Summer!

I am not a good blogger at all.. and when i mean at all that is the truth. This summer we had the chance to go to Wisconsin to met Boyd's mom side of the family.It was a trip i will never forget. this is all the time i have right now but i will add a alot more later.

Carson!

This little guy is so much fun! Its him and I most days unless he has ran off to help work the sheep.(That is most days) He loves to go every where with me. He LOVES animals. He is just like his dad in that way. He is such a joy in this family. He loves when his sister gets home. What a joy it is to have kids.

First i need a new camera. This is one reason i don't blog that much is because of the way it takes pictures. We went to Idaho for spring break and it was tons of fun. We did a ton of things. This was at the museum. They had alot of fun playing in the dress up part. We went swimming, park, flew kites,ijump. We had so much fun when we were there.

Snow day!

The kids getting the snow. We don't get alot of it here but we do get some every year. Just enough to have to go out and buy all the gear but its worth every penny. They got snow on Monday, it came down Sunday and when we woke up it was about 5 inch. As soon as breakfast was over off they were. They invited there cousins over for some fun since they didn't get any in the tri cities. They were sledding for about 6 hours. They enjoyed the last part making snow slushies. It was a great idea. Carson was by tired. He was my frist to sleep at 4:30 and then up agian at 8. But then he was pretty good about going back to sleep. It was a fun day.

They have cancelled school today and so its 9 and the kids are outside enjoying the snow again. I am affraid it woun't last as long since the wind is blowing and it makes it really cold.

More Christmas.

I realized that i didn't take one single picture this Christmas. I have no idea what i was thinking. Carson is our true cowboy. Grandpa Clyde hit it right on the spot for this kids gift. He play with this and his animals from g and p wallevand all day long. He got a dinosaur that i am not sure any of us are sure of. He got a train too. Mckenzie got a leapster, dog, doll and a guitar and makeup and polly pockets. Cade got a play gun, arm guys, leapster games, a wand, bade blades and clothes and a few odds and ends. Boyd got a knife set, candy, green bay shirt, a new suit and a TV. We all had a great Christmas and are sad it is over.

Grandpa and Kenzie. The kids love grandpa hugs and whisker kisses and the kids call them.

Chloe and McKenzie and Caron deciding it was time to take a rest. So Cute.

We have missed Crystal it was so nice to have her home for a while. Sorry left this and a couple out of your bowling post! They were to cute not to put in.

The Christmas story. We have started to this story every Christmas eve. The kids love it. We are so thankful for the TRUE meaning of Christmas and i am so glad that i get the opportunity to teach it to my children.

Christmas Fun!

Yes I had to post this picture. It went in this order. Liz, Roby, Britt, Boyd and then me.. I don't mean to brag but yes that is my score.. hehe

Look how cute this guy is.. Love you

McKenzie is the best helper when it comes to Carson. He might not like it all the time but he does most. She was helping the whole time trying to teach him how to do it without throwing it down the lane. I am sure the floor is dented because of him throwing it.

Cade had a fun time this year. We do this every year with the Clyde's and this year was by far the best. The kids loved it.

Making Christmas goodies. They had so much fun. I am usually one that doesn't let them do to the mess but Christmas only comes once a year so I let them and after how good and nice they were i think i might just let them do it again.

I can't express my love to my family enough. I love each one of my kids so much. This Christmas break was a very good one. We did have a lot of sickness but that didn't stop our fun. We played a lot of game nights, did a lot of eating but most of all this year i learned how much I am grateful for the family I was born into and the family that I married into. All of them have been so good to us and cared for us so much. Thank you for anther great year.
