About Me and My Loves

About Me and My Loves
Howdy Y'all and Welcome! I have been married to my studly hubby for almost 5 years now; who is an energetic, outgoing, handyman helicopter pilot. We recently made our first big move cross country from Utah to Texas with our now 20mo. old "Rae of Sunshine" Azure. We love experiencing anything and everything and holding nothing back. We love dreaming and creating things of all kinds together. I hope that this blog will help our families back home keep up with our busy life, and maybe inspire some along the way...from family to home, money to food, holidays, travel, photography and crafts. this... this is my life!.... Enjoy.

Remember that song...

Isn't she beautiful, isn't she lovely, isn't she wonderful, the song goes something like that!

uh you know Kevin

Tiara and I were just thinking of Brian Regan tonight and just thought of our favorite quote from him.

"One of our activities was making bike ramps out in the street. Cuz that’s where all the cars are. Put a cement block out in the middle of the road and you angle a piece of wood up to it, and the object was for one kid to get on his bike, and ride as fast as he could and see how high he could go. And that’s as far as we planned. It wasn’t until the first kid was like flipping in the air, “What happens now?! We don’t know!”

He hit a mailbox. We had a bunch of nine-year-old paramedics running up–we didn’t know what to do. Get up there “Aaahhhrraaaah! Get some leaves!” (You do what you can.)

Hey that was the easy part. THe hard part was being the kid that got sent in first to calm mom down before you dragged in the actual banged up brother.

You’d have to be the point man, ya know, “Go tell mom.”
“Uh-Uh-no-no.”
“It’s your turn.”
“Uh”

So you’d have to run in, “Hey, hey mom, uh OK, uh, uh, everthing’s fine.”

Ya know she bought that–yeah.

“Everything’s fine, I just wanted run in, at full speed. And uh, ya know, say hi, and uh, and uh, OK, so . . . Oh! You know Kevin? Uh OK, of course, OK. Well ya know like how his right arm, usually, usually, it bends, usually it would bend like that? OK, it’s now bendin’ like that right now. And it’s no big deal cuz we already looked at it but we were thinkin’ since you said that you had to go get milk later, anyway. So we were thinkin since you had to go anyway, ANYWAY, then we were all thinkin’ if when you go, if you just might wanna take him to the hospital.”

“And if you get peanut butter, get SMOOTH!”"

Just enjoying the Reeder ranch!

Mothers day cake

My wife made this cute cake and I just had to take a picture and show off her talent! I love my wife and she is so amazing!

Sweet heli

Yesterday we had our open house at the heli school I work at. Tiara and I organized the event and worked our butts off and was rewarded with an awesome turn out. This is a picture of our heli that won the race against the motorcycle. What an awesome day. And I am so thankful for all my wifes support and help!

We took these pictures for Bretts mom for Mothers Day. I just wish I had a nice camera so that they weren't so low quality.

6 weeks of missing church...doesn't that put us on the inactive list?!

So We did our usual Sunday routine: slept in, relaxed, started getting ready for our 1:30 church time at 1:00, left at 1:26... but when we pulled into view the parking lot was EMPTY! Apparently it was stake conference today, and we were not aware of it. The last few weeks have been spent with families... the week before conference I don't remember why we missed but we did, then General Conference, Easter, My little brothers farewell, his farewell in our home ward in Hooper... and now this week. And next week is Mothers Day. I think people have started to think that we have moved because they have stopped trying to contact us. ;)
