Alex's 16th Birthday! Kate's 1st day of Pre-School 2010

More of Destin

2010-06-04T22:14:00.004-04:00

We spent a lot of time at the beach! We had to go to the pool as well. Hunter and Kate found lots of sea creatures.

Destin

2010-06-04T21:56:00.003-04:00

Alex, Hunter, Kate and I got to go to Destin for a few days. The kids had a great time. Alex at the beach, Hunter making sandcastles and Kate(her goggles didn't have a strap so she would suction to her mouth and nose. I have no clue how she could breath.)

Time for a break!

2009-12-30T22:50:00.003-05:00

I am giving up on blogging for a while. It's so much easier to post pics and info on Facebook. So look for me on there with pics and all.

Hunter's Annual Thanksgiving Feast

2009-11-22T16:17:00.003-05:00

Every year as far back I can remember my Mom and I have the opportunity to eat at school for a Thanksgiving Feast. It started with Alex and now Hunter is the only one left at Huddleston. We made the mistake of eating the actual food one time. We brought other lunches since then. Fun time!

Kate's First Thanksgiving Feast

2009-11-22T16:13:00.003-05:00

My Mom and I got to go to Kate's Thanksgiving Feast. They are such cute kids. It was fun to be a part of it. Next, Hunter's Feast

Brooke is 12!

2009-11-22T16:06:00.003-05:00

I can't believe Brooke is 12. She was so excited today to go into Young Women's. She said, "No offense Mom but Young Women's is much better." Little does she realize we have to teach children with a wide range of age. I know she will grow so much spiritually. She got some fun gifts.

Time for Carving!

2009-10-27T10:20:00.001-04:00

The kids always have a great time carving their pumpkins. Brooke - Jonas, Alex- Jester, Hunter - bats, and Kate had doggie faces all around hers.

Trunk or Treat!

Dollywood in the Fall!

2009-10-27T10:05:00.003-04:00

In October Dollywood is usually very nice and beautiful. It was quite chilly and rainy but we had a great time. We got to go on all the rides a ton. We love going and can't wait to go back for Spring Break.

Kate's Pumpkin Patch day

2009-10-27T10:01:00.001-04:00

She and her class got to play a couple of games, listen to a story and pick a pumpkin. She loved it.

I made this for dinner and this for dessert!

2009-09-27T20:48:00.002-04:00

I made this yummy parmesan chicken. It was a recipe from Family Circle. So easy and really good tasting. I got this dessert recipe from my little Kroger coupon booklet that came in the mail last week. Yummy! Both were really easy to make.

Goodie bag

2009-09-27T20:29:00.001-04:00

I made this for Kate's class. They are goodie bags for her classmates. They were easy to make.

Water-Skiing kids

2009-09-27T20:20:00.003-04:00

Hunter attempting to water ski, he is getting the hang of it. Brooke stayed up for a while and so did Alex. Alex did take some good falls.

What? Grandpa let you drive his Corvette?

2009-09-02T15:32:00.002-04:00

Grandpa was very brave in letting Alex drive his Corvette. He enjoyed driving around. Grandpa was actually the first brave one to let Alex drive. He drove his van. He is getting better each time.

Happy 15th Alex!

2009-09-02T15:29:00.003-04:00

Alex turned 15 on Aug. 13th and that means 2 things - He now can drive the golf cart on his own and he gets a permit. He takes the golf cart to seminary and to school. He loves his freedom. He has also driven the car a few times. That will take lots of practice.

First day back to School

2009-09-02T14:38:00.000-04:00

Alex, Brooke and Hunter went back to school on Aug. 10th. Kate went to her first day of school on Aug. 24th. I think the kids are liking school. Kate loves hers and asks everyday if she is going to school. She goes 2 days a week.

Whitewater rafting down the Snake River

2009-08-11T09:44:00.001-04:00

Alex - No more fun

2009-06-23T15:53:00.004-04:00

We arrived at the beach on Sat. afternoon. Alex enjoyed skim boarding and playing in the water until Tues. afternoon when he fell skim boarding. Jeff took him to a "stand-alone" ER and they gave him a splint. They didn't have casting stuff. So he got pity from the girls at the beach. He came home Sat. and on Mon. Jeff took him to get his cast. He will wear it for 2 weeks and then go back to a splint. Unfortunately, he will miss river rafting here but will hopefully be able to go in Wy and ride 4 wheelers carefully. Least it's not the whole summer.

Memory Lane - Hunter's Birthday

2009-06-12T17:19:00.000-04:00

Happy Happy Birthday Hunter!

2009-06-12T17:07:00.003-04:00

Happy Birthday Hunter! I remember back at his birth . . . It was Memorial Weekend and I had to go to the hospital and have my contractions stopped. I was there 2-3 days on magnesium. He wasn't due until July 4th. They sent me home with a pill I had to take every 4 hours so that I wouldn't go into labor. I took my last pill on June 11th. That Mon. I went to Target with Brooke and got some things we needed "nesting" and on the way home I was feeling contractions. We got up to the hospital, broke my water and delivered him within 2 hours after arriving. He could not wait to get into this world. He is a joy to have in our family. I can't believe that he is 9. Time goes by so fast.

Garden Update

2009-06-07T14:32:00.003-04:00

Okay, I have been checking our garden every couple of days. Wow, these veggies are growing fast. The first thing I picked was a green pepper. It was yummy in dinner the other night. I went back today and had all these to pick. 2 of the zuchinni are 9 inches long. Can't wait to eat them.

Hunter's last day of 3rd grade

2009-06-01T10:10:00.002-04:00

Hunter had an awesome teacher this year. We loved Mrs. Olander. He really enjoyed this year

Jeff's Trip to Wichita, KS

2009-06-01T10:01:00.001-04:00

Jeff and the rest of his family went to Wichita, KS for his little bro's graduation from college. They all had a great time together.

Brooke's last chorus concert at Huddleston Elem.

2009-06-01T09:59:00.001-04:00

This was Brooke's last concert ever at Huddleston Elem.

Primary Temple Trip

2009-06-01T09:54:00.001-04:00

This is up at the Atlanta Temple. We went up there for a primary activity. It was great.

Who needs snow to go sledding!

2009-04-29T10:23:00.002-04:00

Over by Huddleston Pond there is a hill that the kids have found. They have taken boxes and go sledding down the hill. We have been there everynight since. They have a blast. Even Kate loves to go down.

Garden Plot

2009-04-29T10:06:00.002-04:00

Here is our garden plot. We planted mainly by seeds. We did plant tomato plants and pepper plants. They tend to grow better by having a plant. We have carrots,peas,beans,watermelon,cantaloupe,peppers,tomatoes,onions, cucumbers and spaghetti squash. I also am planting a few things at home in containers. They all are starting to sprout. We hope we get to eat from these this summer.

Mink Gobbles

2009-04-29T10:04:00.003-04:00

I had to post this of Kate. She loves to swim and had to have "mink gobbles" for her eyes. This is while we were at Pigeon Forge. She is a crack-up

Easter Sunday

2009-04-29T09:57:00.002-04:00

Wow! Catch-up is not fun!

2009-04-12T22:25:00.001-04:00

I think this is my final entry of playing catch-up. It's not fun or easy to have to catch up. We end this blog with Dollywood and will post Easter in a few days.

All my little fishies!

2009-04-12T22:16:00.002-04:00

My kids love pools, so whenever we stay somewhere we make sure there is a pool. They can swim and play for hours. Kate has just realized how much she loves to swim. In our hot tub she would jump and try to swim underwater. When we got to the hotel all she wanted to do is swim. She did awesome. She can swim underwater and loves to jump in. The kids were able to swim with some of Brooke's friends from school that happened to be at the same hotel. They had great fun!

Dollywood

2009-04-12T22:07:00.004-04:00

We get to Dollywood on Thursday morning just as they open and we are waiting to go up the hill to the rollercoasters and someone bumps into Jeff. Lo and behold, it's Ben Johnson and his boys. His family came up to Pigeon Forge for a few days and decided to try Dollywood. We all stayed together for the rest of the day and I think fun was had by all. Brooke and Hunter beat their fears and went on all the roller coasters. Hunter and Kimball got soaked on "River battle". They waddled around wet for quite a while. At first Kate wouldn't go on much, she made me sit in the same seat with her in the "Pig ride". Needless to say, I fit but very very uncomfortable. They rest of the time we were there she went on all the kid rides with Alex. She loved them.

Mayfield here we come!

2009-04-12T22:03:00.001-04:00

On our way to Pigeon Forge we stopped at Mayfield Dairy and had ourselves some delicious ice cream and for super cheap.

Kate's first dentist visit

2009-04-12T21:58:00.002-04:00

Kate turned 3 so it was time ti see the dentist. She has been many times with the kids but now it was her time. She would not lie down for them. The dentist assistant was so good with her. They just cleaned her teeth with a normal toothbrush and showed her the cleaning tools that would be used next time. She did a great job and she has great teeth. Yay!

Snails, worms and more

2009-04-12T21:55:00.001-04:00

After all this rain we have had Kate and Hunter have been on the search for worms and more. One day Hunter came across a snail. He was kinda cute. I wouldn't dare touch him though!

Bakerella I am not!

2009-04-12T21:51:00.001-04:00

I tried to make Bakerella's cute pops. She does an amazing job. She makes the chocolate so smooth. They did taste great.

Happy Birthday Kate!

2009-04-12T21:40:00.003-04:00

On March 28th Kate celebrated her 3rd birthday. She at first didn't want a cake or presents. Once she saw her presents she was happy. Can't believe that she is 3. She was born about 3 weeks early. She couldn't wait to get here. She is spoiled. She attached to Alex immediately and loves him to death. It's been fun for us all to raise her.

The Power of Dawn

2009-04-06T22:20:00.003-04:00

The blue bottle of "Dawn" does amazing things for clothes. Try putting some on a stain of a grease mark, mac n chs, you name it and it takes the stain out. I have bought Shout, Zout, you name it and I can never get out the stains. Try it next time on your dirty clothes. It is great! Do I sound like an infomercial? Really it works.

Counsel from Conference

2009-04-05T17:57:00.003-04:00

Wow! You always wonder if conference can get any better and then it does. There were so many great talks given. Some of my favorite quotes "you are never lost if you can see the Temple" "Be of good cheer, face life's unexpected challenges" "Be of one heart and one mind in our families" "be fixed in your purpose"

New Moon - Can you handle it?

2009-03-30T19:27:00.002-04:00

Got Crabs?

2009-03-25T20:25:00.003-04:00

Okay, so my family knows that one of my favorite foods is crab legs, and I can eat and eat. Well, "Big Daddy's Oyster Bar" in PTC on Weds. has all you can eat crab legs. Jeff and I got there about 6 and our food came out about 6:15. I left just before 8 pm. I ate and ate and ate. Jeff had to leave at about 6:40 due to work. I sat there all by myself eating leg after leg after leg. I think the 2 guys diagonal from us were shocked at how much I could put down. I probably had anywhere from 24-30 legs plus all that yummy meat in the white part. I wanted to take a pic but Jeff was embarrassed to take one. I was in heaven!!!

Snow= Hot tub

2009-03-02T14:31:00.001-05:00

We don't really have a yard for the kids to play in the snow, so we sat in the hot tub while it snowed. The kids enjoyed it. Our front yard has lots of trees and leaves. It started snowing at church yesterday. By the end of the day it was just cold. They canceled school I guess because they were afraid it would ice over. So the kids got a free day today. Brooke and Hunter went out to play in what was left of the snow today in the yard next door.

Alex and Kate baking!

2009-02-22T19:19:00.001-05:00

Alex wanted some cookies so I told him he needed to bake them. Kate was his little helper. They did a great job!

Happy Birthday Matt!

2009-01-27T10:45:00.002-05:00

Danielle came for a quick weekend trip a couple of weeks ago. It was great to visit with her.

V8 Shake!

2009-01-15T10:17:00.003-05:00

I made this shake today! It was so good and good for you. Take 1/2 cup of juice (I used the V8 diet), 1/2 cup of ice, 1/2 cup of fruit and 1 cup of yogurt. You could add wheat germ in it as well. I love it!

"Me help", "Me help"!!

2009-01-05T19:50:00.004-05:00

So this is Kate's new phrase. Anytime she sees anyone in the kitchen, whether we are washing dishes or cooking. Here comes the chair sliding across the room and a little "Kate" saying "me help, me help." She wants to help wash dishes, cook, you name it. She helps in the laundry room as well.

Bowling over break

2009-01-05T19:45:00.004-05:00

On New Year's Day we went bowling with Shondra's family. We had a good time. We aren't the best bowlers but all that counts is that we had fun!

Christmas Morning

2008-12-29T10:29:00.001-05:00

Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa's

2008-12-29T10:25:00.002-05:00

We all got together at Grandma and Grandpa's house for a nice dinner. We all enjoyed being together.

Gingerbread House

2008-12-29T10:21:00.002-05:00

Every year the third graders make gingerbread houses with their parents. Hunter and I had a great time.

Dipping and Dipping

2008-12-17T16:36:00.003-05:00

I was dipping candy canes and marshmallows. Kate decided she wanted to help. She actually did a great job dipping marshmallows.

Jeff and I after cruising.

2008-12-17T16:33:00.003-05:00

Okay, since I didn't have a good picture of me on the beach, here is an after shot. You can at least see a tan.

More Carving

2008-10-27T20:28:00.001-04:00

Alex working on his pumpkin, we heard a great idea to put your "beater" on the end of your drill and it helps to get the goop out. It worked really well. I had to have a pic of Jeff and I to show that I was actually there. Our finished products.

Carving Time!

2008-10-27T20:23:00.001-04:00

Since we were carving pumpkins tonight I thought for dinner we would have mummies and bones for dinner. Kids carving pumpkins.

2008-10-25T22:09:00.003-04:00

Okay, so Laura tagged me. 7 interesting or weird things about me!

1. I used to take tap, jazz, and ballet from the time I was 3 until I graduated high school.

2. I am in the primary presidency. I never saw that coming.

3. Jeff and I met on a blind date. He was the third Jeff I had dated in a row. He was the lucky one! Right! ha ha

4. I am the youngest of 4 daughters.

5. The first time I ever shot a hand gun was on my first visit to Jeff's mom and dad's house in Alpine, WY. It was pretty neat, but it kinda threw me back. Not as easy as it looks on tv.

6. I wanted to have my kids abcd: ex. Alex, Brooke, Casen and "D" name for the last child. Jeff thought the name "Casen" sounded like a car part, so it ended with Brooke. Oh well!

7. I got my first kiss when I was 13. Cute boy from church.

Okay so now I tag: Shondra, Elizabeth R., my cousin Bonnie, my sis-in-law(Polly),Kasey, Jen Schaefer,LeAnn Austin.

A trade for the Pappy!!

2008-10-13T19:55:00.003-04:00

No more pappies! We took are pappies to Wal-Mart and "traded" them in for this doll and stroller. We had a few rough nights but we are doing much better each day. That was a hard addiction.

Corn Maize

2008-10-13T19:53:00.002-04:00

Here is the corn maize. You had to answer questions about Georgia in able to make it through the maize.

The Rock Ranch

2008-10-13T19:49:00.005-04:00

Cookie time

2008-10-13T19:47:00.003-04:00

We baked some halloween cookies. The kids loved cutting them out and frosting them. It was a new recipe and it was okay. We will stick with the family favorite.

I cry............ more now than I use to. Loved Conference - it made me cry
I am not always........ on the computer, only half the time
I lose........... my mind
I am confused......... about why we have 2 terrible running mates for President
I need.............. to exercise and tone up
I should........... clean my house today
I dream.......... no, I have night terrors. I dream I would dream.

Thanks Jaimee, this was hard!

"Come what may and love it"

2008-10-06T10:28:00.004-04:00

When you don't think General Conference could get any better it does. I have been listening to Saturday's session. I thoroughly enjoyed Joseph B. Wirthlin. He talked on despair, adversity and how to deal with it. One thing that touched me the most was to "laugh". I find myself getting upset at drivers and dumb things - he said laugh. He gave great examples of times when his family could have been very upset but instead they laughed. His mother always said to him during times of adversity "Come what may and love it". Wow! He is a great speaker.

"Live For Today"

2008-10-05T15:47:00.004-04:00

I always look forward to listening to President Monson speak. He said, "Live for today". Sometimes I find myself looking too far ahead and forget what is happening today. I need to cherish what my children are doing now because before to long, they are gone and don't need me anymore. One example, is Hunter. Everynight I am to tuck him in bed. Sometimes, I do this grudgingly because I too may already be in bed, or I have already been up the stairs a ton of times and don't want to go up again. But, I go. I need to cherish this time because, one day, Hunter isn't going to want me to tuck him in. So today I am challenging myself and the rest of you to "Live for Today" and be grateful for what we have now.

What color Umbrella are you?

[b]What Your Brown Umbrella Says About You[/b]
[img]http://www.blogthingsimages.com/theumbrellatest/brown.png[/img]
When faced with adversity, you rush to fix things right away.You don't like discomfort or conflict in your life, and you are always looking to restore balance.
You live a serene, cozy life. You choose stability over excitement, and you're the better for it.You are very together and down to earth. Not a lot phases you.
On a rainy day: you should stay home - there's no better place to be

Look how fun

2008-09-14T20:42:00.004-04:00

I made Kate a small flannel board to take to church or out to eat. I used my sizzix die cuts. I thought it was a cute idea. I found the small flannel board idea on someone's blog and then thought how cute it would be to use my die cuts. Kate likes it!

Dad's 65th Birthday!

2008-08-17T19:27:00.003-04:00

Today is my Dad's 65th Birthday! I think he enjoyed his birthday. We had all the grandchildren write up a total of 65 reasons why they love their Grandpa. Then the 4 of us girls wrote up a total of 65 reasons why we love our Dad and we posted them all throughout his house. So when he came home from work lastnight he found the posts. He is still finding them. I love my Dad and am very thankful for him!

Breaking Dawn

2008-08-04T14:57:00.002-04:00

So Shondra, Mom, McKenna, Brooke, Kaya and I went to Books a Million on Fri. to get the new Stephenie Meyer Book "Breaking Dawn". I forgot my camera. I will have to get some pictures from Shondra. I was told that I was in the loser line because I kept forgetting to get my voucher. So I had to wait until 12:25 a.m. to receive my book. I started it Sat. morning and finished it Sun. evening. I loved it. I won't tell anything about it. It was great! I loved it. I love Edward. and Bella has gained my respect back. I also like Jacob again.
