And Last but not least

The reason why I haven't been blogging too much is because I just finished my CNA course and passed all my state exams to be a CNA!!!! AND I am currently a full time student at the community college. I am hoping to get all my pre-reqs done so I can apply for the nursing program here. SO I have been quite the busy mom lately.

Here are my friends Megan, Renee and I when we passed our state skills test.

Pumpkin Patches

We went to Carvers Farm with Bryson and Allies preschool. The kids kept picking tons of different pumpkins that they wanted but these are the ones that came home with us.

Here is Charlie with his.
Allie with hers.

Bryson with his, and we picked one for Baylee too.

Girls Trip

One of my girlfriends and I went on a girls weekend trip to Seattle and had a blast. We did anything and everything. It was so much fun and can't wait for the next girls trip.

Harbor Cruises awesome picture with the space needle in the background.Space needle at night. We also went during the day too.

Me jumping on the bed in our hotel. It was an amazing hotel. It was so nice taking a nap in the middle of the day and not being woken up.

Taylor did something crazy with the picture but it was cool.

This is my girlfriend Taylor and I on our way to Seattle. Crazy thing is when we flew home it was 9/11 we were a little nervous especially when we would turn the TV on and see all the videos from 9/11.

SO MUCH FUN!!!!!

Preschool

The kids first day of preschool!!!

Allie, Bryson, and Charlie

Charlie wanted to be in there so bad.

Allie and Bryson

Look how happy they are to go to school.


Bryson just wanting me to stop taking pictures and just go have fun.

Baylee's First Day of school

These are the only pictures she would let me take she was so excited to go to school and couldn't wait to start. She doesn't understand that she has to be at school everyday and some days she feels like being home. Baylee loves to ride the bus and always wants to give the bus driver treats. She is loving school and is doing very well. She comes home spelling words and can count to 50 already. She is such a smart cookie.

Catch up

So its been a while since I have blogged but here I go. This is back at the fourth of July parade. If you can't tell it was super hot. Here is Charlie and he loved waving the flag.

Bryson with his best bud Clayton.

Baylee with her friend Jonny. They are so cute they are always calling to have play dates.

Diana and her kids walking because my brother Matt was serving over seas but know he is home.

This is one of the floats. It was a Shriek theme and was really awesome.

Baylee's First's

While we were in Twin Falls Baylee and I went and got her ears pierced. She was really excited to get them done. The ladies did both ears at the same time which was good. She cried a little but was really really happy afterwards. The same day she got her ears pierced I noticed that she had a loose tooth and on June 30th she lost her tooth. I was brushing her teeth in the evening after a bath and I noticed it was loose enough to come out, so I let Darin do the honors of taking it out. She squealed a little but was really excited to have it out. She keeps sticking her tongue in the space. She was really excited to get money from the tooth fairy. Bryson really wants to lose a tooth now so he can get money from the tooth fairy too.

Summer Trip

Charlie drove the whole way. Boy what a speed demon he is.Bryson and Clayton during the BBQ. I can't believe how big Holly's boys have gotten.
Baylee and Casen.

Charlie and Cody.

Casen, Bryson, Baylee and Cody jumping on the trampoline.

Twin Falls

Baylee and Bryson rolling down the hill.Baylee, Bryson, and Charlie looking at the falls. They were really amazing.
I really love this picture of Baylee and Bryson walking hand in hand.

The Falls was running so fast and the mist was so big that when we pulled up to the parking lot it seemed like it was raining.

The kids and I.

We went to Twin Falls to visit my sister and her family. It was tons of fun and the falls were really beautiful.

yummy

What a great combination of food pineapple and pop tarts.

Charlie you funny kid you.

She did it!!!

So for some reason I can't move the pictures around anymore. I used to be able too but now can't so they are randomly put up on here. This is a picture of one of my best friends wedding cake. I must say it looks amazing and that is because I made it. Here is the beautiful bride Tasha with her bridesmaids.
Tasha and I. I could totally tell she really wanted to give me a smooch. Couldn't help myself.

Tasha and her new hubby Dan.

Look how happy they are.

I am so excited that Tasha got married to a great guy like Dan and I really hope that they are always happy in their marriage. Good Luck!

Best Time

My family and I when I finished the race. My kids and I right before the race.
Charlie looking at the ducks waiting for mom to finish.

These pictures are the kids wanting for me to get done with my race. Darin took them down to feed the ducks. My finish line was in River Front Park in Spokane.
Here I am finishing the run. I love this picture because Bryson is so excited to see me and he is reaching out for me.Here is a picture of my running buddy Cassie and I.

I did the Windermere half marathon this year and it was a blast. I really love the course that we run. I did the run this year with my cousin Cassie and my sister JoAnn. We got to the race with only enough time to use the bathroom and start and so I am sad that I didn't get a picture with JoAnn. Cassie finished in 1:53, JoAnn 3:06 and min was the best time that I have ran out of the three that I have done at 1:53 that is a pace of 8:40. I am so proud of us all and was so excited to be done but I would love to do another this year.

Biggest Loser

Dana my trainer and I My team

So this year I did the biggest loser at the gym and did really well. I got 2nd out of the girls, and my team got first. I was so excited we had tons of fun and Dana was such an awesome trainer. It was great doing this with some family and we all did really well.

Easter

Bryson dying eggs Charlie dying eggs and he managed to get some on his mouth.
The day before Easter we went to an Easter egg hunt. The kids had tons of fun and found lots of eggs.

Charlie figured out how to do the egg hunting pretty fast.

He wanted to hold his eggs and bucket. He had tons of fun.

Haley spent the night and came with us. This is just before the hunt.

The kids had tons of fun with the Easter seasons. It was so much fun watching the kids reactions with the Easter baskets and the egg hunts.
