Happy Birthday Angel #4

Happy Birthday Angel #4!!! As you can see she is surrounded by shirtless boys on her birthday. I don't know why they don't have shirts on but all the rest of the pictures with her and her cake were blurry so this is what you get.

This is a picture of her and one of her presents on her birthday. It is also one of the only pictures that is not blurry. She had a great birthday. All girl stuff including a pink scooter. She wanted it pink so that her brothers would not ride on it.:)

It is a barbie movie so that the boys wouldn't want to watch it either, but you will catch them watching it with her every once in a while.:)


About a week before her birthday by brother came into town and we went to see the Hoover Dam with them. This is a family photo right in front of the bridge they are building over the hoover dam. Angel #4 is right in the middle there. We are so glad that she is part of our family.

Summer Vacation Continued...

While in Idaho for our family reunion on my side we were able to go golfing. Not just the adults all of the kids were able to go with us. It was alot of fun to be together.

This is part of the crew watching someone hit their ball.

It took us all of these carts to haul the family from hole to hole, and we were crowded on to each cart.

Here is a family picture of all of us!

I was so glad that we were all able to be together with no one missing it doesn't happen very often.

Scout Camp

After we went to Idaho and Utah we came home and a week later Angel #1, and Angel #2 and their dad went to Scout Camp. It was called camp chawanakee in California. They had to drive like 6 hours to go to scout camp. They had a lot of fun, even their dad even though he didn't really want to go in the first place. Enjoy the pictures of their week there.

Happy Birthday Angel #1

Happy Birthday Angel #1!!! I can't believe that we officially have a teenager in our house. This is a picture of him at scout camp, I will post some pictures from that too. We went to Blanchard ID, to visit family and went to Silverwood Park on Angel #1's birthday. We had alot of fun here are a few photos from the trip.

Catching Up!!!

Sorry I am so behind on posts. I am going to try and add them and get caught up. To start off we went on vacation over the summer to Utah and then on to Idaho. To start our summer vacation all three of the older boys went to basketball camp at USU. They were able to stay at their grandparents house in Newton for almost 3 weeks, thanks grandma and grandpa again.


This is Angel #1 and Angel #3 with grandma in front of the bishop's storehouse where they were able to volunteer with them. The service that they were taught is great. I am so glad that they were able to do that.

Our budding actor:)

Here is the requested video of our angel #2 in his play at school. This is only a piece of the play but it gives you a tiny glimpse. It was alot of fun to watch him. He did a great job. We are really proud of him for trying new things like this.

Decorating 101

My mother came and helped me to decorate my home so that it felt more lived in. Here are a few photos of the great work that she did. Isn't she talented?

I didn't quite know how to decorate above the cabinets but she did.:)

By adding a few knick knacks my mantel looks so good.


This is a vinyl saying that I just added to my wall that I got from a friend of mine that has started a little business. I love it.

I also purchased this kit from her. I actually made it with her help, don't you just love it. She has a website you should all check out, it is http://thewholekitnkaboodle.blogspot.com/

This picture is for my mom. Thanks for all your help.
