Sunday afternoon

2009-09-20T18:19:00.000-07:00

We hiked to a waterfall Sunday afternoon. Very easy

walk. Oscar hates water that's why Matt is holding

him.

2009-09-20T18:02:00.000-07:00

Matt's work had a big grand opening party. They had

a lot of fun things for the little kids as well as the big

kids. Jack loved every minute.

Sitting on the sidelines

2009-09-13T13:50:00.000-07:00

Jack is playing soccer with the YMCA and loves it.

Everyone gets to play. So that means you have to

take a turn sitting out. Jack sat out 3rd period. He

was a tired boy. He helped score the only goal of the

game. There is a girl on his team, that is awesome.

I thought he would have a problem with that, because

she is a girl. But he's been fine with it and they play

well together.

Buckin' Bronco

2009-08-02T20:19:00.000-07:00

We went to some friends today. And they had out their horses.

Jack got to ride on the old and faithful "Sunday". Our friend Bo lead

the horse around the pen with Jack in the saddle. Then

Jack decided thathe wanted his Dad to ride with him.

So Matt got on behind Jack and the

horse reared up and started buckin. Matt jumped off thinking the

horse would stop. But he continued with Jack trying to hold on.

He didn't make 8 seconds but he sure made 5 seconds. He

landed on his shoulder. I just knew it was broken (picture doesn't

give it justice) so I made Matt take us to the ER. They

took x-rays and said nothing was broken so I feel better. And

Jack gets to take some Tylenol with codeine (yum).

A few pics from the truck pull

2009-08-01T18:39:00.000-07:00

As it got late it got a little silly.

The boys favorite truck of the night.

Not sure what Matt is doing in this pic. We were on our way

to the truck pull.

Jack had just done his first cannonball and I'm

sure it won't be his last.

Sorry!

The Park

2009-05-26T02:36:00.000-07:00

We were waiting at the Park while the Aunt had an errand to run. It took a little while so we started taking pictures. They turned out way cute I thought.

Hike with the best kids (my niece, nephew, son)

2009-05-09T04:44:00.000-07:00

"The Rock" in Castle Rock. It's a fun hike. Kiora took a pic before we went just make sure I came back down with the same amount.
Zane was smelling his armpit before we went, so he would remember what he smells like before he gets all sweaty.

Oh boy!!!. look at Mary so cute. Than there is Jack on the right. You can tell he is mine. God is so getting me back. But I love him more than anything!!!

Zane being the older more mature cousin and sibling was telling them, "if you are in the front on the trail you are not allowed to fart!"

Just a cute pic of all of us. Those are my "cop glasses". Yes Melissa they are Oakley's. When the kids asked why my nostrils are so big I told them that "I picked my nose so much as a child that they got stuck that way." Mary and Jack laughed and Zane had to think about it.

Jack had to hold this boulder up so we could make it up the trail. Thanks Jack.

Awwww WE MADE IT TO THE TOP!. Jack blew a bubble in celebration. And yes, those are "ROCK ON" signals.

Zane decided that he would take up rock climbing. I told him it would make his fingers strong for gaming.

OHHHH! We so love each other

Have you ever been to the gun show? Boom, Boom, FIREPOWER!

Mary just rocking on.

Zane was a little hot. Actually there is a story behind this. We told Jack if he gets his hat wet it will help cool him down. So Zane filled Jacks hat up about half full. And when Jack put the hat on the water ran down him and got his shirt wet. I thought he was going to kill us. He kept yelling "You guys tricked me, you tricked me, you knew my shirt was going to get all wet, as he was jumping around yelling." I tried to convince him it wasn't a trick, while laughing so hard I couldn't stand up. So of course he didn't believe us, and so we all had to do the same thing so he would know we weren't tricking him. Man that little boy has some anger issues. But it was still soooooooo FUNNY! So other than having our lives threatened by a 7 year old the hike was safe and fun.

Girls just want to have FUN!!

2009-04-30T17:40:00.000-07:00

This is a shot of out living room. Kiora and I were so amazed at how nice it was. Her husband is so good to us. He set this whole thing up.
Not sure about these but they are about 1 mile from where we are staying.

I always wanted to see this in person. Just to see how loud it would be.

This was the end destination for our horse ride. It was beautiful.

That is my horses head at the bottom of the shot and Kiora is two horses up. It was my first time on a horse ride.

This is right behind our house we are staying in. I hope you are all jealous.

Jack strikes again!

2009-04-23T08:37:00.000-07:00

This morning Jack asked a question and I said no. He than said "I wish I had a remote control to control when you said yes and no."

Jacks 1st grade program

2009-04-21T18:50:00.000-07:00

Sorry not a great pic. This is as close as I could get. His class sag a lot of fun songs. The kids had a lot of fun. They did actions and clapping and dancing. Jack...he just stood there with a serious look on his face and his hands in front of him. He sang every song. I asked him why he didn't do any actions..he said "that's embarrasing". We love him. And anyone who knows him knows he is a ham. I guess he has a little stage fright.

After the concert we went to "The Classic" and got shakes. Doesn't Matt look so excited?. Love you Matt xoxoxo.

This is Jack and I of course. He is my little man. I love him with all my heart. Him and I understand each other more than anybody else will. We shared a strawberry shake. His eyes are always bigger than his stomach.

My Friend

2009-04-21T13:53:00.000-07:00

I'm writing about my awesome friend Kiora. The reason why I used this photo is because it's so her. That is the "look" you know your in trouble if you get the "look". She is Matt's sister and we have known each other for almost 10 years. But really have become good friends in the last 6-7 years. When I think of amazing people she is one of them. She has 4 BUSY kids two dogs and a great husband. I don't know how she does it all and still stay sane. Today she said to me "People must think I live in my car". Everytime I talk to her she is doing something for someone else. She is running a kid to the denist, dropping off clothes, taking someone to school, going to gymnastics, etc etc etc.... And she still has time to take care of me. I truly believe that God sent her to me. She is a life saver. I don't know how I would do it all without her support and encouraging words. Thanks Kiora!!!! I love you.

Jack hates this picture

2009-04-14T17:20:00.000-07:00

Jack had this taken in school. He said he didn't

want to but his teacher made him. And when

he showed me the pic we laughed

really hard about it. So I decided to post

it for your pleasure.

Easter

2009-04-13T11:46:00.000-07:00

Matt's sister is so good to us. She came and got Jack

and I for the week and we spent Easter with them.

She dressed up her little girls in cute dresses

and does thier hair. I even got Jack to wear a pink

tie. We love going to thier house. We get a long so

good and have such and good time. Kiora

always feeds us so good and takes us to Sonic.

MMMMMM Sonic and to the movies. We would

be so bored without her.

Bored

2009-04-09T12:02:00.000-07:00

Kiora came and got us for the week. She is so good to us. The kids were

soooooooo done by the end of the ride. So you know how kids are they start picking on each other. But they really do love each other, at the end of the day.

Matt's gross finger...yuck

2009-03-29T15:13:00.001-07:00

I don't know if you can see it. But he smashed his finger in the log splitter. He got a huge blood blister. Oh and it was already infected from a hangnail. Yes, he has issues.

2009-03-28T18:21:00.000-07:00

I got the opportunity to go to a temple that I hadn't been to. The Billings, Montana temple.

Small, simple, and beautiful. I went as a YW leader (i know shush). I was asked to help in the font. I was more than willing. They grabbed me before the baptisms started and asked if I wanted to do initatories. I haven't done that since I did my own. I think it is by far my favorite. The promises made were awesome. I was given a couple names. I was very anxious to get the last name on my list done. I was overwhelmed with the feeling this person had been waiting a long time. And when I got done it was a huge relief. What a great experience.

taco night

2009-03-24T12:53:00.000-07:00

We have started a new tradition in our family, on accident. We have taco night. Ususally on Monday. It's easy and Jack enjoys it. I have found some yummy taco seasoning, from walmart (Fiesta Brand. extra fancy taco seasoning). It's perfect. We love it.

SNOW DAY

2009-03-23T17:20:00.001-07:00

We have over a foot of snow in our front yard. Yesterday it was 70 degrees. People were out fishing, down by the river. The sun was shining not a cloud in the sky. We wake up this morning, it was raining and blowing. Than the snow started. School was let out early. They didn't know if the buses would make up to our neighborhood. They did and Jack made it home. Matt came home a little early. He made it all the way home and got stuck in the driveway. We are supposed to have 6-12 more inches by morning. Isn't this the 3rd day of spring?.

Seriously this kid never stops...

2009-03-13T11:14:00.000-07:00

This morning while eating breakfast, Jack says to me "Do you know Mrs___?" I said "No, why?" Jack says...wait for it...wait for it..."You know how you have to go to the dr's every year. I think she went to. Because she had to leave yesterday during school."

Oh!! Jack strikes again

2009-03-11T06:28:00.001-07:00

Usually I don't get ready for the day until Jack leaves for school. This morning I was ready before he got up, because I have a the dreaded Dr's appointment. Of course Jack notices that I'm not in my PJ's and my hair is actually combed this morning. So he asks where I'm going. I tell him I have to go to the Dr's. He gets concerned when I go to the Dr's, because he only goes when he is sick or has to have shots. He asks what is wrong. I tell him nothing is wrong, it is just something girls have to do once a year. He looked at me really weird and said "So there is going to be lots of girls at the Dr's today?" .............. I pictured the DMV in Salt Lake City where you have to wait three hours before you can talk to anyone. Could you imagine, all these woman waiting to see the Dr.. Talk about hormones.

Caution: this is inappropriate

2009-03-09T16:46:00.000-07:00

Jack and I had the munchies. He brought out the bag of cheese puffs. I know, so good for me. Jack always asks before he eats something if it is good for him. So I told him that cheese puffs will make you fat. I told him I could feel my butt getting bigger as we ate them. Then he said (caution)..."Than you go poop and it comes out and you are skinny again. Just eat and poop, eat and poop." I've created a monster.

2009-03-09T16:36:00.000-07:00

His first library card. He is so excited. When the librarian told him that he could have his own he was so shocked. Don't you just love him? I do.

New Calling

2009-03-07T17:21:00.001-08:00

Some of you may know. And some of you may not. Matt got a new calling 1st counselor in the Elders quorum. He acts like he isn't excited. But I know different. Matt doesn't know what to do with himself if he isn't helping someone out. And he loves to do it. He doesn't complain about helping someone out. In fact I think he seeks out oppurtunity's to help people. He has a big heart. Just a little stubborn sometimes. So secretly he is excited.

OK GIRLS

2009-03-04T15:17:00.000-08:00

I know this is wordless wednesday, but I need help. Ha ha I know what you are thinking (she has always needed help). But I need to decide on my kitchen how to decorate. I chose mute colors for cupboards and counters, so I could be fun in the rest of the kitchen. These are the things I think would be fun to incorporate in my kitchen; Dr. Pepper, Chickens(cause we're getting some), Roosters, and maybe peppers (for Matt). This is a lot and I would love suggestions. Of course I don't have to have all these things. These are just things I was thinking of that would fit our family. So bring on the ideas. Kiora I know you have more than one. If you will notice in the pictures I don't have a backsplash. We had to take this down when we put in the counters. It was jsut white tile. The valance hanging in the window incorporates the colors in my house. So I would like everything to flow together. If you have ideas for paint color. Anything. Oh and I might have access to tin panels that were used on a ceiling in an old building. If you look up tin backsplashes you will see what I mean. So bring it on girls.

Nice Weather FUN

2009-03-03T18:39:00.000-08:00

Today was so nice!!! We went to the town park. Some of our friends met us there. After playing on the equipment, the kids decided to play on the baseball fields. It was so nice to get outside and run around.

Poor Lady

2009-03-02T15:40:00.000-08:00

So things have been a little tight, I thought I was saving money by grooming Lady myself. She loves being outside and is always dirty and matted. So she has to be groomed a least once a month, or it gets really bad.

The Fight

2009-02-24T21:09:00.000-08:00

I picked up Jack form school today. And we had the usual conversation. "How was school? fine, How was reading group? fine" Than Jack looked at me and said "Mom"....pause....."I got in a fight today." Completely serious. Than he starts laughing. "Just kidding Mom".

The River

Almost done. This is when it was only half done.

But all the cupboards are in now. I will have

countertops in on Thursday. So hopefully by

Friday I will have pictures of the completed kitchen.

Happy Birthday!!

2009-02-14T18:39:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday! My husband is so good to me.

On his birthday which was COLD!! He

tore out our kitchen cabinets to make

room for the new ones.

Dog or dustmop!

Moving again???

Before pictures. From this picture you can't

see the warped drawers or the mice poo that

I had to vaccum and wipe out before putting

ANYTHING in the kitchen. When we got the

cabinets out we found a mouse nest and a lot

of droppings. Oh and a mouse skeleton stuck

to the floor!!! We also found the previous

owners stash of Brandy and Peach Schnapps.

We found bottles under the cabinets.

During the tear down. I will take pictures

when it is all done. I'm so excited!!

Thanks honey, I love you.

WINTER FUN

2009-02-13T14:24:00.000-08:00

A little winter fun. Jack was out of school early

today. So we got out the 4 wheeler

and had some fun in the backyard.

CHICKENS......

2009-02-12T15:09:00.000-08:00

I am so excited!! We are going to get chickens. They will be ready the end of April. It's going to be so fun. We have a shed we are turning into a chicken house. And there is a lady in our ward who rasies chickens and sells eggs. She showed me her set up and how she does it. She has a rooster (we are not having one) who is huge. He claws are massive and he struts around and cockadoodles all the time. His name is George. We really don't have to do that much to get ready. We have all the fencing and the chicken house. We need to get hay and a heat lamp (cause it's cold here) and a place for them to nest.

Dog Wrestling

2009-02-09T08:17:00.000-08:00

Today I wrestled with Jacks dog. She is so cute...

but so much work. Her hair is always growing

and you have to keep around thier eyes shaved

or she can't see. So she wouldn't talk to me for

about a half hour. She went and sat on Jacks

bed. And everytime I got close she just gave me

the eye.

2009-02-03T15:32:00.000-08:00

I forgot that you blog stalkers out there don't

know about Maggie. She is the newest addition

to our family. We got her from the dumb friends

league in Colorado. This is "Matt's" dog.

They thought she is about 3 yrs old.

She thinks she is a lap dog.

So when Matt is home she has to be in his

lap. We love her.

Hi everyone...Sorry I've been gone for a little. But I'm back. So round up the kiddies and make some popcorn...(ok not really). We've been in our new home for a couple of months and have settled in nicely. I have heard from more than a few of you that you miss my blog. So I will try to come up with interesting things to blog about again. Stay tuned.

2009-02-03T13:59:00.000-08:00

This picture was taken from the window in my kitchen.

These visitors come every morning and evening.

My dogs don't give them a very warm welcome.

Settled

2008-12-02T20:38:00.001-08:00

We made it here. We've had some problems but are working through them. I hate unpacking. I think everyone should be avble to leave everything and buy all new stuff when they move. How fun would that be? I will be postin gpictures when I can figure out why my computer won't read my picture card.

The Move

2008-11-17T08:48:00.000-08:00

We sold our house the first week it was on the market. And we have found a house in our new town. We sign on Tuesday. Right now we are in limbo. Matt is staying in a hotel and Jack and I are staying with his sister until tomm. She has been awesome letting us stay and eat her food, make a mess, and use her washing machine and dryer. Not to mention I have my two cute doggies with us. And than inviting us to come in a week to Thanksgiving. Yes she is suicidal. I'm so ready to be in our new house. It's been exciting moving to a new state and selling a house. But I'm over the excitement now. We made some good money on our house and have been able to buy some nice new things for our new house. That has been fun and stressful at the same time. My checking account has never had that much money in it. It's sad to see it diminish. Jack is ready to get to his new school. You would think a kid would be so happy to be out of school for a week, he is antsy to meet all his new classmates and teacher. I will update with pictures after we get in our new house.

Jack and one of his friends. They were

waiting to go trick or treating.

We went to Connies, with friends, and she had

hot chocolate ready for us.

Thanks Connie. We love you.

Jack and one of his good friends from church.

Is he so cool, or what?.

Matching

2008-11-01T07:07:00.000-07:00

Jack came out today wearing non matching clothes. I told him he didn't match. He said it wasn't matching day. I told him that "everday is matching day". He said, "maybe for girls".

2008-10-31T07:24:00.000-07:00

Jack's schools does a costume parade.

But they walk to fast. So I met

them at their classroom and took

Jack wanted to be an "Army Guy"

for Halloween

2008-10-01T22:07:00.000-07:00

I'm going to be so busy over the next couple of weeks. I've started packing. It's amazing how much stuff you can gather (matt). I'm having a yard sale this weekend. I just put my house on the market today and have someone comeing to see it tomorrow. I hope we can sell it soon. Pray for us. I will try to keep everyone updated.

WE'RE MOVING

2008-09-29T18:59:00.000-07:00

So big news. Matt has accepted a new job in another state. We are so excited. We have to be there by October 27th. So I will be packing for the next couple of weeks. And hopefully I will be throwing away some of Matt's stuff (shhh don't tell). WOOOOOO I'm out of Colby and back to the civilization with a mall airport TARGET. WOW!!

2008-09-25T17:57:00.000-07:00

I love my Jack. He told me today at dinner

that his friend knows how to make fart

noises with his armpit. Now it was funny, but

even funnier that he thinks it is the coolest thing.

Like he should do it at a talant show.

Anyway, he told me that

"you have to have sweaty armpits to do it".

And that is why boys can do it better than girls.....

Than he looked at me and said, (I love him)

"Mom you could do it after you workout

cause you are so sweaty when you workout.

You have sweat on all down your shirt

and your armpits are really sweaty.

So you could do it." This is what I listen to at dinner.

Pure entertainment.

The New DO

2008-09-25T09:35:00.000-07:00

Lady got a new look. Her hair was very long.

And she kept getting weeds and various objects

stuck in her hair. She loves being outside. So she

got a haircut that is a little mor appropriate for being outside.

Stake Conference

2008-09-21T14:38:00.000-07:00

Living in Kansas presents a lot of new experiences. When we have stake conference we travel to Garden City (2hrs from Colby). Saturday starting at four we have leadership meetings and than the adult meeting. Just a side note: I've been released from Relief Society and put in Young Woman's with my good friend Connie. We are having a lot of fun so far. We don't get done with our meetings until Saturday at 9pm. So we choose to stay at a hotel and than get up in the morning and go to Stake Conference. Jack had a lot of fun. We went swimming before we went to bed. Actually the boys went swimming and the girls went to Target. And Jack decided that he gets to jump on the bed because he's not at home (so it's ok). Hey stay tuned Matt got a new calling. I will post it next week. If you really want to know before next week you will have to call Matt. He is excited to have a calling again. He has always loved to be involved and serve.

Flipping the Bird

2008-09-19T18:52:00.000-07:00

So if you read my blog you may have noticed that I have not been posting any of my new birdhouses. Well.....I have a new blog for that and if you look at my favs list you will see it under "Flipping the Bird". And if any of you know me, that is the perfect name for my little business. So if you can please put it under your favs to. Maybe I can generate some business. It is still under construction and I need to add a few things. Take a look.

Ariana

2008-09-04T22:00:00.000-07:00

My new friend Leah has a little 4 year old girl. She leaves her at my house when she goes to pick up her son from school. Today Ariana brought Cinderella and some other princess with her. She just got them at Wal-Mart and is very excited about them , so we have to play princess. Leah invites Jack and I to go to the movies with them. Ariana sits by me in the movie and she has her princess with her. And she tells me that her princess has boobs like me. Oh bless her. So I have princess boobs. Than she turns right around and shows me her belly and that she likes her belly and that it is big just like mine. I love 4 year olds, they are not scared to tell you exactly what they think. So I think it is time to start running again (yuck).

The Desk

2008-08-27T17:05:00.000-07:00

My friend had a desk she was throwing out. So I fixed it and

painted it. I also put some cute handles on it. Good as

new and way way cute.

Butterfly House

2008-08-25T17:22:00.000-07:00

This is the Butterfly House. I made it for a dear, dear firend.

So it is not going to be for sale. But I will make another.

Just a little info. This is painted with Kilz and than it has a

clear coat on top so that it can sit outside all year long.

It is handpainted and no stencils were used. This has been

my favorite so far. It took me a week. And I have

loved to see it come to an end. They say when you start

creating your own artwork it is hard to sell some of your

pieces. I'm so glad this is going to my great friend

so I can still see it all the time.

2008-08-21T07:33:00.000-07:00

Let me tell you aboutg last night. Jack tells me that

he is not excited to start school. He said he is nervous.

So.....this morning about 2am he comes in and said he

can't sleep. He was awake until 2:45. Than he wakes

up about 4am and has wet MY bed. So we get everything

cleaned up. And now he is hungry. So he eats a tortilla.

It is now 4:15 and the alarm goes off at 6:30am.

If he makes it through school without falling asleep

I'll be happy. He was worse last night than I am

on Christmas Eve.

Are these Grandpas?

2008-08-16T19:38:00.000-07:00

Saw these at a garage sale. Jack thought they were

funny. So we took a picture.

2008-08-06T17:50:00.000-07:00

Just a little info. I haven't told a lot of people. I'm a stay at home mom officially. It's only been a week. I love it. I did apply for the middle school girls basketball coach. And it looks like I will get the position. It is only 3 months out of the year. And I'm very excited. So ha ha Mom, you never thought all those years (11) would pay off. Well here I go..... Anyway, I have a friend who is opening a craft store. It will be full of homemade crafts from ladies in the area. So this is why I am doing the birdhouses. And having so much fun. So please give your honest opinion and any suggestions is welcome. Also I have no idea how much to charge for them. So I will posting pictures of my newest birdhouse hopefully everyday. So here is my latest. It was a lot of fun and it took me all day....

Summertime Heat

2008-07-20T14:28:00.000-07:00

Our new puppy really likes laying on the vent

when the air conditioner is blowing.

Lady and Oscar are being out watchdogs.

It has been so HOT today. Oh and humid.

So that makes it feel even hotter and your

clothes and skin wet and sticky.

2008-07-16T15:00:00.000-07:00

We went to a friends house today and they have a HUGE

backyard. They have pond and a rope to swing on

and jump into the pond. Jack had a lot of fun.

ZIPLINE

2008-07-14T16:17:00.000-07:00

The zipline is done. Jack was a little scared

at first but now he loves it.

So now I'm scared.

And this makes #4

2008-07-12T16:36:00.000-07:00

Jack will soon be surviving on Jello, Pudding, and soup.

Yesterday his friend kicked him in the face (on accident)

and knocked his tooth really loose. So this morning we

tied some dental floss around it and Nana pulled it out.

Today we went out to eat and Jack just stuck the straw through

the hole. Oh and he learned to whistle. Only four more

to go, and all his baby teeth will be gone.

Some more Summertime

The Treehouse

2008-07-02T17:20:00.000-07:00

Matt has been working in Dodge City since Monday

and Jack is in Colorado with his cousins. So I have been

building this cool tree house since Monday. I just have a

few final touches tomm. and it will be completed. That's

right all by myself. I set the posts two feet in the ground

and secured them with cement. Yes that means I had to

dig the holes by hand. Needless to say every muscle in

my body is sore. Jack and Matt know nothing about this

so they will be suprised when they see it.

2008-06-30T08:11:00.000-07:00

There goes the third. And now his other top

front tooth is loose. It should be gone within

a couple of weeks. How is he going to bite on

anything? He will be eating a lot of jello and

applesauce. So cute.

2008-06-26T18:49:00.001-07:00

New pics of our new addition. So cute.

Oscar is still bugged by her. She likes to

chew on his tail when he is laying down.

2008-06-26T18:29:00.000-07:00

And than there were two. Jack has now lost his first

two teeth in a matter of a week. And I bet another

withing another week. We are going to be feeding him

Jello and soup. He will also get rich off the tooth

fairy. Matt and Jack is going to their first Father and

Sons campout, this weekend. He is so excited.

2008-06-23T19:49:00.000-07:00

This is Jacks new puppy. She is a Shitzu and Jack
named her "Lady". She is so cute. And Oscar is so
gentle with her.

Jack lost his first tooth. He is so excited!!! Congrads Jack.

2008-06-18T08:32:00.000-07:00
