Celebrating Mom's Birthday

My new bunny wabbit

So one day I decided that I wanted a low maintainece pet, so I thought why not get a bunny.......their easy and low maintainence!! So this guy was giving his rabbit away and i couldnt pass it up. Here is a picture of Pooper and his first owner. Isn't he cute!!!

Ok so this is my real bunny........well was, until one of my roomates said she's "allergic" to it. So i gave him to some of my girlfreinds. Just some silly photos and being dumb w/ Poopers :-)

Just a few pic's from Zachary's blessing!

We had a double blessing with Zachary's cousin, Teryn Peterson. It was a very exciting day.

Hardy had lots of fun for his 1st Easter. The Easter bunny was good to him.

Cabin trip to Pine for Jake's Bday

So, over the weekend we took a trip to Leisel's family cabin in Pine to celebrate Jake's birthday. Jake, Leis, Berlin, Hyrum, Chels, Hardy, Seth, Jacque, Porter and I. It was mucho fun. It was chilly and beautiful in the mountains. We played games, shot guns, took a good walk/hike, and were entertained by the babies. It was a short trip, but it was great! Happy Birthday Jake!!

Happy Birthday Alley

Things I love about Alley........

Walking dictionary: I'm sure she knows every word out there and its meaning. I admire her intelligence and knowledge of history too.

Her ability to laugh: It seems we'll end up laughing about anything and everything, even when it can be a serious subject.

Backrub and tickles: She's got this magical tickle that can put you in a trans......well it does for me! :-) Her backrubs are awesome, even if she does like to push on one of my pressure points to make me hurt, everthing else is so great.

Love you Alley........Happy Birthday! Love Maren

Starting this blog

Well, thanks to Nate and Hyrum (and others??) we already have a family site where we can view older and more recent pics of the fam.. I've had some time on my hands and have decided to start a family blog. This way you all can be involved in posting your own pictures and updating the rest of us on what is new with you. Hopefully ALL will participate!! I found, after making a few calls to get feedback on the idea, that there is a common opinion between family members.. "Ya that would be cool, but there is nothing interesting going on in my life, blah, blah, blah.." If you don't want to write about yourself, you can always post news articles or new music, videos, pictures of an Idaho potato, the beach in Cali, the buildings in NY, the Lincoln memorial, a cowboy in TX or an AZ sunset, just things that everyone doesn't get to see that often, etc.. It'll just be fun to have some family interaction more often.
Love and miss you all, Lizzy
