Happy Birthday Angel #2

Happy Birthday Angel #2. We love having you in our family. This is him hanging out on a rock at scout camp. I just thought it was a cute picture. He will tell you that this is the first year we let him have a birthday party. He invited a few friends over for a swimming party and to play video games. What else does a twelve year old like to do right!?:)

I wanted to show this picture because it shows what a good kid he is(most of the time):). He is playing with his cousins while at our family reunion.

This is another picture showing how helpful he can be, pushing his cousin while we were on a hike at the family reunion. He can be so helpful.


This picture is at Hoover Dam. He is helping us with Angel #5. I just really liked this picture of the two of them.

Happy Birthday Angel #2!!! You are a great part of our family and we love you very much.

In Memory Of..

Over the summer our beloved grandma -great passed away. She was the maker of bread, the best cook you knew. She was great at teaching everyone around her how to make her famous bread. She taught many how to make great christmas candy and it became a tradition every year. She was a great skip-bo player and fun to play games with. And she also shared her birthday with our Angel #3. He loved that he could proclaim this and will miss celebrating his birthday with her. It was sad but she lived a long and great life and we were grateful to have her here for so long.

This picture was one that we got in the spring before she passed away.

Because of the funeral we got a great family picture with everyone in it. What a great group of people.

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.


Nana on a ride with 2 grandaughters!

Cousins hugging Odie. Oh so cute!!!

He was a little bit scared of Odie.


These two cousins riding a ride. Their expressions didn't change the whole ride. You can go here to see a few more fun pictures from our adventure at Silverwood.

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.
