Just the Five of Us

Cabin Fun

2008-11-11T09:59:00.001-08:00

Over the Labor Day Weekend we went to Matt's parents cabin with his cousin Theresa and her family. We always have great time relaxing, going on bike rides, hikes and making smores. Another tradition at the cabin is for the young kids to get a cabin bath, which means just in the kitchen sink with a picture taken.

Contest Winner

2008-11-11T09:50:00.000-08:00

Matt submitted this picture of Ethan during the 4th of July to a photo contest and it won first prize. Ethan is playing in the founain that is in front of the movie theatres where we watch the fireworks in downtown Sparks.

Ethan Turns 1

A Year of Firsts

2008-11-11T09:09:00.000-08:00

This year we have had a year of firsts, Aiden learned how to ride a bike without training wheels, Isaac learned how to ride a bike and Ethan learned how to walk. Aiden and Isaac started swim lessons, Aiden has his first day of kindergarten and Isaac started Pre-School. We are a mobile family now, though sometimes we wish that Ethan was a little less mobile!

4th of July

2008-07-26T14:18:00.000-07:00

This year, as in years past, we joined our friends at downtown Sparks for a movie and bar-be-que. The kids played in the water at the fountain and we wnjoyed a great firework show.

Toothless

2008-07-26T14:11:00.000-07:00

Aiden has lost his first two teeth!! He no longer has his two bottom middle teeth.

Prince Rupert, BC

2008-07-26T13:31:00.000-07:00

LUNCH!!!

The fourth and final spot on our Alaskan Cruise was in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada. We started our day with a walk around the town of Prince Rupert to see the totem poles and the sunken gardens. In Prince Rupert we saw a lot of Bald Eagles. After that we went on a canoe ride across the channel and went on a hike through a temperate rain forest that used to be an ancient native village. Our guide through the village was a native tribesman! After the hike, we had a crab feast. Kent, our brother-in-law, and Matt were the only two that ate the crab. Larry tried but only lasted for one bite. He compared cracking a crab leg open to get to the meat to having to de-feather a chicken to get to the meat. YUCK!!!

Sumdum Glacier

2008-07-26T11:20:00.000-07:00

Our third stop on our Alaskan Cruise was to Sumdum Glacier in the Hobart Bay, Tracy Arm Fjord. We were originally supposed to go to Sawyer Glacier that was in Tracy Arm Fjord, but due to heavy ice conditions, the ship was not allowed in there. This, in turn, worked out great for us because, according to the ship’s cruise director, we got closer to the glacier then any other cruise ship our size has ever been. The most impressive thing was that whenever the ice would move you could hear it cracking, and it sounded like someone was setting off dynamite up the canyon! On the way out from the glacier we saw seals all over the place. There were hundreds just lounging on all of the ice that was floating in the water.

Skagway, Alaska

2008-07-25T21:26:00.001-07:00

Our second port was in Skagway where we hiked up to a place called Reid Falls. It was so beautiful there! The falls fell hundreds of feet and towards the bottom there were these great little stream pools. After the hike we took the White Pass Train up the trail that led to the Klondike Gold Rush. This was a spectacular ride and we saw moutain goats and caribou.

Juneau, Alaska

2008-07-25T16:52:00.000-07:00

Our first port of call on the cruise was Juneau. We decided to go zip-lining... This took a lot of convincing for me to do it, but in the end it was great!!! We were at times over 200 feet above the ground in the tree canopy and going over 35 MPH!!!!! After that we wandered around Juneau and did some shopping.

Alaska!

2008-07-24T21:34:00.000-07:00

In June, Matt and I had the chance to go on an Alaskan Cruise with my parents,my brother and sisters and all their spouses. We also had two nieces with us. We had a tons of fun! We stopped in Juneau, Skagway, and Prince Rupert, BC. We even got up close and personal to Sumdum Glacier. It was beautiful, breathtaking and amazing to hear and see parts of the glacier crack and fall into the ocean! What a site! Itwas great to catch up with family. This is the first time since Hawaii that we have all been together...so 2 years! As you can see in the photo, Matt no longer has a goatee. He had to shave it for his new job. Matt has had his goatee for 15 years, so none of us had seen him without it! It took all of us a few days to get adjusted to the new "Matt".

Ummmmm.....Dirt!

2008-06-04T22:20:00.001-07:00

It is nearly impossible to keep Ethan out of things he shouldn't be in! Matt and I were outside building a little retaining wall, and Ethan decided to take a little...ok....a big taste of dirt! I little dirt don't hurt! YUK!

Memorial Weekend Fun--SIX FLAGS!!!

2008-06-04T21:48:00.000-07:00

It rained and rained and rained in the days before Memorial Weekend, and I was ready for sunshine...or at least no rain! We had my nephew Tyler out for a week, so we decided to have fun in Vallejo...What a great time we had at Thomas Town, and all of the play structures! Matt and Tyler had a blast on some of the rollercoasters. FYI...I thought I remembered that the crepes were good there...I thought WRONG!

Three Boys in a Basket!

2008-06-04T21:05:00.000-07:00

These guys love to play together! All of their personalities are depicted here...Aiden is the "hang out" guy, Isaac is the "shy guy", and Ethan is content, until he doesn't get his way!

Basketball

2008-01-23T01:01:00.000-08:00

Aiden has been going down now that last couple of saturdays and taking part in a basketball academy that is ran by Matt's good friend Ethan O'Bryant. Ethan played at Nevada and was a Harlem Globetrotter for a few years. Aidenis getting the hang of dribbling and passing, just like his dad the defensive side needs a little work. Aiden is having a great time and Isaac is wondering when he will be old enough to start playing basketball.

Let It Snow! part 2

Let It Snow!

2008-01-23T00:43:00.000-08:00

On Friday January 4th we recieved quite a nice snow storm, the three day total was about 14 total inches that fell at the house. This meant that we finally had enough snow to go sledding down the hill in our backyard!!! Mariann was stoked!!!

Merry Christmas

2008-01-22T23:59:00.000-08:00

Christmas was great this year, we held the Looney(Matt's mom's maiden name) Christmas Eve dinner at our house this year. Matt's brother dressed up as Santa Clause and made a special visit on his rounds to the Turley house. Aiden and Isaac got a great kick out of it. Aiden asked us the entire month of December if it was Christmas morning, and then didn't think it was Christmas, because it hadn't snowed. Christmas was also special this year because it was Ethan's first Christmas.

Happy 5th Birthday Aiden!

2008-01-20T22:16:00.000-08:00

Aiden for his 5th Birthday decided he wanted to have a Superhero birthday party!

Big boy!

2007-11-29T22:13:00.000-08:00

When I took Ethan in for his 4 month appointment, he weighed in at 18 pounds! EIGHTEEN!!! He is such a big boy! He is 27 1/4" long... I think he is my biggest baby at this age! He is nearly out of his 6 month clothes. He is mostly wearing 9-12 month clothes!

2007-11-29T21:33:00.000-08:00

My 3 sleepy heads!

Happy Thanksgiving! We celebrated with our friends, the Kahumoku's. They have 3 boys, too, and they are all within a few months of each other!

My hair started getting too patchy, so Mommy said that it all had to go!

Much better!

6 Flags and Thomas Town

2007-09-16T17:38:00.000-07:00

Aiden and Isaac are Thomas the Train fans, ESPECIALLY Isaac, so we thought it would be fun to go 6 Flags too, because they just put in Thomas Town. They had a blast! Isaac wasn't too sure about most of the rides, but he absolutley loved the Thomas the Train ride. He wouldn't go on Harold or Bertie, though. Aiden went on all of the Thomas rides, and some others and had a blast. Aiden especially liked the dolphin and killer whale shows. Ethan was such a trooper! He slept most of the time, and got to go on a few rides. The bad part was that it was SO HOT!!! AT one point, Matt grabbed one of Ethan's diapers (clean!) and mopped his dripping head and neck!

Fun at the Cabin

2007-09-16T17:26:00.000-07:00

We spent a few days at Matt's parents cabin over the Labor Day weekend. We were there with Matt's cousin, Theresa, and her family. We all had a great time hanging out and spending time together. The kids and dads had a great time seeing who could throw the rocks the farthest in the river.

Lake Tahoe

2007-09-16T17:15:00.000-07:00

For Labor Day weekend we decided to spend a few days away. On the way to Matt's parents cabin we stopped by Lake Tahoe. It was really chilly there so we didn't stay long, but Aiden and Isaac had fun playing in the sand for a while. Ethan just slept in his sling.

Help! We've Created a Monster!

2007-08-27T23:47:00.001-07:00

2007-08-27T23:38:00.000-07:00

If we were worried about how Aiden and Isaac would interact with Ethan, we aren't now...at least for now. They both love him! Sometimes too much!

My Girl

2007-08-27T23:36:00.000-07:00

Our friends, the Lewis', were out visiting...had to get pictures of Aiden and Coralee together. Maybe someday...

My Three Sons!

2007-08-27T23:32:00.000-07:00

I love this picture! It may be a long time until I see all of my boys in CLEAN white shirts again! Ethan was blessed on August 5th.

Just Waiting Around

2007-08-27T23:28:00.000-07:00

Aiden, Ethan, their cousin Mikey, and my brother Larry waiting in the waiting room while I am visiting Lori and Madison...the newest addition to the family! She was born exactly 3 weeks after Ethan!...Well, about 4 hours short of 3 weeks!

That's "Mr Thumbsucker" to You!

2007-08-27T23:20:00.000-07:00

Ethan cracks me up! He loves to suck his thumb, but only if he can "catch" it in his mouth as his arms flail around!

Super Hero!

2007-08-27T23:18:00.000-07:00

Aiden and Isaac love to play dress up! Isaac ran around with the mask up, because it scared him too bad to put it over his eyes!

Update

2007-08-27T23:04:00.000-07:00

It has been forever since I last updated this... Matt is the one that has kept you posted for the last few months. My life is starting to get a little more normalized! You always hear about the third child being the one to make your life spin out of control...I think there is some truth in that! Here are some pictures of Aiden, Isaac, Ethan and my mom! My nieces Dani and Alex were here from Illinois and even got a chance to meet their cousins! The last time we had a chance to see them was when Aiden was about 1 1/2!

What Am I?

2007-08-27T22:46:00.000-07:00

Can you guess what this is? I bet it will bring back a lot of memories!

On July 12th, 2007 at 4:32 pm Ethan Don Turely came into this world and bless us with his sweet spirit. He was 21 inches long and weighrd 8 pounds 1 ounce. Aiden and Isaac just love and are so proud of their little brother.

Backyard fire part3

Fire burst
Trees up in flames

These are scenes from our neighbors fence.

Evacuation

2007-07-29T00:21:00.000-07:00

As the fire got closer we decided that is was in the best interest for the boys and Mariann to get out of the house. Some friends of our the Gills came and got Aiden and Isaac, Sean Gill stuck around and helped Matt and Matt's Dad dig a fire line and hose down the fence and debris behind the fence. Next we got Mariann out, she was only five days away from giving birth to Ethan. The first picture is of the News Channel 4 trying to get an interview with Mariann because he heard that she was pregant. The second picture is us packing Mariann up to get out. The third picture is of Matt's dad and Sean getting over the fence. The fourth picture is our street crowded with fire personel and equipment. The last picture is Matt just getting over the fence and telling Sean and Matt's dad that now would be a good time to get back over the fence.

Another reference shot of how low the planes were flying.

Plane over our roof line.

Our neighbor across the street took all these pictures and was kind enough to share them with us. His thought process was we were all busy and the fire had to go through our houses before it got to his! Tanker and helicopter in same pic.

Second pic is of one of the helicopters doing a water drop - that is our roofline in the foreground.

This pic is a refrence shot to how low the planes were.

The Fire in our backyard!!!

2007-07-28T23:32:00.000-07:00

On the afternoon of July 7th the greatest fear that we have of living where live came true. Our property backs to BLM land and that afternoon a wild fire was making a direct line for our home and our neighbors homes. We were lucky the fire shifted when it came with 100 yards of the homes and let the fire fighters get the upper hand and get a good line dug between the fire and the homes. This will be a few different posts and we will explain what is going on in each photo. The picture that looks out of focus it a picture a Chinook Helicopter that was doing water drops through the thick smoke. The helicopter was over our neighbors house at the time of the picture.

Oakland A's

2007-05-09T14:19:00.000-07:00

In April our family had the oppurtunity to go to the Bay Area and see an Oakland A's game with our friends the Gills. The A's were playing the Los Angeles Angels, Matt's friend Sean Gill is an Angel fan so the game was interesting. It was interesting to see who was going to not talk on the way home. The A's beat the Angels 3-0, so Matt was happy.

Take Me Out To The Ballgame!

2007-05-09T14:07:00.000-07:00

This year Aiden started Tee-Ball, he is on a team with his friends Jayden, Jaxon and Ian. He is having a great time learning the game. Matt is helping coach with our friend Mike Smith. The team that Aiden plays for is the Cubs. The only problem that we have is keeping Isaac off the field, he doesn't understand why he can't play.

Happy 2nd Birthday Isaac

2007-02-27T12:42:00.000-08:00

On Feb 23 Isaac celebrated his 2nd birthday.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

2007-02-27T12:21:00.000-08:00

We recieved our first real snowfall the other night and the boys thought that the throwing snowballs at dad while he tried to shovel the driveway was the best!

In March we will be moving into a new home and these pictures are progress pictures on the new home.

Play Ball!

2007-02-19T22:45:00.000-08:00

Isaac has found a new fond love,it is baseball, or as he says it, "bay-baull". He loves to wear his Oakland A's hat and have you pitch him the baseball. The great thing now is that he and Aiden will pitch to each other. OH THE FREEDOM!

Sleeping Beauties

2007-02-19T22:42:00.000-08:00

One morning Mariann awoke and found the two boys asleep in their bunk beds asleep in these positions.!?

Incognito

2007-02-19T22:38:00.000-08:00

Incognito - these boys are always doing funny things. The blinking glasses Aiden got in Disney World. These two keep us laughing and guessing all the time.

Christmas II

What a MESS!!!!!

Christmas I

2007-02-19T22:26:00.000-08:00

This year the we decided to let the kids help us with decorationg the Christmas Tree.

Aiden's 4th Birthday

2007-02-19T22:03:00.000-08:00

This year we celebrated Aiden's Birthday at the Coconut Bowl at Wild Island. Aiden had all his friends and cousins over to help him have a Power Ranger birthday. It seemed like other then a few other type of toys all Aiden got was Power Ranger toys.

TRICK-OR-TREAT

2006-11-08T10:46:00.000-08:00

This was the first year that Isaac got to go trick-or-treating with Aiden and their friends, Jayden and Jaxon. The two boys went as Power Rangers and they had a blast, Isaac was the best though! Every house he said "do-do-dreet" and when the person at the door tried to give candy he held out his hand. He was not letting anyone put the candy in his bag, we think Isaac thought that if they put on in they wold take two out, and he was not going to let that happen.

Wolf Pack

2006-10-27T20:13:00.000-07:00

Today Matt took the boys to a "Meet and Greet" for the Nevada Wolf Pack Men's Basketball Team. Aiden and Isaac have both started going to the basketball games by the time they were two weeks old, so they love to be around these guys. Aiden was so excited to get Autographs of most of the players! Nick Fazekas will be going to the NBA next year. Brandon Fields is new to the team this year. Lyndale Burleson is a returning guard, and has a brother in the NFL and another in the NBA. David Ellis stands 7'2" and had a hard time seeing all of the little guys running around.

Halloween Party

2006-10-27T20:06:00.000-07:00

I have come to the conclusion early that in order to have peace in our home, then Aiden and Isaac need to have the same or similar things. For Halloween this year, since Aiden is a HUGE Power Ranger Fan, Aiden and Isaac are going to be the Red and Green Rangers. They had a blast at our play group Halloween party! They got to stick the spider on the web, make witch's brew, color, and decorate cookies! How Fun! We are a little short in the girl department in our play group!

The Lewis'

2006-10-27T19:57:00.000-07:00

We sure do miss our friends, Steve and Rachel Lewis! They decided to move back to Denver where Steve is from. We were so excited to have them come and play with us a day at "The Balls" when they were in Nevada. Aiden and Coralee have been friends since they have been born, literally. Aiden is only 3 days older than Coralee. And Landon is 3 months older than Isaac, so they are able to be buddies, too. We can't wait until we see them again!

Hey Batter Batter Batter!

2006-10-27T19:50:00.000-07:00

If you thought that Aiden was a sport maniac, you should see Isaac. They will always have a buddy to play ball with. A play group was started in our ward, and at the park one day we decide to take the bats, balls, and mitts. They had a blast!

Apple Hill

2006-10-27T19:38:00.000-07:00

On the first weekend of October we drove to Apple Hill. It is just outside of Placerville, CA. We didn't realize how long it would take us to get there, so by the time we got there, we only had about 45 minutes to see things. The main thing that we got to do there is look at the animals at a petting zoo. The kids loved it, and it gave them something fun to do before they had to get in the car for the 2 1/2 hour drive back to Sparks! Aiden is 3/2 and Isaac is 19 months old in the pictures.

Aiden's New Bike!

2006-08-06T15:10:00.000-07:00

Was it bribery or good behavior? Aiden has wanted a bike so bad, so Matt and I decided that if Aiden could earn 10 stickers for doing good things, he could get a bike. Matt made a chart, and so for every good deed he did, he got to put on a sticker. It was fun to see him share more, and to help clean up his toys. After a few weeks, Aiden finally got all 10 stickers! What a fun day to pick out his bike. He even got a Power Rangers helmet, knee, and elbow pads. Isaac has been having fun pushing his "new" bike around. Isaac likes to do it all on his own. He doesn't like to be pushed around on his bike...yet! Isaac's helmet is a little too big right now!

Mahalo!

Aloha!

2006-07-25T15:11:00.000-07:00

In June Matt and Mariann(without the kids!) had a chance to join Mariann's family in Hawai'i for a week. We had a great time from seeing the USS Arizona Memorial and Pearl Harbor, hiking to the top of Diamond Head, visiting the Polynesian Culture Center (Seeing the Fire Dancers and Tree Climbers), snorkeling and learning how to surf! We even saw a Sea Turtle! We had such a great time that we are trying to figure out how to get back to Hawai'i!

Disney Cruise

2006-06-16T15:19:00.000-07:00

Here are a few cool pictures of the ship (Donald is hanging off the front). Aiden also had a big graduation celebration on the last day from the Kids Club.

Disney Cruise

2006-06-16T15:07:00.000-07:00

On May 21st to the 25th we went on the Disney Cruise. It was the Highlight of the trip. The boys loved seeing all of the characters and being able to go to the beach and swim. They had a "party" every night it seemed, and at the "Pirates in the Caribbean" party they even shot off fireworks!

Disney World

2006-06-16T14:56:00.000-07:00

Here are a few pictures of Disney World. We left on May 14th and stayed at Disney World until the 21st when we got on the cruise. We had so much fun with Aiden and Isaac. It was so great to see them have so much fun! Aiden's favorites were the Power Rangers (we had to see them twice!). We got Aiden to go on all of the rides that he could go on (he is only 42 "). We told him that if he would keep his eyes open and scream, it wouldn't be so scary. Once he did that, he had a blast! Isaac loved everything! They both loved being in the water whether is was in the pool or in the areas that the water would spray on the kids!

Whose Kids Are These?!?

Matt and I discovered something strange about our kids tonight. I made caramel apples, and we gave Aiden and Isaac each one, and THEY DIDN'T WANT IT!!! Aiden and Isaac will eat anything that has sugar in it, so what a shocker it was that they wouldn't eat the caramel apple. But the craziest part?!? Once Matt and I ate the caramel off of the apple, they inhaled the apple down! So, when we do caramel apples again, only 2 will do...Matt and I will eat the good part (the caramel) and the boys can eat the healthy part!

It was such a beautiful night on Monday that we decided to take the boys mini golfing. Aiden loves to golf, and this was the first time Isaac has been (besides playing in the yard). They had a blast!!! Aiden even got a Hole In One on one of the holes!!! At the end of the course there is a hole that if you make it into the "number 1 slot" you get a free game. ISAAC WON A FREE GAME! (With a little help from Dad!)

Human Jack-In-The-Box

Who ever says that you have to have toys to have fun didn't have a box. "Aiden in the Box" kept Isaac intertained for a long time!

Is It Spring Time YET?!?

We have had a fun week! Tuesday my friend, Amy, and I took our boys to Chuck E Cheese for lunch and some fun. After 2 hours of play time ( and a bit of eating) we had won all of the tickets we were going to win. Aiden picked out a Pirate's eye patch, and some Smarties. (It seemed like the prizes were a lot cooler when I was younger!) Wednesday I took Aiden and Isaac to the park to enjoy the great weather we finally got! Isaac thinks that slides are the greatest invention ever, and Aiden is starting to venture out onto the "big kids" park.

Happy Easter! Easter was fun at our house! Aiden and Isaac had a blast finding eggs before we went to church. We weren't sure that Isaac would get the whole "find the Easter Egg" concept, but he had more fun finding the eggs than Aiden did! Once Aiden realized that the Easter Bunny brought him a new Power Ranger, it was game over on the egg hunt!

Welcome to our domain! I love to read about what is going on with our friends, so I thought that it would be fun to have our own site that we can post pictures of our growing family and keep everyone posted of all that is going on with us. Aiden, Isaac, and I just got back from Utah lat week visiting and going to my Grandma's 90th birthday party. They had a blast! Aiden is 3 1/2 and Isaac is 13 months.
