First Day of School

I cant believe that my BUG is going into 8th grade. It was just yesterday that I was taking him to preschool. As a mother I am so proud of this boy. He has accomplished so much in his 13 years. I am proud to be your mom!!!




Here are some of the kids waiting for Bus. KJ, Alex, Zach and Leah. Do you think they are a little excited!!!

Our Summer

I know, I know. I have not posted FOREVER. I was just saying the other day,"Where did your summer go!!! So here is a fast preview of our summer.

Zach is a TEENAGER!!!

Happy Birthday Zach. You are FINALLY a true TEENAGER!!!!

As most of you know, Zach is a great kid. I have somewhat dreaded today, because I never thought I would ever have a teenager. I thought he would be little forever. But I have to say, he has turned out A O K!!!

Zach is:

Extremely thoughtful

Very helpful

Would be anyones friend

Even though he does not share it,

he has an AWESOME testimony of the gospel.

He loves his family.

He is very smart.

He is just Zach. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACH. Sorry we are not there with you this morning, but we will see you soon.



Also, a big"WAY TO GO" Jason, if you are reading this Saturday morning, he is on his bike riding 100 miles for the Diabetes Assoication. Keep your finger that we have no RAIN.

Last Day of School at the Pool

Yesday was the last day of school. Zach did not go, so I got a pitcure of him as he was heading off to Seven Peaks with some of his Track buddies. I took the day off to spend with him. But as you can see he was gone most of the day. I do have to say that he is a great kid and got up and made me french toast. It was Yummy. I cant believe that he is thur his first year of Jr. High. He did really well this year. He made some great friends, joined the track team and learned what it was like to have real HOMEWORK!!!!

Also, last night he was invited to his first real PARTY. His friend Brandon had what I would call a "Hanging out" party. When I dropped him off and asked when I needed to come back, I was expecting 2 or so hours. Nope 4-5 hours for this party. WOW my boy is growing up.

Now summer is here and he will be busy with mowing lawns, hanging out at the pool and camping trips with the scouts. Zach we love you lots and are VERY PROUD OF YOU!!!!

A New Coke Commercial

Last weekend Liz, Chris and Little Max was here. Sunday afternoon we were outside enjoying a nice meal. This is what we got on the camera. We think we should send it to Coke and see if they want to use it as a new commercial.
Ignore all the talking until the very end. That is the best part. Sorry that it is sideways, but you will still think it is cute. (Does anyone know how to rotate this?)

When Abby was a baby, Scott gave her a taste of Pepsi and called it bubble juice. So now we have taught Max what Bubble Juice really is. As you can see he really enjoyed it.

May 2, 2009

This last weekend the scouts headed out for a campout. They headed to 9 Mile Canyon down by Price. They had a BALL despite all the rain and mud!!!

Zach and his cousin Carter.
Hole in the Rock or is that a head in a rock.

Here is some of the cool graphics that they all got to see.

With all the rain and the clay dirt down there. This is what my car looked like. We are still seeing dried clay clumps falling from the bottom of the car. Will my car ever be the same? Ihave to say that our ward has a great group of boys in our troop. Jason said that they all got along and really enjoyed all the little hikes that they went on. Plus the mud, but what boy doesnt like mud.

Zach Gets His LIFE!!!!!

April 26,2009

At our last Court of Honor Zach received his LIFE. We are so PROUD of him. He has worked very hard this last year gettting to this point. Now his Eagle. He is going to take his time a little bit because he wants he Grandparents that are on a mission to be here for his project. KEEP up the great work Zach.

The scout committe started a "TRAVELING TROPHY" for the boys. Since Jason is the YM Pres. he thought that our Court of Honors need a little bit of change. So he made this trophy to pass along this next year. So guess who the first winner was. Yep you guess it. ZACH. It is kind of funny because he helped his dad make this. So he now has 3 months to plan a service project. He will report on it at the next Court of Honor.
