Over the forth we went camping and had a blast! Austin learned how to ride his bike which took no time at all! We are so proud of you! You did amazing ... it was nice to have Grandma and Grandpa there to cheer you on I love the pictures we got of you. You were so excited and full of life! As a mom that was such a big moment. I can't believe we are here already.

We love ya buddy!

Dylan definately wanted some attention too, so he would yell to me "Mom look at me.... I'm doing it" He is always trying to keep up with Austin. It was cute Austin would watch Dylan and tell him "Wow Dylan you are doing good! Keep practicing!"

Shayla discovered a Pine tree!

On the forth we went to a small town that was close by and watched a prade it was perfect, not to long but long enough to feel patriotic!

We also went and saw some petroglyphs at Capital Reef State Park..... they were awesome!!!

It was a fun trip and we are proud to say the Ghetto made it through another trip! ;)

Yes...We are still alive!

I know its been A LONG TIME!

So get ready, get comfortable, speed read, or just look at the pics and move on to another blog.

Well, let me go back to St. Patrick's week, that Thursday, March 19th, Shayla had her two month appt. She weighed 13.4 lbs. (90%), height 22.2" (50%), and head 16.0" (90%)

She is so happy. She sleeps like an angel and loves her brothers. She always gives them this huge smile when they come around. We are so lucky to have her in our lives!!

( I know..... she was smiling and I didn't have time to grab the bow!)

Next on March 22nd, we celebrated Dylan's Birthday.
I can't believe my baby boy is 3!!! I feel like we just celebrated his 2nd birthday! Man time flys! We had a lot of fun. His birthday was on Sunday so we gave him his presents when he woke up. We hid the presents and had him play the hot/cold game and they loved it! (Austin had to help him a little.)

Then that night, we had grandparents over for some cake and ice cream! Dylan helped make his cake and he even did the sprinkles all by himself!

The next day we went to Boondocks and had a blast. Brad, Melanie, and Tess came along. Thanks guys, we had fun!

Then that Wednesday, we all came down with strep (Austin, Dylan, and I ) At the same time I was trying to get ready for Shayla's Baby Blessing which was that Sunday. Thank goodness by Saturday I was feeling 10 times better! I have to say that I had the best shopping experience that Saturday. (Thanks to my mom and sisters....) First off we went and registered Bryn at Babies'R'Us and then we headed to the mall to get something for me to wear for the blessing. Of course I had saved this to the very last min. not wanting to battle looking at myself in mirrors and being completely bummed out and terrified at what I looked like. Anyways, we all walked into a store and it was crazy. All three of them just vanish and start grabbing things that they thought would work. I stood in amazement at how fast they were moving and while at the same time I had a store employee telling me to come this way to one of their dressing rooms while they picked out some oufits. As I headed to the changing room, weaving the stroller in and out of impossible spaces, I finally got to my room with a ton of clothes hanging on every hook available. There I was earlier that morning thinking.....screw it.... I'll just go in a moo moo. My sisters and mom were at the door telling me to let them in. As I unlock the door they hurried in scrambling to assign each other an area of my body that they would be in charge of. Before I knew it, I was being told to "skin the bunny", being pantsed, and having them change me from one outfit to another. This started over quite a few times and not once was I able to take a glimps in the mirror to get depressed. Then after felling like I was in some kind of twister they all smilled and said "perfect" as they quickly moved away from the front of the mirrors to reveal the master piece they came up with! I looked at it and thought, "Holy crap!!! What just happened?" and "Wow, I really like this outfit." Then I looked at my hair and it was so messy. I don't think it had ever been as messy! Anyways it was amazing and I quickly realized once again how much I love my sisters and mom! Thanks Guys! I love you!

Sunday was great. Jeremy gave her an amazing blessing and she slept through it all. She looked perfect!! My mom made her dress and aunt Brittany made her bow. We had alot of people come. The food was amazing thanks to everyone who helped out! I couldn't have done it without you all! Here are some pictures of the day!

After the blessing, that night we had to clear out the house! Well.... the family room, kitchen and anything we needed from the kids rooms because bright and early the next day the tile workers were going to come and rip out all the flooring so they could put in the new flooring We made it two nights and decided we couldn't live in the mess.

Thanks to my parents for letting us stay with them for a week while they finished it. Then the next week we went and stayed at Brittany's house and we watched the girls while Brittany and Bryce went to Las Vegas!

When we finally were able to come back home I was completely in shock at how dirty my house was. There was dust every where! I spent the next week cleaning and moving the furniture all back to where it was suppose to be! ( they did the pluming that week and had to move some of the pipes around.

I think it was the week after that I lost it! The workers were hear doing the sheet rock and they had mudded and started to sand. I new it was going to get dusty but I didn't think it was going to be as bad as it was! I went in to my room with the kids after they told me I needed to go in to another room to keep from breathing in the dust. Yeah, well when I came out I think I froze and then just started to laugh and then cry. We opened up the stairs and had to have the celling and the remaining walls fixed. The dust just spread through the house like a cloud of flour. I grabbed my camera and took a picture of my flour. I vacuumed a little to show the difference. The whole house was covered .

I am excited to say that we are nearing the end. We are painting this week and carpet goes in on Monday. I am so excited we are just about done. We have enjoyed the changes and am planing on never moving! ....well I guess I should never say never. How about not for a long time and If we ever do. I really would not like to live in the house while remolding.

While in the middle of all the FUN remodeling we have been able to do a lot of FUN things! Jeremy and I were very greatful to be apart of the Draper Temple dedication. Jeremy's dad gave us tickets to be in the celestral room. It was amazing to feel the spirit so strong. It was very amazing to have the prophet right there. The choir sounded so good I will never forget that day! (well I hope..... my memory has been pretty much toast lately!)

Easter was great we had a lot of fun. The boys really got into it and enjoyed finding their baskets and were excited the easter bunny new about Shayla. They helped her find her basket. We went to Grandma and Grampas house to have a easter egg hunt. I also painted Shayla's toes to match her easter dress. (I am having so much fun with this girly stuff.) We also dyed easter eggs at Brittany's house while she was in Vegas.

Austin has started Soccer and tomorrow is his last game. He loves it and has enjoyed being with his friends! Good job Austin.... Daddy and I are so proud of you!

Dylan has enjoyed being outside playing in the mud and riding his Big wheel!

Shayla had her 4 month check up and she weighs 16 lbs. 3 oz., Height 25.1 and her Head 17.2"

She had her vaccinations done and she cried for 15 min. before I could get her to calm down. It broke my heart to have her so sad. She looked at me like you horrible thing!

She loves her jumperoo and can spend hours in it. In fact the other day I was cleaning and I came back in the room and she had fallen asleep in it. I grabbed the video camera and got this!

I think we are going to send it to "Americas Funniest Home Videos". She seriously is the happiest baby!

We went to St. George for memorial weekend. It was great to get a way and enjoy our little family. We played at the pool all weekend and just relaxed!

Last weekend we went camping with my family. My dad had back surgery yesterday and so we thought we would have our last "Hoo Raw" before he was down for the summer! We had fun taking rides on the four wheeler and watching the kids get dirty. I have to tell you about our trailer. I love it and I think I have mentioned before how we have named it the Ghetto Fabulous. Well after this weekend it lived up to its name a little more. We get on the road and we get to Lehi when Jer notices that the siding is catching the wind. When all of a sudden the siding just starts pealing right off the entire side of the trailer. So we pull over and check out the damage. Tt was a good thing we had some rope in the trailer. So all we could think of doing was to wrap the trailer like a present with some of the handy knots my dad had taught me! Well it worked and thankfully the next exit had a "Home Depot" So we bought a drill, nails and some good old duck tape! The trailer looks great and works great! Although I think it's day's are numbered. Let's hope and pray we can get the rest of this summer out of it then hopefully we can up grade to a little more modern day version of a trailer. Really, I feal that as long as it has a toilet and a tub it is a great trailer. And I think you can see why in some of the pictures below.

Now I think for the most part I'm caught up on the main events and I hope that I can try not to have this happen again. I have to say I have enjoyed reading all of your blogs and as far as I know you all are doing good.

Good old St. Patrick's Day!

2009-03-18T13:09:00.004-06:00

Good old St. Patrick's Day! As a child, this holiday was always the day we wore Green and if not we would be pinched. So we would go to school thinking we would find someone not wearing it and if we thought we found someone, we (my friends and I) would dare each other to pinch that certain other. And If they had tricked us, the person who had pinched them would get the hefty penalty of 10 pinches in return. As we got older and into middle school you would wear a shirt that said "Kiss me I am Irish" in hopes that a cute boy at school, that you spent all year admiring the back of his head, day dreaming he would read your shirt and lay one on ya, let alone just even say "Hi" to you as you passed him in the hallway. Then in high school It was just another excuse to kiss your boyfriend. Wow has time changed and yesterday was I in trouble! It all started with me saying to Austin "Happy St. Patrick's Day" as I started to tickle him and kiss him asking him where his green was. After some laughing and discovering he was indeed wearing green and that it was his turn to get me back, he looked up at me and said "Where is the leprechaun and the bowl of candy he left???" My response was a confused "What?!" Then he proceeds to tell me that he made a leprechaun at school and he forgot to hang it up last night before he went to bed. Well thank goodness for the best leprechaun ever! Our leprechaun is a girl, and she is very sneaky, she can even wiggle her ears! But wow is she creative! After spending some time at Arctic Circle we came home to our family room tore apart with candy sprinkled around the room. She is so silly she even found our church shoes and put candy in them. Then she turned our milk green along with our toilet water! Wow, she didn't forget us after all. What a great leprechaun she is! Now if anyone sees this leprechaun will you please tell her how great she is.... I think she goes by Brittany and she claims she is my sister although I do have a slightly crazy sister that I wouldn't put past her doing something like this. So until we find out I guess we will just thank her. Please keep your eye out for this leprechaun!

(Thanks Brittany for saving me!)

Shayla's Birth Announcement

2009-03-18T13:05:00.003-06:00

No News is Good News....

2009-03-04T16:36:00.012-07:00

I would like to start this post off with a big sorry! I have a healthy, cute, little, very smiley, Pink bundle of joy! I could not ask for a cutter little girl. (because she is the cutest :) She has a little louder then normal heart murmur and we will have to go back when she is 6 months to make sure everything is normal.

Anyways, let me fill you in on what has been happening here at the Franco's. This last month Aunt Bryn came to town and Shayla loved having her here. So did the boys.

Valentines was great! We enjoyed the day together as a family. We went to a movie with the kids and made sugar cookies. Daddy spoiled Shayla and I he bought this outfit for Shayla and bought me a day spa pass. (I am dying to use it) The boys were excited to get Spiderman and Car's dish wear. I love that they can get so excited over the simplest things and still to this day are excited to use them for every meal.

The shelfs in our garage are now housing all of our crap and some holiday decor. Our trailer parked on the side of the house is stuffed with the kids toys. (what a joke!) I have realized again our kids are spoiled.

I thought I would take pictures of the basement and the entrance/stairs through out the process of the overhaul. Here are the before pictures.

The wood arrived and the framing is done as well as the electrical.

The pluming was finished today as well as the air vents but here is a picture of the bathroom/laundry room when it was all tore up! (What a mess!)

Here are some pictures of the closets being ripped out! The boys loved watching all of this. They thought it was pretty cool! I am just waiting for them to have their own great idea of taking out some walls themselves!

My parents took the whole family snowmobiling. We had so much fun. Jeremy had to stay home and help with the eletrical on the basement. (We missed you hun, thanks for all your hard work.) My parents also took there 5th wheel up so we could come back and get warm, have lunch, and relax. My mom brought a candy neckles for the kids to make.

Dylan was such a dare devil. He loved going down the hill or I should call it "the mountain". I have to admit, I was friecked out. I went down and just about started crying ;) I was scared to death and there is Dylan asking to go again! Austin loved it too. He was just as brave. So yeah I'm a wimp. I'm more scared than a 2 year old! Here are some of the pictures!

Austin has started karate! He loves it. We are excited to have him in something to drain some of his energy and give him some confidence. We are so proud of him. He is working really hard.

Well we are very busy around here and are enjoying our family. Thank you everyone for your support and your prayers with Shayla. We are excited to bless her March 29th. We would love to have everyone there. If any of you need the address email me and I will get you the info! Thanks again and I will try not to go as long next time.

Shayla's Two weeks!!!

2009-01-31T15:41:00.005-07:00

I can't believe how fast two weeks have gone. On Thursday, we went to her two week visit and she is now 9 lbs. and 7 oz. and 20.6 inch. so she gained weight and shrunk. I hope that doesn't keep happening. (no just kidding)

On to the rest of the appointment, the Dr. came in and was listening to her heart and after about 5 min. of listening he looks up at me and says I am hearing something with her heart that doesn't sound right and I want to order an EKG. My heart sank I immediately thought of our good friends that have just recently gone through some heart problems with there little boy. The Dr. saw my face and immediately started telling me not to worry and that it's probably nothing. He just wants to make sure, BUT then says "I want to get her in soon." He then proceeds to ask if he can book it on their soonest available date and if that would be ok with my schedule, so we are heading up to primaries on Tuesday.

Later that night Jeremy gave her a father's blessing. I am so thankful to have the gospel in our lives. I have felt the spirit in my life many times and when Jeremy gave her that blessing I was overwhelmed with the spirit and the love the savior has for me and my little family. I am so grateful to have a husband that holds the priesthood and is able to give the kids and I the comfort and strength we need from our Heavenly Father.

I will let you know how it goes on Tuesday. Until then, enjoy the pictures I was able to get of our little Sweetheart!

I am in need of some addresses and thought this would be the easiest way to get them from everyone. I am sending out Shayla's announcements and thank you cards. So please e-mail me your info to: brookefranco@hotmail.com

2009-01-31T15:16:00.006-07:00

Now we need to load the shelves up with our crap in the basement so we can start finishing the basement. I am excited.... but I am in for some major dust and noise.

A sad attempt to get three guys to smile for a quick pic.

The delivery went perfect, 3 pushes and she was here. Everyone was in awe at how big she was. Jeremy and I were able to have sometime with her ourselves and then the crews of people came and it didn't stop. We loved it! I love showing her off. Thanks for all the visits.

When Austin and Dylan came they were so excited! Austin loves her like crazy and is very protective of her. Dylan didn't know what to think in the beginning. He was very concerned the first night and didn't want to come to me. He just asked what's that and if it hurt! (my IV) Then he was stuck to daddy the rest of the night! The following day he was a lot more relaxed and very interested in Shayla. He's been good ever since! Here are some pictures. I will post more in the next couple of days along with the winners from the last post!

Christmas!

2009-01-01T21:58:00.003-07:00

Christmas was amazing here at the Franco's. We are very blessed and Santa definitely did not forget us at our house. Here are some pics.

Austin's Pre-school Program

2008-12-23T16:06:00.007-07:00

Austin had his Christmas program at pre-school and he had a lot of fun. It was funny to watch him and the other two boys in the class. They didn't get in to it like the girls but they were there to make as much noise as they could with the bells and Kazoos!

The whole crew came to support Austin. Thanks everyone for coming, he talked about you guys coming to his pre-school and how cool that was.

Aunt Brittany, Kaybree, and Oakley

Grandma Janet and Grandpa Dean.

Grandma Cristina

Aunt Bryn

Miss Amy and Austin

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

2008-12-23T14:17:00.005-07:00

A couple of Saturdays ago It had snowed and we were so excited to go sleigh riding with the boys. We had so much fun and I couldn't believe how long they lasted. I thought Dylan would last 15 min. They were troopers the whole time. I just took pictures and had a lot of fun doing that.

Austin and Jer!

Dylan and Jer!

I love this picture, Jer and Dylan are completely hanging on for dear life and Austin is just chilin in the middle trying to just get a little more snow to eat!

Christmas lights!

2008-12-23T14:07:00.004-07:00

A couple weeks ago we went downtown to see the lights. We went with some of our good friends and had a lot of fun! I think the boys favorite part by far was the train ride. It was so crowded that we didn't see much at all! Here are some pictures that we did get that night!

Oh Christmas Tree! Oh Chrristmas Tree!

2008-12-03T16:47:00.003-07:00

So hear it is! ThE TrEe! I had some help this year, usually it's me and I do it all. But this year Jeremy helped me get it up and put the lights on it! Yeap you heared me, "the lights on". This 10 foot tree is not pre-lit. In other words I think I am going to get a new tree next year because Jeremy realized what a pain in the arss it was. ;) The next day my mom and Bryn came and helped me decorate. (What a great family I have.) The boys helped out as well. They also helped put their tree up in there room. They have had so much fun with that tree, it's hilarious! They want Santa to put presents under their tree and not "mommy and daddy's" tree.

I have to tell you about our GrEaT tReE. We bought it when we lived in our town house knowing that we would be out of it before the next Christmas. I thought for sure the next house would be a rambler and have vaulted ceilings. Well, when we found our house I was torn between two different models, one being a two story and the other being a rambler. The 10 foot Christmas tree you see above was the deciding factor! There would be no place to put that tree in the two story! I know that sounds crazy because it is! I'm glad that our tree was around because we have loved our house! Great story ha!

One of my little Turkey's!!!

2008-12-03T16:28:00.002-07:00

Austin is in love with turkey! If he could he would eat it all day!

11-20......

2008-11-20T22:12:00.004-07:00

Yes...that's us 7 years ago......

Aren't we dang cute.....

Some might call today their birthday, or others just one day closer to Thanksgiving. For me it is a very special day that I will never forget. Let me take you back to 11-20-2001 which is the day I met Brooke for the first time. Let me give you a little background to how this meeting came about. Just a week prior I was at work and a co-worker of mine (who was Brooke's cousin) asked me if I wanted to be set up with her really cute cousin. After some hesitation, I agreed to it. I had just been on a run of these "so called blind dates" that I really didn't want to be put through the agony of another one. After some convincing, I agreed to have her call Brooke up and set me up. The day finally came and I went to her house to pick her up (with her cousin and her boyfriend). Her mom answered the door and I became more and more nervous. Then she came to the door. WOW!!!!! She was HOT STUFF!!!!! HER COUSIN WASN'T KIDDING!!! Well that added even more excitement, fear, and nervousness. I thought there was no chance she would go for me so you better live it up tonight.........Well the way the story goes is that we had a fantastic night going to dinner at Chili's followed by a movie, Night's Tale, at my house. I probably pulled the dumbest move ever when I dropped her off and asked her to hang out again. She said perfect and I asked her to give me a call when she was available. As I drove home I started telling myself...you idiot, you idiot, you idiot, you told her to call you but you didn't give her your number. Well I couldn't stop thinking about this girl all night......didn't even sleep a minute. The next day I told myself there is no way you are falling for this girl so fast. It was one date. You're ridiculous. So I vowed not to call her again. I went out with my buddies that day and night and made it to about 11:00 the following morning (which was Thanksgiving) to call her. I was wooped!!!! We went out that night and things got pretty interesting after I kissed her at the bowling alley after getting a strike......which is what I thought you do to celebrate a strike.....Anyway, we were driving home and she says "Kiss on the 2nd date huh.....(Awkward pause).....(even more awkward pause)....Well I have a missionary and I'm wearing his promise ring. If you think this is a waste of time and money you can take me home and never go out with me again. Either way, I'm still waiting for him. He comes home in 4 months. Now, usually I would have raced to her house to drop her off and never....I mean never, call her again. There was something different about her. So that night I started formulating a plan for my new mission: Extract Ring From Finger. Well 6 weeks later we were engaged and 7 months to the day, we were married. We have had our some really amazing times as we have seen our family grow over the years. We've had our ups and our downs and 2 and 2/3 kids later....(Shayla's almost here....) and I am still the luckiest guy in the world. I thank her for all she does... all of the little things that go unnoticed and most of all for being the mother of our children and the best wife ever. She's the most amazing mom and the boys and Shayla are so lucky to have her. I am lucky to have her. I have spent the last 2 days in bed with a fever of 102 and she has been tending to my every need, taking care of the boys, doing photography, making dinner, cleaning the house, and as we speak going to go fill my prescription at the pharmacy at 10:30 because she wants me to have a good night sleep. Did I tell you I was the luckiest guy ever.....Anyway, I thought she deserved to be in the spotlight and to share our amazing story of a day that I will never forget.....November 20, 2001.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY !!!

Love you babe!!! --Jeremy

Neighbor Gift's!

2008-11-19T20:36:00.003-07:00

Last year we started this charity drive and it turned out great! I highly recommend it. Who needs all the extra candy and 2 liters of Sprite anyway? I hope everyone in the neighborhood got their flyer. If not swing by and I will give you one. See ya on Dec. 1st...

The Big 5!!!

2008-11-13T16:27:00.007-07:00

I cant believe my little Buddy is 5! Austin turned 5 on Nov. 4th (I know I am horrible I am just getting around to blogging about it.) We had so much fun. He even asks me "How many sleeps till it's my birthday again?" It was a week of Birthday Blast! We had Grandparents over for Cake and Ice Cream on his birthday which was nice to have it small and all the attention on him! Of course he was spoiled, hear are some of the pictures. (By the way, you may see some of the pictures with a bit of a foggy film....Dylan got a hold of the camera and smudged his fingerprint which I obviously found later.. :)

This is Austin the morning of his Birthday. He was so excited to open his presents. In fact, the night before he was going through the house looking for his present and asking to go to bed at 6:00 p.m. Later that night Jeremy came home from a concert and put together a slot race car set that we thought would be the best thing ever. Apparently we were wrong. It was the biggest piece of hud and after finishing putting it together at 1:00 a.m. we realized we were going to have to make a run to Walmart to get something else. Good thing those 24 hour Walmarts are open. (Man I love Walmart....) Anyway, we were able to get to bed at 2:30 with some toys that were a hit the next morning!!!

Great Grandma Lela.

Great Grandma Monica.

Austin, Grandma Cristina, and Grandpa Rudy.

Austin Grandpa Dean and Grandma Janet.

Austin had so much fun making his own cake. I just gave him the stuff and he put it on. It's an Indiana Jones cake. I had to help a little with the sprinkles after he had pretty much dumped half of them on the floor.

The best pic we could get of us. (Yes, that tired look on my face is because of my 2:30 a.m. shopping spree...)

For his friend birthday party we went to "Bouncin' Off The Walls." It was so nice to not have the crazy chaos at the house, and when it was over we went home to our quiet undisturbed home. Man we all had fun.

Us girls had to get in on all the fun.

Heather, Kristin, me, Brittany, Grandma Janet, and Mellisa

Halloween Fun!

Here are some fun pics from our party at Grandpa Dean and Grandma Janet. As you can see we had a blast bobbin for donuts and playing games with the cousins!! Dylan was dressed up as Buz Lightyear and Austin was Indiana Jones. They both came up with what they wanted their costumes to be. Austin was sick as could be that night but still wanted to party all night long. On Halloween we visited Grandpa Rudy and Grandma Cristina. We picked up some fun goodies baskets that they had put together and opened up the glow sticks they gave them for tricker treating. They both had a blast!!!

As Austin would say " There's my buns...."

Pumpkin Patch

2008-10-21T20:18:00.007-06:00

On Monday when Jeremy came back from hunting all weekend we went to the Pumpkin Patch for a little fun. The boys had missed dad so much. Jer had come home at the end of Dylan's nap and when he had pulled up I guess Dylan woke up to the sound of Jeremy's truck. All of a sudden Dylan swung open the door so hard and fast the door hit the wall then bounced back and hit him. At the same time he was screaming Daddy's Home! Daddy's Home!

The night before Jer had left, the boys and him had a party in the trailer. They had popped popcorn, watched a movie, and then had a sleep over out in the driveway. I was invited but I think secretly it was a "No Girls Allowed" kind of night. Which was fine with me. My bed sounded really good! Not saying that there is anything wrong with the nice "memory foam" the trailer has!?! (It's the kind of memory foam that doesn't let you forget where you slept last night ;)) I really should take a picture of that "beut" and post it. The nick names we have for it are the "Tiltin Hilton" and the "Ghetto Fabulous"! We love it! It makes for some great camping trips!!!

Anyways we went to the Pumpkin Patch and picked out our Pumpkins. Here are a few of our pictures!

I love this picture! They always make me laugh!

Going out to find some Pumpkins!

"Brothers by chance, Friends by choice!"

Austin's Pumpkin!

This is one of the many little ones Dylan put in our wheel barrel. He was in heaven, we had to keep putting them back without him seeing or else we would have had 30 little pumpkins!

The tractors are always a big hit!

I was surprised I had gotten this picture he was so into the tractors I would try to get him to look at me and he was to busy!

Sleepover!

2008-10-07T19:57:00.004-06:00

We let the boys have a sleepover a couple of weeks ago in Austin's room. They did awesome until about 6 a.m. They were up and ready to play! When I went in before we went to bed this is what I found. Notice they are holding hands! They can't wait to share a room!

Lake Powell!

2008-10-07T19:31:00.004-06:00

I don't know if you remember but back in May we went to Good Things Utah and and we won the Lake Powell give away! So we went in August and had so much fun. I don't think I have laughed so hard. Jeremy got up on the Wake board and the Surf Board. I talked Jeremy in to letting me surf....he wouldn't let me wake board (I know how to fall gracefully:)) I took a lot of pictures (1700 pics and it made a great video!) Enjoy the pic's!

Bubba..... what a funny guy!

The house boat we got to stay on! We had the perfect spot in a cove!

Austin started Pre-School

2008-10-07T17:58:00.003-06:00

Austin started pre-school back in August! I know, I know... better late then never but doesn't he look so cute! Man they get big so fast!

Check that out....Transformers!!!!

Jeremy's Birthday Weekend

2008-10-07T16:55:00.011-06:00

Jeremy's birthday cake that the boys and I made for him!

The weekend of his birthday we went out with some friends. We had so much fun!! We went bowling which we hadn't done in forever!

Hello face! Jer looks good so I had to post it!

Wow! What a good looking crew!

What? I was just wanted to show you the bowling balls I did so good with. Ryan on the other hand was just to big of a wimp and was just trying not to drop his balls!

Potty Trainng

2008-09-16T17:08:00.006-06:00

So we have been potty training and it has been going good. We have our moments but we are about there! We have this jar in the bathroom that I have filled up with toy cars and everytime he goes he gets a car. He loves it! Then every night I collect them all and we start over the next day! Dylan thinks it's the best thing and Austin on the other hand thinks "Wow what a rip off!"

So proud (he is going to love me for this picture!)

The jar of cars!

Happy Birthday Jeremy!!!

2008-09-11T08:12:00.003-06:00

Today is my Hubby's birthday he turns 29! WOW he is old !!!;) I just have to say what an amazing hubby and dad he is. We are so lucky to have him in our lives!

Happy Birthday Old Fart!!!

(I am proud to say I have given him that gray hair! My goal is all gray by 30!)

Labor Day Weekend!

2008-09-02T22:08:00.004-06:00

This last weekend we headed down to St. George with the Franco family. We stayed in a amazing house and played in the pool the whole time! Here are a few pictures! I am glad it's me that takes the pictures in the family because I managed to stay out of them this weekend. (You should thank me, really!!)

Fall Special!!

2008-09-02T17:04:00.004-06:00

I have a special going on if you or any of your friends/family are interested let me know.

Need to start thinking Princess!

2008-08-27T15:23:00.000-06:00

You Are Ariel!

Headstrong and fiesty. You have a mind of your own that's full of romantic dreams about the world around you. Exploring exotic places is your ultimate dream, and although you can be a little naive you'll realize that there is something to be gained from your family's wisdom.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

It's a... It's a...

2008-08-14T17:08:00.006-06:00

Holy crap I am freaking out! ITS A GIRL!!! What do I do?!? What do I do?!? We are so excited!! We went today for a gender ultrasound and we thought we would take the boys with us. They enjoyed it and when they turned the speakers on to hear the heart beat their faces were priceless. Both of there eyes were huge! (I swear they have surround sound in that room! Maybe the speakers were turned all the way up.) Dylan said really surprised, "Do you hear that?!?"

I made them show me in many angles that she was a she. I just could not believe it! I am a true believer of the drain-O!!! SHE is due January 25th! Here is the proof!

I finally got around to doing my own kid's pictures!!

2008-07-23T21:09:00.002-06:00

Yesterday I had two cute girls I did pictures for. Once I was done Dylan wanted to have his pictures taken. It was hilarious, he just sat their and posed for me. I was so excited!!! These are just three of the many I liked of him. It made me glad that I was able to take his pictures instead of taking them to Kiddie Kandids and being told I have a 20 minute wait and need to choose from six options. (which to mention are not that great and then you end up walking out spending $100 or more on 7 sheets of pictures)

Later Austin came home from playing at a friends and I had him sit there and take a few. Austin of course is the easy one but like always a goof and pulls some fun faces.

They were laughing so hard at each other to get a posed picture!

Austin trying to go cross eyed! (Hmmm, I wonder where he gets that from!)

Just laughing! I love it! I want to eat those cheeks!

A real smile for me!

Dylan trying not to smile!

Anyone that has had me do there pictures knows I have a goofy side. Quite often it gets a good responses from the kids but Dylan at this moment obviously thought I was being too loud and was telling me to shhhhh!

I then started laughing at the thought that I was too noisey for him which made him laugh and that's how I got this picture!

(Me too noisey.....never!!)

The joys of kids!

2008-07-22T10:45:00.003-06:00

Sunday morning I walk out of my room to find the strong smell of sunscreen. Thinking what the....!!! when I see this huge circle of white, wet, foamy residue on the carpet. Yes, Dylan had found a BRAND NEW bottle of aerosol sun screen and sprayed the hole bottle on the carpet. Me and the Shop Vac were at it for a good hour and I think we still need to have the carpets cleaned!

Its a good thing they are cute!

This is an older picture I had. I should have known!

Bike Parade!

2008-07-22T10:05:00.008-06:00

Last week we went to a bike parade in Draper! The boys loved it! We met up with my family and decorated the boys bikes and had Austin's face painted (Dylan refuses to do that.) Here are some pictures!

We needed haircuts bad!

Another fun tag!!!

2008-07-14T22:27:00.002-06:00

I found this tag and I thought it looked pretty fun!!

What were you doing 10 years ago? I was 16 and working at Bass shoes. (Which is a shocker because I hated feet and still do!) I was probably pretty tan because I had just gone to Powell and was heading back down for the 24th. Man those were the days!

What were you doing 5 years ago? I was pregnant with Austin and working as a Nanny for the Casto's. I love that family. We thought we were dirt poor but I don't think you know what poor is until you have the kid.

What are 5 things on your “to do list” today? Make my family laugh, laundry, clean my bathroom, edit some pictures, and make dinner. (I hate to cook lately probably because I'm sick.)

What are 5 things you’d do if you had a billion dollars? (well if you don't know me I am a dreamer so I have thought about this a lot!!)

I would pay off my house and all of my family's houses.
Then I would love to go to a fertility doctors offices and pay off some of the peoples bills off and/or pay for another in-vitro or something.
I would love to go and take a big trip with family and friends.
I would then go and build shelters and clinics in third world countries.
I would also love to just take things I knew people needed (New clothes, gift certificate to R.C. Willy's, Walmart, etc.) and just drop them on the door step and run!
Pay hospital bills for people

Of coarse I would have to invest it and definitely just do all of this off of the interest I would get so I could do it for the rest of my life! (Wow! I love that question!)

People I want to know more about: This might sound wired but Emma Smith. I don't know how she did it! Me! I don't get myself all the time! (Especially pregnant!)

I TAG: Everyone.

Delyla!!!

2008-07-14T21:33:00.007-06:00

So I am a Aunt again of another cute niece! She was borne on June 26th She weighed 7 lbs. 11oz. and as 20 inches. I went to see her at the hospital and then they came over this last week and Dylan was obsessed with her she just wanted to hold her none stop. After they left Dylan just keep on asking "Where did my baby go?" The great thing is I know without a doubt I am her favorite aunt!!! :)

Scary I know!

Dylan and Delyla

The Zoo!

2008-07-14T17:25:00.006-06:00

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Zoo and I am just getting around to blogging about it! We had so much fun. I probably should have done a slide show but some times I like to just see all the pictures like this.

Dlyan being a guppy!

Our friend Cole passed out!

All of us waiting for the train but the guy taking the picture missed Heather and her kids. (Sorry!!!)

Austin and Dylan on the train.

Taking a drink!

Dylan really getting into it.

Waiting for a ride!

They loved the giraffes!

Austin and I!

Our Date Night!

2008-07-14T15:19:00.007-06:00

Well, Jeremy and I went out on Friday. We went to the Journey, Heart, and Cheap Trick concert with our friends Brad and Melanie. We had a lot of fun! I think my favorite part was people watching and I have some questions after that night from observing others. First off, what are people thinking when they look in the mirror and their boobs are hanging out? (and they are not "I just got them done boobs" They are "I have had 4 kids and I am 50 years old " kind of boobs!) Second, Why is it when people have a beer and are taking pictures they all raise their beer and smile like they have to show that they are drinking a Coors Light or a Budweiser? It made me think maybe I should raise my can of Diet Coke and my picture will turn out better!

Anyways I have some funny video of this lady totally grooving to the music and I had to record it! Sorry I had no idea the the video would not flip but I think you will still get a kick out of it.

Jeremy and I!

Brad and Melanie

I forgot a Picture!

2008-07-13T17:46:00.003-06:00

I have this picture from my other camera and I forgot to put it in the 4th of July slide show! Dylan was way interested in the way all the boys just went potty out side and so at one point during the weekend I look over at him and he is ripping off his diaper saying "I go potty too!" So I had to take the picture. I think potty training is around the corner! (Crap!!!)

4th of July

2008-07-08T21:21:00.004-06:00

For the 4th of July we went camping with my family down south. We had a lot of fun being together as a family and enjoyed getting extremely dirty every day. Thank goodness for trailers with a bathtub!! By far the biggest hit with the boys were the 4 wheelers. Here are some pictures of all of us. ENJOY!!

Swim Lessons

2008-06-25T17:13:00.011-06:00

Dylan watching Austin.

He will just randomly yell "Good job Austin!"

Posing for the Camera!

Landon's Birthday!

2008-06-25T09:19:00.005-06:00

Dylan, Landon, Austin, and Kaybree.

Happy Birthday Buddy!!!

We Love You!!!

Father and Son's outing!

2008-06-23T21:29:00.006-06:00

On June 6th, Jeremy, my dad, and the boys all went camping! They were going to go on the father & sons outing but our ward ended up canceling and going to the church baseball field. Needless to say that was not going to fly with Jer. They decide to pack up and go just the four of them! They had so much fun! They took the Four wheeler, some pellet guns, and and did some good old male bonding! Here are some pictures.

Eating popcorn by the fire. (They wanted popcorn instead of smores.)

Austin was so excited to tell me about the guns! He shot the can on the first try! He must get that from me! HEHEHE!!

Dylan wasn't so sure about it!

When they were all loaded up and started to head home they wanted to watch a movie. In less than 5 minutes and before they could get off the dirt road, they were out.

I just have to say, while they were gone I had the best time! I went out to dinner at Ruby River with my mom and we had STEAK!!! Then on Saturday I cranked up my music really loud and cleaned my house to the point that my mom would be proud! Just me and the music. No kids saying it's to loud or trying to vacuum with a helper. I know lame but it reminded me of my high school days and every Saturday doing my chores with my sisters and all of our stereo's blaring!

Memorial Day

2008-06-05T16:03:00.008-06:00

Well I have to start off by saying thanks to my hubby for that last posting. Thanks I love ya!

Anyways, I have to tell you about Memorial day for us at the Franco's. It started off with me and some good friends I have going to "Good Things Utah" (I love that show. I DVR it and then during naps or at night I will watch it. I fast forward through most of it but I like to watch the begining and anything to do with fashion because I can always us help in that department.) We were really wanting to go that day because "At your Leisure" had teamed up with GTU and were giving away a 7 day trip to Lake Powell valued at $15,000. They were drawing the name that morning. We knew we were going to win! On are way there we had all agreed that if one of us won, we would all go. So we are sitting there and during the commercial break they gave us all a folded paper and told us not to peek. (I had the hardest time not looking, but hey I didn't cheat.) When they came back they announced the winner and she was from Idaho, I was mad! It's GT UTAH. They said that they had something for their audience and to open there paper to see who won. (at that point I am thinking that one of us would win a Life Jacket or something) So we open the paper and my friend Heather has the wining ticket. They had her stand up and they announce that she has just one the exact same prize!!! WERE GOING TO POWELL!!! We were all so excited we could not shut-up. The rest of the show we were all texting our hubbies and just beaming from ear to ear! Now I just have talk my Doc into letting me Ski, Surf, Wake Board, etc. No just kidding I will just have to soak up the sun and take some great pics of everyone.

After that great news, my parent took us up to Heber and we had "A day out with Thomas"! The boys love Thomas! We had so much fun! Thanks Mom and Dad! Hear are some fun pictures.

Austin and Jeremy

The train was leaving and Dylan would not stay there so I had to be in it. Don't you love my coat? (Thanks Jer!)

Grandpa Dean and Austin

Our little Fam.

The Boy's and I

Austins new Tattoo!

SURPRISE SURPRISE

2008-06-03T20:29:00.012-06:00

Well, for all you that don't know me, I'm Brooke's husband Jeremy, (in the picture above) with my two best buds Austin & Dylan. This is actually the first time I have ever done this blogging thing....We'll see how I do.

Well the reason I wanted to get on to this blog was to tell everyone how excited I am that we are having another baby. WOW, THREE?!?!?!?I don't do to well in showing my excitement (which I'm sure Brooke could tell you) but I am truly excited. We are hoping we get the girl this time and break the streak. Either way, we'll be super excited. Any of you that know Brooke, know how lucky I am to have her as the boys mom. She is so amazing with kids. She was definitely born a natural. I know she's a little nervous for number three but I think she's going to do awesome. Brookey, thanks for being such an awesome mom and for making all the sacrifices that are required of being a mom.

I also wanted to take a minute and tell Brooke how amazingly proud I am of her photography. Isn't she awesome!!!! Babe, you are taking some great pictures and getting better by the day. Every time she comes home from a shoot I wonder if she can top the last shoot that she did and believe me, she does. That's why you'll want to keep coming back to her because the pictures will be even better than the last time you had them done!!! I picked some of my favorites that she has taken in the last while for you to see below.

Well that's all I have for now. I know some of you may think "oh how cheesy"...well deal with it. I just wanted to let Brooke know how excited and proud I am of her!!! Love you babe!! --Jeremy

Baby #3

2008-05-24T19:20:00.000-06:00

We are pregnant!!! Well, for those who don't know, we have always told everyone we are pregnant through a Build-a-Bear. (the middle one is baby #3) We record a message in a recorder in the bear's arm. This one says: Dylan: Big Brother Austin: I am going to be a big brother! Dylan: I Wove you! Austin: I love you!

We are so excited! We thought we would start trying and as soon as thought came, we were pregnant! Austin comes in each morning asking where's the baby and if it's getting big yet! I am due in January. So I am telling everyone early. I'm not one to keep this type of a thing a secret.

They picked the bear!

The boys!

Austin stuffing the bear!

Dylan was scared of the machine so they have a button for the younger ones to step back and push.

Bathing the bear!

Austin wanted to sleep with his bear and the baby's bear.

SO STINKIN' CUTE!!!

Austin's New Bike!!!

2008-05-24T18:22:00.001-06:00

Over the last couple of years Austin has had a "Big Wheels" that he has absoultley loved. Today we went to visit his cousin Landon. He has just learned how to ride a bike with no training wheels. (Great job Landon!!!) On the way home Austin was quietly thinking when he said "I want to learn to ride a bike like Landon!" Well, here we are with his new Spiderman bike and Transformers helmet. He's loving it!!

Austin's Graduation

2008-05-22T15:41:00.000-06:00

Well today we had Austin's Graduation from Pre-school, even though he has another year. He did so good he remembered the words to the song's they sang.

Here are some pictures.

Some funny things the kids said during the year. Of course Austin had many but this one was one that stuck out to them!

Receiving his Certificate!

Austin and Grandpa!

Morgan and Austin.

This was Austin's teacher she is such a cute girl. She made a cute little Photo album of pictures that were taken of him during the year. She must have put a lot of time into it because there are a lot of pic's and filled with very thoughtful comments through out it.

This is the little girl he had a crush on!

Franco Photography

2008-05-21T10:22:00.000-06:00

I just wanted to let you know that I have made a blog for my photography. I have put the link over on the side. I will slowly be adding pics, this is just what I have to start off with!

One Lucky Mama!

2008-05-12T16:35:00.000-06:00

Well I have to brag about my cute little family. I woke up to my boys with these cards they made me. (with daddy's help)

This was Jeremy's

I thought it was pretty funny! Then he said some cute stuff inside.

I was so spoiled all day. Austin told me he was going to try to be good at church for me and he did a great job. It was funny to see him really try. I think it was a little tough for him to sit still the last hour. Then we went to Grandma Janet's and Grandma Cristina's and Jer let me relax while he dished up dinner and changed the diapers. It was a very relaxing day.

Then he really surprised me with this camera. I have been wanting this camera for a long time but it was just not the right time. This is how it came about. I was on line with my friend Melanie and we came across this Photographer on KSL that was getting out of the business. We called him up and went and picked up a lens for Mel. Well, I couldn't help myself but just drool over this camera he had. I came home thinking I would love to save up for this camera but obviously not now. Jeremy just told me Why not? I just can not believe how good he is to me and is always supporting me. The camera has double the megapixels then my last one (12.4), it takes 7 pics per second, and it has a lot more options. Some of it is over my head but hey I will learn. I love anything with photography. I've been messing around with it and I can't believe how amazing the pictures are.

It looks complicating huh?

I am a True Soccer Mom!!!

2008-05-10T09:47:00.000-06:00

Austin is amazing!!! He started soccer this last week. He did so good! We didn't know if he would get it but wow he just took charge and he made the first goal! After everyone gave him five for making the shot he turned to me and winked with a thumbs-up! I have to say he is the cutest and I love being a "Soccer Mom"! Here are some pic's, he is #13.

There he goes taking the ball from the green team!

He became a little timid as they cheered him on.

The Wink!!!

The Cruise

2008-05-02T17:02:00.000-06:00

Ok sorry I know a lot of you have been waiting to see are pics.

A couple of weeks ago we were on a cruise. Jer and I went to the Eastern Caribbean. We had so much fun and enjoyed our time together. It was our first time away from the boys. We were gone for 8 days. We went to St. Maartin, St. Thomas, and the Bahamas. Our friends, Danielle and Jeremy, came with us and we had so much fun with them. Here are some pictures of our vacation. (Sorry if my pictures scares you.)

The front of the ship heading out of St. Thomas

In the Theater room waiting for the show to start.

Our great skills of taking our own pic.

I had to take this pic for Austin (a sunken Pirate Ship)

Our skills again and the ship.

The Bahamas!!!

I realized I need to hide behind Jer!

Sending an email to the boys!

Photography

2008-04-11T12:07:00.000-06:00

I am so excited! I did it! I have been wanting to get a home studio to take pictures of kids. For those who don't know, I have been doing Photography for a while now mainly Weddings and family portraits, and I love it. I bought the studio a couple of weeks ago and I took pictures of Isabella Stark last Saturday. She is so cute! Thank you Tyler and Dannielle for letting me do her pictures. If anyone is interested I have decided to charge $40 and $15 for each additional child. I will take pictures until you are ready to be done. I will then sit down with you and add any effects that you would like, and when we are done I will give you a disc of all your pictures. If you are interested please email me at brookefranco@hotmail.com. Here are some of the pictures of Isabella.

2008-04-10T16:35:00.000-06:00

Jeff and Mallory's were married on March 22nd. We are so excited for them. Mallory welcome to the family. Here are some pictures from the reception. (sorry Jeff I didn't have any pic's of you.) Dylan was on amoxicillin (he had strep) and Jer was sick all day with a sore throat, I looked in his mouth and HOLY COW!!! He had it too. It made for a very long day and night.

Austin will smile for a cupcake.

Happy Birthday Buddy!

Dylan's Birthday

2008-04-09T21:02:00.000-06:00

We celebrated Dylan's Birthday a week early because Uncle Jeff and Mallory were getting married on Dylan's Birthday.

Grandma Cristina and Grandpa Rudy got him this picnic table. We kept it inside and had many meals on it until the weather was better. The boys love it!

Grandma Janet and Grampa Dean got him this fast car! Thanks Grandma and Grampa!

We got him a Little Tikes Climbing slide.

He loves Bubbles! Thanks Dan and Lynie!

Flirting with Aunt Brittany and Grandma!

He loved being the center of attention. He was able to blow out both of the candles!

I asked him if he wanted trains, cars, Elmo, or Spiderman and he always said "EMMOW!"

Ok every one, I went and got a Helium tank at Walmart for $20 bucks. It came with 30 balloons and we had the funnest time blowing up the balloons. I highly recommend it!

Easter

2008-04-09T20:10:00.000-06:00

For Easter we had a great time! Grandma and Grampa had us over the Friday night before Easter. We dyed eggs, frosted cookies, and went on a Easter egg hunt. Thanks Grandma and Grampa we had fun!

Austin counting his Eggs!

Dylan eating the frosting. Grampa tried getting a taste. He would offer it and hurry and put it in his mouth and laugh! (I wonder who he gets it from?!)

Grampa Dean, Dylan, Grandma Janet, and Austin

Dylan using his hand instead of the spoon.

Austin loved the dye!

Holy CRAP!!!

2008-03-07T18:03:00.000-07:00

Well we were out enjoying the nice weather at the park. Dylan was going down the slide and I was pushing Austin on the swing, when all of a sudden I heard this blood curling scream followed by silence and then the heart wrenching cry (every mom knows what I am talking about). You know when that happens it's not good. I ran over to him and half way there I could see the bump. It was a good thing that my two friends Danielle and Janie were there. They told me they would watch Austin as I took Dylan to the instacare.

All is well!! We are just in for a night. We are supposed to wake him every 2 hours and make sure he's OK. If he starts throwing up at any time, then we need to take him up to Primary Children's for a head scan. I think everything will be fine. Jeremy, Brad, and Uncle Jeff gave him a blessing. Wow....this is a bonk to remember!!!
