ENVIRONMENTAL FAIR!

SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO BLOG. WE HAVE BEEN SUPER BUSY WITH THE NICE WEATHER HERE AND TRYING TO GET OUR YARD BACK TO NORMAL. TODAY THE STUMPS OF THE TREES WERE PULLED OUT. NOW, TOMORROW FORWARD WILL BE WORK, WORK, WORK! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN THIS YEAR AT THE ENVIRONMENTAL FAIR. I HAVE NEVER GONE BEFORE BUT NOW THAT MY SIS IS HERE AND SHE WANTED TO GO, WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN. WE SHOWED UP AND HAD A FREE LUNCH-YUMMY HOT DOGS! THEN WE WENT AROUND TO DIFFERENT VENDORS THAT WERE SELLING THINGS OR JUST GIVING ADVICE OR INFORMATION ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND KEEPING IT HEALTHY. IT WAS SUCH A NICE DAY AND WE HAD ALOT OF FUN. THANKS FOR PLAYING LINTVEDT'S! WE EVEN GOT A FREE FLOWER FOR GOING!

HERE IS HALLE, TREVOR, AND I WAITING IN LINE FOR LUNCH!

NO MORE TREES

SINCE WE MOVED INTO THE HOUSE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WE HAVE HAD A 7 TREES IN OUR BACKYARD THAT HAVE PRODUCED HUNDREDS OF BAGS OF NEEDLES. SINCE WE HAVE NOW DECIDED TO STAY IN THE HOUSE FOR A WHILE LONGER, WE DECIDED THAT IT WAS TIME FOR THE TREES TO GO SO OUR LAWN CAN GROW.
THE TREE ON THE RIGHT THAT HASN'T BEEN CUT DOWN YET WE LEFT THE TRUNK 8 FEET TALL SO WE CAN BUILD A KILLER TREE HOUSE FOR CUBBY.

THIS GUY THAT CUT DOWN THE TREES FOR US WAS PRETTY COOL. HE WOULD TASTE THE NEEDLES TO SEE THE EXACT SPECIES OF THE TREE, WHEN I FIRST SAW HIM DO IT I TOLD HIM HE WAS NUTS. HE DID A GOOD JOB AND NOW IT WILL BE OUR SPOT FOR A GARDEN.

DYEING EGGS WITH THE BERNT CLAN!

THIS PAST FRIDAY, JAREDS BROTHER TREG AND HIS GIRLS CAME UP FOR EASTER. IT WAS FUN TO SEE THEM AND THEY COULDN'T WAIT TO DYE EGGS. WE ATE PIZZA FOR DINNER AND HAD A GOOD TIME CHILLING WITH EVERYONE. BY THE TIME THEY DYED EGGS, HALLE WAS HOME IN BED BUT JARED DID SNAP SOME OF THE FESTIVITIES. OH HOW HALL WOULD HAVE LOVED IT!


ANNIE, BRIDGET, AND COLE DYEING THEIR EGGS!]
MORE DYEING OF THE EGGS! THE KIDS HAD A BLAST! REMEMBER WHEN THE LITTLE THINGS USE TO MEAN SO MUCH MORE!
GRANDMA AND ANNIE DECORATING CUPCAKES FOR THE HARTLEY EASTER GET TOGETHER THE NEXT DAY! SO CUTE!

I JUST LOVED THIS PICTURE OF BRIDGET WAITING FOR HER EGG SO PATIENTLY!

GRUMPY HANGING OUT AT THE COMPUTER~GOTTA LOVE IT!

I THOUGHT THIS PICTURE OF ANNIE AND JOHN WAS ADORABLE! THEY ARE BOTH CONCENTRATING SO HARD!

DYEING EASTER EGGS AND DINNER!

LAST WEEK WE WENT OVER TO MY SISTER'S HOUSE TO DYE EGGS. WE FIGURED THE KIDS WOULD HAVE FUN TOGETHER. OH THEY DID AND SO DID THE ADULTS. MY SISTER MADE A WONDERFUL MEAL, SHE WENT ALL OUT. SHE MADE WONDERFUL PINEAPPLE SMOOTHIES WITH THE REAL PINEAPPLE, CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE MAIN COURSE WAS CALLED. THE KIDS HAD A BLAST DYEING THE EGGS AND WE ALL HAD A GOOD TIME DANCING AROUND CRAZY TO MUSIC AND JUST HANNGING OUT. LOVED EVERY MINUTE. THANKS GUYS! (SORRY NO PIX, I TOOK SOME AND REALIZED I LEFT THE MEMORY CARD HOME!)

ORAL HERPES!!!

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING JUST FROM READING THE CAPTION-GROSS! I KNOW! LAST SUNDAY NIGHT, HALLE DIDN'T SLEEP WELL AT ALL, SO I THOUGHT SHE WAS COMING DOWN WITH ANOTHER COLD. MONDAY SHE WAS CUDDLY AND REALLY WHINY ALL DAY LONG. I LAID HER DOWN FOR HER NAP AND AFTER ABOUT A HALF HOUR, SHE WOKE UP SCREAMING. I CHANGED HER DIAPER AND WAS GETTING READY TO CALL THE DR WHEN I SAW 2 WHITE SPOTS ON HER TONGUE. I CALLED THE DR AND THEY SAID TO BRING HER IN, IN A HALF HOUR. I TOOK HER IN, SHE HAD A LOW-GRADE FEVER, AND WAS STILL WHINY AND CRYING. THEY DIAGNOSED HER WITH ORAL HERPES..AKA..KIDS HERPES. I GUESS MANY PEOPLE CATCH IT BEFORE 2 YEARS OF AGE. SHE PROBABLY GOT IT SHARING TOYS IN CHURCH. THEY GAVE US A COMBO OF BENADRYL AND MOTRIN FOR HER TO SWALLOW FOR 5 DAYS-IT WOULDN'T TAKE IT AWAY BUT IT WOULD NUMB IT SO SHE COULD EAT. SHE HAD BEEN IN SO MUCH PAIN SHE DIDN'T EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING UNTIL SHE HAD HER MEDICINE THAT AFTERNOON. WHAT IT IS, IS COLD SORES IN YOUR MOUTH AND THEY ARE BIG AND OUCH! NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE HAD A SLEEPLESS WEEK. JARED SLEPT ON THE COUCH DOWNSTAIRS TO GET SLEEP SO HE WAS WELL RESTED FOR WORK, AND HALLE SLEPT IN OUR BED FOR THE FIRST TIME AND LAST TIME EVER. FOR 4 DAYS, SHE WAS UP EVERY 1 TO THE MINUTE ALMOST. FINALLY, I CAN SAY, SHE IS BACK TO HERSELF, AND IT IS SO NICE. I JUST HATE WHEN SHE HURTS OR DOESN'T FEEL GOOD! LET ME JUST TELL YOU MOMS, I WOULD WISH THIS ON NOONE! IT IS HORRIBLE!

GIRL'S NIGHT!

LAST NIGHT WAS SO MUCH FUN! WHILE JARED WAS AT THE PRIESTHOOD SESSION OF CONFERENCE WE GOT TOGETHER WITH MY MOM, NANNY, NIKI, AND TREVOR. WE MET UP AT PERKIN'S AND HAD DINNER TOGETHER. AFTER THAT, WE ALL CAME TO MY HOUSE TO EAT PIE FROM PERKINS AND PUT THE KIDDO'S DOWN FOR BED. THEN WE WATCHED "SEVEN POUNDS" WITH WILL SMITH. IT WAS THE BEST MOVIE IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I WATCHED IT WITH SOME FRIENDS, BUT I HAD TO WATCH IT WITH THEM. WE HAD A GREAT TIME. IT IS SO FUN THAT WE CAN ALL GET TOGETHER NOW FOR GIRL'S NIGHT. NIKI HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN UTAH, NANNY IN OREGON, PLUS WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL ALL THE MEN ARE BUSY! IT WAS GREAT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT! WE LOVE ALL OF YOU GUYS AND ARE GLAD YOU CAME TO PLAY! (SORRY, I HAD TO USE THE BATTERIES OUT OF THE CAMERA FOR A REMOTE FOR THE MOVIE-NO PIX!)

CUB HAS A THING FOR DOGS, ANYTHING WITH FUR SHE WILL CALL A "DOGGY."
THIS WEEKEND WE ARE TAKING CARE OF FRITZ, AKA, JUAN CARLOS FOR MY PARENTS WHO WENT DOWN TO SLC FOR CONFERENCE. JUST A COUPLE OF PIX THAT I TOOK THIS MORNING.
I HAD TO TEACH HER REAL QUICK THAT YOU DONT HIT THE DOG IN THE HEAD, YOU NEED TO PET THE "DOGGY."

TONYA WAS MAD THAT I TOOK THE PICTURES BEFORE SHE HAD HER HAIR DONE, CUB DIDNT CARE AT ALL.

TRYING TO GIVE JUAN CARLOS A KISS.



BROTHER EYRING!

I JUST LOVE WATCHING CONFERENCE TWICE A YEAR. I AM THANKFUL AND WE ARE HONORED TO HEAR FROM OUR PROPHET AND LEADERS OF THE CHURCH. THEY MAKE EVERYTHING IN THIS HORRIBLE ECONOMY MAKE SENSE..(OK-AT LEAST BEARABLE!)I LOVE BRO. EYRING. HIS TALK MADE ME SOB LIKE A BABY BUT HE IS TRULY A GREAT MAN AND A GREAT EXAMPLE. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE MANY MORE TALKS IN THE UPCOMING SESSIONS BUT I HAD TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE HOW MUCH I LOVE THE SPIRIT OF CONFERENCE AND THE FEELING I GET AFTER WATCHING SUCH GREAT MEN AND WOMEN OF THE CHURCH! AND, IT IS SO NICE JARED HAD THE DAY OFF SO WE COULD WATCH IT AS A FAMILY!
