These pics dont do the storm justice, but can I just tell you how bad it is out there!! I told Mark not to come home, it just isnt safe. We have people in the area pulled over everywhere. Its nice everyone is concerned about everyone else. Notice the garbage cans are still standing- not because its not blowing, but because they are absolutely frozen to the ground. I do feel bad for the animals right now. They all have a spot to get out of it, but its still dang cold out there!! Everyone stay warm tonight!!

Another month gone....

and Im not sure if I have accomplished anything! Why is it that life seems so crazy but yet, nothing really gets done?!! We have had a couple birthdays.

I think I have this same picture when he was two years old.




Im not sure who liked the cat more, The twins or Aspen.

I did get the twins hair cut!! Are they not the cutest little bald babies ever?!!

They could stay busy for hours doing this. One is dumping the sand out while the other is scooping it back in. ;)

Caden was awarded his arrow of light.


Halloween happened... The twins were sick and so they just came along as 'twins'.


Aspen and her cousin were baptized together.


and as of today, we have water from our new well, and we have a hole dug and they are pouring the footings as we speak. Moving right along.

Did you wonder if I would ever blog again?

Here is just a quick rundown of a few things we did this summer. There is too many pics to upload so I did the short version.


We went to the zoo!


Dar and Sara

We visited cousins for a couple days. Marks sister and Husband were so much fun. I absolutely love them to death!

We went to Temple Square... I dont ever realize how many there are of us!

We had three kids do animals for the fair this year!

First day of school.
Brooklin in 7th, Caden 5th, Daisy 3rd, Aspen 2nd and Gemma Goo in 1st. Yep that means I only have three boys home with me. My life is EASY!!
Oh ya....and we looked at a billion homes and a million house plans. We hope to start building in October. Yes...Im totally excited :D

Four of the kids took part in a community play here in town and they had so much fun doing it. Daisy, Aspen and Gemma were orphans and Caden was President Roosevelt. It took up alot of our time in June and I was glad to have it come to an end, but they did an awesome job in it!

June

Random pics of things we have done this month so far. The end of May Brooklin had her final Rising Stars concert, which is always a great show whether you have kids in it or not.


Gemma is still busy being a little mother to the boys. She is a great help. She is also getting that 'I can do it' attitude and stomps really good when she doesnt get her way.

Daisy got herself a new puppy which she is thrilled to have. It gives her alot more jobs, like picking up the yard after the pup drags the muck boots all over ;)



Hunter is outside ALL the time and is oving ife as you can tell.

Aspen did a great job in her school program. She loved school and did a really good job this year.

Everyone at Uncle Scott and Aunt Oleta's graveside (Marks brother and sister in law)

We have been playing a little. Trying to take some family time in between Marks tests. He is officially a Pharmacist in Idaho and we find out in a couple days if he passed for Utah as well.






Daisy is still playing the piano and has such a talent for it. She taught herself a couple new songs just so she could play the prelude song in Primary.



Caden and his 4H Bucket Calf.

I cant seem to keep Hunter out of the dirt. Most times he is up and out of the house before I can even wake up.
