I love Spring when everything comes back to life and it's just so green and pretty. These are just a few of the flowers we planted last fall. I think we'll plant more bulbs in the fall it was a lot of fun to watch them come up as the snow melted. I thought I would post these even though we've moved on and planted some summer flowers now. I'll post pictures of those later. Spring is such a hopeful season, don't you think?
These are a few of the graves we were able to visit this weekend. I really do enjoy the peace we feel when we go to the cemetery. I thought I would post these for those in our family who weren't able to come visit this memorial day, maybe next year. This is our son Braxton's I can't believe he would be 13 this summer.
These are my dad's, another I can't believe moment...it's been 5 years this summer.
These are our grandparents. This is our niece Kaili. Her family lives far away and we thought they would enjoy getting to see all of the things that were left in memory of her. And finally a little family picture these are all of our kids.
Why is it you don't realize how much hair you actually cut off til you're in the shower the next day and you pour way too much shampoo? Time for a new look. I had 6 inches cut off last night and then decided to try and figure out what my real color just might be. It's kind of a light to medium brown now. I guess I should be grateful that every time I've colored this last 6 months it's come in darker not grayer. So I guess we'll give this color a chance and see how it goes. Maybe brunette can have more fun:-)
We had the opportunity to be part of a parent ran preschool program this year and it was great! Brock had a wonderful time, mom got to help and Gracie tagged along. The pictures are of some of the kids that were involved this year. We celebrated the end of the year going bowling and to McDonald's. What more could a kid ask for? I can't believe he is heading to kindergarten this fall. Time sure flies when your having fun.
Dustin and I met at ISU almost 18 years ago in a class his dad told him not to bother taking! In May we will celebrate our 17th anniversary of being married in the Idaho Falls temple. Dustin is the most incredible man I know. I am inspired by how deeply he cares about being an awesome husband and amazing dad. He loves to work in the yard and make our home a great place to be. I can truly say time definetly flies by when your having fun.
Braxton
Our First! Our Angel!
These are pictures of our first child, Braxton. He was born June 14, 1996 and passed away September 23, 1996. He was born with breathing problems and eventually passed away from complications of pneumonia. I can't believe he would be 14. We miss our little angel and we are sure he is busy being a missionary in Heaven.
MaKady
Miss MaKady
MaKady, what can I say... She loves to cheer, read, write, shop and has just discovered the fun of blogging. Click on her picture and it will take you to her blog. She is loyal, kind and a great friend. She wears her heart on her sleeve, laughs when others laugh, cries when others cry. She has discovered the joy of making her own money. What a JOY she is in our family.
Meggan
Miss Meggan
Meggan is so much fun to describe. She always brings a smile to your face. She loves to dance, play soccer, read, and tease her brother and sisters. She thinks of others before herself. She loves a good joke. She has many hidden talents. Ask her to share them with you. Meggan is also a huge help around the house. Meggan would eat ice cream 3 times a day plus snacks and dessert. It is her favorite food, especially if there is a cherry on top. Meggan is great at making friends she wants everyone to feel included. Were glad she's part of our family.
Brock
Mr. Brock
Brock is all BOY! He only has two speeds fast and faster. He is so much fun to visit with, he always asks great questions. Brock loves to climb poles, walls, mountains, anything. Brock makes friends with everyone, people standing in line, cashiers, the girl who cuts his hair pretty much anyone who looks interesting. They are just friends he hasn't met yet. Brock loves to work with his dad. Brock also loves school. Brock loves tools and weapons so he defintely holds his own in this house of girls. He is so full of love. We are grateful for the addition he is to our family!
Gracie
Miss Gracie
Gracie is growing up so fast! What happened to my baby? Yes she gets away with more then the other kids because no matter what she will always be my baby. She is so determined "stubborn" to get what she wants, do what she wants and we hope that she is always determined for the right things. Gracie loves to play "makeover" and if none of her sisters want to play you can find her giving all of the dolls in our house new looks. Gracie is a sweetheart!
