The Culley Family

2010-07-14T16:10:00.004-06:00

Wow I'm a horrible blogger!! So much has happened since the last post I don't even know how to start!! We have been so busy with our business and having 2 two year old's it is hard to keep up with the blog! I need to post some pictures of all our fun adventures. We went to Disneyland in February and just got back from visiting family in Oregon. We are loving the potty training (not!!!) however, we get do get closer everyday! The kids are in gymnastics and LOVE it!!! I am playing in a softball league and LOVE it!!! Steve works from sun up to sun down and we have to remind him to sit down and take a deep breath! We still have our Hogle Zoo pass and go there often! I can't believe how time flies and how fast kids grow! I'm going to try and be a better blogger hopefully I can find time here and there to update the world...we'll see.

Playing in the Dirt!!

New yard!!

2009-07-17T15:43:00.010-06:00

We finally have a new yard where I can relax and the kids can play safely!! We all love it and their favorite part is the little bit of dirt to throw at each other...I would hate to think of how they would act with a sand box!!

Hunter loves to load her cup with rocks then take it to the other side of the yard and dump it out and fill it again...she did this for about an hour!!

Jackson Hole

2009-06-06T15:42:00.006-06:00

We went to Jackson Hole a couple of weeks ago for a little getaway. We had a good time...We rode the new tram lift up the mountain and did a lot of relaxing. here are some pictures of our trip.

I made Steve drive the 2 hours to see Old faithful. The kids were more impressed with playing in the gravel than seeing water fly in the air. It was a long drive for them!

Little boys and glasses!!

2009-06-05T13:38:00.005-06:00

Let me tell you for those who don't know...Little boys and glasses don't mix!! We are on our 2nd prescription and 3rd set of frames!! He is doing so much better now that he can see, however, he (and his loving sister) are super hard on the glasses!! The first (distinguished) pair were so cute on him but not practical for an 18 month old! When he would get them off (when I was in the bathroom or while he was in his car seat) he would chew on the silicone nose pieces and they would be ruined! It was crazy how many of the little things we went through and how often I had to go into the eye Doctor to get replacements. I was pretty sick of it so I used the wonderful Internet to research glasses for babies!! I knew that I wasn't the only mom in the world who had gone through this fun stuff and sure enough there are Solobambini glasses that are hard plastic and rubber and have NO nose pieces! he loves them and they are pretty dang cute on him!! They also have transition lenses so they turn dark in the sun!

Also the people at the Moran eye center have been so dang good to us. They replaced the "distinguished" pair at no cost to us (after he was so hard on them) with a fisher price pair that are pretty cute too! They are not quite as durable as the solobambini frame, we have already had to get them repaired and we have only had them for a month, but it is nice to have the two pairs to switch back and forth.

The last 3 days of our vacation we rented a house near the beach in Lincoln city, OR and we were able to let the kids play on the beach for a couple of hours. It was rather cold but they still had so much fun!!

Here are Hunter and Roper on the beach with the seagulls. They wanted to pet them so bad and for some reason the birds didn't want to be touched. They pretty much just wanted bread!!

Here is Hunter with the seagulls!

Here is Roper with the seagulls!

Roper Judd and his glasses

2009-03-15T17:40:00.005-06:00

Here is Roper Judd and his new glasses...He is so glad to be able to see!! He is a happier kid in every way! We think he looks pretty dang cute!

2009-03-13T12:52:00.003-06:00

I have been a huge slacker on the blog front...It has been crazy lately so here is an update on everything!!

Spent 3 weeks straight trying to find a Mountain Lion to shoot (with no success as of yet)

We have had 2 cases of croup in the last two months.

We went on a much needed vacation to Oregon!

We are almost finished remodeling the main level of our house. (cabinets will be done today!)

Roper Judd got glasses!

I will post pictures soon!

Poor Hunter

2008-12-18T14:28:00.004-07:00

Poor little Hunter Marie has Mono and a bacterial infection in her bladder. She has been such a trooper with fever's going to 104.5 degrees. She has been so tired and so sick! Her Brother is just a little bit jealous of all the attention sister has been getting we are praying he doesn't get it! I am hoping she is on the mends now that her temperature has come down.

Fun times!!

2008-12-16T12:11:00.015-07:00

It has been such a long and busy month!! I haven't even had time to look at my blog because of all the happenings!! Here is what we have been doing!

* We are no longer on formula...I feel like I got a raise in pay!

* We are no longer using bottles!...yeah! Only big kid cups for us!

* We have had 2 colds already!...Not fun but funner than last year.

* Our house is in a huge mess!...We are getting ready to get our new kitchen. YES!!

* Went to the Zoo and actually saw animals move. It's great it the cold!!

* Saw Zoo Lights.

* Put up Lights outside! No Tree for us this year...House too messy!

* Twins had their first Turkey Dinner...Kids didn't like it but Mom and Dad did.

That's about it! Hope everyone is well!

We nabbed Grandma Riley from work and made her go with us to the Discovery Gateway. We had so much fun and the kids are getting big enough to enjoy it now!! We planned on going to the Zoo but the weather wasn't quite good enough so we ended up there.

Family pictures

2008-11-23T22:10:00.003-07:00

We had our family pictures taken on Friday night and here are some of the best ones. I love our photographer's!! They are so patient with me and my (no nap) kids so we were able to take a billion pictures and a couple turned out. It was fun to be able to take our Boarder Collie Ruby with us because she is truly part of our family!!

My sister Misty sent me this picture of my nephew Drew and the fish he caught. I thought it was a cool picture so I thought I would share.

Happy or Un-Happy Halloween

2008-10-30T22:20:00.004-06:00

So I am ready to cry. I spent yesterday taking fun pictures of the kids at Wheeler Farms and at the Jenson Halloween party and my camera some how deleted all of the pictures on the card (like 300 or so) It makes me so sad because there were so many cute pictures! I have no idea how or when it happened I went to download them from the camera to the computer and nothing was there. I hope that I can get copies from everyone else that took pictures!! We got the kids pictures taken today at the photo studio and they turned out very nice!! but it still doesn't bring back all of the other pictures!! :-(

Happy Halloween!!

We were able to spend some time with Lindsey and Cohen and Uncle Dave as well. We had a good trip and the kids had fun!!

Anyway, I had to share their new outfits!!

Birthday Round-up Time!!

2008-10-07T18:25:00.008-06:00

On Oct. 4th we had Hunter and Roper's 1st birthday party. We did the Woody/Jesse Round-up theme and for not being able to find any Toy Story stuff the decorations turned out cute!! It was so much fun and they were hilarious with their own cakes!! They were a little timid at first and then the dug right in!! The presents were fun and they enjoyed opening them!

The terrible two turn one!

2008-10-01T15:24:00.002-06:00

The twins turned one on September 29th!! I can't believe it has been a year. Though at some times I thought I would never make it through, I did make it and it gets easier every day!! The kids are getting huge (as you can see) and are so much fun! I am having so much fun being a mom (even though sometimes I am ready to pull my hair out!) They are not walking quite yet but I am expecting them to take off any day now. (I am not encouraging it a whole lot!) I have hard enough time keeping up with them crawling 90 mph.

I'm new at this so bare with me!

2008-10-01T15:15:00.003-06:00

I have been asked by so many people to start a blog so that they can see updated pictures more often of the kids, so here it is. I will probably not be the best at updating but I will try.
