Kadee's first report!

Kadee was so cute doing her very first report and she did a great job. She told me that she was nervous but I know she was really just excited about it. She couldn't wait to get to school. Kadee loves to have all the attention on her so she was a natural.

Embarrassed!

Oh my gosh my house was such a mess!!! This is my blogger friend Jessica Rabbit from Utah. Yes, she is as beautiful as she looks. Her mom Donna(Stanger Family on my blog) told her that I would kill her if she just dropped by. Do you think that stopped her? NO-WAY she came over anyway!!! I had to make them search for a clean place just to take the picture. I had a feeling I should have cleaned up. This is a reason to always keep a clean house and never take a break. Plus my hair is a mess and I have a ZIT! Jessica is someone you don't want to look gross in front of! I bet she doesn't get ZITS! The truth is I'm glad that she did stop by.
It was good to see you Jessica even if you do look like a beauty queen all the time. I would have been sad if you didn't come and see me while you were here.

My sister Kim came to visit!

I’m so glad that my sister Kim came to visit! We had so much fun until she got sick with a horrible tooth ach! I hope she makes it home ok! She was in so much pain. I feel so bad for her. My kids had lots of fun with her kids. They are already bugging me about when we are going to see them again.

This is Kimberly and her husband Daniel

My daughter Kimmi and her name sake!

Do we look like sisters?

Some of the kids! (Hailee, Kadee, Braden and Ashley)

Out walking!

It was so pretty at the rim we decided to take a walk. The picture of the leg is Chris'! He fell off his skate board again. I'm surprised he is still alive sometimes. I know that the pictures look small but if you click on it they get bigger.

A - LONG - AWAITED - DAY!!!

I'm so excited!!!! My home addition was finally started Friday. We are going to add a dinning, living, laundry, bath and two bed rooms. I know that this is just the beginning but I can't help but be excited about it. We have been planning this forever. I will post pictures of the progress as we go. I posted my kitchen earlier when we remodeled it and since then we have been living without a dinning room. It has kind of been a pain in the butt!!




You can see from this picture that we had to take down the fence on this side. I hope my kids don't run away!


They had to cut down a bunch of trees. I wish I would have got pictures of my two younger boys. They were so excited when the "BIG" tracter showed up. They wanted to help so bad.



These dirt piles and a dream come true for my two boys. I hope the workers don't get mad when they find dirt back in the holes they dug.

Chris and his Crazy friends!

Yes, this is Chris and his crazy friends. They are jumping off the roof on my house. This is what makes mommys have bad dreams!!!


Stupid fun

Look at me now!

I have been thinking that I need to teach Kadee how to ride a bike! I feel bad but Andrew and Kimberly (my older kids) finally taught her how! I'm proud of her and how fast she learned but I feel like I missed a first! I would have posted a video from my camera but I can't figure out how. Can anyone give me a clue?



Wow! Look at me gooooo!

Way to go Kadee!!!!!

My little helpers!

I love my little kids and there help! Even when they threw all the good dirt out of my gardens. I tried so hard to be patient and loving. You all will be proud of the fact that I just smiled and said what a great job they were doing digging up my stawberry plants. They are so cute though. Just look at them looking all innocent!
