Fitzgerald Family Campout

What a handsome, rugged, intelligent, stylish man.

Preston's chipmunk face.

Another silly face by Presto.

Preston didn't let anyone sit in "his chair"

Casey casually told him it was his, but he

took it very literally. It was pretty funny.

Dinner time.

Grammy collecting rocks for Hayden to throw in the stream.

I want to squish that bug with my bare finger. I have no fear.

Blue is my color isn't it?

I'm training to join the circus

Peggy, Kendra, Taylor, Carly, as well as Casey, Preston, Hayden, and I had a fun little camp out up in the canyons. It was nice to go on a camping trip and not be pregnant (like I was the first two summers). The boys were old enough to have a good time getting dirty and wet. That's what the outdoors are all about! Very fun overnighter!

Let's have a Potty Party

These are pictures from Preston's Potty Party this last summer. It was actually a blast even though it was tiring to freak out every two minutes, when he went to the bathroom. I stand by Dr. Phil's method though. Preston had a few accidents for about two weeks, and has been great ever since.

In case you're wondering why I have a picture of the potty doll I used, it's because Preston decided to name him Hayden. It got a little confusing with the technique Dr. Phil uses, but apparently it worked anyway. Potty training actually wasn't that bad-knock on wood.

A Glimpse of Zion

What a stud! Hiking the Narrows

was tough on the feet, but alluring to the eyes.

Especially with Casey around.

Presenting. . . THE NARROWS like I said before

On top of Angel's Landing.

What was I doing that close to the edge?

I swear the elevation kills brain cells.

Angel's Landing is right behind us.

Looks small doesn't it? It isn't.

Observation Point.

a.k.a. point of exhaustion.

Over three hours round trip.

We took this vacation the second week of July for about three days, and did several hikes. It was nice be able to spend so much time with Casey, and to see some amazing sights. We'll definitely be back.

Tiling Job

I just wanted to upload pictures of Casey and Michael's fantastic tiling job. Casey never ceases to impress me. This particular job was done for my parent's new ikea kitchen just before Michael left on his mission. I love that they're such good buddies.

Social Interaction

It was about time for Casey and I to get our act together and do something with other people! Elyse, Steve, Chad and LaRisa came over last night to make homemade pizzas and do a murder mystery. It was fun and funny! It reminded me of how much I enjoyed acting-even though I'm not much good at it. There's really no tale to tell, but it was exciting to hear that my Best Friend is having a baby! She told me that she feels well so far, and I'm glad for that! Babies bring so much joy into the world. I feel very fortunate to be a mother myself. Anyway, everything could've gone wrong that night and I still would've walked away happy because of the great news! I love you, Elyse!

Little Puppies

The boys and I like to pretend we're doggies :)

It's really easy. Just fill a couple of bowls with

water, pant like a dog, and say (barkingly)

"Let's go eat some food". Then get down on all

fours and scamper into the kitchen where cleaning

up spilt water is a breeze! I love my little puppies!

She's my Sister, I love my Sister

Just a couple of hot girls having a sister-date!

December 19th we marked our calendars,

and on that day we saw "Seven Pounds",

ate at the Training Table, and did a little shopping.

It was a really great day spending time

with my BFFL! I feel lucky to have

such a good relationship with my sis.

She really is awesome!

Bonnie & Clyde

My little partners in crime! They're starting to

work together in their naughty adventures.

Usually I'll try to catch it on camera like these

pictures of them smashing crackers everywhere.

But there was one time when Preston was taking off

his diaper to go potty, but had already gone poop.

It was a big mess, so I was trying to clean him up.

As I did this Hayden started for the deserted diaper!

I washed his hands three times then had

Casey lather him with hand sanitizer.

I was too grossed out to get a picture of that one,

but they certainly give me great stories to tell ;)

Graduation November 2008

Isn't it true, what they say about a man in uniform?

The evidence is right here! What an awesome day!

Casey worked very hard to get here.

Enduring pepper spray, being tasered, learning the law,

and gruelling physical training.

He ended up ranking Number 5, and I couldn't be prouder.

Those in attendance were:

Ken, Peggy, Myself, Preston,

Jill, Vic, Matthew, and Michael

Afterwards we ate at Cafe Rio-

Thank you Steiners and Fitzgeralds!!!

Halloweentime

Grandma Steiner, Me, Hayden, Grandma Inge,

Abbyanne, Preston, Madison

Hayden does not want to be in this costume anymore!

(My mom, Mattew, and Michael worked @

a Halloween store-when they saw the Monkey

costume they knew he had to have it)

Hayden-Carebear

Maegan-White Ninja

Casey-Himself

Liberty Park Date

Preston is amazed by the contraption known

as a spray bottle!

Preston loved splashing in the puddles. . . .

. . . and getting wet :)

What a sweetie! Hayden was content the whole afternoon.

This was one on my favorite dates ever!

We stopped at a store and got food

(sushi, strawberries, chicken, & bread for the ducks)

We waded in the little gutters, and just had fun

watching Preston with the ducks.

It was simply a perfect day.

Playdough

I love how willing Preston and Hayden are

to let me do whatever I want! Ha ha ha!

We should sue the Dr. that did our nose jobs!

I don't think we'll ever be the same :)

These pictures were taken in October,

but I'm doing a little catch up.

Yeah, we have a lot of fun.
