Helpers Of All Sorts

Okay maybe a little background info... My little boys both have pinkeye and so in turn I also (I think) get to have pink eye so happiness is blossoming amongst the virus' in our house... it is a bet for how long till' the next one gets it..at least we share.

This is how Dyn thinks he is helping feed the cows on this snowy March SPRING morning (and I use the term SPRING lightly)

I do have to admit even though it is cold and wet... and well you can imagine what the pens look like.. it is very beautiful thismorning.

Good thing that Grandpa scraped the pens recently... JayCee loves to come help feed. And he did not lose a boot today!!!Cold and wet and HAPPY as can be...

This is the all sorts of helping (title) I ask JC to pick up the things on the kitchen floor so that I could sweep... well, he picked them up...

Enjoy the weather and your day where ever you are :)

Girls and Boys...

We LOVE you Kyley!

Kyley announced to me Mom you have hardly ever put me on the blog...

So I am sorry Kyley this is just a house full full full of BOYS and so in turn they get more exposure... but hopefully that when this little one comes we can post a cutesy girl background and have a bunch of girly photos...

Happy Birthday Ansen...


WE HAVE HAD QUITE A WEEK... AN AMAZING OUTFLOW OF LOVE AND SUPPORT

HIS BAPTISM WAS GREAT...

How fast it goes...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANSEN!!!

Ansen... 8 Years old!! Waiting for someone to bonk him on the head with a present...

Well this is the only photo that I took yesterday... waiting for the bus to go to the Temple... it was an overcast day but 59 outside so it was a nice day... They load you from the parking church and then you get off the bus and enter a tunnel that takes you to the temple, so not a whole lot of photo time... and when it was over the kids were ready to go somewhere else... 2+ hours in the car/bus they were done!! I hope that we all benefitted from sluffing school! Good, Better, and Best... was my motivation. The Temple was beautiful and the kids did really good and they (I hope) felt the spirit that was in that Holy Building...

Keradyn kept saying is this where Jesus will live? what about the temple by us does he live there now,,, he wanted to know why everything was what it was...

Oh the thinks we can think if we only but try!!

Ansen has been such a joy in our lives... challenging, but worth every stress!!

Always interested and always looking for something new!

If you can not see it... Ansen has a butterfly... I think this was one of the first things he did after getting glasses and being able to see (finally) catch little things... any little things!!

ATTITUDE among other things

Well attitude is something that we have been working on in our house lately... and finally it paid off.. we told ansen that he had to be good for 1 week and we would go bowling.. so Thursday we went bowling and had a blast.. needless to say I did Not bowl.. I would not have been able to breath bowl and move all at the same time so I enjoyed the view...
Dyn was so proud of his winning score after the first game.. he had it all figured out. and really tried hard to get it to knock down all the pins and would get really mad and jump up and down and scream "dumb ball" when it would not get him a strike or a spare... but they did have fun.
Hopefully I will remember to take the camera with us tomorrow on our little road trip... Ansen is turning 8 tomorrow and I thought it would be fun to go the Draper Temple Open House and let him spend his special birthday at the temple. I hope it is a "good" memorable experience for all of us but expecially him.. He also got to have his interview with the Bishop today for his baptism... and they talked about the importance of what he is planning to do and the tie it has with the special things they do at the temple..
Another Birthday for one of my children just makes me realize... I Am Getting SOOO OLD! during sacrament meeting today I was thinking that when this little one that I am carring, in my ribs, gets to go to Kindergarten... Tyler will be 18 yes 18 (Hello Mission age) WOW!!!! How in the world can that happen??? He also informed me that he has grown over an inch in 1 month... INSANITY... just book me a padded room at the closest loony lodge... I think that I am going to need a time share there! anyone interested in buying in with me? but any way I am blessed to be able to be a part in their lives and watch them grow and be such good kids... they all have such special and strong spirits... what a challenging blessing for clint and I but I love every moment and would not ever change one minute!!

Only my "A Bull"!!!!!

Getting dressed is a massive chore if I have not done laundry in the last TWO days...

JayCee every time he gets dressed it is a major event in the dresser... I NEED MY "A- BULL" SHIRT!!!

any of you who know JayCee, you know that he loves his aggie bull and loves to wear his aggie blue...
and he will search his drawers and the laundry baskets and any where else he can, to find his aggie shirt... Today ALL three are dirty so we will not have a sparkling attitude today.
He loves his aggies.

During the games we sit on the side that when they say UTAH STATE we sit on the UTAH side so he is always yelling UTAH and waiting for someone to say STATE then he'll say fight fight fight.


GO AGGIES!!!
