Jarom's Senior Portrait by Gates! I love, love, love it!!!!!!!

So it's been a long long time since I've posted. I finally am learning how to use our new computer. Lifes been full of busy-ness. I love my family and am proud of every single one of us. Here's just a touch at whats been happening in our family below.

Jarom's doggie wash Eagle Project:)
Jarom and Haley Prom night

Jarom has GRADUATED H.S. on May 20th. It was the best graduation we have ever been too! Only an hour!! It was sweet and to the point. We are so proud of him. He is our last child to graduate H.S... Addison and Rigdon will be next in the fam. Only 18yrs away.

Jarom's pole vault pics by Gates!!

Landon and Faith just found out this week they are having a BOY!!! Yeah. Landon is very unhappy about this-haha- He really wanted a girl- I feel so bad for him because he is heart broken-haha- But I think he will live and get over it soon- You can see the baby on Faith's facebook and blog.

Make sure you check out Gates and Tausha's blog too to see our twin granbabies Addison and Rigdon. Cute, cute, very, very cute. Nick is raking in the money and Nicky sold her first house!!!

That's it for now:)

New Year

2010-02-07T16:19:00.001-08:00

So I noticed it's been 4 months since I posted last. Wow just a busy life I live. We had our two new grand babies on Nov. 10, 2009 Rigdon and Addison. It was so awesome! They are the cutest.!

We had all our children for Thanksgiving this year which made up for last year having non of them. We loved it! Made it through Christmas with the help of Faith! Everyone needs to give her a thanks for all the shopping/wrapping help she gave me. It wouldn't have been as great without her. We had all our kids over for christmas eve and christmas morning. Its was amazing and the BEST EVER!! Now its a new year and hope we have a lot of fun, laughter, growth & great times ahead. As soon as I learn how to use our new computer I can post some pics. In the mean time I think we have an amazing family and amazing friends:).

On July 1st we took my Dad to hospic not knowing he would pass away 11days later. Wow what an experience living at hospic with him and all my family for 11 days. He passed away on July 11, 2009. I will never forget that experience. Things happened and things were said that were life changing. It was amazing and alot to process. It was hard but rewarding. It was the bitter sweet experienc. It was an experience that wasn't in my plans last month but here are some pics that are priceless to me- A thank you to all our kids for being there and loving and supporting their Grandma. Everyone was able to be there except for Landon. So just pretend he is standing next to Faith. He was called to go to scout camp. Well camping on the beach in calif with the teachers and priest isn't exactly scout camp. ha ha it's more vacation I think:)

Thank you Tausha Linn!

Wow! What an amazing surprise on Valentines Day! Dad and I love it, love it, love it! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day too!

Dave left me a love note and a small heart shaped cake on the kitchen island so I would see them right when I walked into the kitchen. And it was an awesome surprise to see first thing in the morning!!! Our son Nick and his fiance Nicky dropped by ( which I totally love any and all the time) and Jarom ( the last one living at home) took off with his friend Riley too a unicycle meet where they walk up south mtn and ride their unicylces down it. He came home all sunburned and out of commission for the rest of the night. He has been like a zombie walking & laying around ever since, but I see him starting to come alive again. hahaha I think his whole body was so sore! Oh he had a little "incident" coming down the mountain- he jumped 15ft down to save his unicycle that had slide out from underneath him. He told me " I risked my life to save my unicycle". ( make me laugh) So back to Nick and Nicky- They were so happy and excited when they came over because they had just bought a couch for their new apartment. Dave and I ( well really Dave and Nick) helped them move in a little. Nicky and I just watched. haha. But we are so excited for them and their new place. It was a great day!

Sunday we went and heard our daughter Faith and new son Landon speak in church. It was the greatest! Moms and Dads know what I'm talking about when I say it was the greatest! Anytime you get to be apart of those moments is like the happiest feelings you have. At least it is for me.

Faith and Landon were very thoughtful & made everyone some yummy really cute, cute valentines cupcakes. Thank you Faith and Landon- the missionaries came for dinner and loved eating them too.

Thanks to everyone for loving each other and everyone!

SURPRISE!!!
