SPRING BREAK!!!

What does one do when they have a 2 long week break from all the normal demands of life? Well, for me it has been sleeping in to 7:30 a.m. instead of 6:00 a.m. (Yeah Me!), organizing, playing catch up on housework, planning my homeschooling lessons, spending time with my kids, went to the zoo, enjoying 70 degree weather, yard work, played basketball with my son (he is getting good. He is surprised at how well I played, for being old he said), gave my son a family birthday party, updating my blog, reconnecting with long lost friends on facebook (where did 15 years go?), talking to my BFF Misty in Utah (sniff, sniff, I miss her), being a mom and wife, talking to my mom on the phone, shopping and just being there for my family. Boy, have I enjoyed my 2 weeks off. Monday starts back to the normal demands of life but I LOVE IT!

Dillon Is A Bear In Scouts Now!

Last night was a scout pack meeting and Dillon got his wolf badge in scouts. He is so excited! Now he is a Bear and so his dad is his leader now. When they turn 9 they become a Bear as long as they have worked hard to earn it. Here are some pictures of last night.

Dillon and his dad!

When a scout earns their wolf badge, the scout puts a pin on their mom. So I got a pin of a wolf. It's an exciting moment for a mom for all our hard work in helping our kids.

Dillon's 9th Birthday Party!

Beautiful Pictures.....Thanks to Heavenly Father

This was a harvest moon that my kids saw the other night and wanted me to take a picture of it. This was at one end of my street and at the other end of my street was a beautiful sun set. Aren't they great pictures? It was a beautiful night to be out.

My wonderful and talented husband!

Look what my wonderful and talented husband made me!!! A home schooling cabinet to match our bedroom set. I love it. No he didn't make our bedroom set, we bought that 3 years ago but you can't even tell that my new home schooling cabinet wasn't part of the bedroom set. Thanks Honey, I love it!

Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn is 14 years old and is in the 9th grade. YIKES!! She is such a beautiful young lady. She is a big help to me. She is really girly. She is so talented. She loves to read books, sing, write stories and play the piano. She's been taking piano lessons since February and she is learning how to play so fast. I love listening to her play. She sings in a children's choir for the 6th year now. She has written and published her 1st book at the age of 13 1/2 years old. It's an LDS fictional love story. She worked so hard on her book. She loves hanging out with her friends. I am very proud of her.

Dillon

Dillon is 10 years old. He is in the 5th grade. He is all boy!! He loves all sports. Even when he is in the house, (which isn't very often) you can find him watching ESPN and animal shows. He loves Animal Planet. He never was into cartoons. Soccer, football and basketball are his favorite sports. He is really good at them too. He loves scouts and is now a Webelo. He loves to be outside, doesn't like rainy days, loves to get dirty, and is non-stop fun. He is so easy going and just a happy child with a sweet spirit. He loves to work with his dad. It doesn't matter what the job is, as long as he is helping, then Dillon is happy. He is such a hard worker. He will work with Jason all day until someone tells him that he has to stop. I hope he will always continue with the same hard working drive that he has now.

New To This........

I started this blog in May 2008 and only wish I had started this earlier. I've been hearing about this whole "Blog Thing" and thought that I would finally take the time to try it out. I think I am finally getting the hang of it, after a few trial and errors. I am hoping to use this blog as a family picture journal. I'm not good at keeping up with my scrapbooks, especially pulling it all out and making a mess everywhere, so this seems to be easier to log in family memories as they happen. I love to take pictures of my family. So you will see many pictures on this blog. It will be fun logging in all of our family memories. I am hoping to get some family and friends into this too, so that we can share pictures of our family.
