A.F. Canyon

It's been a while since I blogged. Last weekend we went to Richfield for Memorial day weekend. I forgot my camera. We had fun viseting all of the graves at the cemitary. Mikes mom posted some pictures of that on her sight. This friday we went up American Fork Canyon to our ward activity. It was so pretty and lots of fun. We met alot of nice people in our ward and Wade had fun throwing rocks in to the river.

Oh but Hi Smiley!!!

I never knew I could be in love with someone as much as I was in love with Wade, but then Kingston came along. Man, he has been so smiley lately. When he smiles at me it just melts my heart. I can't believe he is three months old already. His personality is getting to be so cute. We just love him so much.

wade learns about helmets.

This sat. was so nice. It was about 80+ degrees out side. We went swiming in the morning to afternoon and then spent the evening out riding bikes. We got Wade this helmet a while ago but he never wanted to wear it untill today. I think you will see from this video that he finally understands the concept of what a helmet is used for. I though it was funny. Ha Ha!!

Happy Mothers Day.

This morning Mike took Wade down stairs and let me sleep in. I wont tell you how late I slept because it is a little embarising. Lets just say I really slept in. When I finally made it down stairs Mike and Wade had made waffles (Mikes specialty). They were so good. We got ready for church and went to get in the van. Mike had installed my birthday present/mothers day present on the roof of the van. I was so excited. I know its not snowboard season, but I have wanted thease racks for a long time. Our van just keeps getting cooler and cooler. Last week we had a hitch installed so we can hall our bikes. Now with this rack on the roof we are so cool, J/K. Hey when your driving a mini van you have to make it as cool as posible. I love these racks. Hopefully they will get alot of use this next winter. Thanks honey for a wonderful mothers day/ Birthday. I love you.

A day at the Hogle Zoo.

"Look Mom Turkeys."

Mom and Wade and the rinos.

This Saturday was such a nice day we decided to take Wade and Kingston to the Hogle Zoo. It was so fun because Wade was so excited about all the animals. Every time we got to the next animal cage he would point and laugh and just get so excited. It was a really great day. I love spending time with my boys.

Dianna's Birthday Fun.

My Birthday fell on Mothers Day this year. So we decided to go out on Thursday night to celabrate. We got a siter for the kids, and went with some of our best friends to ride this thing called the Flowrider. It is a big man made wave that you can ride forever if your good enough. It was every ones first time so no one was that good at it. All though by the end of the night we kinda got the hang of it. I made an awesome movie of everyone that came and all our sweet moves, but the movie was to long to down load. So I made this shorter one of just me and Mike. Thanks to everyone who came. It ment alot, and I had so much fun. Remember to pause my music player before watching this movie.

Kingston likes to try and talk.

Family has been asking for pictures and video of little Kingston. Hopefully this works. Remember to pause my music player so you can hear the video.

Tag I'm it.

Kara tagged me. This is fun. It is about my awesome best friend and husband Mike O.


Sorry in advance about my spelling. I'm dyslexic.


What is his name? Michael C. (stands for nothing) Ogden. That is what my brother calls him. Mikes middle initial is C. but he doesn't have a middle name. It is just the initial. It is after his dad who has the middle name Charles but Mikes name is not Michael Charles. It is just C. We love it, and so we used it for Kingston. We named him Kingston C. after his daddy.


How long have you been together? We dated for a year and a half before we got married and we have been married for over five years so we have been together for just over six and a half years.


How long did you date? I guess I answered that in the one before. One and a half years.


How old is he? Mike just turned 28 years old.


Who eats more? I would have to say Mike but I can hold my own too. He is just quite a bit taller than me.


Who said " I love you." first? This is one of my favorite stories. I was dropping Mike off at his apartment after a night of hanging out. It was really late at night and for some reason he wouldn't get out of the car. We were both just sitting thier. I was so nervis because I wanted to tell him that I loved him but I couldn't spit it out. We were both just making small talk and I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest. I just kept telling my self to just say it, but I couldn't. Finally Mike turned to me and said, "Dianna I want to tell you something. I love you." I was so relieved and said, "I love you too." So I guess Mike said it first.


Who is taller? Mike is taller 6'4", I am 5'7" almost.


Who is smarter? Well, Mike IS a college graduate, so I would say him.


Who does the laundry? Since I am a stay at home mom I do, But Mike is so good about helping when he is home.


Who does the dishes? Most of the time Mike will do the dishes after dinner.


Who pays the bills? I do. I don't think Mike likes to think about all of his money going to bills. So I just handle all of that stuff.


Who mows the lawn? The gardners do it. We live in an association that takes care of all that stuff.


Who cooks dinner? I mostly do. I try to be a good wife and cook for my husband. Mike loves to cook breakfast. He makes some mean waffels.


Who drives when you are together? Mostly Mike. He is a great driver. Especially in the snow. I just feel better with him driving.


Who is more stubborn? Me, hands down.


Who asked who out first? Mike asked me out. He used to walk with me after our math class. One day he asked me if he could have my number. I wasn't sure about him but I thought, "what the heck." i gave it to him. He told me after we were married that he knew for sure it was a fake number. Just to be sure he called it really fast before I would be home to answer. He couldn't believe it when my answering machine picked up and it was my real number. I think thats funny. We went out shortly after that.


Who proposed? Mike did. He had grabbed my hand the day before in our math class and he drew a ring on my finger. I thought it was cute but I didn't really think anything else of it. Little did I know that he had picked out a ring all by himself and he was picking it up that day. The next day we were alone in his apartment. I was sitting on the couch. All of a sudden he got down on one knee and said "Hey, the ring I drew on your finger yesterday washed off." I felt a little bad. He said, "let me draw you a new one." He pulled a pen out of his pocket and started to draw. He was shaking so bad and i thought, "what the heck is wrong with him." Then he said, " this pen doesn't work. Let me get a diffrent one." He reached in his pocket and pulled out a beautiful ring. I couldn't belive it. He asked me to marry him and I said yes. Then we both got on the couches and started jumping around screaming, "WE ARE ENGAGED!!" It was so fun.


Who wears the pants in the family? I really don't think either of us do. We are pretty open about everything in our relationship. I think we are pretty equal. Maybe I'm just oblivious and that means that Mike wears the pants.


This was fun. It was good to reminisce and remember all of these good times. I tag Alicia, Roxy, and Charlynn. YOUR IT!!

Mike the GRADUATE!!!

I have never been so proud of someone in my life. I am so proud of Mike and all he has acomplished. Mike graduated from Southern Utah University in December, we went back down to Cedar this weekend so he could walk with his class. It was such a neat experience. Mike graduated in Buisness Managment and is curently working for Lincare Medical as a Sales rep. He loves his job and is doing so well at it. If you know Mike than you know he is a people person. Everyone who meets Mike loves him, and he is perfect for sales. Mike I love you, and I am so proud to be your wife. Wow, I am married to a college graduate.
Mike graduated with three of his cousins. These are two of his cousins. Melissa Farmer (Wade loves her), and Kayson King. It was so neat to have them all graduate together.
We made such good friends at SUU. This is one of Mikes good friends Kellen Jones. They actually moved just north of us to Lehi so luckally we still get to see them quite a bit.
Mike and another one of our good friends Adam Law. We both just had new babys so the guys were showing off their new offspring.
Wade and his daddy. Wade lookes up to his dad so much. He wants to be just like Mike, and he does everything that Mike does. I know that because Mike worked so hard and graduated from college Wade will see how important education is and hopefully he will have a desire to go to college him self one day. Wade was so cute this day. He kept asking to where dads pirate hat. It was funny. We love you so much Mike and can't say it enough. We are so proud.

Our two guys.

When we were in California we got some pictures of the boys taken. Their is the nicest ladie in the ward that I grew up in. Her name is Carole Brown. She has a really nice camera and she is so good at capturing photos. She came up one day and took these pictures of the boys. I love them so much. I plan on making copies and sending them to everyone who would want one. I kinda put them in the order that I like best but let me know what you think, and what pictures you would like copies of. Thanks again sis. Brown these pictures are awesome.

Amazing Mike!!!

Don't forget to pause my back round music on my play list before watching this video.

Remember Les?

Today we went and viseted Mikes tortoise Les. Do you remember him? Mike got this tortoise almost 9 years ago on his mission. When he bought him he was so small. He was the size of a quarter. He now lives with one of our best friends Jaclyne in California. He loves it in California because it is warm all year round and he has a big back yard to wander free. Wade just loved Les and he kept having him kiss his stuffed frog. It was so cute. We love you Les, as Wade would say "your freeken awesome!!!"

A day at the Beach!!!

Wade and his lady bug. It is on his sleave if you can't see it.
Me and my boys chillen at the beach.

Wow!!! We have been having a great time here in California. This Sat. we went to the beach. It was such a nice day. When we first got there Wade found a lady bug. He held it for ever it was really cute. He dug in the sand all day and made sand castles with Grandma Hogie. We played catch and ran in the water. Aunt Neisha tryed to get Wade to go in the water but he was a little affraid of the waves. It felt so nice to just rellax and lay in the sun. All in all it was a great day.

Fun at Disney Land

This Friday we went to Disney Land. It was really fun. We went with my Mom and my sister Amber and her two kids. Wade and Isabel and Jaden had so much fun runing around and playing. We went on some fun rides and saw a couple paraids. It was a great day of fun.

I want to touch the MOON!!!

This last Thursday night we headed to the Irvine Spectrum for dinner and some fun. There is a big ferris wheel in the middle of the shopping mall. When we passed it the first time I asked Wade if he wanted to ride it. He said "No I'm scared." On our way back after eating we passed it again. Wade saw the moon right by the top of the ferris wheel and said, "I want to go up there and touch the moon." It was so cute. When we got to the top he really tried to touch it but he couldn't. It was a fun night.

This is Mike here in Florida. I decided to come over to the east side of Florida to see Dianna's Family. I had to take a break from the training so I decided to rent a car and drive across the state. It was great to see Dianna's dad, Michelle, and D's grandparents. Saturday we went and watch the Cardinals and the Manatee's play baseball. Then we hit Peanut Island. It was perfect!!!! The water was aqua blue so we had to snorkle for a bit. We ended up eating on the island and enjoyed some live music. Thanks for the great time Winfree's.........

WE MISS YOU DADDY!!!

Mike went on a buisness trip for two weeks and we are really missing him. He asked me to blog some pics of the boys so he could see them. Wade keeps telling me that he misses Daddy. It is really cute. Honey we love you so much and we really miss you. We will see you soon. Have fun in Florida. Love, Your family.(Dianna, Wade-o and Kingston)

Girls day out!!!

What a Fun day. We stopped in Vegas on Sat. and had a fun time with Mikes Mom and his two sisters Katie and Mindy. We got our nails done at the shop. It was so nice to sit in the massage chair and just talk and laugh. Then we went out to eat at Carrabas. Next we headed over to the Venetian Hotel( I know I spelled that wrong) to watch the Phantom of the Opera. It was such a neat show. The special affects were so amazing. It was the first time I left Kingston alone with a baby siter. I was a little nervis at first but I was having such a good time that I really didn't worrie as much as i thought I would. Thanks Katie for planing such a fun day.
