The kiddos bot worked really hard on their science projects. We are so proud of them.

The Airplane Show May 2010

I am bound and determined to catch up on blogging. UGH!!! You know how everyone always says when your kids say funny stuff write it down or you will forget. Well the older I am getting the more true it is becoming. SO I am bound and determined to be a better blogger. We will see how long this determination lasts. lol. I took the boys to a cool airplane show in may. It was so much fun. I was however surprised Logan chose not to go. So it was me and the 3 little ones. It was so much fun. It was hot and sunny and the boys loved it!!!!!!!

Mommy goes to Florida

SO here is what happens when I get behind on blogging. I forgot that in May mommy went to florida to visit her friend des for 7 days. Wow!!! I have never been away by myself without the kiddos or Jake since I've been married. So I guess I was due. It was a fun trip. We went to Busch gardens, way cool. Except for Jason said whether I wanted to or not I had to feed the birds. I was so scared and didn't want to but he said I had to. But as you can see below he got his. lol. We also took a trip to the beach. So much fun. I also got to hear Elder Anderson and His wife speak which was way too cool. Me and Des also took the girls to get their pics, and that was fun too. It was a great growing experience for me (mostly Jake though. hehe) to be away from the kiddos and to know everything would be fine. One of the nicest parts was coming home and seeing how much I was missed. I don't get that very often due to the fact that the kiddos are always with me. I have to say though after seeing these pics I may contemplate moving to Florida. lol.

Logans 8 year old birthday April 2010

The 8th birthday is a big one in our family. It is the beginning of scouts, and when you can be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have to say I am so proud of the decisions logan has made. He decided to be baptized and commit to his Heavenly Father, and to actively participate in the scouting program. He is a good boy, with a generally helpful attitude, he excels in his school work, and tries hard at everything he does. But probably the one thing I am the most proud of is that he tries hard to live the standards of the gospel. He knows that if you do that everything else will fall into place. I'd say he is definitely wise beyond his years. We love you buddy.

Hope for Little Hearts 2010 (March 10)

So for those of you who don't know about Hope For Little Hearts here is the run down. Hope for Little Hearts was started in 2007. It was started because of Brody. Brody has Left Ventricular Non-compaction. It is a rare form of Cardiomyopathy. It affects the heart. There is no cure. The only cure if the heart starts to go downhill is a heart transplant. So while we were relieved that there was finally a diagnosis, we knew that there was a long scary road ahead. I had to put my fear to work in a positive way or I was going to go crazy. So we formed Hope for Little Hearts. This was our 3rd annual dinner auction. I have to say our attendees amaze me every year. This year was especially special to me. Rafes pre school helped out. They did an amazing job. They made cookie dough, and passed out the desserts. I was also touched by a little girl, and dear friends who made some desserts for the dessert auction. Most of all I was touched by how giving and wonderful all of the attendees were in this economic time. We are so grateful for all of you in our livs, and the many ways which you support this charity. We can not even put into words the hope that it gives us. Thank you so much!!!

Are we a little redneck? (March 10)

Are we a little redneck? I guess so. But my boys really love the outdoors. They love animals, they love the thought of being cowboys. Can I honestly say I'd rather have it any other way? No I can't. Who can turn away a smile like that with a handful of dandelions. If you had of asked me 15 years ago my answer may differ. But I love our simple way of life.
