Our New Puppy!!!

Our New Puppy!!!

I know, I'm sucker! We have officially tried another dog. But I must admit that Buddy is the cutest dog ever! He is a Maltipoo and is supposed to be good for the allergies-but we will see... :) Here you can see the whole family on the floor just loving him. Training is going well, but definitely takes a full time effort! He has just been so fun for our family- but the Rob is the biggest "softy" of us all! He will hold and talk to him all day long, and then bad-talk him for being a "rat dog" the next minute. All of the kids argue who gets to read to him, do homework with him, and here Alyson wins and is doing homework with him on her lap. What a kick in the pants! :)

End of the Soccer season and Tanner's Prom!

Conference Weekend

For this last weekend the Jorgensens came to visit us and see General Conference. We watched conference at Grandma Gibson's house and had a wonderful turkey sandwich lunch during the time between the first and second session. We also had a fun easter egg hunt out in Grandma's backyard. All of the kids loved it.:)

After the Saturday session Alyson, Cosi, Megan, and Kristy went with Aunt Heidi to find costumes for the play Megan is in. (Singing in the Rain) They went to a couple of DI stores and found some awesome costumes. The one that Alyson is displaying will be worn by the character Lina Lamont. Heidi has worked so hard with the costumes for this play! Good Job!:)

 THANKS FOR VISITING US GUYS!:)

And of course our three days of perfect sun had to be covered up with snow, hail, and rain.:( 

But hey, that's Utah!

We also had some BYU students that used to be in our ward when we lived in California come over for dinner on Sunday night. It was fun to see them again and bring back some great memories from California. Tommy and Alyson were in charge of dessert. They made chocolate cake and responsibly cleaned up by licking the bowl.:)

Fun Times:)

Here are some of our main high lights of the couple last weeks.

 *We don't have a pic. of him playing withe them yet, but Tanner made the Timpanogos JV soccer team! GREAT JOB TANNER:)

*Tanner also did his eagle project last Saturday. He collected books to don

ate. 

Max and Tom have been into the regular; army men, Nerf guns, and dressing up their "really soft puppy" stuffed animals and throwing them off the stairs. 

On Saturday Cosi, Alyson, and our friend Belle dressed up in super hero capes and jumped around the house and the back yard. It was really fun.:) 

Cosi just learned how to do a brake dancing move. Oh ya!

just an update!

First of all, we went to Las Vegas over Martin Luther King Junior week end! We went to lots of parks and had fun playing tennis, climing around on the play grounds, and taking tons of pictures! First we went to St. George for one of dad's meetings, but then we drove to Las Vegas and had a great time! Thanks guys!:)


Tanner had his first date dance (Preference) last Saturday! Doesn't he look nice in his new suit!
Last Sunday we had a nice dinner at Cheri's house with Grandma. It was lots of fun, and the food was great! Thanks!

It snowed again today! As Max and Tom were jumping on the tramp they discovered a whole ice rink! It's like an one and a half inches thick to they have been out there having lots of fun!:)

And here is a GIANT THANK YOU to Dad and Tanner for shoveling our driveway and steps!:)

update soon coming!

sorry guys an update is soon coming!!!

Max and Tommy's Teeth!

This break has brought some interesting teeth experiences for "the boys"...

Tommy has the happier story of the two. He lost his Left front tooth on Christmas Eve and was singing "All I want for Christmas was my two front teeth" the rest of the night. Way to go Tom:)

Here is Max. He was playing football with the other boy cousins when somebody tackled him onto the tile, head first. His tooth cracked almost in half and the bottom piece shattered. We could only find small pieces of it on the tile floor. :(

Its been an interesting break...

We have had all of the family visiting from all over the place! It was fun to see everyone and do various activities with each other! There was only one down part... we had a sickness sweep throughout the whole trip. I think that we had around 26 people infected in all. :( By the end we had gone through the common routine of "i need the bucket" about 100 times. (And I think we can all agree that we know how to be a "germaphobe"). But despite all of the sickness, we were so happy that everyone put in the effort to come and visit us! Thanks guys! Get well soon!:)

The funniest picture i've ever taken of a dog!

Hey everyone! This is Alyson:) I was sitting on the ground watching/taking pictures of Tom and Max's last lacrosse game when a dog came up right next to my face. I just took a picture of him quick, which i think must have surprised him or something cuz of the face he made. It was so funny! (sorry 'bout the bottom of the pic. i don't know what happened when i loaded it!)

Alyson goes to the space center!

Last Friday night my friend Sarah and I went to The Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center
(or the space center for short:). It's name makes it sound like some kind of place where you take classes on space, but it is totally different. You get to go on these "space ships" that are basically a big room with lots of computers that are designed for different jobs. (engineer, security, comunications officer, captan, and many others depending on the ship) The ships look real and the situations that they put you in seem just as real, even though you have alien or other life forms that are trying to kill you or come on your ship. It is hard to explain how much fun it is. You kind of have to be there and experience it.

The mission I did on Friday was about 6 hours. I was the engineer and had to crawl into this tiny hole that led to a small closrofobic room. ( if you look on there website there is a video of one of the missions and if you look to the back of the space ship you can kind of see the hole.) Anyways, in this small, tight room there were trap doors that intruders came in through to kill us. It was a hard and stressful job, espeshially when the lights went out and I had to plug things in, take chips in and out of holes, and yell orders to others while only useing a teeny flash light.
Here is the web site for this place if you want to see pictures and find out more if your confused.-http://spacecamputah.org/

Good Times with the Cranes!!!:)

It seemed like just yesterday. The girls were skating on the wood floor, the boys were playing video games all day, and the adults were having fun exercising and having fun talking. Now were going to party at the Cranes new house. Those were good times. We are all so excited! We love the Cranes!!!!!

Tommy!!!!!

Go BYU!!!!!

Tommy loves the computer. He's constantly on it. If you have noticed, he's made comments on your blogs-- all by himself! As you can see, he can get a little crazy. On Saturday Tom and Dad (Rob) went to the football game. BYU won 41-17 and wasted the other team.
We love Tom!
