Becca's Room

2010-01-31T16:22:00.001-07:00

Here are some pictures of Becca's room. I painted it while she was gone to Florida.

Thanksgiving Pictures

2009-11-29T09:50:00.001-07:00

James, Brittany, Braeden, and Alexis

Jay...big bad man....NOT!

This was just the few people that hadn't left yet.
I think this was only about half the people that were actually there for dinner.

Becca......

Us.

Is Anyone Out There?

If you are still checking this website, please let me know by leaving a comment. I will start updating this site again if there is anyone actually looking at it.

Becca's Week at Camp

2009-07-25T18:59:00.004-06:00

Becca had a great time at camp. She went to a Girl Scout Camp for a week.

This picture is inside of her tent.

Here is where she slept for a week.
She went hiking in the mountains a couple of times.
This was the view.

A cute little chipmunk.

Becca and her camp counselor.

LADYBUGS!!! Kevin P would have loved this for his bug collection photos!

Becca went canoeing!

She also had a swim test.

The area closest to the bottom of the picture is where she had a Polar Bear Dip.

They jump in and run out because the water is cold!

Her camp is by the lake in the middle of the picture.

Little B by the lake.

Cutey! I love her new haircut!

Camping in the Mountains

2009-05-25T19:22:00.003-06:00

We had a great time on our first camping trip.

Becca created a very cute fire that burned great.

She really loved playing with fire...just like her mom! We went on a fun hike.

This is Becca's idea of camping.

The camper is nice and roomy for all of us.

Our cute camper. It can hold 2 four wheelers whenever we get them.

The front, back, and sides flip out for beds.

Bored

2009-04-21T10:00:00.002-06:00

I officially have NOTHING to do! I just finished my last assignment for my Master's class, I sent off my 25 page report to Japan yesterday, and Becca went to Florida for two weeks! I am out of school for 2 weeks! I have already bought paint to paint the last room that is white in the house. That will be a fun project.

The weather is great here, it is around 75 degrees. I might replant our garden since all our plants died when we had a surprise snow.

I am not a good stay at home person!

Becca's 9th Birthday

2009-04-10T07:45:00.003-06:00

Becca had her 9th birthday last weekend. She had a little party with her friends over. We were going to have the entire party outside but it decided to snow!

They had a donut eating contest in the garage.

Boy! She has a big mouth!
They had a little craft. That is Brayden, Becca's cousin, the only boy invited to the party.

The kids loved the foosball and air hockey in the basement.

Imagine 8 girls screaming! It was loud!

She is so cool. She danced and sang for herself for days!

The best $60 I ever spent

2009-03-29T16:20:00.003-06:00

I found a GREAT game for the Wii. It is called Outdoor Adventure. It comes with the mat the kids are standing on and has over 10 games for them to play. There is skateboarding, kayaking, rollerskating, jump roping, Wak-a-mole, and TONS more. They love it! It was only $60 at Walmart! I think it is a bargain for the amount of time they play it. Becca sweats everytime she plays it. You can have one or two players or you can have two playing together as a team. FUN! FUN!

The Basement is FINISHED!!!

2009-03-29T16:11:00.004-06:00

This is Korey and Kurtis's room. We went with a snowboarding theme. We are going to have Kevin P make up stickers with special names for the different ski runs.

This is Korey's headboard.

This is Kurtis's headboard.

Kevin and Kurtis designed and painted the snowboards.

They finally have their own bathroom!

This is Andrew's room. He loves skateboarding.

The poster are pictures of Andrew, we printed in black and white.

Boys and their toys

2009-02-25T20:28:00.002-07:00

It takes so little to make him happy.....

He is jackhammering the basement floor to move a pipe for the downstairs bathroom.

Kevin plans to have the bathroom done in about 2 weeks, tile floor and everything.

Key West FUN!

2009-02-25T19:59:00.004-07:00

Kendrick, 15 years old, 6 foot 6 inches, size 16 shoe! OMG!

We went to Key West for a long weekend when we were in Florida.

Kim and Domineco joined us and we had a GREAT time.

These were the pictures we could share.....

If you live in Florida and I didn't see you, I am sorry. We were only there for 11 days. We went to Key West for the weekend and we went to see Kevin P for a long weekend. I wanted to come by and see everyone at Skyline but our only "free" day in Cape Coral was the day of the Florida Writes test and I know how stressful that day is (well actually I am kind of forgetting since we don't give that test in Utah until 6th grade!).

Graduate school is going good. It is quite a bit of work, since I haven't went to school in quite a few years. (Wow, I feel old) But I am learning a lot, which surprises me because I thought I knew everything. (I am kidding, really.)

Long month

2009-02-02T12:08:00.004-07:00

I am sorry to everyone who keeps checking our website, waiting for an update.

We have had a busy January and I am glad it is over.

I started working towards my Master's degree, which means I am in school two nights a week, plus tons of reading and writing. I am very excited to get back into school, but there is quite an adjustment when I have been out of school for so long.

We were skiing every weekend until Kevin rolled down a double black diamond run

and hurt his shoulder. It isn't serious.

He didn't even know he hurt himself until that night when he couldn't fall asleep.

Becca got braces! I know it seems early. But I just took her in for a regular dentist and he suggested we visit an orthodontist (she only has 2 baby teeth left).

They said the earlier the better. She has had a pretty easy time. Not much pain.

We are going to Florida for 11 days so I have had to work ahead in my classes so I would have the stress of schoolwork while we are in Florida. I will update pictures sometime during our trip. We are leaving this Wednesday and going to Key West on Friday with Kim and Domineco. The following weekend we are going to visit Kevin in Gainesville and visit St. Augustine.

-6 degrees

2009-01-04T19:10:00.002-07:00

I know it sounds cold and actually it was but it was such a beautiful day. Not a cloud in the sky and the sun was shining. What more could you ask for?

We stayed on the Blue Square runs today.

All the kids did great but they were asleep as soon as we got in the car.

My dad asked what a Blue Square, Greens, Black Diamond was so I thought I should explain.

Greens are the easiest for beginners.

Blue Squares are a bit more steep and longer.

Black Diamonds are for people that really know what they are doing.

What a view!

Happy New Years!

2009-01-01T10:35:00.002-07:00

We had a "friendly" competition with the Air Hockey and Foosball game.

You can see, Kevin P, is slightly competitive.

Becca was the champion in Air Hockey.

Kevin P was the champion at Foosball.

Merry Christmas!

2008-12-30T08:43:00.008-07:00

James and Becca made a snow fort in the front yard.

Kevin P is in the very back with Korey right in front of him. Becca is over to the right. This is Becca and Korey's first time on a Blue Square run!

Korey

Sorry we haven't had a new post in a while. We have been very busy with the holidays. Kevin P flew in on the 19th, then we had James and his mom here on the 23rd. We went skiing/snowboarding with James. Becca taught him, well I should say, he taught himself. She really wasn't very patient with him. She showed him how to buckle his boot on the board and said, "OK. Let's get on the lift!"

Kevin is HOME!

2008-12-20T08:38:00.002-07:00

We picked him up at the airport at 3am last night.

He had a long day after flyng from Madrid to New York for 9 hours, then hovering over JFK airport for 1 1/2 hours. Followed by sitting at the JFK airport for 8 hours. Before flying out, he sat on the plane for over an hour. But he made it! He is happy to be home, speaking and hearing English. We are going skiing tomorrow, so we will post pictures tomorrow night.

Becca's Christmas Choir Program

2008-12-18T20:40:00.003-07:00

Becca is in the school choir. They had a Christmas performance tonight.

Here are a few pictures......

This is Mercedee from my class.

We thought they were cute, since their outfits are almost the same.

Becca is getting so tall. She is only in 3rd grade and Mercedee is in 4th grade.

Ski Utah! The Best Snow on Earth

2008-12-15T06:53:00.004-07:00

That is what the license plates say in Utah. I don't know about the rest of the world, but I can't imagine it being any better.

We had quite a snow storm here this weekend. We thought it would mess up our plans to go skiing/ snowboarding, but Sunday turned out to be BEAUTIFUL. Three feet of fresh new snow to ski on. This is the first time this season we haven't skied on man-made snow. It is quite different. More fluffy.

Becca is becoming quite the snowboarder. She went down the bigger lift after a small bribe of any dinner she wanted (she is so easy, she only wanted Subway). We went on that lift 6 more times. It is challenging to her, but she refuses to give up. We didn't take any pictures this time. We just wanted to enjoy the snow (sorry).

One funny story about Becca and the ski lift. She was scared that she was going to fall off the other side of the mountain at the top. I think that is normal for anyone who has never been up there. But the last time we went up, she never got off the lift! There is a little pile of snow and you are supposed to be ready and just slide right off. She said her feet never hit the ground so she started screaming. I thought she fell when she got off the lift and I turned around to check on her. She was still in the seat making the turn! Luckily, there is a man working the booth and he turned off the lift and had to go pick her up and get her out of the seat! She said, "Well at least I didn't fall!" I wish I had the camera.

Kevin P will be here this Friday and we are all going (Kevin, me, KevinP, Korey, Kurtis, Becca, and Andrew) skiing/snowboarding on Sunday. We plan to get a family picture (minus Heather, she doesn't like skiing) at the top of the mountain. We will take the camera for new pictures. All the kids have their own equipment for snowboarding. They can't wait to try it out. We gave it to them as an early Christmas present.

Becca has already used her new snowboard twice. She is ready to teach James when he gets here for Christmas. I can't wait to see him in the cold! The temperature was 8 degrees at the ski resort. Oh wait, James??? Are you reading this?? Maybe I meant 80 degrees. Honestly it isn't that bad if you have the correct clothing on.

More Snowboarding and Skiing

2008-12-08T16:45:00.005-07:00

We took Korey, Kurtis, and Andrew snowboarding. Everyone did a great job. Becca got to try out her new snowboard. I actually got my feet out of the wedge! YEH ME! It has taken me a LONG time to get this right. I just needed a little more practice.

Look at me! No wedge!!!

The boys, getting ready for their lessons.

Kevin is so cool!

Korey, waiting to get on the lift.

Kurtis on the ground....again. Actually, Kurtis likes falling. He was quite good at it.

Kurtis is in front and that is me in the red jacket. NO WEDGE! YEH ME!

Andrew was a natural. He loves skateboarding so we knew he would like this.

Kurtis is so cool! Look at that flying snow!

2008-12-06T20:39:00.001-07:00

GO GATORS!!!!!

Becca~our little Snowboarder!!

2008-11-30T17:59:00.005-07:00

Becca learned how to snowboard today.

She did great!

She is the one in the brown jacket with the blue snowpants.

Happy Thanksgiving

2008-11-28T08:29:00.004-07:00

We spent Thanksgiving with Kevin's cousins. We were at his cousin, Brett's house. They just moved in a week ago and their house is beautiful. In the picture below is Debbie (in the red), Mary (in the black), and the back of Kathy's head. All Kevin's cousins. Yes, he has a large family.

Jay is Kevin's CRAZY cousin, he is the one video taping. Kathy, his wife is next to him.

Brett is next to Kathy.

Boys and their toys.........

Jay making BIG biscuits loaded with butter. Kevin LOVED them!

Becca....I mean Miss Sheehan

2008-11-17T18:44:00.006-07:00

Becca taught my class Origami today.

She was a little nervous at first, but she had the doc cam and wireless microphone, so she was all set.

This is a good picture of the doc cam. You can see on the screen in the front of the room what she is doing at the back of the room.

My class loved it and actually told her she was going to fast.

As you can see, she got a little sassy towards the end.

I was obviously bothering her with the picture taking.

Lazy Sunday

2008-11-16T14:39:00.003-07:00

I am working on grades and Kevin is in bed, sick.

Becca is sitting outside with the dogs. She said she is acting like she is on a deserted island with just water, crackers, and dogfood. Our dogs are so good, they just sit there with her.

SNOW!

2008-11-05T10:04:00.002-07:00

Becca and Izzy loved the snow! Izzy cried at the door to go back outside.

We got quite a bit of snow but it should all melt and warm up tomorrow (high 50's).

Now what?

2008-11-04T17:29:00.005-07:00

I think the hardest thing about coming home from Japan is the slow paced life. I know I love it but it is so hard when you feel like you are running full speed ahead and suddenly you stop and change directions.

Luckily for me, I didn't have to go to school this week. We are off track right now and I have this week off. Then again it might have been nice to stay busy and return to school. I have enjoyed sleeping in and catching up on laundry. (Kevin somehow thought it was all done- he didn't see the 2 full baskets in the laundry room- imagine that!) I told him next time I am going to stay at a hotel until the laundry is finished.

Not much going on here except, SNOW! I will take a picture as soon as there is snow on the ground. Probably in the morning.

Becca is reading The Tales of Despereaux- it is coming to theaters on Christmas day. It is a wonderful story and I am sure it will be a great movie.

We had family and friends over on Saturday, everyone watched B while I was gone. I made Rebecca's famous Chicken Enchiladas. They were tasty. Everyone loved them. I gave everyone a calligraphy picture I made in my calligraphy class in Japan. It made it easier for me to leave my precious little daughter, knowing she was wanted in so many different places.

Thanks Amanda, Kurt, Brittany, James, Doris, Margaret, and Richard!

Dad and Linda Visit

2008-09-21T15:26:00.006-06:00

This was on our trip home from Park City... It was raining and the rocks looked beautiful. We pulled off the road to take some pictures. I think Kevin P will be impressed with this one.

Kevin and my dad decided to ride the Olympic Bobsled.

Becca wanted to try on a helmet.

They went 67.5 miles an hour.
Here they go!

This was at a lake by Brighton Ski Resort.

My dad and Linda FREEZING at Becca's soccer game.
The temperature around 55, with clouds, wind, and a slight bit of rain.

My dad and Linda came to visit us.

We took them to all the happening places in Utah.

Our Attempted Backyard Campout

2008-08-31T16:14:00.003-06:00

We set up our tent, ate our dutch oven dinner, sat around our fire pit, then took down the tent, cleaned up the sleeping bags, and went inside! I think our winds were over hurricane stregnth! Suddenly there was thunder and lightening. Luckily we were in our own backyard, so we didn't have far to go. It was a good thought!

Random Pictures.......

2008-08-30T09:17:00.004-06:00

Kevin patiently teaching Korey how to make a sushi roll.

Crazy kids, sitting in the middle of the street. Luckily, we live on a very quiet street.

Salon de Becca

Becca loves to turn the bathroom into a salon and wash her hair.

Max is eating a bone.

This is our new puppy, Isabella. She is a nice little puppy.

He made it!

2008-08-26T19:06:00.003-06:00

Kevin is officially "home" for the next 4 months.

He will post pictures, but as we all know, getting Kevin to give details is quite a chore. I will post information as he tells me things.....

He arrived in Spain this morning around 6:00 am my time, 1:00pm in Spain.

We learned a lot about traveling with his "cheap" flight from Paris to Madrid.

The plane ticket was only $100- BARGAIN! But the maximum weight on his

suitcases were 44 pounds, instead of the standard US 50 pounds.

So he had 2 suitcases overweight and had to paid for each kilogram he was over.

He said he had to pay an additional $300 to get his suitcases to Madrid! NOT GOOD!

But there was no other choice. He couldn't leave his things in Paris!

I guess we will have to learn some lessons the hard (and expensive) way.

But he is in Madrid and he is moved into his little, teeny apartment.

He has a shelf in the refrigerator for his food.

He has a dresser, desk, bed, and bathroom in his room.

He went grocery shopping with people from his building, no one from USA.

He ordered pizza and ate with everyone. I think it is a great experience for him.

I am very happy that he has such a wonderful opportunity.

He made it to Paris

2008-08-23T09:02:00.003-06:00

After a STRESSFUL day of wondering where in the world is Kevin P, we finally found out he made it to his hostel in Paris. Kevin Mc had to come home from work to call the hostel because we couldn't make international calls from work or from our cell phone.

He is having a great time and already had his first rush hour experience with 3 suitcases and a backpack on a subway with no escalators. Sounds GREAT!

He is exploring the city today and hopefully he will post some pictures soon.
He is going to visit the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum.
He said his room is TINY! But hey, it is cheap and no one else is sleeping in the same room.
He will be flying to Madrid on Tuesday morning.

I will try to keep the information up to date until he posts pictures and info on his blog.
I am so happy for him to be there, seeing things I have always wanted to see.

Bye Kevin P!!

2008-08-20T17:29:00.002-06:00

He is officially on his way to Spain. He flies to Atlanta tonight and flies to Paris tomorrow afternoon. He is spending 4 days in Paris (my dream vacation) then he will take the train to Madrid. I just want to be Kevin P. for one day. Is that too much to ask??

Hiking down Snowbird Ski Resort

2008-08-04T21:15:00.007-06:00

We had a great idea to hike down a ski slope.......it was a long 3 hour hike down. It was a beautiful walk but it is really hard on your legs, especially the last hour.

ANOTHER Vacation!

2008-08-04T20:09:00.004-06:00

We spent a week in Midway, Utah~thanks to Doris and Richard.

More Vacation Pics......

2008-07-17T07:30:00.006-06:00

Heather wanted a tattoo for her birthday so we all decided to join her.....

Kevin Mc's tattoo

This is my tattoo.....I got a jelly fish because it is the only thing I am afraid of in the water.

Heather's tattoo

Kevin P's tattoo....this is things from his Bucket List he has done already.

We were on top of Stone Mountain in Georgia. This is a HUGE storm coming in. It looks like a tidal wave.

How has the human race survived without computers?

2008-07-10T16:23:00.012-06:00

~All the kids and Kevin in Kelli's pool~

~Our Tennessee family~

~Kelli, Ali, Madi......Becca, Kevin, and me~

A forty year old man doing a back flip into the water........scary.

My computer is in BAD shape. James thinks it is the harddrive so I am waiting for a new disk to arrive and hopefully I didn't lose everything. Anyway I am going through computer/ internet withdrawls. I take care of so many things on the computer. I truly feel disconnected from the outside world. I am using Kevin's work computer today.

Tennessee

2008-07-05T20:01:00.002-06:00

We are visiting our family in Tennessee. The kids are having a great time swimming in Kelli's pool, competing in the annual 4th of July fishing tournament, visiting Burgess Falls, a pontoon boat ride, and a MEAN badmitton game (organized by Dylan).

I am having problems posting pictures....I will get them up asap.

Video Worth Watching

2008-06-29T13:28:00.001-06:00

Cute Video......Thanks for sharing, Tricia.

http://www.cyberthing.net/video-play.php?id=105

Computer Break Down

2008-06-25T16:04:00.002-06:00

Yes. My computer is D-E-A-D! James is working on sending me a disk to try to fix it so we will have to be patient and wait. I am sure the disk is in the mail.....

I am sorry I haven't posted any new pictures but our only working computer in the house is Becca's. NOT FUN! I will try to post pictures this weekend.

Happy Father's Day

2008-06-15T19:17:00.008-06:00

We took Kevin up into the mountains for Father's Day. We went on a 2 hour hike. You can see in one of the pictures, Becca almost didn't make it. She said she just wanted to live out there in the mountains because she didn't think she would make it back. It was quite a workout to carry a 65 pound girl up a steep incline! We had a great time. It is so cool up in the mountains, some of the snow hasn't even melted!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.

Hangin' Out in Florida

2008-06-03T12:23:00.007-06:00

Southernmost Point in the U.S.

Beautiful view from Key West

Kevin's first time driving a boat.
He did ok....I thought I was going to die, but I made it.

Don't EVEN try to kiss me after eating OYSTERS! YUCK!

OYSTERS! YUCK! I don't understand why people eat oysters.

Kevin fell into the boat when he was trying to fall into the water.

It was pretty funny.

I have been in Florida for a couple weeks.

Kevin, Kevin, and I went diving in the Keys and now I am staying with Kevin P in Gainesville. We have been BUSY cleaning up his first apartment,

since he will be moving out at the end of July.

I found a great website that offers layouts for our blogs!

Check it out! www.pyzam.com

Mud Pies.........

2008-05-11T16:32:00.003-06:00

Becca had a great time playing in the mud with a hose.

Little Mermaid's Adventures with Pirates of the Caribbean

2008-05-04T16:47:00.012-06:00

Becca, Korey, and Kurtis have been in a program for the last 8 months that involves singing, dancing, and acting. They had their final production this weekend and it was AMAZING! Here are a few pictures from the play.

Family Photos

2008-05-04T16:29:00.004-06:00

Kevin was here for Becca's play, so we thought it was a great time to update the family photos.

Little B wants to play the T-R-U-M-P-E-T!!

2008-04-07T09:03:00.001-06:00

Happy Birthday Becca!

2008-04-06T09:04:00.004-06:00

Becca had a great day. She had a High School Musical Birthday Party with 10 of her closest friends. They sang kareoke, went on a scavenger hunt, played games, and made necklaces. Needless to say, I was worn out by the end of the party. Luckily, Heather was there to help me.

The Best Snow on Earth!

2008-03-10T20:36:00.003-06:00

Kevin really wanted to jump a hill. He started getting good at it with a couple of tries.

Kevin P came to see us for Spring Break. We went skiing the first two days he was here. We had a great time. Kevin and Kevin got really good at skiing. I am still a little sketchy but I am holding my own. Skiing is great excercise! At the end of this week, we are going scuba diving in a local crater.

More and More SNOW!

2008-02-14T20:35:00.002-07:00

Happy 40th Kevin!!!!

2008-02-14T20:27:00.002-07:00

We had a surprise party for Kevin. He turned 40 last Saturday.

He just got SCUBA certified so we had his party on Sunday.

SNOW! SNOW! We LOVE Snow!

2008-02-14T20:20:00.003-07:00

Kelsey and Becca sledding in the front yard........
Becca and Kelsey eating flavored snow. Yes, they are licking the snow.

Kelsey had some snowcone flavoring and they got the great idea to put some on the snow!

Becca is truly enjoying the snowy weather...........

Becca receiving an award at school

2008-01-31T20:15:00.000-07:00

This is one of Becca's best friends, Sarah.

Principal's Pride is an award given by teacher's each month to recognize students for outstanding behavior or academic progress. Becca's teacher gave her the award for always being helpful and kind to her classmates. YEAH B!

What do you mean this ain't FLORIDA?!?!!

2008-01-31T20:12:00.000-07:00

I just love the look on Kevin's face here.

I had to take a picture of him shoveling the driveway in SHORTS!

People are crazy here!

They think 30 degrees is WARM!!!

SNOW FUN!

2008-01-06T15:43:00.000-07:00

This was at our neighborhood park.

Becca loves sledding with her friend Savannah and Savannah's little brother, Owen.

Becca's New Room

2008-01-01T15:04:00.000-07:00

We decorated Becca's room for Christmas. It was like a While You Were Out episode! The room is adorable and she LOVES it!

Merry Christmas!

2007-12-25T17:28:00.000-07:00

We had a great Christmas. TONS of snow outside and a wonderful dinner inside. Richard, Doris and her mom came over to eat with us. The kids loved opening all their gifts. Just one missing person.......Becca Lee. She is in Florida with her dad. She will be back on New Year's Eve.

The Greatest Snow on Earth.......UTAH!

2007-12-20T19:18:00.001-07:00

Heather, Kevin, Monica, Kevin P
Kevin P skiing for the first time. He, of course, was a natural.
Heather and me (I am in the red jacket).
I am taking a little break.......I took a lot of breaks!
Kevin P, Monica, Kevin.......we were on our way to the big one!

We went skiing today for our first time.

Kevin P is here visiting and all he wanted for Christmas is go skiing.

Kevin, Kevin, Heather and I went to Ski School. GREAT IDEA Kevin P!!!!

We learned so much and ACTUALLY skied!

Falling wasn't very much fun but I am sure with time we will get better.

White Trash is a YUMMY Christmas treat created by my WONDERFUL aunt Kim.

The Polar Express

2007-12-11T07:19:00.000-07:00

We went on a wonderful train ride to the North Pole!

We had cookies and hot chocolate as we sang

Christmas Carols on our way to the North Pole.

When we got there, Santa joined us and gave

EVERY child the first gift of Christmas.

By the way.....it was 17 degrees! COLD!

Gingerbread Houses

2007-12-11T07:12:00.001-07:00

I had to put this one on the website.....she has her tongue out! Just like her Grampy!
This is tough work!

Becca built her first Gingerbread House.

She had a lot of help from Kevin and Heather.

She has eaten quite a bit of her house already!

Shoveling FUN!

2007-12-08T08:56:00.000-07:00

I got to shovel the driveway and the sidewalks today. It was quite a workout! Kevin took pictures of me while I worked! Thanks Kevin!

2007-12-01T10:12:00.000-07:00

SNOW! SNOW! SNOW! We have TONS OF SNOW!

Kevin had to buy a shovel.

Poor little Max doesn't know what to think about this.

He is having a hard time adjusting.

Our Christmas Tree

2007-11-24T12:12:00.000-07:00

We found a Christmas Tree Farm. We searched and searched for the perfect tree and we found it! Kevin cut it down and we brought it home on the top of the car. It is HUGE! It seemed so small out there in the forest of trees. It is a beautiful tree and we plan to make this a family tradition.

Fall Fun!

2007-11-11T10:41:00.000-07:00

We had a nice day and we took the kids to the park for a picnic.

The weather was PERFECT for a day a the park- it was about 70 degrees.

Halloween

2007-11-03T18:03:00.000-06:00

Becca was a pirate for Halloween. She, of course, got tons of candy.

We also went to a fun little place to shop called Gardener Village. They decorate the area with witches around Halloween.

Halloween Fun!

2007-10-28T18:50:00.000-06:00

We had tons of fun carving pumpkins! Pumpkins are CHEAP here! I had sticker shock when I paid $4.00 a pumpkin!

2007-10-21T08:23:00.000-06:00

It is snowing! We woke up to a beautiful blanket of white snow! We bought a jacket for Max to stay warm. He really needs it! Becca loves the snow. She quickly figured out she needed to cover her precious little legs. She got cold! Imagine that!

2007-10-20T20:39:00.001-06:00

IT IS FREEZING HERE!

2007-10-19T06:47:00.001-06:00

We are FREEZING here! Temperatures get down into the 30's at night! That is actually ICE on the windshield! This weekend they are predicting snow that sticks! I will take pictures if we actually get some this time.

Finally.....An Update!

2007-09-30T18:30:00.000-06:00

Thank you to everyone who is still checking our website. I am sorry we haven't updated it in a while, but I have been very busy starting the new school year. I PROMISE to do better from now on.

We just got back from a 2 week visit in Florida. Got to see Kevin's apartment in Gainesville. Let's just say M-E-S-S! But we all know that is Kevin! Right? He is doing very well on his own, but he SEEMED to be happy to have me stay for a few days. I think he liked eating out at all the fancy restaurants.

Anyway....back in Utah....I go back to school tomorrow after a nice 3 week break. We will have a 9 week session and then off for 5 weeks! School is going good and I LOVE the year round school. We actually had snow yesterday! I couldn't quite get a good picture of it, not much there. But today we went up into the mountains to see all the trees changing colors. It was beautiful! We had a nice little picnic with the kids and took tons of pictures. Hope you enjoy!

Kevin starts college this week!

2007-08-19T16:05:00.000-06:00

I can't believe he is really starting college. I asked him to take a picture of his first day, just like I did on his first day of Kindergarten. We will see if he actually does it for me.......I won't hold my breath.
We are all very proud of him and his accomplishments. I know he will have many more opportunities for us to be proud of him. I am so glad that he has grown up to be such a responsible young man.
I will try to do better posting pictures. I have been extremely busy starting a new school year. We have already been in school for 3 weeks! FUN! FUN! I have a great class, so that makes everything easier.
