Mark and I have been married for just over 14 years now. We met at Shopko, like so many other couples we know. We love our kids, life would be boring without them. We love to go to our families cabin, swim in our white trash pool, and work in our yard. I enjoy working at the school my kids attend. There is nothing better than working with kids, even the brutely honest ones!
Coltrin is 5 and my little charmer. He is just so darn cute. He says and does some of the funniest things. He is also a huge klutz. He is so full of energy, and wants to be outside constantly. I fell madley in love with my little man the first time I held him. We love love our little boy.
Merecedes
Sades is the typical sixteen year old in ten year old body. She loves to dance and has a huge passion for softball. She is always making us laugh with her "Alaskan" ways! She is so smart and does everything she tries with perfection. I know she has the drive to be an amazing whatever she wants to be when she grows up. Can't wait to see!
Adley
Our little Adlers. She is just a very funny little lady. She can stare you down or smother you with love. She adores dolls, dessing up, and loves books. She is so laid back and just takes in everything around her. What a joy she is in our lives.
It's Marks' birthday on Father's Day this year. We decided to go to the cabin for the day. It was sprinkling a little when we left, but when we reached the gate it was a hail storm from heck. The gate was mysteriously closed, so I decided to brave the storm and trudge up the super slippery hill almost dying twice, to see if my parents were there. All while, Adley is bawling in the truck thinking her mom had wandered out into the wilderness never to be seen again. My parents were there, and weren't sure why the gate was closed and locked. Anyway, once everyone was dry, we relaxed in the cabin and had dinner. Happy Fathers Birthday, Mark!
We dedided that rain or shine we would be brave and go the Trapnell party. It was a little bit rainy and a lot cold, but the kids had fun. Sades, Sheby (Sades friend), and Coltrin all had a chance to climb the rock wall. Adley and Coltrin both jumped in the bounce house, and everyone enjoyed hot dogs and cotton candy that Sades butted in line for. I even got to put together a couple of baskets for the drawing. Good job Ang for putting together such an incredibly fun day!
It's time to fertilize the yard! It takes a while to spread the stuff all over our big yard, but luckily Adley, was helping to help out her dad. She even got to sport the bright orange froggie rain gear. Someday, our yard will be beautiful and finished!
Colrin wanted a dinosaur cake for his birthday this year. I also decided to get a yummy strawberry cake for fun. He was so exited for his and to blow out all of the candles.
We celebrated Coltrin's birthday the day after. First we went swimming with the Clayson clan, and then had the fam over for fabulous cake and ice cream. Coltrin was so, so, so excited to unwrap his Perfect Brownie Pan. He has been asking for it since the very first infomercial came on. Every time he saw a commercial, he would say"we should get that" and then it became #! on his wish list. He even got a Nintendo DSI from mom and dad, but the pan was still his favorite. Dang it! We could have saved like 200$. We had a lot of fun celebrating his fifth birthday. Happy Birthday you cute little old man!
Coltrin, woke up a whole five years old today! I made sure he had a ginormous yummy chocolate cupcake to eat for breakfast. It sure looks like he enjoyed it!
My kids love love love this event. They have so many fun rides, huge baskets to bid on, and great food. This year, they even had the awesome Cosmo. Sades and Coltrin were so excited to get autographs from him. I hope ours can be this big one day!!
