Snowbird

Make a Smilebox slideshow

My Mom and I took Cord, Cael, Ashlyn, Jordan and Colby to Snowbird for a few days. At first I thought that I must be crazy to agree to this, but we have had a wonderful time. Take a look at all of the FUN that we had.

WOW, How Time Flies...

It has been forever since I have updated our blog. So much has been happening.

The Miss Rodeo Utah Pageant and the Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo are over and they were both a great success. We had 10 girls in the pageant and everything ran smoothly. The 2008 Miss Rodeo Utah is Renae Cowley from West Point.

Since then, I have been trying to spend as much time as possible with the boys. We have been swimming alot at Grandma Tam's and Grandpa John's. The boys love to go there as much as possible.

Cord loves the pool. He is always trying to one up his big brothers.

Colton is mastering the back flip.

Cooper is a FISH, he loves the water. We usually have to drag him out when it is time to go home.

Cael is always just happy to be there.

I have a crazy crew, but I love them. They are so much fun!!

ALOHA

On Sunday, all of the boys wore their Hawaiian shirts to church. I just had to share this picture of my handsome boys.

4th of July FUN!

The Cypers Family had a wonderful 4th of July. It started out at the wonderful Hooper parade. Following the parade, we went up to Grandpa John's and Grandma Tam's to swim. This was a nice relief, because the tempature was about 102. After a long afternoon of swimming, we rushed off to the annual Maughan Family 4th Celebration at Rod & Mindy's house.

Rod was a great cook, the hotdogs and hamburgers were top notch.

The boys even had a friendly game of football in the back pasture.

And what summer party is complete without a water balloon fight?

Cael wasn't sure if he liked the fireworks...

Our night was topped off with a beautiful sunset and amazing fireworks.

Preschool Graduation

Well it's official, Cord has graduated from preschool. He attended Treasure House Preschool and loved every minute of it. They went on so many fun field trips, he learned a lot of fun songs and stories and he made new friends. His favorite part of the whole experience was his teacher, Miss Brenda.




Now he is looking forward to kindergarten. He cannot wait to ride the bus home from school. I cannot believe that he is ready to go to school. Time goes by so fast. Congratulations CORD!!!

How long did you date? We dated for 9 months, but we new that we were ment for each other after 5 months. We got engaged on December 11th.

How old is he? This year he will be the BIG 40 on December 4th.

Who eats more? He does.

Who said I love you first? He did.

Who is taller? He is, but not by much!

Who is smarter? It depends on the subject.

Who does the laundry? Me, and that's the way I like it.

Who does the dishes? We all do. Greg, me and the boys. We all pitch in.

Who pays the bills? I do. Greg has no clue, if we were making more money I could take him to the cleaners.

Who mows the lawn? Greg does it with only 9 3/4 fingers. About 5 years ago, Greg had a run in with the lawn mower, and needless to say, the lawn mower won!

Who cooks dinner? We both cook dinner!! I work three days a week and he gets home from work earlier that I do. So I am very lucky that dinner is ready when I get home. I am also fortunate that my wonderful mother cooks dinner for us every Sunday.

Who drives when you are together? Greg! I like to drive, but he can't stand not being behind the wheel.

Who is more stubborn? I am, I really, really like to get my way.

Who kissed who first? After dating for about 3 months, Greg finally made the move and held my hand!! It was not long after that, that he finally kissed me.

Who asked who out first? Greg asked me out. It was a blind date. I had a class with his sister at college and she set us up.

Who proposed? He did!! On December 11, 1992. We went out to dinner and then went to Christmas Village to see the lights. After that he drove me to Beus Pond, by Weber State, on the way it started to snow. By the time that we got there, it was snowing so hard. The biggest snowflakes that I have ever seen. We got out of the car and he got down on one knee in the snow and asked me to marry him. It was very Romantic, until the drive home. He had a Porche at the time, and it didn't drive the best in the snow. At one point we were driving down the hill sideways.

Who has more siblings? We have the same, TWO. I have 2 brothers (Rod & Russ) He has 1 brother & 1 sister (Steve & Nicole)

Who wears the pants in the family? I'd like to think that I do, but I know that he likes to think that he does. I guess that it is best that way. Everyone is happy.
