Check out the many posts!!

I haven't posted anything for a couple of months and today I have sat here and posted two months worth of happenings WOW. I wished I had a faster moving computer but it is done. we have been busy and life has been crazy. I have been taking care of Chris's Grandma kinda full time now so my free time is very limited. We are all doing great and enjoying all of the many activities the kids are involved in, we start t-ball-coach pitch-and soft ball before the end of the month and Emily has a piano recital coming up. School is almost out and we can't wait for summer, my kids have spring fever so bad everyday is a fight to get them to go to school. enjoy all of these post for now it might be another couple of months before I have time to post again.

This is FUNNY

This is a short video of my mother in the crazy cart....Years ago Chris's Grandpa Stauffer and some of his Ag boys made this cart and it is crazy, last year Chris dug it out of some overgrown trees at his Grandparents house and brought it to our house. The kids love it and Chris takes them on rides all the time. We convinced my mom to ride in it and we almost peed our pants we were laughing so hard....ENJOY. This is for you mom we love you!!!!

Tour of the Gila

We went to Silver City, NM after we visited my dads grave on Saturday May 2, and we got to see the annual bicycle race, The Tour of Gila. Lance Armstrong was in it he was wearing black and was #4, I can pick him out of these pictures--he is in the middle of picture 1, he is in the last part of picture 3 and he is in the video. It was cool to see the race, they move so fast. on this day it was on a track all around the down town area of Silver City. We love to eat at the Grinder Mill and it went right in front of it, it was scary crossing the road because they came around the corner so fast.

Short video maybe you can see Lance Armstrong they move so fast I don't know?

Remembering My Dad

On Saturday May 2, 2009 my family went to New Mexico to work on my fathers grave. We filled in holes, replaced rocks and pulled weeds. On april 20th was 16 years since he passed away. It was nice to spend some time remembering him. I miss you daddy.

Katelyn's 1st grade track meet

Katelyn's 1st grade track meet. She did so well. here class came in 4th I think in the class relay race. She did the 50 meter dash. She came in 1st in the ball bounce, and in the Jump rope competitions. She had a lot of fun and we treated her to lunch at burger king. We are proud of you Katelyn.

Katelyn and all her friends.

Barn dance hoo down!!

Emily volunteered to be a dancer for the Barn dance at her school for the kids who play string instruments to perform some of their songs. It was fun to watch and Emily did very well. some of the pictures are not that good. she is in the red western shirt.

Another play at EAC

My kids did another play at the EAC children's theater titled Peter Pan they all did so good. we are so proud of all of them. Emily was a beautiful fairy, Katelyn was a splashing mermaid, and Hunter was a funny little kinda mean pirate, ahoy maties...

They got lots of presents. My friend Beth Green made these beautiful flower birthday cakes, thank you very much. They had a hula birthday party..

All the kids jumped on the trampoline and played in the pool.

watch out for those poles at wal-mart

I am an idiot, I still can not believe that I did this when I look at the pictures...

I was making a sharp turn across the cross walk at Walmart and was looking out for

pedestrians and not for POLES and boom bang wha-La, a minor accident!!

only ME, it could be worse no one was hurt thank goodness.

Easter 2009 on Sunday

We had a Easter get together with Chris's family on Sunday.

The older cousins Adalyn and Dallon hide the eggs. It was so much fun for the kids.

Here are my beautiful children in their Easter clothes. I am not a very good photograaapher because I always get them with the sun in their eyes and they are all squinting. Hope everyone had a great Easter.

Temple Rocks

On Easter sunday our primary children got to sign their names on rocks and then the rocks where put in the foundation of the Gila Valley Temple in AZ. We were so excited and I took pictures of all the primary kids. Here are the ones of my children. This is such an awesome experience for us to have a Temple being built in our valley. We drive out and see the progress every week. Right now it is just dirt work and foundation, but soon it will be so much more, what a blessing in our lives.
