Andy Graduates

Andy graduated from the fire academy in December. Now all we have to do is find a station that is hiring. They did a demonstration where they fight this fire called the Dragon. You'll have to ask Andy how hot it is. What they did was walk to the fire and back with hoses. I tried to download a video on Andy doing it but I can figure out how, sorry.

The dragon.

Christmas Blessings

It is amazing how Heavenly Father can show you he loves you by doing little things like helping find Christmas presents for my children. So here is what happened to me: We have almost no money for Christmas and I had been wondering how we were going to get my kids gifts this year. Tanner is really into super hearos like batman and superman. Elwyn is really into playing pretend so I wanted to get her these little Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Poop figures. As a side note my sister wanted to get her daughter doll house furniture. Well I went yard saleing and the first place I went to had this 45 gallon storage bin full of ramdom toys. I really didn't want to dig through it so I left. Well the spirit told me to go back. Sad to say I ignored it all morning untill I was done yard saleing. By then I couldn't ignore it anymore so I went back. The spirt said to look into the bin. So for 30 minuets I knelt on the cold conceat with my big pregnant belly and dig. You'll never guess what I found. All the super heros I wanted to get Tanner, the Mickey mouse and Winnie the Pooh set I wanted for Elwyn. All the doll furniture for my sister. While I was digging I put together all the toys set that were in pieces in the bin. So the lady let me fill up a whole bag for $2.00!

But I am not done yet. The lady next door to this yard sale was also haveing a yard sale and she was so impressed with how good Elwyn was (I had to take her with my) That she gave here this littlest pet shop cat for free and she said I could pick any little pet shop figure I wanted the 25cents. So I got a few. I went home and told my mom this experience and she told me that my Aunt was giveing her a littlest pet shop house and That Elwyn culd have it for Christmas. (I went back and got more little pets).

So I was able to get everything I wanted for my children for Christmas for less the $5.00a all because I listened to the spirit and went back. It is so good to know that Heavenly Father loves my little family enough to help us with something as small as toys for Christmas.

Happy Halloween

Tanner and Elwyn were so excited for Halloween. Elwyn wanted to be super girl and
Tanner was a bat.



Haveing fun carving pumpkins with Daddy.


Elwyn was too cute at each door she would say "tiek o teet"(trick or treat) than when they gave her candy she said "appy alloeen"(Happy Halloween). Tanner was great he stayed with the group, waited his turn, and said thank you at every door with out being promted.

It's a Boy

Our next will be a boy, due in March. It has been 4 years since we had a boy so any clothes donations would be great.

Diapers and Back packs

We do school time at home with Tanner. We are getting him ready to go to school this next August. So I loves struting around the house wearing his school bag.

Elwyn is trying to daiper her kittys. When I asked her why she was puting medicine on their bottoms (The container was sealed) she said " Kitty have scratchies". Which means the kitties have mosquito bites.

New Baby

This is the 4 month old baby we watch three days a week. His name is Kellen and he is the most low key baby I have ever met. He only fusses when he is hungery or poopy. When he wants to sleep he just rolls over a goes to sleep where he is and he doesn't like to be held so he plays in the play pen while Elwyn fans over him.

Elwyn Turns Two

This is Elwyn tying out her new shoes dress up shoes from Daddy. She loved having all her friends and family over. They played outside and had hot dogs and french fries, Elwyn's two favorite foods. Thank you to everyone who came and thank you to Grandma Copping for sending her a gift card. We were not able to afford to buy anything so I made Elwyn a doll. Then we got Grandma Copping's gift card in the mail so I was able to get her some things she really needed and some magic baby doll bottles for her to play with. She loves her dress up stuff and changes her accessories at least once a day. And she loves her new baby . She feeds it when ever I feed our new baby Kellen.Almost all the kids that came from the back left: Mac, Tanner, Caleb, Joseph, Easton, Cody, (round the corner and to the front) Melanie, Zack and Alexis. I am sorry there are only pictures but for some reason my computer wont let me down load the video.
