Family

Tyler (my younger brother) just left this week for Iraq. We had some going away parties for him, before he went to boot camp and before he left for Iraq. So here are some pics from those. We will miss him so much, but we are very grateful for the sacrifice he and many others are making. I just wish it wasn't my brother, but this is what he wanted to do! Love you lots Tyler.

Kylan and Miranda first day school pics

My computer finally decided to show these pictures, so here they are! These 2 are so cute!!

Preschool

Monday was Tannon's first day of Preschool. He was so excited! It's been a long summer with him because he knew he was going to Preschool, so he asked about twice a day if it was time yet. Then Kylan and Miranda started school, and that made it harder for him. (and me). But the day finally came and he had lots of fun! I pray hard for his teacher so she can have patience with him, because he is a busy little boy!!

First Day of School

Well, normally I would post pictures, but for some reason, the pictures aren't showing up for blogger. I was able to get them on Facebook, so hop on over to there! Dumb pictures! But anyway, it's finally here! School! Relief! The kids were excited, I was elated. It worked out well. Kylan is a 3rd grader and Miranda is 2nd. Tannon will be starting on Monday at preschool. He can hardly contain himself! They are growing up so fast!

I am still here!!

Well, it's a while, but I am still here, just not here on blogger!! No reason why I haven't blogged, just haven't! Nothing too exciting maybe? I don't know. But here is a little recap of our lives. School ended, summer break hit (hard), we have been trying to stay as busy as possible with swimming at my in-laws and other misc. activities so I don't slowly sink into crazy town! Logan and I hit our 11th anniversary. Holy cow thats a lot!! I can't believe it's been that long. Tannon is now enrolled in Preschool, (heaven help us all) and he can hardly contain himself! School starts back up on the 28th (hallelujah!!!). See, nothing really exciting, just normal. Hope everyone else out there is having fun! I will try harder to keep up with blogger! (maybe)

The HCG Diet

HCG Lose a Pound a Day!!!!!

For those of you who are trying to lose weight for summer, or for any reason at all, you need to look at my sister in law McKenna's blog HCG Absolute Advantage . I recommend this diet because I have done this, and many other family members have done this diet and been very successful! I promise you it really does work! If you have any questions or would like to buy a bottle, please email me! These bottles do not need to be refrigerated, so they can be shipped anywhere!!

Tannon's 4th Birthday

It was April 10th, and I am just posting about it. Seriously! Tannon has been waiting for his birthday to come along forever. It's been only a year, but it seems like centuries to this boy! It was making him very angry that everyone else was having birthdays but him. Finally his day came!! We took him to Red Robin on his birthday and the look on his face when he finally got his sundae was priceless. He was so happy! Then we had a birthday party a few days later when Logan got back into town. He chose "how to train your dragon" themed birthday. Very random.... He had been talking about spongebob and power rangers, but he chose that. As long as he was happy! I made the cake and bought the kit from walmart. I don't really like their cakes and I can make a better cake, although I am not a great cake decorator... oh well!! All in all it was a great birthday for him and he is already planning the next one! I love this crazy little boy!!


Go go power rangers!!
He has been asking for a Pillow Pet for about a month, and I gave in and bought it. He wanted the lady bug one.. Ok. This present made his entire day! He sleeps with this, and just loves it!!

Piaci Boutique

My friend Brynn opened her own boutique and is having a giveaway! This is her first giveaway! I love giveaways, but this one is great because it's a necklace and a purse! I love purses!! Go enter her giveaway, and if you feel like it, buy something!!!

Scouts Blue and Gold Dinner

Kylan had his first blue and gold dinner on Tuesday. The sons and dad's are supposed to bake a cake for this, and the theme was 100 years of scouting. Well, the cakes are judged, so I called Rhonda over to help with this!! Boy did she!! This is what Rhonda does best! She had a picture of a camping cake so we decided to do a cake about camping, and incorporate scouts into it. She did most of this. Pretty much wouldn't let me touch it! haha! Kylan and Logan frosted the cake (that I baked) and arranged the items. It turned out great! We won best over all cake!! YAY!

Rain storm of the century

Ok, so it's been a while. I had these pics on my camera. So I thought I would show you what the storm that came through here a few weeks ago, did to my back yard!

This is NOT where our trampoline belongs. It belongs in the middle of our yard STAKED down like it was. Well apparently there was a tornado or something that only hit my backyard and threw my tramp onto my fence.

This is where our garden is going to be...... not so good if it rains like this again!! Not sure the plants are gonna love this!
Poor Max! he hates water, but you gotta do what you gotta do!!!
