LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!!!!

There was lots of thrills and spills, but in all they can't get enough of the snow.



The snow this holiday season has been amazing we got at least 2 feet the kids have had alot of cousins to enjoy the snow with this year, they have had a blast.....

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!

Christmas was great! Christmas Eve we had a party with all kinds of good food, the kids were so excited for the next morning they wanted to go to bed, but we made them stay for the torture of reading stories, singing songs and playing games etc.

The most anticipated morning finally came and up they were at 7:30 to run to see what Santa had left and by no surprise they had been good all year, what a great day!

We love Christmas but it goes by to quickly, can't wait until next Christmas.

We also had a very WHITE CHRISTMAS which just added to the rest.

THANKSGIVING FUN!!!!

This year we went to Chris's house in Koosharem, we had a good time cooking with each other even though all of our hard work only lasted 15 minutes but there were some good eats and we just had to veg. for a little while after. We wished the whole family were together! We missed you.
Chris, the camera is straight ahead!! HA HA

The kids had a blast Zack and Marisa got along with each other so well, here they had to go and get away for a little bit and watch a show that only they could watch. "Ice Age 2"

The boys went duck-hunting every day, this is thier trophy's for one of the days. They had a blast!!!!!!

Ross, Brennan, Kaden, Hunter and Justin.

Shelby and Melanie are the best of friends, they decided to go on a "4-Wheeler Adventure" and adventure it was, it took about 30 minutes just to get them ready for the weather and they were not cold when they came back!!!!

We had a really good time, we did several things Me and Chris relaxed, played games, sung and ate - ate - and cleaned up!!!!! That's really all we did and wanted to do minus the clean-up part.
Thanks so much Franks for everything, we can't wait to go down there again maybe next

week. JK

9 Years old TODAY!!!

Dear Kaden,

Today you have been in our family for 9 years, you have been a joy to have around with your little crinkled up head and those little freckles on your nose that I love soooo much. You always have a smile on your face and you are passionate about every thing that you do, you are very talented and if you put your mind to something you will get it done. I love you with all my heart Kaden and I know when I am ever down you are always there to pick me up, you love everyone and are very sensitive to other people feelings and I love that about you. Kaden you always make me happy no matter what don't ever change, I am so proud of you and I am so glad that you are mine............

Love, Mom

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET BOY!!!!!!!

The Sweetest little 6 year old ever!!!!!!

Sunday we came home from church and we were sitting around the counter snacking and suddenly Zack said.

Zack: Mom, is there a job that I can do?
Mom: (thinking) you can go and clean your room!
Zack: OK! and he ran up the stairs with no hesitation and started working away for about 15 minutes.

I started thinking and asked Justin what they learned in primary today Justin couldn't remember either could Kaden or any of the other kids (that's really sad since we just got home). So Justin got his lesson book and looked it up and sure enough it was on helping and in the lesson it had a thing to do like help around the house and when your done leave a heart. So sure enough Zack finally came down and didn't say anything and when I went upstairs later there laying on the bed was a little note from him. I maybe had a little tear, skocker!!

Thanks Zack for being such a good boy and listening to lessons in Primary.

Cheer Competition!

Saturday, Shelby and her cheer buddies had a competition at the High School, they had a blast competing. There cheer squad is the only one that only had a hand-full of girls the others had 15 or so.

HALLOWEEN 2008

Happy Halloween!!!!!

The Jack-O-Lanterns all lite and waiting for the Trick-or-Treaters.......

We went to the Pumpkin-Patch to find pumpkins that will soon turn into Jack-O-Laterns........
*notice the warm clothing I love this weather, except me in a coat I am always cold*

After the pumpkin-patch we came home and made carmel apples. YUM YUM YUM!

Costume Time!!!!!

Halloween fun with school-parties and buddies to trick-or-treat with. The kids had so much fun on halloween they look forward to halloween all year long. I'm not to keen on all the candy but kids have to be kids and at one time I tried to get the most candy too.

Shelby's friends! Their costumes were the hit at the school. Brylee, Shelby, Sadie, Sarah, McCall and Tieler. They really couldn't do anything with the boxes not even open their milk.

Zack's class, they are sooooo cute at that age.

Zack and Dallin trick-or-treating. Zack is iron-man and Dallin was NOT Batman he was a Bat!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
