Father of the Year Event - take 2

2010-06-18T14:43:00.000-07:00

Last night Eli had the opportunity to again speak at the Father of the Year benefiting the American Diabetes Association. This time it was in San Diego. There were over 500 people there and by the end of the night they had raised over $200,000. Go here to see and hear his speech. I am so proud of him and his dedication to helping find the cure.

Eli Speaks at the American Diabetes Association Fundraiser

2010-06-04T13:29:00.000-07:00

Last night June 3, 2010 Eli was asked to speak at the first annual Inland Empire Father of the Year Awards benefiting the American Diabetes Association. It was in Riverside, about 30 minutes from where we live. The night was to honor prominent men in our community who are exemplar fathers. Each father was then given the opportunity to fund raise for the ADA by selling tickets to the gala. Eli and Jeremy were asked to tell their story of how diabetes has affected their lives. Eli memorized a two minute speech that we wrote together about his diabetes and about Camp Wana Kura a diabetes camp he attends each year put on by the ADA. There were more than 200 people at the dinner last night and I am so proud of my 8 year old boy who would get up and speak in front of that many people. He was really nervous but he did an amazing job. We had so many people come up to us afterward and congratulate him on doing so great. I have to also add my congratulations to Jeremy who was on the organizing committee for this event, he put in alot of hours helping put this night together. It was a wonderful night and before the last minute donations were counted up last night they had already raised over $65,000 for the ADA. Eli and Jeremy were asked to speak at the same event but in San Diego on June 13th. This is a much bigger venue as they have been doing this event in San Diego for several years so they are expecting to have 600+ people there and to raise over $250,000. I am so proud of these two and their commitment to help in the cause of stopping diabetes and finding a cure. I video taped Eli's speech but the quality was really terrible so I am just putting a few picture on from the night. The first is of him standing next to a 2011 Jaguar. One of the men being honored last night owns a Jaguar dealership so he had one out on display. I had to keep wiping Jeremy and Eli's drool off the car:).

Someone did get a good video and she said she will put it on utube so when she does I'll post the link so everyone can see how great he did.

Rex 8 months old

2010-06-04T13:17:00.000-07:00

Like always happens, my babies grow up so fast. Rex particularly has just really grown so quickly from a little baby hardly doing anything to a crawling, sitting and eating food baby. He makes the cutest noise that is like a growl. He loves it when Jeremy will growl back at him, the two of them can go on for awhile growling at each other. Here is a short video clip I got of him doing it.

Blueberries and Buddies

2010-05-25T10:59:00.000-07:00

We took a really fun preschool field trip to a blueberry farm today. Each child was given a little bucket and they could go out in the fields and pick until their hearts were content. Eli was at school and my good friend Bridget watched Rex so I could go with just Wyatt and Luke. The blueberry lady told them just to use their thumb and pointer finger to pick the berries so they were ever so careful not to squish any blueberries. They picked for about 20 minutes, climbed on the tractor, and checked out the scarecrow. Dream day for my two little boys. I love days like today when we can just enjoy such simple things like blueberries. If anyone has a good blueberry recipe for me I'd love to hear it. Enjoy some of the pictures from a fun day on the farm.

Many of you know that my mom is very talented when it comes to sewing. For the past few years she has been making and selling aprons and bibs at local craft shows, farmers markets and boutiques. We have been telling her for a while that she needed to get a website up and going so that when her work stared to circulate that people could go online and order from her.

We have been working together for about a week now and I think we put together a fun little blog so she can showcase her work, share a fun unique tutorial that she created, and a place where people can order from her. She has received many compliments on her new site and was even featured on a well known craft blog (go to her site to see who:). The second week in May she will be again featured, this time on my favorite website hip2save.com where she will be doing a spring cleaning give away of 3 aprons to 3 lucky winners. I would love it if one of my friends won so mark your calendar and make sure to go to hip2save to enter to win one of her aprons. Go to kitchen clothesline.com see all of her great work.

Here is a picture of one of my favorites:

Her bibs are so genius, they have elastic around the neck so babies/kids can't pull them off and tie around the tummy so they stay put and protect clothes, I love mine!

Elli's Baptism

2010-04-17T13:37:00.000-07:00

It's taken me way too long but I am finally getting around to posting about Eli's baptism. On March 27 Eli was baptised by his Dad at our stake center in Menifee. We were blessed to have so many of our family and friends with us to celebrate his big day. What an amazing spirit was there, I hope Eli never forgets how good he felt when he received the Holy Ghost. I am so proud of him for the choices he is making and what a good example he is to his brothers and younger cousins.

We had a really fun BBQ at the park near our house afterwards and again we were so blessed to have lots of family and fun.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from that day.

In Loving Memory

2010-04-01T16:36:00.000-07:00

Last Friday morning my sweet Grandpa Meyer died. We found out a few months ago that he had lung cancer and he started chemo for it but then about a month ago he fell and broke his hip. The doctors did not think he was strong enough for the surgery so he was moved to hospice.

My Grandpa was one of the most thoughtful people I have ever met. From the time I can remember he would call all of us kids on our birthdays to wish us a happy birthday, the conversation would last all of about 1 minute but the point was he remembered us on our special day and loved us. As we grew up got married and had kids this did not change in fact he just added our spouses and children onto his list of important phone calls. He would also call us on our anniversaries each year to tell us congratulations on another year.

One other thing I will always cherish about my grandpa was his talent for woodcarving. My kids all have little toys made by him and I have about 10 Santa clauses from around the world that he made for me. He also carved me a nativity that has always been priceless but will be even more special now that he is gone. I feel so blessed that 3 out of my 4 boys have a special treasure box made by their great grandpa. (I think that Rex's treasure box is somewhere in his things and my dad has said he will finish it for him I look forward to completing our set.)

I have so many wonderful memories of him and as I reminisce about all the summers we spent with him bringing us doughnut every morning and where I gained my love of frozen mini candy bars, everything comes down to I know he loved me and that I was important to him. I am thankful for the temple and know that in one year we will be able to do his work for him. What a merciful heavenly father to give us these moments of peace and hope.

Here is a picture I took of him with Wyatt and Eli in August of 2005 when he came to visit us at our house in Temecula.

Happy St. Pattricks Day!!!

Rex will be 6 months next Wednesday, how cute is he?

It's Great to be Eight!

2010-03-10T12:44:00.000-08:00

This past Friday Eli turned Eight. I can't believe that he is getting baptized in a few weeks. (Am I really old enough to have a child getting baptized?) We celebrated his big day with our first slumber party. He invited 4 of his friends. They had so much fun, each had their own DS and we have our WII and two big buckets of LEGOs what else to boys need? Oh yeah pizza and build your own Sundays. They were set, I went to bed around 9:00 and Jeremy was such a trooper, he stayed up with them till midnight after they had all fallen asleep. We're not sure what time they woke up but I heard them first at 6:00am. It was a really fun day/night for Eli.

We are really looking forward to his baptism in a few short weeks. Eli has been working hard to be prepared for the big day. I am so proud of him and what a good boy he is. Eli has grown up a lot this year. I love to watch him practice the piano and do his math which are both a great challenge for our smart boy. I am sure most of you know Eli lives with diabetes and I watch him daily strive to keep himself healthy as he knows how important that is. Eli has a ton of courage and shows it when he tries new things all the time like rock climbing and motorcycling. He watched the Olympics this winter and expressed a desire to try every sport. I am so thankful for this sweet boy in my life and know that Heavenly Father blessed our family to have him as the oldest of four boys. Happy Birthday Eli I love you. Here are some fun pictures of Eli from this last year, except the first one, I had to throw in one from the day he was born he was such a cute baby!

Our First ER Visit

2010-03-02T09:52:00.000-08:00

!!WARNING PICTURES ARE INCLUDED!!

It was inevitable with four boys that we would eventually make our way into the ER, and Sunday evening it finally happened. The boys were in the backyard playing with some child sized golf clubs. Eli took a swing without looking and Luke walked right into his golf club. His eye immediately swelled up and there was a gash under his eyebrow about 1/2" long. For a head wound it really didn't bleed that much but because of the way it was split, we figured he would need stitches. The trip to the ER was as bad as i always thought it would be. 4 hours in the waiting room and then another two in the actual ER. We had to share a curtained room with a teenage kid who had just been beat up, so glad my three year old got to hear the story of how the guy got jumped. In the end we spent 6 hours in the hospital and walked out with two stitches. Luke was a trooper, it tuned out to be a blessing that it took so long because he was asleep by the time they actually stitched his eye

We Finished!!!

2010-02-28T16:11:00.000-08:00

I wanted it documented our completion of the Harry Potter series. This fall we stared reading as a family the first book. I have been reading to the boys at night before they would get into bed. By the end of the first book they were hooked. We have been reading almost every night since and this afternoon we finished #7. It has been really fun to watch the boys get so into these books. Eli in particular has really enjoyed this series. I loved that they would hurry each night to get ready for bed so we could have more time to read. They would almost always have to find a pencil or a toy of some kind to hold as a wand while I read. They have tried out spells on each other, and many times I have had to outlaw spell casting due to fights about who cast their spell first. Has any other mom had their kids tell on each other because one of their brothers cast an "unforgivable curse" on them? This will give you an idea as to how much Eli loved these books; one afternoon he had finished his homework and there was still about 45 minutes before dinner. I told him he could play his DS or I would read to him from Harry Potter. He didn't even take a second to say he would rather have me read to him. Our only problem now is deciding what we should read next, I want to hurry and find something quick so we don't get out of the habit of reading together. I would love to hear suggestions from any of you as to what you have read together.

It's Jeremy's Birthday!!!

2010-02-10T12:26:00.000-08:00

Today Jeremy is 35. I have been contemplating what to say on here that is not mushy, sappy, or boring to everyone but me. So here is what I came up with, the other day I called Jeremy and was trying to get ready to teach preschool and realized I had no milk and no napkins. Jeremy was taking Eli to school when I called to ask him if he would swing by the store and pick up those two things I needed. He said sure and was at the store and back to our house in a couple of minutes. He dropped the things off, kissed me and left for work. As I was unloading the bags he brought in I noticed that he had bought me a Reese's peanut butter cup(my favorite candy bar) and had left it in the bag for me to find so I would have a treat after preschool. None of those things are that big of a deal but as I thought about it, that little morning favor to me is exactly who Jeremy is.

1. Willing to help with taking care of the kids. He is a great dad!
2. Helps me out when I need it as much as he can even though he works 10-12 hours most days.
3. Jeremy is a determined, hard worker.
4. Does things for me just because he knows it will put a smile on my face.
5. He is so humble, never asking for recognition for the wonderful things he does.
6. Always kisses me when he leaves to go somewhere and when he comes home.

These are just a few of the many things that make him such a great guy. I know he hates it when I gush on here about him so I will just say I love you Jeremy and I hope you have a great birthday.

Preschool Trip to the Firestation

2010-02-03T16:14:00.000-08:00

Last week Wyatt's preschool class took a fun trip to the fire station. They were so cute wandering around the engine and taking turns holding the hose. They were all surprised at how heavy the hose was. All the kids wanted to jump on the firefighters beds and of course had to go to the bathroom when they saw the bathroom. Luke has been saying for awhile now that he wants to be a firefighter when he grows up, but has changed his mind now when he heard how noisy the sirens are up close. Here are a few pictures from that day. Sorry they are not great pictures I had Rex strapped to the front of me trying to take these.

Jeremy Moves to Northwestern Mutual

2010-01-08T14:05:00.000-08:00

Jeremy has been putting a lot of hours at work lately, and although we would love to have him at home a little more I am so proud of the hard work and long hours he has put into his career. I have been meaning for quite some time to post about Jeremy's new job. I shouldn't really even call it his new job as he has been there since the summer, I just haven't taken the opportunity to blog about it. This past spring Jeremy got licensed to sell several different types of insurance. He was hired by Northwestern Mutual Financial Network this last summer and is loving his work there. It has been tough learning all the ins and outs of the business (I’m sure any new business is that way) but he is always trying to do the best he can for his clients. He is helping families and businesses set up all kinds of financial programs. At first he mostly dealt with life insurance but has since been licensed in investments, and when he is home it seems he is always studying something new. He loves the work he is doing and feels so fulfilled at being able to help families be prepared for the future. I know he will be a success at it as he continues to work hard. This may be a shameless plug, but you should give him a call and have him show you what he does! Check out this link to see his website:

Here is a picture of all of us at his company Christmas party. All six looking at the camera how amazing is that, she only took one shot and we were all looking even Rex!

New Years Day at Big Rock

2010-01-02T14:39:00.000-08:00

We spent a beautiful New Years Day in Lake Perris rock climbing. We had so much fun with the other Price family. Only a few of the kids actually climbed on the rock wall with ropes but it was great to just be outdoors. The weather was beautiful and the kids found hours of rocks to climb on. It is so fun to spend a day with a family where our kids all get along so well, we got there, everyone found someone to play with, and we adults got to mostly sit back and enjoy the day. Here are a few fun pictures of the day.
Luke and Charlie striking a pose.

Rex enjoying a rare day outdoors.

Wyatt and Grant they are the best of friends!

Some actual rock climbing. This was my first time watching Eli climb I was so impressed at how fast he got up the wall.

The beautiful sunset ending a perfect day.

I think this great day was an indication of what a great year this is going to be. Friends and fun what more can we ask for.

Rex is Three Months Old!

2009-12-28T16:38:00.000-08:00

With all the holidays coming and going these past few months I have neglected to add any pictures of my growing baby on here. That, and our camera was broken for so long and is now fixed so I am trying to make up for it by taking lots of cute pictures of Rex. On Christmas Eve, Rex turned 3 months old. I could not ask for a happier baby than this little guy. I walk in all the time to find him smiling at nothing even laughing occasionally. I think he is looking more and more like Wyatt but he does have a look of his own. We moved him into the room with Eli last night and he slept pretty well in there, I think he only woke up two times. I am so thankful to have this little guy in our family, he brings us so much Joy!

OK, two out of the three pictures he is in the swing, is he a fourth child or what? He does spend a fair amount of time in his swing but he loves it in there.

The Faith of a Child

2009-12-18T09:42:00.000-08:00

I put that funny story about Luke on here a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to share a sweet story about him too. I hope this is not too personal, but as I use this as our family journal I wanted to make sure it was documented.

We have an older truck that runs good most of the time, except for in the rain. Since we live in Southern California and it rains like 10 days a year we are OK with it. Last Monday we did wake up to rain and I had forgotten about the trucks rain problem until Jeremy called and reminded me. We got Eli to school with no incident, I parked the truck in the garage so it could stay dry all day until we had to pick him up from school. By the time 2:45 came around it was down pouring. I thought the truck was probably dry enough to get to school and back with no problems as it is only about 1 1/2 miles from home. I was wrong. I was in the pick up line and the truck died. Fortunately we were on a hill and I could put it in neutral and coast down to the shoulder and out of the other parents way. I didn't know what to do I was a mile from the school, it was pouring rain and I had three small kids in the car. I called Jeremy who was working over an hour away and he said to just wait and it would hopefully start. I got off the phone with him and told Wyatt and Luke we needed to pray. I offered a short and simple prayer that the truck would start. When I was finished Luke immediately said, "And now Heavenly Father will send an angel." Oh the faith of a child. I silently said another prayer to myself that this would be a good faith building experience as well as a rescue. I waited about one more minute and tried to turn the truck back on it wouldn't start. I turned the key one more time and of course the truck started right up. We were able to get to the school, pick up Eli, and get home again with no problems. I was proud of Wyatt who said as we got going, now we need to pray and thank Heavenly Father. I actually found him three more times that afternoon on his knees giving thanks for the help we received. They couldn't wait for Jeremy to get home that evening to tell him the story of our rescue.

I am so thankful to a Heavenly Father who hears and answers our prayers. It is at times like this when I know he is there to back up everything we are trying to teach in family home evening and our scripture study. Sorry if this is a little long but I couldn't pass up the chance to record a special experience like this.

"My Evil Button"

2009-12-01T09:56:00.000-08:00

So I was at Walmart yesterday afteroon, taking a rare trip with all four boys. They had been pretty good (I had bribed them with a promised trip to Sonic's happy hour if they were good). We made it to the check out stand and that was about all they could take. Of course the gift card I was trying to use wouldn't work and then the boys really started to get antsy. Wyatt and Luke were standing next to me talking and I hear Luke(3) say to Wyatt(5), "Don't make me push my 'Evil Button'" I looked down and he had one of the walmart smiley face stickers on his belly and was showing Wyatt that it was his "Evil Button". It just made me laugh that in this situation, he was going to pull out the Evil Button. For those of you who know Luke or have heard anything about him know that yes, he definetly does have an Evil Button I just didn't know it was the happy face sticker from Walmart. Could there be any better time or place to engage such a button than at 4:00 in the afternoon during the holidays at Walmart with four boys? Maybe it was one of those had to be there situations but I thought it was funny.
For those of you wondering, no, it did not get pushed!

Wyatt is Fantastic Five!!!

2009-11-06T09:35:00.000-08:00

My sweet Wyatt turned five on Wednesday. We celebrated his birthday on Sunday when so much of our family was here, it was so fun to be able to share that with Grandmas and Grandpas.

I love when my kids have birthdays because it is a great chance to remember the special things about them. Here is my top 5 things about my fantastic five year old.

1. He makes friends so easily, he plays great with kids older than him and has no problem playing with kids younger than him.

2. He has no greater desire than to be a missionary. When you ask him what he wants to be when he grows up the answer is always "a missionary". His favorite bedtime story is the story of Ammon.

3. He is always wanting to learn. Right now he is constantly asking me to teach him to read.

4. Wyatt is such a sweet big brother. For the other two boys the novelty of a baby in the house wore off pretty quick, but not for Wyatt. He cannot get enough of Rex, and Rex already knows it, he lights up when Wyatt comes to talk to him.

5. Wyatt has a love of life that should be bottled and handed out freely. He is rarely seen without a smile on his face and is about as easy going as they come.

I love you Wyatt and know that I am a better person because I have the chance to be with you everyday. Happy Birthday.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures of Wyatt:

Halloween and Rex's Blessing

2009-11-02T11:23:00.000-08:00

We had a very fun Halloween weekend. My parents came Friday night and helped me at the ward trunk or treat party while Jeremy worked. Jeremy's family came on Saturday and it was so great to see all of them especially Tom and Chanelle's boys that we haven't seen since June. The boys had fun all dressing up we even ended up with and buzz and woody. We trick or treated and then had a sleep over with the four oldest boys all of them in one room.

Our boys and their cousins:

Eli as Harry Potter

Wyatt as The Hulk

Luke as Buzz Lightyear

Rex as a Sweet Pea

The next day, Sunday, we blessed Rex at church. It was a very sweet blessing and it gave me a chance to reflect again how thankful I am for Jeremy and all the other men in our lives who live worthy of their priesthood to be able to perform such a special ordinance. Jeremy and I felt the spirit very strong and feel so blessed to have little Rex in our lives, he is such a joy to have in our family, I am so thankful to Heavenly Father for giving me such a great baby. Here are a few pictures we took at home after the blessing.

Today is Sandy's 33rd birthday! Those of you who know Sandy know how beautiful, intelligent, caring and hard working she is and how lucky the boys and I are to have such a wonderful mom and wife. She is everything to me.

Below are a few of my favortie pictures of Sandy - we don't have many photos, she is always the one behind the camera.

Happy Birthday Baby - I love you.

A little R & R

2009-10-21T18:27:00.000-07:00

With all four babies I have had people give me the advice that when my baby sleeps I should sleep too. I have two other small kids still at home during the day, so this is not something I have been able to take advantage of very often in the past four weeks since Rex was born. This afternoon was one of those rare occasions where all three boys took a nap all at the same time and it lasted for over two hours. And yes, even though I had laundry to do, bathrooms to be cleaned and floors to be vacuumed, I laid down next to Rex and slept too. So for any of you moms out there wondering if you should take this advice, I highly recommend it!

Peltzer Farm Pumpkin Patch

2009-10-21T18:05:00.000-07:00

At the beginning of the month we took Wyatt's preschool class to a local farm that does a fun pumpkin patch each year. It was unseasonable cool so we could stay a little longer this year, we have been there in years past where it was so hot that the trip was cut short. Wyatt's favorite part is always the corn maze, I didn't think to take pictures of that but it was a great day with a really sweet class. Luke had a really good time too and Rex stayed nice and comfy in the great baby sling my sister made me.

My good friend Leann gave me a photo sitting for a baby gift and we went over and did it yesterday. Here is one of the pictures she took and edited. As we get more of them, I will post them on here. She did a great job, I am always amazed at how good she is. Thanks again Leann!

Announcing: Rex Douglas Price

2009-09-26T12:16:00.000-07:00

On Thursday September 24, 2009 at 2:20pm our newest member of the family arrived. Rex Douglas Price was born weighing 7lbs 11oz and measuring 20 inches long. I was induced at 7:30 in the morning and things progressed quickly, had my epidural and water broken both around 12:00 and at 2:20 he was born. We are both doing really well, we came home from the hospital yesterday (Friday). I am so thankful to my mother-in-law who has been here all week helping us get ready for the baby and then staying with the boys while we were in the hospital what a huge blessing that has been for all of us to have her here. Here are a few pictures, unfortunately our camera did not work when we tried taking pictures so all of the pictures we have are from our phones. We can't tell yet who he looks like, he has the same color and amount of hair as the rest of the boys have had I guess time will tell.

Baby Update

2009-08-21T16:24:00.000-07:00

I haven't mentioned anything for awhile about my pregnancy so I thought I would give a little update as I went to the Dr. today and had an ultrasound done. Sorry no pictures, I'm not a big one on having my picture taken when I'm pregnant.

I am almost 35 weeks but measure almost 36 weeks. I have measured big with the other boys so I don't get excited thinking I'll go early. He is head down but face up so again not much chance of going into labor early. Wyatt was "sunny side up" too and even though I was dilated to a 3 and fully effaced 3 weeks before my due date with him, I still had to be induced. She said he probably weighs around 6 pounds right now give or take 10%. Everything seems to be very healthy which is great news, I asked her if there was any chance of him being a her not a him and she said very little (I had to ask:). She tried to look for me to double check but because of the way he was laying and how squashed he is in there she couldn't tell. I've made my peace with having all boys anyway and might have had a few seconds of disappointment if she would have said it was a girl.

Anyway, we're in the home stretch now and trying to survive the last weeks of pregnancy, for all you who have been through it know each week seems to last a month, especially in the hot summer months. Jeremy is in Sale's School, until the middle of September, I am teaching a month of preschool and have Super Saturday the middle of September so we have plenty to keep us busy and know the baby really can't come until then.

Camp Wana Kura- Diabetes Camp 2009

2009-08-04T11:32:00.000-07:00

Last week Eli was able to attend Diabetes Camp- Camp Wana Kura for his second year. It is such an amazing week for him and he looks so forward to it every year. It is in Santee Regional park near San Diego. He goes all day and I pick him up every afternoon. It is all for kids with diabetes which is such a great opportunity for him to mingle with other kids with his disease. They do tons of crafts which is right up Eli's alley, they have water party's, do paddle boats in the lake and many more day camp type activities. It is a great chance for him to see that he is not the only one that gets low blood sugars, not the only one who has to stop and test his blood, and that he is much more like other kids than different. At the hospital where we get our quarterly workups done he sees a wonderful nurse practitioner who was his "Camp Nurse" this year. She is so amazing as she has had diabetes herself most of her life. She took Eli under her wing and made him feel so special this year, even awarded him camper of the year for their unit. Jeremy and I are so thankful that he has this great week every year and look forward to him being part of it for many years to come. A big thanks again to my parents for getting their timeshare for us so we didn't have to drive back and forth. More pictures to come of the fun things we did with them.

Here is Eli with Laura Barba, his Nurse Practitioner. That smile on Eli's face never leaves for the four days he is at camp.

This is Eli's unit that he spent the week with, this is on the last day when they are getting ready to do their skit. Eli told a joke for his part.

This is their camp picture, the theme for camp this year was "On the Road to a Cure" and each unit was a different kind of car. Eli's unit was the mini coopers.

Luke is "3"

2009-07-24T14:28:00.000-07:00

Today is Luke's 3rd birthday. I don't know how I turned around and my youngest is three! There has never been a dull moment since his birth. When he was born he had a bad case of colic, (are there any good cases:) we struggled for months trying to get him to stop crying all the time. After the collic went away he was left with some really bad habits of crying constantly. Night and day. He was such a trial of patience for us and everyone around us. All of a sudden about the time he turned two, everything changed for him and now he is such a sweet boy who has a really fun personality. He has no idea that he is the youngest of three boys, he acts like he can do anything that his older brothers can do. He sat and watched Wyatt everyday at swim lessons and whatever chance he got to be in the pool he would try out whatever he had seen Wyatt learn.

Luke has many loves probably his top 5 would be:

1. Mickey Mouse (We keep wondering when this phase will wear off but he loves Mickey Mouse so much.)
2. Being with "My Boys". (He started calling Eli and Wyatt that one day and it has stuck, now that is how he refers to his brothers.
3. Doing anything with Dad (Whether he is just going to the store or to a baseball game, he loves to be anywhere with Jeremy.)
4. Playing with Playdough (He has been known to sit at the table for 2+ hours playing with playdough.)
5. Coloring (He is always happiest when he has a crayon or marker in his hand, of course he is also the first of my boys to color on the walls)

Here are a few of my favorite pictures of him:

A fun day at the beach.

Swimming Lessons 2009

2009-07-10T08:32:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was the last day of swimming lessons for Eli and Wyatt. They had great teachers and we saw a huge improvement in both of them over the past two weeks. Wyatt has really gained confidence in the water and is getting braver all the time with what he will try. Eli's class was a stroke readiness class and they really prepared him well to start learning some strokes. At the pool where they take lessons there is a big twisty slide that on the last day Eli got to go down. (Wyatt wasn't big enough but he got to play on the little slides.) Those two have been so much fun to watch and both teachers made comments about what fun they were to have in class. Luke was such a good sport as he had to sit and watch from the side everyday. Next year he will be old enough to take lessons.

The Sweet Sound of Music

2009-06-09T09:11:00.000-07:00

My generous in-laws told us a year and a half ago when they moved that we could have their piano. We were so thankful but until this past weekend couldn't get a trailer up there to bring it back with us. We decided to bite the bullet and put a hitch on our van, borrowed a trailer from Jeremy's work, and made the drive up to get the piano. Our nephew McKay was being baptized in St. George so Jeremy dropped us off Thursday night and drove the rest of the way to Santaquin. He got up the next morning, loaded up the piano and drove back to St. George. Between traffic and pulling a trailer it took us 8 1/2 hours to get back from St. George (it is usually a 5-6 hour drive.) Anyway, it is done now and we are so thankful to have their beautiful piano in our home. Barbara has kept the piano in such great shape, it is 30years old and shows almost next to no wear. Jeremy and I have been taking turns playing and we both realize how much we have forgotten but really look forward to learning again. Eli has been so anxious to learn so Jeremy taught him a scale last night and he has been practicing it all morning. Of course there is a lot of noise coming from the piano but that is to be expected. I really look forward to years of music in our home. Thank you again to Doug and Barbara for making this possible for us.

(Sorry it's blurry, my camera was acting up this morning)

Brothers/Friends

2009-05-29T14:06:00.000-07:00

I was frustrated with my three boys this morning because it took them over a half an hour to eat a bowl of cereal, and then another half an hour to get dressed. I was voicing my frustrations to Jeremy and he said, "Well it is kind of hard when you always have two friends around." I have been thinking about that all morning and how my boys really are the best of friends. In all of that hour long ordeal to get ready, there was not one fight, it was just playing, pretending and making up games. Not to say they never fight, we have our fair share of that too, but for the most part, they really are the best of friends. I look so forward to watching their relationships in the future as I know they are just going to get closer and closer to each other. Having all boys really is going to have its advantages and be really fun! Here are a few pictures from over the past few years of my boys together.

This was this past weekend at the local baseball game.

10th Anniversary Trip to Hawaii

2009-05-17T10:24:00.000-07:00

It's been two weeks since Jeremy and I got back from Hawaii but I have been very busy and this is the first chance I have taken to upload a few pictures from our trip.

April 30th was our 10th Anniversary and we were so lucky to spend it in Hawaii. We were able to do so much in the five days we were there, it was amazing to me how much we could do with no kids. We snorkeled a few days, drove around the whole island, took a tour of Pearl Harbor, visited the Laie Temple Visitor's Center, went to the Polynesian Cultural Center, ate at some fabulous restaurants and enjoyed relaxing on the beach. It was such a great trip and was so great for Jeremy and I to have time to ourselves. So nice to reminisce about the past 10 years and how thankful we are for our marriage, our 3 (soon 4) sweet boys, a beautiful house, a great ward, and so many great friends and family, we are truly blessed with so much in our lives.

Another big thank you to Barbara, Jeremy's mom, for coming out and staying with our boys. They had so much fun and my house has never been cleaner. Double blessings to go on a fun trip and know my kids are so well taken care of. She even had to change out Eli's pump site which involves kind of a big shot and she did it perfectly, so thanks again Grandma.

Underwater pictures while snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. We bought a disposable underwater camera at walmart so the pictures aren't real great and had to be scanned. These were the only two on the whole roll that turned out.

On our anniversary, we went to a restaurant called Allan Wong's. The second picture is of my dessert, it looks like a coconut full of fruit, but it is actually coconut sorbet with a hard shell chocolate surrounding it and rolled in nuts. Even from up close it looked like a real coconut. It was a really fun night.

This is kind of cheesy but the beaches are so beautiful there and I wanted a picture to remind me the great day we spent on the North Shore.

Boys New Bedding

2009-04-26T09:49:00.000-07:00

Years ago, my mom started collecting airplane fabric to make Eli a quilt. As many of my mom's projects go, she went crazy buying fabric. She finished the quilt a few weeks ago and found that she had enough to make one for Wyatt and Luke. She also made them pillow shams and a throw pillow for each bed. Believe it or not when I told her we were having another boy, she said she has leftover fabric to make another quilt for our new little boy. See, more great reasons to have another boy! She did a great job and the boys love their "new room". The last picture is the throw pillow that she made for Eli's bed, it is a picture of an airplane that Eli drew when he was 2 1/2. She saved the picture, enlarged it and embroidered it onto the pillow. For those of you who are wondering, yes, we have all three boys in one room. It makes for some fun long nights, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Jeremy says we are putting #4 in there too. We'll see about that.

Can't Have Too Much of a Good Thing

2009-04-24T13:55:00.000-07:00

We found out today that we are having another boy. I will admit to disapointment, I had many high hopes for a little girl but obviously there are other plans for us. Everything looked good on the ultrasound so we are thankful for that. We had a 3D ultrasound done which I have not had before and Jeremy says he thinks the baby looks like Wyatt. (Only because it is still so skinny and looks like a skeleton, not unlike Wyatt.)

Train Museum Pictures- by Leann Price

2009-03-24T08:03:00.000-07:00

I am lucky enough to have a great friend, Leann Price, who is a fantastic photographer. (Her husband is Jeremy's cousin and they are in our ward.) She took my boys out yesterday to an old train museum and took pictures of them. It was great because the boys were so interested in the old trains and would pose pretty easily for her. I am attaching only a few of the pictures she took but you can go to her web site and see more. If any of you in this area are interested in her taking your kids and or your families pictures she is VERY reasonably priced and does an incredible job. Her web site is pricefamilyphotography.com. Thanks again Leann you are so talented!

New Phone Numbers for Jeremy and I

2009-03-19T08:25:00.000-07:00

Jeremy and I switched cell phone carries yesterday resulting in new phone numbers for both of us. Anyway, here they are, please let me know if you have any problems using either of them. Hope everyone is doing well.

Jeremy's new phone # 951-345-9464
Sandy's new phone # 951-345-9167

#4 Is On the Way!!!

2009-03-10T07:56:00.000-07:00

Well, I had my first Dr. Apt last week so it is pretty safe to post on here that we are expecting again. I am 11 Weeks along which makes me due on September 28. Everything looked good at my appointment. I was pretty sick for a few weeks but it seems to be tapering off a bit now. The boys are very excited and Wyatt is earnestly praying for a girl. (The ultrasound picture is not mine, they don't scan well so I found one on the Internet.)

Happy Birthday Eli!!

2009-03-05T17:51:00.000-08:00

Today is Eli's 7th birthday! It seems like we have been celebrating it for a week. Instead of a birthday party this year Jeremy took him skiing while we were in Utah last weekend. They went with Jeremy's brother Tom and Eli's cousin Carson. The two of them did so great and by the end of the second run they had it down. (Look for pictures coming soon.) This morning when he woke up he came out to a new bike and helmet and he is very excited for his first ride on it. He had a modified day at school so we took him to lunch at his favorite restaurant Red Lobster where he got his fill of crab legs. After dinner tonight we are going to have his other favorite lemon meringue pie. I think it has been a great day for him.

Here are some things I love about Eli.

-He greets me everyday after school with a huge smile and runs to meet me.
-He is a great big brother who loves to teach everything he can to his little brothers.
-He is the smartest 7 year old I know reading at probably a fourth grade reading level in the first grade.
-He takes all the challenges that Type1 diabetes throws at him with a great attitude, never complaining and always becoming more and more independent.
-He is so daring just this year he got his own motorcycle that he is trying to learn to jump on, he climbed 90+ feet up a mountain his first time rock climbing and this weekend took on skiing and of course loved it. He is my thrill seeker.

*These are just a few, I could go on and on, those of you who know Eli know he is really a special kid with some amazing talents.

Happy Birthday Jeremy!!

2009-02-11T12:54:00.000-08:00

Jeremy and I have a long standing pact that we will never announce in a restaurant the others birthday, therefore, never being sung to in a restaurant. However, we have never said anything about our blog so I am going to take a few minutes and wish him a very happy birthday.

Jeremy turned 34 yesterday February 10th. I have been thinking about him so much the last couple of days and am so filled with love for this great man I am married to. This April we will celebrate our 10th Anniversary and I have to say that he has done everything in his power to make me feel special for so much of that time. He is a great husband and provider for our family. He is such a great example to our boys of what a real man should be. He is known by our boys as saying, "Heavenly Father trusted me to raise you boys to be men and that is just what I am doing." I am sure that is why we have only boys because he is such a great example in a world that is often confusing when it comes to gender roles. Jeremy loves to have fun with his boys. Some of the fun things he likes us to do together include camping, rock climbing, motorcycle riding, and hiking. He really is every boys dream dad. Most important of all Jeremy is a great priesthood leader in our home. He is so good about reminding us to read scriptures at night and always makes sure we have family prayer. He takes his calling as a primary teacher very seriously and is such a good example to the boys he teaches there. I will be forever thankful to have met and married such a wonderful man. Here are a few of my favorite pictures of Jeremy over the past couple of years.

Big Rock

2009-02-03T19:45:00.000-08:00

Sandy’s brother Rob was down from Rexburg for the weekend, so we went out to Big Rock to do some climbing. Eli came with us and got to break in his new climbing shoes! He did a great – the first short climb we did he was a little scared to climb to the anchor so he lowered off and then I climbed up and had Rob tie him in and then he climbed up to me. It was awesome to sit up there (only about 50ft) with him and review the climb and show him the ropes. Rob led a longer pitch next (about 95ft) and I tied Eli in and he “cleaned” the pitch. He did a great job and was very careful to clip each quickdraw to his harness. Once he was up there with Rob (who took all the photos of him climbing up) we almost convinced him to stay there with Rob while I climbed up to allow us to all climb the next pitch. The thought of going up higher was too much, but afterward he thought he would want to do it. Eli is still a bit too small to belay me, so we are looking for a climbing partner to come and climb a few easy pitches with us.

Wyatt's Feelings on Stranger Danger

2009-01-21T14:25:00.000-08:00

Some moments in life must be recorded in one way or another. We had one of those moments the other night with our little Wyatt (4 years old).

For Family Home Evening we were discussing "Stranger Danger" and basic safety rules at our house. We were talking with our kids about different situations that could come up. This is hard as a parent because you don't want to scare your kids but you also want to make them aware and be prepared in case they ever needed to protect themselves. So after we had said pretty much all we were going to say Jeremy added his last dad thoughts which are always the same when we have these conversations. He tells the boys that if anything were to ever happen to them, if they were lost or if someone took them they needed to know that he would always come for them. He said he would not eat, sleep or do anything until he had them back home. The boys didn't say anything and we asked them if they had any questions about what we had been talking about. Wyatt quietly said, "Dad, would you bring your truck?" Jeremy said, "Yes". Wyatt then said, "Can I sit in the front?" Jeremy could hardly keep a straight face and said, "Yes". Wyatt said, "OK" and he was content, almost excited with Jeremy's answer. Well, hopefully something we said got through to them that night, if nothing else, Wyatt knows where he'll be sitting if Dad ever has to come and rescue him.

Great Book Recommendation

2009-01-06T20:56:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite hobbies is reading, and often I get stuck when I can't find new book or author that I love. Over Christmas Jeremy's Aunt Suzy gave me a whole stack of great books. My favorite was one called Goose Girl by Shannon Hale. It is classified as Juvenile Fantasy. I have never heard the Brother's and Grim Fairy Tale of Goose Girl but this book was written based on the fairy tale. It is an easy read that I could not put down from the second I picked it up. I always appreciate a recommendation for a good book so I thought I would pass this along to anyone who might be looking for a good book to read.

A New Kind of Hero

2008-12-27T18:10:00.000-08:00

Here is how it all started.

We had a very generous family member give us a Wii for Christmas. The boys had no idea and it was so fun to see the look on their faces.

This came next.

We are all hooked!

Eli loves it too, I just haven't caught him on camera yet we'll make sure to get it on here when I do. Luke came in to Jeremy early this morning and said, "Dad, will you come do guitar hero with me." When Jeremy didn't answer he said, "Dad, let's rock." Fun for the whole family!

Christmas Fun

2008-12-27T17:45:00.000-08:00

We had a very quite and relaxing Christmas morning that started at 3:45 with Eli coming in and letting us know that Santa had brought him an MP3 player. Thankfully he crawled in with us and went back to sleep. We were all up around 6:30 and with anxious dad around all the gifts were opened by 8:00. We have very generous grandparents who always find just the right gift for the boys. Here are a few pictures of the gift receiving.

Here is Luke with Mickey present #1 of I think 10. All he asked for this year were mickey presents, nothing in particular as long as they were Mickey presents.

And here was #2 a set of Mickey Legos. He has really loved these and feels like one of the big boys doing legos.

Ok so he didn't get all Mickey presents. He also got his own light saber so now we finally have three light sabers for all the fighting we could ever want.

Wyatt got a bow and arrow from Grandma and Grandpa Price

He also got some really fun shake up cars from Grandma and Grandpa Nutty.

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without Eli getting a bionicle. He loved this one because it came with a ship. He has such a knack for putting these together, I think he can do these in about 10 minutes now.

He was very excited to get a new webkins.

We had a very wonderful Christmas and are very thankful to have the love of those so close to us even though the miles keep us apart on Christmas.

A Toasty Warm Christmas Eve

2008-12-25T22:35:00.000-08:00

For our cousin exchange on the Price side this year we decided to make all the kids robes. We let the boys open their cousin gifts on Christmas Eve which was a tradition in Jeremy's family growing up. The boys thought it was awesome that they got to open a gift early and they looked so cute all bundled up in their new robes. Luke even slept all night in his.

Merry Christmas

Some Traditions Never Die

2008-12-22T16:37:00.000-08:00

Decorating Christmas cookies was one of my favorite Christmas traditions as a kid. Today was rainy so I decided to whip up a batch of sugar cookies and let the boys go to work on them. The boys really had a great time putting them together and it was fun to talk about the different neighbors they wanted to take the cookies to. You'll have to excuse the boys hair in the pictures, they all took naps in between baking and decorating so they have some really handsome bedhead.

What We Are Thankful For:

2008-11-30T17:48:00.000-08:00

I was not good about taking pictures during our Thanksgiving weekend in St George so I decided to interview our family about what they are thankful for and put in a fun picture that I have not yet posted. We had a great trip to St. George and it was really fun to watch the kids enjoy their cousins so much. Kip and Amy were so great to host all of us which was not a small number since we were so lucky to have all members of Jeremy's immediate family there. 11 adults and 8 kids. That is alot of people in one house for 4 days. Thanks so much Amy and Kip.

Luke Loves Daddy

2008-11-30T16:39:00.000-08:00

We were in the car a few weeks ago and Luke started singing "I love Daddy, He loves me". I didn't even know he knew that song. I was lucky enough to have my camera in my car with me so I recorded a little of his cute voice singing this priceless song.

Family Camping Trip....Almost

2008-11-16T08:25:00.000-08:00

Jeremy and I realized this week that we hadn't gone camping all year and with the weather staying as warm as it has lately we decided we would go this weekend. We spent the afternoon packing up all the necessary gear, Jeremy made tin foil dinners and we headed out. When we got to the foothills to go up the Mt. a big sign was posted saying that there was a fire warning in affect and we couldn't build a campfire. As many of you experienced campers know, tin foil dinners are not so good with out a campfire. So, rather than eat raw meat we headed back home and cooked our dinners in the BBQ. We roasted marshmallows and made smores. After all the eating was done and the boys had adequate time playing with their flashlights, we put everyone's sleeping bags on the front room floor and turned on a movie. I love camping as much as the next person and of course was disappointed that we couldn't go camping outdoors, but I have say that was the easiest clean-up from camping I have ever done and I slept better (in my own bed) than I have ever slept on a campout. The boys were such good sports and really made the night so much fun.

Eli Gets Award at School for Empathy

2008-11-16T07:46:00.000-08:00

On Friday November 14th, Eli received a "Soring Spirit" award in front of the whole school as a student who shows empathy. At the school Eli goes to, once a month they recognize students who show H.E.A.R.T. (Harmony, Empathy, Achievement, Reflection, Transformation). His teacher said that he is always quick to help someone who has gotten hurt or is willing to walk students to the office who are not feeling well. She said you can tell he has learned from his diabetes and is always looking for ways to help other students who might not be feeling well. We are so proud of Eli and the efforts he has made to be a good example to others in his class. (In case you are wondering why his clothes are on backwards, it was backwards day at school.)

Biking Boys

2008-11-12T16:46:00.001-08:00

I finally took some pictures today of Wyatt on his new bike. All of the boys seem to have a new love of bike riding now that Wyatt can ride. Jeremy fixed up Wyatt's old bike for Luke so now all three of them can ride together. Luke is still trying to figure it all out. (Why do they always want to peddle backwards when they first start to learn?) Anyway here are all three of them getting ready to ride. Notice that they are all in shorts and short sleeves, it was probably 85 degrees today November 12!

Wyatt on his Star Wars Bike

2008-11-12T16:45:00.000-08:00

Here is Wyatt on his new star wars bike. He is doing so great, he can ride all the way around our park all by himself. We have a good size park by our house too probably 1/4 of a mile to go all the way around.

Luke getting ready for his first ride.

2008-11-12T16:44:00.000-08:00

Luke was very excited to ride his bike today. Like everything else, if Wyatt can do something he doesn't see any reason why he can't also. He kept wanting me to let go and would say, "I do it by myself" I would let go and he would start trying to petal backward again. He'll get it, if I know him, he will watch Wyatt a few more times and then he'll be racing Wyatt around the park.

ELI LOOSES HIS FIRST TOOTH!!!

2008-11-12T16:28:00.000-08:00

Saturday was a big day for Eli. After many months of being one of the only kids in 1st grade who hasn't lost a tooth yet he finally lost his first one. Actually he was driving me crazy asking me to wiggle it every five minutes and then asking "do you think it is looser now?" Finally I just reached in and pulled it out for him. He was very happy to say the least! I am not sure if you can tell from the picture or not, but his two front permanent teeth have already grown in behind the baby teeth so we were very anxious for him to get it out and are hoping the next tooth will come out soon. We see a lot of crowding in the future. Any of this sound familiar Mom and Dad?

2008-11-04T19:00:00.000-08:00

Today is Wyatt's 4th birthday. We took his preschool class to Chuck E. Cheese for a really fun party. His Grandpa gave him a really COOL star wars bike and his practical parents gave him a helmet, elbow pads and knee pads. He picked out a guitar with his money from Grandma and Grandpa Price.

Wyatt is such a sweet boy, we are so happy to have him in our family. He loves to go to preschool which is here at our house. He loves to watch TV and to stay up late playing in his room with Luke. He says when he grows up he wants to be a missionary. We couldn't be prouder of him!

We hope everyone had a really fun and safe Halloween. I am putting up a few (I will try to keep it to a few) of the boys in their costumes. We did the ward's trunk or treat party on October 26 and then spent Halloween day at Disneyland. Our passes are expiring early in November so we thought we would get one more day in before they expire. We did end up getting home to trick or treat with our friends the Callahans on Halloween night so the kids had a really fun packed day and Jeremy and I are still trying to catch up on how exhausted we got that day/night. Hope you guys are doing well.

Eli went as Frankenstein. We had fun making this costume and painting his face. The scrub down afterwards was not so much fun!

Luke went back and forth between being a fire fighter and sheriff Woody in the end it was a fire fighter but I might as well us this chance to show off how cute he is as both.

Wyatt went as Peter Pan. We tried so hard to get him to be Buzz and Luke to be Woody but as I am sure most of you know they all have a mind of their own.

We have seen and enjoyed many family and friend's blogs, so we are jumping on the bandwagon - if for no other reason we can go online and admire our own sweet pictures and awesome posts.

So for the grandma's and so we can remind ourselves how cool we really are we are publishing this blog.
