Fun In The Mud!!!

I was having a relaxing Saturday which I don't get very often when Jody called me and asked me if I knew where my kids were. Without thinking I said of course they are playing out back like they always do. He kinda laugh and said well you might want to look outside, when he had said that I new something wasn't right and I didn't even want to get up to check it out. After my mom got up to see what was going on she couldn't stop laughing and told me not to get up!!! I knew that it couldn't be good so of course I got up to find Alexis, Jacob and Ammon diving and doing belly flops in a huge mud puddle. At this point I thought that they were already muddy so let them play for as long as they could. The thing that made me the maddest was Jacob and Alexis both had brand new shoes on go figure. I am still trying to soak the mud out of their clothes!!! I guess kids will be kids!



It took me scrubbing Alexis hair 5 times until all of the dirt was out.






Luckily my mom had a shower outside so they didn't track mud through the house.

Pumpkin Carving!!!

So we finally carved our pumpkins a couple days before Halloween but hey at least we did it. It has been pretty crazy around here but we are looking forward to Halloween. We still don't know what Jacob is going to be but Alexis is going to be Super Girl(go figure) and Makynna is going to be a little witch. I will post pictures of them all dressed up.

Catching Up!!!

Happy Birthday Alexis!!!

Alexis turned 5 years old yesterday. She has been talking about her birthday since Jacob had his Birthday in January. The one thing she had wanted to do was to go bowling so we went bowling with some of her close friends. 20 minutes into bowling the electricity went out and we had to open presents and eat cake waiting to see if it would come back on. After about 30 minutes and nothing happening we called it good and had to go home. Alexis was so sad and she still talks about doing it again. I found out yesterday that the electricity didn't come back on until midnight that night.

My Little Ballet Dancer!

Alexis took Ballet all year and at the end of the year they get to put on a little show. Alexis and her group were kitties as you can tell and it was the cutest thing I have ever seen. She loved getting all the attention for a couple of hours plus getting to put a little make-up on.

Catching Up!!!

Jared left on his mission July 5 to the Ogden, Utah Mission!!! We will miss you Harry!

Love Him!!!

It was a beautiful day in Humboldt County so my kids decided to wash my car. I caught Makynna playing the the water and loving every minute of it.





I don't know what it is about my kids but both Jacob and Alexis take my camera and take random pictures of themselves. I don't know were they learned it because I defiantly don't take pictures of myself.

beautiful Alexis!!!

So I thought these pictures were funny. It had been a long time since I post last so i will try to give a little update. Makynna is doing amazing she is a different baby, She is walking all over, she eats everything in sight and she is a much happier baby. We still have test upon test to come back but we couldn't be happier with the outcome so far. For those who don't know, on top of everything we are building a house and it is being drywall this week so it is going up fast. we are totally excited about it because it is everything we want.

We will miss you!!!

So my best friend in the whole world finally left. They had been talking about it for a long time and I knew it was coming but it happen not even a month after I got back from Stanford. Our family is so sad to not see them around anymore. My kids loved Ammon and Cohen and still they talk about them everyday. I know that its the best for them but we are sad. The good news is that we have to drive down to the bay area every three weeks so we will be able to see them every once in a awhile. We love you guys!!!

We Are Home!!!

We are finally Home!!! Sorry it has taking me so long to blog, it had been crazy getting back into the routine of everything. This is a picture of Makynna getting into the cupboards dumping out spaghetti noodles. Makynna is doing so good she is walking , talking and eating everything in sight. It is awesome. She is so much happier now that she feels better. We still have a long road but we are home for now!





My Grandma Helen came down to Stanford to see Makynna and I and theres not much we could do except be outside. My grandma once told me that she had always wanted to walk the Golden Gate Bridge and I thought it would be cool to take her there plus it was a beautiful day. I have pass by the bridge probably a thousand times and not once thought about walking it but I can say that it was pretty cool.






This is Little Teeg Man! He is getting cuter and cuter everyday!





My cousin Carrie gave Alexis these boots and I about died. She wouldn't take them off and she even asked me if she could wear them to church when I said no she got mad at me, Thanks Carrie!

So I had a hard time trying to post that last post for some reason I couldn't write underneath of it. So this is my brother Jared who went to Baja, Mexico with my Dad and a bunch of buddies to do a quad race that they hold there every year. I guess that it is a pretty big deal. I guess the race stretches over 200 miles, with each racer racing 50 miles and then switching riders so the next set takes on the next 50 miles and so forth. Well Jared and his buddies all arrived there in Mexico 2 days before the race so that they could practice there sections. Jared said that he had rode his section a couple times so he felt he knew it pretty well. When he came around that corner he new that there was water but it was dug out so that it was deeper. He totally didn't expect that. He said that the Mexicans dig holes and stand on the side lines to watch people wreck. He thinks that is what happen to his little hole that got bigger over night. Anyway he didn't even know that this guy had taped him until he went on youtube to look up some videos from the baja race a found this video of himself. I just thought it was funny know that it is all over and that he is okay.

WE ARE HOME!!!

Yes we finally made it home on my Birthday which is the best present ever. I can't find my camera to post pictures I am still trying to unpack 4 months of being away and having the holidays down there we have so much stuff. We got some devastating news on the Monday before we left, they told us that there is a 90% chance that we will have to redo the Bone Marrow Transplant. I was so excited to come home and then that. It sucks but I have to stay positive. Anything can happen right? Miracles happen everyday! Even if we have to do it all over again we will take the road when it comes, right now I am hanging out with my family trying to make up for lost time. Makynna is an amazing Little girl and she is doing so good.

Park!!!

The count down is on!!! We get to come home in 12 days!! Yes 12 days on my birthday March 27!!
