DRAPER TEMPLE

 

 

We took the opportunity to go to the Draper temple open house when we went up to Jack's baby blessing. It was a great experience. The kids thought it was so beautiful. It is a wonderful thing to be able take the kids inside and teach them with more meaning what they have to look foward to after they are 12 when they can do baptisms for the dead and when they are married and sealed in the temple. We went to the temple shortly after and Tyson kept asking me if we went to the temple on the bus, because we rode the bus to the Draper temple after meeting at a Chapel for a short intro. Thanks for coming with us everyone. It was a great time.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS-SHOCKING

This was a fun memory of when I was a child. We each had a turn bringing it to school at least once if not more. My dad made it out of an old phone box. We also had a lot of fun with it at home with friends, doing pranks, etc. There is always a little entertaiment when all the boy in our family get together. They found this and had a little too much fun. Check these videos out. Tyson even tried it but the funniest is when you really crank it and the electrical current really gives someone a jolt.

Happy 60th Birthday DAD!!

We were lucky enough to be there for Dad's 60th birthday!! We celebrated a day early because we were going to be in Logan at Jack's blessings. We had a great time eating and singing happy birthday to Dad. We really appreciate you Dad and all that you have done for us. You are a wonderful dad and grandpa. I hope you know how wonderful we feel you are and that we love you very much. We are so thankful to have such a wonderful dad and grandpa to be ours. Thank you and Happy Birthday!!

New Cousins and visiting the Snow Relatives

We had a wonderful time visiting everyone up north. The kids were especially happy to see their new cousins. Jack was blessed on Sunday in Logan. We had a wonderful time and a wonderful dinner. Jack is so cute and the girls couldn't keep their hands off him. Thanks Casey and Lindsay we love you all and were excited to come to your home.

A BEAR!!

 

Drake has achieved his Bear, 1 gold and 2 silver arrow points. Awesome job Drake. You have worked so hard and are a awesome scouter!! We are proud of you.

Wheely Flats

 

We decided to go to for a ride in the Rhino to wheely flats and took Drake's new shot gun too. The kids ran all over the hills and then each took a turn shooting Drake's gun. We had a great time and enjoyed just hanging out together. Drake loves her new gun and is a good little shooter.

Puppies, Puppies, Puppies

 

 

Grandpa and Grandma's dog had puppies about Christmas time and they get lots of attention from the kids. Sierra usually wants to go over everyday and take a friend to show them. She always wants to keep one but we aren't going to take on another dog. As of now it seems that Sierra's puppy dog eyes have worked on Grandma. They have kept one around. Rascal, R.J., it was the cutest one I think though. Sierra is a animal lover too. What a sweet heart. She had to get pictures before all the puppies were gone. So cute.

The Big #10

Drake is 10 years old now!! I can't believe it. He had a wonderful birthday celebrating for 3 days!! Sunday at home, Monday with friends, Tuesday at school. After 6 cake mixes I was done. I couldn't believe that it took that much. He was very excited to get a 20 gauge shotgun for his birthday, laser tag, reaction ball, and knife, sports cards, dart gun, and lots of money to spend. Drake is a wonderful son. Here are a few words that describe him.
RESPONSIBLE
ATHLETIC
SMART
TEASE

Drake we love you so much and feel very blessed to have you in our family. Thank you for being a wonderful son and brother. WE LOVE YOU!

School Valentine Parties!!

The kids had a lot of fun at their parties. Steve and Tyson went around taking pictures while I stayed and helped in Makenzie's class. They all got a lot of candy and valentines. We later went around to a few neighbors and did our tradition of Valentines. Knocking and running leaving our valentines for them. The kids have a lot of fun. We had wonderful intentions and had all the valentines made for all the cousins, grandpas & grandmas and got none of them mailed :(. The story of my life. OH well!! I hope you all know how much we love and appreciate you!!
