Wonderful Christmas

Wow what a year we had so much fun. Kids got spoiled like always. Their favorite is the trampoline that Grandma Penny and Grandpa Gene got them even though they don't get to play with it until the summer it'll get used alot (hopefully my accident prone daughter won't be hurt on it). The boys both got scooters and race cars and kenzie got a bike which they would be playing with all the time if it wasn't for all the darn snow. Kenzies favorite so far is her mp3 player that is in her ears constantly turned all the way up so she doesn't hear half the things we tell her. Jodie gave me and brandon and a very cute picture of our family. ( I love it thx jo.) My parents gave us a Cuisinart panini press/ grill; so far it has done very well with hamburgers maybe one of these days i'll try to make a panini :).

So other than that i hope all your holidays are wonderful and that everyone will be healthy and happy in the new year.

what a summer

Boy has this summer flown by maybe its cause i have things 2 do this year.
June flew by so fast that i can't really remember what we even did.

July came and is already gone. We went over to delta for the 4th and we had tons of fun with water balloons and playing with cousins. The next weekend we went up to my parents house for my cousin Emilee's farewell i can't believe she is already 21 and on a mission she is suppose to stay little. ha ha. The next day Kelton for some reason took my fabric cutter apart tackled his brother and cut his finger wide open ya so quick trip to the er and 5 stitches later kyle is all better. Then a few days later Kenzie was climbing a tree and jumped down landing on a root twisting her ankle so again over to the er we went. Luckily it was only a sprain and not a break so she had a brace on for a week before attempting to walk on it. Then the 24th rolled around so off to the rodeo we went the whole family was there except for brandon and of course robert ( but he has a good excuse) The next day we watched the very way too long Spanish Fork parade and the kids liked it. I'll post pictures of everything later. On the 25th we had my family reunion it is so crazy when 200 cousins all come together and go swimming and eat. They made a family chart that went back to my great grandpa ogden it was 60 feet long it was so crazy.

Then it happened on the 27th i started my last year in my 20's lol ya crazy. Grandpa took me the kids and kenzies friend out for lunch at wingers it was of course so yummy. Later that day i was invited to go to a concert thing at our friends church. Can i just say how glad i belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. Don't get me wrong the people are really nice but some of the things they do you can't feel any type of spirt.

So this weekend we are going to the Memmott family reunion. We won't get there until thursday night or friday morning because brandon won't get back til then.

So until then have fun!!!!

happy 4th

So this weekend we went to Delta's lovely celebration and had so much fun. We went over on friday and we tried to sleep outside but it rained so 1 in the morning we all ran inside. Saturday we went to the parade so fun 4 the kids and watching them is the best. Here are a few cuties waiting to catch candy

water balloons on a hot day always fun




behold the fireworks aren't they pretty

my projects

Okay for you who don't know I have been making blankets so to keep, some to give to family, the rest are to hopefully sell. The brown and green swirl is for my moms couch yes it was quite the project to get jsut right but once figured out it went along just right. The next is yellow and blue and is the one I wouldn't mind selling or give away its a queen size and will have the blue background. Let me know. The red and black I spent to much time on and am keeping for myself. So I will keep making more and posting them. if you like any let me know.

Other news Kelton graduated kindergarten on his birthday and to expect him to be happy about it ya right; he was a grouch he started off the day by punching daddy in the stomach then kept it up all day. He ran off the stage half way through graduation to the back of the room where we were at and would not go back up. That was how it was the rest of the day. I did have pictures but boys will be boys and will erase them before mommy can get them on the computer.

Kenzie got out of school a week later so its good luck keeping track of where she is at. Good thing she has friends within 2 blocks of the house or else I would have to go all over town looking for her.

Kyle is quite the turkey, we live a block away from the park and if he is missing thats where he is. Little thing can get down there before I can notice its to quite in the house. Hopefully he gets into a preschool this year he really needs it and it'll be nice to have no kids home for a few hours a day.

Brandon got to be home for 5 days before having to return to work. Can I say it was so nice to have him here. After 6 weeks and only one "home" day we needed the family time. He gets to be back for one day this week before he has to go to Portland but atleast its something.

Well I think thats all hope you all are doing well.

Vacation, Easter, and Fish hatchery

We have done so much in the last few months that I am finally going to put the pictures up. We went to Mesquite and Vegas for spring break and I am still waiting to develop the pictures from Vegas but here are a few at the St. George temple. Then we went to Penny and Genes for Easter so I got a couple of cute pictures. Then this last week Kelton went to the fish hatchery in Glenwood for his last fieldtrip of the year. It was a blast and very good weather. It was cool learning how fast the fish grow and stuff. They had Rainbow and German brown trout there. So enjoy the pictures. I forgot i had a very cute one of Riley and kenzie. They are out of order from how I told you but thats what happens when you are not good at blogging.

Happy St. Pattys day

Kelton made a super cute vest in school today and was very excited to show it off.

Babies and Cake

We went down to Mandy and Chris' to celebrate Dyllan, Corbyn and Chayses birthday. It was so fun letting the kids play together while we got to visit. In the pictures Corbyn is wearing his shirt and has the orange bowl. Chayse has his shirt off. They were of course both so cute and getting so big

Dieting sucks

I know we have all been there and I have almost wanted to give up but everytime I work out I feel better about myself, I have more energy and my back does not hurt as much. Since starting at the first of the year I have lost zero pounds but some pairs of pants are fitting better and my thighs are not rubbing together as much. I have givin up soda all but once in a great will have a cup. Caffine is one thing I was suprised to not miss It kind of bites going out to dinner and the only options you have for drinks is water or lemonade which gets a little old. Flavored water has been my favorite to drink and keeps away the sugar needs. The kids are getting tired of drinking milk or water so I let them have soda on the weekends and they get to have kool-aid.

Other things thats going on; Brandon has been out since the 12th and we all can't wait for him to come home. He went all the way back to Warsaw Indiana, down to Arkansas and Missouri, and noe is sitting in Cal trying to come home but te trips that would've sent him home got canceled and the only loads that are out there will pay less than 1 dollar a mile which they so not accept so they end up paying him to sit down there for something else but after all is said and done the pay will be less than a dollar (yeah try explaining that to his bosses)

Kenzie is still doing good in school and we have found her a few books she likes to read so maybe next month she'll have her 20mins a day to turn in. Kelton oh what can I say he is learning so much and tries to keep up with everyone. He still has a few bad days where all he wants to do is resit his teacher and so he just sits with his head down. Kyle loves to play with my computer and have to take it with me when I leave so he doesn't ruin it. We got a dvd system for the car and of course he mastered that in one hour while I was in the chiropractor. I guess its good he knows how to run it so I don't have to do everything. Well I think thats all for this week. Hope you all have a good one.

Here is a couple of pics of the kids some nephews and the biggest child of all. (brandon was very proud of his work) Kelton is holding his pumpkin that he got from a field trip back in October
