Krystal and Richies Wedding

After months of planning and shopping it finally paid off. To see Krystal and Richie so happy!
The sealing went beautifully. With all the love ones inside to witness. It was so wonderful to see Krystal in her wedding dress.
After the sealing we rushed around for final items needed. With the help of Theresa she finished up little things. When I finally got back to the reception site I did the last minute touches and made sure everything was ready to go. The reception was a blast with tons of people showing up and having lots of fun!
The reception was beautiful! Above all Krystal and Richie were so happy!
That is the best of all!

Mesa Temple Lights
The Lights are always such a sight to see. We love going down to see all the hard work and preparation put into the lights and the wonderful program they have each night!
This is year I had a camera that actually worked so I was excited to go, but we get there and I take three Pictures and the camera dies...the battery went dead..I couldn't belive it! I guess we will have to go back! They are not the best pictures. But you get the point!

Bass Pro Shop Christmas

We went down to visit Santa at the Bass Pro Shop, we had heard he was making a stop there. So we loaded everyone up and drove down there. We had a lot of fun! The boys got to write a letter to Santa and color a picture. Then going to the Bass Pro Shop is always a treat for them, they love to see all the fish and animals.The boys got to shoot air guns at targets and practice their hand at hunting.

Then Dad had to get his turn in!

Bryan did it again

Okay with a family of SIX boys there never seems to be a dull moment around here..It seems like I can never keep something posted to long before I have to add something new..Anyways ok so 11-13-08 the boys and there friends were over to playing on the trampoline. I had just gotten in the shower when I heard Nathan scream Bryan's name. I cam running out to find Nathan carrying him inside and setting him on the counter. Bryan had broke his arm again! He landed and went to catch himself and it went backwards. Nathan took him to the ER where they found he broke both bones, nice clean brakes. So he stayed in the splint for awhile, and had to stay home from school until he could get in to see the orthopedic doctor. Well we went and saw him today where they took more x-rays and then finally put a cast on him. Of course he chose a blue one! We go back in a week to make sure none of the bones moved! He gets to endure this cast for five weeks. Bryan is actually totally excited to get back to school. Poor boy was so bored at home for three days!
Bryan was as cheerful as these flowers to get back to school with is friends and brothers.

Justin and Cody

Justin came to visit a last time before he was to be shipped off to Iraq. He took the time to get a picture with Cody. We are all going to miss Justin while he is gone serving our country.We hope and pray that all will be well and he will be safe.

I love my little huge family so much! Life would be so different with out them. The everyday life can be a challenge, but hey whats a little challenge. I will take them head on! We a family who isn't afraid of a little challenge!
I love this chance to watch these boys grow into young men! I can't wait for the day that I get to take a picture with them and they all rise above me!

AHHH a weekend away from it all well most of it...

Our wonderful friends/neighbors invited to us to spend the weekend with them up at their dad's cabin in Payson. It was a quick little vacation but so needed. After stopping at Wal-Mart for a few things.
(I love that Wal-mart in Payson, we always find tons of cool things there). We got up there Saturday afternoon and spent most of that day getting acquainted with his dad and the kids checking everything out. Denny's wife made a delicious dinner. Lydia cooked BBQ Ribs and chicken, with mashed potatoes and Baked Beans...It was so GOOD! I have to keep telling her that..
The next morning we ate a wonderful breakfast, helped his dad with a couple of things around the cabin.

Nathan taking a hold of Sam while I played with the twins, this wonderful husband is always willing to help out when I admit to needing help.

Nathan and I took all the boys for a walk down to the creek where we got to take a couple pictures of the boys! We didn't get to stay to long, because it was so COLD! The wind was blowing and it looked as if some type of storm was going to blow through.
Sam, Devin, and Kevin

Nathan, Josh, Bryan and the boys friend Jay. They all look just a little cold!

Josh took some time to look and see what all was in the river as it floated by quickly!

On our way home, coming down at of the mountains of Payson we hit some rain, just enough to make the truck look dirty. We arrived home to WINDY weather, which made it nice and cool here.

It was so nice to get away out of town for a short while and can't wait to go back again.
