Grandma's inheritance vacation site

Okay Guys, the money is in and we're going on vacation. I am making plans and then you guys can give me other ideas if you don't like it. I'm proposing that the adults go to Mexico the week that Mark finishes his semester, around Dec. 12th. The hurricane season is over and the rates are still cheap. We would stay at the Palace hotels (all 7 of them ) rent 3 cars and everything is included, food, etc. We will only go when everyone can go for the whole week. We will help you guys with kids figure out babysitters. Let me know if this sounds good or if you have a better idea. We need to start making reservations. Grandma and Grandpa would love it. Love Mom.

AIDENS BIRTHDAY

For Aidens birthday we thought we had a great idea!!  We could rent a blowup toy cheaper than taking a bunch of kids to Kangeroo Zoo..... What transpired was pure chaos!!!   Like 50 kids, two blow up toys, a snow cone maker, cotton candy maker, popcorn machine and etc......  Aiden was kinda shell shocked!!  all the other kids had fun...I think.. and my house has yet to recover!!  Oh well...he is my baby... NO MORE!!

PS.   He got this bat/ball machine for his birthday!!  Notice the uniform...underwear, backwards and inside out, and NOTHING MORE!!  Yeah buddy.....Sunday afternoon at the Rawle house!!

Stewart Falls

So we took the family to Stewart Falls on a hike (very small hike).  Of course, the boys loved it...shooting slingshots, etc...  Alexa wanted nothing to do w/it including her picture...(typical teenager)..  Todd was on the phone!!!!!  What is wrong with this pic.!!   MY FAMILY!!

NEW B-DAY DINNER PLANS!!!

okay, so i'm really sorry, but the La-Cai is closed for renovations until September. i definitely should have called first. anyhoo, we've decided to have the birthday dinner at the Olive Garden in Sugar House at the same time, 6:30pm. i hope everyone reads this before then, so leave a comment if you can still come. thanks and sorry again, al

Cassie's New Dew.  Sportin' it on Squaw Peak.   

T's Birthday Dinner

For those of you who would like to support T-bone on his birthday, we are going to have the normal b-day dinner at La-Cai in Salt Lake. the address is 961 s state st. it is just an open invite for those who can make it. It will be on Sunday and we'll be eating at 6:30pm, so come if you can. al

Here's t  bustin' it at rose.  

Farmington Pool

Okay, so we have lived in farmington for over 5 years now and just in the last two weeks have discovered the city pool. it is wonderful and the girls love it. we go almost every day now, plus there are a ton of mothers there so i have plenty of adult social time during the day. al

Aiden's Birthday Party

Everyone is welcome and invited!!  Come for some free food and if you are little some birthday fun!!  

Love Mern

PS.. I didnt quite get it downloaded right, so double click on the invitation to read it better...

PPS...I need to fix the invite, but I am not going to repost it...The party is at our house!!!   DUH

The Police

So we hurried home from the lake because we had concert tickets to the Police. (remember Dad's old 80's band)....We took Dad and Mark.  It was pretty funny seeing Dad with his earplugs!!  Once again the band looked OLD!! (cuz...duh  we are old)--but tell you what--for an old guy Sting looked HOT!!  He is in very good shape for a 60 year old.  Mark knew the words to every song!!  It was fun.  We are off to John Meyer and Colbie Caillet tonight..   Whew...these concerts are getting taxing!!

Yuba Lake

Over the weekend we took the kids and the boat to Yuba Lake.  We hauled everything in, set up tents, made dogs and smoors, camped, boated, and then hauled everything out.  LOTS OF HARD WORK!!  My choice of a vacation would be the Marriott somewhere, but the kids had fun.  Jackson cliff jumped, Lex wake boarded, and Colin and Aiden played in the mud!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHEA BABE!!!!!

okay, so i don't have the best selection of Shea pics, but i figured these would do. Shea, we love you!! you are always there to help t and i out with our random projects. you've never let us down and for that we are extremely grateful. we hope you have a great day, make sure to make the most out of it! love, t-al-tessa-claire

cute Bearden-Crofts

So when Sissy and Dave graced the State of Utah....we spent an afternoon taking pics of their cute kids.  These are my personal fav's. Sissy will probably never post them so I thought I would share.

haha

Guy with a tie

I'm not sure you should trust the guy at the end of this video.

Marnie and I went to a concert (Cheap Trick, Heart, and Journey) We love the 80's. We leave the kids alone for a few hours and look what they do.

Happy Birthday Marnie

The Breast is thirty

Our little tiny puck ass brother is finally turning 28 I think.  He needs to get this marriage thing going.  We sure do love our bother and he is very fun to tease.  We love you breast and are very proud of you.  Have a great birthday and do something scary!!

Love Marn

STADIUM OF FIRE.....BOOOM!!

We went to the Stadium of Fire and it was Miley Cyrus.  Alexia and Jack had seats on the floor 12th row, so they were off having fun.  The little kids (mostly Marley) loved the show. 

 Davey Wavy Gravy loved it the MOST!!  thats why I had to have two pics. of his unabashed joy at the stadium of fire.!!

hair control!!!

i have finally figured out a way to get tessa and claire's hair out of their eyes without them being able to mess it up. it looks a bit funny, but it works and i am so stoked!!!
