Weber State Football Game

2008-11-01T22:34:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun at the game. Weber is trying for a spot in the big sky championship. We went with some friends and cheered our team on. They are having a great year and were hoping it keeps getting better.

Go Weber go! Sadie had so much fun cheering for the team and being part of the crowed. I think I am in trouble with these two they love watching sporting events.

Brings back Memories of when Jeff was in ROTC and had to do push ups for each touchdown

WE WON!!! Sadie was soo excited and I thought this picture explains it all. PURE HAPPINESS

halloween 2008

2008-10-31T22:13:00.000-07:00

We had a great Halloween this year and the kids had a great time trick or treating with my mom, Kelly, and Me.

It stayed pretty warm and only sprinkled a little. We followed tradition and went through my old neighborhood. Sadie got really good at saying ribbit ribbit it was sooo cute!

Getting ready to go!
Mom was a Tree. What a great tree she made she was a good sport this year.

lagoon one last time for the season!

2008-10-26T19:44:00.000-07:00

We had the most wonderful day at Frightmares with my Dad and our friend Boe's Family.

Riding the rides and going through the Haunted houses.

Sadie did so well in them was hardly scared at all

Here we are going on the Ladybug Bop ride. The kids LOVED it. It was the first time Sadie was tall enough to ride and Brayden was tall enough to ride by himself so it worked out wonderful. We rode a couple times in a row until I started getting sick.

Brayden loved going on the go carts with my dad they had so much fun in between the stops.

Sadie's favorite ride! We cannot ever go to lagoon with out riding the space ships.

Jeff's off again

2008-09-11T11:13:00.000-07:00

Wow I can't believe that Jeff has been gone for 6 weeks already, Time is just flying past and he is so missed at home. Next week he takes off again for a fun filled drive from OK to VA. We all hope the drive will be easy and somewhat fun. Can't wait to see him in VA.

2008-09-07T06:34:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we went and got the kids birthday pictures taken and had so much fun. I can't believe how quickly they have grown this last year.

school days

2008-09-05T15:47:00.000-07:00

Brayden started Preschool this week and is just loving it. He told me last night school is the funnest thing ever! Lets see how he feels about it when he has been going a while.

I cannot believe that my little boy is old enough to be going to school I'm just glad his birthday wasn't any earlier or he would be in kindergarden which just scares me. I guess they have to grow up.

2008-08-08T20:16:00.000-07:00

Brayden & Sadie really liked watching the Olympics this evening. We watched all the way up to the part that they showed the athletes and then they were done. Brayden is excited to come home the next couple weeks and watch the games. This is what he says now but let's see what tomorrow brings. As we were watching the games this evening I couldn't help remember when Jeffrey and I were first married anf the Olympics were here. What a fun time we had sitting in Salt Lake City on Chairlift chairs watching the speed racing.

Buck has such a good sport sunday! As we cleaned up dinner the kids thought it would be fun to lay on him. They played like this for a long time and Buck just laid there we all had a great laugh and a great night together.

The boys bikes! I thought this was just priceless I thought it was so cute to see Brayden & Grandpa Armstrongs bikes together. One day just one day in the future maybe Brayden will have a motorcyle like Grandpa's

2008-08-03T17:23:00.000-07:00

This week was a hard week for our little family. On Wednesday I took the day off and helped Jeffrey get ready to leave on his Military training. That evening we took the kids to lagoon for one last family outing for a really long time. Thursday we all got up and the tears started flying as we all said our goodbyes and went our separate ways. It was a really sad day for all of us. Jeffrey made it to Oklahoma safely and we have only had a few hiccups as of now. We have kept ourselves busy throughout the weekend and have tried to have a good time without missing Jeff to much. Here we have the kids giving there last kisses to dad before he leaves. WE LOVE YOU!

Island Park

2008-07-24T04:30:00.000-07:00

On July 11th we met up at Island Park for a weekend of camping and having fun. I guess one last family camping trip for the year.

View From the River were Brayden and Jeff took the 4 wheeler and fished until Sadie and I got there.
The Scenery on our walk, it was so beautiful.
Garry, Jeff, Ryan, Emmy & Sadie going for a walk

Emmy, Brayden, and Brooklyn walking together. They seemed to really enjoy themselves. Brayden was keeping them safe as they picked flowers and walked on the road.

Sadie was so excited to go for a ride and just loved loved it. Thanks to Danny and his friends for letting us use the Jetski. I truley feel that we have a dare devil on our hands with her. Brayden held on for dear life while his sister drove.

2008-07-23T12:09:00.000-07:00

This month has been a busy busy time for our family. As we try to tie up the loose ends and finish up a few projects before Jeffrey leaves. As we are doing these projects we are making time to spend as a family. On the 11th we all met up to Island Park as a last family camping trip and had a great time. We spent a lot of it on the dock looking at the little fishes with Sadie. She just loved it.

4th of july

2008-07-06T10:33:00.000-07:00

We hope everyone had a great 4th of July! We sure did, it was a great weekend for just hanging out and keeping it low key.

We are walking to the Kaysville Parade all Brayden wants to do it get we from the watering truck.

Jeffrey and Sadie are waving to the Army trucks as they roll down the parade route.

Here we are waiting for the firework show to begin. We still are not sure if Sadie enjoyed them very much. She spent most of the evening on her grandpa's lap drinking his water.

Kerry and Sadie waiting for the show to begin.

Helping Dad

2008-07-03T11:42:00.000-07:00

These are from a few weeks ago. We were putting up a picket fence out front and the kids wanted to help their dad. They did such a good job and the fence looks great.

Brayden LOVES helping his dad build anything and really has been out big helper and is really learning how to use tools and what is what.

Anything Brother does Sadie has to do also. She would get upset when it was Brayden's turn and not hers. We sure love her

Jeffrey finally got smart and let them both help together, then there was no fighting as to whos turn it was to help their daddy.

The Shed

2008-07-03T08:50:00.000-07:00

Lets get started

Brayden was so excited when Jeffrey can home with a brand new hammer just his size. Now he can help.

This shed is tall

We're almost finished!

Thanks to my wonderful husband our yard is coming together and our new shed is finished and painted and I love it! He has saved us tons of money doing these projects himself. Next will be the sprinkler system. Also Thank you Garry for coming and helping us with this project.

Military Training

2008-06-04T10:49:00.000-07:00

Jeff will be leaving for some Military training August 1 and will be back December 17th. We are really excited that he will be home for most of the summer to finish up a few last projects and spend time with us as a family but sad that he will be missing the First Thanksgiving in Chris and Marcie's new home. At least he will be home before christmas.
We have just been trying to enjoy everyday we have left.

Disneyland

2008-05-29T14:27:00.000-07:00

Brayden Climbing the O of California. He would climb anything he could and we just kept telling him your high enough. He climbed this all by himself.

Here we all are on the day that we won Fastpasses. We spent most of this day going on all the rides that had fastpasses. We would show them our pass and get to the front of the lines it was great!

Sadie Jo and me having a great time together. She was happy like this most of the days and evenings and just wanted to run or be held by Jeffrey or my Dad. The only time she was not happy was when we got pictures taken with the Characters then she got scared. Maybe next time she will be better.

Here is a picture of Jeffrey, Brayden, my sister Kelly, and me on the Tower of Terror. As you can tell my sister really didn't enjoy it but Brayden oh that's a different story. He loved it so much as soon as the doors open he yelled "lets go again" and we did. We were all surprised that he would love it as much as he did. It was so great to watch! He will be my little rides buddy.

Here we are on our first day at Disneyland. this is right inside the front gates and at night there is a Tinker Bell that makes the garden glow it is really cute. At this point the kids didn't know how much fun they were going to have the next few days.

commisioning

2008-05-27T15:02:00.000-07:00

It was so great to have so many family members at Jeffreys commisioning at the begining of the month. It's so nice to know we are loved

May

2008-05-16T15:00:00.000-07:00

Life has been pretty busy in the Belton home this month with Jeffrey's Graduation and commissioning as an Officer into the Army, Sadie's Kidney infections and testing, and our amazing trip to Disneyland & Sea World. I feel like it has just been a world wind of a month.

I am so Proud of Jeffrey for Graduating from school with a degree in Automotive Technology and what an awesome experience to see him become an officer in the Army! I could not have been any more proud of him as I was up watching him take his Army oath to his Father, pinning on his Officer Bars with Brayden at my side or watching him give his 1st Salute as an officer. All of Jeffrey's family went in on a gift for him that he loves and treasures. It was a sword to go with his Military uniform.

2008-04-25T12:08:00.000-07:00

Here are some way cute pictures of our beautiful children.

Salt Lake City Marathon

2008-04-20T14:42:00.000-07:00

Jeffrey and his brother Ryan rode in the Salt Lake City Marathon yesterday and had a great time riding and talking. It started a 6:00 am at the University of Utah and winded 25 miles through out the city and ended at the Gateway. They finished around 7:30 They would have ended sooner but they stopped a couple of times to do their good deeds for the day. They stopped to help a gentleman that had a flat tire and again on the last stretch when a rider went down and they believe broke his shoulder. Jeff was a little irritated at the beginning because he forgot his new biking shoes so he had to ride in his tennis shoes. It was great to see them cross the finish line together, I almost missed it all and some great photos but with the help of Jeff yelling "Lense Cap" and our great new fast camera I didn't. We all had a great laugh and I believe are still laughing hopefully I won't forget in Disneyland.

Easter Sunday

2008-04-17T15:06:00.001-07:00

Sadie was so excited for this Tinkerbell Backpack. She wore it most of the day with such pride. She also would not let go of the Minnie Mouse Grandpa Armstrong picked up for her basket this year,

Here is a picture of the kids Easter baskets that have a Disney Theme. In May when Jeff Graduates from Weber we are taking the kids to Disneyland for 5 nights so everything revolved aroung things they could take and use on our trip.

Brayden and Sadie in their Easter Outfits.
