Christmas was wonderful. We had a great time in Mesa with Jason's Family. All the cousins were there but the oldest one. 16 all together ranging from 8 months to 19 years old. All the cousins had matching cookie monster PJ's and had so much fun together. This was the last Christmas we will all be together before the older boys start to leave for missions. I feel so blessed to have married into such a wonderful family.

Hello Everyone and Happy Holidays

I get so excited this time of year. Everyone around you just gets a little bit nicer. What can be better than that. We cut down a Christmas tree on Saturday. One of our family traditions this time of year. What could be better than everyone searching the mountainside looking for the perfect tree. We got lucky there was no snow this year. I remember the year when Kaden was a baby. I had him strapped to me in a baby sling, while pulling Morgan in tow. The snow was about 3 feet deep and I would sink to waist level about every 3 or 4 steps. We eventually send Jason ahead with Kegan and Kelby, who were 8 and 5 at the time, to find the perfect tree. When they returned, Jason had The tree in one hand, Kegan in the other and Kelby on a sled that was tied around his chest. From that time forward we decided that we would go a little bit earlier in the season. Have a wonderful holiday season.

Kaden's Allstar Baseball

Kaden had a great year in baseball this year. They won the State Championships and were able to compete in the regional tourney that was held in Meridian. Way to go Kaden!

we love to get out of the house

We love to color eggs as a family at easter. We have the most unusual designs. Sponge Bob, Ladybugs, VW's, Humpty Dumpty and more.

just a quick look

We can't wait to have another child join our family. We have thought about adoption for about the last 10 years. It has really been in about the last year that we have decided to go ahead with the process. Our children are so excited to have a new brother or sister that they talk about it almost every day.We do so many things as a family that it is hard to mention all of them, but some of our favorites are, motorcycling in the sand dunes or in the Idaho mountains. We attend all the many sporting events that our children participate in during the year which include, swimming, basketball, track, football, and baseball. We also love to take vacations to all kinds of places that the kids have never seen.
