MATT THE CHEF

Matt was definitely the master chef on this night. He was sporting the apron and was very excited for us to see what he had accomplished...Way to Go Matt!

We went to Las Vegas to visit Grandma and Grandpa Canniff over Easter Break. It was my camera and I wanted some good pictures but, In most of the pictures we had either Matt or Aaron giving someone "bunny ears." Imagine my surprise When I got home and looked at the pictures and saw Grandma giving "bunny ears." I had to laugh...it was too funny.

Matt's First Chimney Sweep

Matt was so excited to help dad sweep our chimney. In this picture he started to run down our very slippery metal roof to get to the ladder...talk about nerve racking. Rooftops are dangerous enough, never mind the fact that we have a 10 year old boy who loves to climb as high as he can in a tree and thinks he is indestructible.

About Us

Life is Crazy, Fun, Exciting, Interesting, Frustrating, Intense, Amazing, Discouraging, Encouraging, Hopeful, Overwhelming, and Wonderful, but it is definitely not Boring. I love being married to Aaron and take comfort in the knowledge that we are a forever family. We have been blessed with four exceptional children and I thank God for them every day.

Matthew (Matt) is our eldest and is a very smart boy. He loves working with his hands just like his dad. He is a hard worker and is always willing to help out. He enjoys going to Boy Scouts and has had a great time going on camp outs with his troop.

Ammon is our second son and he baffles us with his ability to figure things out. If we need help with computers, cell phones, ipods, or other electronics, we ask him, and he is usually able to figure it out. He excels in school and is a joy to have in our home. Ammon is in cub scouts and is looking forward to the annual pinewood derby.

Amalie is our first daughter and she is very crafty. She loves making flowers for her hair and sewing things for her stuffed animals and dolls. She also loves to cook and help mom in the kitchen. She enjoys playing with peoples hair and has become quite good at braiding.

Zoie is our youngest and definitely our biggest mess maker. Her little mind never stops. She loves to be read to and would spend all day with a book...I'm looking forward to the time when she can read all by herself. She is our snuggle bug and loves to give and get hugs and kisses. She is very outgoing and makes new friends wherever she goes.

Aaron is the best husband and father. The kids love it when he plays games with them (even though he never lets them win). After work he often jumps on the trampoline, plays tickle time out, or just watches as the kids show him things they've done that day. He enjoys reading to the kids almost every night before they go to sleep. He has developed a new hobie/talent during the past few years--when he's not working on the business, he can often be found on the computer doing some videography. You'll have to check out some of his postings on youtube.

We are truly blessed...we have always had what we need, mainly because Aaron is such a hard worker (but I believe faith is involved too). I love Aaron and am grateful to have him as my husband. I keep myself busy working in the kids classes at school and am trying to run an efficient home. I enjoy trying out new recipes, reading, exercising, and spending time with the kids. I look forward each week (or sometimes every other week) to when Aaron and I get to go out (date night) and spend time with each other. I love my family and do this blog as a gift to them. Life is Great!
