Haleys 1st Sleding Adventure!!!

The joys of farm life. Where else can you hook up a sled to your 4 wheeler and pull you kid around the farm. It was so fun. Haley loved it!!! She didnt want me to stop. She loved it so much she........well the pictures will tell.....

It was snowing so she wasnt smiling because she was trying to keep snow out of her eyes.

 Thats right she fell asleep.

Haleys Toddler Bed!!!

For Christmas Haley got her toddler bed, dresser, and all the trimmings. She has slept in it all night by herself. She loves it. Her favorite thing to do is jump on it.  My mom did a great job!!!

 Curtains

Cute little chair for her room to match

Merry Christmas 2010

We had a great christmas. My mom and Lyle came down and spent Christmas here with us. We woke at 6 a.m. and began the fun.

Haley had so much fun opening but had so much to do she gave up on the last 8.

 Playing with her airplane and boat from Santa

Lonnie's awesome shirt from my sister. HILARIOUS!!!

OK SO I SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST!!!!!!!!! SANTA BROUGHT ME A HUGE SIGN FOR OUR ROAD!!!!!

How awesome!!! Maybe we wont have KOA people anymore!!

SNOW SNOW SNOW!!!!

Wow!! All I can say is wow!! So much snow!! We had no power for several hours!! What a crazy day!! Also to top it all off while we were shoveling snow Haley got in Grandmas car and locked herself in there. So we got to call the cops to come get her out. She was in there for 30 min. Oh boy!!

 Snow total thus far 18"-20"

The New Trend of Fashion!!

This is what happens when you tell your daughter to go put some pants on.

 She goes and gets a skirt put its on inside out and turns it into a mini skirt. And dont forget the fashionable boot look!!!

Christmas at IFA

Every year since last we have started a tradition of going to IFA in Delta. They have horse drawn sleigh rides,  pictures with Santa, hot dogs and cake. It is so much fun and its all free. This year was great!!

Haley really enjoyed the sleigh ride!!

 Now this picture is of Haley with her candy cane from Santa. You may be wondering where Santa is in the picture. Yeah well Haley did not enjoy Santa she screamed at the top of her lungs....Grabbed her TREAT and RAN for me!!!! This is her holding her proud treat.  

CHRISTMAS CARDS 2010

I found these cute christmas cards at a yard sale brand new for $2.00. You just slide you picture in the top of the card and their is your personalized card with picture. Then it flips open to write your christmas cheers. I did the pictures myself. I set up the backdrop and everything and had a friends dad come snap the pictures with his better camera. I then printed them at walmart. They turned out so cute!!!

Fall Leaves!!!

I forgot to post these pictures a month or two ago from when we went up the canyon to see the leave change colors and to collect a few of them. We had so much fun.

1 Month Mark!!

Well today marks one month since surgery. Things are good. We had x-rays done today and everything looks great. He does have 2 screws in there. He gets to wear the boot for another month. The doctor says it has healed about 60%-70%. Now we get to put ointment on his scar 3-4 times a day for 8 weeks. OH BOY!! Its still painful and needs to heal so he is still limited on his work ability. We have such good friends and family to help though. THANKS!!! Oh yeah and he does have a good wife. LOL!!!

 Looking lots better

Things Im GRATEFUL For:

There are so many things to be grateful for this year. I am so grateful for this time of year so I am forced to reflect on our many blessings.

1. I am so thankful for my Savior and his unconditional love. Im grateful for his Atonement and all he has done for me. We are so blessed to have his gospel in our lives.
2. Is thankful for the scriptures and all they teach us. Im thankful for the temples and the chance I get to go there and be closer to our Heavenly Father.
3. I am so thankful for my wonderful husband. He is a such a great man. He is also a great father to our little girl. Im so lucky to have him. Im glad we can strive each day to be closer to each other and our Savior.

4. I am so thankful for our daughter. She is such a blesing in our lives. She is the light of our life. She brings so much joy to our family.

5. I am thankful for wonderful families. We both have great parents/stepparents and siblings that make us who we are today. We love them so much.

6. I am so grateful for GREAT friends. We have so pretty great ones who love us unconditionally and are always there for us. What would we do without great friends.
7. I am grateful for so many things. Even the little things that happen everyday. We are so blessed and are so grateful for all we have to live with and enjoy.

Let us all be a little more grateful and see the good in our lives not the bad!!!!!!!

2 Week Mark!!!

So its been two weeks since surgery and things are going well. Lonnie foot is slowly healing, but not like it should the doc says. Its nothing serious it justs needs to dry out and scab over. Hopefully in the next 2 weeks it will. The bandages are off and he just has the strips to keep incision together till it heals. He doesnt need crutches anymore so he is up and hobbling around a little bit. Its so nice to see no huge bump on the side of his foot and to see his big toe straight finally. It sounds funny, but if you had seen it before you would be excited like me to!!

the yellow stuff is just iodine so its hard to see incision.

Quiz Time!!!

In the spirit of thanksgiving I thought I would do a quiz on how much we know about thanksgiving. Go to this link and take this quiz and see how much you know about thanksgiving.    http://lds.about.com/library/weekly/aa112802a.htm     Let me know how it goes. Leave a comment!!

THE INCISION!!!

So we went today and got Lonnie's bandages changed. It was awesome to see what the incision looked like and to see no HUGE bump on the side of his foot. He is doing so well with the pain and healing that he is off his pain killers and just on motrin and tylenol. He is on my last nerve though because he is going stir crazy (onry) not being able to do anything and im trying to manage everything.

 Fun huh!!!

Lonnie's Surgery

Well the day finally came weather we wanted it to or not. We arrived at hospital at 6:30a.m. He went in at 8:00a.m. Everything went smoothly he was in for 2 hours. Here in Fillmore there is not many surgerys so several nurses got to sit in and observe the surgery. Lonnie had a packed house. He was glad he was knocked out and not watching everyone stare at him. Now on to the next 3 months of joy. I will have pictures of his incision next week when he gets new bandages. It should be cool looking. NOTE: Lonnie was so out of it that he could care less he was getting his picture taken. Now I may be in trouble for all these pictures of him on here, unless I keep him drugged. LOL

 Haley giving dad his balloons!!

 So happy to be alive!!!

His beautiful boot he gets to wear for 3 months!!!

FYI: For those who dont know Lonnie had a bunion removed and his big toe realigned

TRICK OR TREAT!!!!!!

First we went to Trunk or Treat at the church. Haley had so much fun once she relized she got to take candy from people and put it in her bag. She loved it. Then we took her up town to some houses. Oh boy she has never had so much fun. She would run to the door and grab some candy (if they didnt take it away she would grab more) then put it in her bag. She is soooooo wired right now from all the candy!!!!!

Cute little indian, and a TIRED mother who didnt care that she wore her robe, messy hair and smeared makeup!!!

Eating her candy!!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Have a great Halloween and stay tuned for our Halloween adventures. IT IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!!

Lady Eagles Youth Volleyball

I got a opportunity to coach the 7th and 8th grade team this year. It was a new thing we were trying and it turned out great. The season is over, but we had so much fun and the girls improved a lot. They even won 85% of there games. So proud. My vb friend came and helped coach one of the teams. It was a big help. Now no more volleyball till Club starts. (Hopefully)

FHE: Halloween Cookies

For FHE we made sugar cookies and cut them out with Halloween cookie cutters and then proceeded to decorate them. It was a lot of fun. Then we took them around to some neighbors.

Haley loved using the spatula to pick up the cookies!!
