ROY - Virginia May Ware, 82, passed away Wednesday, August 26, 2009 following a short battle with pancreatic cancer.

She was born in Encampment, Wyoming on June 22, 1927 to John Murray and Hazel C. Brierley Wombaker. She was raised on the ranch in Wyoming and learned how to work hard with her brother and sisters at an early age, but enjoyed the freedom of the outdoors.

She was an active member of the LDS Church where she served as the Relief Society President twice and was a visiting teacher for 50 years.

"Cuz the Chicks Dig It"

This actually happened last Tuesday, July 28.

It was about 8:45 pm and Brian was still at work, the kids were watching a movie and playing downstairs. I decided to get in the shower. I just had put shampoo in my hair and McCoy came in screaming. ~ nothing new with this kid, he screams alot~
So I basically didn't think anything of it ~ mother of the year, right here!~
I didn't even open the shower door. Then Haylee comes in and is screaming too.
So I fling open the door prepared to chew someone a new **** and I all I see is blood, lots of blood covering the 4 year olds face.

I panic, frantically rinse all the soap out of the hair, throw some clothes on, grab some towels and the kids and chuck everything in the van.

I call Brian on the way to the insta-care. Thank goodness he was on his way home and already heading north on the freeway. I pull in to the insta-care litterally not even a mile from our house and it is closed. It closed at 9 CRAP! So I call Brian again. Screaming and crying into the phone all the while telling Haylee to keep pressure on McCoys head. Brian says he is getting off at our exit right then. What that didn't even take 5 minutes?! Them Lexus' are faaaassssstttt! So he tells me to meet him at the park and ride and he will drive cuz I sound like a crazy woman at this point!

I go screaming down the 'new road' to the freeway. Then I hear throw up noises coming from the middle seat. Great! Haylee is now sick after seeing her brothers blood that she is now passing out! I pull in the park and ride and Brian has flagged down a sherriff to come and look at McCoy. We fling the doors open and he starts to assess the little bugger. It stopped bleeding! Thank goodness! But the gash is really deep so we decide to go to the ER anyway to get it glued.

We take the freeway to the hospital cuz it seems like every main road in Ogden is under construction!!!! I call my mom on her cell and luckily her and dad are just coming out of the Junction from seeing Harry Potter! Score! They met us at the ER and took the other kids back home (including vomit girl).

The good thing about having a little kid in the ER is that they get you to a room real quick! =)

They couldn't super glue it shut because it was too close to the eye. So he got 5 stitches after they numbed it real good.

He was so brave! He even FELL ASLEEP while the Dr. was stitching him up!

***betcha all want to know how it happenend****

the story I got was Madi was mad at him for teasing her and pushed him. He fell into my bed and hit the metal bed rail on the bottom.

Poor little dude! I did feel better after the nursing staff was so impressed with our parenting!!! They were shocked this was our 4th child and first stitches for any of them! whoot whoot!

all the way home McCoy kept saying "Chicks dig scars, huh Dad"!

yep buddy, those chicks do!

How I Spent My Summer Vacation......

For the long 24th of July weekend we took off and headed north out of the 100* heat! It was a little cooler at our cabin, thank goodness!!




Here she is, our purrrty cabin! My Grandpa, Dad and uncles all built this cabin themselves in the summer of 1981. I never really appreciated it until I had kids of my own. They have so much fun when we are there.

I probably should tell you where this cabin is, for those who don't know! It's in Island Park, Idaho by Henry's Lake on your way to West Yellowstone.

This is the view from the front deck looking northwest.



and these are the rangers...

one of our favorite places to visit is Big Springs. You can't fish there, but the trout are huge! They were all hiding under the bridge when we got there, so I couldn't get any fishy pictures.

this is what I get when I ask them to pose for a nice picture! Show us your grrr face Haylee!

my Brian...

this is what $2 will by you if you are a 7 year old boy...

great.....it poops......

best.souvenier.evah!

we went into Yellowstone Park on Saturday...

when the Blackett's and the Ware's go to Old Faithful, it is for certain that ice cream will be bought @ the inn....

and devoured b4

this happens

I love these old tour buses. The tops come off too. We have never rode in one, but it looks like a lot of fun!

the boys got my camera and this is what happened. Don't worry, I deleted all the pictures they took of the dogs bum and all!

we ate lunch by the river and watched an osprey(sp?) swoop down and grab a fish out of the river with its talons!

Caden worked really hard on this model he bought in West Yellowstone. He did it all by himself!

the kids went fishing at Macks Inn off of the bridge.

I think when we go up next time we will take some tubes and float down the river. There were so many people doing that at Macks Inn! It looked like fun, and its something we have never done before...

I think McCoy had fun! What do you think??

Off to the cabin! Have a good weekend everyone!!!

overheard @ the warehouse...

mom: caden, what are you doing?


caden: moooommm, there is no time to waste! i must collect my gear!

mom: what are those for?

caden: duh mom! a water fight! everyone knows that!

A Quick Trip

Saturday, July 11 we left early to drive to Cedar City for my cousins wedding. Man I feel old! She was 5 years old when I got married!!

The cute couple Congrats Caitin and Jed!! Your wedding was beautiful!

The kids enjoyed the worldwind trip by relaxing in the hotel pool before AND after the wedding



This is Haylee jumping in....sorry...I'm not good at action shots!

Grandpa and Madi trying to coax McCoy off the stairs. He just wanted to sit there and watch everyone!
