Nephi's 40th Birthday

We had been planning his 40th surprise birthday party for a while now, He had no clue that this was going on. It is really hard to keep him out of the loop, but it sure was fun to see his face when he walked in and saw all of us there. I really can't believe I have a 40 year old brother. He doesn't seem that old. Nephi is a fun brother and I love him very much. He is the kind of brother that would do anything for anyone. He has a very kind heart and is very good uncle to the kids. Happy 40th Nephi!!! I love you!!!

What Justine like's to do...Basketball

This is one of Justine's passions, Basketball!!!! She is playing now for the city league until after the new year. She will begin play for her school in February. She is very good at it. She is also one of my competitive kids when it comes to sports. She played her first game on the 11th. The first quarter of the game they stopped keeping score. Justine and her team scored 20 point. The team works very hard during practice and the coaches are great with the kids!!!!

We have not had a "Family Photo" in forever, so while out at my sisters house we decides to just do a few and this is the one I thought was the best that was taken. Needless to say the wind really didn't help to much. I think we will be planning a new day. This will work for now!!!!

Homecoming 2008

Wow...I can remember the day John & I were going to those special dances. John"t" and Josie are just really good friends. Her brother Shayne and John"t" are good friends as well as play football together. So Josie is more like a sister to John"t".

Jace's fieldtrip

Today, Jace went on his field trip to the corn field over by C.A.C. They learned that the Indian's would grow the corn and use it to trade for things that they needed. He said that they got to pick the corn and learned that corn grows from a seed. He told us that corn is also put into other foods that we eat, like taco shells and corn bread. He got to bring the corn home that he picked with his new bag that they put it in after picking it. Jace had a fun day and this will be something he will remember.

Cortney's Birthday

Last night we celebrated my little sister's birthday. We had a very good time and it was well deserved. Sometimes life just takes us all in different directions that we don't always get to be together and it sure gets hard to spend time with the ones that mean the most. Us mom's all need to get away from kids and husbands and have those special girl night's. I am very blessed to have wonderful sister's and grateful to my sister in law Meaghan that we share such special a bond with one another as well as with our mom. Our mom is such an amazing person and we are all very blessed to have pick her. I had fun and always enjoy being with you all.

Driving me crazy!!!

Well, John"t" is now and has been 16 since June. I now have the added stress of my son out there driving with the crazy people on the road....HELP!!! He's really a good driver, but the other drivers are way to crazy!!!! I think when your so young you feel so excited to be driving as you get older driving becomes a hassle and you just don't want to do it, if at all possible. Well, John"t" seems to feel like he needs to drive everywhere we go, that is where the stress hits me. I of course let him drive and pray a lot as we are driving that nothing will happen and we will make it safely home. I know that this added stress will be lifted at some point, but I am not sure when. All I can do is just continue to pray when we are out....wish us luck!!!!
