"Sweet 16"

Hannah had such a wonderful time for her 16th birthday. We took 10 friends to the Mall and had a great scavenger hunt! The boys won thanks to a small prayer by Tim. After the mall we went to Spurwing for dinner. We had a Hummer Limo pick her and her friends up!! Before they got out of the parking lot we could feel the ground shake from the music they were playing. Then the Hummer took her and her friends around Boise to see some sites. (poor driver)

After they returned to the house we had cake and then sent the boys home. The girls stayed and had a spa night. They sat in the hot tub and watched movies until I could no longer keep my eyes open. All in all.....great night!

Hannah and her 15 minutes of fame


We went to the BSU game and Hannah (in the jersey) and her friend Candra were on the jumbotron and I snapped a pic.

His Mine and definitely not ours!!

This is the beginning of our new blog. I have been wanting to start one for some time now and have decided that this was the day. With so much happening in our lives, I can't think of a better way to share with our family and friends all of the changes that are going on. Life is good and so full. Brian and I are blending our two families and it will be official on May 10, 2008.

Let me tell you a bit about our kiddos. Hannah just turned 16 yesterday. Yikes....growing up too fast. Now begins the dating sagas. I would love any advise. If it were up to me, I would just lock them all up until they were 30. Hailey is 14. She is full of life and loves to play the violin. She is also fiesty. It keeps things very interesting. Parker is 8. He was just baptized. He is a bit taller than most his age but my heck....if he didn't eat so much. I don't know where he puts it. He and TJ are staring rookie ball this spring. TJ is 7. He is on only one mode.....fast or faster. I don't know where he gets his energy. He loves to play games and drive his sisters crazy. Brian can't get through the door without TJ hanging on his arm like a monkey. Then there is Payton. She just turned 5. She really is a pistol. She rules the house and will tell you what for. But then she has a very loving side that is almost angelic. Almost is the operative word!!

I hope you enjoy.
