Merry Christmas

New Pictures of our Ladybug

2010-10-09T21:31:00.000-07:00

Thanks Tiff so much for doing these hopefully I can get the boys to take some soon with her. She is 3 weeks old and such a sweet baby girl. I feel so blessed to have her.

2010-09-19T13:55:00.000-07:00

What the heck is on going on with my computer I don't know why my pictures are not posting. Taelee did come home a week ago today. She was born on the 5th of Sept weighing a big 6lbs and 11 oz. The labor and delivery was not fun at all. She came here really fast, so fast the stupid epidural didn't even do its job, so it was a whirlwind. She had to stay in the hospital for a week, she caught pneumonia and had a numathorax that's like a air bubble that got pushed out of her lung. It was a wild emotional experience we went thru. We were so grateful that she got to stay there and get taken care of. The nurses and staff were great, and she got royal treatment. Thanks to everybody who came up and visited us, and for all the prayers on her behalf. I will figure out how to post some more pictures.

Taelee arrived

Forgot this one they are sharing chickens, Quinn catches them and gives them to Rudger.

2010-09-11T09:20:00.000-07:00

Forgot I had more pictures of the summer, going out and getting some firewood, holding chickens, and my favorite of all, Quinn enjoying his artistic side. He had it everywhere, doors, dressers, my scriptures, and our sheets.

Tiff gave me a wonderful baby shower and I got so much stuff. I feel so blessed to have such great people in my life. My mom brought her wonderful huge chocolate fountain and we had all kinds of yummies to go with it. Thanks so much to everybody that helped Tiff, and for all the great gifts. Tiff you are deeply appreciated and I am so grateful to have you as my sister-in-law.

Over theSummer!

2010-09-07T12:26:00.000-07:00

Rudger is always climbing up to things, into things, he is all over the place, but I am so thankful that he is a handful.

We got to see grandma Donna and her wonderful husband Grandpa Austin, it was so good to see you guys!

The boys getting ready to go to Aunt Jamie's for the 4th of July in Heber, our favorite time of year.


All of these pictures are all over the place we had a great time spending time with family and playing out at the ranch. We are so blessed to live where we do, to be able to raise our children in such a wonderful place, and to have what we have. Ben and I also celebrated our 5th anniversary on June 3rd, holy cow he is still with me thanks babe for putting up with my crazy self I love you. Some of these pictures are of the 24th of July, and camping up in Vernon with the Hall family. Of course we can not have pictures without the sibling Tenney Reunion, which every year is hilarious. We celebrated Quinn's 3rd birthday which does make me sad but its been nice to have him potty trained and starting to talk English. Quinn we love you much and I am so grateful everyday that you are our "Lovebug" you are a very soft tender hearted boy. You are so much like your dad which I am so grateful for, and you are such a big help to me with Rudger. I love how you love to be with your dad or grandpa's so much, and to go fishing at the pond, or to go play ball, and how excited you get to see your cousins. Thank you for starting out my day every morning with a hug and good morning kiss. We Love YOU!

2010-06-08T13:24:00.000-07:00

So in the month of May we seemed to have a lot going on. I need to go take some pictures of our pigs and our newly hatched chicks, I will put them on my next one. Dad Tenney saved me from getting some Geese I was going to get those but I thought I should tell my husband and Dad Tenney first, and they had to put there foot down on that one. But maybe I will surprise them with an alpaca. Hehehe! We finally took Quinn Bowling and he actually really liked it. It took him just one try to realize that he cannot kick the ball down the aisle he had to roll it. We finally got a handy dandy roller thing cause all the bumpers were taken up, and he still enjoyed that. Rudger was to interested in eating candy and playing with the fan that drys your hands off. I think anything that has to do with a ball Quinn will always be entertained.

I took the boys to Willow Spring Lake holy cow it was windy, but I really don't think that they feel the wind.
Quinn's buddy Cade 50% of the time. They don't know that they are going to be the bestest of friends when they grow up, but as for right now Tanz and I will still be pulling them apart from one another, or mostly fighting it out.

Quinn Loves to go to Grandpa Roy's house, this day he got to ride the horse and grandpa and him went into the orchard and a tree got a hold of Quinn, but he stayed on the horse, and he still tells me all the time about his Owweeeii with papa on the horse.

We love having a sand box especially 40ft away from the front door!
Nothing like Licorice and a handful of sand, yummie! This boy looks like this each and every day, he is the dirtiest, quietest mess maker I have ever seen. He turns my life upside down, but I wouldn't trade it for the world, even when he takes off his diaper all the time, and poops everywhere and pees on everything. We are making some funny memories out here at the Tenney Ranch!

2010-05-24T15:41:00.000-07:00

ITS A GIRL!!!
Ya most everybody knows that I am prego again.
But this time its a GIRL. I would have to say that I was 90% sure it
was a boy. I am so excited about another little one, and that its a girl, I am due in Sept somewhere, they keep changing the date on me, I just hope she doesn't come during Elk time. Ben finally got drawn for Archery Bull in our area yea! But of course its in September. He was so thrilled about his hunt, almost more than finding out we were having a girl, crazy man! I am excited for the month of Sept, being full out large in the summer not really to excited for that, but o-well Its a girl so I will take it.

FINALLY AN UPDATE!!

2010-04-26T13:54:00.000-07:00

I finally had a few moments to post some pictures. I am way late in putting them up, but I needed to do it. So that is why I have picture from christmas.

He falls asleep in the craziest places!

Rudger finally started walking in March Poor Rudger I didnt even make him a birthday cake, but I think he still enjoyed the store bought one. We celebrated his birthday at my mom's house in Prescott. Can NOT believe that he is one.

Just some picture of Quinn, I dont know why I buzzedhishair I loved it long.

We got so much snow at the ranch Ben couldnt resist. Quinn and I couldnt either.

Here are some picture of Christmas with the Halls and at our house Christmas morning.

2009-11-12T14:45:00.000-08:00

We had our family pictures done finally, and I finally got it figured out how to put them on my blog. Thank you Aunt Tiff for the great pictures, you really do have a talent. There were some really good ones, but these were the ones I really liked and had time to put them up.

San Diego Here We Come

2009-11-05T11:37:00.000-08:00

We got to go on a vacation for 6 days in sunny California. We got to stay at Oceanside and enjoy the beautiful sunsets and the laid back lifestyle. We had so much fun, just hanging out with eachother and the boys. This was our first vacation as a family, so we were really excited. We celebrated Bens birthday while we were there. Big 28 you are so old babe! The only downfall of the trip was we always picked the wrong place to eat. We got to stay in a penthouse, it was 3 bedrooms and 3 baths and this was our view on our balcony! We were by a marina and there were some small little shops, but not much shopping and eating around. Thank goodness we bought food, the place was furnished so we could make meals. Of course we went swimming at the swimming pool. Quinn did not like the ocean one bit.

We stopped in Yuma so my Grandma Donna and Grandpa Austin could see the boys, it was good to see them.

Of course the Dunns this is amazing to me.

This is the first time Quinn saw the ocean and he wouldnt get off the step.

It was very very foggy that day and kinda cold.

Quinn was ready to go as soon as he got there, he was gettin our sandals and trying to put them on our feet. I was cracking up!

Quinn was saying goodbye to the ocean, Im sure hoping to never see it again, but little did he know.

We at least got drive by the Temple, several years we got to do a session there, that has got to be one of the prettiest temples.

The next day we ventured over to Coronado, which the bridge was so fun to go over. Rudger loved the sand. Quinn wasnt still to sure about everything.

Ben was trying to talk Quinn into putting his feet in the water.

My three boys!

He finally got down from Bens arms just to get near the birds, whatever works.

We went the next day to the zoo I have a ton of pictures. The was such a great place to be. I could not believe that you could seriously be there all day. We still didnt get to see the panda's even. I think that we saw everything else. The boys were so good and Quinn loved it. Rudger enjoyed the big animals, probably cause he could see them the best. Quinn loved the Turtles. Ben loved the giraffes the most, I loved the funky looking ones, that we couldnt even pronounce.

Polar bear was starring right at them. They were hugemagous.

We had to take a break and Quinn loved the nachos that he had to lick the bowl clean.

Kissing Turtles!

I am lucky that I married somone that will play with the boys.

I love this picture of them. We walked down to the pier, it is the oldest and longest pier in southern Califonia. There were tons of surfers all around it.

This was our little house, we were sad to leave it. Thanks babe for the fun time we had. I loved being with you and the boys so much, hopefully we will have many more of these.

Pumpkin Patch

2009-11-05T08:57:00.000-08:00

We thought that it would be so much fun to take the kids over to snowflake to pick out some pumpkins, and of course we choose a cold windy day. The boys seemed to like it, and of course we took alot of pictures and I tried to get some with everybody, but of course nobody was looking at the camera, I dont even have any with Cade looking at the camera, but I think they had fun just hanging out with eachother.

This was a corn lancher or gord, whatever it was it got the boys attention for a little bit.

Some cute picture of the boys.

Of course we tried to get everybody in.

I found this pictures that I took just barely and thought they were so cute, I had to put them up, since I have not been the best blogger. The boys love bath time, and Quinn plays pretty good with Rudger. Thank goodness!

Quinn got his first black eye, which I thought he hit his forehead, and so I was kissing on his forehead and telling him to rub it off, and he kept rubbing his eye, then a few minutes later Ben says Tara what the heck did he do to his eye. He was in a high stool and leaned forward and smacked his face on the counter. Poor boy!

2009-10-06T14:38:00.000-07:00

Dad 50th party

Rudger and Dad so happy together.

We love to go riding in the ranger and Quinn loves to throw his hands up when we go down hills.

We have been fishing more since Quinn got his own pole, he can even cast it now.

This is such a neat picture to me, Sadie our dog,(mom Tenney's dog really) and our chickens. Sadie never messes with them, she is just chilllin watching them run by the door.

2009-09-17T14:42:00.000-07:00

This is for the previous picture of the hot dog, since I forgot to mention what it was, its a plastic wrapper that was wrapped inside the bun and around the hot dog. yummy uh!

DAD Randy turned the BIG 50

2009-09-14T14:20:00.000-07:00

What a month!!!! Dad turning 50 Grandma Shelia Bird turning 70. This cake is for both of them, the right side is the pepsi logo and the other one if you cant make it out its a hill with green grass on one side and black grass on the other, ya I am really creative. Ben gave me the idea for grandma. We went to Fools Hallow lake to celebrate Dad's birthday, he insisted that he was not going to be here, so I did not want to throw a party. Grandma the wonderful lady that she is, could not take that, so she said we are throwing some sort of a party and I thought it was perfect. Dad did not want alot of people and I think he was happy with the outcome. We got to eat eat eat and go down by the dock and fish and enjoy eachother company. Dad I love you thank you for everything that you have done for me, and the example you are. You are my bestest friend. Of course Grandma is why I am who I am, she is my rock my friend and has been a wonderful mother to me. I am glad I was there to celebrate your guys birthday's with you. My 2 special people who I owe so much to.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Ya I know the post is really late. But this is my scrapbook!

Grandpa Randy has found a new fishin buddy, I think he could do a night fishin.

Getting ready to open some presents. He didnt even get bad gag gifts either.

Aunt Jessie with Rudger, she loves her babies!

Ok this has nothing to do with the party, but
I had to put it in here, cause its my scrapbook. This is a special treat Quinn got for lunch one day, he was outside sitting on the porch eating and I could see he was playing with his corn dog, so I shout "Quinn stop playing with your food" He looks at me and goes "EEEEKKKK" that means usually he is poopie, I go outside and this is what he had. I wanted to call Foster Farms and I still might, I just need to get on the ball. Isnt that lovely! My poor kid!

A Wonderful Time in the Woods

2009-09-01T18:27:00.000-07:00

So we had our annual trip to the woods in Vernon with the Halls. It was so much fun, but we also had a camper trailer and a comfy bed and a toilet yea. We had fun hanging out with cousins, enjoying not having any responsibilites, and eating till our belly's were on overload. Ben says thats his kinda camping, dutch oven ever night. Of course it could not be complete without sobe Bombs in the fire at night, and a couple of nights of singing and telling jokes or skits around the campfire. It was neat just to get away for a bit.

Quinn had so much fun with Sid, but we all did she is a very special young lady.

Rudger doing what he does best Chillin!

Ben and the boys at the top of greens peak, it was awesome, Ben did like the drive up the hill but it was funny to make him drive up it.

2009-09-01T16:39:00.000-07:00

The view at Greens Peak was beautiful but I was ready to get off, my knees were shaking and I got really quezie, not to mention that Quinn was jumping up and down and banging on the fence cause he could see his Dad and Rudger, it was very scary, but glad we did it.

He is saying "What the heck were going up that."

Aunt Kelly teaching Quinn to peace out dude!

Thank goodness for bouncie balls

2009-09-01T14:27:00.000-07:00

Giving a pose in the beautiful forest

My dad was really cooking bacon

Rudger did a lot of this, thanks to David and Gay for the hook-ups we got to sleep in luxury.

Quinn you were always so happy expecially when you had candy.

The kids even got to have a pinata, Quinn you were a terd about this, you cried so hard when it was somebody else got a turn. It was funny now looking back.

2009-09-01T13:57:00.000-07:00

I am so behind on pictures and all over the place. Here are some pictures that happend over the month of July. Quinn and Cade Crandell hanging out on the bean bag.

Of course I had to put this picture of Jonathan and Rudger since that's Rudgers middle name, and this is the guy we named him after.
Then there is my little brother Jace Rudd, always giving a helping hand, holding his name sake.

Quinn with Uncle Ron at the Tenney reunion, waiting to get a ride on the horse.Finally got a turn, and got to ride with Trevor, yea yea. Then he would never get off.

2009-08-06T22:18:00.000-07:00

Our little boy turned 2 on the 19th of July!!! What a weekend, we had a huge Tenney Reunioun, that is probably spelt wrong, we had horses thanks to Monti Hancock that old man is wonderful, four wheelers, crafts, pinatas, food, mallows, laughter, food and so much fun, and of course Morgan and Paul that is all Quinn wants to do is be around them. Which sometimes makes me sad, he doesnt want me to hold him, only when he get hurt or wrestles to hard, I will take what I can get though. On Sunday I built a cake and we all got to sing Happy Birthday to him everybody was there, even some from my family braved to come out, and support him. I wonder where the time has gone, my little bald baby boy is no more. I am so grateful for, grateful for your smile and your laughter, your contagious smile I should say, cause the gap teeth make it so dang cute and funny. I love how you talk in your own special way, how you love to be so active and do so many things and you can do them all so well, and that you never give up on trying new things. I am grateful that you came to us, to have your sweet spirit in our home. I am grateful for the patience you are giving me each and every day. You are loved by so many people and everybody thinks that you are so cute. Quinn you are such a blessing in our life and we love you so very much, Thank you for being the little boy that you are, Happy Birthday, mom and dad love you so much xxooxxo!!!

You Big Birthday BIKE

And your Big Birthday Cake

The day you were born, it seemed just yesterday.

One proud Daddy!

Swim, Birthdays, Anniversary's and growing Boys

2009-08-06T21:46:00.000-07:00

I got to put Quinn in one more swimming session during the end of June and first of July, can I say what the heck was I thinking!! My little mountain Boys did not do good in the heat at all. Quinn did good at lessons, but by the last day of them he got heat exhaustion which scared me half to death. I skipped the last day and flew up the mountain to cooler weather. It took him about 2 days to recover, poor little man. I also got to go see the play WICKED FINALLY!!!! All I got to say is Toss Toss. Loved it!!! I went with my grandma and Aunt Kelly and Sidney. Of course it was great to go to a play with grandma, since she was the one who took me and Candise all the time when we were younger, to the Phantom and Les Mes. It was wonderful. Ben and I also celebrated our 4th Anniversary. Honestly I cant remember what we did, probably nothing, but I think that we were together and with our boys, which is what we love to do the most. Some of these pictures are random and in no order just things that we have done.

This is Grandma Tenney, at the Big Tenney Reunion.

Rudger chillin on the grass, funny story about this, Ben was actually laying next to him and trying to help me with my golf swing. I get this great idea that I want to just hit one really hard, thinking that it will go over our wooden fence. I get the driver out and my first attempt it went really far, so I got excited and wanted to do it again. Of course my very cautious husband said I think that's enough, a ball could hit the fence and blah blah blah. He is laying down enjoying the sun, and I swing with all my might and the ball hits the fence and comes back towards him and the baby and it goes between his legs and hits his buttocks, so funny after I realized that the baby is fine. I was dying, so we dont do any driving in the yard anymore.

2009-06-02T13:46:00.000-07:00

I wanted to go for a walk, and of course our stroller that is made for the rough roads had flat tires. So I took the only stroller I had. I made a big mistake, but I was to stubborn to turn around. We walked up the big hill to Grandma Tenney's, not even half way and Quinn wanted me to carry him. You can barely see Rudgers head, I didnt work out for like 2 days after that.

The Big Hill

My Beautiful sister, who I really miss.

Jace Rudd Graduation

2009-06-02T13:29:00.000-07:00

Ben and I went to Prescott Valley to Rudd's high school graduation, holy cow that is the baby of my family. We stayed at my mom's for a couple of days, which was fun of course and crazy. The Hall family came and supported him, and we had to check out downtown Prescott, which is awesome. Of course we had a great lunch/dinner, then we had to get some ice cream. The boys loved, but I think they love Sid more. Who doesn't we all love you Sid you are a beautiful young lady and very special to us.

This was a present from the old man "Dad" they went to Alaska on a fishin Trip. Clint and Jordan went also. Lucky! Jace you deserve it, keep up the good work we are proud of you.

Of course the big supporters, Grandma and PaPa Roy.

What a bunch of good looking boys, (men).

My Big Boys

2009-05-28T22:03:00.000-07:00

I am so grateful for Rudger, he will sleep anywhere.

Quinn will to, if he is really tired.
They give the same looks.

Quinn loves to go out to the garden, with Ben and Grandpa Tenney.

2009-05-15T17:52:00.000-07:00

I love this picture, Quinn wants to hold Rudger all the time.

I have been wanting to go golf for awhile, and finally we went. Ben said that it was my mothers day gift, ya right, I thought it was so much fun. He said that I did pretty good, I drove it over a pond, but I still have no idea about pars and boggies or eagles. That stuff is so confusing. So now I want some clubs and to go more often. We will see about that! We took Quinn with us it was so fun, he had a ball. Once he figured that the ball goes in the hole he would jump out with his little club and take off to the hole. The only bad part was I hit the top of my head on the golf cart getting in. I swore and started to cry, it hurt so bad. I got over it but my head was sore for a couple of days. I am glad that Ben and I have so much in common and we are still finding things that we can do together, thanks babe, we are going to have to do it more often.

Blessing Day

2009-05-15T17:39:00.000-07:00

On May 3rd 2009 We blessed Rudger. Ben and all his brothers, and brother in laws, and my brother and dad were all able to be there and particapate. It was so amazing to see such a good turnout. I feel so grateful to have such a wonderful and supporting family. Ben and I have been blessed with such another wonderful little boy. Thank you to everybody that came.

2009-05-15T16:07:00.000-07:00

Jace, Grandpa Randy PaPa Roy and Grandma Sheila.

My mom came from Prescott, thanks mom

2009-05-15T15:56:00.001-07:00

The Boys watching Toy Story! Quinn and Rudger just chillin on the grass.

Getting some rings!

2009-05-15T14:49:00.000-07:00

SWIMMING LESSONS

2009-04-24T09:22:00.000-07:00

Call me crazy, I put Quinn in swimm lessons down in the valley. We drive down there for 3 days a week for 4 weeks. We only got to do 3 weeks because of my surgrey. So far it has been so neat to watch Quinn. I could never be the one to dunk him under water, so I am glad that she does. He holds his breath really well, and this last week he loves to pick up rings at the bottom. He seems to like it all until he goes down to the deep in, and has to go off the diving board. When it first started I didnt know what to think. He would cry, and I just wanted to hold him, but at the same time I was laughing, because it was crazy to see him go under water. Hopefully I will be able to continue with the lessons this summer. Carly and Sefo have been wonderful in letting us stay with them, and of course my grandma Shelia. When we come back home on Thursday's I get excited to see Ben. I sure miss him those couple of days. I sure am more grateful for him, being away from him makes me realize that he does a whole lot for me and the boys.

I got to go see Baby Lewis, and he is so beautiful. Precious and sweet. Jessica does have her hands filled. She is such a wondeful and tender mother, and been blessed with great patience. I just heard good news that he may be going off oxygen and could be going off the feeding tube. That is wonderful to hear. Jessica you are such a special person.

Quinns new girlfriend Kaylan. Kelly Young's baby girl is also doing swimm lessons, so its good to see her and Ka May. Preetiest little girl! It was so good to see Kelly, sure do love ya girl.

Easter Bunny came to Town

2009-04-15T21:44:00.000-07:00

So we spent easter Sunday with my side, and we have a real easter bunny, her name is Grandma Shelia. Ever since I can remember she has done this tradition of finding eggs some have money, some are real. Then after that we get to find easter baskets, and o how great they are. Grandma is still holding strong with the tradition with her great grandchildren even. I am so thankful for this lady, I dont think she knows all that she does for people she just does it. That is such an example to me of a christ like attribute, and I know she doesnt think so. But if anybody knows her she will do anything for family or anybody else. Thanks Grams for all you do for our family, I LOVE YOU! We had fun on Sunday ate good food, of course, and great dessert (thanks to Sha). What a great holiday as we remember Christ and what he did for us. The atonement has been such a blessing for me personally. I am grateful for the life that He lived on this earth, for what he went thru for me. I truely love the gospel, and am so grateful for my husband helping me overcome my trials. Thanks babe I love you.

Of course playing BALL with his Best Friend.

Quinn and Cade finding there Easter Baskets.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

2009-04-14T22:09:00.001-07:00

Great Grandma Petersen passed away on April 3rd 2009. She was 94, in August she would have been 95. It was a sad day, but the last month she had been suffering pretty bad with a broken hip. She passed away at Aunt Mary's rest home in Snowflake. Her Funeral was in Pinedale and that is were she was laid to rest, next to Grandpa Pete. I will miss her she always made me laugh, cause at her age I was always trying to trick her with questions like, no grandma Im Jessica or crazy things like I have 8 children. She would just laugh and say Tara I know how many kids you have, she would remember by the stockings she has made or by the baby blankets she made for me. I will miss her loving and gentle touch, her sweet smell, and how she would always look like she was going dancing, she took good care of herself. I admired her for how much she loved the gospel, and the time she put into geneology, she was a great example. Grandma would always remind me that Grandpa Pete and DL (thats Ben's Grandpa) had something to do with us getting married. I think that she was right. After the funeral Ben and I took Jess and Jace out to the Ranch. Stir up some old memories, and it has almost been 9 years since the fire took the main part of it. It was snowing that day lightly, but I thought how amazing this flower was, it was in the flower area were my grandma had tons of greenier and flowers.

The tire swing down from the ranch were we would swing for hours that is one thing that the fire didnt get.

This is what is left of the ranch house, nothing. It was a 2 story house burnt to the ground, it is so sad to go back there.

The Gateway to the house.

The road between the cabin to the ranch house, trees hang over the road, its beautiful! The fire was a very sad time for our family. Those that grew up at the ranch, spent summers there, visited, and played. It will never be like how it was, but I am thankful for the memories that I got from this very special place, it is very dear to my heart.

WHAT NOT TO DO

2009-04-14T21:54:00.000-07:00

I figured I should let everyone know that I am doing great, and for people that dont know, I had emergency surgery last Wednesday, ya crazy! I had an IUD put in, (thats birth control). I had one before and thought I would do it again. Well this time it penetrated thru my Uterus and was floating around in my abdomen. I was in so much pain, and I was very aggressive to the doctors that they finally agreed to have a look around inside, low and be hold it wasnt were it should be and then they still couldn't find it. So I had to get a cat scan and they found it over on my right side what an experience this all was, let me tell ya. So they went in laporscopicallllll or however you spell it in thru your bellybutton and found it down by my intestines, and its out!! After feeling like I got ran over twice, (cause they pump you up with gas), and swollen looking belly, I am glad its over, I can say I am going old school for birth control from now on! So I am doing swell and thanks for all the prays and your calls.

2009-04-09T18:21:00.000-07:00

Quinn hadn't taken a nap and at 7 at night this is what I get, cheetos and sippie spilled on the floor. One passed out little kid. I have been so blessed with such a spirited little boy. He has such a personality. I love how his eyes light up when he sees PaPa Roy, how he will only go or talk to him. How he loves to sit in his room in the corner and look thru books. I love to have OUR Time together. I love how he loves to wrestle his dad, and wants to play golf or throw the ball at him or his little brother. He lights up my day in the morning when he yells Ma Ma to get him out of his crib. Quinn makes me so happy and blesses our life so much, Mommie and Daddie love you so much sweetheart!

Hanging out with his best friend.

Anytime I am baking he has to be in the middle helping me.

We are so excited for the summer, fruit,fruit, fruit.

So we started this potty training thing, you can tell his reaction by it.

I Love my mother in law she has helped me so much, ontop of being the martron at the Temple, she is amazing to me. Whenever I would start to go crazy with Quinn, I would just put this headband on him I would start laughing and then he would, and I would forget why I was so mad at him. I love this kid so much he his seriously the highlight of my life.

RUDGER JONATHAN!! We finally got a name. So Rudger is my Grandma Hall's Dad's Name. His Name is Willard Rudger Hatch, Most of you know that the middle name is Ben's Best Buddy Jonathan Crandell. Who is in Iraq and coming home next month. Yeeepie! So we finally have a boy with a name, and we love it.

This was the first time Quinn met his baby brother. I think he is still thinking that he is just visiting.

?????? Jonathan Tenney has finally came!! He came Thursday night at 10:26 P.M. Weighing in at 8 lbs and 13 oz, 20 inches long. The crazy thing is actually came out with a head of hair and it is black black. He is just a chunk to me, and so far he is healthy and strong. I tried for a few hours to not get an epideral, but once I threw up, memories came flooding back from Quinns birth, and I got one right away. It was wonderful, it went fast and easy. It is such a miracle and such a wonderful blessing to bring a life into this world. We have 2 names for the first part of his name, but we just dont know yet. I have some picture of our new buddle of joy.

My beautiful cousin Candise came by and made my day. I love that girl!

Grandpa Lewis and Grandma Mary came also. She brought me sugar cookies, they were gone really fast. This was the 41st grandbaby, now ya understand why we had such a hard time picking out a name.

Great Grandma Shelia, she brought me a candy bouquet.

Waiting,waiting,and waiting! So this is what we have been doing lately, alot of ninetodo, and hanging out. Quinn loves to watch us play, and he is our cheering dude. Ben got me the old school ninetodo for my birthday a couple of years ago, I love it, so its been worth it. I have played alot lately, it helps pass the time.

I had to take a picture of this, Ben gets way more into it, but Quinn makes me laugh so much.

On Last Thursday at Dr. Olsen office where Ben works at, the girls that he works with threw him a BABY SHOWER! It was so neat, and it was a surprise so he thought it was so neat. They all gave him great gifts. This is Bens room and Quinn getting ready for his cleaning, in a couple of years.
Here is the room that they surprised him in. They even put a sign up and had great food!

We have been so busy, these last several months. I have 4 more weeks left and I am counting down the days. We are so excited that were are having another boy, and we still dont have a full name picked out. The holidays were a blast and we are excited for the new year. Here are a few pictures of Quinn. He is starting to smile really crazy.
We have to say Be chezzie and this is what we get.

His New Sippie Buddy, Cade.

His First Snowman! He hasnt liked the snow very much, but since Grandma Shelia hooked him up with some snow boots he is starting to like it more.

Firewood Trip

2008-10-06T11:37:00.000-07:00

We needed to go get some firewood for our house, and Ben said that we could tag along. Quinn wasnt to excited about the chainsaw, so he deceided to take the Ranger for a ride. Which he loves to go for rides on that thing. Once all the wood was cut, he wanted to be like his dad, so we had to give him some pieces to throw in.

We got the wood right behind the ranch. Dad and him after its all done.
I am pretty much excited about this, I canned these all by myself and not one of them shattered.
We finally got our first egg, we
have 4 of them now. But we still have 9 hens and they are taking there sweet time. This is when my mother watched him, while we were in Utah. I am going to have to get his own size of boots.

After Church I had to turn on the water for the grass, and turned around and he was running thru the sprinkle. I just let him have fun, he got really drenched.

I had to take off his clothes after he got all wet.

"Mom what is that?!"
Our chickens got out and he is offically our chicken hearder.

To celebrate Ben's graduation from NAU Dental Hygiene, we went on a 7 day cruise to the Caribbean. We went to Haiti, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozmuel. This was the first time we had left Quinn for more that a day. (thank you Grandma Tenney for babysitting). Eventhough we missed our little guy, we had a BLAST!!

(We found this snake in our front yard)
(This beehive was under our back porch)

Frogs Snakes, bees,and lizards, oh and chickens. These are a few of my favorite things!!
WE are officially out at the ranch in our new home. Well its not new, new, but we love everything about it. I dont think that I will ever get used to bugs and slimmy things, but it has been so much fun. When we moved in we had to move the bees out and let me tell you there were bees, they made home in our laundry room. The snakes just like the dark holes everywhere. We got a crazy idea, and thought we should bring chickens out to the ranch. We're still waiting for them to lay some eggs! Ben is my Farmer John, we sure have the life. We Love being back home, I sometimes miss Flagstaff more than he does. I loved our ward!
Other Good News!! I am pregnant and due in Feb, yea my birthday month. We're so excited and feel so blessed to have another one on the way. Quinn just turned one and I call him my crazy boy, he is more like me, but looks like Ben.
