My favorite passtime
I (Avery) have rediscovered my favorite passion in my life- going to see live music! A couple months ago I went to an Indigo Girls concert in SLC with my best cousin and friend Jasmine. I loved it so much and I was amazed at how good I felt just being there. I love being in the crowd of people I don't know who look and dress very different from what I'm used to seeing everyday. Last week I went to see Brandi Carlile and it was equally great. I just stand there and marvel at how talented she is and what an amazing voice she has. And thanks to my great sis in law Lataun for making my whole trip possible by watching my kids and letting me feel 18 again! I owe you big- so thanks.
Brandi Carlile- Beauiful voice, beautiful person- I highly reccomend her music to anyone.
Jasmine and I- she is my favorite person in the whole world- besides Faren of course- I hope to someday live next door to her and her husband Kevin and spend every day together! Ok, maybe that's too much of a good thing...
We were so close to the stage, which made it even better. (Dear reader, please don't call CPS on us!)

an update with photos
Avery is too lazy to update this blog so I'm (Faren) going to do her job for her......just like everything else.
River and Boston at the top of Jackson Hole Ski Resort. I love that they can fight for 7 hours straight in the car and then smile and hug for a damn photo.
In Yellowstone, each animal spotted by the kids was worth a dollar amount. This moose netted River $2.
We looked good enough in this photo that some Asians actually took their cameras off the geysers and began snapping shots of us.Tuesday, August 4, 2009
The Riv Man turns 7!
Yesterday was River's 7th birthday, and I can't imagine where the time has gone. What happened to my curly haired blonde boy who bounced off the walls and made everyone wonder if his parents were actually disiplining him? River has mellowed out A LOT since then, but sometimes I still wish he could have at least kept his curls. It's like my aunt Toni says, as soon as we cut his hair, he lost all of his power, and he's been a calm little boy ever since. But we're so happy that River is in our family, and he makes the perfect older brother. He is so helpful with Boston and Simon, and he is very genuine and kind to others. He is especially kind to Simon- he never loses his patience with him, and will play with Simon whenever I need him to. We love you River, and we love having you in our family. It is a privelage to watch you grow up!

Our two cute Crash Test Dummies
Ok, I know I said that people who don't update their blogs are on my pet peeve list and are totally lame- I know, I know- you can now add me to that list of totally lame people. Here are some of the things the Eddins' have been up to in the past couple months.
Boston learned how to ride a bike with NO TRAINING WHEELS! He is our youngest child to do that- only 4 1/2. The problem was, he wasn't so great at going down hills and braking. We took his bike up to our cabin, and not 5 minutes after arriving, Boston had crashed and burned pretty major riding down a hill. We heard him scream from far away, and when we found him, he was walking his bike up the hill with blood running down his face and arms. We took him to the Dr., who gave him 9 stitches on the upper lip. And let me tell you, watching your child get stitches has got to be one of the most miserable things to witness. He was fine after that- as soon as we went to get him some ice cream.
Boston has problems staying grounded on his feet- this is only one on a long list of injuries he's had to endure so far- and I'm sure there will be plenty more to come.
Simon is our other Evel Keneivel child who thinks he's a big boy and tries to climb and ride the big boy's bikes, the lawnmower, the four wheeler, and Faren's motorbike. He ALWAYS has a huge nasty scab on his head from falling on his face on the pavement or a corner of the wall. Now that I think about it, maybe it's not these kids fault that they get hurt so much- maybe I'm just not a very attentive mother....

No, I'm sure it's the kids fault.

Our Cruise 2009!
Faren and I went on our first cruise last weekend to Catlina Island and Ensenada, Mexico! We had a lot of fun being gone for a whole week (away from the kids-thanks Lataun and Myrna!) My brother Cody and his wife Brittany took us on the trip, and hopefully they didn't get totally sick of us after spending an entire week with us.
We departed from San Diego and went to Catalina Island the next day- it is so beautiful there. The next day we went to Ensenada and got attacked by salesmen trying to sell Faren some Viagra for super cheap. And the last day was spent at sea with overcast skies and ten foot waves rocking the boat all day long. I pretty much spent that whole day seasick in bed. In between all the travel we went to some good shows, played mini golf, gambled (Hey, it's ok if we're out at sea, right?), and we all ate about 8 ice cream cones everyday. Thanks Cody and Brittany for the great trip! Here are some highlights:
