It was so fun to go to the Grand Canyon with Jaren Britt and there kids wow look at all those kids by that big drop off what were we thinking? the veiw was amazing!
we had a great time!

the Dam

We wanted to see the Dam up close and personal not just drive over it. it was worth it!

cave

on our way back from Utah. there was a cave in the side of the Mountain. it was really dark kevins camera flash lit the place up. all the rock glows in the dark it is cool.

Olivia

Olivia and Kayla are twins.

Kevin puts Olivia to sleep every time like this. We think it is so funny.

This is a younger Olivia But it is so cute!

even Olivia knows about boy cooties.

Abby loves to hold Olivia. we have had a blast with her these last eight weeks.

Texas

the day after I came home from the hospital with Olivia. Kevin came home from work, they let a bunch of people go. Now we have a job offer it is in Texas Huston. can anyone tell me about Huston I have never been there myself. I am so thankful for the church, and that I will be able to have friends no matter where I live.

Megan and Kayla just started school and Megan loves it, she is a social butterfly and has lots of friends. Kayla is not so excited about school, making friends doesn't come so easy for her. they are both sad to leave there friends and cousins. We have had so many new changes. it has been a crazy July for us.

every one I talk to says that I will love it in Huston. I hope I do because I am going to be along way away from family. I don't know when the time to move will come we still are waiting to hear back from the company for all the details. I do have the feeling everything will work out.

welcome Olivia

we love our new baby sister. we think she is the best baby ever.

Two weeks ago Kevin's dad past away. We loved him, and we will miss him, and all the things we did together. We also know that he is in a good place now and he has no pain. I bet he is meeting all those Ancestors he did genealogy for, and he is probably excited to get to know them. Now he has past all that good genealogy work that he has done down to us and we are now responsible for it. I am thankful that I could spend the last twelve years getting to know Kevin's dad and I want to remember all the things he did and said so I can tell my children story's about him.

Raising a boy!
Raising a boy is fun and a whole new experience for us. From the vary beginning he loved cars. I realized I needed to get him some, only after he started stealing the Polly pocket cars from the girls, and making them cry. On Sunday at church we happened to park our car by a really nice Corvette, it was yellow and Jaxon noticed it before anyone else. He just kept on saying yellow car cool car over and over again. then when he got out of the car he ran to it, and pointed right at it and kept saying "cooool car coool car". Kevin asked him if we should get one like that, and he said "yes". Now Kevin thinks he needs a car like that, because Jaxon will love it.
oh his favorite show on TV is overhauling. It is a show where they take old cars and give them a make over. He will sit through the whole thing.



Mothers Day
mothers day was great my girls spoiled me rotten. Megan was so excited to wake up and get me breakfast in bed that she was the first one up. I was greeted by her at 6:30 in the morning with eggs and toast. When I looked over to see if Kevin had helped her he was still in bed. The eggs were great Megan did a wonderful job! While I ate she gave me a awesome foot massage. when the others Kayla and Abby woke up, they showered me with cards and gifts and told me how much they loved me. Abby just wanted to keep giving me hugs and kisses. Kevin then got out of bed and went and started cleaning the house. And taking care of all the kids needs so that I did not have to worry. I felt so blessed and so loved. I thank my Heavenly Father every day for my Family. Being the Mom is not always the most fun, it is lots of work, and the work never seems to end, but it is the moments like these that make it all worth it!

I love these black and white pictures they turned out so cute!

Abby fell asleep this way outside. She was complaining of a stomach ache then she went outside and I found her like this. we found out today that she has Strep. poor girl!

we are having fun going to the mountains to climb around. it is so pretty in Arizona.

We are experimenting with the camera and light. Kevin made a beauty dish and this picture turned out so cute of Megan.

We went on a Hike and it was beautiful it was so fun to have my Dad with me They came to Arizona After Christmas. That was a blast just like old times My Dad always took me Hiking. Megan and Kayla loved going on that hike they were at the top before anyone. that was fun to see them going up the hill. the water was good to.

The snow in Sandy Utah was soooo fun!!!! The kids could not stay inside they came in wet we dried there cloths then they went right back out into it. they loved it.

I love the Arizona sunsets!

These are some cool night time pictures that we took in the last couple of days. We had some fun with jumping.
