Ashton's peewee baseball

I love the mean look on his face...he is getting serious.

Here come the major's!

He's such a cutie! We adore him, and it was an absolute blast watching him play.

4 months later, i know...Parade entry for 2009

This was my dream Laundry room...i could live in there!

Fun for the kids!

This is the master shower...the beams are running through the shower.

The wagon wheel above the kitchen island.

The entry way.

Jeff works for Cary Blake Contsruction..otherwise know as C.Blake Homes. He has been with Cary for 16 years. Longer than he's been with me! He is Cary's Foreman. The Blakes have been really good to us, and we have been so blessed to stay busy in during this lull in the construction industry! This was their entry for the Parade of homes for 2009. It was located in the Cliffs, and was their best one yet! (in my oppionion) I have a very gifted husband who takes pride in his work, and always does it right the first time. He has a gifted eye and talent with wood, and has built some amazing things. Im very proud of him.

All the woodwork is done by Cary's crew. They don't hire this out. They are so tallented, and im excited to one day get some of this in my own home...after all, i have free labor! :)

Totally random pics of me in Elementry school!

June 2, 09 Happy 9th Emmaleah

Happy birthday Emstar!

May 10, 2009 Happy birthday Jesse!

Here is our oldest daughter Jessica, on her 14th birthday. I struggle with the fact that in two more years she will be 16. And in 4 more years, she will graduate. I remember being 14, and it was NOT that long ago. We celebrated her birthday on Mothers day, up at my mother in law's house.

Hiking in Snow Canyon

I love that we have so many different rock colors...all in one place you find white, red, black and gray. Not to mention the different colors of greens with the sagebrushes. Truely God's country!

Last weekend we went hiking in Snow canyon...how lucky are we to live here in this beautiful country!

Jeff, and the kids. Yes, these are Red Rocks...for all of you who don't live in Utah.

Raquel went all the way up. It was even funier to watch her try to get down....she's a thinker!

Camping at Mamoth Creek

Mamoth is up by Panguich lake, for those of you that don't know.

This was our three day adventure at Mamoth Creek. Don't recomend fishing up there, cause the flies will eat you alive.....at least thats what it feels like, when your swarmed by THOUSANDS!! It was very beautiful, and the weather was perfect except for the 10 min. drizzle's every hour.

We went camping with My sister in law Brandi, and her husband and two boys, and Our good friends, and camping companions Glen and Sharlie Carnahan. This is a fort, that all the kids pitched in and helped make. In order...A.J., Callie, Emma and Grant. I was actually quite impressed...if our kids ever got lost in the woods, they definatley have the shelter part down...now they would probably starve, cause i don't think any of my kids would eat a bug.

I have the sweetest little boy, who loves to pick me flowers. And he always wants me to put them in my hair. Then he tells me im beautiful. Someday, he will make the perfect husband!

(Callie and Emmaleah)

I LOVE to take pictures...These two little girls have grown up together since birth. Their fathers are Best Friends, and we hope these two remain as close as their daddy's!

A.J. and Grant

If these two get in to 1/2 the trouble that there dads did, we are in serious trouble!!

The drive down Cedar Mountain.....i love Utah!
