CARS 2

We saw CARS 2 with my Dad yesterday! Super cute movie. Loved it. Can't decide if I liked it better than the first one...

3 Months old!!!

I can't believe she is 3 months old! Callie is so smiley and happy all the time! She loves any and all attention she gets, and has recently started to giggle. Ron is the best at getting her to laugh. I LOVE it!

We have nicknamed her Bubbles. This girl always has bubbles coming out of her mouth!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day Ronnie!

I read somewhere once that a house wife is worth approximately $140,000 a year. This includes the average household jobs that mothers perform; i.e. laundry, day care, housekeeping... etc. I am sure that my husband is worth 10 times that much. Not only does he take good care of us by going to work and providing for us but he performs all kinds of tasks and jobs at home.

His is really good at the "Honey-Do" list. We are very fortunate to have such a talented man like Ron in our home. He is very handy around the house. Whether it's fixing things like removing tree roots involved in a plumbing problem or re-tiling the whole house Ronnie has done it all! (In my opinion!) I thought it would be fun to post pictures of a few projects Ron has done over the years!

We had only been married a couple years when he decided to re tile our home. I remember asking him nervously, "Are you sure you can do this all yourself?" He had never tiled anything before. He just bought a DVD instructional video at Home Depot on tiling and did a little research on the internet and went to work. He is so good at figuring things out.

While I do appreciate the many talents and abilities that Ron has, I mostly admire his character, the person he is. I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for Ronnie. He's a wonderful Father to our children (there's a reason they like him better than me!), and an amazing husband. (Oh and he's a great kisser!!! LOL! He is going to die when he sees that I wrote that!)

Seriously, I am so grateful to have such a man to share my life with and raise my children with.

Happy Father's Day Ronnie! We love you!

Faler Family Reunion 2011

Our annual Faler Family Reunion was last week. We went camping about 50 miles north of Payson at the Moqui Campground.

Callie was WONDERFUL on this trip. I was very nervous taking a 2 month old camping but she is just like her brothers and LOVES the outdoors! She slept great at night and was for the most part a very happy baby! On Saturday afternoon she laid in the tent for almost an hour, totally happy, smiling, and talking to herself. Supercute!

What is camping with out throwing rocks into a lake?! Mason and Noah could do this for days and days!!!!

And YES he almost jumped in!

Mason was fascinated with the water pump thing, and thought it was a great place to get a drink. Thank goodness is was potable water!

Ron's parents were gracious enough to let us borrow their quads. All the kids sure enjoyed riding them and couldn't wait for their turns! I wish I would have taken more pictures on the quads. At one point I was following Ron who had Mason, Josh and Corbin on the back of his quad. All three boys turned and looked at me. Words can't express the COMPLETE look of JOY they all had on their faces! I wish I would've had my camera!!!!! I'll have that mental picture for years.

Cousin Amelia was so sweet to Noah! She followed him around and played with him a lot. She must have pitched the ball to him a thousand times!

My Dad brought his projector and we got to watch Tangled under the stars!

We celebrated my Dad's Birthday. I love this picture of almost all the Grandkids!

To the Man who started this all: Happy Birthday Dad-Grandpa-Uncle! We love you!

The last day most of the Family had already packed up and gone home. We stayed and took a family hike.

I love how adventurous my boys are!
