"WOW, WHAT A SUMMER, SO FAR"

I have been so horriable about my blog latley. This post is going to be HUGE, so here it goes!

EASTER MORNING!! Was a blast! The Easter Bunny hid the Easter Baskets in the dryer this year. It took the kids forever to find them. I was hoping the Bunny would have done some laundry while he was here, but he didn't!!The girls looked so cute in there easter dresses and the boys were so handsome for church, like every week. Went to G & G Parkers for Easter Dinner and an Egg Hunt! WONDERFUL DAY AND GREAT MEMORIES!!

TY'S ART PROJECT!! Ty got an award for his painting at the Art Show, it was for "Best Shadowing" his picture was of a Bucking Bronco (imagine that), Ty is such a good kid and loves to draw.

TY'S WELLSVILLE MILE!! Ty also ran in the Wellsville Mile again this year. It was a cold day but no rain like last year. He did very well and was pleased with his time. He also got to see his good friends from Wellsville, Hung out with Jace all day. GO TY!!

SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER!! Yeah, I love this day, it is so great to have the kids around all the time. Although Jared takes most of them everyday to work with him, at least they are doing the stuff that they love. There teachers this year were amazing and we want to put a big THANK YOU out to them for loving and teaching our children this year.

SHADIE'S GRADUATION!! Shadie had a wonderful year in pre-school. Here teacher is wonderful and helped so very much in getting her ready for Kindergarden next year. Thank you TEACHER SUSAN. Here are some pictures of her graduation, very cute program.

WAYLON'S BIRTHDAY!! Our little Waylon turned 7 on May 19th. He is so loving and is so eager to show his love to anyone he comes in contact with. Waylon you are so special and we love you. For his birthday dinner he requested homemade pizza, salad and an ice cream cake. It turned out well and Grandma Marilyn came to celebrate with us. We sure love this lady!

Mc'KENZIE'S GRADUATION!! My niece McKenzie graduated from Mount Crest High School this spring. She looked so beautiful at the ceremony, We had a little BBQ for her before and got to celebrate with all the family. Good job Kenny. We love you.

WAYLON PLAYING SOCCER!! Waylon had a great season this year in soccer. He is a really good player. He loves to play forward and loves to try to be the first one to the ball. You did great son and hope you keep with it.

TEMPLE SEALING!! On May 29th, 2005 Jared, I and our children were sealed for Time and All Eternity in the Logan LDS Temple. Every year on the date we go to the temple grounds and walk around and just visit and talk about what happenes here at the Temple. Very special!!

RAIDEN WAS BORN!! Yes, we are Great Uncle & Aunts, my niece Brittany and her husband Shaylon had a baby boy on June 8th and 12:13 am. He is perfect, mom and baby are doing great.

MOM'S HAIR!! The kids wanted to do my hair one night, so here is the out come. It took forever to get all the bows out, but it was fun!

LAS VEGAS!! Me and my sister Shea went to Las Vegas for a long weekend. We headed that direction to run in a 5K, which we did along with all the other stuff. We had a blast and wished more of the family could have come. The run went great (for my first run), but it was HOT!!

TY'S HORSE CAMP!! WOW horse camp this year was cool. Ty got to do Reining for three days and he also got to use Jared's horse Blue for the classes. Big thanks to his instructers Jason Romney and Trisha Parker (we kindof like her) and to everyone eles that helped put on the event. It was so great!!

VIRGIL'S HORSE CAMP!! V's horse camp was only one day because this is his first year. He loved it and learned so much. He passes off some stuff toward his rank advancements and loved all of his instructors. His horse Gus did well and liked being painted up for the final performance. Good Job Virg!!

HORSE RIDING!! This summer we have set some goals to go riding most every weekend. Some times it doesn't work but we have gone on a few rides as a family and have had a great time. WE LOVE FAMILY TIME!!

SWIMMING WITH THE FAMILY!! My sister Shea's inlaws have a pool in there backyard and they live just up the street from me, so we get to swim there sometimes. This last weekend we had a swim day with all the cousins. It was so much fun, my kids got FRIED, although I put sunblock on them 2-3 times, they just swam it off!

ROANI'S 1ST BIRTHDAY!! Roanie is really 1 years old. I can't believe it. Were does the time go? She is so cute and has so much personality. She is walking and talking and we found out that she loves the water. She loves all her older siblings and loves spending time with DADDY (which she says, but NOT mommy) and JP loves it to, she is the first one to the door (after momma of course) to kiss daddy after work. The picture of her and grandma Marilyn is Roanie was so tired and Grandma was scratching her back and within just a few min, she was asleep, Grandma must have the right touch. Roanie you are so special and we are so glad she came to our family. WE LOVE YOU ROANIE!!

JP'S BIRTHDAY & FATHERS DAY!! I think the best part of JP's Fathers day and Birthday's were that he got to sleep in. He is such a hard worker and takes very little time for himself or even for sleep. We made him breakfest in bed both days (since they landed on SUNDAY) cooked his favorite meals and made homemade Ice Cream. Hope your day's were great and we all love you very much.

VACATION TO SHEA'S HOUSE!! This last week, me and the kids headed to Aunt Shea's house. JP and Brenden were both out of town so we decieded to hang out. Wade came down also and Bret met us for lunch one afternoon. While we were there we took the kids to Strawberry Resivour and went Craw Dad Fishing. It was so much fun to watch the kids get so excited about catching one and trying not to get bit while doing it. We also went to a movie, Cabela's,and just relaxed for a few days. Thank you Shea for letting us come and invade your home, also thank you for all the wonderful meals you planned, your a faboules cook, we all had a blast!!

Sorry this post was so long, but we have been really, really busy.
