Kids Love to Show Off

Since I put on Luke singing "I Love to see the Temple". The other kids want to be on too. Below is Mary singing "You Are My Sunshine" and Abigail doing "Pat-a-Cake".



Its been a long time

Wow its almost been a year since I did anything with the blog. I am constantly updating our site and it is hard to find time to update blogs. Kids are growing and loving life. Here is a quick run down of everyone in a year.

Owen - has been teaching 5th grade this year. It is a lot of work. He is trying get some History classes done so next year he will possibly be able to go back to teaching History. He loves history. He is teaching in Elders Quorum and loves reading. He wishes he had more time to do reading. Dogs are doing great. We have three additions to our Kennel this year. A big white male named Alii, puppy from Washington named Star, and a full adult named Alita. The dogs take a lot of time. But they are fun and are a big part of our kids life.

Jenell - I have been home with kids, which is a blessing. There are not a lot of teachers out in the world where the spouse doesn't have to work. I love staying home and love being with my kids. we are ready for spring we are starting to get a little cabin fever. I can't wait to work in the yard. I was put as the Stake YW President last July. I have loved it. I work a lot with the Youth Council which is my favorite part of the calling. It is fun to see other people other than your own ward. I have learned a ton and am still learning a ton. I enjoy playing women's volleyball and running. I am training for a 1/2 marathon.

Jed - is in 1st grade. He is learning to read. He reads very well and loves to read his scriptures. He loves to wrestle with his dad on our wrestling mat. He is an outside boy. he is outside any chance he gets. He is so good with his little sister Abigail. She adores Jed. It is always fun to see him come home and Abigail runs to give him kisses.

Mary - is in Kindergarten. She is as smart as a whip. She loves crafty anything. Loves to color and loves to collect anything. She trys to sneak stuff into her room. She knows I will make her throw stuff away if I see it. The other day I took her to the dentist. She was so excited to go but once they gave her the shot she was not very excited. I went and got her a shake after and she tried to save the shake cup in her closet. This last year we painted her room. It turned out so cute. Stoyan helped. He painted the castle window for us. It turned our awesome.


Luke - Luke is grandpas little helper. He loves to go out and feed cows and gather eggs. He goes down stairs every morning. He is such a joy. He goes to speech on Fridays. He loves going to school and loves his teacher. He all ways has to take a treat to his teacher. He has been singing I love to see the temple. He does it really loud. It gets into grandpas head.

Abigail - Is so much fun. she is always on the go and wants to give kisses to everyone. She loves her grandma's. She loves to draw. She draws on everything. scriptures, books, floors, especially walls. She is going to be an artistic little thing. She seems to get sick a lot more than my other kids did. It makes long nights.

I will try to post more often.

Trip to Arizona


I forgot to take my camera on our trip down to Arizona. We went for a week end and visited Jake, Deana and their family and Bill, Mindy and their family. We had a great time. We love to see family and cousins. We took Bell our old mama dog down. We got her spade at Jake's clinic then we took her to Bills family. We gave her to Bill and the family. Bell is in dog heaven there. Bill has a pool and Bell absolutely loves it. She is walking everyday with the family and is being loved like crazy. Here are some pictures that Bill sent.



Daniel my brother is on his mission to Brazil. Here is a family that he taught the gospel to.These are pictures of them at their baptism. They look so happy. I am so glad the gospel of Jesus Christ can bring such light and happiness into families. I am so proud of Daniel. He such a good example to my kids. Last Sunday Luke gave the prayer in Primary. He is now three and is starting to say his prayers on his own. He got up there and I didn't help him at all. He blessed uncle Daniel on his mission about three times. He then blessed his cousin Colton on his mission about three times. It was really cute.

More Easter Pictures



Mary and I had fun coloring eggs. Abigail loved her first easter egg hunt. she was crawling through the the grass and eating candy as fast as she could go.
