Halloween TIme

Here are most the grand kids posing for a Halloween pic at Steph's Halloween party Halloween night. Carson is Darth Vader and Trace is A little Devil how fitting. Could not get Carson to trick or treat this year he just wanted to open the door for trick or treaters. That's OK we don't need the candy on my butt or on the kids teeth.

My baby's growin up ;(

All my presents!

Yummy cake!

My Baby Turns One!

Trace Turned One today! I felt like it was Carson's birthday though because he was buggin me all day to open the presents Pleeeeaase! I just want to play with one mom. I had to keep telling him it's not your birthday it's Trace's. Then later Trace went to bed Carson played with his toys as much as he could. So it's been a fun day we didn't have a big party or anything cause he's only one and I am sure he will have many many party's when he gets older so we'll skip that while we can :) I have been so blessed to have older brothers that have had children before me so I get all the hand-me-downs, so there was nothing Trace really needed so I had to get him something so he got some new toys! We are truly blessed to have him in our family he has taught all of us much patients :} Happy Birthday Trace We love ya! Hope you liked the blowing out of the candle and eating the cake video it took forever to upload!

Bear With....

WARNING!!! Cheesy material below!

I have been looking all over the house for my journal and it's nowhere to be found. I just keep feeling like I need to write down some things that I have been thinking about latley. I'm not sure why but I have just been extremely HAPPY lately! I will need this post to refer to when I am feelling down. So here it goes. I watch Dr. Phil, Oprah, News, and Glenn Beck, and on these programs you see a lot of families fighting, couples divorcing, and bad cruel things happening in this world and country. It's not just tv either I hear to often of families fueding or mom and dad divorcing in our little town of Preston. I am so happy to know that I love my brothers, sisters, and parents and that they love me. I would do anything for them and I know they would do anything for me. Which wouldn't have happened if we did not have parents that brought us up right! I am greatly in debt to my mom and dad for all that they have sacrificed for me. I feel this debt grow deeper as my children grow older and I realize the HARD work involved with raising a family. I once heard that you pick your parents before you are born? I made the right choice. For had my parents been super "religious" I would not be with my husband today. We started "dating" in the 8th grade and have never been separated since. Austin is another contributing factor to my happenis. (ha ha inside joke) I was raised by my mother and so I always wanted the same for my children. Now it's a reality, I am living what I always wanted too! Like I said I'm just happy lately and I just needed to give credit where credit was due, and that is to my husband, parents, family, and extended family, I just love them all so much and am so lucky to have so many fantastic people around me! I really could go on forever, but I'l hold the extra cheese :)

Girls Night!

Went to Thriller with Sheila, Steph, Trista, Kaylyn and Elaine tonight we had a lot of fun eating at Texas Roadhouse then seeing Thriller. There are some amazing dancers in that show, Makes me wish I could dance like that. The zombies were quite fun they kept us laughing!

Bye Bye :(

My Mom and Dad Left for the winter this week and I am feeling lost and alone. They were camp hosts all summer which I think was good it partially weened me. They were still only like an hour away and I could still go see them. Now they are like across two states and I can only call, e-mail or drive for two days to see them. I hope they have a nice retirement, but deep down inside I hope this being gone from the family ALL THE TIME will get old. (Ya right) anyway I am just feeling left behind, but I will get over it I'm sure. Hey at least I got to see them for like three hours before they left.

We are for sale!

I'm not sure what has gotten into us but we are selling everything it seems like. Our house has been for sale for about two years now, but just in the last week Austin has been going throught things and cleaning them up to sell mostly stuff we just don't use and is worth a little cash. To see more pics of our home you can go to forsalebyowner.com and just type in the 83263 zip code and you should be able to find it. We have two homes and are feeling like it's time to get ride of one with the economy the way it is. We have never lived "in Town" so that being where our other house is thats why we want to sell the one in Riverdale. 279,000.00 is what it appraised for so thats what were asking.
This is or cute little teardrop camper that Austin built in like... 2004?? It has been the best little thing for camping until Trace. We just don't fit anymore. It has lights in the cabin and kitchen a ceiling vent and a bunk inside for one child under four feet and then can sleep two small adult inside. We have priced these on the internet and there are rediculously expensive for how small they are I think. We have seen them from 5,000 to 14,000. We have ours priced at 3,750.00. We can't go camping anywhere without someone saying "where'd you get that camper?" Then when Austin says "I made it" they are just dumbfounded. We are sad to sell our cute little camper but we need something bigger.

Cute little kitche area in the back for all your food, and cooler. The sink really works!

Now this Little motorcycle has been fun, but Earlyer this summer Austin got a four wheeler so now we don't use this little guy. We can all fit on the four wheeler but not this. It's a Hondo CT90. It's fun to take camping if you go where they don't allow four wheels. You'll have to call Austin 852-6227 to see what he wants for this he has it on Ksl but i'm not sure of the price.

This is a shot gun that Austin also got from doing a tile job and has never used so he wants to sell it. It's a gorgeous gun from turkey and i think he has it on for $450?? again call him for sure.

I know he has some other thing in the works that he wants to sell. A Mini Lathe is one I know of, but will update as it comes availabe. Just if your wondering we are doing fine, we are just feeling overwhelmed with stuff.
