Fun in Yellowstone

Before Chris left again we went up to Yellowstone for the weekend got a family suite at the Holiday Inn and let the kids swim until they were completely worn out then we went for pizza and came back and swam some more.

Arizona

My cousin Dale and Chris

My Mom and I at the old Dairy.

A few weeks ago my grandma passed away and my sister and I hopped in the car and went to Arizona to help my mom out. Chris was able to fly out the day before the funeral and meet some of my family he has never met. Chris had my mom take us to the house I was born in (Yes I was actually born in the house) My mother is an amazing women! This is the house, it was pink when I was born here. It was good to see family that I haven't seen in about 10 years. I just wish it was under better circumstances.

St Patricks Pics

The weekend before St.Patricks was kinda warm so we went out to play with my new camera. I haven't had much time to get familiar with it so I am still trying to figure it out. Here are a few

pics, I haven't had time to edit them yet!

Fun Times

We went to visit Chris's sister and her family we all had so much fun! We took the kids to a place where they had a bunch of bouncy house things set up the kids ran around and played till they were worn out and sweaty!

Happy Birthday Bryhton

Twelve years ago today I began my dream job, I became a mother. After being instructed by his dad that he could not be born during the super bowl we waited until after the game was over to decide that, in fact it was time to go the hospital. A few hours later We had an 8lb 7oz baby and we named him Bryhton.

The years have flown by since then. I woke up this morning and thought how can I have a twelve year old already. Bryhton has been such a joy to have in our family he is such a smart,polite and always pleasant person to be around. He is always willing to help around the house and with his younger siblings.He loves school and is always so eager to learn!He keeps us laughing! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Bryhton we love you and are so proud of you and the decisions you have made in your life so far!

January

It was pretty warm today despite the yard full of snow so I took Raz out so I could play with my new camera I got for Christmas!

Pencil Sketch effect!

Gavin is such a fun boy, he loves to be outside, it doesn't matter how cold it is he will stay out until his little cheeks are bright red, he is getting really good at skiing also!

Bryhton at D.A.R.E graduation. They each had to write an essay to graduate and then they chose 14 essays as winners and then they chose 4 out of those 14 to read their essay at the graduation Bryhtons essay was chosen.So proud of him! It is so fun to watch him get excited about school and the things he is learning! Wish I had half his ambition when I was his age I could have been something great!

Happy 1st Birthday Raz

Wow I can't believe it's been a year since this sweet little boy joined our family! We have had so much fun with this little guy watching him learn and grow. He started walking right before he turned 10 months and has been hard to keep up with ever since. He has mastered going up and down the stairs by himself,which keeps us all on our toes. He has finally got a few teeth in ,2 on bottom and 1 on top and he is such a good eater. We are so glad to have him in our family and are enjoying every minute with him! Happy 1st Birthday our sweet little Razden!
