Happy Birthday Girls!!!!

I am grateful for the chance I have to share a special day with my sister Kellie & my sister-in-law Taniel...Kellie has been sharing her birthday with me since she was 2....

It was 13 years ago that I was able to share our birthday again with Taniel... Thanks Ladies for sharing a special day...HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADIES!!!!

Mountainview 2010

I fell so strange saying that I have a son who will be graduating from mountain view, But I do and here are his SR pictures thanks once again to my wonderful sister Crystal...

I took advantage of the moment to get one of him and Karly because they have a special relationship with each other.

MY EAGLE SCOUT!!!!

I am so proud of Chad and his goal to complete his Eagle... From the time he got his 1st cub scout shirt he was proud to be a scout. I think it shows on his face he is proud to be a EAGLE SCOUT!!!!!!

Chad's Eagle Court of Honor will be on Saturday January 23rd and 6pm in our ward building . We would love to have as many people there as possible...Come share in his joy...

Karly's 1st photo shoot

Karly was able to go with me when I took Chad to do his SR pictures with my sister Crystal. With hopes I would get a new picture of her to hang in the hall..

I just love the spunk and joy this Lil girl brings into my life, she has a way of making us all SMILE!!!

She thought she was so BIG to get to go and do pictures where the BIG KIDS (chad Shelby & Bailey) got to go!!!

BUT more more than anything I love the relationship she has with Chad. I love to see them holding hands and headed off to the store or out to lunch....

But most of all I am grateful for my sister Crystal and the relationship I have with her... She has truly become my best friend and I am grateful for her talents and that she shares that with my kids.....

Brady turns 12....

HOLY COW where is the time going I feel like I was just holding this little guy in my arms and now is is bigger than me!!!

Brady has always had an amazing smile and can light up a room...

He enjoys running around with his friends and will even take a brother or sister along ( sometimes)

This kids as always loved sports, football or baseball he loves to be playing....

It is not always being the middle child and having little kids around all the time but Brady is a great kid and an amazing help to me.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!!!!

Christmas Day 2009

There is nothing better than Christmas morning with your kids.. All the stress and worry about getting things done no longer matter....Karly was happy to help Shelby show off a new pair of shoes... And Shelby was helping Karly with her gifts...Gotta love having a sister...

How did Santa know that Chase had his bike taken from our house... And he brought just the right size.

And some how Santa knew that on the top of Brady's list was a phone...His mom kept telling him next year but I guess Santa won this year.

The request from Chad was to get a TV for his room and with a little help between parents and Santa he got it.

There is no one Karly loves more than Dora so a BIG thank you to Grandma & Grandpa Sullivan for a Dora doll and blanket.

Christmas Eve 2009

Christmas Eve is a special time because we get to spend it with JUST our kids. It was a little hard because Chad was at work. I think that helps to prepare me for him being on a mission next Christmas. The kids always look forward to getting new PJs.

And showing them off!!

Santa gets to come in and fill up the great stocking that Mom makes...

And leave a few things behind for those little one who were good this year!!!

Chaser

Chase was very proud of his candy train from school. I think he was so happy that I was able to get into his class room thanks to Karly being in pre school

BFFs

Shelby was really excited to go do a photo shoot with my sister Crystal and there is so many good one to pick from but here are a few.. (Moms Top picks)

Enjoying Dad

The kids have really enjoyed having Dad home for 2 weeks. One day they decided that they needed to sleep on the trampoline, Chase bailed on them when they were asleep and he was not tired. So that lead to a 2ND night of sleeping on the trampoline, but the kids were excited that Aunt Crystal let her kids sleep over.. Maybe next time the boys will stay too.....

Enjoying the RV

We have had the chance to help Cory's cousin out by parking their RV at our house.. As you can see we have enjoyed having it around. We even drove it to Thatcher for Thanksgiving...

Brady, Chase and Karly did not have to say much to talk Cory into taking the RV out on an overnight campout, they had a good time hiking around.

You have to love when Dad gets 2 weeks off work at Christmas break and you can just play!!!

Thanksgiving....

Well I am trying to play catch up....Thanksgiving 2009 Thatcher AZ... We were able to go and spend a few days in Thatcher visiting my parents...

It was really nice to spend it with some of my extended family...Aunts, Uncles, cousins and best of all Gram... We treasure each time we see her....

Taking time away from sewing projects to go on walks with Stacey and kids
