These kids are so funny to watch . . . . not a care in the world.

Awesome being on the same team with best bud Kort.

Baseball, Softball, and of course T ball

I'm so proud of Trent. He started out the year timid and afraid to swing the bat. . . . by the end of the year he was hitting it !! Yeah!!

His team took 4th in State. . . more that anyone thought they would go in the beginning. Nailbiting games and lots of nervous parents . . . . Holy Cow!!

He got the team ball of their last game for having such a good attitude.!!!

Holy Cow

Easter

Family time

Coloring eggs

beautiful flowers,

Beautiful eggs.

I love Easter time. It's a time of renewing. New flowers, new fresh weather, new baby animals and a renewed feeling of love. What a beautiful thing our Heavenly Father has given us at this time of the year to renew our feelings. To remind us of the wonderful thing that our brother Jesus Christ did for us, and that by Him resurrecting and fulfilling the requirements we can live forever with our families and with Him. Wonderful!!!

Happy Birthday Emylie

I don't have a very good picture because Emylie hides when I get the camera out. I don't know why, she is a beautiful girl. I can't believe she is 14. I still remember the day she screamed the whole way home fromt he hospital ( she hated her carseat). She is turning into such a wonderful young lady. She know what she wants and doesn't let anything stop her. She also has decided what she wants her standards to be and doesnt' back down. I know her Heavenly Father is proud of her for this, as I am.

She is a good big sister and takes care of her siblings lovingly although there is a lot of teasing too. I know she has their best interest at heart and want to help them be the best they can.
I am proud of her and love her so much.

Scott and I are so lucky and blessed to have all these sweet spirits in our home.

Happy Birthday

I have been terrible at keeping up on the blog. Bad mom, Bad mom.

The twins celebrated their 10th birthday on April 13. I can not believe they are 10. We just had a couple in our ward have twins that are about 3 months old now, I remember our twins being that little like it was yesturday. The time has gone so fast.

Taryn is such a cutie. She was so quiet and so shy for the first 2/3 of her life, but the last couple years she has really come out of her shell. She is such a good girl and so pleasant to be around. She loves to laugh and has the cutest dimples. She also loves to dance, jumprobe and about anything there is to do outside. She's my little bug, loves to catch bugs, critters, and all sorts of things. Happy Birthday Taryn!!!!

Trent is our all around boy, loves sports, music, and video games. He loves adventure. He is now playing baseball and is likeing it so far. He loves to learn and is always telling us random trivia things and what he is learning. He fascinated with Science!!

Baseball Tryouts

Trent will be playing for the Razorback. He hasn't played for a couple fo years, but really wanted to try again. Here's to a fun season!!!!!

Ward Skating Party

Our Ward Skating Party. Everybody had a blast, whether skating or just watching.

Joey's first try at skates.









After a tumble

Hokey Pokey anyone??

I don't have a recent picture of Scott, but today is our 15th anniversary. I can't believe the time has come and gone so fast. I think of our dating time and it seems likes just yesturday, then I look at our beautiful family we have created together and just get mystified at how lucky and blessed I am. When I was dating and not finding anyone to marry at the age of 20, 22 etc. I thought I would be an old sphinster woman. My patriarchal blessing kept coming to mind that in the Lord's timetable things would happen. I am truely happy that the Lord had his time table and had is hand in having Scott and I meet. I am so blessed to have him and to have my 5 beautiful wonderful children. I don't know how I allow myself to get sad about things or frustrated with things when I have got such a wonderful blessing to be with me for eternity. Thank You Scott for loving me. Thank you Heavenly Father for giving me Scott and our wonderful family.

Taryn's Chorus

Taryn is in the Manila Magic Chorus at school. She loves to sing and I love to see her dimples when she smiles. Their director is such a neat lady and teaches them harmony, history and some pretty difficult songs. We love you Tayrn and are so glad you are taking a talent that Heavenly Father gave you and making it better.
