Last years post (I wish I would have finished...lol)

I know this is just a tad bit out dated...although I thought it's something you might like to know..lol I just love Christmas! I know I know, most people do....As the year comes to a close, I am recollecting on all the event's that have occurred over the year...I got to meet a Niece I never knew I had...What a miracle!

My Sister and I have stopped talking for the most part...I think we've both come to understand that we just can't seem to get a long. We still love each other, just don't need to interact so much...lol I know, I know who could hate me? maybe hate is to aggressive...Not enjoy me...is more fitting.

I had a lot of great trips to Utah and Vegas (Yes we drove with all the kids) I had my first "Friends" vacation (Thanks Adrienne and Kyle)...I was shocked anyone would want to join my chaos...Just loved the couple's outings...The Hoover Dam was super hot! soooo not as enjoyable....

Jaylen got baptized...

Kyra got boob's (kinda) Tayah had her Tonsils out and Daniel had surgery ( his first) I became a Den Mother...And Caylee is living with us, and teaching us what to expect when Kyra is 18...good times! I am Soooooo grateful for my new friends who add so much love and laughter to my life! I have had my testimony strengthened this year, simply by being a tool in our Heavenly Fathers hands...and Being willing to listen to the spirit...even when everyone told me not to....I DID! ;D Sometimes doing the right thing means standing alone....I am so very grateful for all the Love and patience of my friends...and my family...I hope you all know of my love and gratitude for you, I just hope and pray that I can be a source of Joy in your lives....

A little bit of Summer and School 09

This was the Perfect spot to wait for Jaylen while he was at Cub Scout Camp this year....Yes the girls stayed nice and cool....You'll see!

Just can't wait to test the water (By the way this is at the Park by St.Mary's College)

Lovin the sprays of waterJust a little bit wet don't ya think?????
Time to dry off on the train......Choooooo Choooooooooooo!

This was our little group swimming and "trying" to tan at the lake on our girl's retreat!! soooo Refreshing........Tireing......Envigorating.......Exhausting........Crazy Fun!!!!

Tiana turned 3 Yesssirreeee!

The kids had opened the door to go out side to ride bikes and found this on our door...Tiana was soooo thrilled (she still won't let us take her hearts off the door)

The missionaries suprised her with this wonderful door of love on her Birthday!!!

Gotta love these Wonderful Missionaries!

Her sisters were just as excited as she was! (this is what happens to kids when momma wont do their hair)



Tiana got to pick out what she wanted for dinner, and then decided to help me make it She just loves to cook.

Kyra's first day of 6th grade :)




Tayah's 1st day of 1st grade

Jaylen's 1st day of 3rd grade..whew!

Land of the Giants...Eureka!

Daniel had to do some work in Eureka. McDonalds was paying for the whole family to go, As long as we shopped 9 different stores along the way......That meant ordering the Angus meal, and taste testing it for accuracy. All 8 of us would take a bite and tell what we thought...lol by Sandwich # 6 we didn't want to see another one! By the time we got to the Hotel we didn't want to see another Sequoia tree, Redwood or yet Another Angus Burger!!! So here's a little of what we did get to do outside of the Angus overload!

This was a little bit of a tight squeez but hey we did it!

Summer Time!!! 2009

Okay I heard you loud and clear now you can stop yelling at me!!!!.....lol This is some of what we've been up to this summer so far....Whew! and now it's almost time for school....I can't believe how fast it's going by....( I can't seem to figure out how to fill you in on the rest of the pic's sooo the rest is up to you to figure out...lol) This is why I love face book!!!..;p


This is the Last day of School...Kyra was so sad to leave Elementary behind. Jaylen Loved his teacher Ms. Lightfoot as much as Tayah LOVED Kindergarten with Mrs. Hare Glad to have such great teachers and friends!
