Just Plain Bragging!

Tanshyle made the mistake of posting a link to our family blog. Since no one reads our blog usually I am going to take this opportunity to brag about her.
I am so proud of her. Not just proud, truly amazed at the person she is. She is a wonderful mother and wife. Tanshyle is also an incredible student. She is going to graduate in December with a degree in Economics. I don't know how to say it in Latin (cu ma cum something) but she will graduate with honors.
All of these things make me wonder if she is really my daughter. I have battled my weight most of my life. We are shopping on Monday and she holds up a size 4 pant she is going to try on. I tell her Tanshyle you could wrap them around you. She says mom I had a baby 9 months ago I can't wear a size 2. So she goes in the dressing room and tries on the two. Too Big! I bring her a size 0. FITS! Easily!
Like I say amazing! I usually don't brag about my kids. I have found as soon as you do they make you look stupid. Since Tanshyle is 22 years old I am hoping she is passed that. Knock on wood!

Homecoming 2009

Tevyn literally just walked out the door. But, she looked so pretty I couldn't wait to blog about her.

We tried to take her to an old house to get nice pictures of her, but she wasn't about to cooperate with us.

Enjoy!

Gardner Village!

We all went to Gardner Village for the Wee-Witches Weekend! We had a lot of fun. We bought fudge, looked through all the shoppes, met the witches and even took a hayride to their house! Here are some pictures of our day!

A lot of people wore witch costumes. We didn't, but McCoy decided to participate in the costume parade anyway.

Apparently Holynd was off shopping during this picture!

Tevyn Gets Asked to Homecoming!

This is Tevyn. Tevyn got asked to the Salem Hills Homecoming. She is very excited and has a very beautiful dress for this year's dance! Stay tuned for pictures from Homecoming night!

Tevyn's dates name was in the pinata! She had to break it open and go through all the candy in order to find out who it was! She had a whole tub full of treats afterward!

Yay for Twitch!

Yes I Am A Slacker Blogger!

Busy,Busy,Busy! The summer went by way too fast. Isaac did swimming lessons. More trips to Seven Peaks and Keith and the kids went to Lagoon. Tierra celebrated her 19th Birthday. We had so much fun. She chose Indian Food. A new experience for Tanshyle and me. It's hard to believe she is that old. School started! I have empty nest syndrome. All my children are in school full time now. So that's my slacker update.

Seven Peaks Trip!

We went to Seven Peaks on the Fourth of July!

The boys had a blast and Isaac even dared to slide down the Freefall Slide twice!

Holynd surprised us all being quite the little swimmer!

Zoo Trip!

Holynd in her floppy hat! You got to love it!


Holynd as a turtle! Pretty darn cute.



Isaac went down this slide at least forty times!




Now Isaac as a turtle! McCoy is a little bored with this!





Isaac would not put his head in the lions mouth to get a drink, but brave McCoy would.






McCoy giving a bug a "big bug hug".

Everyone on the merry-go-round!
