First day of School

After a move and a hard decision of changing our minds many times we decided to move Ethan to a new school that is closer to our new home. At first Ethan was really upset. He loved his old school and all his friends. But now that he has been in school for a few weeks his new school is growing on him. Amie also is going to a new pre school...needless to say our first day of school this year was an interesting one.


Amie is at school 3 days a week now. It is nice to only have one baby at home for a few hours. I can't believe how much she is growing up.


My Big boy!!! I can't believe he is in First grade. He loves school and is such a fast learner. It sure is nice to be able to walk to school now.

Camping and Amie's Birthday

Earlier this summer we went camping and got to do some rock wall climbing. The kids had fun and did really well...

Amie getting ready.


Ethan was so brave...I am so proud of him!

Nathan reached the top! GO NATHAN!
My Princess turned 4 this summer! I can't believe how big she is getting.

Here is the cake. I am really pleased with how well it turned out. Especially for my first time using fondant.

Oh, What do you do in the Summer time?

Enjoy our beautiful valley....

Yummy S'mores on a hot Summer night....
Horsen' around....
Play a little peekaboo....

Is that what you do so do we!!!

Amie's take on her mom

"This is my mother. Her name is Emily. She is about 15 years old. She has blue eyes and brown hair. She weighs about 13 pounds. Her facorite food is hambergers from McDonalds. She is smart, she knows all about shoppin' for my clothes, and helpin' out at brother's school. She spends most of her time havin' fun with me and brother. Best of all mother likes to hide under blankies in her room. Mother takescare of me by letting me do the jobs! I think my mother is best in the world because her takes care of us with love. If I could wish for anything in the world for my mother, it would be for to be in that new house so some people can look at our house.

Love, Amie

Emily and Nate plus Eight (years)

Eight years ago today I was sealed for Time and all Eternity to Nathan! It has been eight years of blessings and trials but what a great ride. Here's to another Great Eight!!

Nathan's Birthday

Nathan turned the 32 this year. I keep telling him he is sooo old! I guess when I hit my 30's I will fell bad for giving him such a hard time but until then, I really don't feel so bad.

Easter

This year for Easter we had all the grandkids come up for a visit to Grandma and Grandpa's. It was so fun to see my sister's girls they are all really close to the age mine. And they love to play with each other.




Here is all of them together. It was pretty cold and the "slight breeze" didn't help much. On the top row is Teagan, Amie, Ethan, Kaylee, Ashley, and the babies on the bench are Paige, Aubree, and Brookley.
