Yes, I'm blogging!


Oh my gosh, yes it's true, I've finally got my own blog! Thanks to a lot of pressure from friends and family, I've finally decided to get my own blog.


I don't know quite how to start so I'll just jump into it and feel you all in on what's been happening around our home.


We celebrated Savannah's 12th birthday last weekend with a fun backyard Hawaiian laua.





























Yes, what is a party without the Limbo!




























Clay on the BBQ with some yummy hamburgars and hotdogs!















Savannah in her cool new glasses














After a short 5 hour party Savannah was feeling a little wiped out!

For our next big adventure we took Luke to see Thomas the Tank Engine.
He loves trains and especially the Thomas ones.


























Yes we are those sucker parents who buy all the toys in the gift shop cause we can't say no to this kid! This is his new remote control Thomas that he just had to get. And as you can see even the older kids couldn't resist playing with it!














This is Jessica (the one on the far left) with her best friend Kaylie. Don't ask me who this guy is that is with them or why he is posing so gay. Anyways, they just got back on Saturday from EFY. They decided to go to Ricks College in Idaho this year, since they both dislike BYU. That of course was perfectly alright with us, sorry for all of you who like the Y.
I just can't believe I have a kids old enough to go to EFY. It seems like just yesterday I was going with all of my friends! Weird!

Yay, I am the first to comment ever on your blog! So I take it you got my message about how to move the pictures around because you successfully posted your first blog post with pictures!

I am glad you joined the blogging bandwagon. It is a lot of fun and now I will get to see tons of pictures of your family.

I am so happy to know that even though I am down in Texas now, I won't have to miss out on as much of what's going on in you and your family's lives. I really do miss you all. Sunday dinners were the best!

On a different note, I have to put a damper on things and let you know that Ricks College is called BYU Idaho now, so even up there you can't escape that glorious university. Go Cougars! :)

I know it's called BYU Idaho now, but you'll never hear me calling it that! It will forever be Ricks College to me! Cody's laughing at me right now!

Well, I'm glad you started blogging. I'll have to add you to my Sunday blog reading. Eventually, I will give in and start blogging too.
