Lots of Fun Presents!

Going Fishing!

2011-12-16T14:59:00.000-08:00

In October, Idaho Falls opened a new fishing pond which they stocked with a lot of fish. So we Thought we would take the boys fishing and see if we could catch any and get them excited about fishing. Once Todd discovered what the fish liked then we caught three in about twenty minutes.

The Worms!

Brian really didn't eat the worm, but he has no problem picking them up!

Snow Day!

2011-10-23T14:43:00.001-07:00

On October 6, 2011 we got a big surprise! Six inches of Snow! Luckily it didn't last very long and now we are enjoying a beautiful Fall. But the Boys were excited to get their snow clothes on and go out and Play.

Take Me Out tTo The Ball Game!

2011-10-23T14:26:00.000-07:00

Idaho Falls is home to the Chukars and here we are with their Mascot.

July 2011

2011-09-10T21:06:00.000-07:00

Here are some Pictures from July. We went to Logan for the 4th of July and spent the day with Grandma Eiko. We had fun watching the parade and having lunch with Uncle Flint.

Here are some pictures from our Camping trip in July, Thanks to Grandma Eiko for always being our photographer. We went up to park with some Friends and floated down the Buffalo River. It was a Blast!

We were planning on Beau swimming down the river, but he decided that he would rather float like everyone else and climbed on the tube with Grandma and I.

All the boys loved riding together on the raft.

Grandma Eiko finally on the other side of the camera.

Park City June 2011

2011-09-10T20:33:00.000-07:00

In June, we got to go to Park City, Ut. for a few days for an Edward Jones Summer Regional Meeting. We love these Meetings because to whole family gets to go and have fun for a few days. We got to ride a gondola up the mountain for dinner one night and the boys called it the "bubble". Now when Jackson see any kind of ski lift he calls them "bubbles" and loves to ride them. Here are just a few pictures of our Weekend there.

Exploring the Hotel.

I thought this was a cute picture of them holding hands.

At the Olympic Park, watching the Ski Jumpers practice.

2011-07-17T17:47:00.000-07:00

Here is Brian back in January, he liked to draw little guys in the snow.

Grandma Eiko bought Brian his first big Lollipop.

Brian turned 4 this year.

He helped us make a Snowman cake, and got a new bike for his birthday. He loves to ride his bike and can now ride without his training wheels.

We got a new Van in February, we really enjoy taking it on road trips.

Brian learned how to climb up the walls from his Cousins Tyler and Jay.

For Easter we had some family over for Easter Dinner and had a Easter Egg hunt in our back yard. One funny thing that happened was Jackson mistook some dog poop for an egg and picked it up. I thought I had cleaned up the yard, but I missed that one.

Jackson and Brian love playing with their cars in the dirt. They can spend hours here.

The Boys love trying to ride Beau, he puts up with a lot.

Here we are on our First hike of the year, Brian took the picture. He loves taking pictures.

"Bingle Bells"

2011-01-08T10:51:00.000-08:00

This is Jackson's new Favorite song.

Christmas 2010

2011-01-08T09:54:00.000-08:00

Christmas Eve we started out with a Birthday Breakfast for Todd, Jackson loves to practice blowing out candles so Todd let him help.

Then for Todd's Birthday dinner Grandma Eiko took us to Texas Roadhouse.

Christmas Eve we all got new PJ's and the Boys got pillow cases from Aunt Kristine. Jackson loves his new pillow case and came running out with his "Monkey pillow" Christmas morning.

Christmas Morning! Brian was so excited but we had to wake him up, maybe we should have let him sleep. I am sure it won't be long before he is waking us up Christmas morning.

The boys got some Mega Bloks and the first thing Brian said was "I am going to sort these". How we said. Into to there separate colors, of course.

Todd got a Ladder and as you can see the boys thought it was fun to climb on.

We went sledding Christmas afternoon. But the snow was pretty hard, so Brian had more fun sliding down the slide. Here he is sliding like a Penguin. Then we came home for Christmas dinner. We really enjoyed our Holidays this year and hope all our family and friends did too.

Halloween a Little Late

2011-01-08T09:34:00.000-08:00

Here are some pictures from Halloween 2010. The Boys had a great time and can't wait till next year so they can dress up again.

Soccer

2010-11-01T08:43:00.000-07:00

Brian got to Play in the YMCA Pee Wee Soccer league this past month. He loved being around all the other kids and getting treats after the game. Jackson wanted to get into the game so bad but he will have to wait till next year to play. It was fun for them both. I think we will try basketball next.

Camping 2010

2010-10-26T09:02:00.001-07:00

Here are some of our pictures from camping this summer. We really like to get out and have fun camping, it is a great way to spend time as a family with no other distractions!

This was our first camp trip in June. The Boys like to go on "Adventures" with their Dad. And they love roasting Hotdogs and marshmellows!

Our Next Camp outting was with Grandma Eiko on the 4th of July weekend right before we left for Japan. We really like to go camping with Grandma Eiko because she takes great pictures and the boys love playing with her!

Then over Labor day weekend we got to camp for 3 nights which was really nice not having to set up camp just for one night. We also had some great company! Tyler came up with his kids Isabelle and Thomas. And then Ken and Kristine joined us along with my Mom. It was a great campout! We can't wait to do it again next year!

Brian and Jackson's First Trip to Japan

2010-08-10T08:59:00.000-07:00

Here we are on our way to Japan the boys did really good on the long journey. It took 25 hours to get to Osaka with a stop in Los Angelos and a layover in Korea.

Finally we arrived at the Kansai Airport in Japan. It was so nice to be greeted by Some of our Family.

We have so many pictures I can't not post them all but here are some highlights from our trip. One stop we made was a visit with my Uncle Heihachiro's House, His wife has a ballet studio that they have on the first floor of their home.

Brian loves any type of animals, so he got to go to the pet store, the zoo and the Aquarium. Here are some pictures of the Osaka Aquarium it was a really neat place with some cool aquatic creatures.

Here are some pictures from one of my most favorite places in Japan, The Todaiji Temple in Nara. There are hundreds of deer that just live all around here and the tourits feed them, Some get a little agressive if they are hungry. My mom's Cousin Yoko and her husband Tomihiro and their Daughter Chieko took us there this trip and we had a wonderful time.

The boys had a chance to ride the Shinkansen(One of the fastest Trains) to the city of Atami to visit our Friends the Ogawa's. And Brian and Jackson visited the Ocean for the time. Here is Brian on the beach with the Pacific Ocean behind him.

My Mom's cousin Yoko put together a cousin reunion since we were coming. It was wonderful to get together with everyone. Here is a picture of all our family that was able to attend.

Brian loved going to the Amusement park with My Aunt Hozue and Uncle Masaki and my cousins Izumi and Asa. We Had a great time, Brian even got to ride his first roller coaster. I wish I got a picture of his face, I think he was a litte scared but he thought it was fun.

And here we are at the Airport ready to head home. It was sad to say Good-bye, but hopefully we will be able to go back soon.

Let's Go Swimming!

2010-06-04T08:19:00.000-07:00

Here is Brian already to go Swimming. He really loves to swim and with the Arm floaties he can cruise all around the pool all by him self.

Day Out with Thomas

2010-06-04T07:59:00.001-07:00

Brian and Jackson Love Thomas the Train, so this Memorial Day Weekend we took them down to Heber City to see Thomas and Take a ride on a Train.

Happy Birthday Grandma Eiko

2010-04-22T09:14:00.000-07:00

Grandma Eiko came up last weekend so we could celebrate her Birthday with her. We had a great weekend and a delicious Birthday Breakfast on Sunday. It is always fun when Grandma comes.

In their Sunday Best!

Finally, The Zoo is Open!

2010-04-22T09:06:00.000-07:00

The Zoo here in Idaho Falls opened on Saturday, and of course we had to go! Brian has been waiting all winter for this day. He had to have his very own map and he knew exactly where he wanted to go.

The Camels

The Zebras as you can plainly see. I didn't get a picture of the baby Zebra, it was really cute only one week old.

It is always neat to see the Peacocks.

The Lemurs, Of Course. Not to be confused with the monkeys. Brian will set you straight if you do call the monkeys.

We got a membership this year and have already been twice, so you can probably guess where we will be spending a lot of our time this summer.

Random Pix

2010-04-22T09:01:00.000-07:00

My Boys Love Their Popcorn!

Wearing one of Dad's hats.

Beau is such a good dog, he lets the Boys do about anything to him and he doesn't even care. Which is a good thing because Jackson loves him alot and loves to climb all over him.

Brian's Third Birthday

2010-02-22T08:05:00.001-08:00

Brian turned 3 on February 16. It is amazing how fast kids grow up. We had a fun birthday with Most of Todd's family and Grandma Eiko. He really enjoyed his cake!

On the Go

2010-01-13T08:50:00.000-08:00

Jackson took his first steps the other day. He is still a little scared and prefers crawling, but it is so exciting to see him getting around, so I thought I would share some videos of him on the move.

Christmas and New Year's 2009

2010-01-11T21:01:00.000-08:00

We started out our holiday celebrations Christmas Eve by Celebrating Todd's Birthday, He turned the big 30!

Here are the boys Christmas Morning, Santa brought Brian just what he asked for a Dump Truck, plus a fish tank with some goldfish. And Jackson got a Train he could push around.

We loved having Grandma Eiko spend Christmas with us, we all had a wonderful time together.

Even with all the toys they could want they loved playing with the bubble wrap!

Grandma and Grandpa Carey got the boys a great toy Barn with lots of animals, they love playing with them. Jackson is learning the animal sounds, he can say "Baa, Baa" for the sheep and "ruff, ruff" like a dog.

Jackson pushing his train, he was so happy he could do it by himself.
Here is Todd with our Christmas Dinner, not to fancy but pretty tasty. Our main dish was Prime Rib. I need to perfect my recipe and cooking technique, but we decided to make Prime Rib a Christmas Dinner Tradition, so I will get plenty of chances to do so.

An attempt to get a nice Family Christmas Photo, I think it is a lot harder to do so with two kids than one.

We had a wonderful Christmas and hope everyone else did too.

To Bring in the New Year we headed up to Bonners Ferry, to visit Grandpa Steve and Grandma Ruth. We had a nice relaxing time just hanging out and playing games, mostly Pinochle. Brian loved playing with his cousin they even got to go sledding in the Backyard one day. It is so nice to be able to spend the holidays with Family. Now it is back to the old Grind, We wish everyone the very best in the Coming year!

Tyler with Jackson at Grandpa and Grandma's House.

Enjoying the snow, while it lasted. It rained that afternoon and was gone by the next day.

And here is Jackson with his Great Grandpa Chet and his two furry companions.

A Christmas Party

2009-12-12T20:00:00.000-08:00

Last night was our Ward Christmas Party and they asked me to sing a song in the program. Since Todd was away on a business trip my mom came up to help me with the boys. It was a very nice party and we had a good time.

Here is Brian sitting in Santa's Chair.

This is the very first time Brian sat on Santa's lap and did not scream.

Jackson's Now One

2009-12-11T12:05:00.000-08:00

Jackson's Birthday was November 19 and I forgot to post some pictures,

So I decided better late than never.

He was mesmerized by the candle and he tried to touch the fire so Brian quickly helped him blow it out.

At first he was not sure about his cake but than he dug right in.

O' Christmas Tree

2009-12-06T14:48:00.000-08:00

Last Saturday we went up Christmas tree hunting and found a nice little tree. It was harder than I thought to find a nice tree. But it made for a fun family outing.

Todd and Brian cutting down the tree.

Trying to take a nice picture with our Christmas tree.

After we found our tree we drove a little further to check out Mesa Falls. Here is Beau looking down at the Falls. We could not get to the bottom of the Falls because the roads were closed for the winter, so hopefully we will go next spring or summer to see them up close.

And here is our Christmas tree all spruced up for the Holidays!

Trick or Treat

2009-11-02T21:16:00.000-08:00

Here we are just before we went out "trick of Treating" this Halloween. It was Brian very first time at it, by the end he was a pro. Beau did not like getting dressed up like a pumpkin, but it did score him a yummy doggy treat.

Our little Dragon and lion.

"Roar"

Happy Halloween!

2009-10-31T12:49:00.001-07:00

This morning we fianilly carved our Pumpkins. I took off Brians shirt so he could help scoop out the cuts but he was not quite sure about it, so I had the pleasure of scooping them out myself.

Boo at the Zoo

2009-10-31T12:34:00.001-07:00

Last night we went to Tauphaus Park Zoo for "Boo at the Zoo". As you all know Brian loves the zoo, so this was a big event for Him. He got to see all the animals and get candy at the same time. It was neat to see the animal this time of the year, they were so much more active than in the summer. And they looked much better with the full winter coats, not all shabby like they are in the summer.

They Penguin Cove.

You can't see but there is a nice looking camel behind them.

LAMAS

Lots of lighted Pumpkins, where the giant tortoises normally are.

When we got home we had to sort through our candy of course. Even Beau was so excited because there was a treat for him too.

Getting Around

2009-10-24T08:24:00.000-07:00

Jackson still does not like to be on his stomach because of his surgurey, but he is starting to tolerate it more and is now rolling over and over to get to things. But this is his preferred method of travel. Sorry it is not a good video, I lost my camera somewhere so I have been using our old one and it is only a 2 mega pixel that is why it is not very clear.

Let's go for a bike ride!

2009-10-24T08:14:00.000-07:00

The other day Brian wanted me to put Jackson on his bike so he could give him a ride. I thought is was pretty cute and Jackson liked it for the most part.

A Day at Silverwood

2009-10-01T15:44:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday we were able to go to Silverwood, in North Idaho. It was so much fun to spend the day playing with Grandma. Brian loved all the kiddie rides and Todd and I got to ride the roller coasters while Grandma watched the Boys.

Brian flying his first Airplane!

I love log rides!!

Waiting to take the Plunge!

It was such a nice day!

Riding in the "Freight Cars" as Brian would say. He loves Trains.

Catch Up!

2009-09-29T10:33:00.000-07:00

Our Computer has been acting up lately so that is why I have been bad at updating our blog.

Not to mention my camera has not been working the greatest.

So here are some of the few photos I took this summer.

Brian's favorite store is the Pet Store. Especially Petco because they have "baby carts".

Brian and Jackson just playing!

At the Pool!

Brian loves to swim with Daddy. And he now loves to call us "Todd" and "Sarah" instead of "Daddy" and "Mommy". I thought wouldn't happen till he got older.

Brian and Jay with Grandma's kittens.

And we had a great accomplishment, Brian is now Potty Trained!

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!!

2009-09-29T09:48:00.000-07:00

In July Grandma Ruth came down for a visit and she took us to the Zoo. Brian Loves the Zoo. He even knows how to spell zoo.

The Giant tortoises.

The Lion's Den.

The Penguin Habitat.
I guess I am not good at getting the animals in the pictures.

Just hanging out!

Here's a tiger!

Goats.

Camping with Grandma Eiko

2009-07-14T11:41:00.001-07:00

My Mom was up visiting and she wanted to go Camping so we Packed up our new tent trailer, that we found a yard sale and headed out. We found a wonderful spot at Indian Creek near Palisades reservoir. It rained most of the time but is was nice to just get out and relax.
I think this is the cutest picture of Brian and Beau that my mom took. The Creek was running so fast and was dirty because of all the rain.

Grandma Eiko with Jackson. Jackson loves to be outside.

Todd and Brian roasting Hot dogs. And Beau thinking were is mine.

A Beautiful June Wedding

2009-07-14T11:14:00.000-07:00

Todd's Sister Kim was married in the Rexburg, Idaho Temple on June 19, 2009 to Fredy Edwardo Vasqeuz. It was a Beautiful day for a wedding. It rained almost all of June and this day was the only day that had blue skies. We are so happy for Fredy and Kim they make a great couple!

Here is our Family on Todd's side it keeps growing and growing. His brother Matt will be getting married in August. And his brother Keith's wife Heather is expecting the first grand daughter in November. Only his Brother Kurt is not in this Picture because he is serving a mission in Mexico.

This is my favorite Picture.

I love weddings and Kim let me help all I wanted (Thanks Kim!) Here is a picture of Their Cake and Flowers that I got to Make. It was my first time making a wedding cake like this. I was very happy with the way it turned out and it tasted pretty good too!

Some Recent Pictures

2009-06-17T10:36:00.000-07:00

Jackson is doing very well, he is just like a normal baby now. So we have been trying to get out and do things. These pictures are from the zoo here in Idaho Falls, we went with grandma Eiko and Brian's cousins. He loves the Zoo and any kind of Animals.

Brian loves to follow around his cousins Tyler and Jay. He does whatever they do.

These are some pictures from a Saturday Drive we took.

My Boys sleeping this Morning. I thought they looked pretty sweet!

Jackson using Brian Elephant towel from Shannon. I am not sure he knew how cute he looked.

Jackson's First Hair Cut

2009-06-17T10:22:00.000-07:00

I thought it was about time for Jackson to get a hair cut. His hair was getting a little crazy! Here is the Before...

And After. I don't think he was too happy with me!

Welcome Home Baby Jackson!

2009-05-09T17:58:00.001-07:00

Yesterday I was able to Bring Jackson Home from the Hospital. We spent Two weeks at Primary Children's Medical Center, It was quite a Journey. I never expected to bring him home so soon. I can tell you that it was a miracle, The Lord has blessed us so much. He truly hears and answers our Prayers. Thank you every one for all you thoughts and prayers you sent out for us.

Here is Jackson today, it is not the best Picture and He probably needs a Hair cut too. But he is doing well except for a little pain and sometimes a belly ache.

This Picture was before surgery, we spent a week at the Hospital before they were able to get him in for his operation. We went in because his oxygen saturation kept falling. At this time he was staying about 60%, normally we are supposed to be at 95%. So they had him on High Flow oxygen at 7 liters which is a lot. And it really blows hard in your nose, but he was a champ and didn't once complain. All the Doctors and Nurses could not believe how happy he was all the time.

Here he is the Day after surgery, They preformed the operation on Thursday, April 30 2009. As you can see he was hooked up to a lot of tubes and wires. They operation went very well. It was hard to see him like this.

My poor little Guy!

Thursday May 7, a week after surgery was my Birthday. And I had a wonderful surprise from some of my wonderful Family. They Came to visit us and threw me a little birthday celebration. It was so nice to have some visitors, It really brightened my day. Thank you so much!

Me, Kristine, Thomas, Skylie, Isabelle, Marsha, and Jackson in the Wagon.

The Best Birthday Present of all was the wonderful recovery of My sweet Baby.

Primary Children's Hospital was such a great place. There were so many great Doctors and Nurses, I can't thank them enough. I also met so many other families with similar situations and it was so wonderful to see there faith and strength. I can't believe all the little children there with illnesses were so strong and they wouldn't let anything get them down. I sure learned a lot the last 2 weeks and have gained a greater testimony of my Lord, and Savior Jesus Christ and of His Gospel. I know with out a doubt that it is True!!

A Hair Cut For Brian

2009-05-09T17:45:00.000-07:00

Today we thought Brian was in much need for a Haircut.

We tried a Mowhawk first, but thought that might not go over well with the Grandmas.

And since it is getting warmer we decided just to buzz it off.
So Here is our little Monk!

Bye Bye Hair!

A Fun Weekend Filled With Birthdays and Family!

2009-04-21T11:53:00.000-07:00

Today Jackson had his 4 month check up. He now weighs 11 lbs 13 oz and is 23 inches long. He was put back on Oxygen two weeks ago. We go see the cardiologist next week and hopefully then we will know a little more about his next surgery and when it will be. But for now he is doing really well and is a wonderful baby. We love him so much!

Dancing With the Stars

2009-03-19T21:28:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Brian!

2009-03-06T09:47:00.000-08:00

Brian turned two on February 16th, I thought this was a cute video. We practiced and practiced blowing out candles. He kept wanting us to relight them so he could blow them out again.

Another Funny Thing

2009-02-24T16:09:00.000-08:00

Today I was getting ready to go out and I had put Jackson in his car seat all bundled up. I then went into the Kitchen when I turned around I noticed the Dog food bowl was empty. At first I thought Oh no Brian dumped it all over the carpet. But I was wrong, I went back in to living room to find Jackson in his car seat all covered in dog food. He never cried though. Needless to say Brian was sent to his room. And Jackson got a bath. I didn't get a Picture so you will Just have to use you imagination. Any way it is never boring when you have little Kids around.

The Funny things Kids do

2009-02-13T20:34:00.000-08:00

The other night I was holding Jackson and walking around when Brian picked up his new Elmo (Thanks Kristine he loves it) and started following me around copying everything I did. I was rocking Jackson so he had to rock his baby elmo. We thought it was cute. Then after we took some pictures, he had to take some too. He set his Elmo next to Jackson and said "Cheese Elmo, Cheese Jackson" Here is a picture he took.

Cousins

2009-01-20T18:01:00.000-08:00

A Day Out Together

2008-10-09T13:20:00.000-07:00

A Couple of weeks ago. Todd and I decided we needed a Break, so we dropped Brian off with Todd's sister Kim and our good friend Rachelle in Idaho Falls and headed over to the Tetons. We Hiked over to Hidden Falls by Jenny lake. Which we both paid for the next day, it was a 4 1/2 mile hike. But it was nice to get out. Then we had a nice dinner and show at the Bar J ranch with the Bar J Wranglers.

A Day With Grandma and Grandpa Carey

2008-08-28T13:38:00.000-07:00

Todd's Parents came for a quick visit. We went up to the State Capitol building for some site seeing. And had a nice dinner at the Mayan Adventure. Brian got to spend some good quality time with them one on one which I think they all enjoyed.

Carey Family Reunion

2008-08-17T13:37:00.000-07:00

The last week of July we headed up to Island Park, Idaho For a fun Family Reunion with Todd's Family. There were a lot of people there with all of Todd''s Extended Family. The first Picture was taken right before the pie eating contest which turned into a pie food fight. But I didn't get any good pictures because my camera said it was out of batteries. Then on the right is Brian with Grandpa. Brian loves to ride on the 4-wheelers, but they never fails to put him to sleep.

Here is Brian with some cousins just sitting on the Dock. And Then Todd and Brian on the Paddle Boat. I think Brian likes swimming in a pool better than a lake.

This is Brian with his cousins Jay and Tyler just chillin. Brian loves his cousins and loves to do what they do. Now at the Carey Reunions no one goes Hungry there is always an abundance of food. As you can see in this last picture the table is cover with food and most of us were done eating. The last night they had a shrimp fest. They boiled potatoes, onions, sausages, and shrimp with all kinds of seasonings and then just poured it on the table for everyone to dig in. It was fun and the Food was good. Todd was one of the last ones standing. They cooked almost 40 lbs of shrimp. We had such a good time with Todd's family that we all headed up to Bonners Ferry to spend some more time together and so Todd could get some good fishing in. But I didn't take any pictures. So that is all for now.

Lets Get Cooking

2008-02-08T22:24:00.000-08:00

Tonight Brian found my spring form pan to play with. He then thought is would make a comfy seat. I guess he prefers to sit in cooking items, for it was not the first time we found him sitting in a pan, as you can see.
