Once again it is Dylan:::::

I had to get some sleep since I start graves tonight! Dylan wanted chocolate milk and since we are out of milk he decided on hot chocolate.... gGRRRRRRR here is his reciepe: all the nesquick thats is left into a pan of dish soap and hand sanitizer and add sugar put on stove and hope sister doesn't wake mom before he is done!!! Thankfully she did before he turned the stove on.

Another Dylan Moment:

Its his turn to bless the food and he is going on so I prompt him to close and he says "not yet, please please bless it will taste good this time". WHAT WOULD I DO WITH OUT THIS LITTLE ONE.I love them all but Dylan does make me laugh or scream the most

The way kids talk

I had to laugh tonight I just love my children and the joy they bring into my life. Dylan told me tonight that my Bikini bread is the best he ever hab. I laughed and though maybe I should get a bikini and put the bread in it just for fun.

Rain Rain Go Away

For the last few weeks as many around us have had the same it has rained more than ever. Our govenor has declared a disaster due to homes flooding from the ground being so saturated (yes even the one we were in had this happen) to the snake river flooding in parts. Well finally we had a day that was nice so I decided to take the kids to Jensens Grove to play. Needless to say they had to swim on the play ground literally. The water in certain areas was up to the benches of the picnic tables. The kids LOVED it and want to go back. There are also pictures of Johnathon and Kyra skateboarding or at least attempting to. With all the things that have been happening to our family lately and all the trials from Dylan,Katie, the house rob and his sister and everything else. I keep thinking these are signs of the times. Am I ready to meet the Lord? Can I honestly stand before him and be happy. I am so grateful for the power of the priesthood (I really miss it in my home) and the teachings of forgiveness, repentance and the joy I feel from knowing that there is a way. I know our Heavenly Father loves us and is just waiting for us to be ready to come to him. Sometimes I ask why and please don't give me anymore trials and stress I just can't handle it, than I have to humble myself and remember he will only give us what we can handle. And blessing come from those trials,(i'm still waiting for that part). Either way I am thankful that I have my family we may struggle and may not always get along but they are always there when needed most.

No more Summer fun

Memorial weekend ended up costing dearly. Poor Dylan is starting his summer in a thigh high cast. He was on the trampoline and fell on the springs breaking this tibia bone right below the growth plate by the knee.

Where to start

Well its been about a month since I wrote anything. Finals went great all A's but one C. We had the kids party only 5 total showed up so it was nice!!! School is almost out about eight days left. we found out we will be moving. For now we are going to be staying with Rob's Dad until we can find something else. So once again packing to move next door.It will be interesting.

Just an Update....

Well its been a while for us that I haven't had much time to do much. Finals...Where to begin? I have taken and passed all but two which will be this next week. This semester has gone by so quickly. But my classes were pretty easy well mostly. I have found I love teaching primary. Ariana and I still but heads at times but I know that things will come as they should. ROB AND I REALLY ARE CRAZY AND WE JUST FOUND OUT!!! This year the birthdays have started to pile up on us so we though it would be so smart to just get the sleep overs out of the way so........ are you ready for this...... Next Friday we are having Kyra, Johnathon, and Shayla sleepovers.... 5 friends each..... Pre teens HEAVEN HELP US!!! 21 kids in my house. Hey bright side is we may not have to do anymore repairs because they will all just tear it to the ground and than we can just start over.

Ok now the serious stuff... Dylan is sick again more mold. Right now we are controlling it with lots of allergy meds. And we are starting more repairs. More construction which leads to more stress.

Katie had another eye appointment....Not good. We are now at 2100 and 2200 is legally blind. We won't know for sure what will be in store for when she starts school this next fall. We are taking her in for another opinion and than will go from there.

If you ever need a handout or something for primary, young womens etc I found a blog that she does it all its pretty neat there is a link on the blogs that I follow at the bottom

Johnathon Award

Johnathon received the Heroism award tonight he was so nervous. He did wonderful him and katie stood on the stage and everyone was almost in tears when they prsented the award everyone stood up and clapped.

Easter Egg Hunt

Dylan was so excited to get a bat and ball the boys already had new church clothes so they got toys

EASTER

Johnathon thought he wasn't getting what he always wanted some computer games. But he did and loved them. He was so excited he was screaming like a little girl! (not that unusual around here)

Our Kids

We needed more pictures of the kids so I made them do some poses

PICS OF KIDS

More Dylan and Kyra

Another post of Dylan being a crazy three year old. And after all that beautiful WARM weather.... I even had a BBQ first of the year, than we got hit with a pretty bad storm. Most of the snow had melted before I decided to take a picture but there is still enough to see something

Just some more pics of Dylan and my neice Nicole

Katie and Dylan Posing Katie loves stuffed animals and Dylan well......Lately is weird I think Kyra had something to do with the Pic with the Bra on whether she admits it or not. Last Halloween Katie was a fairy so Dylan decided to play in the wings

WOW- need a laugh

We received our baby chicks and there are 27 counting the rare exotic one (the black one we don't know what it is) I had to go and buy a heating lamp for them so I got the red one just because. We put them in the swimming pool for the brooder box lol its all I could think of. Well......we received a visitor asking to see the back room where we have the chicks because apparently last night there was a red glow coming from that room and I guess some meth labs have that so they thought we may be dealing drugs. I laughed so hard!!!

Cooking Lesson #2

Kyra and Johnathon decided they knew how to make Rice Krispies. After all I've told them and they have watched me. Here is there Recipes not too bad till later.
Make them on the stove with butter, marshmallows, and rice krispies put into pan (that's seem right) well they added what they thought you should do Bake at 400 for 20 min. WOW they were interesting. I asked them where they got that part and was told well its in a pan so you need to bake them. They were so bad I could only laugh. I let them help me make a batch the next day so everyone could enjoy them. They are learning slowly and hopefully before they burn the house down.
