Photo Friday - Colorful

I promise Im not on a graffiti kick! 
Man there are some talented people out there!

Photo friday....a little late

I know this is a little late...Ive had a very

busy 2 weeks!

In my neighborhood...

We live really close to the train tracks!

I am always amazed at the "graffiti"

 or "art" on the train cars! 

It amazes me how creative some

people can be .. and how in the world

they can catch a train sitting still long

enough to get creative!
this isn't the most creative....but still worth looking at.

next week: colorful

The BIG "4"

Holy Moly where has the
time gone?  I can't believe this
little man is the BIG "4"!

He keeps us on our toes!  
He's very busy!
He's spoiled rotten!
He loves his super hero's!
He is so stinking smart!
He thinks he's as big as his brothers!

LOVE him to the moon and back!

16 and Ready to Date

 Its only taken me 3 months to

get him to let me take his picture!  
This boy turned 16 in June and he is finally going to 

go on his first date! 

 Homecoming here he comes!

Photo Friday - Close up

I can honestly say I have not seen one of these guys in

a very very long time!  I took this with my phone

cause I didn't have my camera with me

and I didn't wanna miss him!
(I also didn't dare get too close!)

Denim Sunday

Sunday, Good friends, and denim!

Sam and Kori have been bestfriends

since kindergarten!

They came to our ward today for

a baby blessing and wouldn't you

know it....we all had our denim jackets on

and of course that calls for a picture!

 Love these girlies!

Photo Friday: City Landmark

This old Downey Theater

 

BaCk to ScHoOl

Its that time of year again and Im not gonna lie....

I LOVE BACK To SCHOOL!!

I have never been the momma that cries.

I don't think its insensitive....right?

Back to School Means:

A regular Schedule

Football

Earlier bed times

No more "mom Im bored" 

Dinners at an almost normal hour

TV is mine after 9

Don't get me wrong...I do love summers

but after 3 months....Im ready for normalcy

or in our families very busy lives

some normalcy =)

 

Mom would have been 65....

Today turned out to be harder than I thought

it was going to be.  As I was sitting at my computer

trying to get some pictures for Brooke to put

in the book for Grandma Great, Zaners was standing 

next to me and I said Moms name. 

Zane looked at me and said  "thats not grandma!"
Instant tears! For those of you

who remember how hard it was form me to

accept that I was pregnant with Zane....this was
one of the many reasons why.
I knew that he would never know her.
 I know what you are all thinking....he knew her
before he came here.  I know that

deep down...I really do.  It doesn't change how hard that

was to hear tonight.  He doesn't know her like my other

kids did and that makes my heart hurt.
It also made me realize that I only have one picture
of her in my home.  Shame on me!  I have now sent
some to costco to be printed! I will be sending some of
Grandpa Wilding too....I don't want my children to forget them!

A little fun on the 4th

There's nothing like a little fun

  at the lake. 

And the best part is

 they all walked away 

with HUGE smiles on their faces!

 Janet "oh...Oh..OH"
haha...couldn't stop 
laughing!

Elders...

We've had these two crazy missionaries

in our home several times a month over the 

last 6 to 8 months.  Elder Coggins came here sometime

around october and Elder Chernan came just

before Thanksgiving.  We have had many scriptures

read to us and many little spiritual lessons.

We have had nerf wars and kooshball wars,

we have had many meals and lots of laughs!

Elder Chernan left last week and will miss him tons! 

What faces do you make?

You should never
keep a straight face!

When in Idaho

there's nothing like a little pipe

moving to do some serious 

cousin bonding!

When you come to visit during

pipe moving season....

YOU move pipe!

Happy Momm's Day!

It doesn't get any better than this!

District Champs Baby!!

My how 12 years can fly by...
