had one or more kids sick since September. We finally found out last night that my kids all suffer from a asthma Bronchitis and they have not been able to kick it. The doctor was so concerned that he sent us home with his cell number so we could call if we needed. I really want all my kids better for Christmas. We are planning on a few parties and rides thru the lights.
Here is an updated photo of my kids. I wanted to make sure you all saw my cute new photos we had taken by a lady in my ward. She is great. Audra Hatch. (her info is listed on the side under my kids photos.

Trent is finishing up school for the semester. I will be glad when he is done writing papers. I am tired of seeing him so sick of being on the computer. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year just in case I get lazy again and don't post Christmas photos in a timely manner.

Sick Little Girl

2008-11-25T13:17:00.000-08:00

Brin has been so sick. She came down with Strep and Croup right after Halloween. The doctor gave her a steroid shot and put her on Amoxil. Well over the weekend we noticed she was not acting herself again. I took her into the doctor and she has both again. She had to get another shot and she even asked for it!!! Hopefully she can get better this time. This photo is of her at school last week. I thought she looked so cute walking out of school, so I made her stop so I could get it. She is so cute even when she is sick.

Being Thankful

2008-11-19T15:02:00.000-08:00

I have been doing a lot of thinking this week about being Thankful. With the economy taking a turn, I am very grateful for my home, car and job. I am pretty sure they are all secure and should stay that way for the long haul. Money has been really tight this year but I try not to let that get me down. Because a lot of people are in the same situation. When I was younger, we would go to my Grandma and Grandpa Stones for Thanksgiving. My grandpa would always make us say 3 things we were Thankful for before we could start dinner. So this year I decided that the 3 most important things to me this year are #1. My family because without them I am no one. I'm not a mother,wife,friend,daughter,sister,aunt. #2. My job because without it I would not be able to have all the great friends that I have. I also would not need my great baby sitter. Donna is the best. Last but certainly not least, #3 My breath (I know, it sounds silly but hear me out)because without it I can not live. My dad tried for years and he lost the battle. Every time in the last 14 months that I take a deep breath I think of him. Oh how I wish breathing could be donated like blood. I would have given as much as possible. I have been really sad this week as the holidays approach. I think it is because last year I was still in my little bubble of fog. This year it is really sinking in. I hope you all have a great Holiday season. Don't let it pass without giving thanks for all you have.

Halloween 2008

2008-11-04T12:31:00.000-08:00

Bridge as Belle. What a poser

Showing some skin. oops.

Brin as Aurora. A true Princess.

Brock and the buds.(gals)

Tricks and Treats at NSP

This year for Halloween both of the girls wanted to be a princess. Brin was Sleeping Beauty for the 3rd time. Bridgette was Belle(her sitter did her hair just like Belle's). We got the dresses in Disneyland while we were there in April.
Brock was a Grim Reaper of some sort,his buddies all dressed like girls. He decided he was too cool to hang with the family.
I was a Witch. Bridgette called me Glenda the good Witch because I was not scary.
My mom was a Princess Kitty. The total opposite of her real cat.
The kids got so much candy. It might have been due to Trick or Treating at my work, or the great weather. Halloween was great this year.

Funny Baby

2008-10-30T13:29:00.000-07:00

Okay, I just need to tell you about my funny baby girl(she is only 3 yrs old). A few weeks ago when I was home with her on my day off, she was helping me clean the bathrooms. I hate it that no one knows, or acts like they know how to change the toilet paper. So I showed Bridgette how to change it. Now every time she goes potty, if she notices the paper getting low, she tells me she will change it. Last night she was just getting in the tub, and noticed that her sister used the last of the paper. Bridgette went flying out of the tub and changed the paper. Boy is she a girl after my own heart or what? She also loves to wipe down the tub and toilet seat top. She wants to really clean the toilet, but I wont let her. She loves to help me clean,she gets mad if I do not give her a job do to on the weekends like the other kids. Trent and I are lucky. We stopped having kids while we were ahead. We ended on a good one.

This is her giving herself a nap. She was tired so she went to sleep.
Love you Bridge

Happy Birthday to Kathleen !!!!!

2008-10-29T10:12:00.000-07:00

I was not going to put anything on here about my birthday, but then I decided I might as well. I wish I had some cute baby photos of myself but I did not have time to get them together and my sister was in most of them. I didn't want you all to think she was the cute one. This year my birthday was on Sunday. It was much better than last years birthday.
I'm in the Primary with Trent. We teach the Sunbeams, so I had to get up in front of everyone and let them sing to me. Trent let me sit around and read my book all afternoon, My mom made my favorite dinner (Parmesan Chicken,Funeral Potatoes,Carrot Cake) and had my little family over. Then all the family came over that evening for cupcakes and ice cream. My mom gave me some great candle holders for my entry table. My mother in-law gave me Sex and the City movie. Trent is going to take me and the kids to see High School Musical 3 soon. I'm really grateful to have such a great family and extended family. I am also thankful that no one outside of my family really knows how old I am and when I tell them, they think I am lying. Ha Ha Shan, everyone thinks you are older than me. LOL

This is one of my favorite photos. I wish Matt was in it and Shan was looking forward.

Co-ed Softball - L & M Construction

2008-10-20T10:40:00.000-07:00

This year we had so much fun. We have a great team. Thanks to my baby brother (D.J Barber)... He had his boss (Kevin Sorenson) sponsor us. We were in the "D" League and ended the season 7-0. When we went on to tournament we were bumped up two brackets. We played all the way to the finals. We were beat out by a "A" league team. We took 2nd in Bracket #4 out of 6. We are all looking forward to next year.

The photo is kind of dark but I really like it. If you click on the photo it will come up bigger and better.

Park City with the girls

2008-10-14T09:43:00.000-07:00

This year I was in charge of getting everything set up for the Barber Girls annual get-away. My cousin works for a hotel and was able to get us the best room ever. We stayed at the Hotel Park City. She was able to get us the Presidential Suite. It was sooooo nice. We ended up having 16 ladies all together. It is so fun to get away for a few nights, catch up with all the cousins, talk about kids, blow off steam, shop, eat out and not worry about anything. I look forward to this weekend every year. Thanks all for coming and having fun. Kathryn, thanks for all you do. Missing from the photos was Michelle Barber Wright, Melinda Barber, Amanda Gull (I forgot her married name)Here is proof of our room.

15 Years

2008-09-16T15:22:00.000-07:00

Sept 18th marks the 15th Anniversary for Trent and I. I can hardly believe it has been that long. We dated for 3 years before we got married. (18yrs total). It makes me feel so old. I have almost been a Beardall as long as I was a Barber. The years have been eventful for us, but they have been good. Trent still makes me laugh. He is the best dad ever. He is the one that takes care of sick kids. I really appreciate all he does for our family. I couldn't have asked for a better partner to share Eternity. I have been very lucky to be able to marry my best friend, and to be accepted into the Beardall family with open arms. Love you Trent.

7 Years!

2008-09-11T06:47:00.001-07:00

Today, marks the 7th anniversary of the attacks on America, WTC, and the Pentagon. Let's show our support for our troops and country by wearing red, white, and blue today. Fly a flag today and please remember what it stands for. I love my country and I am proud to be an American! God Bless America!

My Dad... Douglas Lee Barber

2008-09-03T14:04:00.000-07:00

I made it a year. I can hardly believe it. A year ago Sept 4th I lost my very special Dad. I made it through all the "firsts". Birthdays, Anniversaries, etc. I am so glad that he is no longer suffering. He never wanted to put anyone out, I loved helping him the last few months. He had to have a tube inserted into his throat so he could be hooked up to a machine to help him breathe. When he first came home from the hospital we kids took turns helping get him "hooked up". I was first and ended up staying the night at his house for a few nights. He was so nervous and I was now responsible for his life. I miss him so much. I really think he knew the end was near. He got my mom all settled in her new house and then just 4 days after we moved them he went into the hospital. I thought he would do as he had in the past and get well in a few weeks and come home. He was in the hospital 4 days before he passed away. My Uncle Keith was with him and my mom at the time and I am forever grateful to him for being there for my parents. I have had the hardest time the last few weeks. Because I know he would have loved the weather, parties, and seeing his grand kids grow and become great little people. I know that in my worst times he is with me. I just wish I could have one more time to sit and chat with him like we did in his room at night when I would go to his house and help get him hooked up to his breathing machine for the night. We would just chat about the day. We had no interruptions from the phone or kids. I have had great support from Trent. He is the best. He lets me be a cry baby when needed. My most memorable moment of my Dad is when he would hold my arm and say "Thank you, love you Cutie" I miss his voice. I made my family photos of them with my dad and the saying "I've learned that I may forget what you said, I may forget what you did, but I will never forget how you made me feel." I cant wait to see him again, healthy and happy.

Dancing @ Central Utah Stars

2008-09-03T07:31:00.000-07:00

Bridgette started dancing yesterday. She was so excited. When she woke up today she told me she will go next week but only if the teacher has her radio back. Bridgette is in the Preschool class on Tuesdays with Allie Moore. (one of her best friends). Brin is in the Shooting Stars on Wednesday. This is her 4th year dancing.

First Day of School 8-20-08

2008-08-21T09:25:00.000-07:00

Well, school has started. I thought I would be sad but, I am soooo happy to have 2 kids in school all day. They both go to East Meadows Elementary. Brock is in 6th grade and has Mr. Gull, Brinley is in 1st grade and has Ms. Powell. They both really love school. I am sad to see my babies grow up so fast.

Lagoon With NSP 8-8-08

2008-08-19T13:06:00.000-07:00

We took the family to Lagoon for the Nature's Sunshine Company party. We had a great time. Evan Barber went with us. Brinley was a little mad because she was too short to go on the big kid rides. She better get used to being short. :)

We had the most fun on the water rides and fountain. Brin was able to go on Rattle Snake Rapids. She loved it. Bridgette and I played with the camera while we waited.

Lagoon with NSP 8-8-08

2008-08-19T12:39:00.000-07:00

Here is the girls having fun. We did not get a bunch with the boys because the rides were going too fast.

Midway 8-1-08

2008-08-18T10:58:00.000-07:00

This year the Barber Family get-a-way was planned by Shantelle. We went to the Homestead. Shan planned everything and got us a great place to stay. It was a 3 story Twin Home with 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 familyrooms, a laundry room and a huge kitchen. I got the best room in the place. It had a King Size bed, the closet was big enought for my kids to stay in. The kids loved the pool. This is where we spent most our time.

24th of July

2008-07-29T14:11:00.000-07:00

We had a really good 24th of July in good ol' Spanish Fork. We watched the parade at my moms office and lots of family and friends were there. Bridgette got to play with her best friend SaVanna. She also got to give Belle a love. Belle is her favorite princess. Mom was the Grand Marshall and Dee was a good sport and rode in the parade with her. Dad was so excited last year when he told us they had been asked to be the Grand Masrshall. He probably had the best seat for the parade.

Brock @ UBBA

2008-07-18T11:52:00.000-07:00

the D-backs did really well. They won the first 4 games and went on to the "Big Dance" as Grandpa Goose likes to call it. Brock caught the game winning out and helped send the team on to take 4th place. Brock was given the game ball. It was really exciting. They were the only Spanish Fork team to go this far. They were given awards last night.

Brock & the DiamondBacks

2008-07-10T09:02:00.000-07:00

This year Brock moved up to the Pinto League. He got on a really good team with great coaches. He plays out field and 3rd base. Their team took 3rd in their Division and tied for 4th over all. Then at City Tournament they placed 4th which sent them to UBBA. They start UBBA next week. I hope they do good. Brock has been hitting like crazy this year.

Brinley at Cheer Camp

2008-07-09T11:25:00.000-07:00

Brinley took Cheer this summer. she loved it and was really good at it. She got to go for a week and learn from the Spanish Fork Cheerleaders. She also got pom poms and a t-shirt. I think we will do it agin next year too so Bridgette can also do it.

Brinley plays T-ball

2008-07-09T11:13:00.000-07:00

This summer Brin played T-Ball...... She liked to visit while covering 3rd base, when she played 2nd base she took a nap using the base as her pillow. I wish I had a picture of it. She was a very good batter and got a trophy from her coach. Bridgette wanted to play one night so we took some photos. She was really funny. She had me curl her hair so she could play "hey batter batter"

Brinley's Dance Review 6-5-08 Central Utah Stars

2008-06-17T09:39:00.000-07:00

She is such a dork. She loves to wiggle her little butt. Brin loves the hair doos and makeup more than anything. Bridgette starts taking dance with her in August. She is so excited.

The Barber Family

2008-06-09T12:14:00.000-07:00

This is at my Parents home at 891 s. Wolf Hollow Dr. 8-12-07. It was a miracle we got everyone together so fast for pictures. Mom & Dad moved a few weeks later. Dad was not sure about the move, he got mom settled in the new house and passed away 9-4-07.

The Beardall Family

2008-06-09T11:58:00.001-07:00

Here is all the Beardalls. We did these pictures June of 2007.
