Dear God,

A Sunny Day At Miller Farm

Zach had a field trip to Miller Farm. The weather was beautiful and the kids had a blast. This is a working farm and they teach you about planting. They have a big green house and all kinds of flowers and vegetables. In the fall they have a pumpkin patch but I think the kids enjoyed the play area the best. They are very creative and have all kinds of things to enjoy.

Zach and Connor were best buds on the trip. They were my little group to keep track of.



They had all kinds of things for the kids to do. Zach loved the pedal tractors the best.



If you want to see a giant rooster, big shoe, extra large bug and an old plane go to Miller Farm.

The best were the Cars characters. I thought Mator was done the best.

We all had a great time and would highly recommend a trip out there.
I was really blessed to get to share that time with Zachy.

The DAM Post

Brooklyn and I were talking one day about field trips. She wanted to know if I went on any fun field trips when I was in school. I told her we didn't do fun trips like she does but we did go on the DAM FIELD TRIP. We went to the Red Willow Dam when I was in 3rd grade. I told her how as 3rd graders we loved saying that we went on the DAM field trip. She was rolling. Later that week we went to Nana and Papa's for the weekend when we arrived I noticed that they had a DAM CALENDAR on the counter. I picked it up and showed Brooklyn the DAM calendar knowing that she would get a kick out of it. She ran around the house showing everyone the DAM calendar and saying "DAM calendar" as much as she could. It began to get very annoying to everyone especially Zach because he needed some help so he yells "Can anyone help me find my DAMN LEGOS?" We all began laughing hysterically at the same time explaining to him how inappropriate it was. Oh the good times!

Happy Easter!

I hope that you all have a wonderful Easter. Please take time to remember the sacrifice that God gave us. He sent his only Son to die and the cross for OUR sins so that we might have eternal life with Him in Heaven if we choose to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Have you done that yet? Have you asked for forgiveness? We all need it.

Delight Gluten Free Magazine

WooHoo! My friend Julie has published her first copy of her magazine. It is a magazine for people that are gluten intolerant. She has first hand experience since her husband and son both have Celiac Disease. You should check it out because whether you are gluten intolerant or not it has great recipes and stories. I am so proud of her accomplishments. She also has her website up and running at http://www.delightgfmagazine.com/. Check it out. Oh and by the way if you subscribe to the magazine the first copy is free but hurry that is only for the first 200 subscribers.

Funny Friday!

Will it take over?

Will what take over? Facebook, of course. It is my new addiction. Brandon thinks that I get on there to look for a new boyfriend but that is the last thing I want. I can't keep up with the man, kids, and jobs that I have. I have already found people that I haven't talked to in a very long time. It is kind of fun to see where everyone is at and get to know them again. Wally is against facebook so I tried for a long time not to get sucked in but it happened. Like a big vacuum it sucked me in and now I worry, will it take over my blog? Will it become more important to me? GASP! Surely not! Only time will tell.

Webkinz Wedding

During our Christmas visit to Nana and Papa's house we made time for a Webkinz wedding. Nana always goes way over the top. She made the lovely stage, bought the outfits, made a bouquet and corsages for the wedding party, and even made a wedding cake for the occasion. Autumn's frog and Sidney's frog were joined together in holy matrimony. Brandon was the pastor and we all got to be the on lookers. It was a hoot.

It's The End Of The World As We Know It!

Run For Your Life!!!!

Happy New Year!

I know that I am only 3 weeks late in telling you that. Work has just made it impossible for me to keep up with my blog. I know that you are tired of seeing the HEAD so I have posted some pics of what has happened in the month since I blogged last. Here it goes.......

This is the Christmas picture that I used in our card. I ran out of cards so I apologize to all of my friends in Colorado who didn't get one. I even got them to pose for some individual shots. I take what I can get.

Our next big happening was that Zach lost his first tooth. WooHoo the tooth fairy came too and left him $5. They don't get that for every tooth just the first one.

Brooklyn had her first band concert right before Christmas. She did a great job! She even played a couple Christmas songs for us at house church.

Our newest and most beloved addition to the house is GUITAR HERO! I must admit I find it quite fun. Jeff K. enjoys playing but only if he can wear the Hannah Montana wig while he does it. The little boys also get into it. They are the coolest showing off there buff bods.

I know that I always say this but I hope to be better about blogging. A new year could bring many new things to share about. Happy New Year!

Forth Photo

I have to go along with all of the 4th photos that I am finding on every ones blogs. I wasn't sure what to expect because we just had to erase everything on the computer and I wasn't sure how many pictures I would even have. I didn't know if there would be a 4th folder but there was and ttttaaaadddaaaa....

What comes up but a picture of my husbands big noggin and it's not even a good picture. Zach needed some close ups for a school project one night. So that is why we have that lovely pic. I bet that you all are jealous of my picture folders right now:)

Everyone should play along with the picture in...picture file

Let's see if you can all come up with something better than the BIG HEAD!

Bird is the Word!

We had a very quiet, well not very quiet because we do have 3 kids, Thanksgiving. We stayed home this year and enjoyed a dinner of our own. Brandon cooked the bird because I was not about to stick my hand in the turkey's butt and pull out who knows what. We fixed the sides together and had way more food than we needed. It turned out better than I expected because I had kind of been depressed that week because I am used to big holidays with lots of family. It wasn't so bad spending time at home this Thanksgiving.

The Bird! So plump and juicy!

Turkey, rolls, potatoes, corn, gravy, green bean casserole, stuffing, jello, and pie

We are very blessed in deed!

Where Do Crescent Rolls Come From?

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

The most wonderful time of year for me is the annual Yada shopping trip. I love the time that I get to spend with these ladies. They are the best of friends. We laugh ALOT, sometimes cry, and everything in between. It is great to know that you can go months without seeing them and get together and it seems like we were never apart. We shopped our butts off. I think we spend almost 20 hours shopping on our trip. This was a mile stone year for us as well because there was no one breast feeding on the trip. I didn't see any ones boobs this year. Next year won't be the same since Kristi is going to have another baby. We will have to see her boob I'm sure. I was so thankful for the time we had together and can't hardly wait till next year.

After 16 hours of shopping, this is our load. We take it back to the room for show and tell.

The greatest group of ladies!

One of these ladies went home with a hot pair of men's chili pepper thong underwear that I couldn't resist putting in our exchange gift. They were hilarious! What Fun!

What a Weekend!

We had one busy weekend considering that it was our first weekend without soccer and I thought that we would get to relax. We did not relax. Friday we drove to Longmont and went to a Go Fish concert. I thought that it was more fun than Brandon did. They are a Christian kids band. They are better than the Wiggles. The kids really enjoyed it.

On Saturday we got ticket to the CU vs. OSU football game in Boulder. Not exactly my cup of tea but I took one for the family and sucked it up. The temperatures could have been worse. God must have known how miserable I would have been if I was cold. We sat by some good friends and had a fun time. We even took the shuttle bus to the game for an added experience.

At one point I caught Brooklyn cheering for the Buffs. GASP!

Now I need a day off to recover from our days off. It was a great weekend filled with wonderful family time. We need to cherish those times.

Character Counts

I got a call from Zach's teacher yesterday at work saying that they chose him to receive the character counts award for this month at school. He won the reward for being responsible. They said that they can always count on him to be working on what he is suppose to be doing. He is always following instructions and staying on task. Who's kid is this anyway and why doesn't he do this at home! We are very proud of him and I'm glad that he listens to somebody. Way to go Zach!

Don't Forget To Vote

Tuesday is the big day! Don't forget to...

What do Star Wars, Hannah, and a Trash Can have in common?

You guessed it! It was all costumes that my kids wore for Halloween. It was a beautiful evening. The temps were in the 60's. You didn't have to wear a big bulky coat over your costume like in so many Halloweens past. Zach did his usual 10 houses and was done with it all. It works out good for me because them Zach and I just get to sit at home and pass out candy. Brandon takes the girls out a little farther and they all end up with way more candy than they would ever need. I hope that you all had a good evening too!

The Loot!

Trick or Treat!

Happy Trick or Treat Day!
