Bunches of fun! Huge Beans Bags from Mom & Dad and a motor scooter for Cole and a car for Jaxsyn. |
Our baby graduated form elementary school. I am not going to lie this was a hard day. I had been dreading it for the whole school year. Junior high are you kidding me. It is a day full of mixed emotions, happy she did so well and loves to learn and is a good girl. Sad because she is making her own choices, you have to give her freedom and you can't just kiss all of her ouchies away. She has grown into a great young woman and we are so proud of her. She has made great friends and loves life and loves to laugh.
Her awesome friends! They are a cute bunch!
Right before graduation!
Jaxsyn's Dance recital!

Nate & Ashley had a new baby! He is so cute! Greyson Karl Hirst, Coleman was so excited to get a boy cousin on the Hirst side. 
This was all of our 1st trip to Lake Powell, it is gorgeous there. This is the book we got my Dad for his birthday! The kids grabbed it to pose with it since they are posers!!
We went fishing for a few hours. Ryan could have fished all day long and the next day, so next time we will make more time for it. 
This is the real them, acting silly and laughing! Gotta love it!!
After
This was a really fun an memorable trip! We had to 4-wheel in to the driveway and hike the rest of the way 200 yards with all the bags & kids in 2 feet of snow! Once we got in we got to relax and enjoy the warm cabin! The kids had a great time and can't wait to go again!
We delivered yummy cupcakes to some of our friends in the neighborhood. I had ordered a dozen White Chocolate Raspberry cupcakes form one of my Young Women, and I forgot until after I had promised Ryan some Skor Cupcakes. So we ended up with bunches. They were yummy though!!
Jaxsyn's friend had a Fancy Nancy party, so she dressed up. She didn't want to wear a dress, but she looked like a teenager in her outfit! I love the fact that she had the sunglasses in her hair!!! I can't believe this is my baby, it makes me a little sad.
This picture is a perfect example of how each child is in a picture.
Samantha- She has her eyes closed! We always have to take twice as many photos if she is in them. She can't help but blink or look away EVERYTIME we take her picture.
Jaxsyn- A poser (usually sassy) she always is ready to pose for a photo! And even has the head tilt down.
Coleman- He is always wishing that he didn't have to take pictures. And he is squinting, he has never liked it when it is bright.
Ashlynn- She has always been very photogenic, thankfully! She seems to know exactly how she looks her best! She has been like this since she was 2!
Sam was on the white team! They have been learning about Greece so they had an Olympics. It was fun to watch them, they are so competitive now!
As you can see he didn't have the fastest car around he was actually one of the lowest! But he ended up having fun and is already planning out his next car for next year!
Look how grown-up he looks!
Here shortly I will find my camera cord, and so there will be real posts! m But until then I will tell you I have lost 6.5 lbs in two weeks! I am so excited, this is the longest I have ever dieted so I am totally proud of myself!!
I just joined a Biggest Loser group!! Tonight I had to weigh in front of 5 other people. I did it!! Now the work begins!! What did I get myself into! But this picture is some of my motivation! Wow I look chubby!
The mountain in the middle of the culdesac! The neighbor rented a tracter and made a big hill pile in the center for the kids to play on! They loved it and played on it for hours and hours!!
Snow day!!! It was so fun for the kids to have school canceled. I had watched it snow and snow and snow the night before. While I wrapped and wrapped, and wrapped Christmas presents. I woke up wondering if they would cancel school and even thought I am going to let my kids stay home and play for awhile before I send them to school. But then they canceled school!! Yay! It was a really fun day, I had hot chocolate going all day and during lunch I put their snow clothes in the drier so they could go back out again! Really fun day!
