Fun Times

It's time to party!! It's Super Bowl time.

Love Blake's t-shirt

It's going to be an exciting game.

Yummy food 

for everyone to enjoy!

Grandma JeanAnn on a trip to visit

Uncle Murrell.

Sharing a fun picture of the siblings + 2.

Thanks Jesse for taking care of the rowdy group.

On the look out for these pants.

However, need a smaller size for Ryder.

No luck so far.

Trying something new.

Walmart cashier sharing his opinion of a great new treat.

He even found one for me to try.

Good but won't out do the original.

Deal of the week.

I have been looking each week during our thrifting trips

for a jean jacket under $20.

FOUND!!

Gap Denim Jacket with multiple pockets for $8.00

Patience paid off!!

Nothing like hanging out with family, friends, and setting goals. What should we do next?

Boys Trip

Son like father, 2 peas in a pod, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, and any other phrases that describe a father & son team. This is never more true than Ryder & Dave. They both love anything with wheels and the thrill of looking for great deals. Ryder found one in Phoenix.

Road Trip to pick up his first purchase.

Look Mom!!

Beautiful rainbow

on the trip home.

They made in home.

All 3 off them!

Ruston helping check everything out.

Everyone trying to assess

First order getting some gas.

Letting Dad drive might not be such a good idea.

He might want to keep it.

They are off!

Small problem

Where do you put the gas in?

After a few attempts they found right on tip

just pressing down. It popped right up.

They had a great time together on a 24 hour trip. The adventure is just getting started with flipping cars. Watch for updates on this new venture.

A New Month...February

Not sure how we got to February but here we are.  

Love getting random pictures with this beautiful smile.

It's not perfect.

Rylee is ready to suffer again for a sake a beauty.

Hopefully the 3-4 months go by even faster.

It happened again!!

Ryder being invited to Preference

Not sure where Sophie got the socks from.

Ryder's response

Dang!! I can't get the picture to move the right way.

Only 2 dances left in the school year.

There is never a dull moment or a slow one in our family. Stay with us for new challenges this month.

 

Have You Ever...

Tried anything new? Tried something different? or tried a new adventure?  We stepped out of our comfort zone for just a little while. Not sure if it was all successful, but it was fun to see what happens.

Brookies?

One of my primary kids talked about a yummy treat that her older sister made.

I though I knew what I was doing and it sounds yummy.

No recipe?

Failed attempt with the brownie on top and not cooking all the way through.

It could be a success if you like doughy brownies

Not to pick up after your kids?

This also wasn't much of a success.

Ryder couldn't understand why I was going crazy about his blankets thrown on the floor.

We are still working on this one.

Ever wondered where your sacrament cups

come from?

If you ave in our ward wonder no more.

This is what a years worth looks like.

They are heavier than you would think.

It's a crazy foggy morning 

in St George.

Driving to Hurricane was what driving in the clouds

would be like. Hurricane was blue skies with fluffy white clouds.

By noon the fog was gone.

Yummy lunch

I'm not usually very adventurous with vegetables.

I had to share with Ryder what he was missing today.

Fish Wednesday is always a winner!!

Heart Attack!!

Dave's supervisors love him.

They really like to surprise him and maybe make him squirm a little.

Everyone should try to new things and new adventures once in a while. It's surprising what you might like and even enjoy. Be adventurous!!

Stingrays Snowmelt Classic 2024

Here we are the final regular meet of the short course season. This has been a weird season and it is weirder by the minute. After this meet it's onto championship season. Ryder is so close to qualifying let's s see what he can do.

New style of picture

I need new angles of swim pictures.

What did you say? I can't hear you.

Ryder & David

They have competed against each other since they were 9 years old.

One swimming at SHAC and the other at WCCC.

Then worked out along side each other the past 2 years on the

Nat D Team. This is their last meet together. David graduates from high school in May.

This was their first time.

March 2018 at Short Course Age Group Championships.

Look how they have grown up?

Time has flown bye!!

It was a good meet giving balance after super fast times in San Diego. Most coming back to reality to home times.
