My Three Cubs!

My Three Cubs!
When we found out I was Pregnant Dustin asked if we could name our child after the Chicago Cubs. I laughed! When Gracie was born Mark Grace was so fitting for her. Beautiful Gracie. Not to mention the night she was born Mark Grace had one heck of a ball game. 2 Years later we had our Son. I struggled on what to name him. Randy said use a "D" name,” D-Hall just like his Dad". Tommy suggested the name Dawson. I loved the name Dawson immediately! Dawson-Andre Dawson that is. 2 years went by and we had another baby girl. I was having a name dilema because I didn't want to be restricted to a baseball roster. I loved the name Marlie and Ryan, Dustin suggested Ryne Sandburg! And there you have it Marlie Ryne Hall. Our Three Cubs!


I hope as soon as I get this first Blog posted I wont be so overwhelemed with creating a Blog...I hope! A few months ago I was at my Sweet friend Angi Pettersons house. She shared some of her Mom's diary with me. It really moved me! I have not stoped thinking about how neat it was that her Mother took the time to keep a journal. So, for my kids and my family this is my way to journal for you.


St. George Family Fun

September 19, 2008

St George, Green Valley




Pictures from our Balcony. I love Palm Trees.


Here is a Picture of the kids in the Giant Chair in Beaver. We stoped here for gas and Ice Cream cones along the way...




Finally we got to St.George. Randy, Melanee and the kids were already there. They Fly for Free so they flew down JERKS!




All the kids wanted to go swimming! They were un-packing and ripping off there clothes and changing into their swim suites...















Marlie was so cute. She was lining up all of her shoes and re folding all of her clothes into the drawers.

















Me and Melanee decided to take the kids swimming. Dustin and Randy went to get take out from my favorite place Pasta Factory!

Marlie walking to the pools...She is so cute!


When we got to the pools there were no swim towels there so Melanee went to the Condo to get some...


Melanee...Where are you?

She came back to the Pool and said she could not get the door to work. (The condo door had a electronic deadbolt, you type in the code and it opens) She left again and said she was going to go try it again.

A long while later I was getting a little worried. Wondering where Melanee was. Not to mention All the kids were running from one pool to the next. There were 4 pools in the swimming area. So I was trying to keep all the kids contained.


I looked up a bit later at the patio...There were strange people I didn't recognize sitting on the patio. I asked Riley if anyone else was coming, NO!... So I told all the kids they had to walk with me, we walked over under the patio so I could get a better look, It was hard to see because it was about 9:00 PM and dark. Me and all five Kids were starring in silence...Finally the people yelled down "Is This your Stuff?" Then Melanee came out onto the patio, with her hands in the air she yelled

"We are in the WRONG CONDO!"

Apparently we were supposed to be in 1631 and we were in 1630. The Door of the condo that the kids had nearly ransacked all their stuff in had been left open. Melanee had been shoving all the kids clothes in the bags and setting them outside the door. 1631 was on the top floor and opposite end of the building.

We got moved into our condo, It was actually a lot nicer! Bonus for us!

The next day we went to Sand Hollow for about 1/2 day. The boys were playing with their trucks...Dustin was building them a Giant race track.

Gracie is getting so old! She loves the lake! She goes FAST on the Tube with me, she water ski's. She is a character!

The kids wanted to swim again at the Condo. Gracie and Riley were doing Toe Touches and all sorts of tricks off the diving board...

Dustin Flipping too...
The boys were so cute...

Most of the time they have their nose plugged!




Nose Plugs!







THEN...IT TURNED INTO BACK FLIP OLYMPICS!


DUSTIN AND RANDY WERE THROWING THE KIDS IN THE AIR DOING BACK FLIPS!











Look at Gracie's Hair! MMMM More Yummy Take Out!


After we put the kids to bed we would sit out on the Patio, and talk. Me and Randy were going down Memory lane, talking about memories we had when My parents had a condo in Green Valley. Tandem Bike, Vic Braden Tennis Lessons, Tommy & Robby riding their Big Wheels on all the sidewalks, The Smell, K-2, Shuffle board, "The Club House" !



Every morning the kids went to the play ground...

HI DAD!




My Cute Son!











More Boating. More Wake boarding!







Sand Hollow was beautiful! Red Mountains and Red Sandy beach. We wake boarded, Tubed, Played on the beach. We even watched a bunch of kids cliff jumping for a while!

Check Dustin Out! I got a good Picture of him jumping the wake.










Randall landing a jump!










Dustin and Marlie Swimming in the Lake.










Captain Randy!






My GIRLS on the Tube with me. Marlie LOVES! the Tube. She would hold up her hand and say I want this many turns.





Back for More Swimming...







PIZZA AT THE POOL! THE KIDS WERE STARVING!



WE ALL SAT IN THE HOT TUBS FOR AWHILE...Ahhh!

The Holden family came to see us. I'm mad I didn't get a Picture of them and the new baby...What was I thinking? They are doing great! Jen is not working anymore and the baby is beautiful! Emily looks like she is 16. Davis and Jordan are the cutest little boys. We miss you guys!

St. George was so Fun! No one wanted to go home!

Take Me To The Races Dad...

Rocky Mountain Races September 13, 2008
Dawson has been asking Dustin to take him to the Race Track at Rocky Mountain Raceway for about a year...We always say we are going to go but haven't.
Grandma Connie got free tickets in the mail and gave them to Dawson...
He was so excited!
They had planned to go to the races for about an hour or so...THEY LEFT THE HOUSE AT 6:00PM...










Dawson liked the RED Race Car!
Dustin called and had me record the U of U football game...(The Utes were playing Utah State at Utah State) He said they were going to be a little longer that Dawson was having so much fun!



Dawson Still didn't want to come home...

This is a Picture of Dawson and Brandon Fowler. They saw the cute Fowler Family at the Races. Christy game him Cheetos.


Notice Dawson's EAR PLUGS! He was excited to tell me and show me his ear plugs when he got home.





DUSTIN AND DAWSON GOT INTO THE TRUCK TO COME HOME AT 11:00 PM!!

DUSTIN SAID TO DAWSON "Your Mom is going to be mad that you are getting home so late!" Dawson said to Dustin "Don't Worry Dad! I'll Tell her it we were in TRAFFIC!"

I love my Boys! Dustin is such a good Dad to the kids! He loves them a lot and is a really good Dad.
