Spring Break!!!

Today was the first nice day we have had in a week, and it's the girls Spring Break.
So we decided to spent the day outside enjoying the sun, and each other.

So here is a photo gallery of what we did.........

Erika and Kyndra

It's so nice to see your kids be kind to each other, and not beating each other up......

Oh never mind!

Erika trying to fly.....

We had such a good time enjoying each other and the sun.....

Easter Egg Hunt

We had our traditional Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday at grandma and grandpa Scovill's .

Tae got the hang of it right way, and took several people with him on his adventure,

the Easter Bunny was very good to him this year.

Brandi and Erika have to find their Easter baskets with a scavenger hunt with clues like,

What keeps Grandpa from smelling funky? answer..... The shower.

OR.

What makes a humming noise? Keeps the inside cool? But stays outside?

answer..... The air conditioning unit.
AND.

Go to the white haired Super Women.
(that would be the amazing Grandma of course)

But as you can see it all worked out for them in the end as well.

The Easter Bunny must love them too.

Kyndra got her truck going for Easter. Yes she is on the roads people so look out!
Side note: I'll have to show you pictures of her truck on the next blog.

It is a beauty!

But as you can see it was a great day had by all. Great Grandma even felt good enough to come and join in on the craziness. Its so nice to get to spend time as a family, to love each other, and feel our Saviors love for all of us on such a beautiful day.

Starting Over

It has been a crazy couple of months.
we lost the computer to a virus, but we are back... and better than ever.
Our ward spilt so George and I got new callings. He is now an adviser in the young men's and I am now the second counselor in the relief society. So we have been very busy.
The girls are still running around being teenagers, and Tae is a pain in my left check.( and I don't mean the one on my face)
because I have to leave Tae a lot more to go to meetings and such he has become very codependent.

Kyndra is now getting her GED because she didn't get enough credits to graduate.


Brandi is kissing her first boyfriend.......

and Erika has turned into a TEENAGER she starting reading the Twilight books at Thanksgiving and has now read them ALL three times each. She now has posters all over her walls, and wears a T-shirt with Edwards picture. She has lost her mind.

I think I need a vacation!!!!!!!

who need's make-up

For Christmas this year Tae got a toy from all his favorite action hero's.

Well because he doesn't want to play alone I have become the best action hero playmate, and so for the last few day's I have looked like this....

I mean really,

who needs make-up when

you can look this cool.

Christmas Time what a Wonderful Time

Well once again Santa came and dumped his sled at our house.

Every other year we get to have George's girls for Christmas, and when we do its just that much more crazy fun at our house. And this year was no exception!

We enjoyed a great night Christmas Eve at grandparents Scovill's, but there was a different spirit this year, normally we would have grandpa read the birth of the Savior out of the bible and the girls would dress up and act it out, but this year the girls thought they we're getting to big to do that so we had one of my father's spiritual lessons as he read from the bible and I think that we all learned more about our Savior that night. It was awe inspiring to sit and listen to my girls asking questions and watching their eyes light up when the spirit answered them.

We always have pj's to open Christmas Eve, a grandma tradition.

Just as we were getting ready for bed I told the girls that we would wake-up as a family whenever Tae got up and if anyone woke him up before he was ready I would beat them with a Christmas tree ornament. So I went to bed thinking that I could sleep until at least eight o'clock. But my father, after waking up, shoveling his snow, and driving my mom crazy waiting for us to call him for what (to him) seemed like hours, decided he could no longer wait another minute and came to my house ringing the door bell till he had managed to wake the entire house hold at seven o'clock.

Here are some of the memorable moments of Christmas morning.

We had such an amazing Christmas, I feel blessed and my heart is full.

It's begining to look a lot like christmas

We had are first real snow storm of the season this weekend,
and now it looks like Christmas really is just around the
corner.

It is so pretty when it first snow's and you think "oh how beautiful it looks".

That lasts for about a day then I'm saying

"I hate this snow"! "Its to cold"! "I want to move"...

So before those thoughts come into my mind, I thought you all might like to see the real beauty of it all... It really is pretty isn't it!!

for his a jolly good fellow!

We went to my dad's house last night to celebrate his 75th birthday, and have been thinking a lot about him this morning.

So I just thought I would write some of my thoughts down.

My Dad is an amazing husband and father. He is the true meaning of unconditional love that I have ever witnessed. He is so loving to all those who he comes in contact with every day.

He honors his priesthood and is an example to my husband who is really new to all of that, and I watch him guide George with out saying a word sometimes.

He fills a room just by walking into it, with his sunshine smile and laughter.

He has been there for me and all my family thought thick and thin, and never says anything negative, he just helps you though whatever it may be till you feel good about yourself again and can move on and then gives you all the credit.

His is a man of his word, I have never seen a guy walk out of a store without paying for something because they forgot their wallet except for my dad.

I am honored to be his daughter, I just keep hoping that some day he will rub off on me.

I was so glad to be there for him last night, and each day that we spend with both him and my mom is so spacial to me, I love living so close to them and getting to spend as much time with them as I do, and my children love being so close to them as well, if we don't go see them at least once a week grandpa is calling to make sure everyone is okay and doing good and I feel loved that he cares so much.

So on this day I would just like to pay turibute to the man of the hour and tell him again,

Happy Birthday Dad.
