what we have been up to in 2010!

Sorry I am far behind on the blog. we really haven't been to busy this year . Sidnee turned seven and we had a family party at craigo's pizza. She is so beautiful and a big help with her younger sibling.
We took the kids sledding and alex had a great time and has a love for speed so we will be in trouble when he learns to drive.
Ashlyn just had a science fair and she showed the school how to make slime and all about chemical reactions. She is so smart and doing well in school. We are so proud of her.
Reagan is so busy and always climbing on something or into something. She wears me out most days. She is tring to talk and is so cute. She had been sick alot this year and we might have to put tubes in her ears. I think she has allergies so we are tring some stuff before we so surgery. Before I know it my baby will be two. that is sad.
Gary and I have been gym rats this year. We are training for a half marathon in Salt Lake in April. I am excited for the challenge. I ran 12 on Saturday and it went well, but a little sore the next day.I am excited that Gary and I are doing it together. It will feel good to actually make a goal and complete it, maybe if I don't pass out or stop and the mall.

These kids are so cute I must say. What a blessing even though they try my patience.

Christmas 2009!

Santa was to nice this year. These kids were sure spoiled. We had a great Christmas and the kids were so excited. Alex has alot of trucks now and thinks he needs more of course and is already asking when is his birthday. Ashlyn was up before five like she is every morning ready to see if her and Sidnee were good this year.Poor sick Reagan was still sleeping and opened her presents after the other. She is a sweet baby with alot of personality.

Christmas Eve we headed to grandmas and when I got Reagan out of the car she stared throwing up and continued for awhile and it spread through the whole family, grandma and grandpa, aunts, and uncles. Sorry to everyone. It just would not be the holidays without someone getting sick. We are doing better and ready for the kids to go back to school tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for goodie plates and gifts. We hope everyone had a great holiday.

It's begining to look like Christmas!

I think we are ready for the big day. The concerts are over, shopping is done, kids have been out of school since the 12Th, and baking is done. We did have snow then it all melted,but today it is snowing so it is feeling like Christmas is almost hear. The kids are so excited and Alex can hardly wait. I told him if he want Santa to bring new toys he has to clean his room or Santa will trip on his toys. Works like a charm. Now I need to think of how I can get him to clean it after Christmas. Sidnee is in a singing group and they had a big concert with over 300 kids in it. It was put together well.

The kids put in their requests to Santa except Reagan she was not a fan and would not sit on his lap. She has really hammered our tree this year with help from the cat. Oh well it will give me a good reason to get new stuff next year. We are excited for Christmas and wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's.

Tis the season for more hunting.

Gary has been busy shooting everything from ducks to deer. He just came home from Salmon with a deer that was frozen solid. We thought it was pretty gross but the kids love it when their dad comes home with animals to see. Alex is all over the hunting stuff and guns. We had to buy a gun safe because Alex was climbing to the top of our closet to touch the gun. I am glad Gary will have a buddy to do the guy things with then I won't have to go. I rather be on the beach.

Happy late Halloween

The Kids had fun this Halloween. The only way Alex was getting in a costume was to get the candy other then that he did not want to wear it. Ashlyn made out with more then half a pillow case of candy and is still snacking on it.

Ashlyn wanted to be the devil and so Sidnee decided to be an angle, but for their personalities it should of been the other way around. They are both good girl for the most part. Alex is so boy he was more into stabling the pumpkin with a knife and playing with sharp objects. It was a good time and not to cold and no snow this year.

Who cares?

I don't really care to post any more for a couple of reasons. I think that Friends and family just don't really care how your family is doing. They can't seem to call once a year or even answer the phone when you call, so doesn't that tell you they really don't care. I know this is not how we should treat people or our family, but we do. Sad.. I have a bad attitude I know, but I am going to act like everyone else and say I give up and really don't care any more. So I think if people really care they can pick up the dam phone. That is all I have to say.

Celebrating a marraige and Our ten years together

We tried to talk Andrea out of getting married, but she didn't listen.Just like all of us when we are in love.It was a beautiful day in mesa, Arizona for a wedding and it was hot for us, but we enjoyed it. Congrats guys and best wishes. We were glad we were there.This is the first time Gary has seen his brothers in two years, so it was good for them to catch up.

David came the next day for the reception, but I don't have that pic. George, I know you would love to send it to me. We stayed in Arizona for three days then went to celebrate our TEN year anniversary in Vegas.It was good to have it be just the two of us. It has been the first time for more than a day in ten years away from the kids. It was WONDERFUL!
