Alero came home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yahoo!!!!!! Alero has returned!!!!! The police found her this morning around 3:30. She had been abandoned near a field a couple of miles away from our house. I shouldn't have been surprised, but I was when I opened the car doors and everything was gone! THE NERVE OF SOME PEOPLE!!! HONESTLY...I JUST DON'T KNOW (that's for you Marci) WHAT IS WRONG WITH SOME PEOPLE!!! Our new carseat (walmart $70ish dollars) and our other car seat base ($40) were both gone, along with my ipod, Jeremy's National Champion medal, baby pictures of Jer, all of my CD's (that I hardly listen to anyways), diaper bag, and the ADORABLE toys Jena just gave Austin (drum and cash register). We opened the trunk and couldn't believe that everything was still in there (dumb thieves, didn't even look in the trunk). Jeremy's bat bag, wedding ring, and golf clubs were in there along with Austin's stroller.

IF YOU ARE READING THIS THIEF...We took it all out now, so don't even bother coming back for more.

Also...if you are reading this thief, that means you are most likely my friend, and that is WRONG!!!

Well, we are pretty sure that there was a spare key in Alero, which creeps me out because that means the thief still has access to our car. We are going to have to get the locks changed, but that is probably a ridiculous price. (Insurance will not cover that).

Oh yeah, when Jeremy tried to drive away, there was NO power steering. Luckily we had some power steering fluid in the trunk so we filled it up and the car drove better, but it is leaking! Insurance should cover that though, since the car was fine before it was stolen. The only thing inside the car the insurance will cover is car seats, with a $100 deductible, which is about how much the car seats cost. So pretty much, WE GOT JIPPED AND ROBBED AND yeah, thanks for listening.

Alero was KIDNAPPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep your eyes open for her! She has a dent on the left side of the front bender. She has a STE sticker on the rear windshield. License plate Utah Z12 3KM.
(at least we got a picture of the perpetrator)
and also, we got a very cute rental car. HURRY HOME ALERO! We miss you!

p.s. this is not a joke

Colby and Austin

Colby 15 months. Austin 10 months.

It was not easy keeping hats on those two boys!

Idaho Falls, ID

Our next week of vacation was spent in Idaho Falls. I don't know if it was much of a vacation for Jeremy because he spent most of his time working. Look what he did...He had three days to finish this and he worked in the dark each night to get it done on time. HE'S AWESOME!!

Check out what we did for fun!!!! Rode in the tractor trailer and had baby shadow wars.

dang, you can barely see this video. It showed up a lot better on my camera. I got a video of Hailey and Brandon "shadow kissing" but you can't even see that one at all on the computer.

More pics of Oregon

THE BEACH!!!!!!!!!!
We took Ryan and went to the coast at Lincoln city. We ate at Mo's. I love Austin's scowl!

I was trying to get a picture of Austin's first tooth, but you can't really see it. It is the bottom front-right tooth.


It was really windy and FREEZING!!!

Yahoo, we are finally back home!!

Jeremy and I took a two week vacation! We went to Oregon for the first week for the National fastpitch softball tournament. It was awesome! Jeremy's team won the "B" league. Last year they won it in the "C" league. We will see what happens next year, maybe the "A" league!

Ryan came to most of the games and helped out with Austin a TON! I was nervous about going to a tournament by myself with such a wiggle worm, but Ryan took Austin on walks and played with him so that Austin was entertained and I could watch the games. Here the umpire was asking Ryan if the bat was legal! haha. Ryan loved being a part of the team and wished he could have played out there with Jeremy. Ryan also got to drive his favorite car, a "Dodger" (Dodge Charger).

These pictures are for Ryan:
