Highlights of 2012 and 2013. Post #1

 In the summer of 2012, we had Jocelyn our new niece(almost) come and stay with us for a week. We had a lot of fun, and she got to do a few things that she doesn't get to do in SLC. One of her highlights of the trip was to ride horses. Our neighbor is great to us and has let our kids ride several times, so we asked her if we could this weekend. Jocelyn had so much fun. We also got to go in and visit with her birds, they talked to us and flew around and spent sometime on the kids heads.

 We Peter and Kaylie came to pick up the kids, we borrowed my parents 4-wheelers and had some fun with those as well.

Gavin having fun trying on the big boys helmet. What a cute little man!

So, as I mentioned above, Jocelyn was my almost new niece. Shortly after that visit Todd's brother Peter got married!!! It was kind of a fun senerio, Peter got married to Louise's ( peter's sister) husband's Sister. So all their kids will be double cousins. How fun is that? Todd and Peter's Uncle's married sisters, so they have cousins that are double cousins.

So I posted several pictures that I thought were fun from the temple and the reception! :)

The reception!

The end!

Easter 2012

Tay was finishing up her YW recognition projects in 2012. One of her projects was make Easter baskets, and then take them to our local care center. We coned my family to come and help out. It was a great experience that we had so much fun doing and the residences enjoyed as well.

Some of her other projects!

 Banks for all the kids!

Gratitude board.

 Memory quote book.

She made 2 sets of YW value plaques. She sold one and donated the other set to the Mona 3rd ward Young Womens.

Tay was able to earn her recognition, just a little bit before she turned 13. She is such a good girl, and way more spirtual and on top of things then I ever was at that age. She is on her 6th time of reading the Book of Mormon, and has read it 3 times with the family. She does this all without any reminding from us. This year her goal is to study it deeper and gain a deeper knowledge of it. :)

More Easter

Easter Weekend Fun!

Oh look, I random picture of me, someone stold my camera, I am not suppose to be in picture, always behind the camera is my thing. :)

I love TJ's little hand trying so hard to reach the egg!

It's been awhile!

So I really haven't blogged much in about a year and a half. I choose to stop, because my life got busy. I decided that was a mistake. As I was looking back through my previous years, I realized how much I enjoyed it and it brought back good memories. This blog has been the only time in my life that I was pretty good at journaling my life. So over the next month or so, I will be kind of catching up, I know that people say you shouldn't try to back track, just start fresh, but I have to many things that have happened that if I don't document them, they will be lost from my memory or at least have big holes in them. So be patient with me as I back track. They won't necessarily be in any order, I will be entering them as I remember them, but I just need the things written down. Then I will get back on track for this year and hopefully never get that far off track again.

good-bye

I don't think I will be blogging for a bit or getting on FB. I need to get away from the computer and figure out some stuff in life, so good-bye for now. If you need to ask me questions or get in contact with me, shoot over an e-mail, text or call.

Tay!!

My friend highlighted Tay on her Blog. Check it out!

What is wrong with me???

Yes that is the question? I really do have plenty of time to catch up my blog, but when I got behind, I was really busy. So I guess it is like anything the longer you wait the bigger the job is and the harder it is to get started on it. That is where I am at. I really do want to catch up. I wish I didn't get behind, since this is the only sort of journal I have and I know by getting behind by almost 7 months I will inevitably  miss something, Oh well, can't do anything about it now. So over the next week or so I do hope to get things caught up. I won't promise myself or anyone else that I will stay on top of it, but like always I will try. I know for family that doesn't live close this is one of the links to our lives, and I am sorry for being so neglectful, please forgive me. Until tomorrow. I wish you all a good night!
