Sweet Heart Dance

I can heardly believe that I that a child old enough to go to jr. high dances!!!

This is Kadian and the guys.

back row: Colt, Lane, Joseph, Manny

middle row: James, Mitchell, John

front row: Kadian and Marshall

back row: Micah, Simone, Amy, Cheyenne

front row: Marshall, Kadian, Joseph, Mitchell

The cute blond in the back is Kadian's crush. Her name is Simone. She is a very cute girl, but she just wants to stay friends. Which is just fine with this mom!! I'm not ready for this kind of thing!! 

He was very cute! He called me that night (they all went to a buddy's house after the dance to have a paint ball war.), "Mom, it was awesome!! I danced with 19 girls!! I could hear the huge smile in his voice! 

I sure wish he would quit growing up!!!!  

Kadian's Idaho Trip

Over the summer some of the kids in the ward went on a week long hike in Idaho. They set up camp and Reflection Lake. They hiked into Buck & Doe, Twin Coves,Sky High and Parachute

He had to carry a very heavy pack, around 50 pounds for eight miles in and then eight miles out. He was a little sore by the time he got home.

They hiked into a different lake every day. Isn't the view amazing!!

They liked to tease Kadian, They said he was a really good sport!!

Kadian getting tied up.
I was so nervous about him going because he is the youngest of the group, but they took very good care of him and he had a very good experience!!

Brothers and Sister..

Jeff, Jodie and Jeramie.

It is fun when the family gets together!!  Brother and Sister time. They only get to see each other a couple of times a year so they took advantage while camping during the summer.

Fishing Buddy

Grandma and Grandpa came out this summer and Gage took Grandpa fishing.. He can cast and reel all by himself!! Love ya Grandpa!!

My dare devils in training

Grandpa Jim got an awesome motorcycle this summer!! He was so cute giving the kids a ride up and down the road. The boys thought they were pretty cool too. Jim even let Jeramie take me for a ride. I do believe I will let him get a motorcycle after all because that is a blast!!

Thanks Grandpa for the totally awesomely cool day

Lagoon Trip

We took the kids to Lagoon the day after the zoo. I think that our favorite ride is the rocket and the sling shot ride. I got to watch Kadian and Doug go on the sling shot ride together...their faces were priceless.
We all got totally drenched on the cliffhanger too!!
All around awesome day!!!

Doug, Jaxson and Gage

Gage thought he was so big!! He got to go on a ride with the big kids! He smiled the whole time. You wouldn't guess that by looking at this picture they all look a little grouchy. But they had a good time!!

Cooling off in the water fountain they were all drenched just in time to go home..

A day at the zoo

During the summer the guys got a little time off so we made our way to Salt Lake to visit the Zoo. It was so fun to spend time with friends & family!! We had a great time.. Jeramie made sure we didn't miss the bird show by asking every five minutes if it was time yet.. Needless to say Jeramie really loves the bird show. 

The little ones had a good time chasing the little birds that would land to eat the spilled popcorn.

Catching some time in the shade.

Basketball Game

Yesterday was Dougie's last basketball game for the season!! It was a very exciting and close game with the score ending at 18-20. We lost but it was a battle until the end. Doug handles the ball really well and got to play point guard for most of the game. He also got quite a few rebounds.

He also scored a basket! Good job honey!

Go Wildcats!!

Working Out

Insanity has started at our house.. Beachbody has this workout program that Jeramie and I are doing. The boys were trying it out because they made fun of our struggling through. They however found out that mom and dad are not really wimps!! Doug lasted the longest, Not suprising because he loves challenges. Kadian only lasted for about 10 minutes before finally throwing in the towel. And Gage loved running and tripping his brothers. I think he had the most fun. And thank you

Christmas 2009

Family Pictures at Grandma and Grandpa's
Missing Kadian and Doug!! Wish you were here.

Rexy and Gage

Gage is quite the handy man!!

Christmas was a lot of fun this year.. Well as fun as it can be when 2 of your kids are not there. They spent Christmas with Ian :(

Anyways.. Gage was really fun to watch this year. He was so excited about each present he opened. He got a dinosaur that stomps and growls and he named him rexy. He also got a tool set and has built a few things with it.

Maybe he will have the fix it gene that Jeramie has?

We got a puppy...

Well Jeramie finally got his dog. He is very cute and very good with my kids. Which is a good thing.. but at 11:00 p.m. almost every night he starts barking at what else but his shadow.. The street light shines into my yard and whenever he sees his shadow he lets out howls and barks that I'm sure one day will bring the cops to my door for the noise he is causing.

His name is Gus-Gus.. And yes Jeramie chose the name.. And Gage is very fond of him as you can see.
