Yes we ARE still alive. Just BUSY, busy, BUSY! Fell off the blog band wagon and have not wanted to blog. But i guess i need to. So much has happened and my kids have changed that i don't know where to begin... so for now... i will just post a few recent pictures!

ImageIn June i cut my hours back and am only working 2 days one week and 2 1/2 the next. It has been a BLAST getting to spend more time with my monkeys! This is what we like to do.... SNUGGLE!!

ImageThis little gurl (that's how she says it) is getting BIG. She keeps us HOPPIN'!

ImageMy blond haired, blue eyed little boy! He turned 1 in June. Can't believe it has gone so fast. He is constantly makin us laugh!

ImageHappy Harvest everyone! (we recently poured a new step so now i have more room to decorate... my hubs was NOT impressed! ahaha)

A Ryker Post

A couple weeks ago I went on a trip with the YW girls overnight. Brad sent me a few pictures to inform me that the kids were just fine.. so i thought I would share!


Rykers 1st experience with red vines!

ImageLoved it!

ImageAnd after.
He is sooooo stinkin cute! We just LOVE him to pieces! In the last month he is now crawling EVERYWHERE. He says Momma (that was first hooray) Grandpa (Bampa) and today.. Dadda! Here is a cute video I got of Ryker the other day with a bouncy ball. It is so fun to watch him play with this. Keeps him entertained for a while.

Oops.... forgot March

Well I guess i forgot the month of March. It's because we have had so much fun stuff going on in our lives that it just flew by. Beware lots of pictures.... Last year my over achiever husband started his own business.... mowing lawns. He loves it. We love how happy he is but don't like when he is gone. He bought a trailer last year and has fixed it up. This year he wanted some stickers put on it. I just shake my head every time i see it.... he always makes us laugh.

ImageI had Morgyn pose in front..... she's the cute part of the trailer..... ahahaha

We made a quick trip to Boise at the beginning of the month to help my Grannie. She was getting new carpet and needed help moving ALLLLLLLL the furniture. My parents went and helped move it out and Brad and I moved it back in. I love my Grandma and would do anything for her. She is such a bright spot in my life that i couldn't resist not going to stay with her. Plus my kids LOVE their Granny Stub.

ImageNot sure if it was a good idea or a bad to help her.... loved her new carpet so much that I called Grandpa Dean (next door) and ordered the rest of the carpet for my house the night we came home. Uncle Sam's return came in handy this year.

ImageBefore we could get new carpet... Brad re-did all the baseboards in the front room and hall way.... SOOOOOO NICE!!!

ImageAnd he tiled the front entry-way... (not quite done here!)

ImageAnd here is our awesome friend Richard. He did all the carpet for us. Morg wasn't so fond of him when he got there but by the end of the night she was his right hand man. He was so nice and patient with Morgyn. He let her help him with the roller and hammer things.

That same weekend Ryker got really sick with the flu. After a couple days of not eating and forcing fluids he still didn't pull out of it. I finally got him an appt on Monday evening. Told us they were going to admit him because he was dehydrated. After running some tests and praying like mad (it was NOT the week to be in the hospital) they let us take him home and told us some things to do. We also found out he is anemic. So we are working on that too. uhhhh......

ImageOne of the days he was sick my dad came to visit. Ryker just wanted to snuggle. Captured this sweet picture. He is a grandpa's boy!!!


The same week of illness my baby sister got married. We are soooo super happy for her. It was fun to get to help with her hair and go with her to her bridal pictures.

ImageShe was a BEAUTIFUL bride and it was an awesome sealing. We are sooooo proud of her and love her and Devin so much. Now I can say we are in some way related to the John's family. Devin really is my kids' uncle so therefore Dean and Sherri really are my kids' grandparents. I knew there was a reason we were supposed to move next door.

Was able to go with our Young Women last weekend to conference. We went to the Joseph Smith movie and then was able to watch General Conference there too. It was truly an amazing experience.

ImageThe gang.

ImageOne of the newly released YW leaders that moved back to Utah. Kimmi and I in our matchy matchy coats. We miss her like crazy!

ImageAnd then there is Kelsey and I at the Beehive house. Sleep deprived, Pepsi deprived..... and a little loopy. Love this girl!


Not only was Easter on Sunday it was also my Grandpa Stubstads birthday. I miss him so much and think of him everyday. I saw my friend do this and thought it was a perfect idea for my Morgyn. Brad went and got the balloons the night before and we wrote special messages to our Grandpa.

ImageWoke up early.. to send him a happy birthday wish!

ImageOur dad handing out the balloons!

ImageUp, Up and away to Heaven to wish our Grandpa Happy Birthday!
I miss him........

ImageMy parents stopped by en'route from Boise. Morg's Easter wish was to dye eggs with Granny Poopsieloo. My mom is a trooper.....


ImageAnd an egg hunt too!

ImageThe Easter bunny made it to our house.

ImageAnd it wouldn't be Easter if this cute little boy didn't get a CUTE HAT... (still addicted)
His favorite part.... the green grass...
Morgyn..... her littlest pet shop Monkey.

So that's a wrap for for our Month of March and on to April....... hope i can keep up with this.... guess we'll see.
