Happy Sweet Sixteen

So my beautiful daughter turned 16 this weekend. Man when I say that it makes me feel old! She had a fun weekend Saturday she went to Homecoming with some friends and then house/dog-sat for some neighbors. Sun was her birthday and we just had a nice cozy day hanging out and watching conference. She is having her party in a couple weeks her first to invite boys since second grade. She can't wait for her first date now that she is 16 but I know I can. Happy Birthday Isabella we love you! You are so Beautiful.

BEST surprise in the world

So I am standing out in front with my neighbor/friend Amanda yesterday when this person comes driving into the court, and WOW what do you know its one of my dearest to my heart friends I haven't seen in four years. It truly was the best surprise ever!!! It was so nice to see her and it made so sad she lives in WA..I would love to have her move back but I am grateful for the couple hours I got last night. I love you Kate!

Back to school 2011

Well that time of year is back of getting back into schedules and the business that comes with school. Mix that with Soccer, baseball, cross-country and other things and that is "our crazy life." Thanks Izzy for making me do this update:)

Isabella is turning 16 on October 2 and is a Sophomore this year WOW were has time gone. She is loving school and can't wait to start dating.


Christopher is in 8Th grade and can't wait till High school but is enjoying his last year in middle school and has had fun spending time with Emily. They have band together and are both doing cross-country.


Emily started middle school and is loving it! She has really come out of her shell and is enjoying it. She is learning to play the flute and doing well in all her classes.


Mason is in fourth grade and is proud to say he has been on the AWESOME board in his classroom since school started. He is truly an amazing young man and is lucky to have such a good brother for an example.


Karlie also started school this year. She is going to Wheatland Pre-school and loving it! She is so smart and so darn cute. She knows all her friends names and is constantly talking about the class pet Priscilla.

Amgen Tour of California

Today was the Amgen Tour of California race. It came thru Wheatland which was really cool sense we are a little not on the map kind of town. Chris came home from work early and the schools all let out early due to road closer, so we went up on the corner and watched. It was really amazing! The talent that they have to be able to ride at the speed and how close they travel to each other just blows my mind! The Kids all thought it was cool. And they had to go home and ride their bikes especially Karlie she said "someday I can do that cause I am super fast!" It was really cute.

Happy Easter!

We had a fun filled weekend. Saturday we went with friends to the egg hunt at Chick-fil-A it was a lot of fun. The kids got a ton of free stuff and the boys both won t-shirts on a soccer game. Chris and our friend Nick ended up in the back of a police car. It was a great day that ended in a BBQ and games.

Easter Sunday was nice my parents came up and went to church with us in the morning then we came home to egg hunt with our friends in the Court. Then we went to my sisters for dinner and more egg hunting with cousins. We had a great time and I love spending time with family. Plus I got to see Kim total bonus!

beale falls 2011

We hiked Beale Falls with our friends Nick and Nichole and had a great time WE went Feb. 21 and the weather was perfect. Karlie hiked like such a big girl I was proud of her thats a lot of walking for those little legs. We took our dogs they had a blast. The best was when we got home and I told the Kids tick check and Chris is the first to pop off and say I already did and I am good. OF course being the mom I am I said nope off with your shirt and Oh my goodness!!!! to my surprise the first thing I see is a tick. Then of course he started freaking out "it hurts, oh it hurts" lol . We removed the tick and he took meds to prevent Lyme Disease. OH what day!
