Halloween 2008

2008-11-11T22:23:00.005-07:00

I'm so proud of Rob. I was in Utah helping my mom and gone for the first Halloween ever. Rob didn't skip a beat. He went out and purchased the pumpkins and they all carved pumpkins together. Trevor was a party pooper and fell asleep. His loss! And of course Tiffany was very missed by everyone!

Chelsea finally got her license. Here she goes off on her first day of driving. She's going to school - how exciting! She even got it on Grandma & Grandpa Turner's anniversary - a double celebration! This is the 1993 Camry we bought for her to drive. She hates the fact that we now have some leverage. Oh! And check out the 3 other new blogs I just added below!

Happy Birthday Jared!

Chelsea needed a few more hours before she could get her driver's license so we went for a ride to Lookout Mountain. It overlooks Golden and the big building in the picture is the Coors Manufacturing Plant. We had a lot of fun and Chelsea keeps getting more and more beautiful!

Grandma & Grandpa Turner come for a visit

2008-07-25T23:00:00.004-06:00

We had a wonderful time with Grandpa & Grandma Turner. They loved swimming. We geared them up with floatation devices to replace their walking sticks and they did great. Grandpa's repeated comment was "This is country living!" And what do you know, their big sunglasses are even in style these days!?!?

July 3rd Celebration!

2008-07-11T21:53:00.004-06:00

Rob & I took Sjanna & Chelsea to Chatfield Lake. It was a beautiful day and we spent 5 hours there. The girls loved the new tube.

Fathers Day at Jared & Sjanna's

Happy Father's Day Rob!

2008-06-16T21:45:00.004-06:00

Jared and Sjanna invited us over to their home for Father's Day dinner. Jared is great on the grill and made us some wonderful pork tenderloin complimented with applesauce. We had grilled asparagus, grilled pineapple and a fruit salad. We finished off dinner with Rob's request of Cherry Cheesecake. Everything was very yummy!

Sjanna's dad gave them her their old MoPed to sell at this weekends garage sale. Jared and Trevor have decided they wanted to keep it. They had fun taking turns riding it through their neighborhood. Who knows with gas prices, this may be a necessary type of transportation soon. The boys were like little kids again.

Dakota is the closest I have gotten to a grandchild in 4 years. Jared & Sjanna love their dog. She is a good girl but I can't dress her up and hold her too easily. Dakota loves Chelsea and vise versa! We missed you Tiffany!!

Thanks Jared & Sjanna!!

We had visitors!

2008-06-08T17:34:00.004-06:00

My niece Marissa, her husband Ryan and their adorable twin babies stopped in on their way to a job interview in Kansas. On their way back they stayed with us for a couple of days. We hung out at the pool and the babies loved splashing in the water. We also battled on Wii Mario Kart where I came in on a pretty consistent 12th place. We all got a bit sick of Chelsea slaughtering us. Rissa and Ryan showed us their skills on Wii Fit by swinging their hips with the hula hoop and making awesome ski jumps. Ryan triumphed over Trevor's record. We were determined to help Sjanna gain experience in the baby holding department and she was excellent! Sjanna was left with Logan while we were in the pool and there was no one to hand here off to. When Jared came home she gave her to him since she had to leave for work. Jared sat down with Logan and held her for a while. After Jared stood back up, Rissa asked what was all over his pants. Then she noticed Logan's wet sleeper and started laughing. Logan had peed all over Jared's lap. He was a good sport. We were sad to have them leave this morning but are excited with the prospect of future visits since they accepted the job and will be moving to Kansas soon.

Logan! That is not lady like!!

Tiffany came home for Memorial Day

2008-05-30T23:10:00.002-06:00

Tiffany came home for the holiday weekend. I got these pictures of her in the backyard while she was here. I tried to get Chelsea's pictures but she was taking a nap. Tiffany is such a socialite! We barely saw her! She loves being home and we've had to make her go back to school. She's learning good lifes lessons! Sorry Tiffany - but you have to grow up! But we love you!!

Mother's Day

2008-05-14T17:33:00.003-06:00

Jared & Sjanna invited me to their home for Mother's Day. He is a great cook on the grill. Trevor and Chelsea went over early to help them with dinner. We had steak, red potatoes, asparagus and fruit salad. It was all very yummy!! I took my camera with me so that I could take pictures of them all cooking dinner but then I forgot to take the pictures! Old age has definitely settled in. We had a great time. We missed Tiffany since she's at BYU-Idaho but I had a nice phone conversation with her that day. Rob treated me like a Queen but of course he treats me like that everyday!
Thanks for a great day Family!

Chelsea had to invite one friend for each year. Good thing she had a lot of friends! We went to pizza at the Garlic Knot Friday night, had a sleepover and then took the girls on an "Amazing Race" on Saturday morning. It was a lot of fun!

Let's take a vote! Do you like Tiffany as a blonde or a brunette????

Trevor's Senior Recital

2008-03-27T23:06:00.002-06:00

Trevor performed his Senior Recital on March 20th. He was amazing. He told us the history of each piece before performing it. He had a lot of support from friends and family. Trevor's shown here with his grandparents and good friend Brandon. Also his sister Tiffany and his wonderful Music Professor Steven Allen. It was a great night. He graduates April 11th from BYU-Idaho.

Christmas 2007

2008-03-20T20:50:00.000-06:00

As a family, we decided to forgo gifts and take a family vacation instead. We went to Cancun, Mexico. We were there for Christmas Day. It was wierd at first to wake up that morning and not open gifts, however we got over it quickly as we went out to the beach. We all say that this is a do-over. I loved the fact that it illiminated the stress of shopping and decorating. We loved spending the time together.

Jared looking a bit better

2007-08-14T14:27:00.000-06:00

Jared was stopped at a stop light. A truck going 60 mph slammed into the back of his truck. Driver reported to have had a seizure. It shoved Jared forward 2 car lengths. A total of 6 cars were involved. Jared was taken by ambulance the to hospital. He was released to go home that night.

Insurance red tape and 2 weeks later & he finally was able to see a specialist. He prescribed an MRI but more red tape to make that appointment. He still has no idea what exactly is wrong with his shoulder. They assume some tendon damage.

Another Runyon Graduate!

2007-07-24T18:08:00.000-06:00

The most recent grand event in our family is Tiffany graduated. As is typical of seniors she was very done with high school back in March when I took her to see BYU Idaho's campus. It took some pretty creative encouragement (force) to keep her forging forward but she made it. She was accepted for Fall/Summer semesters. She starts this fall, comes home for winter then goes back in the beginning of summer and will stay throughout fall semester. This is a new schedule for BYU-I. They are trying to accomodate as many students as possible. She is VERY excited to finally have some 'independence' and is majoring in Health & Exercise Science. Wow! Our house is going to be quiet this fall!! Poor Chelsea is stuck home with the old folks but I have a feeling some things will work to her advantage. She is very sad to not have her siblings around though! Good thing Jared & Sjanna are close by!
