The Brian Martin Family Newsletter July 2009



We have not written in blog for a while so we will just get you up to speed. We have a new person living with us his name is Randy and he has a room in our basement. Randy has lived with us since March. We enjoy him in our home he enjoys many of the same activities we participate in.
Lexey has turn one years old she grabbed the cake and stuck her face right inside. Lexey is the light of our lives and she is doing so much better than we ever imagined. Lexey has been crawling and standing on furniture, she is saying mama, waving bye, and making all kinds of noses. She has her date night with her aunt Sarah every Tuesday night. She is our little fire cracker. She sure keeps us busy.
We have been camping on Memorial Day weekend with Brian’s family it was fun we went four wheeling to pass lake and got a few fish. Thanks to LJ, Sarah, Kimball, and Justin for all the food and fun.
We went to Kim’s work party at Blacktail reservoir it was lots of fun we all went tubing even Lexey. She did not enjoy it as much as us we did, but the boat ride was lots of fun for Lexey. She fell right to sleep. After the work party we went to our ward campout. We played freebee and ate good food. We went four wheeling the next day.
Now we are in July finally. We will start with the fourth of July of course. We went to Kim dad’s ward breakfast it was good. We than went to the parade were Lexey learned to wave. Our friends came up from Utah Holly and Alex where they got engaged at our house. Kim took some pictures of them that they may use for there announcement picture. We than had a Free Hamburger and fries at Bish’s RV and visited with our friends Patty and Steve Willie. We got the items together to share at the BBQ at LJ’s house and went over and eat and enjoyed the company. We watched the fire works at a different place this year right by the bridge and it was good, but we like the other place better because you don’t have to look up so far. It was a little like watching a movie to close. It would have been better if we laid on the ground. Lexey sleep in the first 2 mins of the show. She had mufflers on so her ear wouldn’t get hurt. We than, set off a few fire works of our own. It was fun.
We went the following weekend to Kemmerer Wyoming camping with Brian’s friend from his mission. It was a crazy first night. Lexey got sick for the first time since we had her home and we had to go to the ER. Brian had to find a nurse or someone because the ER was empty it was much different then the crazy hospital we have to go to in Idaho Falls. They had to call a doctor in. Lexey ended up with crop and they gave her a steroid shot and told us that it was alright to take her back camping because the cold air would be good for her. We sleep at the Crosland’s house that night and went back camping the next day. We had to make sure she stayed away from the smoke of the fire because that can make her much worse. We went to big springs and got water right from the mountain and took some pictures. Brian, Randy, and Lexey went on a hike to Alice Lake. Kim wanted to go, but she sprained her ankle the night before. Kim stayed back and made all of us tie die shirts. It was fun. Brian went paint balling and he was one of the last ones standing. He thought it was fun but really hot and there were lots of bugs. Brian and I won a couple of rounds of horse shoes. We had a lot of fun.
The next Friday we went to a Chucker’s game it was BMC west night. Randy invited his girlfriend Angela, Brian invited Aaron’s girlfriend’s kids to come with us, Kim invited her boss, and Lexey invited her grandpa Beck. We had a good night and Brian’s guest ended up staying the whole night at our house. We had four girls and one boy extra. We played a few games and watched PS2 games. Kim went to bed at 1:30 and the rest stayed up until about 3:00 AM.
We have had a good month and can’t wait for seeing all of you at next month reunions.
Love,
Brian, Kim, Lexey, and Randy

Martin's February 2009 Newsletter

Brian and I went to the Jazz game on January 24th. Brian's co-worker broke his leg and gave us the tickets at the last minute and we went to the game that same that night. We stayed at Kim's brother Brad's house. Brad and his wife Anne watched Lexey. She gave them a hard time. We had fun going to the Jazz game together unfortunately Jazz lost the game against the Cleveland.
Brian and I had a Superbowl party and had lots of neighbors over. most the girls played games and talked and the guys enjoyed the game. Brian was proud of himself he made a big pan of funeral pototoes. We also made Ham, nachos, little smokies, and chili.
We went over to LJ's house for Kimball's birthday. We also had a client stay with us that weekend it was fun to play games with him and get to know him better.
Brian went with some of his friends snowmobiling up to Bone. Brian found a few new area's to play in the snow.
We went to Grant Chandler's funeral on the 11th. It was a very nice funeral. At the lunchon Jodi Rod's daughter stood up and called for her dad because she thought her daughter was chocking. it was a little scary for a miniute there, but thankfully it was a false alarm and everyone was able to chuckle about it after words. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Grant Chandlers family.
We went up to uncle Kay's cabin on the 13-15 of febuary. Brian shoveled off the snow on the cabing on friday night. We did a lot of snowmobiling on the 14th for Valuntines day. We went up to two top with Brian's cousin Greg Barns and his girlfriend Shawntel Brown. We went with Brian's friends Luke, Brandy, and there daughter Morgan to big springs and part of Black's Canyon Loop. Sunday we went to church in Island Park . after church we visited with some of uncle Kay's friends Gay and Maxin. We visited with some of Kim's friends Jacob and Mericia Roberts at there cabin. they gave us some yummy hot cocolate. We went on a short ride to big springs with Luke and Brandy. We packed up and went home. Kim's parents watched Lexey in the cabin most the weekend.
Lexey is making progress. She is rolling all over the place. She has started getting on her hands and knees and is rocking back and forth. She has started this thing with her nose where she smiles and snorts in and out it is cute. Lexey loves to grab her daddy's glasses off his face and she enjoys pulling her mom and aunts Sarah's hair. She sure is the light in our life and we really do enjoy her.

Love,

Brain, Kim,& Lexey Martin
