Saturday when Carson and I where done we met my parents to pick up the kids so we could take them to go to the Salt Real game. After we picked up the kids we went and washed the van (at the time there was clear skies). When we started to head down to SL it started to rain, so I told Marcus we shouldn't have washed the car, because it always seems when you wash the car or your house windows it will rain afterward. Once we got down to SL it stopped raining, so we enjoyed ourselves riding the train to the game and walking around getting the kids their little soccer balls. Well once we sat down (we had the best seats ever 3 row in the center of the field) it started to poor rain!!!! We made it about 25 minutes before we headed up to the top to get out of the rain. As we sat there for a minute, until they scored and the rain was not letting up we decided it was time to head back home! On our way back to the train Carson told the boys we will come again next year and hopefully it won't be raining, Marcus said we just won't wash our car before the game next time!!!
Even though we didn't last long, I hope the kids will always remember that we do try and have fun with it!
The pictures and commentary of our Nauvoo trip will be up soon. Get excited! What is this about getting close to a moose and her baby to take pictures? Young lady, if I hear of this again you will go to time out. No seriously, there are a few stories about people in Yellowstone being killed by a momma moose when they got too close to the calf. I learned when I was young to stay as far away from a wild animal, (or farm animal) with their young. I was charged by a cow once. Luckily I was on my bicycle and I was fast.

Marcus
Marcus is 8 years old! He is just about ending his 2nd grade year. He has done so well growing and learning new things this past year. Marcus is also a Boy Scout, we have been working so hard at passing off all of his awards so he can recieve his "Wolf" badage. I love his go get'em personality, it helps him to excel in school and strive to be the best he can at sports. He is enjoying all sports, at this time his lovesare baseball and basketball. Marcus is a great kid, loving life to its fullest! We are so proud of our Marco man!
Alec
Our Alec Mason is 6 years old and going into 1st grade. It is hard for me to think of him being old and big enough to be in school all day! Alec is a great, tender hearted kid who has not eased up on his stubbornness at all! We love him dearly and are so grateful for the light he brings into our home. He is still loving Super Heros, but at this time he is enjoying spending lots of time on his bike, scooter, or running around the neighborhood. Some of his favorite past time activities are: climbing up trees, standing on his head, doing round offs, playing the Wii, trying to take his big brother down! He is great with his little siblings and he is either getting along great with his big brother or is finding anyway to fight with him! He loves to give Payton kisses and hugs and to watch him do things for the 1st time. His favorite sport to play is soccer, but is willing to do what ever sport that people are playing at that time. He is such a special person in our little family, we love him dearly!
Olivia
Princess Olivia is 4! She has been going to Preschool this past year and loves it. For the most part where ever Olivia goes there is sunshine, she is such a happy, talkative, outgoing little girl. She talks a lot, but to her defense it is because she has a lot to say! Olivia is quite the Princess who loves to dance, play with babies, wear makeup, and play with friends. She loves to dance around the house and in her dancing class, she is quite the natural. She loves to hang out with her big brothers and loves to be a little mother to her baby brother. We love our little Sunshine girl!
Payton
Our little Payter is 17 months old!Time seems to be going way too fast... He is such a sweet, happy baby. He is always running trying to keep up with his older siblings. There is a lot of "huhs, head nodding, hand pulling". He doesn't talk to much, but we all know what he needs! He doesn't like to be told no and he is pretty shy when he is around new people. We are so grateful he is a part of our family. We love him so much none of us can get enough of him.
Hudson
You can't forget our little puppy. What an adventure that has been, but a good addition to our family. He keeps us going that is for sure. We lucked out on getting a well behaved dog. We love our little Hudson!
