Decided to attempt freezer jam, supposedly easy, what could go wrong?

Food processor helps make lighter work of the berries.

Birthday wishes

2009-01-23T11:57:00.001-08:00

At the end of the day, after co-oping in the pre school class with Curious George cupcakes, hosting a Go Diego Go! Jungle Safari party complete with pizza, cake, Pin the Badge on Diego, and a jungle safari through the house, the best part of a birthday, other than family and friends, is watching your precious little angel with sparkles in his eyes blow out his birthday candles and make a wish... and you hope and pray that they all will come true.

Go Diego Go! Jungle Safari 4th Birthday Party!

2009-01-23T11:40:00.001-08:00

Miss Aubree wearing the palm tree balloon as a very stylish necklace. A beautiful smile from Miss Emily in the background as well.

The poster on the wall was for the "Pin the Badge on Diego" party game. Just an FYI I traced him using an overhead projector, NOT that artistically talented, I wish!

Reed opening his birthday gifts, thank you so much to everybody!!

Birthday boy posing for a picture in his birthday crown.

Some of the party friends enjoying their pizza and soda, there were 8 friends total and trust me! that is more than enough for a 4 year old's party!!!

Reed's Birthday cakes

2009-01-23T11:32:00.000-08:00

This is the Diego face cake I made for the family to share. Thank you to my mother in law for lending me the food dye and all the tips and bags.

Brandon did the leaf edge around the base.

This is the jungle safari Diego cake I made for Reed's party with his friends.

I love cake decorating gels, they made the patch in the corner, the toys were from Reed's room! Ingenuity major, cost minor; well about the same as buying a cake but it's the thought right?!

Playdough Fun!

2009-01-23T11:21:00.000-08:00

Reed going crazy with Grandma's silverware.. shh!!! don't tell.

Daniel discovering that you can shove it into other things...fun!

Silly Reed...play dough is for kids.

What exactly is this stuff? I wonder what it tastes like.

Good ol' Reed...always ready for a "cheese" picture.

Mean Green Machine

Isn't he precious?!

At least this time whatever it is is going in his ear and not his nose!

Deep Fried Thanksgiving!

2009-01-23T11:10:00.000-08:00

Reed was so excited to try it...and it is delicious!

Here is our beautiful, slightly overdone deep fried turkey!

The men hard at work.

It smelled really weird while cooking, like the world's largest french fry fryer or something.

The hubby getting it all started.

Skiing!!!

2009-01-08T11:57:00.001-08:00

Check me out! We went night skiing and I did really good, only fell four times, and two were intentionally; not bad for a first-timer!

Me and the hubs on the lift, he convinced me to get off the bunny hill for my last run!

It was very cold and we were actually skiing blind for a while because the snow got in our eyes, very scary when you still don't quite know what you're doing. And of course it took hours to get home because we had to wait for the snow plow, no fun. late night but totally worth it!!

Sledding Fun!

2009-01-08T11:48:00.001-08:00

This is Reed giving mom a hand down the hill on our last run before leaving to head home

Reed after going down by himself! wasn't even scared.

Reed of course wanted to play on the playground too...kids.

Daniel had fun but got cold really fast.

Reed's Pre school Christmas show

2009-01-08T11:37:00.000-08:00

I can't remember what song they are singing right now, but he did a god job on all of them.

Then they all showed off the songs they have learned all year.

They danced around the room to a Christmas song ringing jingle bells.

They started the show with all the kids in his class "riding" in on a sleigh that they all helped to paint, Reed is the only one wearing the Santa hat.

Pretty fall leaves and colors...too bad it was so cold we could see our breath!!

Reed (and Nate) walking away. They collected leaves in those brown bags to make a craft.

Not sure why I picked this one, but here it is.

The only face shot of Reed I could get who was having too much fun running around the mountains collecting leaves.

Zoo Fun!!

2008-11-01T18:19:00.000-07:00

Reed and Kylee again in the truck.

Dinner Time Fun

2008-10-14T11:12:00.000-07:00

Nothing says "Thanks Mom" like licking the plate clean.

Big brother Reed of course wants attention too, so he shoved his face full.

The joys of Spaghetti night!

Cabin fever!

2008-09-09T11:32:00.000-07:00

Here we are all at Butterfly lake near the family cabin. We all fished, but for the most part I read; we ALL got burned.

Here's Reed with his new lightning McQueen fishing pole! thanks grandpa!

Reed Scott Broschinsky has OFFICIALLY broken the Broschinsky curse! He caught a fish!!! actually, we all did!

Every single person caught at least one fish, here are like ten of the twelve total we caught!! yeah for Newman genes! we broke it!!

Here's everyone (almost) and the fish! I was at the car and Brandon was taking the picture... Great times!!! and pretty good tasting fish too.

Here's Brandon and his dad either at the start or finish of their 100 mile (century) ride! based on looks I'd say the end?

Here's one of all the cyclists at the start.

Here's one of dad on the ride, can't see Brandon since he's the one taking the picture, obviously.

Here is the only part of the ride that had any kind of view worth taking a picture of, according to Brandon.

Park Pictures

2008-09-09T11:05:00.000-07:00

Okay, since I don't remember the real names...here's pretty view number one with two very pretty mountains.

Here's another pretty view of possibly the same mountains from another vantage point?

Here's a big tall mountain.

This big mountain I think is somewhere near the river we were playing in?

Again, somewhere near the river? sorry guys, can't remember everything!

Panguitch Vacation

2008-09-09T10:57:00.001-07:00

Here we are at the visitors center of Zions Park. Just hanging out in the grass while we wait for the shuttle.

Here we are playing down by the river in the park, lovely smell and lovely mud all over my boys! Grandpa taught Reed how to throw in big rocks, thanks dad!

Here Reed is throwing things in and splashing around.

Dad even let Daniel have some fun and play in the soft river bed dirt, and he ate it too! argh! Dads and Grandparents I tell yo what!

Bicycling Fun!

2008-09-09T10:35:00.001-07:00

Here is one of Brandon (Bones) somewhere out where they went mountain biking, pretty view!

Here's one of our dad coming down a crazy hill! I'm glad I don't see them riding, it would scare me to death! But at least they have fun.

Nap time Fun

2008-09-09T10:23:00.001-07:00

Gotta love this! When Reed is napping it's payback time! Big brother is so dead to the world that little bro Daniel can sit on him, crawl over him, even hit him and Reed is oblivious! and YES Mom lets him do it because big brother is sometimes not so nice so a little payback without knowing it is okay by me. Dad decided to catch this particular attack on camera.
Enjoy!

How Awesome!!!

2008-08-11T11:30:00.001-07:00

Check this out!!!! My older sister Linden and her son, Alex, visiting our baby sister Vaughn in Australia. They are in a store and check out the poster behind them!!! That is our Vaughnie!!!! I knew she was a model but here's proof for any of you doubters!!! I'm so proud of her!! Had to share it with the rest of my peeps. Enjoy!! If anyone wants to see more pictures of her various jobs just let me know. Also, look for her as an extra in the new TV series Starter Wife with Debra Messing, it's on USA network (I think) this fall!!!

Random Fun in July

My home made fruit bouquet, or "edible arrangement", took all day to make but was a big crowd pleaser! thanks to Shelley for the awesome vase.

Popsicle fun in the backyard, if only Mr. Daniel could learn to hold them by the stick!

Not a Birthday Without Cake!!

2008-07-26T19:58:00.000-07:00

Daniel's First Birthday!!

2008-07-26T19:50:00.000-07:00

Lots of presents for me!!

Not sure what this is but the box is cool!

Hey I can't eat these bananas?!

In the fine tradition of infants, he's more interested in the wrapping than the gifts.

Oh well! Life's a party as long as there's fun trash to play with! and hey, it's HIS birthday, right?

Lagoon

2008-07-26T19:40:00.000-07:00

Mom and Reed on the new Odyssey ride, which Reed rode six times that day! with different relatives.

He even went on several rides himself, big boy!!

Including his first ever bumper cars!!

Even Daniel got in on the fun (stationary fish :0) )

After NINE hours outside all day with rides, family, food, and fun, we were all very tired...some more than others.

Chef Reed

2008-07-26T19:35:00.000-07:00

Mom of course does most of the work!

But Reed gets in there at the end (when it's safe) and gets his hands dirty.

Nice and smooth... and yummy!

Father/Son Campout

2008-06-23T12:53:00.000-07:00

This past Friday was our Stake Father and Son Campout! Brandon took Reed, here he is in front of the tent! once they got to the right campgrounds (last minute changes)

Too bad he kept dad up all night with the tossing and turning!

Reed had fun playing in the dirt and of course, the smores.

Fun with Dad, next time we'll all go and there will be more pictures because mom won't forget to empty the memory card; oops!

Friendly fun on Base

2008-06-23T12:43:00.000-07:00

Our friends the Crowthers moved to Utah! Jason is stationed at Hill Air Force Base and we went to visit them! Here is us at the on base water park!! Cool shades miss Anna

Reed, Matthew, and Breanna taking a quick break

Mr. Daniel chillin in the shade with mom, wouldn't keep the hat on!

Reed and Breanna stepping on the streams of water as they shoot up, so much fun that day!

Swingset

2008-06-16T13:05:00.000-07:00

Reed helping dad build his swingset.

Brandon got plans off the internet for 25 bucks, bought all the wood, cut it to size, routed, sanded, etc.

The big day! trying to get the frame of the fort centered and level! took a few hours.

The slide is up and reed's not waiting!

When it's all said and done, your kids are worth the time, effort, and MONEY! plus we can swing too thanks to daddy springing for heavy duty bolts, hooks, swings, etc! Fun for the whole family.

Daniel Brandon

2008-06-16T12:53:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture of Daniel that is most recent at about 10 months.

Easter Fun!

2008-06-16T12:33:00.000-07:00

Reed and Daddy dyeing eggs for Easter.

Reed with his "Easter Bunny" basket, he loves that silly bug gun!

Daniel, in true babyhood form, liked the grass more than his new toys.

The boys sharing Daniel's new toy, didn't last long :0)

Reed's "Incredible" 3rd Birthday

2008-06-10T13:36:00.000-07:00

Reed has been obsessed with The Incredibles since we first bought the movie, so naturally he wanted a "Mr. Incredible Party". This was the ONLY Incredibles cake we could find at a Smith's bakery out in WVC, but worth it.

Reed and all his party guests wearing their Incredibles masks; the only party favor we could find with The Incredibles. They are also wearing the Incredibles T-shirts that Brandon MADE as party favors, let's hear it for T-shirt transfer paper!! and a devoted father :0)

Daniel couldn't be left out of all the fun!

Games included pin the mask on Mr. Incredible!

Reed loved all his presents including a BYU hooded towel (shown), super hero reversible cape, and a teepee! The party was a blast and FYI: 90 minutes is PERFECT for 3 year olds! plus make sure there's enough pizza, cake, and ice cream to hold out :0)

Reed's First Trip to the Zoo

2008-06-10T13:15:00.000-07:00

This is the whole family (at the time) on the Zoo train.

This is Reed and checking out all the animals in their homes, he loved watching the little scurrying ones.

Probably his favorite part of the whole zoo was the big black water fountain right inside the front door; Kids!

Here is our attempt at a group picture in those weird tubes on the hill, Reed didn't like it too much. If you want to see the animals; go to the Zoo yourself :0)

Our First Home

2008-06-09T14:29:00.000-07:00

We moved into our first home in November of 2005. It is 3 bedroom, 2 full bath, and of course meets Brandon's requirements of flat driveway for basketball and it even came with a hoop. We have done so much to this house inside and out it's not even funny. Basically everything from ceiling to floor (literally) in EVERY room except the master bedroom and laundry room; a lot of stuff. I'll try to put up pictures of all that as I find time and rechargeable batteries that work!
Brandon also built Reed a swing set including a fort with slide in the backyard. Anyone who owns their own home knows the joys and especially the sorrows of the experience!

So precious!

2008-06-08T20:42:00.000-07:00

Aren't these boys adorable!! Reed is 3 years old as of January 20th this year and Daniel will be 1 year old on July 22nd! Can't believe how fast they are both growing. Reed is a great older brother (most of the time) and Daniel is just the sweetest little thing; couldn't ask for a better baby! If only he hadn't discovered the stairs and that he can go up them. This is the most recent picture I have of our boys, only about a month or so old. It's like the bib says: If you think I'm (we're) cute you should see my daddy :0)

Here We Go!....

2008-06-08T19:10:00.000-07:00

Hello Everybody!
This is my first official blog entry!! to be followed by many many more along with family photos, etc to keep anyone who cares up to date on what's happening with the Broschinsky family! I finally decided to get a blog and join the rest of the technologically inclined world, but I still refuse to do myspace! although I do have facebook; so life's a trade off sometimes. Thanks to Trish, and all the others who kept asking me if I had a blog and telling me I should start one, this is for you guys! remember, YOU asked for it :0)
