SAM GOT THE JOB!

This morning Sam we found out that he got job he interview for at the U of U! We both cried and thanked Heavenly Father for opening the windows of heaven on our family. We have been waiting for this type of opportunity for a long time now. Sam has never been SO EXCITED about a job before. We are so proud of Sam and know he will do a great job! I guess he will have to convert from blue to red."Good Job Dad! We knew you could do it!"

Poor Princess P.....take 2!

Two weeks ago Paizlie was back on her breathing treatments again. This time she came down with RSV. "RSV?" "Really?" The doctor said, "Yep, but look at it this way, she won't get it in January now." I thought to myself.... "thanks doc for the reassuring news". Paizlie never got real sick this time and her oxygen levels were high so she did great. She's a fighter and such a good baby. P.S.- Don't you love her hat?

Here's to TEN years....Happy Anniversary!

It's crazy to think Sam and I have been married TEN years now. How time flys. I look back at these pictures and think...wow we looked so young or wow we are getting old...





Thank you for 10 years Sam. We've had our ups and downs but I'm glad we're still in it together. I am thankful I have you and our four beautiful children. We have been blessed and I look forward to another 10 more with you. Happy Anniversary! I love you!

Good Luck Dad!

I have to say I am affraid to post this...I don't want to jinks anything. However, the kids wanted to make a poster for their dad for his big day tomorrow. Sam has a job interview with the U of U tomorrow. He has to give a big presentation, he's been working on it for a couple of weeks. We PRAY he gets the job. We just wanted to wish him luck.

Paizlie and her two Grandpas.....

I love to see my kids with their grandparents. We were in Spanish Fork last weekend and it so happened I got Paizlie sitting with both of her grandpas. Aren't they all so cute? Now, whose side of the family does she resemble to you?
p.s.-this one is for you Jerry!

Falling Leaves.....and they keep falling.

We have a HUGE poppler tree in our back yard. Lets just say we have a blast every fall. We've raked only a 1/3rd of our leaves so far and this was the result....

Halloween.....2009

My dad really knocked himself out this year. These pictures aren't going to do this post justice. This year Grandpa Owen simulated his skeleton, we like to call Yorik, to sing "Halloween Stew". He had his witch participating too. In years past, the witch stirred her brew. However, this year, he simulated a skeleton head to pop out of the brew during the song. It spit water on you. He had lights in the back ground and shadows of trees cut out to make it look haunted. Then in the grave yard he had Albert pop out of a casket, Clyde rise up to ten feet tall, then King Leer hiding behind a tomb stone while lights flashed to the beat of the music playing. It was quite a sight. He always out does himself....and everyone comes to see his "new creation".

Halloween Parade and Party!

Daxton had a fun Halloween celebration this year. His grade had a cute Halloween performance. They sung about six Halloween songs. Grandpa Owen, Grandma Bobbi, Aunt Kayla, and Maezlie all came up to see him perform. We watched the school Parade then we enjoyed watching Dax perform with his grade. He was really cute. Later that day I went and helped at his class party. The room mother knocked everyones socks off. She threw a GREAT party. The kids got spoiled and had a blast.
