Helping Jenny and Derek!!

We left our vacation a little early sowe could help Jenny and Derek move into their New Home.










They have a beautiful home.
Eli was trying to help with everything most of it was to big or heavy for him, but he sure put alot of effort into helping.

They had lots of help soo the loading the truck and unloading the truck went very quickly.

We then let the kids go to Ali's and play together while we helped put things away and helped set up what we could to help.

We love the house and are lookin forward to visiting again.

Bear lake!

This year we went on a little vacation for Christmas time.

We had a lot of fun sledding, swimming and playing games.




Although even on vacation there is still work to do.
Coby wasn't very happy about this part of the trip.


Eli didn't want to leave.
It was a great break from everday life and a lot of fun being able to swim whenever we want.

Family Fun!!

Leo's Place

We all got together and had a ton of fun with the play place and the laser tag.

This was a great thing for all of us to do together.

I really enjoyed getting together with everyone and letting all of the kids run and play.

What number is for who!

For the last few years we have used numbers on all the presant to keep the kids from knowing which presant is their presant. This also keeps them from messing with them.

They started writing down any number they could see to try to figure out what the code was foe each kid. This is good entertainment for us as the parents.

Coby was elected to write down the numbers!

Eli loves to comb his hair!

Eli loves to comb his hair. He is very funny. He runs in to the bathroom combs his hair and then comes out and showes it to all of us.

This is one of his favorite ways to comb his hair.

Happy Birthday Will!!

Will wanted us to make him a cake. We spent the night before at Grandma and Grandpa Tabors. We all arrived back at home late thenight before, so I made him the kitty litter cake.
Headed back to grandmas the next day for lunch.
Bryce decided to cover the cake with a paper towel so he could make a sandwich. The cake looked to real for him to be able to eat while it was sitting on the counter.

We all really enjoyed the cake and the family fun.

Devons has glasses!

Devon has to wear glasses. He was so excited to get them.
I think he looks so cute with them on.

Apples! Apples! Apples!

Thanks to moms friend Audrey we were able to pick apples to make pie filling.











The boys and I went and picked apples for about an hour. We filled the back of the Danali. I was glad it only took us an hour to get more than enough apples.



















With lots of work ahead of us the boys jumped right in and started helping. Eli loved running the peeler.

















We worked for a couple of days to get all of the apple pie filling made. Thanks to a lot of hard work from all of us involved. The pie filling turned out delicous.



look at all of the full jars! Yummy!

The cheese balls are finally all gone.

I think grandma J and Eli really enjoyed them. Eli wants to keep this container.

Devons last football game!

This is the award Devon earned at the last football game. He is looking forward to next year.

He wants to play tackle football really bad.



That is all he talks about.

First snow of 2011 !!

This was the first snow of the season. We only ended up in about 1 inch of snow.

Grandma and I were the only ones home.


Cad took all the boys for the weekend to go hunting with his dad in Nebraska.

They were a little sad the missed the snow but we all know how it snows here we will have plenty of snow before we know it.

Devon playing flag footbal !!

This is one of Devon's football games.

He really enjoyed playing and is wanting to keep playing.

Eli's Birthday!!

Eli turned 6 years old this year.
Beau the great big brother made him pumpkin pie.

Devon's mess

The night before my surgery: Devon was suppose to be taking a shower. Instead of taking a shower he decided to make a mess.















He then had to clean it up.





Is the house going to survive 6-weeks of the boys cleaning while I am taking it easy?

The Fair!!!

This year I helped hang the quilts.

These are some of the quilts I really liked.



Mom entered Eli's puppy quilt This is it.




I also like some of these quilt.











We ran into David and Laura these are the some of the things Will bought at the fair.
