12~12~12

Well dates like today just don't happen very often so I wanted to just post a short little post on 12~12~12. I think it would be so fun to have a baby or get married on a cool date like this :) and to think that now we will never see a date like this in our lifetime is a bit bitter sweet.

These five kids right here are my everything!! They make me smile, laugh, happy to be their mom and yes they even make me cry :) So happy that they are all healthy, happy and well on 12~12~12.

This guy right here is my true love, he is my best friend and I am so happy I have him for forever. He works hard for our family, and is such a good daddy! I am a very blessed girl on 12~12~12.

We are so excited for Christmas this year, Rylan and Paisyn have decorated and undecorated our bottom half of the tree so many times I have lost count. They have even opened a few gifts already so we had to re~wrap them as well. Rylan loves to run around yelling HO HO is coming and then her and Paisyn run to the window and look. Its always so much fun to have little ones in your house for Christmas. We went to the lighted parade in Richfield last Saturday and the girls loved it! Brinlyn tried to take pictures of every float and Rylan and Paisyn watched with excitement twinkling in their eyes! The weather was great, and all 7 of us stood out on the road and watched it, the boys favorite part was the fireworks that the fire department set off. I honestly love family outings! :)

As for me, I am healthy and my family is healthy what more could I ask for on a special day like 12~12~12..

First Day Of School 2012-2013 Year

~Sorry this post is not in order but oh well this is my blog and so I can do things how I feel. :) ~
           So first off, can you believe we have a Freshman, a 7th Grader and a 2nd Grader! Holy smokes is all I can really say, Travis and I might be getting old! YIKES

Jaden is now a Freshman at Piute High, this kid has really changed and lost all little boy look what so ever. He has really grown up and loves playing sports! He played his first year of Baseball and even had some Varsity playing time! It was a great season of baseball for the boys, they ended up playing Panguitch for 1st and 2nd down in Dixie for the State Championship game. It was exciting but there were some mishaps in Jaden's case... #1 Mishap ~ the last normal game against Valley right before we started into the State playoffs, Jaden made a killer play but ended up tearing his hamstring in the process. This injury left him on the bench for the remaining of the season :( so no playing time for him in any of the State games. #2 Mishap ~  they went down Thursday night prior to playing Tabiona on Friday in the semi finals in Dixie, he was on crutches from his injury but other wise healthy when I sent him.... Well after our win on Friday against Tabiona, Jaden ended up puking on the bus! Yes, he was sick with the flu!! So the rest of the day and night he spent puking (might I also add that I was home) so he was down there with out mom to help him! UGH!!
So Saturday morning I loaded up all the girls, my mom and Shana and we headed down to help sick Jaden and to also watch the Championship game. This is mishap #3 but it was Paisyn this time. We got to the baseball stadium and was finding a good seat when Paisyn fell off her seat, hit her head on the railing and split open her right eye! Blood everywhere , her and I both, so I left the game that was just starting to take her to instacare for stitches! fun fun day HAHA Well we ended up taking 2nd to Panguitch but all in all it was good game, I brought sick Jaden home with us and that was the end of Jaden's Freshman year of baseaball :)
Now he is trying to heal the torn hamstring still but trying to play basketball as well. So that is Jaden's first half of his school year....

Tanner is now a 7th Grader at Piute High, this kid has blown me away on how in a blink of an eye he grew a foot taller and his voice changed over night! WOW little boy Tanner is long gone and hello to a sassy 12 year old haha..
He loves being out of Elementary and now being able to hang around his best buddy ever Stetson Brindley who lives in Kingston. Tanner has done very well for adjusting to 7th grade life and we are so proud of him.

Brinlyn is now in 2nd Grade and is having tons of fun learning more math, reading and language skills. She is doing really good in school and has tons of fun. She has started her first year of gymnastics and really loves it! She has gotten down her splits and is learning great control, we are so proud of her and her spunkiness.
