Halloween Fun!

These pictures are from my lovely camera! Ricky has the pictures from Halloween night on his camera, those will be coming soon! This was the pumpkin carving and a Halloween party!

The finished products!!




The kids all love Halloween! Sage and Jade are sleeping beauty! Jade wanted to be what Sage was! Hunter decided to make a change this year and instead of being a cowboy he wanted to be spiderman! He loved it! Paxton had a great time has the frog prince. We had a great Halloween!




The horse ride....

Last weekend my dad took Hunter out to Antelope Island for a horse ride. Before they left Jade really wanted to ride so they went for a little ride! Paxton enjoyed sitting on the grass with Grandma and watching the dog and the horse! Thanks Grandpa for taking the kids on a ride! They love every minute of it!!










2009 Family Pics



































Yellowstone 2009

Two weeks ago we went to Yellowstone for our annual trip! It was way warm for the last weekend of September! It was really fun though. We went with my parents, the Golds(family friends), and McKay and Dixie! There is a fire in Yellowstone and the kids entertained themselves in the trees while we waited in a really long line of cars to get by the worst part of the fire. Sage's crazy eyes!




Our cute Jade!!


Hunter has a mean face on because he didn't want Sage on "his" rock!







Some of the elk we saw!



A deer! We dont' see a lot of deer in Yellowstone.



The fire...so sad!

This was a helicopter landing in the lake to fill up the bag underneath with water. We watched it while waiting to go through the worst part of the fire. They were sending 20 cars through at a time.

Labor Day and the Zoo......

We went to the Zoo on Labor day with all of the rest of Utah! When we drove up and I saw how many cars were there I thought, "why are we doing this!" But it wasn't that bad once we were inside. We didnt' get there until later in the afternoon and a lot of people were leaving by then. The kids had tons of fun! Hunter was so very excited. Apparently I am the worst mom ever because he said he had never gone to the zoo. Thinking back I think the last time I went was when he was about six months old! So sad! My Hunter who loves all animals! Ricky is of course hunting so we went with my Mom and Dad and my niece Eliza came with us too!


Had to get a picture of Paxton enjoying the zoo!





Cute baby giraffe!

Jade was a little concerned about the animals. She kept thinking they were going to bite her!



Eating ice cream, thanks grandpa!






The joys of the playground!!

School Has Begun......

Last week Sage started the second grade! She loves it! The first day she got off the bus and said, "I want to go back!" I am so happy that she loves it so much! Getting ready to go on the bus!


Today Hunter started his first day of Kindergarten! So crazy! He was so so so excited! I hope he loves it! What a cute kid!

Sage and Hunter going off to school together!


Hunter and his two buddies, Will and Andrew!
The sun is in this picture alot but I loved it because you can see how excited Hunter is about getting on the bus!

Hunter's First Soccer game

This weekend we went to Tony Grove with some friends and had a ball. Even though we got there late and had to leave early, it was totally worth it.

We hurried home from Tony Grove so we wouldn't be late for Hunters first Soccer game. He did so good, even though it was horribly hot. It was so fun to see Hunter and his little buddies chase the ball around, they actually did pretty good though.

This is the team celebrating the first goal of the season, Hunter was stoked!!!

Go "Green Dragons"


Webster Family Reunion 2009

Last weekend we had a big family reunion at Warm Springs Resort in Hanna, Utah! It was super fun! The Webster family is awesome and so fun to be around! It was fun seeing all my cousins and their kids and all my aunts and uncles! The place was really great! There was a lake that we could use paddle boats and kayaks, a river that we could tube down, and of course with the Webster's there is always a ton of good food!! This is my cousins wife Chelsea, and cute little Paxton!



Hunter and Curtis!


The paddle boats! Grandma Webster even got in them! Sage is in the middle of this boat!

My cousin Hannah, with Jade and Paxton!

Sage was so brave and she had such a fun time kayaking! Way to go Sage!!


I finally convinced Jade to get in a boat. She didn't want to at first but then she loved it!

Grandma and Paxton and my cousin Sara in the background!



The River! The kids had such a great time tubing down a little tiny, tiny waterfall thing! The adults made a circle and just send the kids down and then caught them!



Jade and Paxton got tired!


This is my Grandparents and my parents and my dads siblings! Hence the Webster family heads!

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Webster for such a great weekend! We loved it! It was so great to get together and play and get to know one another better!

Bloomington Idaho

We went to Bloomington Lake up in Idaho with some friends this last weekend. It was way cooler than usual but we still had a ball! The kids did great as usual, even in the rain and wind, they were all troopers!!

Sea shell hunting was a big hit on friday.
Thank goodness for showers, these two cuties learned that the mud was much warmer than Bear Lake.
This dog ran away from it's owner, It was awesome to see the owner try to keep up with the dog. The guy had no chance of catching it, we never saw them again, he is probably still running.
The boys took all the kids for a ride. We have the greatest husbands in the world, all us girls hung at in the house and talked all afternoon.
Here is a pretty picture Ricky wanted me to post, I think it's pretty cool how the water is silky looking. This was right off the side of the road, Bloomington is so beautiful!!
Sage, Taylie, and Kyla had a ton of fun in the Rangers and on our hike.
Here is Jade with one of her famous poses.
We took the whole crew to the ice caves.
There is snow in this cave year round. At some of the lower parts of the cave there is several inches of ice year round too. Thus the name "Ice Cave"

Camping on the Monroe

We Went camping again over the 24th of July, it was so nice to get out of the heat. We had so much fun cruising around in the Ranger. This was our camp spot on the Monroe

We put almost 300 miles on the Ranger and the kids did great!!

The kids found a large stock pile of lady bugs and stayed entertained for quite some time catching and holding them.


The kids got to see quite a few elk.



Ogden Rodeo


We went to the Ogden Rodeo

Soapstone Camping

My sister Amy started the whole wilderness painting thing last year at Scofield and it really caught on. All the kids spent hours painting their little fort area, it was awesome. Don't worry it's not permanent, after a couple of rain storms the trees will be back to normal. Jade and her cousin Jake where so cute together, they worked side by side for hours!



Sage loves to paint and it shows.




Our cousin Jake Wight, Jade's little accomplice





Jade ruined more than one set of clothes this weekend, good thing it was all water based paint.


The kids had so much fun riding in the Ranger, the jeep, and on the four wheelers. It was like musical chairs everytime we stopped. And we had to stop a ton because the girls thought it was so fun to use Grandma's potty. Grandma decided to stop giving them water because it was getting a little out of hand, it was so funny.




We found some Mountain Goats on the cliffs we stopped to look at, Ricky and Matt where so excited you would have thought they found a pot of gold. They took a ton of pictures. It was cool because the kids got to see the goats. The mountain goat is right next to the tree in the first picture. It's kind of far away, but that little white spec is a moutain goat laying down.
This goat was literally on the edge of the cliff, it's hard to see it but it is near the middle.
Here is the same goat looking up at Ricky





Rain was the story of the day on Thursday, It was nice it wasn't dusty.
Here are some wild flowers Ricky found on one of his early morning adventures. I don't understand why he doesn't want to sleep in when we are on vacation, oh well.



Kurt Draper, Matt Drapers dad, tracked us down with his GPS and dropped in to say hi. Their bikes where so shiny, they seemed out of place with all the dust.



Ricky really likes his new truck, even though we have had it for a while.

Thursday Night we went to the Oakley rodeo.

More Rodeo and bugs

Not sure what the boys where looking for, but I don't think they ever stopped looking for it.


Sage wants a pet goat now, I don't see that happening

Aren't those boots so cute!!!



Hunter still loves the rodeo










I don't understand Ricky recent interest in bugs, but apparently we have lots of them in and around our yard.







Glad these critters aren't any bigger







this dragon fly is actually on stucco








Chipmunk



















May in a Glance........

So I have not blogged forever! May came and went and it seemed the last thing I wanted to do was blog! Well today I decided that it was finally time! So sorry about the wide assortment of pictures but this is what we have been up to in the last month! The first pictures are the most recent and then they go on from there! This first picture is of the air show last Saturday! It was really fun to go watch the Thunderbirds!

This is something Ricky found excited one night! Getting pictures of water! I don't understand him! But it turned into a cool picture!
He has also been really excited about taking pictures of bugs! Tonight he wants to take the kids for a bug hike to go find bugs!

These are pictues Ricky took while Sage was watching TV and I was reading!





In May Hunter also had another rodeo! He did great!











This was our San Rafael trip over Memorial Day weekend. It rained a lot but we still had tons of fun! We did Goblin Valley again which the kids love and went on some great trails!













On Sunday there was a flash flood covering the road. It was crazy how much water there was! We had to wait about 30 minutes before attempting to go through!














This was Sage's first grade program at the end of the year!

Sage also had a dance competition in May!


And also in May Sage turned 7! We went to dinner and then had cake and ice cream! It was a great day!




More Pictures.....

Here are some more amazing Ricky pictures. Paxton looks so cute! We just love this little guy!







This was Friday night. We had a movie night and then the kids wanted to have a sleepover with each other. They all slept in the girls room on the floor. It was really funny! They were sad that this couldn't happen everynight!

Sage this week had a singing performance. She did great and really loves to sing!













A few pictures.......

Here are a few pictures of Paxton. I took them so they are not like Ricky's! Sorry! But I just wanted to post a few more of the cute kid I have!! He is doing great!






Another Rodeo........

Hunter had another rodeo on Tuesday night. Sage and I went to "Wicked", which was amazing!! Ricky took Hunter and Jade to the rodeo and a good friend stayed home with Paxton!! It worked out great! Hunter did good Ricky said but he was a little more afraid of the goat this time. He said it was bigger! He loves going though and loves watching everything. He is our little cowboy!








Jade also enjoying everything!!






A New Baby!!!!!!

Paxton David Bangerter was born on April 17th at 11:30pm. He weighed 7lbs 4 oz and is 20 inches long. He came along just like the others! Ricky and I went out to dinner with my parents and I was feeling some tightening, but it was more consistent, about every 5 minutes it would get tight. So after dinner we decided to just go to the hospital and see if I was dilating at all. The nurses never take me seriously when I go in and say that I think I might be in labor. The nurse was kind of rude when she asked me what I was feeling and how many weeks I was. They put me in a room and didn't come back for an hour to check me. They checked me finally at around 9:15pm. I was dilated to a 6 plus. So apparently I was staying and having a baby. The nurse was like, "I am going to go call your doctor"! I got the epidural right after that and then the doc broke my water and at 11:30 out he came! It all happened pretty fast! He is healthly and doing great! We love our new brother!
