In Memory of G-pa Orton

Our G-pa( Jay Orton) passed away on Thursday. He is such a sweet G-pa & Great. He will be missed so much. We will miss what a loving person he was to everyone. We will miss him always being the entertainment to everyone that was around him. I always loved watching him entertain his Great-Grandchildren & how excited they would get watching him. He would always whistle. He would always find something to fix that was broken for you. He never liked to sit around, he liked to always stay busy. He was the best bike rider. He loved riding his bike. He was known as always taking his grandchildren & great- children on a bike ride. He was always a helpful person to G-ma. They were always helping each other. They both loved each other so much. He was always such a strong G-pa. He had a stroke & his body wasn't able to handle it anymore. He is in a better place, now. He can go back to having all his strength back in his body. We will miss him sooooo much. Thanks, for being such a perfect G-pa to all of us. We Love You so much.

Pine Valley

We went up to Pine Valley to stay in some cabins. They were cute little cabins. When you get your kids in them & your stuff. You fill a little stuffy in them. The kids loved them. Tayden fell off the bunk bed in the middle of the night & she had no idea what happened. We went to the cabin w/ my brother Jeremy & Brittany & her 2 little kids. Ryker wouldn't leave Macy alone. He kept thinking she was a baby. She is almost a year old. He just kept teasing her & she seemed to love it.


Tayden & Cutler played w/ Kameron (Jeremy's girlfriend's little girl). They had alot of fun the kids did playing around the cabin. It was cold up in Pine Valley at night. It rained alot but it was perfect weather in the day.

Lucy & Cutler just waiting to get some fish. It took awhile in the beginning but once the fish came they kept coming.


We went to Pine Valley Reservoir to go fishing. Eric, Shanel, & Lucy came up to go fishing w/ us. When we got there it didn't take long for Ryker to walk right into the lake. I took all his clothes off & put another outfit on him. He kept falling in the mud, so I took his clothes off & took him for a drive. I had to get this kid asleep. He had no clean clothes. We just can't take this kid w/ us, if we ever want to go fishing. He just wanted to play in the lake. Cutler caught some fish & Tayden did also. They were having so much fun. Dan didn't really get to go fishing cause he was to busy putting cheese on the poles. The fish just kept coming to fast. Jeremy & Brittany came & went fishing for a little while. I just stayed too busy w/ Ryker so the day just drove me nuts. While I was taking the pictures Ryker was eating dirt or bugs or playing in the mud..

Parades/ Soccer/ Party/ Rodeo

We went to the Children's parade on Friday. Cutler was begging me all week that his school was going to be in the parade. He wanted to be in it cause Tayden would be in it on Saturday. They had to either walk or ride their scooters in the parade. Cutler didn't want to walk. He wanted me to get him a scooter. He bugged me about that all week. I got him a scooter. I thought for sure he would crash in the parade. He did a good job riding the scooter. He ditched his sister in the parade. I took this cute picture of the family & I don't who the lady is sitting in the chair is(werid). On Saturday we had a soccer game for Cutler in the morning. After a party we went too.

We went over to Sand Hollow to Katelyn's B-Day Party. The kids went swiming for awhile w/ their cousins. Karsten took Ryker on the big slide & he loved it. Actually he didn't move or do anything. I just think he loved it. Happy Birthday Katelyn! Thanks for the fun party. Ryker was all over at the parade. He wanted to hang out in the road w/ everyone else that was in the parade. Thanks, Logan for taking care of our kid. You did such a good job gettng our kid out of the way of horses, cars, & bikes.



We went to the Rodeo parade to see Tayden. She was in it for her dance group. They were to decorate their bikes & ride them in the parade. She did a good job working on her bike. I just helped her a little. After the parade the kids got ready to go to the rodeo w/ their dad & cousins. Ryker was to much at the parade so he hung out w/ his mom. We were going to have a party but Ryker went to sleep & I cleaned the house. Fun..

Cutler's First Soccer Game/ Labor day...

This was Cutler's first soccer game. He did a really good job playing soccer. He got a goal & was so excited that he did a little victory dance. Dan is the coach & this team is a really good little team. They were all chasing the ball. This is going to be a really fun team. They ended up winning the game..

For our Labor Day weekend Ashish, Hannah & Caden came to visit. We went over to G-ma Hansen's house & hung out & had dinner. Hannah taught Tayden how to make a tutu. So she made herself a tutu. She did a really good job. We put the tutu on Ryker & Caden. Which boy do you think had fun wearing the tutu? We all were giving each other a hug & Hannah took this picture. I thought it was cute. Thanks Hannah!

Our Busy Weekend!

We decided that if we were going up north to my brother's wedding we should make it a vacation for the kids. My brother Josh,Dawn (girlfriend),Kenadee & Katelyn came up to go to Lagoon w/ us. We stayed w/ Ashish & Hannah(Dan's sister) at their house for the weekend. Hannah & Caden came w/ us to Lagoon also. We made sure to try & get them on all the rides so they would have a lot of fun. We really made the kids tired & they did a good job making us tired. We did have a lot of fun at Lagoon. Thanks Ashish & Hannah for letting us stay at your house, also for putting up w/ the kids & your brother.

We went up north to my brother's wedding. He was getting married to a Jamie in the Mt. Timpanogos temple. She is so dang cute. I'm so excited that they found each other. My dad sealed them & everything he said was so perfect. It is such a beautiful temple. Tayden w/ her cute cousins Katelyn, Kenadee, & Logan at the reception. Tayden w/ her great g-ma Judd & Orton. Dan had so much fun w/ Ryker at the reception up north & in St. George. He was everywhere & wanted to just leave & hang out in the parking lot. We just kept giving him sugar to keep him good but that didn't work.

We drove down to Paige to Jared's (Dan's brother) baby blessing. Makenzie is such a cute little baby. I just wanted to keep her & take her home w/ me. We hung out w/ the cute family on Sunday. Tayden & Cutler just loved playing w/ Zach , Zoe & Lucy. Ryker just kept thinking he could hold Makenzie & play w/ her. It was fun going down to see them & have lunch w/ them. Thanks you guys for the invite & having us come down.
