Softball Season is Over!!

Wow...when school started so did all of the sports! We had one is soccer and softball, football, and a cheerleader. It got a little crazy at times traveling to Shae's softball games during the week and then having our Saturdays packed!

Shae was so excited that her Aunt Missy decided to coach this year! They had a great season and have come so far! Shae is a great catcher but she really worked on her hitting this year! Good job Lady Elks!!

One Quick Trip!

Justin and I flew out on a Friday morning from Phoenix and landed in Spokane Washington about 2:30 in the afternoon. A shuttle van took us into Kellogg Idaho. What a beautiful ride!! This dealership owns this whole street in this cute little town and I think it employs most of the people that live there! We picked the truck up and drove as far as we could. We stayed in a little town in Montana and got up early the next morning and drove into Salt Lake about lunch time. Justin had been to the Salt Lake City Temple once before but he was little he really didn't remember much. He couldn't believe the craftsmanship of it all! It was Saturday so it was packed. There were tons of beautiful brides that day and I was wishing Madison would have been with us to see all of those dresses!! Even though it was a quick trip we had so much fun! Hopefully next year we will be making another trip up there to pick up my "mom car" and we will make a family trip out of it!

Raspberry Pickin'

Easton & Kole were great helpers! They competed to see who could pick the most raspberries.

Justin is one serious raspberry picker! It rained off and on all day and he kept pickin'. By the end of the day he was soaked!

Wow! Look how much it made! Yummy!

Madison's Birthday Bash!

Happy Birthday Madison! I love to wake up early and jump on your bed and sing to you but you try to beat me up every year!! Madison loves her birthday and we celebrate all day long!! Madi is such a daddy's girl!

Madison wanted to have the girls decorate their own heart shaped cupcake instead of having a cake.

They played lots of games. Madison and Tylar won the egg toss and this is the famous egg that would not break! The other eggs ended up on my car!

Kelton is 2!!

We would ask him how old he was and this is him saying "Twoooo!"

Kelton turned 2 in July. He spent his birthday in his pool and at the park for lunch. We had a little family party for him that night. He caught on real quick how to open his presents and he was so excited! This could be one REALLY
long year but I am so grateful for all of the smiles and laughter that this little guy brings to my life and our home! He truly is one of a kind!

Shae's Summer Bon-Fire

We planned to have a bon-fire for Shae's 13th birthday on the last day of school but instead Aunt Ashley had her baby. So during the summer Justin brought a bunch of material that was going to the dump and built her this pile...so sweet of Dad! Even a few friends that live out of town got to come! What fun!

Justin & I

Justin and I celebrated 15 years in May. Wow...where did the time go? I'm so grateful for my small town simple life and for all of the wonderful blessings that I get to enjoy everyday! I'm grateful to be able to stay home so that I don't miss out on a thing! I am a softball, volleyball, cheer leading, taxi drivin', diaper changing soccer mom...and I love it!

Justin

Justin is staying busy doing a lil of everything. He has been coaching Easton's football team with Jeff and my Uncle Ron. They are so fun to watch! Surprisingly he is loving it and he loves those little "Mighty Mites"!

Shae

Shae is 13 (ouch!). She stays busy with softball, soccer, young womens, and she is president of her 8th grade class. She starts volleyball in a week. She loves sports, riding horses, music, food, and hanging out with her friends.

Madison

Little Miss Madison just turned 11! She is cheerleading this year...surprise, surprise! She loves to read, music, friends, jewelry, and of course the boys! She is alot of fun and I just love hanging out with her!

Easton

Easton is almost 7 and is in 1st grade. He loves school and is learning how to read. It makes me sad to see how fast he is growing up! Easton loves to ride his four wheeler and hanging out with his Dad. He is playing football this year and is enjoying the games and the practices not so much.

Kelton

Kelton is 2...need I say more? He is my full time job! Everyday he makes me laugh! He is the funniest kid! He is constantly on the move...it doesn't matter what it is he can get out of it!

So excited....

So this whole blogging thing is so much fun but all new and I am still trying to figure it out. But thanks to some much needed help (thanks Jocelyn!!) I'm going to get started.

My whole life is on a memory card so I don't even know where to start. So I going to start with the kids...
