2009-12-06T09:04:00.001-08:00

Here's the pics, from us getting ready for Christmas here in the Higbee Household.

Look what I did!

2009-11-17T18:06:00.000-08:00

I bought this chair at my friends yard sale for 10 cents, then I re-did the fabric. it looks much more groovy now, doncha think?

I'm not really sure why the After pic is sideways, I re-did it like 3 times, but it always uploads sideways. But, isn't it FABULOUS!

2009-10-11T10:28:00.000-07:00

Last night Gain went to his first dance in UT. It was a costume church dance. He said he had a lot of fun. Notice the prince costume, it's what Glenn married me in :)

Great Salt Lake

2009-10-11T10:05:00.001-07:00

It was about a month ago, we took Gain on a long drive to the Great Salt Lake, but it didn't end there, oh no, we went and saw the Olympics stuff at the University of UT. And drove into La caille the most expensive, and beautiful restaurant in UT. of course we didn't eat there, just drove up to see.

September in The mountains

2009-09-13T13:08:00.001-07:00

Yesterday we took Gain to buy a new camera. the we took him and River up in the mountains. we went up Big Cottonwood Canyon, and saw some ski resorts, then we found the guardsman's pass, and decided to take it. Wow it was so beautiful! we got to the top where we could see The Heber Valley, and on the other side the SL valley. we went down this steep Dirt road and went all the way to Heber, , looked at the Heber Valley Railroad and finally we made our way down Provo canyon, and went home. It was really such a beautiful drive.

Sept 5 2009, Utah lake

2009-09-13T11:56:00.000-07:00

Saturday before Labor Day, we decided to go to Utah Lake, and show Gain the fun. We rented a sea doo, and a tube to pull behind it. and also a paddle boat. First Glenn took Gain on the back and James rode the tube. while River and I paddled on the paddle boat. Then when they came back, James got in the paddle boat with river and I climbed on the sea doo. and took Glenn in the tube. We were having a grand old time, until I noticed Glenn holding his hat and glasses for dear life. so i stopped took them from him. This is when all heck broke loose ha ha. Glenn fell off the tube, and tried to climb back in, to no avail. so he decided to get on the jet ski, and jump in, suddenly he totally tipped us over!! Gain is really afraid of the water too. he was wearing Levis and a t shirt, and his camera was open! the camera didn't work anymore after that, but we were really struggling, so I climbed back on, and Glenn did too, and tipped us over AGAIN!!. Finally we all managed to climb on and I drove us in. When we got to the dock Glenn tried to get off the jet ski onto the dock and..... Tipped us over AGAIN!!! whew what a crazy time.

I also lost my favorite sunglasses somewhere in the Utah Lake :( but that's nothing compared to Gains Camera... sorry Gain ;)

First thing we did when we went to California was to visit Cindy, Glenn's favorite cousin. She was so nice and let us swim in her pool, well mostly in her hot tub because it was a little cold for the pool. She even made everyone some Quesadillas! she is very kind. Love you Cindy!

This is our new son "Gain" we are really excited to host an exchange student from Thailand next school year. He is so nice, we have been emailing, but he won't arrive until August!

2009-04-30T16:52:00.000-07:00

Don’t tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway-but the Hershey Man will know! YO UR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH
This is pretty neat.
DON’T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!It takes less than a minute .Work this out as you read .Be sure you don’t read the bottom until you’ve worked it out!This is not one of those waste of time things, it’s fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I’ll wait while you get the calculator

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 ..If you haven’t, add 1758.

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number

The first digit of this was your original number(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).

The next two numbers are
YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.chocolate Calculator.

Exchange Student

2009-04-30T15:15:00.000-07:00

Wow we were approved! we are going to host an exchange student next school year!! We are all excited, even he is, we got an email from him today. I can't even tell you his real name, but he goes by "Gain" That I can Say! So soon we'll have another son from Taiwan!! Hence my time clock on the side of my blog that's what time it is in Taiwan. Hopefully he'll let me post some pics of him on here... Stay tuned :)

Easter time.... How fun. I love, love, love Spring time! All the pretty colors, the warmer weather, and candy, yay!

Keyana Came down from Idaho with all her kids except Henrik, who had school responsibilities. We went to Thanksgiving Pointe for the Easter Eggstraviganza! it was actually quite chilly out but, it was still pretty fun. We arrived too late for the 0-3 year old Easter egg hunt. So we just sent River in with James during the 4-6 year old's. James carried Rivi's basket, and Riv picked up all his own eggs. it was funny, cuz he got lots of broken eggs with nothing inside, but the point is he had fun, and he did it all by himself. then the kids got their faces painted, did sidewalk chalk, and the kiddie train. The kids also ran a bouncy obstacle course, and stuff, it was really fun. Later we went to my parents house, and James and I hid eggs & had another easter egg hunt for River, Angela's kids, and Keyana's kids. that was funny Riv just ran around, he didn't care about eggs any more, but the rest of them got plenty of loot.

Yup So I finally did it.... I joined a gym it's Planet Fitness, and so far I really like it, $20/ month with free tanning, and massage chairs! http://www.planetfitness.com/ check it out. Hopefully I'll be hot, skinny, and tan soon.
their thing is, it's the "judgement free zone", they don't just cater to body builders and skinny chicks. I go when I'm finished with my bus run in the morning, and then I just shower and get ready there. works great for me. it's not busy when I go and there's fat people, ugly people, nerds. So shoot I fit right in :)

ok so here it is

2009-01-20T17:54:00.000-08:00

James' class Halloween party

2008-11-02T15:45:00.000-08:00

In the picture above, it looks like there was a real ghost in the room! check out those see through hands!!!

October 30, I went to James' 6Th grade class to help with their party. It was so much fun! I brought River, and all the girls wanted to hold him, unfortunately now he has a mind of his own and he wasn't having it. There were 4 mothers there, including myself, and we all had different "stations" I did a game where the kids had to eat 3 pieces of taffy with a pair of vampire fangs in their mouth. It was so funny to watch. The kids thought it would be easy but it was so hard for most of them. There was LOTS of drool involved, I even gagged just watching some of them. The mother that did the game with the kids eating donettes off strings just happened to have 2 left over. So I challenged Mrs. Hokanson (who just happens to have been my teacher when I was in 5Th grade, 20 years ago) to go against me. Little did she know I had a plan, those Hostess Donettes can fit into my mouth whole. so I just chomped it and ripped it off the string, it made her laugh so hard, she didn't even get a bite, all she got was a powder dabbed cheek. Lastly the whole class sat in a circle and played a game called. "trick or treat" they would draw out of a bucket a paper with either word on it. If they drew the word treat, they just got a treat, but if they drew the word trick they had to do something funny, almost like truth or dare. Some of the kids were so embarrassed, they refused to do their trick in front of the class. James' trick was to gallop around the room as the Headless Horseman. His friend had to Kiss his favorite GHOUL. He refused. There were 2 girls who had to "share a pair of bat wings" it was fruit leather, it was like Lady and the Tramp the spaghetti scene, so it looked like they were kissing.

It was really fun. I can't believe I forgot about Mrs. Hokanson's laugh, it's priceless. lol.

2008-10-28T09:59:00.000-07:00

It was so funny, my mom had 2 of her sisters over, naturally they were speaking Swedish, then Glenn immitated something they said. so they were trying to teach him the right way to say it. It means "Drunk Old Man" LOL

Pumpkin Patch

2008-10-26T17:17:00.000-07:00

Over the fall recess break, from School, Glenn wanted to take the kids to the pumpkin patch, and let them pick some pumpkins. This one we went to is great, it's a huge farm, We all had so much fun together.

Trunk-or-Treat

2008-10-25T18:16:00.000-07:00

Wow fun we had our annual Neighborhood Trunk-or-Treat/Chili cook-off yesterday! We really had a blast. We got decked out in costme, the kids went around the parking lot to people's trunks and got candy. Then we all went inside for chili, and other goodies. Someone even made turkey chili So Glenn and I had some. then there was a Witch cackling contest, and doughnut eating contest too, but the doughnuts were hanging from the ceiling on the stage and the contestants could not use their hands. So funny. My Grandma who is here from Sweden even came, it was her first Halloween, and I think she even had a great time.

Party for Far Mor

2008-09-08T15:17:00.000-07:00

This pic is my immediate family, and their families. there are 8 people missing though. Tor, Keyana, Camille, Henrik, Bjorn, Samila, Ashton, And Tim

Saturday my family on my dad's side all got together for a party. My Far Mor (father's mother) is here from Sweden. It was really amazing to me that I rarely see most of these people, and we mostly all live within 30 min of echother. The last time I saw some of my cousins was at My wedding. And some it's been even longer. We just have a large family and since all of us cousins have grown up and gotten married, it's just too many poeple for a rgular get together anymore. But it was really nice to see everyone again though.

Pinewood Derby

2008-08-23T14:27:00.000-07:00

Thursday night we went to the Pinewood derby. the boys didn't have cars, but James had an old one with only 2 wheels. so there was a man there who brought his car from when he was a kid. he took 1 wheel off and gave it to James, and then let Ashton race his car. so both of our boys had 3 wheel cars! Ashton's actually won some races, but he had to send it down backwards. James' car lost every race. But they both got awards. James' was the sportiest looking car, and Ashton's was the most aerodynamic car.

River's birthday party

All who attended, Us, Angela, and her kids, mor mor and mor far, Andrea, Crystal, Grandma Higbee, And The Moons..

Ashton gave River a ball, and he Wrote, "Happy Birthday River, Have a Ball" it was so cute.

I love that pic with River's hand in the cake, I think it could win awards. Nice job Glenn!

James made the banner for River. and he made the R backwards on purpose, he said it's like the one in Toys R Us I thought that was cute.

Messy kids! how fun!

Grandma's house in LA

2008-08-23T12:40:00.000-07:00

River Took to Great Grandma Thomas Very quickly, and Great aunt Jan too they would sit there and just laugh at eachother, it was pretty funny.That is Aunt Jan giving him a drink from the sippy cup.

Now the grass is greener....

2008-08-18T14:24:00.000-07:00

How cute, this afternoon my Dad, uncle Kim, Glenn, and the boys, Ashton, and James layed some sod in my parents back yard. The boys really did such a great job. Now Mormor and Morfar (grandma and grandpa in Swedish) finally have some green grass on their side of the fence.

My love

Look @ my cute hubby, and my chubby bubby baby, snoozing away the afternoon. I just adore them!

I really don't deserve such a wonderful man, he is so absolutely perfect. Oh words cannot describe how much I love and appreciate him!

this is crazy

Flying to LA. River's first flight!

2008-08-09T11:21:00.000-07:00

River's first flight to LA. He did so great. He was so funny. Sitting there with the lap belt across his lap. He only started to get frustrated when we started to descend, understandably, our ears were popping like crazy, so I'm sure his ears were hurting too.

Go go go go

2008-08-04T09:55:00.000-07:00

I don't have any pics or videos for this one, but it's so cute I had to blog it. about 2 weeks ago we went swimming @ rec center in American Fork. afterward the boys were racing on the track inside, so I said "Ready...GO" and River started saying "Go go go go go" so now that he can walk, I'll hear him walking around the house, saying go go go go go, all the way, it's just way too cute! I just love my little squishy baby Rivey.....

June 2008, Lake Tahoe Trip

2008-08-03T18:09:00.000-07:00

Hi I just found the pictures from our Lake Tahoe vacation in June. We saw a total of 5 bears while we were there, two of which were cubs with their mama, they were lounging in a tree so cute, but a little hard to see in the pic so click on it and look @ the big pic, so you can see all 3 of them. We also had such a huge bath tub with jets in our master bedroom, that was my FAVORITE! so when you put bubbles in or even just shampoo your hair, it foamed up so HUGE, it was hilarious, you'll see pics of River enjoying the bubbles. We did a "cruise" it took a couple of hours to The Emerald Bay, Where we saw the Vikingsholm Castle, and a tea hut on a tiny rock island, in the bay. The boys and Glenn went Hoarse back riding. And for James 11Th B-day, I took him para-sailing, but I've already blogged that one...

Boondocks fun

2008-07-28T12:44:00.000-07:00

Saturday we decided to take the boys to Boondocks for some fun. It was pretty cool, they did Laser tag, drove race cars, played video games, took the baby into the Kiddie Cove, and we all played some mini golf. Holy cow it was so hot that day! then out of the blue it started pouring rain..... Where did that come from? Well we got a great rainbow pic. Then all of a sudden, someone came up to me and said, "HI Jenny" It was Konrad Kelson!! James' cousin from Las Vegas! and his uncles, Robby and Danny Robbins! Pretty cool that we got to see them, we didn't even know Konrad was in town!

Haha I know the stupid video wouldn't upload onto blogger... so I added a video bar on the side. from youtube, those are mine I'm "yumpinyennifermommy" on youtube, any way that video is the one on top. double click it or else it will open underneath the blogger one, and you can't see it, But if you double click it, I believe it will open the youtube page go on give it a try:)

River walks!

2008-07-21T17:25:00.000-07:00

I caught Some of River's first few steps on video. This is so great, probably in a week or so we won't be able to keep up with him!

Donut Falls, Big Cottonwood Canyon

2008-07-20T17:05:00.000-07:00

Wow so cool! today we decided to take a picnic to the mountains. I thought Donut Falls would be a cool place to show Glenn and the boys, I haven't been since I was a teenager, WOW that hike was harder than I remember, in fact the last bit to the best part, we were literally rock climbing! we got so dirty and wet, but we all made it, except River of course, Glenn waited with him while I took the big boys up. Then I came down and told Glenn to go up there, and see it. He almost didn't go, he wasn't really interested. But he went and was so glad he did. Because it is truly majestic, and so totally awesome. We also saw a bull moose when we were driving up there so you'll see that too!

Breakfast

2008-07-16T11:10:00.000-07:00

This morning the boys surprised me when I came out of the shower. James and Ashton were cooking breakfast, James was teaching Ashton how to make scrambled eggs, and then they made some bacon (turkey bacon of course). It was really great to see them working together, laughing and having fun. And actually the egg sandwich they made me was delicious!

James later said that they really wanted to make some omelette's, but he didn't know how to make them. So I told them that tomorrow I will teach them how to make an omelet. Our boys are so great!

2008-07-14T20:47:00.000-07:00

Tonight we went on a bike ride to the park for "Family Night". We had a good time there but River was not fond of the trailer that he rides in. He screamed a lot. finally on the way home, I took him out and carried him on my shoulders for the last big hill, and Glenn pushed both of our bikes up the hill. He's my big strong Muscle man. Naturally there are no Photos with me in them because I'm taking all photos. But trust me, you're not missing much.

The boys making stories

2008-07-11T13:13:00.000-07:00

Our boys asked me if I would pay them $10 if they didn't watch TV or play video games for a whole week...I thought that was a fantastic Idea. They were so bored, a lot of the time, but sometimes I had fun ideas of things to do. we drew faces on their chins and they told stories. This one is the first video we made, and also the best. Enjoy! PS they ended up only doing 4 days instead, b/c James had to go to his dad's house.

2008-07-10T12:58:00.000-07:00

Indiana Jones Premiere. Thank goodness my parents got free Tickets, because it was sold out everywhere all weekend. Glenn looks so cute all dressed up like his Favorite character.

2008-07-10T12:55:00.000-07:00

OK so, this was when we got River a toy that he can walk with, it was new so he didn't know hot to let go when he fell, it's kinda funny. He does better with it now.

2008-07-10T11:34:00.000-07:00

So this is my favorite video so far, it's so cute!

Lake Tahoe para sailing

2008-07-07T15:27:00.000-07:00

Believe it or not, that is James and I para sailing over Lake Tahoe. It was so beautiful, and peaceful. This was his 11th birthday, what a treat!

2008-07-07T15:20:00.001-07:00

Ok Look I figured it out!! this was our fun picture, shooting the camera and each other. Notice, River has a gun too LOL!

2008-07-07T15:08:00.000-07:00

This was our "Old Tyme" photo from Lagoon, it looks way cooler in a sepia tone, but I am so retarded I can't change it...
