Katelyn's Big Day!

Katelyn was baptised on Saturday. I was a wonderful baptism. She was so excited and Ryan did an awesome job. Thanks to everyone who came it meant a lot. I always have a hard time at milestones like this. I really miss my mom and dad. Its hard to not have my mom here to talk to.

The rest of the day was spent at volleyball and soccer games. Jordan won both games. We are now in 2nd place in soccer. She is having tons of fun with this team and they have been very welcoming to her.

This week Ryan is getting ready for Elk hunting. He will leave on Friday and be gone a week. I still haven't decided if I am going on Friday for the weekend. I love to go but its a lot of work to someone to stay with the kids and make plans to be gone and them taken all ove the place.

Ryan picked our peaches yesterday I think we have a bushel and a half. I am going to atempt to bottle them. This is another time I wish my mom was here. Wish me luck.

Its already a busy week I really don't know when I'll get it done. Not tonight I have young women. Maybe Thursday. Have a great week!!

Happy Birthday Katelyn!

It was Katelyns Birthday this weekend. It was a fun weekend. She had a few friends sleep over Friday night but before they came we took her to get her ears pierced. She was so excited. On Saturday we had a vooleyball game and a soccer game. Jordan won the volleyball game and we tied the soccer game. They played so hard. 2 players were injured and one of our best players broke her arm earlier in the week. Plus it was pouring raining. Kate had another birthday party to go to and then we went to the fun park and to Iggys for dinner. When we got home Jenny and the boys, Mike, Kendra, Chuck and Kristi came for cake. Katelyn got a electric scotter. She loves it. She rode it all day Sunday. I was pretty lazy on Sunday. I did make a couple of peach pies because a friend brought me some peaches. I hope our peaches are done soon it tasted so good. Now its Monday and its raining. So we can't go out to play. What am I going to do all winter? These kids have so much energy. I hope everyone else had a great weekend.

Yeah! Dads Back!!

Well he's only been gone 3days but we always miss him. He had tons of fun. I posted some of his pictures. He did come back with some big blisters on his feet. He hiked up to union falls in yellowstone which is about a 7 mile hike. Friday night I took the kids to get their pictures taken. They turned out great. I posted them below. We had a busy but relaxing day Saturday. I got up early and went and did my shopping in logan. Then Jordan, Josh,Claire and I went on a run/bike ride. We ended up at Bruce and Julies and Cortni and Ted were there. I did their P90X workout with them. Lets just say I woke up Sunday feeling a few muscles in my abs I didn't know I had. Then I took the kids to a movie and we went to buy Kate a new dress. It was a good day. We were suppose to go to Tremonton for a soccer game but it was cancelled. I was glad it left the day to just have fun.

The Guys

They had to hike through several rivers

YEAH!! Its Friday

Well I am so glad its Friday. I always am, these kids wear me out! although I have a million things to do tomorrow that I can't get done during the week. Jordan tied her game on Wednesday. She played really well. She is liking this team and playing so much better. She also started volleyball this week. So its going to be crazy for a few weeks playing both. Katelyn will be turning 8 next week I can't believe it. She will be baptized on the 27th. Ryan left for backpacking in yellowstone. It was suppose to snow last night I hope he stayed warm. Well don't have a lot of time we clean the toy room on Fridays and it takes a while to get the kids to get it done. I have to bribe them pretty good.

that made the 3 mile hike in with her heavy backpack worth it.

Well I did it I finally got a blog.

Over the weekend a friend talked me into starting a blog because I can't remember anything. So even if no one reads it I can remember things about my kids. Well we have had a fun summer I added a few pics from the summer camping, lava hot springs, cherry hill, backpacking to whitepine lake and bear lake. Now our lives are consumed by soccer games and homework. Jordan is on a better team this year. They tied their first game, lost the second and won the third. I don't have to much going on its Monday and I am tending kids they are all running around screaming. We had to come inside because while I was watering my flowers they started to pull off all my peaches off the tree and throw them at each other. Wow 5 little boys what they won't think of.
