I KNOW......I'M A SLACKER....SO WHAT?

Just some pretty clouds.

Fuzzy air show pictures from my front stairs.

It was fun to watch and not have to deal with the people or the traffic.

Darrin teaching Jared how to cast the fly rod.

Darrin and Brianna playing with the Nerf gun.

Jared's turn.

Way cool Cody.


I asked Tyler to take a picture of me and Cody.........He thought it was funny.

A little better.

I did manage to get a few of Tyler.

I laughed pretty hard when he did this, It reminded me of when Lisa pulled her arm in her shirt and looked through her arm hole and all you could see was her eyes.

Pimp Daddy Tyler.

There is more to come........just hold on................

I KNOW.......I'M A SLACKER....SO WHAT? Part two

Darrin showing Tyler some moves.

I tried to get this picture before they sat up.

Hand Vs. Finger.

Nate trying to help Tyler.
Cody and his WAY FAT LIP!

Jared's first time meeting his cousin Owen.

My first time meeting Owen. He is so cute.

Sam and Kristin, I am so glad that you stopped by. I sure do miss you guys and Owen is the sweetest little guy.

I thought it would be funny to put a bunch of pony tails in Brianna's hair....Cody thought it would be funny to make them all stand up.....

Then I curled them. It did turn out pretty cute.

The Big Birthday Boy and his German Chocolate cake.

Tyler thought there was way too many bug's while we were fishing.

Gabe and Jared at Holter Dam. One of our favorite fishing spots.

Tyler, Trying his hardest.....We later realized that we had the wrong line for this river, The fish kept getting away.

Jared holding the ONLY fish that we got to shore. Darrin caught it.

Cody, The cool fisherman.

After Tyler ALMOST got a fish to shore. It was very sad.

Getting pooped.

This is Cody's eye, We thought it looked like a fish eye.

Getting packed up to go home.



My cute Cody. I love you too!

Gabe looking cranky.

Tyler is the biggest pain in the butt when it comes to taking his picture.

When you play with my camera, You better delete any pictures you don't want anyone else to see. Ha Ha.

Cody and Tyler, We miss you guys so much. I will sit with Brianna and go thru the pictures and every time she sees pictures of you two she'll get all excited and yell...Todie...Tylow. I really hope that you two can come visit again. I love you so much. I hope you are staying out of trouble. Give your mom loves for me.

We had an awesome storm. with hail and LOTS of rain. This is Gabe getting my little video recorder out of my car. Look how high the water is.

What the Hail?

After the storm passed.


Jared getting his face painted at my company BBQ.

This was just a cool looking rainbow in the middle of the sky.....no rain tho.

Me lovin on my friends new baby girl.

Gabe and Jared on the first day of school. Jared is in 3rd grade and Gabe is in 10Th.

Outside of Jared's class room.

This is all the kids in Jared's class.

Jared at his desk.

Jared seems to like the new baby as well.

This hot air balloon was in the baseball field across the street from our apartment this morning.

I challenge my sibs.........

To show support for our Momma, I cut about 7 inches of my hair off. The challenge is for all the sister's to cut their hair and the brother's to shave their heads. Who's up for it? Pictures to come.

Our week with G-ma Loretta and Great Aunt Jane

OK, I tried as best I could to get these in order. Don't mind any of the dates on the pictures!!
Here are the roses that Jared, Gabe and I got for mom and Aunt Jane. You can't see, but they have stripes on them.
We got them some balloons too.

On our first day out Darrin and I took mom and Jane to Hauser dam.
The lake above the dam was covered with fog but it burned off right in front of our eyes. It was soooo pretty.
It's the cliffs of insanity! well almost.

Mom, Jane and Darrin coming down the path.
Kodak moment.
I love the self timer.

Just a sign on the dam.
Coming back from the dam...This is Hauser lake.
We also took them up to park lake. Mom asked me to to stop so she could take a picture of this tree. I'm glad I took one as well seeing how I accidentally erased her memory card!...Sorry mom.

Park lake. So pretty.
Mom had the great idea to give Darrin an early birthday party as well as Thanksgiving dinner because she wouldn't be here. I made a full Dinner, Turkey, stuffing and all. I also made Darrin's cake. It was fun.
We went back up to park lake so mom could get more pictures. This day was much colder then the first day we came up. We had the boys this time.

Jared, Gabe and mom....on a rock.
Us.....on same rock!
Darrin and his mom....in front of said rock.
More lake.....with trees.

Mom taking a picture.
Mom asked me if the missionary's could give them a blessing before they left so they would have a safe trip. I don't know why I can't sit through a blessing without crying. When they were done, Jared asked if he could have one too. So cute.
Mom and Jared hanging out before the goodbyes.

Gabe was on a scout camp trip, that's why he's not in the picture.

I came out onto the porch and took this picture.

While I was taking this picture, Jared came out on the porch. I turned around to look at him and he had tears running down his face. I told him that they would make it home safely and he hugged me and said.." But I already miss them".

Mom and Jane, We are so happy that you came to visit. We had such a good time. Thank you for all the laughs and silliness. We sure do love you. Come again real soon...and bring the rest of the clan.
