Golf Lessons

I still have not yet figured out how it is that Barry has the patience to give some little golf lessons to a 3 year old but not to me?? Hmmmm oh well:)

Go Jazz!!

Barry, Brenden and I were able to go to a Jazz game and meet up with our friends Blake and John and Mikelle. Brenden and I got into the arena early and watched warm ups! We were able to get an autograph of a new player (brain freeze-I can't remember his name) and I just missed getting Korver's autograph (sigh) :) Anyway, I love my husband, brother and friends and I am glad I got to hang out with them!!!

We had a wonderful day for Ashlynn's Birthday. We went over to Boise and went to monkey business. We went to build a bear and mcdonalds. We had a party with all of our best friends. I love this girl. I can not express how sweet, nice, kind, thoughtful, funny, loving and smart she is. She is a princess. She loves princesses, she loves her brother. She is a joy to have in our family!

Huddy's First Haircut

A friend to remember

One of Barry's friends (P.D.) passed away from a battle of Leukemia. We were able to go up to SLC for the funeral and spend time with some of our friends. It's times such as these that remind me how fragile life is. It has made Barry and I want to be the best people that we can be and cherish all of the time that we are given here on this earth with our family and friends.

Little Ones

Ashlynn and Hudson are the best. I love the little things the say and do each day. I hope to remember all and want to do much better at recording them.

Ashlynn: "Mom, it's such a wonderful day to come to the zoo." "Mom look at these new shoes, they make me run so very very fast, want to race." "Hey lady, I love worms, but my mom doesn't she thinks they are disgusting." In her prayers "Pray grandpa will take me to get a snushie (slushy)." "Mom I'm not Ashlynn I'm Cinderella, and this (Hudson) is Prince Charming."

Hudson: "Sissy" "Sit down." While chasing the cat that is terrified of him, "no kitty kitty no."

Whirlwind

I realize I have not posted for quite a while. I do have pictures of all of the events over the last few months but have not had time to blog about them or post them but I will give a quick summary.

Ashlynn: Celebrated her 3rd birthday. This sweet girl continues to amaze me. She is such a sweet, outgoing little girl. She loves to make friends and she always makes everyone feel so included and loved. We recently took her to Disneyland. She fell in love with all of the characters there. She got to participate in all of the parades and eat a special lunch with the Disney Princesses. She did not care for the rides. She has learned how to ride and steer her little bike. She loves to pretend she is a princess, mommy, or a babysitter. Her pretend play skills are really developing and it is soooo fun to watch her play. I love this little girl.

Hudson: (16 Months)Is doing so much better. He no longer follows me around crying all day wanting to be held. He is only taking his binki at night. He loves his big sister and tries to do everything that she does. He climbs on everything!! Has no fear, and I'm afraid is really going to get hurt one of these days. His vocabulary is exploding. he loves balls, has a good arm and is able to catch a large ball. He is getting more friendly and is not quite as shy as he was before. He loves to be read to, dances to music and loves to chase and shoot at animals (with his finger). I love this little boy.

Barry and Des: We recently packed up our bags from Idaho and moved to Nevada. Barry is working at an office there and thankfully is really busy lately. He is enjoying work. The kids and I have not yet moved down to Spring Creek. We have been staying with Barry and my parents on a long vacation while Barry gets work settled and while we find where we want to live. Life is good. We are continually grateful for all of the blessings that we have in our lives. More news to come as time permits!
