Always playing Catch-up

Well I'm not so good at updating my blog anymore now that Facebook is here. So it has been awhile since my last post. In August our Family went to San Diego- we went to Sea World, LegoLand, Disney Adventure, Disneyland, and the beach we had such a fun trip the boys loved it all.

Jakob is in 5th grade, Kaeden is in 3rd grade, and Archer started Preschool.

Talmage turned 2 in Sept.

James ran in the St. George Marathon.

Jakob got glasses in Oct.

Family Reunion

We had a great time at James' Family Reunion. We were all suprised to find out that James' Aunt Joan had made the trip to be there. I love Aunt Joan she is an Amazing person and I was so excited that she made the trip to be there. I love talking with her and getting to know her more. We stayed in a cabin in New Harmony and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! This was the view from the deck it was Amazing.

We had a great time relaxing and just hanging out with Family.

They had so many fun things for the kids to do on the property. It was a kids paradise with a Barn that they turned into a game room. (Actual games not electronic ones like Ping pong, Foosball and Air Hockey and Darts), little farm where the kids could gather the eggs every morning, tree houses and a Trampoline and a fishing pond. My little family on the deck.

And one of Talmage because he looked so cute!!!!!

We went on a hike up Kolob Canyon with some of our relatives. The boy's had a lot of fun catching Poly Wogs and frogs along the stream with their cousins.

We had a great time and hope to see our relatives soon.

Always playing catch-up

I think with all the new options to post things on I have really let the blog go. I'm going to attempt to keep it updated but I'm not making any promises. James is working for the church now and really enjoys what he is doing there. He also ran in the Ogden Marathon. I'm the Sec. in the Young Women's program and I love every min. of it. I get to be with awesome girls twice a week. I couldn't ask for a better calling. Jakob just finished 4th grade. Jakob performed in many plays in school. Kaeden just finished 2nd grade. He was 1 of 4 students in his whole school to receive the math award for outstanding math skills. Kaeden was also baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ on June 1st. Archer is excited for preschool this fall he has been asking to go to school since Aug. Talmage definitely fits into this family. He is just as wild and crazy as his brothers. We are looking forward to a fun,relaxing,hot,exciting summer.

Well since my last post we celebrated Jakob, Korrin, and Kaeden's Birthdays in May. We were down South for our Birthdays and were lucky enough to have both sides of our family's there. We had a lot of fun.

We spent some time in Zions with my Family.

Our cute family.

The boys always have a lot of fun throwing rocks in the water.

James and I also celebrated our 11 year Anniversary. June 7, 2001

Talmage: Age- 8 1/2 months Weight- 26lbs He is a big boy.

I was the Camp Director for Girls Camp. This was my 2nd year doing it and I had so much fun with the girls. And James survived for 3 days without me.

We spent the 4th of July at our neighborhood Parade in the morning.

Then went swimming with my Family. The boys love being with their Aunts,Uncles and Cousins.

Then our evening ended with dinner and firework show with our neighborhood friends.

It was a great day and a lot of Fun...

Recap Again

Life has been crazy with 4 boys. So I decided it was time to update my blog. Archer turned 3 on January 30th.

Jakob has always been very creative and has always had a great imagination. So I wasn't suprised at all when he came up with this for St. Patricks day.

Coloring Eggs for Easter Talmage not sure what you do with the eggs. But then he has his father as an example.

The Easter bunny didn't miss our house.
