New Carpet......Finally!

We finally have our upstairs finished!!!!! Yay!

Jakes new bedroom!

Stay tuned.........tomorrow they are installing the basement carpet!

Painting!

This is Jake's room! I LOVE how it turned out and the colors! I just did stripes in one corner to add a fun accent! I was going to do a couple more, but they are such a pain in the rear! I was having a terrible time getting the tape to stick to the wall. Anyway, what do you think? Leave me a comment and let me know if you think yes, more stripes, or no leave it alone and don't over do it!

We get carpet on Wednesday!!!!!!! This project has been going on for 2 year now, so I'll post more later! I am so glad to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! We are ALL ready for our house back!

I can't believe I'm posting this horrible picture of myself, but all I have been doing in every spare minute I have the last 2 weeks is paint!!!! The girls have helped me a little, but I'm so picky about it, that they probablly think its easier to just let me do it. Anyway, Ash and I got a little carried away and....well, here you go! Isn't she so cute???? even with Panit on her forehead!

Happy Halloween!

Dr. KillJoy!

Jake the "Fat Woman" -- Mostly just the big boobed gal! lol He said this year "Mom, I want to be a fat lady for Halloween........I can borrow one of your dresses" Nice, huh? Made my self esteem soar! ha ha

Doesn't he have beautiful eyes???? Why do boy's alway's get such long beautiful eye-lashes??

He was sure glad to get out of his dress tonight! I think he found out dressing as a girl sucks!(thank goodness)

It's to early in the year for this much snow!

Jake and Shay posing with the snowman they made today! Ash was helping, but is the picture taker! They said the twigs are his ears ;) ---hummm...strange?

This is a branch off of a big old tree by our house that came crashing down about 6 am and hit the roof! It made a terrible sound......kinda alarming that early! ha ha This picture doesn't do it justice......it's way bigger than it looks. We got about 16 in. of snow and it wasn't very tree friendly........with the leaves still on all the trees, it weighed them down terribly! Lot's of tree damage around here.

The first snow of the Year!

What the heck! It's only the 11th of October and we are haveing a big old snow storm! It's been snowing all day! I think it's mostly just kids that love it! I'm not loving it so much!

Just a bit of advice..........."Don't eat yellow snow"

Shay had volleyball tournaments today! They have had a pretty dissapointing season, but they played great today and won one and lost one......so, with the whole single elimination thing, they only played 2 teams............but, I'm proud of her! She is a great little player!

Ball games ...Ball games.... & more ballgames!

Volleyball & Football is all we do at our house lately!

Ashley played in a tournament a couple weekend's ago and got a medal for MVP!! How awesome is that! Way to go Ash!

Ashley at the net!!

Jake showing off his mouth gard! I took some pictures of one of his football games, but they are played at night and they didn't turn out very good!

Sunday afternoon at our house!

Who doesn't love a Sunday afternoon nap?!!! I couldn't resist getting a picture of these cute little hands!!! How sweet !

My Honey!

Shay and Ash doing Homework and eating chocolate!!! That's the way to get through it! ha ha

Sierra kicking back and eating Nerds!!

The Youth Celebration for the Temple!

This is Shay's group dancing! You can see her in the back left side if you look close! We were along way away and I don't have a fancy close up type of camera!

This was an awesome performance!!! There is no way I can even show it a little bit with a few pictures, but it was amazing! It was so neat for the kids to get to perform in it!

School is Back in Session!!!

Everyone on the first day of School!!!

So, I haven't taken the time to post anything new for a while -- so, I made a few new posts! How is that for catching up! Summer is a crazy, busy time! Fun, but exhausting! I can't fit everything in that I want to do and need to do! As is the same with everyone I know! Anyway, ---Tyra---- here are a few especially for you! Love and miss ya!

Sierra turns 14 today!!!!

Happy Birthday Sierra! Today is her B-day!

What a beautiful - sweetie!

Twin Falls Temple

We went to the Twin Falls Temple open house on Sat. -- If you get the chance to go, you should, because it is one of the most beautiful Temples I've been in! I think it's definately my new favorite! WOW The kids loved it too! It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!

(this isn't the greatest pic of the outside of the temple.....but anyway)

Playing in the water on a hot July day!

I couldn't resist this extremely cute picture of Brody! I love this one! I want to be this excited about little things again!

Is using a watering trough a red neck thing? ha ha

Jakes fort!

Do you remember making forts as a kid? I do! It was fun, and Jake thinks so too! This is his favorite thing lately.......making forts everywhere and sleeping in them! He entertains himself for hours doing this! (It's not so fun for him to fold all the blankets and put all the books away that he uses for weights however!) ;)

4th of July picutres!
