I'm Back!

Well guess what? I am back!! Not that any of you missed me very much but I decided to take a few minutes to post our new family pics. They are so good and I was so excited when I got them. They were taken by a great friend of mine who really knows how to take pictures, thanks a ton Michelle, I love them, you are a great friend! Anyway I have tons of pictures of all the stuff we have been doing so they are coming I promise. We have been extremely busy as usual and by the time I get a few minutes I really don't want to sit at my computer but I decided its been long enough so I promise to post lots of pictures this week. Anyway let me know what you guys think of the new pics, I would love to hear your comments!

Happy New Year....

Well I have been a bad blogger lately! I feel like I have to fight everyone to get on MY computer, so we decided to get another computer. We will now have 3 computers, Yeah!! So the last 3-4 weeks have been crazy as usual. We did get to go home for Christmas for a few days and we had a great time as usual. The kids had fun and loved their gifts. I do have a story about that. Because we live in this wonderful valley we don't have very much shopping and so the internet is wonderful BUT stuff takes a little longer to get to us. So we decided to get the boys electric guitars, new skateboards, and shoes from "Santa". We got all of them off ebay because of the weather we could not get out of town to go shopping. So we get the guitars no problem. Seth's skate board made it as well about 2 weeks before Christmas. Well we couldn't find Ryan's skateboard as fast but we finally did on ebay and it was coming out of Utah so we figured it wouldn't take too long to get to us. Well to make a long story short we ordered Ryans skate board it shipped out on Dec.14 we did not recieve it until Dec.28 when we got back from Idaho. We didn't get his shoes either. Seth's shoes came on Christmas eve so we got everything for him but not Ryan. So we had to tell him they were from us and Santa brought him the guitar and the legos. So anyway it was very interesting! I felt so bad but he actually did better than I thought. He did say one time why did Seth get more presents then me? So that was fun! We did get through it and the roads were terrible when we traveled but we made it and had a good time. Now we are into the new year and I have made a few goals this year! Hopefully I will achieve them. I will tell you all that one of my goals is to learn something new. I kinda think I might want to learn how to knit or croche(not sure how to spell either of those words!), so we will see. If any of you know how to do either of those things maybe you could teach me??

As promised....

Here are a few of the pics I took at my brothers wedding in October. I am no photographer but I sure had fun pretending! As I sat for hours on end retouching and fixing I wished I would have done some different stuff but oh well. I think that they turned out pretty good. If you read this Stevie- I am working on an album for you and Kriste! Anyway let me know what you all think, I would love to hear your comments!

Busy Busy....

Its seems as though time has sped by and I am now playing catch up. We had a good Halloween. We all dressed up scary this year and had a great time. I love to dress up with the kids it is so fun. We love Halloween! Larry and I got to go to a costume party this year and had a great time. I didn't get any pictures sad I know but oh well. Larry was an angel and I was a devil-very fitting right!? Then this past weekend my parents came to stay and I was so excited. We spent most of the time just visiting which I love to do with my mom. Then I talked her into taking our pictures for me (I still want you to take ours next month Rachel!) so that I could take theirs as well. Only 1 picture of us turned out but that is ok. Ryan did not want to have his picture taken so he was being difficult but I am happy with them they are cute. The kids and I didn't want them to leave it was so nice to have them here. Anyway we have been really busy still and time moves too fast. I am still working on some wedding photos but will post them soon hopefully!

Utah trip....

Last weekend we got to go home and then we went to Salt Lake to my brother's wedding. We left friday at around 1:30 and made it to Poky around 8 their time. Then we woke up Saturday and got ready and stopped by Larry's grandma's and saw her for about 30 minutes then left for Salt Lake around 11. We stopped in Layton and ate lunch with my other Brother and his family then checked in to our hotel and went to the wedding in West Valley. Another lady and I got to take the pictures and I am so excited because some of them turned out so cute! I will post some when I get them fixed and ready to go! We had so much fun even though it was so short yet again. We did make a quick stop at the Gateway mall in Salt Lake wich is my all time favorite place to shop!! It is so fun and pretty. The kids got to climb the rock wall in Dick's Sporting Goods and Natalia made it to the top! Ryan did not want to do it. Anyway we had a great time but 3 states in 1 day is a lot of driving! I will post some of the wedding pictures hopefully later this week. What a busy time in my life but it is all good!

Home for the weekend...

This past weekend we went home to our niece's baptism! We left friday afternoon and came back sunday night so it was a very quick trip. It was so nice to see our family even if it was only for a little while. It seems like every time we go home everyone wants us to be here or there and it ends up that we don't get a whole lot of time with anyone but it is still nice to go home. Lindsay was very cute and excited that she got baptised. I got a few good pictures of her and my brother Brian. Congrats Lindsay we love you!

Spring Break and Easter...

I can't believe how fast time goes!! This past weekend I had off so we headed out of town and went snow boarding. It was so much fun and the best part was we got out of town. The only bad thing was I forgot my camera. I was so sad. I always forget my camera when I want it the most. Larry was like I can't believe you forgot your camera again!! Anyway we had a great time. Natalia is like a boarding pro now she is doing great. The boys had a lot of fun but got tired around lunch time and didn't want to go anymore so they played in the snow then went in the truck and went to sleep. The lodge had a easter egg hunt after lunch and the boys enjoyed that. We had a really good time. Snow boarding is really alot of fun. I fell on my butt a lot and my arms were/are still so sore. The last time Larry and I went boarding was about 5 years ago. I have my own board but everyone else had to rent theirs. We also colored eggs for the first time this weekend! I have never colored eggs before, I know weird, but we had fun doing it then we ate them the next day! Of course I didn't take any pictures I really don't know what I was thinking but obviously not to take pictures! Well I think that is about all of it in a nutshell. I sure wish I had some new pics for everyone but life does go on, right?!

Smile box...

I found smile box on someone's blog and downloaded it to my computer and I really have been having fun with it. I am really bad with words and sayings so it isn't that great but I was messing around and that is what I came up with. I can't believe all the stuff you can do with a blog! It really is fun and educational for me. Anyway life has been pretty boring in our world. Just work and school. The weather here is snow and more snow! I do love the snow but I hate driving in it. We hopefully can go snowboarding one of these weekends. The kids keep begging to go so we will have to it just costs so much to do!!!
