Our life in a Nutshell

I appologize for such a long post. We (as are all of you) are so busy, and I can't hardly keep up with everything. I can't tell if I'm getting lazy or just don't want to take the time to post. As you can see this has been a brief look into our life for the last few months.
Hanging out with friends, Camping , Coaching, Ashlyn playing softball, Birthdays, Halloween, Awards Assemblies, More Softball, Getting dirty, Shucking corn and bottling, Concerts, Coles deer hunt in Colorado, Life with Easton and Cooper, Parades, Getting Wood, Family time roasting Marshmellows, and so on. This is just a few of our fun times. Maybe I can try to keep up a little better now. Love you all.

Still alive and Kickin

We really are still alive. Things have just been so busy, I have not taken the time to update my blog. I will try to post a little something about our lives for the past 2 months in a day or so. In the mean time, I hope all is well with everyone.

What do you get ???

What do you get when you add-----

An Lds Stake Center.(I know this is not the Snowflake one but you'll get the point)


A couple of flying BATS! Yes Real live bats. (In the cultural hall)


And a couple of Girls???



Two really freaked out, bout to pee our pants, scared to death, uncordinated, running around, falling all over, hands flying,hidding behind doors, falling on the floor,hitting walls, screaming,hillariously looking adult ladies trying to get these boogers out of the stake center so we could have a fun friendly game of Volleyball. Who knew that these tiny little ugly creatures could be so scary. I have to admit I have never been that freaked out in a long time. It was so crazy. If we would of had a video camera going we might have been able to win some mad money. We did have some help from a couple of other ladies or we would of never been able to get them out. Thanks for the memories and the fun laughs Heather. But I have to say, lets not do this again for awhile.

Happy Birthday Ashlyn :)

Thursday was Ashlyns "real" birthday. I hope you had a good day. Your dad and I are very proud of you and are glad that you are ours. What a sweet girl you are. I can hardly believe that I have a teenager. I hope you stay just the way you are and keep reaching for your goals. Strive to always be a better person and be a good example to those around you. We love you very much. Happy Birthday yesterday.

Ashlyn's SURPRISE Party!!

Tuesday Aug 18,2009, I decided to have a surprise party for Ashlyn for her birthday. Her birthday really was'nt until Thursday so she had no clue what so ever. I had to have it early because she is on the 7th grade softball team and they had a game in Round Valley that day and I wasn't going to beable to make it work. I told her that her grandma vicki could only take her to do her birthday shopping that day, and she was going to have to leave practice early.(Like I would really let her leave early for something like that.)I invited the whole team to come along with some other friends that were already at the house waiting for us to get there. So as soon as she left, we loaded everything up and off we went. My mom told Ashlyn that she had forgotten a list of things that I needed for her to get for me so they had to go back really fast. She sent Ashlyn in to get the paper and SURPRISE!!! There we all were. She was so scared and freaking out. It was so funny. I wish that I would have caught the real face that she made but I snapped the picture to soon, so I made her recreate the look for me. I know a couple of my pictures are really blurry but my battery died in the camera so I had to use my phone. Anyways, we had a really good time and I appreciate everyone for coming and helping me make this so successful.

Back to School

I know I am a little late with this, but things have been crazy and I finally have a few minutes to post a few things that have happened in the last few weeks. I actually miss the kids being home but I love getting back on track and having a more organized day. Pretty sad that it takes school to put me back on a schedule. The kids are all loving it so far and seem to really like their teachers and all their friends. It will be an exciting adventure for all of them.

Madison, Ashlyn and Jordyn all together.

Gotta show off those backpacks.

Ashlyn, McKenna, Bailey, Logann and Madi. Lets hope Ashlyn and McKenna can always get along like this. Love you Kenna.

Mason,Ryan Peterson, Garret and Jordyn. Getting ready to head off for the big day.
