Colby's 11th Birthday!!

Colby is such a great, wonderful, handsome, smart, kind hearted, did I mention how handsome he is becoming... Anyway he is such a good kid. Well, Feb 9th he turned
11. He is growing up so fast. Its crazy how time fly's. We just had a family dinner and party for his birthday he also went skiing with his mom and step dad. Pretty low key but he had a good day!! He wanted a Soccer ball from Rylee and Hadlee and a down comforter from dad and me. He's a kid that know's what he wants.


He has been involved in a Competitive Soccer/Futsal team this year and has really loved it. He has gotten so good. His Futsal Team took 1st and he was very excited about that win!

He also played Jr Jazz and only lost his temper a few times.

He had the 5th grade Science Fair project this year and him and his step dad created a Soda Can Solar Furnace. He won 1st place in his class and went on to District. He won there and went on to Region at BYU. There he won second place and got nominated to go on to more fairs. I don't know how far we will take it but we were sure proud of him for all the hard work he put into this project!


He is a huge Goof Ball and loves to make his sisters laugh!



He is so smart and we are proud of the young man he is becoming. Watch out girls he's got brains and good looks!!! We love you Colby and are so happy you are a part of our family. You are a wonderful big brother to your two younger sisters. They love you so much and so do we!!

5 Months Old!

Wow how time flys! Hadlee was 5 months old on the 27th. She is such a joy in our lives. We can't imagine our family without this little bundle of joy in it. The kids adore her and love to make her smile and talk. Dad and mom can't get enough of her. Laren is bowned and determined to get her to giggle. She smiles so much and squeals with excitment but she has not giggled yet. She is not tickleish, when you try she acts like it is either nothing or the most uncomfortable thing ever but she will not laugh. She talks a lot, just this week rolled over and is doing it more and more everyday. She has slept through the night for about 3 months now. Is a horrible napper but that's okay if she sleeps all night. She loves her toy monkey and to chew on everything. She gives good kisses and she sucks her thumb! She is such a sweetheart and we love every minute of her! I just wish time would slow down a little bit!

Rylee's Special Day!

I am little behind on the updates. January again was a busy month. Rylee had a very special day on January 2nd, she was Baptised. She has been so excited all year about this big day. We are so proud of her and the decisions she has made in her life to help make her the wonderful, smart, beautiful, funny little lady she is becoming. She asked her Papa to Baptise her and Laren to Confirm her. Nana had taken her to pick out her dress and believe me she is a girl that know's what she wants. She picked out a pretty white dress. She asked if she could wear it for her Wedding dress too? I can't imagine how fast that day is going to come! She felt so special in it and loves wearing it.
What a great day! We had so many family and friends come and support her and that really meant a lot to her and us. She is growing up so fast and we love watching her grow and see her love for life everyday. She is such an example to her friends and family and we are so proud of her and love her very much!

Christmas 2009!

Wow what a blurr December was. I can't believe its over. Both Rylee and colby were gone for Christmas. Colby went with his Mom and Kip to Missouri and Rylee went with her Dad and Adrian to Texas. They both had a great time. Colby said he just hung out and talked with family and Rylee said her favorite thing was when they went out to the barn and got to spray paint boxes. She is starting to mold her Tagging Talent, we hope to move up to walls and train car's one day!!! Anyway we were so glad to have them back home. On Christmas Eve Laren and Hadlee and I ran up to Idaho Falls for the Annual Boyce Family Swedish Bread Party at Laren's Brother's house. Cookie goes all out and makes it so special. A Fancy dinner with great food, a talent program, that everyone has to participate in and then a Visit from Santa! It is so fun , Hadlee had her first visit with Santa, she tried to pull his Beard off, but didn't mind him at all! Laren led the family in a song and dance and as always got everyone laughing at his expense! He really should be a lounge singer!

When the Kids did get back home, we had to go to Colby's championship Futsal game before we could go home and open presents. They were so excited, and could hardly wait. They each were happy when Santa remembered to leave presents at our house as well, He left an Airsoft gun for colby (watch out neighborhood cats) and a DSI for Rylee! He also left Band Hero for the family! The kids have made there own group called the Monstars, They Rock!!! Laren was happy with his Steelers hat and clothes and I was happy with my perfume and clothes that the kids picked out. They did a great job I didn't have to take anything back! Hadlee will be much more into it next year. We also spent some time with my family, eating and sledding and playing games! Always a good time with family.




Colby's Futsal Team also won the Championship this season! He has gotten so good and we love to see his passion and dedication to it. We are so proud of you Colby!

Oh the HOLIDAYS are JOYFUL!

So much to catch up on, Thanksgiving, Rylee's 8th Birthday, Christmas.....Wow alot has been going on. So first off my sister had her handsome little boy on Nov 1st! I was lucky enough to be involved since my mom was on her way back from St. George and didn't make it in time. Thanks Ali and Rob for letting me share that experience with you! He is a cutie pie and we love him. Hadlee loves her cousin, it will be so fun to have them so close!


Hadlee is growing up so fast! Colby and Rylee are such great big brother and sister. They help so much and love to make Hadlee smile and talk! OOOH her cheeks are edible!!


Thanksgiving was down in St George this year! Thanks Skye and Cody for being such gracious Hosts. It was good to play with all our family down there. Also it was such nice weather the kids went hiking and to the park, swim(inside) and were able to play together all week! It was great, great food, great family and great memories. The Vegas Bunn's were able to come and visit too. Always a good time when they are around! We wish it was more often.





My other baby turned 8!!! Wow how time fly's. I remeber when she was blessed thinking how far away her baptism was and wondering what was she going to be like then. Well I can proudly say Rylee is a wonderful, giving, caring, happy, smart, beautiful little girl that loves her Heavenly Father and is so excited to get Baptised that is all she has talked about for months. She was star of the week in school and got to share all about her selft. She had a late night Pajama Party with her friends that night. She had 6 girls over and they had pizza, played, had a pillow fight and watched "Enchanted" the ultimate Girly movie and just had fun! I was so surprised there were no tears or fights, all 7 girls got along and played great! The next day she went shopping with Nana to pick out a baptism dress. She was so excited to be able to pick out what ever she wanted. Then we wrapped it up with good ol' family fun time at Fat Cats, Bowling! Happy Birthday Rylee we love you and are so proud of the wonderful little lady you are!










Here are just more fun pictures of us enjoying time together!!





FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS WE WISH YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
