Buttercup -Thanksgiving Weekend Trip

 Buttercup Sand Dunes 

Hey 👋 y’all 

We had a great trip to the Sand Dunes, first time for the season.  We only knew the captains this time. But it’s a lot of their family and friends family. They were so sweet, and inclusive. You’ll see, pictures of Sariya making cookies, coloring. It was hard to kind of get her to go out of her comfort zone, she’s a sweetheart at making friends.

Bayden - you will usually see him lingering in the background of pictures, kind of like Keny. He loves playing in the sand, poop 💩 jokes, hanging out in the trailer and never changing a single outfit. That boy has life made! 

Aurora Was a little nervous at first, but she knows Dane. So in a little ranger and was quaddinf a bunch , even rode in a sand rail and always game for an adventure! 

Kalaya kept providing riding opportunities for the kids, she was game to go, has a great trailer playlist and got dirty hands from her grips… she is a fun one! 

Levi is becoming a great ‘too cool 😎’ for school poopy 💩 Teenager. You will see him dodging all the pictures to ensure that he gets quality time wiht friends- he is a great dirt biker and I am so grateful that he keeps an eye on me when I go out for “Adventures wiht Sariya” to come to my rescue > almost 😅 rolled only once. 

Reed always is upfront with people and tries to utilize these ridinign opportunities, he is doing the occasional Row machine (that he found on OfferUp) to prepare for fun adventures like this.  I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ what is good to say about dirt biking … but He is good at throwing his bike around > I guess! He is such a good dad and thinks of all the things before we head out. He is true to the “Work Hard, Play Hard” motto! I even had a quad out there for this trip, just in case ! So I got a couple rides, but after a bit Sariya wasn’t having it :) 

Dopps - Foot Zone refresh

 I tell you what - the ram van is a beast. Cruises up and back from Monroe Utah, like it was nothing. 

Maybe I am getting good training from Mr. Air Transport or 🤷‍♀️Maybe I am just spoiled by ALL MY reliable rides 

I had a refresher foot zone course in Monroe this last weekend, that Juju is in so I figured hey let’s get our maps up to date . 

So since I am a 💩  and didn’t take any pictures of me and my sisters 👯‍♀️ in class or whatever … here are pictures of the kids! 

They had their fill of Roblox, games, late nights, dollar general store, Gatorade, little ceaser pizza 🍕, not showering, High school play and having aunt Maria make majority of all the meals > which made the trip soooo enjoyable !! 

I love my sister Maria, I could talk to her for days ! Also, my sis Julia is the most tender hearted persons I know. 

I love them both 

2021 Family Pictures

 Oh how I Love family pictures. I look forward to the annual photo session, where I look at it as an opportunity to celebrate. It isn’t as stressful as it used to be, thank goodness.  So I am looking at it as a town of celebration 

Another year older, another year stronger. 

Geez > It’s crazy how big these kids are Getting and their personalities showing.

 Grateful

Levi hair is pretty long, cause that is the style lately. Reed is long too because of Halloween. Tried to be easy going, just incorporate jeans 👖, so went yo target to get a couple things this year. Teresa did it again this year and I am grateful for her willingness- she is good about working wiht other photographers especially on busy nights. 

Here is an example of our Christmas card this year, the back has a funny quote about - the good thing about family is you smile for pictures every year or something like that 😂

 

Youth Conference - Old Superior High School

 Levi and Kalaya went to Youth Conference at the Superior High School for the last time, before the private owners sell it. 

Levi was being a big fat poop 💩 and dragged his heels, it was annoying. 😅🤪But i kept telling him that it was where he needed to b. 

Here is some pics of them and a summary of what they learned. 

Levi Learned:

If you put in time, and you keep going, eventually  things will sky rocket 

If you put your time in Jesus, you will have lots of Jesus blessings in the end. Stocks 

So we are the stupid chicken, Jesus was once us, he try’s to help and guide us. But when we go on the wrong, he stays with us. 

(Danced with Zero, but they asked 3 people to dance wiht donivan) 

Breakfast 🍳 was good 

Kalaya Learned: 

God loves Kalaya 

If you turn to Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father, you will feel Gods love. 

Put your Trust & Faith in them. 

There are gonna be ups and downs in life and things will always get better. 

(Danced with 5 people) 

Pinedale - Pumpkin 🎃 Farm

We made a last minute trip up to Pinedale, which is making it a little bitter sweet. 

We got a little crazy a couple weeks before and decided to put an offer into a home around there. 

We are so grateful for all the memories that Reed’s parents have helped us create, by having a fun home around there. 

The Jarman roots are right up there, in that little town. Some of his siblings even bought 2nd homes up around there.  But being the practical person I am, it hasn’t made sense for a while. Since nana and papa Jarman (Chris/Jill) have a wonderful big place for us to enjoy. 

But after a few prompting’s, I felt that our family is getting bigger/older and our time will soon b approaching. 

So we went up to visit one last time and enjoy the tradition that Dr Mik (Reeds brother) & Jocie do. 

Willis Farm pumpkin 🎃 patch and the Haunted Corn Maze. Kalaya got the goodness freaked out of her multiple times, while most of the other kids were strong. 

We even were able to go shooting wiht Papa a couple days. He is a professional bullet loader these days wiht a loader drilled to the dining table. 

Levi and Aurora are good shots ! I even can throw a couple 😋😂

I tell you what, these boys are so accommodating for my messed up foot 🦶:)  comfy chair and all
