Every night, we tuck Raider into his

bed and we find him on the floor

in the morning...He is so strange.

Third Grade!!!!

 First day of third grade! I am not sure who was

more excited, Me or Aspen. I love having

my days with one less kid. I am also looking

forward to relearning my times tables with Aspen.

Ball

 Aspen went to a King and Queen ball

with her uncles!! Because of the rain it was

a short evening. They still had a fancy dinner

and awesome face paint. Aspen loved

how her dress flowed on the stairs as she

walked down them.

Hoble Creek Half Marathon

This was my first time running the Hobble half, it was tough.

There were lots of rolling hills. When I saw the hill at mile

eleven, I almost cried. My time was 1:48:11. An 8:15

minute mile. I came in 11 place in my age group and

317 out of 1,800 people overall and 141 in my gender placement.



 On our way home from Arizona we stopped

at an Indian jewelry store. It was quiet amazing

at the stuff these people make.

Arizona

 My Uncle and Aunt/Mark and Debbie are going

on a mission to Leeds England.

 My Mother and Kids on the car ride to Arizona.

More Framing

 Trent and his mini-me/shadow/side-kick just

hanging out.

 Our first walls coming up on the main floor!!

 If Raider is not out side "helping", he has to be watching

all the men working. Raider has loved the construction.

 Trent took out one door and moved it

to the back, where it goes right out to our patio.

 Our house started to look like a house when the

trusses were put on.

Framing is almost done!!!

Arizona!!!!

 Gunner A., Bronson M., Raider and Aspen T., Jolie M., Hunter A.,

Bowman A., Saige A., and Faye M., 

 While in Arizona, Tawni, Amberly and I took our

kids to a movie and the pool.

 My kids and I stayed with Amberlys family so Aspen 

and Jolie got a lot of play time in.

Suzy, tawni, Amberly, Lindsey and Bobbi

 Cousins, dinner, games. treats, laughs and no kids...

what could be better?

Mark and Debbie (Debbie is my moms sister) Are going to

England on a 12 month mission. My kids and I hitched

a ride with my mom to go to the farewell. It was so nice to see

my extended family, its been seven years since I have been to Arizona!!
