Ready for preschool

Today Samantha and I went to McKay's preschool to help in the classroom. Samantha was so excited to go to "school"she jumped in line, sat quietly on the mat and raised her hand to answer questions. My little girl is growing up so fast :)

Summer Fun

Just to list a few things that we have done this summer!

Steven finished school in Flagstaff, AZ NAU with a bachelors in Nursing. We moved to Kingman Arizona for a job at KRMC's ER.





Lost a pet fish that was older than McKay.


Went on lots of hikes!


McKay started school (preschool) Brigham and Aubrey started at a new school. Aubrey has been in a new school every year so far, poor thing. I think we will be here for a few years though. Kindergarden was in Eustis, Florida, 1st grade was in Clayton, N.Carolina, 2nd grade was in Thatcher, Arizona, 3rd grade was in Flagstaff, Arizona, and 4th grade is in Kingman, Arizona.

Soccer Season

Summer this year was soccer!


McKay was the FASTEST kid his age on the field, according to Coach John Denzer. I was only able to watch 2 of his games. He is really fast. By the end of the game when the other kids were getting tired and not running as fast, McKay was still sprinting! He has a big brother (Brigham) that races him everywhere and everyday!


This was Brigham's first year playing but you would not know it! He scored more goals then anyone else when I watched. By the end of the season, he had really improved his feet work and was able to drive that ball around people and score!

Snow, Snow, and lots and lots of more Snow!!!

We got back from our trip to Thatcher just in time to get ready for a huge snow storm. I went to the store got plenty of milk and groceries and got ready to go nowhere for the next 4 days. The storm started on sat night and lasted until Monday afternoon. We got over 2 feet of snow! Church was cancelled on Sunday (the 3rd time in 25 years) and both Steven's and the kids school where closed Monday. It is all melting fast, we are back up into the 50's so we are enjoying it while it lasts

Trip to Thatcher

So my van has been needing some work and Steven's 4runner decided to start acting up so we decided to make a whirlwind trip to thatcher for spring break. It was nice to get down to some warmer weather, spend time with family, and get the cars fixed. We got to see grandma great (96) go to the temple and see great grandma and grandpa Damron and Dixon (of which of course we forgot to get out the camera) Steven turned wrenches for 2 days (how I Love that man) thanks to him, Uncle Weston, grandpa Damron, and cousin Hudson our cars are in great working order again. Maybe one day we will actually get a break for spring break, oh well.

McKay is 4, and it is about Time

McKay is 4, and it is about Time!! This little guy have been waiting FOREVER to be 4!!! Doesn't help that he is taller then most 4 year olds we know and acts like the biggest kid on the block. But we love, love, love this guy. He won't quit or let his age or size get in the way. He is so darn cute he can pretty much get away with anything. McKay is very much his own person and our family is so blessed to have him apart of it, never a dull moment that's for sure! Happy Birthday little Stinker!!!

Back Home

Samantha was released from the hospital on Monday (which was such a blessing because McKay's birthday was Tuesday) the whole family was outside waiting for her, riding their bikes, we pull in and she keeps saying bike ride, bike ride. The poor thing had not even been able to stand up for 30 seconds for the past 4 days and she gets home and wants to go for a bike ride. She was sent home on oxygen so we got out the portable tank and went for a family bike ride. Her health just went uphill from there!!!
