Happy Birthday Zachary

My little guy turned 6 years old today. I can't believe my baby is 6 years old already. He is such a sweet boy and I am so lucky to be his Mom. He has had more then his fair share in his 6 years so far and he just keeps on going. He certainly knows how to keep Mom and Dad on their toes that's for sure. Every time we think we've got things figured out he just keeps on surprising us. Happy 6th Birthday Zach, We Love You!!!

Sweet 16..........

Today is our 16th wedding anniversary. Yes we have been married for 16 years. I can't believe it. Look at how young we were. It really doesn't seem that long ( well at least most days). I don't let Rich know enough that I appreciate everything that he does for us. I know that the road hasn't always been easy but I'm glad that I'm on this road with him. Thanks for putting up with me for all these years. ( Yes believe it or not I'm not always the easiest person to be married to) I love you and look forward to whatever the future brings. Thanks for the last 16 years.

Oh and look it's our Anniversary and were not in a Hospital. Must be a sign of good things to come. Don't you Think??

You Learned About What In Primary???

As we were leaving church yesterday I was talking to Emalee about Primary. I asked if she had fun and she said yes. So then I asked her if she learned anything?? At first she said no and then she says oh yeah I know what I learned today. So I say what was it ?? She looks straight at me and says we learned about prostitutes. I nearly died. I said you learned what and she said it again. I said are you sure that is what you learned about and she insists that's what they learned. So I decided to just stop by the Primary room on my way out and find out exactly what they could have possibly been teaching. So I run into her teacher from last year and I tell her what Emalee just said, she looked as shocked as me. Then she says to Emalee are you sure it wasn't apostasy. Emalee says oh yeah that's what it was and gives us a big smile. So I am really glad they didn't learn about prostitutes in primary and that Emalee just had the word wrong. Still not sure where she learned that word though. Thanks Angie for clearing things up for me. Only my kids would come up with that they learned about prostitution at church. HAHA.

Happy 13th B-Day Ryan

As of tomorrow we will officially have a teenager. I can't believe it. Ryan is growing up so fast. I can still remember the day I had him just like it was yesterday. Ryan is turning into a really nice young man and I am so PROUD of him. He is very responsible and very helpful with Emalee and Zach. I know I don't tell him nearly enough how much I appreciate the help that he gives me. So I just wanted to take a minute and let Ryan and everyone else know how happy I am that he is my son and that I love him. I will try to remember this when he is having one of his teenage moments, which are coming more and more frequently. I know he is a handsome kid but wasn't he a really cute baby!!! HAPPY 13th BIRTHDAY RYAN!!!!!

Way To Go Utah!!!

For Christmas this year my mom made all of us Utah Ute Pajama Pants. Even the dogs got neckerchiefs to wear on their collars. So in celebration of the Big Sugar Bowl Game we all put on PJ Pants and watched the game. The dogs wouldn't cooperate at all to get their picture taken and Rich said I could not post pictures of him in his PJ's. But here are the kids and they looked so cute. It was a great game and the kids loved having us all dressed alike. Way to go Utah!!!!!!!

Emalee's Christmas Recital

Emalee had her Christmas Recital on December 18th. She did such a good job. Her dad couldn't get over how much she has improved. Mostly it's just that she is more confident. I also danced but we will save everyone from having to experience that. Here is our little dancer.
