Please Pray for our friend....

Chad's good friend was in a terrible accident last week. Chad taught him how to fly and helped him get a job with SkyWest. The doctors say that Doogie is paralyzed. We are praying that he can prove them wrong! He has a lovely wife and three little kids. Please pray for their Daddy and our friend! You can find his story at captaingordonhyde.blogspot.com


This picture was taken about 5 years ago. Doogie took Kyle and Chad ice fishing.

The End is Near

The end of this school year is quickly approaching. It feels like I have a hundred programs to go to. The first two were today. Kyle's class did a fourth grade program about Utah. He had a speaking part and sang several songs about Utah! He did a fantastic job! Today was our last day of preschool and Landon and Spencer performed in our little graduation tonight! Luckily, they both did great! Phew

I love this girl!

I love this girl! She is smart, talented, funny, gorgeous, a good listener, patient, helpful and most of all she brings out something in me that I haven't seen in a long time!
















Last week in Jasmine's teen living class they had a mock wedding. She was a bridesmaide. She and some friends bought matching dresses. The bride chose blue and white for her colors (what's up with that). They all wanted to have their hair curly (again...what?...I always wanna get rid of my curls). I didn't know how to help her hair get curly. I don't have hot rollers or sponge curlers. So, we rolled it. We called it the corn holleeooo's! She got extra credit if she decorated a cake. I thought it turned out really cute! She's even cuter! She'll be getting "pregnant" this week and having a baby. What is up with this class? She ABSOLUTELY loves it and loves her teacher!

Sping Break in California

We took the kids to California for Spring Break. We are not much into Crowds or standing in lines, so we opted out of Disneyland. The kids just wanted to go to the beach. Unfortunately, the day that we did, it was windy and cold and Landon was pretty sick. The next couple of days we decided to just stay near the hotel and swim and go to the mall. It was fun to just be together and relax!


A cold day at Huntington beach. This was our last beach stop. Landon was asleep and Jared didn't want to get out.


Chad and the boys in San Clemente

Family Picture on the pier in San Clemente I spent almost the whole day holding at least one of the kids

In Long Beach with Queen Mary in the background and a homeless guy behind the monument next to the kids...nice!

In Long Beach...hmmm I am holding another child

First Beach we stopped was Long Beach

Landon in the Hotel pool

Spencer's swim suit was too big...so cute

The best part of the trip for my boys is always the airplane ride! They love it!

One last time!

Chad took Kyle out of school early today to go snowboarding one last time. He was very excited! I wish I liked skiing or boarding so I could see him in action in person! Chad does a great job of taking pictures and videos. I just wish I could get the video's to upload. Arrggg!

My Poor Jared

Jared had an accident on Tuesday at school. His class was coming in from recess and a little girl was tugging on his shirt and made him fall. I guess he hit the black top pretty hard. It is a good thing I love his teacher, or I would have thrown a stink. I am just thankful that we didn't need stitches and that he didn't break any of his teeth! He is one sore little kid!






This was taken today (Thursday) two days later!

I did it...I really did it!!!

What do you call a girl with Six boys, two dogs, a seven year old birthday party and two soccer games all in four days? Some would call her crazy, other would call her a crackhead! I am proud to say that I survived with no drugs, only large doses of chocolate and small doses of vanilla cola (its all i had). Jared had an awesome birthday party. Jasmine and I made the cutest pokemon ball inviations. I gave them all away and forgot to save one for my own records (maybe i'll have the energy to make another one someday). We played lots of fun pokemon related games. My friend Konnie came and helped (what a lifesaveer). Grandma Julie made the most awesome Pikachu cake and everyone had a great time.

Everyone loves getting a little cash on their birthday
