Thanksgiving....

So it was a very busy week last week. I had Thanksgiving dinner at my house and my brother and his family came down to eat with us. It was so good except I cooked the turkey a little too long but it was still good. We had a great time visiting and eating. Then on Friday we had to all head to Poky for a wedding. Larry's little brother Brent got married on Friday evening. It was pretty crazy and last minute kind of thing but turned out very nice. He was so excited to get married and they are both so in love with eachother, they looked so good and happy! So that is what counts, right!? We got to visit with some great friends and family. We did a little shopping at the mall but going to Pocatello's mall after going to the Boise mall is not that great. Boise mall is so much better and way bigger, Poky's mall seems really small now. Anyway, I am officially registered for school next semester. It will be the start of a very long 7 years of schooling. I am so excited yet very nervous at the same time. I keep telling myself that I can do it, I can do it, I can do it!!!! It will be good :) So I didn't get one picture of last week, big bummer, I had too much on my mind. I am just now getting Christmas decor up. For some reason I am having a hard time with Christmas this year. I don't want to do anything and I really don't know why. I love decorating for Christmas but this year I have no motivation or desire, really weird. I will post some pics of my tree for sure. The kids are soooo excited for Christmas. Natalia keeps saying all I want is a new phone, nothing else. Yeah I bet she would be really happy on Christmas morning with just one present! The boys both want wii games, legos, and LOTS of other crazy stuff. I haven't got one darn present yet, I am amazing, lol!

Halloween '09

Here are the boys on Halloween this year. Ryan was a punk which suits him totally! He is definitely my crazy one. He is very funny and is so much like his dad that I am completely frightened for him to grow up!! Seth is my sweet, loves his mom, very good boy! He is so much like me its crazy. He is absolutely obsessed with Star Wars so of course he was Obi Wan Kanobi. I don't know how to spell that!! Anyway I didn't get a lot of pics cuz Halloween was a crazy day. The pics of Natalia somehow did not work out so I am going to have to have her dress up again so I can get the pics on here. She is a mixture of both Larry and I. She is very cute and loves clothes and shoes like her mama but she is also stubborn and thinks she knows everything like her dad;) Her and I are becoming best friends which I love! She will tell me everything. I just hope that she continues to do that! Anyway I can't believe that I have actually posted 3 posts today, WOW!

Back to School.....

These are some "First day of School" pics I took of the kids. They love their school's and Natalia is now ok with wearing a uniform. They have made tons of friends and we live in a great neighborhood! I will post some pics of my house soon. We LOVE our house. I am having so much fun decorating and doing fun things in each room!

Bear Lake '09

We absolutely LOVE Bear Lake, we have to go at least once a year. This year we didn't know if we would make it or not but we finally did the week after labor day. It was a perfect time to go, not too many people to bump into! Our favorite place to eat after a day on the lake is the pizza place in Garden City. It is soooo good! We love to play on and in the lake. We were able to take Larry's parents jet ski's with us and we had a blast!

Summer '09

Its been a long time since I have been on here. I hate sitting at the computer and uploading pictures it drives me crazy! Anyway we are still here and moving along. We love living in Nampa and really enjoy our home. We have an excellent ward and great neighbors. Our kids love their school and are doing really well. Our summer went so fast and crazy but we did get to do a little bit of fun. We love Bear Lake and boating and jet skiing. We also went to Pallisaides for the first time this summer and had a great time with my family. Anyway here are a few pics.....

Update...

So life continues to be crazy busy. I survived our move from La grande, OR to Nampa, ID without any casualties!! I am loving every minute of it. I just love having our own home once again and the fact that I am now not working and staying home with the kidos who I love so much! I am enjoying putting my house together and decorating it. I will for sure post some pics of my house very soon. I can't believe how fast the days go by even with me at home now, it really is so weird! I am now thinking of going to school this fall when the kids go back to school. I am going to try and get into Boise State. I am very excited about it and nervous as well. I don't know how well I will do since I have been out of school for too long. Anyway we are enjoying our summer here in Nampa. It gets very hot here which we love. The kids got to go and stay with grandparents for a week and they had tons of fun. We will be going to our new ward for the first time on Sunday and the kids are actually excited to go and meet new friends, which makes me happy. So life goes on and I actually am enjoying it for the first time in a very long time, I am loving being at home and taking care of my family and house, it is so fun and rewarding. So all of you who would love to come and visit us and see our new home please do!! You are all invited....

Just stuff....

So here are a few pics of the last couple of weeks. Natalia has been performing a lot. Its wrapping up for the year so they have pictures and a recital coming up that is always a lot of fun! She loves to dance and is always dancing no matter what. She will be eating dinner and after a couple of bites she will do some dancing moves, its pretty crazy but I love that she loves it because she is really good at it. The boys got to go to the supercross race in Salt Lake a couple weeks ago and loved it. It was rainy and very cold but they had a blast!

Update on moving: We are slowly moving our stuff to our new house. It makes my life so much easier to do a little at a time. We are scheduled to be completely out of this place by June 6, which is rapidly coming up. We have been going to Nampa on the weekends to take stuff and do yard work, it has been a lot of fun! We are all very excited to be in our own home again but I think the kids are a little nervous to move to another school and have to meet new friends. Anyway that is the latest....
