Babies, Baptism, wedding and fun!

This past week we were in Boise to enjoy Stephen and Celeste's wedding. Stephen is Brent's youngest brother. We had such a great time! Those Barclay weddings are a blast! It was so fun to see everyone! We love you all and had so much fun seeing everyone. We had every Bell there and had a slammin' dance!


Some handsome boys at the wedding! How fun to have a ton of cousins!


Look at all the nieces and nephews. Cute Stephen and Celeste!


Our new aunt Celeste with the girls!


Here's our Stephen all married on us!


Part of the clan at the wedding! I sure wish my family liked getting there picture taken better. We need a family picture taken so bad. I think I'll shoot for the fall!


The Brent Barclay children had to have a talking too. They were not being very nice to each other! We had to have a sit down in the R.S. room!


Cassi caught the bouquet! She was pretty happy about that!


Boise water area downtown! Cassi, Ariel and Maddy were all brave enough to sit in the burr freezing water!


We had a picnic at the park and there were a ton of geese. Oh how they love the chips! Sicily was in heaven!


Jackson playing marbles with the guys!




So about two and a half months ago a stray kitty had babies under our pine tree outside. She had five all together but one was born dead and the gray one you see a dog or tom cat got.  They were sure fun to have. They were under the tree for a while then she moved them into the garage and would try to move them in the house.



This is Oreo. A little boy. He was the oldest of the bunch! He was the kids favorite. Jill's mom has him. She lives kiddy corner to me. 


The kids named him jumper because he was all over the place! All white boy!


Here is Mini the only girl of the bunch! She is so pretty! She is Melissa's cat. My neighbor across the street took her!


If the kids would leave the garage door open the momma kitty would try to bring the kitty's into the house. I'd let her keep them in for about 10 mins and then would take them out to the garage. I didn't want my house smelling like a barn!


Sicily at Sydney's track meet! Sydney and Jess did great!


Mom should of taken more pictures! Here's Ethan just before he got baptized!


OH what fun it is to go to Jumpin' Jacks!



Alec and his babe magnet car! We need to get a picture when he's 16!

Saying Goodbye to some of our Favorite people!

                                                    

 I have never had my own room ever and hope to never have my own room. For 17 years I shared my room with my sister Marcie. We are 12 and a half months apart and have share a room our whole growing up years. She is moving to Seattle today and I will miss her so much. She is one of my best friend in the whole world. They keep teasing us. They lived in California for many years when she was first married then moved to Utah and we talked them into moving to Spanish Fork for many year then they took off on us to move to Georgia and then moved back to Utah for the past 16 months. We have so much fun together. They will be very missed by all of us. Lucky for me I have lots of sisters. I am so thankful for sisters and I love each of mine so much. This is all of us except for Honey who lives in Denver. Love you too.         John I love you too!(my only Bro.)
 Our weekends aren't going to be the same without you guys!
Sydney and Morgan!
Ethan left before we could get a picture of him and Emree!
Jace, Kennedy and Cassi!
Danny and Stephen are both military men and are both going to be deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Last weekend we were able to go to Boise to have the       whole Barclay family together. Danny  the one in the red is being deployed end of April beginning of May.  Krista and the kids will be in Texas. We will be praying for you guys!

Stephen and Celest are engaged and are getting married on June the 6th the day after Brent and I were married. He will be deployed soon after that. We sure love you all and will be praying for you guys! 
The whole Barclay clan together! We are separated into families! Taunya and Phil, Danny and Krista, Us, Heather and Dion,  Amy and Chad and Celest and Sephen!
Go Charles Angles!!! Brent's sisters Amy, Taunya and Heather!
 All the Girls! 
All the Boys!

Going too fast!

We thought instead of a fun family trip in Feb. we'd fix Cassi's SUPER JACKED teeth. Her poor mouth. She has across bite, that is what pic. no 2 is fixing. She also has to go to the oral surgeon to expose and bond one of her eye teeth that isn't coming down and is across two of her front teeth. Plus has to get one pulled and another part of her gums opened up so a tooth on the bottom will hopefully come up on it's own. Brent should of been a dentist or ortho. Jess is next and then Sydney. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Ethan and Sicily will be okay.



Of course we can't go too long without a new body wound for Jordan. He was being pulled in a little red wagon by a four wheeler going about 30 miles when he was tossed like a rag doll  because the handle of the wagon caught the ground when they went through a mud puddle. Stupid thing no. 1,000,000  that the child does. The footage for this one is pretty scary, for his mom at least. I am glad he was wearing a helmet and goggles along with his cape for the event. It's healing very well. Kids don't do this a home!!!!!!



Sydney was in the 101 Dalmatian play in feb. with Hailee Smith. They did a great job. Sydney was Lucky in the play. It's through the city. I love Spanish Fork for all the activities they provide.

Sydney's the one in the middle.




A couple of weeks ago when it rained really hard for a couple of days our basement got water in it. It was a sunday and Jordan was going to play the 360 and went to close the curtains and felt the carpet was wet.  One of the black tubes that carry the water away from the down spout was off and water was running between the foundation to the window well and in through a crack. It was smack dab in the middle of the room. We called Will, Jason and Blake over to see what we could do and they fixed us right up. Will and Jason moved all the furniture out of the room and pulled the carpet back and through out the section of wet pad. Jason cut open the wall and helped us fix the crack while Blake and Brent went to the rental yard to get something to put on the down spout to keep the water away. So thankful for all there help. My mom came out too with her carpet cleaner so I could suck the water from the carpet.  We rented a carpet stretcher and put the carpet back good as new when it wall all dried out. She's the bomb! Thanks mom for doing the carpet. Nothing like parents who can do it all. All in all it worked out pretty good. I was able to repaint the baseboards and repaint the family room which I had been wanting to do for a while. We were only out of sorts for 4 days before we got it all back together. Thanks to all who helped.







Good morning all! This kitty has been at or outside our house since early Dec. She is beautiful. So sweet. Yes I do feed her but she stays outside. I don't know if someone just dropped her off down here. She calls our pine tree outside home. If I didn't have kitty's years ago pee on my carpet I'd let her stay inside but I just don't want to risk it. Sicily calls her Fluffy. If anyone wants a great cat with kids just call me. 


 We went to Boise for about five days after Christmas. With all the storms we were lucky to get through when we did. The Idaho boarder was closed for a couple of days. The drive down was pretty intense. Once again we did a lot of video and hardly any photo's. My boyfriend and his momma. She's a T.C.A at the airport. She looks pretty cool in her uniform! We had so much fun. Amy and Chad were down at the same time. Stephen got engaged. There date is June 6th. She is a very sweet girl. It was great to see Taunya and her crew and Heather and her crew. We missed Danny and Krista and there kids. We had a ton of fun guys.  



So excited, this is my $65.00 9ft Christmas tree. I wanted one that went near the top of the ceiling. We only had our dinky 6ft one up here. Didn't look to great!  You know me I love a good deal. I saved a bundle! Now the 6ft tree can resume it's place downstairs for the kids to decorate. I can't wait for next year. I got so many after Christmas deals!

We finally bought a video camera. Poor Jordan only has minimal video footage of his life. We have some catching up to do. Anyways we did a ton of video and not very many photos. 

Merry Christmas to all! We went before Christmas to the condo to see the lights at temple square. Burrr  freezing!!!  It was a very fast look at the lights.  The couple of days together was really nice to have.  The kids(younger ones) loved riding trax to the gateway. We'll have to do the heber creeper next.
