What We've Been Up To The Last 3 Months...It's a lot to read but it's worth it!

2010-09-03T12:40:00.000-07:00

Wow, it has been a long time since I really updated my blog. Over the last 3 months a lot has happened in our little family. Back in June, we moved from Page, Arizona to Boulder City, Nevada. That's only 4 miles from Las Vegas, for you geographically challenged (heehee). Yes, for all concerned, we are out of the teeny tiny camper and into a real house!!!Trenity got a great job opportunity flying a bigger plane for a small local airline. He mostly flies scenic tours over the Grand Canyon. I gotta say he has an AMAZING view from his office every day!!

I also started working again. I haven't worked in over 10 years. Back in May I decided to get back in shape (not just lose weight) and get certified again as a lifeguard and WSI swim instructor. I worked at the pool back in the day for 8 years and I really wanted to get back into it. So I started swimming 1000 yards a day to get ready for my lifeguard class. And trust me, I FELT IT! But I survived, got stronger, and passed my class with flying colors! After we moved, I continued to get my teaching certs and now I work at the Boulder City Pool both guarding and teaching. Back in June I found out I was pregnant and started planning for our 5th child, but it was not meant to be. I had a miscarriage a month later which was really tough on every member of our family not just me. But life goes on and we are doing better now. Maybe we will try again someday but for now we are content to wait. Before the pregnancy and the lifeguarding I had been working hard to lose weight and reach my pre-baby size again. I had already made lots of progress when I started my swim program for my class (which is how I could even dream of doing such a thing!) The pregnancy set me back for a couple months (regaining some weight too) but I am happy to announce that as of my birthday on September 1st........drum roll please.......I have reach my pre-baby weight!!!!!!! Not just from the last one but from ALL 5! YEA!!!!!!! But now that I have reached some level of normalcy for myself in the body realm I have become greedy and have decided, "WHY STOP THERE?" So as of yesterday I decided to take the Jillian Michaels' 30 DAY SHRED CHALLENGE. I bought the home workout DVD (only $9) and started shredding. My goal...lose 15-20#s more and get toned in 30 days! It's an ambitious goal I know but I just lost 20#s in the last 2 months since the miscarriage on an easy diet with mild to moderate exercises 3-4 times a week. If I continue my already successful diet (I've lost over 50#s!!) and bump up the exercise to Jillian's 30 Day Shred DVD 6 times a week on top of swimming a half mile 2-3 times a week when I'm at work.....YOU DO THE MATH! I CAN DO IT! So check back because I WILL be filling everyone in with updates!

Besides that, the kids are back in school. They just started on Monday this week and they are having a great time already. They all love their classes and teachers and Mom is happy with the schools here! New for us this year-Joselyn started Kindergarten and Natalia has moved up to Middle School (6th). Actually it is called Junior High here! Ugh...she too old way too fast! Harley is in 4th. And they are each in a different school! Crazy crazy crazy! So it's just Canyon at home with Dad 2 mornings a week when I work and with mom the other days. Daddy even got to get all those girls ready for their first day of school alone. I had to work at 6am. I am proud to report they were all on time to their buses, they had everything they needed, and they all looked great right down to fancy hairdos! He is the best Dad! He even followed Jossi's bus to school to take her to class and get pictures. What a guy!

O, and by the way, we got some new family pictures taken!

Whew! What a full life. We are so blessed and wouldn't have it any other way!

DISNEYLAND!!!

2010-05-01T11:11:00.000-07:00

After 5 years of hoping, 3 years of saving (the kids too), and 6 months of planning...we just had the best family vacation ever!!! We took the kids to Disneyland for the first time ever. At 11, 9, 5, and almost 2 years old they were at the perfect age to enjoy all the magic that Disneyland has to offer!

We stayed at the fabulous Dolphins Cove Resort. Compliments of Grandma Bergstrom and her wonderful travel club. Without this generous gift this trip never would have been possible this year. We love you grandma. Thank you for making our dreams come true!

April 25-29, 2010.

Sunday-We left home with excitement in our hearts to stay in Las Vegas with Trenity's brother Heath. The kids got to visit some cousins and we only had a 4 hour drive the next day.

Monday-Up a 4:30 a.m. too excited to sleep in we got ready and headed out by 6 a.m. so we could have almost a full day at the park. I called ahead and was able to get the only room available for early check in so we didn't have to leave the park after 4 or do it all at 10 p. m. when we were tired from the park. Yea for mom!! So by 10:30 a.m. we were all settled into our hotel with cribs and couch bed ready for that night and off to the park! This was the most crowded day we had at the park but we still had a wonderful time! We collapsed into bed at 11 pm with smiles on our faces.

Tuesday-Up at 6 a.m. for our Magic Morning early entry into the park one hour before the park opens to the rest of the public. All day at Disneyland can be very exhausting but somehow we managed with energy to spare. Good planning on mom's part kept the kids happy, the lines short, the snacks coming, and the budget intact, without missing out on anything. The kids still got souvenirs, ice cream, cotton candy, and a picture from splash mountain. We even ate our meals in the park and didn't break the bank. Including a fabulous character dinner on Wednesday with amazing food. Joselyn even went on Splash Mountain twice! At 5 years old that is saying something. She was fearless! And can I just say INDIANA JONES!!!!!!!!!! DON'T MISS THIS RIDE NEXT TIME YOU GO...in fact go on it over and over again (and use Fastpass!) Hands down my new favorite...after Dumbo the Flying Elephant of course!

So at 11 p.m. we once again collapsed into bed after a nice hot soak in the tub for our tired feet.

Wednesday-Slept in an extra hour today. Whew! We planned on spending half the day at Disney's California Adventure Park and the other half back at Disneyland. But we were having so much fun that we stayed right to closing time at 7 p.m. before heading over to Disneyland for the rest of the evening. Almost NO lines today! The Soaring over California ride was amazing! We got soaked on the Grizzly River Run.

The girls wanted to ride the biggest scariest roller coaster in the park and did...over and over again!!

We ate an amazing dinner at Ariel's Grotto and met 5 princesses.

And Canyon couldn't get enough of King Triton's Carousel..."Fishies!!!"

After closing we headed over to Disneyland one last time for 3 more hours of fun. Rode all the rides we thought we were going to miss and some of our favorites one more time. We all got to spend the last of our personal souvenir funds and we stayed late enough to miss the last shuttle to our hotel and had to walk back (less than one mile but grueling with tired feet). But in the end everyone was happy anyway.

Now that we have been home for 2 days I am happy to report my feet have recovered and I even unpacked already. Quite an accomplishment for anyone who knows me!

What an amazing trip. I have 90 picture posted on my facebook photos so go check them out. I'll just put a few highlights here!

Love,

The Fullmers

ZION NATIONAL PARK WITH GRANDMA AND KEITH

2010-02-25T09:57:00.000-08:00

In September Grandma and Uncle Keith came down to vacation in Saint George for a couple weeks of much needed rest and relaxation (this was right after mom's worst time with her brain issues). The kids and I were able to come up for a weekend to play with grandma at her hotel and the next weekend before they went home, we were all able to meet at Zion's National Park for a day of fun.

Standing in front of the Three Patriarchs (from left to right Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) Most the peaks in the Park have biblical names or significance.

We went on a couple really short hikes. This was the beginning of out biggest one which took one hour round trip.

The kids loved exploring the neat geological features of the park.

A very short hike at the end of the day brought us to this little waterfall.

We had a GREAT TIME!!!

THE GRAND CANYON WITH THE COLEMANS

2010-02-25T09:25:00.000-08:00

In July Jenny and the kids stayed with us for a couple days on their way home to Texas from there summer vacation in Idaho. We went to the Grand Canyon (less than 2 hours away) and had a great time. Unfortunately Trenity had to work that day and couldn't come with us but we live close enough to take him later.

I wish I could put all the pictures on here but there's too many. We saw ancient Indian ruins, the kids all earned there Junior Ranger Badges, and we saw the Canyon from every angle (even at Sunset!)

The Watchtower at Desert Point. We had fun climbing up to get our first view of the Canyon from the top!

Goofing around after our picnic lunch.

Getting sworn in as Junior Rangers. They had to complete lots of fun educational activities about the Canyon's geology, wildlife, and history throughout the day to earn these. They had a blast and learned stuff too!

Sunset!

Canyon at the Grand Canyon!!! And both Canyons are just as AWESOME!!!

Lions, and tigers, and DINOSAURS?...Oh MY!

2010-02-25T08:59:00.000-08:00

This area is rich in dinosaur history and fossils. The kids have had a great time discovering all our local treasures and Trenity and I have had fun finding so many wonderful free things to do with the family!

This is at the museum in Big Water just 10 minutes north of Page. It's a small museum/ranger station for the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) and the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.

These dinosaur tracks are not from any museum. We found these still out in nature! We'll the tour guide showed us anyways. We thought they were just as cool as if we'd discovered them ourselves. There were huge chunks of the rock cut out in sections where scientists have removed the best tracks to display in museums around the world, but these ones were left behind.

Dilophasaurus tracks. This is a smaller dinosaur only 15 feet tall, 30 feet long, and 1500 pounds (I still wouldn't have wanted to run into one). There were hundreds of these tracks. We could see adults and tons of babies running around. Sometimes the claw marks were very defined it was pretty cool.

The T-Rex! I wish I had a picture of this one with a kid in it so you could see just how big it was.

Fossil bones by the track area.

LONE ROCK BEACH

2010-02-25T08:42:00.001-08:00

In July and August this beach is stacked five deep with camper trailers and families right to the waters edge. But the rest of the year we can enjoy a semi private beach.

We had a campfire weinie roast this evening and had the entire beach to ourselves!

Canyon's absolute favorite place. He could play in the sand for hours.

LIFE ON LAKE POWELL

2010-02-24T08:54:00.000-08:00

One of our favorite things to do on the lake is to go swimming at Antelope Point. There's always a private cove just for our family with lots of fun rocks to jump from and snorkling.

Canyon is a climber and he loves it here. I however have to watch him like a hawk so he doesn't get himself into trouble because he can climb really high sometimes.

LOTS OF PICTURES COMING!

2010-02-24T08:47:00.000-08:00

So the other day I FINALLY got around to downloading my camera pictures onto my computer. There were over 1400 pictures. I did not add a lot to my blog last year because I did not have these pics off of my camera but look out now because here they come! These next several blog posts may be late but better late than never. So here is what our family was up to last spring until now. Enjoy!

Online and Open for Business

2010-02-15T20:57:00.000-08:00

As most of you know, along with being a terrific pilot, Trenity is also a Flight Instructor. But what most of you don't know is that he is also an online entrepreneur. He just started his very own online Flight Training website. We just launched Phase One a few days ago and are currently working on the next phase. It is a work in progress and will eventually host complete online ground school training courses to fully accompany any local flight training and count towards receiving a pilots license. Check us out at flighttrainingnow.com. And wish us luck for a profitable venture!

Since we are on the subject of aviation, I thought I would add some more photos of what Trenity loves about his job!

How many of you would love to see this kind of view even once? Trenity took these at work one day. The other plane you see is his buddy Derrick who also flys with him on the tours. In fact Derrick was one of Trenity's first students when he worked for the flight school in Cedar City. We love seeing his own students suceed at getting jobs flying and loving it.

2010-02-01T20:15:00.000-08:00

I realize it has been ages since my last update and this one is kinda old too but here is a view of our new hometown of Page, Arizona (Lake Powell). We have lived here for about 9 months now and I have still not updated any pictures from our time here. But these are definately better than a poke in the eye right?

I am enjoying the mild winter. It's a big change from Idaho. We have had some snow but it never lasts long and usually it is in the low 40s. It's sunny almost everyday.

The kids are doing great. Harley just started playing basketball for school. Natalia chose to wait till spring to play softball. Canyon is starting to talk up a storm tho i'm sure that the mom translation is still very much needed, and Joselyn is having a blast playing the new Wii that Santa brought us for Christmas when her sisters are at school and she doesn't have to fight for a turn (don't worry, I got her educational games like Jumpstart Pet Resscue and Big Brain Academy).

Trenity and I are keeping busy with a few new projects. Trenity has a full time security guard job at the Dam and is flying lake tours on the weekends. The flying will pick up to full time again in a month or two when the tourism picks up again. In his free time he is designing a new web site for flight training materials and online ground school courses that he will teach. And that leaves me. I keep busy with the kids of course but I've decided to try my hand at writing, a novel that is. But don't hold your breath it will probably take me 5 years to write it at this rate. But who knows mabey it won't be too terrible in the end.

So that's us for now and hopefully it won't be so long before our next update.

Love, Us =)

2010-01-25T14:32:00.000-08:00

Here is the Dam that creates Lake Powell What fun every should come visit and play at the lake!!!!

Canyon's Spotlight!

2009-06-12T10:50:00.000-07:00

Finally I am getting back to my blog! We need to spotlight "The Boy" so here goes. After a family of all daughters we were thrilled to add this little cutie to the fold!

Just look at his Cuteness!! Canyon Lee Fullmer-born July 8, 2008, is just about to celebrate his first birthday. He is already showing all the personality traits of a true boy. He's rough and tough, he love's to climb up on everything dangerously high, and he growls! Gggrrrrr.

One of his favorite things to do is go swimming but he prefers the beach by far! He loves to play in the sand. He always has crazy hair up in every direction. And we all call him "The Captain".

He is definately his momma's boy! After three girls who are DEFINATELY daddy's girls I don't mind one bit. All his sister's 1st words were dada, but not this boy. His first words were Bob- which probably shouldn't count for more than jibberish because he does not know a Bob, then Mom (not mama-just mom), then Yes. We still haven't got to dada yet.

Hold your horses but don't hold your breath!

2009-04-15T13:02:00.000-07:00

Okay I realize it has been ages since I have posted an update. This is just a small note to say that it will probably be a few ages more as we are currently crazy here trying to move to Page Arizona. Trenity will be flying tours over the Grand Canyon till November so off we go to the sunny south! Canyon's spotlight coming soon I promise!

Joselyn's Spotlight

2009-01-23T12:35:00.000-08:00

Joselyn Belle Fullmer. Age 3. Birthday- March 25, 2005.

Jossi is my girliest girly girl! She loves all things princess and baby dolls.

She loves to go swimming, play with her cousin Trevan, take care of her baby brother Canyon, and go to Grandma's house whenever possible!!! In fact she prefers Grandma's (Bergstrom and Fullmer BOTH) to home.

...did I mention she love baby dolls...
...and her brother!!!!!!!!!!!! When Canyon was born I was worried that Joselyn would be the jealous sibling type because she is very much the center of attention type. However she surprised us all by loving that little boy more than anything!

Swimming

2009-01-03T13:07:00.000-08:00

We went swimming for my nephew Trevan's 3rd birthday. It was also Canyon's first time at the pool...

...I think they all had fun what do you think?!

Christmas in Bethlehem

2009-01-03T12:47:00.000-08:00

Our Ward Christmas Party this year was a large Christmas in Bethlehem production. For any of you who might not have done one before they are a lot of fun. We decorate the church like the streets of Bethlehem when Christ was born. There are a lot of shops to visit like the deli, butcher, baker, dress shop, toy maker, etc. And by the end we are visited by sheperds and wise men as the Savior is born in the stable. I was in charge of designing and running the main food booth for the ward dinner.We all get to dress up in native costumes.

Grandma Bergstrom had lot of great costumes for us to borrow.

Including Trenity's authentic Beduin robes and my skirt and headress that she bought in Jerusalem.

Canyon was the best dressed baby of the evening.

Christmas Tree Hunting

2009-01-03T12:31:00.000-08:00

We finally got to go Christmas Tree hunting again this year! We love taking the kids up into the mountains to find our tree. Canyon opted to stay in the truck.

Of course we couldn't go without getting stuck! That would break tradition right? Oh well...Tire chains to the rescue!

The girls had fun playing in the snow.

And finally we find our tree...and of course like most years it is after dark. I like how Harley is weilding a large ax in this picture above Natalia's head. That can't be safe!

Harley's Spotlight

2008-12-10T13:43:00.000-08:00

Time to spotlight my Harley Jean! Birthday November 6th, 8 years old.

Harley's proudest accomplishment recently was getting baptized this year. Her dad and I gave her brand new scriptures for her birthday. I will often notice that I haven't seen Harley in a while and go looking thru the house for her. I will find her in her room reading her scriptures and marking passages.

I've been to a lot of baptisms before but there was something special about this one. Harley lead the music for the songs during the baptism and when she was standing up front I had a small "vision" in my head of her wearing another white dress someday in the temple.

Harley loves to collect anything that is ittsy bittsy. If she can shove it in her pocket, purse, backpack, or anything it must be taken home and saved in hundreds of very small boxes. Consequently we have lots of random rocks, shells, bottle caps, doodles, etc, etc, etc...even broken toy bits, or glass. I try to go through it all on occasion and throw out the broken useless stuff. Usually she doesn't even notice.

Harley also loves to be a big sister. She climbed into bed to read a story to Canyon. I don't think she finished it before she fell asleep. I don't think you can hear it in the video but she was snoring loudly as Canyon just played happily. She can fall asleep in 5 minutes every night and she ALWAYS snores loudly. I wish I could fall asleep like that...without the snoring.

Natalia's Spotlight

2008-10-21T14:32:00.000-07:00

Monday, DECEMBER 1, 2008
Natalia Jade Fullmer-9 years old-Birthday April 2. This girl is growing up so fast. I was looking at her yesterday and I just realized that she is loosing her little girl look and turning into a raving beauty! I pointed this out to her dad and he looked at her for a moment, frowned, and said "we'll just start feeding her only Twinkies". I thought that might work but I'm not sure it's a good idea to mess with her health. I think we could just lock her in the closet when the boys start calling.

...these are a few of my favorite things (sung like Julie Andrews)....Natalia's absolute favorite food is watermelon! She loves to swim and ski. She also LOVES to sing and play musical instruments....And her favorite person in the whole world...her brother Canyon! I know what your thinking..."Can that be true?!?! I thought it was her Daddy!". Alas yes, he has been bumped down to #2 by this adorable little bundle. I wonder though how long that will last as he grows into the "annoying little brother".

Cindy's Spotlight

2008-10-21T14:18:00.000-07:00

Wednesday, NOVEMBER 26, 2008 (apparently the auto date takes effect when you upload the photos, not when you actually post.)

Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!! I FINALLY HAVE INTERNET AGAIN!!!!! For those of you who don't know or just didn't realize, I have been Internet poor for 4 weeks because of our recent move. But all went well and we are now settled back in Driggs, Idaho AGAIN.

So on to the Cindy spotlight! First and foremost I love being a mom! My children bring me more joy than I can verbalize. They also however bring me more frustration than I think any human should have to endure (on occasion). But what makes life great is that I CHOOSE to remember and dwell on the JOY!!!I don't know where Joselyn was when we took this picture but I love it so we'll just have to do without her in this one! But just know I love her anyways, and yes I do have one more! This picture is for you Mom, I know you wanted one of Canyon in the outfit from the Azores.
My second love as most of you know are my horses! It's not a close up but here they are in a great picture that includes the beautiful Teton Valley mountains (famous Teton peaks excluded of course). This is 6 of the 8. My personal horse is Justice. He is in the middle looking at me take the picture. Trenity's horse is Moose Love and she is the sweetest (also Justice's mother). Pepsi belongs to Nick. The rest belong to Trenity's dad. They're named Will Power, Tasha, Sunday, Red Dawn, and Lightning Suzie.
Me and my girls just goofing around.

Actually my first and greatest love would be for this goofball right here!! I don't think any other wife ever loved her husband so much!! And that's because no husband was ever so good to his wife! He still tells me every day how much he adores me and spoils me rotten! So to the horror of some of our family and friends (for blush the factor) after almost 11 years we still feel like newlyweds!

Trenity's Spotlight

2008-10-21T13:08:00.000-07:00

So I thought I would do a spotlight post on each member of our family. Trenity is the best dad in the whole world!! Just ask the judges!

By FAR Trenity's favorite thing to do in the world is fly!! Look how happy it makes him. :D
This is a shot of the Indian Creek Airstrip. When Trenity worked for Salmon Air in Salmon, Idaho he got to fly the back country mountains of the Frank Church Wilderness Area. This tiny little airfield (gray line to the lower left of the lake) was his favorite to fly into. Due to the surrounding mountains you couldn't approach the runway from straight on at a low altitude. He had to do a maneuver I call "The Swirly of Death" (actual name Steep Spiral) to loose altitude almost directly over the runway for his landing.

This Cessna 310 is the plane that Trenity did his Multi-engine certification in. He LOVED this part of his training!

Ask And Ye Shall Recieve

2008-10-15T09:43:00.000-07:00

Back by popular demand! Here is an updated photo of our growing boy (3 months old-This picture was taken Oct 13th). Isn't he just adorable!! Tia Lysa gave him these pooh toys. He LOVES them! He will snuggle with them for an hour if you let him and still not get bored.

Just as a side note, I just downloaded my digital camera pics from the last 4 months. So I will be posting some stuff that is old but you'll like it anyway.

Scarry!

2008-10-15T09:25:00.001-07:00

So this is what my girls looked like this summer after 1 week of camping with swimming lessons twice a day with their grandma Fullmer. Yes this is the condition they were returned to me in. (I didn't go with them because I was 9 months pregnant at the time.) I unreasonably expected that their grandma would at least give them a bath the night they returned to civilization before driving home to me. Silly me!!

A mother's JOY!!

Little Coach

Jossi does not like to be left out of anything! So when Dad goes running she has to go too! I don't know how much exercise Trenity gets at this pace but it has to be better than nothing right!

GETTIN' FIT

2008-10-08T16:03:00.000-07:00

So as many of you know, Trenity is whipping himself into shape for his "Agency" physical fitness testing. I have delightedly jumped on board as his workout buddy and personal coach!! Maybe we'll get in shape together. It seems to be a popular theme lately. Jen, Us, Marilee, even Gabe (of course he's probably already fit). So we found a good workout that was manly enough for Trenity to do (apparently my "Bounce Back After Baby" video had a little too much estrogen for him!). TAE-BO with Billy Blanks. We love it! EXTREMELY HARD!!!!!!!!! But awesome!! Good Luck to all of you that have fitness as a goal on your blogs. And wish us luck too, Trenity will probably be alright but I'm going to need it.

So I thought I would add this so you could see what our goal is. This is the official scoring for the "Agency" test. Click this link to see the scoring scales http://www.fbijobs.gov/11131.asp#1 You need a minimum of 12 points to pass the test. We did a practice test to see where we were at. IT WAS NOT PRETTY!!! I don't have the guts to tell you our scores! I recommend testing yourselves just for fun. It gives you a great way to measure your progress in a FITNESS way, not just looking at the scales or inches. If we can score a 12 on this test I think we would all be pretty healthy! Skinny is great for us girls, but I know I'm more interested in GOOD HEALTH! And if I retest periodically I will be able to see my # slowly rising and that's always an esteem booster that helps you recommit and keep going!

Tether!

2008-09-24T16:36:00.000-07:00

Natalia is very proud of the fact that she was 2nd place tether ball champion of her old school. It was a big deal at recess when they 'competed'. So one day when we were picking the girls up from school she challenged Daddy to a game. We quickly discovered the secret to her success. Apparently nobody knew how to play it with the Rules. Anyways...as a parent shouldn't you 'let' your child win??? Trenity felt a little too gratified in completely SMASHING a 9 year old little girl in competition with a huge smile on his face. Hee Hee!!!
