Dave and I have been married almost 20 years!! WOW!! I am the mother of 3 boys, hence the life with all boys =0) They are the joy (and stress) of my life and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
Here is a picture of Dave's Unit at the Annual Christmas Party. What a group! Gotta love the guys in uniform.
Dad & Logan at the M&M factory in Las Vegas. Logan had so much fun! We also went to Circus Circus and he got to ride the roller coaster for the first time. He LOVED it!!!!
The boys refused to smile nice for the camera, so this is the photo that we got for the Christmas cards this year. I guess it's ok, it shows their true characters. =0)

Anyone for a mud pie?? Dakota and Logan had to squeeze in one last fun in the mud before the end of summer. It's so much fun playing in the mud, isn't it?? Well... until Dad gets out the hose to clean ya off. hehe
Four Generation Pic.. Travis and his new little one, Kale Julius Stickney born on August 19th. Such a cutie!!
Take me out to the ball game... For Dakota's birthday we went to an Orem Owlz baseball game. We had lots of fun, ate popcorn and peanuts, but no crackerjacks???

Logan on the first day of school. He was so excited to go into first grade. And Mom doesn't know what to do with herself being home all day long with no kids.
Hunter on the first day of school - wow 6th grade!!! (Logan is hiding in the background) They were so excited for school - they got up at 6 and were jumping up and down all morning.
Dakota's first day of school. Is it really possible that I have an 8th grader???? Nah.... He wasn't too excited about going back to school though.
What goofs! Logan had a lot of fun collecting shells at Bear Lake. Here he is displaying some. =0)
Bear Lake KOA - boy was this a great way of camping. hehe The boys played at the playground, went swimming at least twice a day, played pool, ping pong and miniature golf. One of the best things they had there was internet access so I could check my email every day. Yeah, it was a rough campout.

Camping at Joes Valley. We just love the outdoors!!! We found a little campground just off the road and we found a lake, a river with a little waterfall. The lake had tons of fish, and snails. There were even some other people there that caught a bunch of fish and we ate them for dinner - YUM!!
Roasting marshmellows.... ok, so we like them a little on the toasty side. =0)

24th of July Festivities. We had a long day for Pioneer Day. We started out with the race early in the morning, then the parade, then the picnic at Grandma & Grandpa Stickney's and then we finished out the day at Boondocks fun center. WOW!!! We had soooo much fun.
Dave talked Travis into running the Speedy Spaniard 10K race. This is Dave's 3rd year in a row competing. He finished 11th in his age group.
I had to show them boys how it's done, didn't I? Ok, so I'm not right on the center, but I'm pretty consistent, right? And that's all that counts. =0)
1st Annual Family Campout - What campout wouldn't be complete without all the boys getting out all their guns and having a shootout. hehe
4th of July 2007 - Stadium of Fire
This is our second year in a row that we have been able to go to the Stadium of Fire. This year the concert was Brooks & Dunn. It was really good. And the fireworks are always excellent!!
Halloween 2006. Spooky guys!!! We LOVE Halloween.
Dave spent 2 weeks up at Camp Williams taking the Warrior Leadership Course. They had a hard class and spent a lot of time playing "soldier" out in the desert. Here he is at his graduation. Logan sure missed Daddy and didn't want to leave his side.
Ewwwwww... Logan found a snail and just fell in love!!! He of course named him Gary after the snail on Spongebob. It just made me ill to have him holding it and playing with it. He kept sticking it on the sliding glass door and watching him climb up. YUCK!!! He is definitely ALL BOY!
June 2006. My what strong boys I have!!! Here we are at one of our favorite places to go - Payson Lakes. We try to get there a few times every year even if it's just for the day to play in the lake and walk around on the trails.
We made it to the Arch!!! I didn't think I was going to make it. It was a LONG and HOT hike - even though it was in April. But we had tons of fun and lots of memories of this trip.
April 2006. We decided to go to the Arches National Park in Moab, but missed the turn and ended up in Colorado. =0) So here we are in Colorado - might as well make the best of it right??? The kids still talk about our trip to Moab via Colorado.
Ok, so I was quick enough to catch my sneaky Logan and Dakota trying to throw leaves on Hunter's head. Nah... my boys would never do a thing like that!!! =0)
October 2005. What's more fun than playing in the leaves???? You can't really see the boys, but you can see that they are having tons of fun. Only problem is, that you have to rake the leaves twice, huh?? hehe
Fathers Day 2005. We were able to get the whole crew together for a family picture.
Here is Dave is Afghanistan. He served over there from July 2004 until January 2005. Luckily he wasn't gone for a year and a half, but he was gone long enough for me!!!
Here he is with his office group and they are all receiving an award!! Good Job Guys!!! (and girls - hehe)
We LOVE to go camping. This is one of our trips to Fish Lake. It is so pretty down there.
It's hard to believe that we were married 10 years ago!!! Wow - time sure does fly.
