They have a water park, ice skating rink, rock climbing wall, shows, kids adventure classes, there is just so much I can't even begin. This is just awesome! So I shall post again when we get back. Hoyt mate!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSE!!!

This week we celebrated Jesse's 10th birth day!!! Time sure does go by fast! This is him with his award for winning 2nd place in the 50 yrd. dash at the hershey's track meet. To tell you alittle bit about him; He loves Bugs, insect animals ect... One day we found a 3 foot king snake in the yard and he picked it up and kept it in a tank for a day! (and yes, I did freak out!) so for his b-day he's getting a lizard, much better for everybody! He makes friends so easily, it must be the dimples! His favorite saying is chill-ax! (it's chill + relax) his favorite food, pizza and olives. Well, we sure love you and it was sure fun celebrating your birthday!!!!!!!!

MOTHER'S DAY!

Happy Mother' Day! I just had to say, this has been such a wonderful Mother's Day for me! I have really been blessed! I can't believe at times that I have such a big family, yet at the same time I am so grateful that my Heavenly Father has blessed me with so much, He has given me this opportunity and has trusted me with His children! It really humbles me to think of this wonderful blessing. I enjoy being A mother, realizing that my influence is the most important thing to my family, (although I'm not perfect and make mistakes) I will always strive to do my best and be that example for them. I love the saying "Mother's are the very HEART AND SOUL of the family". It is so true!!! I just want them to know that I love them all so--- much! And thank you for making this such a special day for me!xoxoxo

Fun In The Sun

This weekend we thought we would take the family to the lake and try out our jet-ski. These things are so cool! Talk about a rush!!! The kids thought it was the greatest thing ever.The weather was good only 70 degrees outside and I'm sure the water was probably less than 50 (easy), we decided that we would just ride and not get in. Well, right before we left Bill decided to take me on one last ride, and we tipped over! We went into the FREEZING water. I couldn't believe it. I just remember the shock, then pushing Bill in the water so that I wouldn't go under and I started hauling for the ski. He makes fun of me for doing that, but hey, do what you can and save yourself ;)!

MONSTER JAM 2008

This is Monster Jam 2008! It was SUCH a blast! We had the best time. And of coarse, everybody had to take a picture in the Grave Digger! If you haven't noticed yet, I have to do picture grids in order to get the whole family in and not leave any of the kids out. They enjoy seeing their pictures on my blog!

Celeste's Baptizm

This was an exciting day for Celeste, She got baptized!! We are so proud of her! Thanks to everyone for celebrating this day with us!

What A Hand Full!

The kids sure know how to entertain themselves. They enjoy building towers with plastic cups, And climbing the Volcano by our house and having a picnic.

America's Next Top Model!!!

This is Tyler! Some day's he gets a little bored, so he plays dress up and talks to himself. Although he likes to be in-tune with his feminine side, he actually likes to race cars and do "manly" things. :) Tyler, you sure can make us laugh!!

April Fool's!!!

This is what happens when you leave a teenager alone for a couple of hours! Jared and his friends decided to get me for an April fool's joke! They made my house a complete disaster, obviously! They used about 18 rolls of t.p. to create their master piece. This was all done inside the house and they did not miss a thing! As you can see he seems pretty proud of it too, either that or his "big muscles"! Well, when we got home he hid under the table because he thought I would be mad. I actually thought it was so cool! This was the first time someone has done this to my house, well done Jared!!!!!!!!!!!

Family Fun!!!

I love our family!!! It is so much fun to see them have so much fun. They just look so-- cute!!!
