Well, I have been a loser and haven't posted in like 5 months. Sorry. But I am back now, and ready to post! We have been moving from Cali to Utah, so I haven't been taking very many pictures. But here are a few miscellaneous pics from the past few months.

Ryan's Wedding

2009-03-17T18:02:00.000-07:00

My brother Ryan just got married on the 14th, and we were able to spend the weekend down in Santa Clarita to celebrate! My Aunt Linda and Uncle Steve live in a beautiful home right on a duck pond/lake. They threw Amanda, my brother's new wife, a bridal shower there. It was so fun, and the boys were able to feed the ducks!

The shower was so much fun! It was good to see some old friends...

Thanks Ryan and Pat for watching the boys for me!

The beautiful bride!

They definately scored! Ka-ching!

My friend Rachel Gibson and I. Also known as "the Rachies" back in highschool...

Giggle Videos

2009-03-01T19:34:00.000-08:00

Here are a couple of videos to make you giggle. Well, the first one is more sad than funny, but I laughed a little. Just wish I could've gotten the fall @ the end, but I was too concerned with Jake so I put my camera down. Anyway, ENJOY!

Laytons and Snow

2009-03-01T19:19:00.000-08:00

We had our good friends the Laytons over for the weekend this month and we had sooo much fun! The kids had a blast playing together. Jake and Jane make the perfect playmates!

Jake, Jane, Dylan, and Sadie.

Here is a fun little action shot of Jake riding the long board...

and Dylan...

Thanks for coming you guys! It was a blast!

A few days ago we also got to go to the snow with some friends. Dylan was sick, so this is what he did most of the time.

Some sledding fun...

I'm not sure if Jake really enjoyed sledding all that much. But at least he did it!

Peace for Little Boys

2009-02-13T13:39:00.000-08:00

DJ's dad, Richard Radmacher, is a very talented musician. He wrote a song called "Peace for Little Boys" and it is finally posted on You Tube. We really want to get the song out there, so check it out! Oh, and yes, Jake is in the video. He is the boy praying and the one running in the beach.

Bye Bye, Toenail

2009-02-07T08:23:00.000-08:00

WARNING: THESE PICTURES MAY BE DISTURBING!

My poor Jake. Thursday night he dropped a big can on his toe. It was so sad, but he was very brave. He had a hard time walking yesterday, but today he is doing much better. He may have even broken his toe, but it is healing quick.

Bye toenail, you served us well!

2009-01-29T10:15:00.000-08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DYLAN!

Dylan is one! I can't believe it, time really does fly...

My parents came down for Dylan's birthday and spent the weekend here. We had a really good time. We went to the zoo, shopped, and just played! My sister Rebecca, her husband Chris, and their little girl Claire came down too. The boys were so happy to have their cousin at their house.

My dad and Dylan.

The boys love their dad!

Little Claire bear. She is such a doll!

Jake is my little monkey man.

My mom got lost behind the leaf... Sorry!

My mom and Jake.

My mom, Dylan, and Claire.

That evening we had a little party for Dylan. The Weibells got a new puppy! So cute! I want one...

DJ's mom and dad. Poor Ma, she slipped on OUR driveway and broke her knee cap. I feel guilty.

I knew that Dylan would have no hesitation with the cake. He dug right in and started flinging it everywhere. Gross, but fun!

R.I.P. Mia

2009-01-20T20:58:00.000-08:00

Many of you know that I had a little girl once. Her name was Mia, and she was the most beautiful little dachshund ever born. Her life was cut short by a coyote when she was just 2 years old. Ever since then I have had a serious vendetta against them. So when DJ started talking about buying a gun (I am not much of a gun person), the only way he was able to talk me into it was when he said that he was going to avenge Mia's death with it.

I can't believe that he actually did! It may not be the one that took Mia from me, but any coyote will do. This one was just lurking around DJ's sister's house at about 9:30am. So, DJ grabbed his gun, tracked it down and shot it!

Heidi's boys were pretty excited to see it hanging from the tree in the front yard when they came home from school.

So much for the coyotes living far far away in Texas! (Jake is terrified of coyotes for some reason, so in order to assure him that they couldn't get him we told him that they lived far far away in Texas. I guess the truth is out!)

Family Pics

2009-01-08T19:17:00.000-08:00

In November we went to visit DJ's brother David and his wife Julie. Julie is excellent with her camera, so we asked her if she would take some family pics for us. I didn't want to post these pictures until after Christmas because I made my mom a calender and I didn't want to spoil the surprise! So here are a few of my favorites... Thanks again Julie, you did an amazing job!

Christmas Morning

2009-01-04T16:02:00.000-08:00

Christmas was great. We kind of over did it with the presents, but it was fun.

Jake, Dylan, Kayden, Scottie, and Claire.

Santa got Dylan a walker for Christmas. He loves it!

Jake got a set of "real guns." That's what he told Santa that he wanted. He is a bit obsessed.

Grandma got the boys a tractor w/ trailer. So cute! They love it!

Christmas Eve Morning

2009-01-04T15:35:00.000-08:00

Christmas eve was so much fun! DJ found a perfect spot right outside my parent's house to go sledding. This is DJ...

This is a picture of DJ and Dylan.

Poor Dylie...

This is a picture of DJ and Jake. You can't really tell, but Jake is actually sitting on DJ's lap, under all that snow.

Poor Jakie...

This is my mom and my neice Kayden.

Alpine, UT was really beautiful that day.

My brother RJ and his daughter Kayden.

My brother-in-law Chris and his daughter, Claire.

Dylie!

Jakie!

More Utah

2008-12-23T08:59:00.000-08:00

We visited our good friends Danny and Jen, and their boys Zach and Lucas. We had a great time! But Jake had more fun than anyone esle. He and Zach are such good little buddies! They played so well together. Here is a picture of the two of them. They loved wearing these helmets! It was so cute!

Jake...

Zach... He is such a cutie...

We went to Chuck-e-Cheese for my neice Kayden's birthday. The kids had so much fun! Dylan's favorite thing to do is get behind the steering wheel to play.

That is one happy face Jake!

Jake and his Uncle Ryan doing Jake's favorite thing... Shooting guns. What a boy...

So cute...

Happy Birthday

2008-12-20T20:12:00.000-08:00

So, for Kayden and Claire's birthdays I made them tutus. Claire was so funny, she was dancing and shakin' her booty once we put it on. She loved it!

Kayden liked hers too, but I think she liked the wand that I made her more.

This is a picture of Kayden's birthday party. I don't think that Randi knows how to put down her cell phone. All she does is text text text!

That is my dad. Hmmm...

Jake and his Daddy.

Oh Christmas Tree

2008-12-20T20:01:00.001-08:00

We went down to Thanksgiving Point to buy a Christmas tree, and while we were there we drove through the festival of lights. Jake loved it!

This is Randi and her boyfriend Oakley. He is a nice guy.

Here is a picture of Rebecca and Chris with their baby Claire. RJ and Kellie came too, but for some reason I didn't get a picture of them...

These two are soooo much fun! They love playing together...

While we were there we got to see some of Santa's reindeer. Jake thought that was pretty cool...

Ryan, his girlfriend Amanda, and Jake.

Merry Christmas

Tub

2008-12-05T19:50:00.000-08:00

My sister-in-law Kellie introduced me to this fun little thing called Fizzy Tub Colors. It just turns the tub water colors, and Jake loves it. But today when Jake asked to pick out the colors himself, I dropped the whole thing in by accident. This picture doesn't even show just how grose the water was. It was literally black! The kiddies thought it was pretty funny.

Dylan

2008-11-22T22:02:00.000-08:00

This is, by far, my favorite video of Dylan. He is having a pretty intense conversation with the camera. I just had to post it!

Twilight Premiere

2008-11-21T17:05:00.000-08:00

So first I want to say that I am not much of a critic when it comes to movies. There are very few movies that I really don't like. Having said that, I LOVED Twilight. It was fun to watch, and I think that they did an excellent job with the cast. Jasper, surprisingly, was my favorite! Bella was my least favorite, but I still liked her. For those of you who haven't seen it yet, I wont say anything more. Just don't forget that it is a movie BASED on the book. Here is the group that I went to the midnight showing with. We had so much fun!

Diane and I showed up at 3:30pm to wait in the line so we could get good seats. Diane is a trooper, she is 7 months prego!

This is my sister-in-law Heidi. She is AWESOME!

This is my super cool Twilight hoodie. If you can't tell, it says "Are you Afraid?"

So, are you?

This was the first midnight premiere I have ever been to, and the last. It was so much fun, but it was stressful! I didn't get home until 3:ooam! When your babes wake up at 6:30am, it's just not a good idea. But I am so glad I did go, and I had a blast!

The Coast Again

2008-11-18T09:33:00.000-08:00

DJ and I took the kids down to the coast (again) this weekend and we had a blast. We love visiting David and Julie! Everytime we go we love it. The first night we were there we went to sushi. The waitor made Jake some chopsticks he could use, and he actually did a really good job with them!

We spent a couple of the days fishing on our boat. Surprisingly, it was really hot! We all caught fish, and our friend Tyler Wilson caught the biggest one of us all!

The last day we were there we went to the beach. The kids had a great time!

Dylan probably had the most fun of us all... He LOVED getting dirty!

Just before we left, Jake got knocked down by a wave. It was hillarious! I thought for sure that he would cry, but he thought it was fun!

The beach was the coolest beach I have ever been to. There were caves all over the place.

We took family pictures later that evening, but those are yet to come...

Grandma's Boy

2008-11-12T19:37:00.000-08:00

This is just a quick little video for Grandma. He has a hard time with leaving messages because he wants to be able to talk to her! So in this video, he was frustrated by the end because he didn't understand why he couldn't see her.

Can't wait

2008-11-09T15:00:00.000-08:00

I know that we still have Thanksgiving coming, but I couldn't resist. For some reason I am so excited about Christmas this year! I just can't wait! So for those of you who feel the same way, here is a little "Christmas spirit" video that I absolutely love!
Happy Holidays!

Halloween

2008-11-01T10:45:00.000-07:00

Hope you all had a happy Halloween!

We had a great time! We went to our ward party and then trick or treating through our neighborhood with friends. Dylan was a tiger...

And Jake was his trainer.

But my sister-in-law definately took the cake this year. Her boys were "Globe Trotters". It was so cute, they won best costumes at their school.

Twilight tickets

2008-10-29T15:31:00.000-07:00

I have my tickets for the midnight showing of Twilight... Do you?

Dylan is such an explorer, he always finds the things that I wish he wouldn't. This is him looking for goodies to eat under the stove. Yeay.

DJ took Jake for an evening of fishing with his cousin Matthew last week. Here is a quick pic of it!

DJ's Birthday

2008-10-27T12:29:00.000-07:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DJ!

It's DJ's birthday today, we love ya DJ, hope you have a great birthday babe!

2008-10-21T17:07:00.000-07:00

This is so awesome! Compliments of Julie...

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great
importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be
sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and
appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

Disneyland

2008-10-21T15:36:00.000-07:00

I haven't been around my computer for a few weeks... the boys and I went to Utah and Disneyland. So sorry for all the posts in one day, but be sure to check out the others!

Those of you who know me pretty well probably know that Disneyland is my "happy place". I love it, so I was so excited to be able to go with some of my family last weekend. Unfortunately, Jake ended up having an allergic reaction to the sunblock he had on. So we had to go back to the hotel for a while to give him a bath and let him rest. It put a damper in the day: Jake didn't feel very well. But we were able to return for the parade. All in all it was a good day and Jake still talks about how much he loved it.

Utah Trip

2008-10-21T14:59:00.000-07:00

I took the boys for up to Utah for the week and spent some time with the family. It was great to get to see everyone, we miss them so much! While we were there we went to Cornbellys. Here are some of the pictures.

Jake was so afraid of the monster-scare house! It was hilarious!

Dylan didn't even notice it...

All of the Spiker family babies. This was a hard picture to take!

I love bath pictures, they are so fun!

While we were in Utah we went to this place called Jumpin' Jacks! It is so cool, there are like 8 different blow-up slides that the kids get to play on. Jake loved it! I couldn't believe how brave he was, he didn't even want me to go down with him!

Here is Kayden going down... She prefered to go on her tummy...

San Luis

2008-10-21T14:16:00.000-07:00

We spent the weekend in San Luis with DJ's brother David and his family Julie, Jonah and Jaxson. We had such a fun time!

We went to Avala Beach and walked on the pier...

It was so good to spend time with them! Can't wait to go back!

Dylan's Crawling

2008-09-27T11:17:00.000-07:00

As of a few days ago, Dylan is officially crawling! It's so cute, here are a couple clips of it...

The house

2008-09-23T14:03:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I have had a few different people ask me for pictures of our home, so I finally decided to take some and post them. So... This is our house!

Here is the living room... can you see Jake?

The giant TV was DJ's idea, although I can't complain...

I love my kitchen, I have a ton of cabinet space!

We have been using this room as a guest room, but this is going to be Dylan's room pretty soon. That is who I painted it for...

This is Jake's room.

The guest bathroom...

And the guest room. This was the first room that I put together so that the family would come and visit.

Jake's Birthday Party

2008-09-17T17:59:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, the 16th of September, was Jake's birthday. We threw him a fishy birthday party with some of his cousins. It was alot of fun! Jake walked around all day singing "Happy birthday to me." It was hilarious! Here are some pictures of the event...

Dylan was a little overwhelmed by the whole scene, but I think that he had fun. I barely saw him the whole time, poor kid. I was so busy!

Mmmmm... watermelon is very popular amongst the Radmachers...

Here is a picture of Jake with a couple of Heidi's kids, Landon and Matthew. Jake calls them "his boys." He loves hangin' out with them!

We set up a little ~pond~ for the kid's to fish out of. I sat inside of it and let them "catch" toys and candy. It was soooo hot in there! But worth it, the kids thought it was pretty cool.

Of course, there was a pinata! Jake was so ready to eat his candy that he hadn't even taken the wrapper off before he stuck it in his mouth!

At the end of the day, we all sang him Happy Birthday. He was so tired that when we all started singing he turned shy and wouldn't even look at his birthday cake. As soon as we let his cousins blow the candle out, he got over it and wanted to do it himself. All in all it was a good time! Wish you were there, mom and dad!

Dillie-Boo

2008-08-20T19:53:00.000-07:00

Little Dylan is so cute... This is the favorite time of the day: taking a bath. He freaks out everytime I take him out!

DJ's Fishing Trip

2008-08-18T14:17:00.000-07:00

DJ took a 3-day fishing trip with his friend John a couple weeks ago. They backpacked through the Kings River and he says that he had a blast. They caught a lot of fish, which is a good thing because that was their food source. DJ said that he ate more fish in those few days then he has in the last 5 years. They did a lot of floating down rapids, which resulted in these losses...

His watch that we bought a couple days before the trip.

His hat.

His rod (well, it broke so I count that as a loss)

While he was drifting down the river, his shorts got caught on a rock a ripped them right up the back (good thing he had speedos on, otherwise John would have had to see things that I don't think he would have wanted to)

But aside from the losses we took, he said that he got his feeling of manliness back which apparently he felt was missing. I guess watching sports isn't enough. He is trying to talk me into going on a camping trip in a few weeks. And I have a feeling that he isn't going to let me get out of it. Yeay. I'm sure it will be fun.

Newport

2008-08-18T13:49:00.000-07:00

Jake is like a little sand crab... He loves getting dirty!

So we just got back from Newport Beach, it was so much fun to see everyone! We miss our family so much! Jake is like a little sand crab, he had so much fun!

Jasper Cullen

2008-08-18T13:13:00.000-07:00

We have a new addition to our family. His name is Jasper (inspired by Twilight) and he is an english bulldog. Such a cutie! He is so good with the boys. Dylan thinks that he is the greatest thing in the world!

Our first blog

2008-08-18T12:51:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone! We finally have a blog! So exciting, hopefully I can keep it up! Well here are some recent pitures of our little family. Our boys are getting bigger by the day! My tub-o-chunk Dylan weighs 20 lbs. now. And having a conversation with Jake is like talking to a 3 year old.
