4th of July

This year my mama turns an amazing and beautiful 72! 

Dad an mom are celebrating 54 years of marriage.  I am so amazed how time passes in our lives so quickly.  These 2 people have been on an incredible journey of life, they live to the fullest and just keep on living a life full of adventures with family, old friends and new friends. We all had such a fun evening hanging out with them. 

Life has so much to offer, I hope that I will follow in there footsteps and really really live my life. They are an amazing example to me as we'll as there grand kids.  I love you 2, Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday!

Beautiful Pocatello, wonderful bike ride along the greenway,

Cedar played volleyball this year and went from petrified to pretty awesome in just the month and a half they played.  She has an amazing serve if she can get it consistent she will be a killer!

State tourn I love these boys!

Pretty rough soccer season, adjusting to new coach and big changes made it hard for us to get to where we could be this year. Oakley had some awesome games and was so great to watch him.

Cousins headed to pebble creek on Super Bowl Sunday

My home..

Over the last few months we have done some amazing things to our house. We haven't spent very much money and have used stuff we have around to make the walls amazing we have gotten mistinted paint from sherwin Williams spending about $10 total on 5 gallons of paint. We used our boxes we moved with into some awesome art for the walls, very unique , my neighbor put in a dog door just for the price of lunch and a beer and then added a gate to the back yard. That will keep the dogs safely in the back. Then to add to all of that he had some Acacia hand scraped hardwood just sitting at his house an he put it in down in Oakleys room, it looks so beautiful and it surely worth so much more than I would have ever been able to spend. I will post pictures soon. Life is pretty incredible and there are so many people and things that I am very lucky to have in my life! Pretty great start to 2013💜

Birthday cake a day late...

We missed out on birthday celebrating on the 15th because Oakley has a soccer tournament in Idaho falls this week they won the first game and beat a team that was undefeated pretty nice birthday for him to get to play soccer and win the game. We love you oaks

Oakley is 15 today ....,,

What an amazing age, I know everyone says this but these 15 years seem to have flown by, like one minute I am talking about knights and dinosaurs and suddenly I am with a grown up boy. Oakley is someone who I am amazed by he has a cool head, he is so smart and he has some super amazing skills at communicating and having compassion I love everything about him and am so lucky he is my son! Happy 15th kiddo

Wish we could have a snow day

Christmas cheer, cedar is beautiful

Monday

There are so many people who are your friends who think they can help you with your life, who have no idea who you really are or what kind of person you are, there is know way friends can really grasp your relationships with other people that you love. We need to take what they say as loving caring advise but always be true to yourself and your true relationship and love for the person your friends think that they know and understand.

Almost Christmas ....

I am sitting here so sad about shootings on Friday feeling so thankful for my family and friends lives, everything is so fragile, it's scary.
It is getting close to the end of a very challenging year and I am hoping the future and coming year will be kinder ❤

Thanksgiving day!

We had an awesome day with Dave & Jill and family. We felt so at home, it was the perfect day.... Great company people and food

Cedar is finally home.....haven't seen her all weekend. Birthday party and then to Twin with Keely

Walk with pat and the dogs Sunday morning

The competition is on.....we love this game!

I am trying out blogging from my phone....I am hoping this will help me stay more up to date

Nice Sunday Afternoon...

I am just reminding myself how much I love to post to this blog.  It has been a long time and I am sad I haven't kept it up, at least each month,  well I hope I can start here again and be more on top of it.  We definatly have a lot of stuff for me to document and without making a few notes about it, my mind just lets it all go.  I can hardly remember what I did the day before.  Time is so crazy, as Oakley and Cedar keep getting older faster and faster I feel like it is all a blur. 
I have such a huge list of all the people I want to contact, things I want to accomplish, crafts i want to make, and on and on and on.  I guess just this one little post is a tiny little thing I can say I finally did.  Hope to continue to post.........we will see!

Smoke meeting his son, and little Cash's new family here to take him home!
