Nuts & Boltz

Family Home Evening With the Stevens Family, at Mother Nature Farms...

2009-10-16T08:49:00.000-07:00

The kids had so much fun running thru the maze, Teasing the farm animals, decorating their pumpkins, or at least for Gunner and Gavin's sake ripping off all the stickers the Mama's put on their Pumpkins. We love the Fall time not just because it starts to cool down in this State, but because its a time that we can do so many things together as a family. I can't believe how fast time goes by. My Baby's are growing up way to fast!!!

Boltz Family Loves Fall !!!

2009-10-16T08:22:00.000-07:00

The Boltz Family Loves this time of year with Goblins, Bats, Halloween Pumpkins, ghosts, and Cats. Most of all its a time for us to celebrate our Beautiful Little Natalias Birthday. We can't believe that on Halloween 4 years ago our sweet little Pumpkin came into our lives.

For Family Home Evening we took the kids to Mother Natures Farm to pick out and decorate pumpkins, play in the hay maze, jump in the bouncer, and ride the hay ride. We had so much fun, and was so happy that the Stevens family came too.

Family Picnic Up American Fork Canyon.....

2009-07-14T10:11:00.000-07:00

OOOOh How I miss the Utah Mountains. This made me so home sick so many happy memories of A.f. canyon. We decided to pack a picnic and go take some family pictures up in the place where Tyson purposed to me 81/2 years ago. You can tell our children are from Arizona cause Natalia was scared to death of the Mountains she didn't know what to think of all the rocks, trees, and rapid river. It really made me sad and realize that we need to one day return to Utah so our children can enjoy and have some of the same experiences that we had growing up. Their is nothing in my opinion more beautiful than The Utah mountains.

Fun with The Family on the 4TH.....

2009-07-14T09:55:00.000-07:00

A Day at the Zoo.

2009-07-14T09:16:00.001-07:00

We thought we should take the kids to the zoo before it got to hot. Gavin loved growling at all the Animals, and Natalia loved seeing the black bear.

My Dancing Queen!!! (Natalia's first dance recital)

2009-06-19T19:37:00.000-07:00

Natalia had her very first Ballet Recital. She was so cute and was not shy about standing on a big stage with hundred of people staring at her. In fact she loved it. Many times she would stop and wave at the crowd. They loved her, and she was such a natural. She was ment to be on stage performing. MMMM I wonder were she gets this from? She Danced to "Some day my Prince will come." So it was only fitting that Prince Brody her best friend- boyfriend was their to give his Princess flowers.

Natalia's & Ty's Garden

2009-06-15T17:45:00.001-07:00

Natalia and Ty planted a garden in May. Ty was worried that it would not do well, because the garden should have been planted around March, but the wonderful weather we have had, has given the garden a chance. They planted yellow squash, zucchini, tomatoes, three types of peppers, and watermelon. We have already ate some of the yellow squash, and have alot of tomatoes growing. Natalia and Ty are so proud. They also built shade for the tomatoes, and the zucchini, because of the heat. Good job guys!

My Baby Turns One!!!

2009-05-23T09:11:00.000-07:00

"Um I think I might be in trouble, but it was worth it."

He wasn't sure if he could really eat this or not.

Mama's little Bear

I can't believe my little Boy is 1. We celebrated his birthday in Utah. With all his cousins and Grandparents. He loved his cake, he wasn't sure if he could really have his cake until I shoved his hands in it. He loved his presents, pinata, and all the little cousins with their animal masks. We had a fun day!

Tyson will be starting his Masters soon for his Nurse Practitioner, only 2 more years.

Natalia's Easter Dress.

2009-04-13T19:23:00.000-07:00

Natalia looked so cute in her new Dress. When I took her to try on her Dress in the store dressing room she kept twirling and saying "I'm as pretty as a Princess." She loves to dress up. If your wondering where my little man is, he took 30 minutes to get dressed kicking ,and screaming the whole time. So he is not in the pictures, unfortunately he does not like getting dressed up. We took Easter pictures and will get them back in a couple weeks so you can see my Handsome little guy then.

Future Rodeo Queens.

2009-03-26T22:02:00.000-07:00

Some of our really good friends, have horses, and they told us to come over and ride them. This was a bitter sweet thing for me, because I Love Horses I've always wanted a horse except for one little problem. I'm allergic to them. So of course I sat in the truck watching my little cowgirl ride on the most beautiful horse named TOOTSIE. That lasted about 45 minutes and I couldn't resist I had to ride her. Tyson just shook his head because he new the outcome to this lovely afternoon. I had the time of my life. I even was able to ride all by myself. This lasted for a whole hour and then I could feel my eyes start to itch and burn, then the runny nose, and then the sneezing, and before long yes you guessed it an allergy -asthma attack. So I guess your wondering if I learned my lesson NOPE I'm going back as soon as I can. Natalia shared my love for horses the next morning when she woke up she asked me when we could go see Tootsie. I just think horses are such amazing animals.

wheeee, faster Daddy, Faster...

2009-03-26T21:53:00.000-07:00

Soooo cute I was in the kitchen making dinner and I could hear Gavin just laughing,and Natalia saying wheee, fASTER Daddy, Faster. So I grabed my camera, and found Gavin in his dump truck (that his Aunt Tressa gave him) when he was born. Just having the best time, he is in love with his dump truck ,this boy is all boy...

Our best friends in the whole world the Fox Family met us up their. We had a yummy BBQ and played all day long. We had a blast. We could all here Natalia squealing a mile a way when she caught her very First fish she was so excited and her Daddy couldn't have been more proud of his little girl. She didn't understand why she didn't get to keep her fish. Thank goodness Aunt Audrey explained to her that the fish had to go back to swim with Nemo. Natalia then understood why she couldn't keep her fish.

2009-03-26T15:49:00.000-07:00

The other day we were outside and Gavin spotted a big truck and got so excited. This is so new to me I'm so used to Princess stuff, not cars and trucks. So I'm enjoying my little Boy. Honestly he is a Mama's boy, and I'm loving it.

We had so much fun on Superbowl Sunday. We partied with hard core Cardinals fans. We were very heart broken by our boys, they deserved that game and did an awesome job. Its kind of hard when the refs are wearing steeler jerseys under their uniforms, but I'm sure that they will come back next year. Thanks to Kurt and Jobrina for an awesome party.

Natalia's First Day of Preschool.

2009-02-05T18:28:00.000-08:00

I was preparing myself for this day for a long time. I used to say I couldn't wait for the day when she went to preschool. Two whole hours to myself, Wow was I wrong. I thought she might get a little scared about leaving her Mom you know the one she's stood next to for 3 years. Nope not my girl she jumped out of the car and said "Bye Mom." I couldn't believe their was no tears( well except for mine) she has grown up, and though I'm excited for her It makes me sad. She loves preschool and her teacher Ms. Tiffany.

Merry Christmas Daddy!!!

2009-02-05T18:19:00.000-08:00

I need to tell how cute my little girl is. For Christmas Eve we draw names for each other, well this year Natalia got her Daddy's name and was so excited. She couldn't wait to go Christmas shopping for her Daddy. So I took her to Wal- Mart when we got in the store I asked her What she wanted to get her Daddy. She got so excited she took off running, she new exactly what Daddy would want. So after chasing her through Wal-Mart she stopped at the hot dogs, grabbed the hot dogs and said" Look Mom, Dad will love this he loves Hot Dogs." Honestly I laughed, and Laughed I just hugged her and said OK this is what you can get him. She was so excited and proud of what she choose for her Daddy.

Presents,Presents,and yes more Presents

2009-01-10T07:44:00.000-08:00

Yes my babies have on matching pj's, they looked so dang cute. Natalia loved her outside play house, it was pouring down rain and really cold on Christmas day, she refused to come inside so we had to bundle her up. We had so much fun watching her play house in her new house and with her baby Snow White(great grandma gave her.) We had a great Christmas, and had lots of fun watching our children play with their new toys.

Christmas Church clothes

2009-01-08T17:48:00.000-08:00

Natalia was so excited to see Santa. Once she saw Santa, she ran right up to him and threw her arms around him and said. "I love you Santa Merry Christmas." Then she started to ramble off all the things she wanted which was, Cinderella barbie doll, Prince Charming barbie doll, and Cinderella's Horse. Santa couldn't believe how beautiful Natalia is, he said she reminded him of Natalie Woods from Christmas on 24Th street. Which made me laugh because Natalie Woods is one of my favorite actress.

Merry Christmas 2008

2009-01-08T17:05:00.000-08:00

What a great Christmas so many memories were made. This was my very first Christmas away from my Family, and it hit me a week before Christmas. I really missed seeing the snow, seeing my Mother- in- laws home decorated beautiful with the smell of Christmas tree candles threw out the house, Christmas eve presents, and My Mama's orange rolls. You really don't know all that goes into Christmas eve, and Christmas Day preparations until your the one who is in charge of it. I was completely over whelmed and at one point, Ty thought I was having A mid life break down. But the look on my little girls face as she got to see what Santa brought her, and play with her new play house in the back yard for hours in the pouring down rain made staying home all worth it. Even though we coulden't be home for Christmas we are thankful for our friends who spent Christmas eve and christmas with us.

My baby is 7 months...

2008-12-08T19:14:00.001-08:00

Why do baby's grow up so fast. Gavin had a big month, he is crawling and gets into everything. He now says two words Mama and Dada. He started eating baby food and is doing better,but had a ruff start he wasn't sure he liked food at first. We don't know were that came from we all love food in this family.
