Vintage high chair

My little helper :)



This was a garage sale find today and so I decided to paint it and am going to try to sell it on Craigslist for more. We shall see if I can. I got a pair of chaco sandals for .75 cents. That was the real find today. Yeah!!! I think I have good luck when it comes to chacos. I found a pair of chacos at a trail head in Zions and left them there for 3 days and came back and they were still there so I kept them and gave them to my brother who still wheres them. Anyway, good day yard sales!!~

MX bike for the boys

This was my garage sale find with my sister in law Tonya. We were really lucky to find such great stuff that day. I got this MX bike for $5. The pedals were pretty worn down so I got paint sticks adn cut them back duck tape adn electric tape and violla I have new pedals....Kinda.:) Everything else is in really good condition. I put the training wheels on this morning too that came with the bike. It feels good to have found something good for my boys for cheap. :)

Jarvis Family Reunion 2010

We went to the Snake River Stampede rodeo Matinee on Saturday and kids 12 and younger are FREE. It was so much fun and the kids really enjoyed it and had fun hanging out with the family and enjoying the horses and steers and bulls and cowboys and the "ghost riders". So much FUN!


This is Gideon after eating some dinner at the Lake and he was "lounging"

Bridger fell asleep on the boat ride back into the inlet and Gideon and I swam while he slept.

We jumped off the back of the boat and swam, around. Gideon LOVED it! As soon as Bridger jumped in he said owey owey for "this is cold" It was funny :)

This is my sisters girl who was having fun eating the sand :)

This is us Tubing and having fun on the lake together

Gideon and his cousin Ashlee

We made family crests for fun and this is mine. It was a lot of fun to create symbalism within it.

The dragon reminds me of Saphira from the Eragon series which i just finished reading and I can't wait for the 4th to come out :)

The dragon = Valian defender
The crown on the top of the dragons head = honor
red = warrior/military strength
blue = strength and loyalty
green = hope and loyalty in love
gold = generosity
horse shoes = good luck
green 5 leaf clover = hope and joy
The shield symbols
Joseph's = the military belt going straight across shield
Gideon's = the knights scarf going diagnal across the shield. Ryder means Knight.
Bridger's = the V symbol mean Bridge Builder which Bridger means
Camille's = upside down V = roof of house (temple worker) faith ful service and protection which Camille means
three stars across the knights scarf is the constellation Orion for Bridger's name

I have a question for everyone..... If you were able to go and visit Europe, what would you do and where would you go? I would love to find out more about Europe and all the favorite places to go. I am creating a bucket list for Europe in a way. I will be in Germany for 3 years and I feel like that would be enouph time to go and visit a few places. Let me know what you think!! Thanks~

Valiant class 9 summer party

This is a picture of the boys who cam to the party minus one, he left a little early.

So we have a Sunday school class (me and Stacie Bigler) of 12 boys and 2 girls. You can imagine what that is like so as an incentive I have a small jar that we have been filling up with beans each time they bring their scriptures, do homework assignments from the previous week, participate, have a good attitude and anything else worthy of a bean. We started doing this incentive program because the class was way out of control and as soon as we introduced a jar of beans for good deeds and the reward of a party when the jar was full they shaped up and have been a very good class and have learned a lot. So when they got the jar of beans filled up we decided to have a party at (my parents house) We had stick pull, water balloon volleyball, water fights with buckets, which they thought it was fun to soak sister Jones with :) and an Ice cream party. It was a ton of fun. Stacie is moving at the beginning of August and I am done at the end of August. So they will be splitting the class and getting new teachers. It has been a fun summer getting to know these kids and finding new ways of teaching them the old testament. I know I have learned a lot! Good times!

First thing in the morningthe kids headed out to go see it. Grandpa, Cathi and I put it together last night to suprise the grandkids today with. FUN Fun FUn!!
