Baseball

 Baseball was all we did this spring. Having three boys so close in age really made our lives crazy! The boys did awesome and Ivy was not complaining about getting a snow cone every game.

I'm Back.. Catch up time.

 Thats right, I am back to the blogging world I have a bit of catching up to do so bear with me please. These were taken last January. The kids were getting pretty good at Snowboarding.. Lets hope they remember it this year.

The best and funniest Christmas pagent ever..

Our makeshift last minute reenactment of the Christmas story was a hit.

Longest 6 months of my life!

After 6 months of living 1,500 miles apart I was able to head to Alabama and bring Russ back home! We had a great trip just the two of us we went through 9 states in 2 1/2 days; AL,MS,AR,TN,OK,TX,NM,CO,UT. The kids are SOO excited to have him home again! Now that he is back I sit and think how did I do it alone for that long?? I know we were all blessed and are just happy it is over!

Merry Christmas!

Hope You all have a very Merry Christmas!!!

Halloween...

This is what I am up against this year..

Sported out!

I am officially sported out.. Practices or games everyday of the week and on weekends is about to due me in.. The kids are thriving and loving every second of it so that makes it all worth while. I on the other hand need a day at the spa..

Picnicking

Today was a perfect day to have a picnic with the kids at the park. No school. Just me and my four kids alone. It was heaven. I am not ready for winter yet..

River Rampage Tri

Russ and some of his siblings competed in the Green River Rampage Triathlon a few weeks ago. It was so inspiring to watch. I really think I should start training now for the one next year. Russ placed 3rd in his division. Pretty awesome!

New school again...

I am amazed at how resilient my kids are. I can't count how many schools/states they have moved too and from and they still pick right up and don't complain about another year of a new school/ new friends etc.. They have each other and that is all they need..


































Kanyon 7th grade (Jr. High) I don't know how I feel about having a kid in Jr. High but thankfully Kanyon is the sweetest 7th grader I know. He is playing on the Jr High football team this year.. He is also playing the Saxophone again. He is growing up way too fast.





















Saul 6th grade. He is such a smart kid; to date he has read the Harry Potter series NINE times. He is playing football through the city and loves it.






















Eli 3rd grade. Eli is a fun loving and sensitive kid. He lights up the place around here.


Watch out girls! The Beecher brothers just moved ta town!!!

West

I love that we have moved back west. We have missed the Mountains so much over the past 10 years we have been away. A few weeks ago we went to one of our favorite places in UT. Moab. We went hiking, rappelling, river rafting, swimming and spent lots of quality family time together. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place!
