Dec. 09

We had a great Christmas and kids have been enjoying the snow.

October '09'

Marcus lost his 1st tooth and was very excited about it. Kara, Kyle and Kody finished volleyball, we had a great Halloween party with the Crapo's Where we carved our pumpkins and went Trick or Treating. We had a great month!

Summer Slacker

On our fishing trip both Marcus and Kara caught fish.

We had a lot of fun on a hike with Greg's family to Doughnut Falls.
We got our yard in towards the end of summer.
We have had a couple of trips to the Zoo and they have so many new baby's to see.

Marcus had a great 6th birthday!
Kara had 6 teeth pulled and one fell out the day before so she is missing 7 teeth.
Our final walk though is in the morning. Hurray!!!!!!!!

Marucs 1st Baseball Game

It was a beautiful day for a baseball game, and Marcus did awesome and loved every minute of it. He was so excited that everyone came to watch exceptionally his Uncle Scott. Thanks to everyone for coming.
While Ryan waited for Marcus's game to start he enjoyed the playground. It was finally warm enough to go out and play all day.

House is ready for paint and stucco

House is ready for sheet rock

They poured the porch and the front step today.
The insulation is in and the house is ready for sheet rock. The front also looks ready for the brick.

Happy Easter

I think that the kids had a good Easter.

House is Framed

The inside and outside of the house completely done with the framing. The windows were put in today along with all the plumbing. Including the tubs, shower, and water and drain lines though out the whole house. Wow it is going fast.

The last 3 days

In the last 3 days the house as gone from just the floor to the outside walls on the main floor, the inside walls framed on the man floor.To the second floor outside walls up and then the inside walls framed. I am sure that it will slow down but it sure is going fast right now.

House is coming fast

Just in the last week and a half they have poured all the cement and they dropped the wood Thursday night and had the floor on Friday by 4. They have told us that after the wood it takes 39 days until close. They tell us that we will be in by May. It is going so fast that it crazy to drive by everyday and see something happening.

What a Week

Kara made the bronze swim team this week and goes to practice twice a week. She is loving it I think that she is a fish.
Jenni was slightly hit by a car and hurt her leg. She had to get stitches in two places. She is also having to take pills, that is really fun to deal with. She will get this off her leg on Monday and see if it gets to stay off.
In one week we got a phone call that the permits for our new house had been purchased, the footings and the foundation have all been poured and the drive way will be done next week. We had meeting with the contractor and it should go very fast.

Trip to Arizona

We just got back from a quick trip to Arizona for the funeral of Charmain Sant. She was married to my cousin Clay and had two kids Joe and Kim. This is a picture of my cousin Clay and his daughter Kim. It is really hard to see someone go through death. He is an awesome person and will miss her dearly. However I do think that he will be ok. Our harts and love goes out to him and his family. I want him to know that we love him and will always be there for him and his family. We love you Clay and we'll miss you Char!!!!

Marcus 1st Basketball game(practice)

Marcus is loving basketball. He found out that they are not having real games that we needed to buy tickets for but he is enjoying the practices. The league decided to just teach the kid the game and fundamental skills but is still liking it. And of course that makes mom very happy. We are very proud of him and how hard he is trying to learn.

Kara 1st basketball game in 09

Kara had her 1st game of the year last week. She is doing really well and really likes it. Of course it is hard for mom to sit and not yell but I am very proud of her. Marcus is also playing basketball for 1.5 hours a week but they don't have games so I will have to get a pic of him at practice to show his skills off. I am also very proud of him and he is really enjoying it. We love Basketball!!!!!

Happy New Year

We had quiet New Year this year. We were just with our little family, my mom and dad, grandmas, and Kara 's friend Miranda. We played the Wii, got in the hot tube, and went to dinner. Most of us made it until the new year. Ryan and Marcus crashed a little before but they had a good time.
