Halloween 2010

Cordell as a cowboy and Landon as Optimus Prime the transformer.




Jennifer as a fairy


Camille as a giraffe. She also dressed up as a ballerina for the school carnival but I didn't get a pic of that one.

Blog overload!!

I got behind on the blog because our computer wasn't working very good for a while and it was a pain to do anything on it. Jess did a few things and got it to work better, but its still not as good as it was. Any computer experts out there that want to take a look at it??

So, scroll down to see all the new posts!!

We were rearraniging things and brought our tv from the downstairs to the upstairs, but hadn't brought up any furniture yet, that's why everyone is laying on the floor. The kids and Jess were watching something, I don't remember what, they looked too cute all there together, so I snapped a picture.


Cordell and Jennifer have their first swim meet this weekend, and I plan to take pictures, so look for that post to come soon!! I am so excited and nervous for them!!

General Conference

General Conference was wonderful once again!! We had a full house for the Sunday sessions! Jess's parents came over from Boise and his sister Tia and her family came over and brought 3 other nieces with them. I think we had 11 kids. Not the best for trying to get anything out of the talks, but definitly a lot of fun!! That's what the Conference Edition Ensign is for, right?

I didn't take many pictures, but did get one of the kids doing their "quiet packets."

Cordell is in the blue shirt in front. To the right of him is Allie, then Jennifer and Meghan(who all you can see is her shirt). Going around the table to the right is Anna in the white shirt, then Shyanne and Landon, and back to the left of Cordell is Kassie. We are missing Emilee, Carli, and Camille!! Poor Cordell and Landon were girl trapped, none of their boy cousins were there, but all their girl cousins were.

I can't even remember why Camille was crying, but she wasn't very happy that all I was doing was laughing and snapping pictures. Good thing she's so cute!!


I loved the first talk by Elder Holland and I always love Elder Bednar's and Eyering's talks!! I think I need to listen to Elder Eyering's talk every morning before I start my day!! My favorite talk by President Monson was given during the Relief Society Broadcast. He was cracking me up!! Isn't it great that we have a living prophet and apostles and that we get to hear them speak to us twice a year.

Camille's Birthday

I can't believe my baby is 2!!  Does that mean I have to quit calling her "my baby"?!?!  I don't know if I can!  Each of the kids gave her a present. 

Jennifer's present was jewelry




Camille loved it!!


Cordell's present was blow horns, which all the kids fought over!


Landon gave her bubbles, and what 2 year old doesn't love bubbles!!



Camille spilled a whole picture of juice just as we were sitting down to eat dinner. As I was cleaning it up, she found her presents and opened this one. She was so excited to have an elmo coloring book, and since it was her birthday, I couldn't get too mad, but it was tempting!! (especially since I still had juice to clean up!!)



Blowing out her 2 candles!!


Cake, YUM!!


And continuing with my birthday tradition, 2 things I like the most about Camille.

1. She always pats and rubs my back when I hold her
2. She is my cute sweet little princess that still likes to cuddle, for a minute at least.

Go Broncos!!! (Boise State, NOT Denver, ha ha)

So, if you lived by Boise the past 3 or 4 years, you can't help it, its Bronco Fever and you catch it, and become a huge fan of Boise State football!! This was the first game of the season and the kids were all decked out and excited!! And, of course, they won!! In fact, the last three and a half years since Coach Pete took over the team, they have only lost ONE game!!

Landon's first day of preschool

Landon was so excited to start preschool, he asks me every day if he has preschool, unfortunately it's only Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can't believe my little boy is in preschool, and look out kindergarten, Landon is coming next year!!
