Excavation Begins!

2012-02-07T19:08:00.000-08:00

Day 2

We just started our new house! We are so excited! I thought this would be fun to blog about

and have all the progress recorded. So here we go with a large hole in the ground. The kids thought

it was awesome. Who doesn't love a pile of dirt.

Brooklyn....always ready to strike a pose!

We went to Utah and spent time with friends and family! We loved seeing our nieces and nephew there. We did our own firework show......lots of smoke!

2010-08-09T17:56:00.000-07:00

We went to the cabin for some cooler weather!!

and fished with Grandma and Grandpa!

After 2 hours we caught 1 fish then gave up to catch crawdads!

Spring Break 2010

2010-03-25T13:29:00.000-07:00

Yes, We are crazy! My friend and I took 6 kids to Disney for 15 hours. I don't think any another explanation is needed.

And then Damon and I took 5 kids skiing! They all did a great job and had lots of fun! ....but after taking an hour just to put their boots and skis on, we decided we are definetly beach people!

Pumpkin Patch!

2009-10-24T12:22:00.000-07:00

Cousin Zach! So cute!

This is my first field trip to not be carrying a baby around. I was with the baby. Weird for me. My baby is growing up. He loved the pumpkin patch.

Disneyworld!!!!

2009-10-20T13:46:00.001-07:00

I think E is way cuter than Woody!

Owen wasn't so sure about the army man from Toy Story.

Brooklyn and I loved the American Idol Experience. We didn't sing (haha) we judged.

This was by far our favorite ride, Toy Story. Damon always had the highest score. We rode it 5 times to see who could improve their scores.....we're not competitive at all!

It was so much fun and so exhausting! It was way to humid! (97 degrees with 92% humidity) That didn't stop us from going all day though. The kids loved it and we all had such a great time together. Here's some pics from the trip!

Random Summer Pics-

Just because I was bored.

Owen and his buds

2009-09-28T20:37:00.000-07:00

We started a small play group every Wed. I think we are both loving it. It keeps Owen busy and he has instant friends to play with since the kids are all off to school.

2009-09-28T20:36:00.000-07:00

Damon gave Mason this shirt for his bday! I thought I should post a bday pic!

Happy Bday Mace!

2009-09-28T20:33:00.000-07:00

I can't believe Mason turned 6. It seems like yesterday that he was born looking like a little old man with white hair. We had him in Texas and call him our "token texan"! He is so full of life and always ready to have fun. He keeps us all smiling all the time.

date with Gramps

2009-09-28T20:32:00.001-07:00

Brooklyn had a great first date! She went to dinner, dancing and dessert with grandpa. I think they both a great time! Thanks Dad!

Football has arrived!

2009-09-28T20:28:00.000-07:00

How cute are they? Mace looks so Pro!

San Diego

2009-08-11T17:47:00.000-07:00

A few pics from our San Diego trip. We stayed with the Jones' at their beach house and it was so much fun. We all loved it. I think we really could live on a deserted island somewhere as long as there is a beautiful ocean with great beaches.

Here's the pics

2009-08-11T17:39:00.000-07:00

I forgot to download the pics for my last post. Owen is sad but at least he has Roxy!

Kids are back in School!

2009-08-11T17:36:00.000-07:00

I'll post first day of school pics after I download them. The big kids are gone and Owen is sad. By 11, he asked if we could go pick up the kids. Our house is much quieter. I told O this is what it's like to be an only child. I think he misses the noise and the kids alot.

More pics from summer!

2009-08-06T14:24:00.000-07:00

If you look close in this pic you can see the DS we left behind. I'm sick about it. The restraunt said we didn't leave it there. "Yea! Well I see it on the table!"

Newport and Utah pics! We had so much fun in Utah. We love staying with the Masons. Thanks to the Masons for housing us and taking us boating every summer!

Newport Beach!

2009-08-05T15:25:00.000-07:00

Newport is one of my most favorite places to go! We love the beach and all the shops near by. ....love the doughuts and the tacos. My kids never get tired of the ocean! This year we went with the DelFosses's. The kids had so much fun together. They stayed so busy with water and sand.....who knew.

Summer Backwards!

2009-08-05T15:16:00.000-07:00

We had alot of fun this summer. It seems like we created many memories. I think it'll be easier to start at the end and go to the beginning. Maybe because the wedding pics are so fun to post. Preston and Hilarry's wedding was amazing. She did a great job picking everything out. We are so lucky to have such a beautiful sweet new sis in law and aunt.

Let The Summer Begin!!!!!!

2009-05-18T20:30:00.000-07:00

Crafts

2009-05-18T20:22:00.000-07:00

We made the clipboards in our midweek activity and the hair flowers in another wards. Aren't they so cute. We are giving the clipboards to our teachers for end of the year gifts. Sorry, the lighting I took the pics in was not so good.

Brooklyn Academic Night

2009-05-18T20:18:00.000-07:00

Brooklyn made academic night this year, again. (straight A's all year) Here she is. I can't believe she is going to JR Hight next year. Crazy, I'm getting old! Here she is at her piano recital with her Grandma's and at her 6th grade musical, School House Rocks.

Fathers and Sons Outing

2009-05-18T20:13:00.000-07:00

or we could call it, "Girls Night Out". ALL the boys went this year. Yea-Hee for us. Brooklyn and I went out to dinner, watched a movie and got Golden Spoon. (my favorite). They were home before we knew it the next morning....but I think both parties had lots of funs.

more buckets

2009-04-13T11:44:00.000-07:00

More pics of buckets since you're interested in making them. These are Stephanie's. I stole the pic from her blog. Hers were the inspiration!! I love them.

Hilary Blankenship -soon to be Rosenhan

2009-04-13T09:35:00.001-07:00

Preston and Hilary !!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah! Preston(the last bro to get married) is engaged! We are all very shocked and super excited. We had no idea and neither did she. Here's a pic for the sis in laws who haven't even met her. For the record, I think she's great and couldn't have picked a cooler chic for Pres.

Easter buckets

2009-04-13T09:33:00.000-07:00

I got this idea from the super crafty girl I visit teach. We made them at the last minute but I love them.

Dinner?

2009-03-23T19:56:00.000-07:00

So I cooked ribs (all day), twice baked potatoes, and veges for dinner. The kids all looked at it and said, " gross, what animal were these ribs on" Brooklyn said, I can't eat and look at bones. So Damon and I ate and cleaned up. Then the kids said they were hungry, so I got out leftovers from last night and made top romen for Owen. I said if that's all you wanted for your bday dinner, I could've made top romen in 2 minutes. Sometimes I don't know why I cook.

Owen is 3

2009-03-23T14:45:00.000-07:00

Although he can't pronouce 3, it's pee, he is still one year older. Mason said, " i think he is talking

older today?.?". Maybe he is. Owen has been so fun for us. We love him so much and love his anry little faces. I can't believe my baby is 3. I'm getting really old. I wish I could freeze our family right now. I love their ages. We will miss having a baby in our home. So anyone want to lend me one......anytime.

Spring Break

2009-03-23T14:37:00.001-07:00

SPRING BREAK! We had a relaxing time at the Point South Mountain. We went with a few friends and stayed one night. You get to use the water park for two days. The kids played at the water park all day and got way too much sun, but had a blast. I didn't get too many pics. We also saw a movie and went on a hike to the Wind Caves. Damon and I took turns carrying Owen up the mountain. Mason tried hitching a ride but we told him 5 1/2 is just too big to be carried. He cried some of the way but he still made it. It was a mile and a half each way. We saw 2 snakes and a gila monster....pretty cool!

No more diapers!

2009-03-09T14:17:00.000-07:00

I know Crazy!!! I've been changing and BUYING diapers for almost 12 years. Seriously, that is along time. Owen is potty trained, which is our biggest news in a long time. We will not be buying anymore diapers.

Ethan turns 9!

2009-03-09T14:11:00.000-07:00

I know I haven't posted since our last birthday.....but I didn't want Ethan to feel left out. So here is a post for his aunts.

Mace turns 5!

2008-09-17T13:19:00.000-07:00

I really can't believe it. He's been waiting to turn five for over 2 years!! Last week, all week, he would say things like this, "Let's measure me, I think I'm 5 now." "Did you see me catch that football, I'm definetly 5." "Look how much taller I am than this counter, I'm 5". So this morning we woke him up, in a rush as usuall, we had to hurry off to piano, and sang him Happy Birthday! He requested wheat waffles from scratch. I ground the wheat this morning. I think he took 2 bites and said he was full. urgh!!! He's never been a big eater. I love when people post pics of baby and now, so I'm going to copy.

Pics from Gaffigan....dinner before

Jim Gaffigan

2008-09-17T13:09:00.000-07:00

HILARIOUS! I wanted him to stop for a minute so I could breath. I cried all my makeup off. My fav part was the bowling and camping jokes. When it comes out on DVD everyone should get it. If you don't have the old one.....so funny. If you haven't had a good belly laugh in a while....check it out.

We went with our friends to see Maroon 5. They were awesome. I loved the whole thing! We got a photo autographed by all and sweet t's.

Adults Only!?

2008-09-11T20:58:00.000-07:00

This was at my closest friend since forever ago's house. It was basically an adult party....did I mention I brought 5 kids. (mine plus my bro's baby) Awesome. This is the entertainment my children provided for everyone. Thankfully, I know Jenn still loves me:)

Books....good and bad

2008-09-11T13:22:00.000-07:00

Ok. I know not everyone is a dog lover....but this is really a great book. It's hysterical and it's alot about lifes lessons. I really enjoyed and it and am excited for the movie to come out. Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston are in it.

The Host: My pic. didn't download. I'll add it later. I hated this book. I couldn't appreciate it at all. I thought it was a waste of time.

The Last Lecture: This book was amazing and a great guide to keep with you for life. It really helps you appreciate the life you have and makes you feel like every moment with the ones you love is such a blessing. I think everyone should own this book.

First Day of School!!!!

Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial

Arlington Cementary

Our trip to Washington was awesome! I loved it and felt very educated. Since I think I'm the last one I know to go there I won't repeat all the details to you. I do want to say I'm so thankful that I live in America. I'm so grateful for our freedom. I'm forever in debt for the many, many Americans who serve and fight for our freedom.

Favorite Restaurants!

2008-06-12T12:40:00.000-07:00

I'm addicted to our favorite restaurants! We love them, but we're open to new ones. Anyone else have any great restraunts you want to share???

Quotes of the week!

2008-06-06T08:13:00.000-07:00

"Ethan, Where do people keep alot of money?" "The money hotel!"

Mason sees me mopping the floor. He turns and runs and says"Run from your lives!"

I love the things kids say. I never write them down so I figured this was a great way to document it.

cupcakes

2008-05-26T18:45:00.003-07:00

I made these cupcakes for Brooklyn's activity days. I think it was birthday week.

Party Pics!

2008-05-26T18:39:00.000-07:00

STill don't know how to rotate the pics.

We had a great time. I thought all the crafts looked great. I love the individual personal touches.

Brooklyn's bday craft

2008-05-23T09:29:00.001-07:00

Thanks to my favorite crafty lady. Brooklyn is making this with all her friends for her bday! It's so cute. I'll post a pic of the one she makes after the party. Hers will be different colors.

Summer Time

2008-05-23T09:26:00.001-07:00

The kids are out for summer. I love summer. I love just hanging out, swimming and eating watermellon. I hope we get to visit friends and get visits from friends. It's the best time to catch up with everyone.

Scared to death!

2008-05-23T09:12:00.001-07:00

Here's one for all the mom's out there and for my journal. Yesterday, my mother in law brought over dinner for my bday. We set the table and Damon left to pick up Brooklyn just around the corner and left the garage door open. Margaret said "Where's Owen?" I said I don't know. We looked and immediatly found him looking at the computer. We both went back into the kitchen and continued with dinner plans. When Damon was back and everything was ready we yelled for the kids. Everyone came except Owen. We called and looked. Slowly we started getting panicked. Where could he be? We checked the pool and after 10 minutes. I called 911. Franticly searching, screaming and crying and saying I don't understand he has to be here. Oh I forgot it was pooring rain and thundering and lighting outside. I just knew he wouldn't walk out in that but the garage door was open so we weren't sure. We had all the neighbors looking and I checked the pool at least 5 times with the 911 lady on line with me the whole time. I've never felt more scared and so hopeless. After about 15 minutes which seemed like forever, Mason said I hear him. He coughed. I rolled my eyes and then Ethan said I heard it to mom. He then popped up from under Brooklyn's round chair which has fabric on top of it and I wouldv'e never thought to look under it. I must have went into her room 5 times and yelled Owen. We all ran in there, I'm still on with 911 and Brooklyn says He was pooping mom. I couldn't believe it. Shaky and crying I grabbed him and couldn't have been more thankful for that little poop. The 911 lady just kindof laughed and said are you sure he's ok. I said yes. The police showed up right after I changed the imfamous poop. Now it's funny but it wasn't at the time. Another story down in the books and a birthday I'll never forget. Oh the stories mom's get to tell! I swear my kids are going to give me a heart attack someday but I love them to pieces.

2008-05-15T21:12:00.000-07:00

Ok can you rotate pics. I need to figure this one out but I guess I'll leave it for now.

Ethan just finished his golf lessons. Doesn't he look like a pro? I think so. Damon took the boys to the fathers and sons camp out while I was in Utah. The boys love to scooter to the bus stop to get the kids. How cool is their dad!?

Kids Activities

2008-05-15T21:00:00.000-07:00

This is Brooklyn performing with her ballroom dancing class at school. She had a great time and looked so grown up dancing with a boy.

Here's Brooklyn and her friend Devon performing for Evening of the Arts. The same as the ballroom dancing night. Owen is attempting to dribble. It's hard to be the youngest and not know how to do everything that the older boys do. He does a great job trying. Mason played in his first basketball league. I don't think he liked it very much. He loved the idea of it but said his legs were too tired every game. I don't know what his deal was.

I decided if I don't scrapbook or keep a photo album that this would be a great scrapbook for me. I read on my friends blog that you can print it out at the end of the year. So hear it goes for journaling....I hope I don't bore anyone as this will mostly be for me and my out of state family but would love to share it with friends as well. I've seen some pretty amazing blogs though and feel pretty insecure with my boring little blog. Hey, maybe I'll get better.

Grateful for.....

2008-05-14T07:40:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I was thinking of all the things that I was really thankful for. Sometimes I get nostalgic, I don't know why. I love piggyback rides. It's so fun and such an easy way to please the boys. They get so happy and all I have to do is carry them on my back and run around. I saw two sets of elderly moms and daughters together holding hands and two different stores. I'm thankful I have a daughter and I love being a daughter. I hope Brooklyn will take care of me and love me like that when I'm old. I will certainly be honored to take care of my mother when she is old. I'm thankful for sons and brothers. Yesterday, the boys went outside to play and wanted me to come push them on the swingset. I told them as soon I cleaned up dinnner I would be outside. When I was wiping the counter I turned to see Mason pushing Owen on the swing and they were both laughing having a great time. It's so cute to see your 4 year old taking care of your 2 year old. I'm thankful they have each other.

Baby Jake!

2008-04-25T16:46:00.000-07:00

This is on the Napli coast all the way around the island. You can't drive any farther, you have to hike. It was beautiful!
Every night at 6:27 you could watch the sunset. We took so many pics to see if we could get a postcard pic. I think this one wins. I could retire here for sure.

This kids waiting to get on the boat.

This is Brooklyn and I going out to check out the waves. We got out too far before we new it. Brooklyn road a wave in and I, sadly, had a surfer take me back in. It was very embarrassing. Brooklyn said it was the best ride of her life.

Kauai

2008-02-19T11:48:00.000-08:00

We took the kids to Kauai! We had so much fun. We saw seals, sea turtles, an eel, a snake, lots and lots of fish and quite a few humpback whales. It happened to be whale season. We took a boat on a whale exursion and saw some and we could also see them blowing water from our beach. I actually saw a whale from the pool at our resort. It was awesome. We took the older kids snorkeling. It was like swimming in a fish aquarium. We toured the entire island. We didn't want to miss anything. I hope the kids always remember the fun trips we go on.

Roxy

2008-02-19T11:43:00.000-08:00

Our newest addition to our family...Roxy! She's a labradoodle (part lab part poodle) She's super sweet and we love her.

Valentine craft

2008-01-11T12:50:00.000-08:00

Of course when Tiffany comes we have to craft. This is a craft we saw in a background of a different blog, only their's was halloween. It's so cute. I don't think lying it on the table to take a pic does it justice. It really is so cute. When I put it up with other decor, I'll add a new pic. But here it is for now.

2008-01-11T12:45:00.000-08:00

Branden and Tiffany came to visit. We had so much fun. The kids love Savannah so much. She gets so many hugs and kisses or should I say brasos and besos. (of course I have no idea how to spell that in spanish) They are teaching her spanish though and it is so cute.

She does understand. Her little tongue is always hanging out. We love her!

Sledding

2008-01-11T12:37:00.000-08:00

After Christmas we went up to my brother's cabin. (Thanks so much for letting us stay there. ) We created some great memories. Here's a few pics from sledding. My kids are a little too fearless. Brooklyn and Ethan were sledding from the near top of the mountain where noone else was. Mace was pretty crazy too. He just kept going all day. Owen decided snow was overrated and hung out in the back of the truck. We went sledding with my parents and the Plowmans and Scholes. Everyone had so much fun.

2008-01-11T12:31:00.001-08:00

I love looking at other people's blog and felt bad in case anyone checks mine and I don't have anything new to look at. So here's some new info.

We had a great Christmas. It was awesome. We had all my family over for breakfast and my best friends parents from Oklahoma. We also had Damon's mom and bro. It was so fun to have everyone over. We enjoyed making memories with our kids with all our family and friends. We love this tradition. We cooked a great big breakfast. It was so yummy. I think we could've fed quite a few more families though....so next year, everyone's welcome.

Thanksgiving

2007-12-07T19:40:00.001-08:00

2007-10-30T14:00:00.000-07:00

Mason is playing his first sport. He loves it and now thinks that 4 people (a four year old) is officially big.

Brooklyn is a great soccer player. We love these action photos!

We had a great time in California. We took Grandma along for the ride. She was a great help and fun to be with! The kids loved having her there. We went to the beach a couple of times, California adventure Park and hung out at our hotel. We stayed at the Newport cost villas which I highly recommend. They had plenty of pools, hot tubs, golf, playground, tetherball, a sandbox equipped with all the sand toys, an arcade room, a playstation room and they had movies and parties for the kids. They also had lifesize chess and checkers and ping pong by the pool. Our kids loved it and it was quite relaxing for the adults.

natural disaster

2007-09-12T21:47:00.000-07:00

Our RS had mock natural disasters. I was chosen to not go to the grocery store for 3 days. Seriously, I'm glad to report it was no problem. We have alot of food. I enjoy buying food so it was nice to take time out from going to the store and actually eating our food that we do have. I was supposed to take inventory and realize stuff we can improve on. I did. We need batteries in our emergence flashlights in the kitchen cupboard..they were dead. I need more dry milk. We go through 10 gallons a week. I kid you not. I need more meat in the freezer....at least enough for a month. I'm sure there's alot more but that's all for now. It was a good experiment. We were asked to stage a photo..so here's one.

We started out on our short hike with 7 kids....sound crazy well it turned out to be alot longer than we thought. We heard alot of crying, stories and laughter. We carried half the kids the whole way. It was fun though. The Masons kept us entertained the whole time we were in Utah. We had so much fun!

Brothers

2007-07-30T21:42:00.000-07:00

I love to watch the relationship that Ethan has with Owen. Big brothers are great! Owen and Mason want to do everything Ethan does. Ethan said it would be cool to have a big brother. I told him it is cooler to be the big brother. He looked at me and nodded. He understood.

Crackers!

After 3 years at the cabin, we discovered this great creek. The kids spent hours being kids. They caught snakes, chased cows, and played in the water. It reminded me of when I was kid. It's so fun to watch them create their own childhood memories.

Nieces and Nephews
