I did it! On the 4th try, I finally filmed it where you can see Kyra! So enjoy the better view.

A small note on my addiction to Twilight...it snowed in the valley last week and overnight there was some rain and cold temperatures...no, no body shoved me out of the way of certain death...the sun was shining, and yes it was like rainbows...sparkling...ohhhh Edward! You are beautiful! (If your not a twilighter...I am sorry!)

Swiming in Jackson

Since we stayed home for Thanksgiving, I thought it would be fun to go to the Rec. center in Jackson Hole. This is a favorite activity as you can see, the kids love it there. We spent a few hours playing, then went to McDonalds drive thru. This is significant because we have no McDonalds in Afton! Then we came back just in time to see the parade of lights. I have the Maverik Truck going by in the picture. All the floats are lit up with Christmas lights and they all throw candy. It was snowing and wet, but the kids went away with pockets full of candy and cold hands. We went home and sacked out early!

Time for kids!

It has been fun with my job and getting ready for the holidays. I just wanted to post this little video of Kyra doing a dance at school. She had learned alot and loves it. I hope you are so happy to see this as I am so happy to share it. I am going to take pictures of Thanksgiving, so my next post should be more fun pictures.

Hey! I found some pictures!

I found these pictures hiding on my camera that has had no battery in 3 months.

Elissa was a most beautiful bride. August 9, 2008 she married David Wilton and is no longer only "my" little sister, she belongs to David too!
We are all so different but all so much alike! I just finished reading "Little Women" and see us three in that book. Who is Joe, Meg and Amy? My mom is definitely Mrs. Marsh!

My first and last bachelorette party! We ate and had a great time watching Elissa make a bridal fool of herself with her wonderful friends.

The boys wanted "blond tips" in their hair, so I bought a box of "blond". Even Brandon got in on the fun. It was stinky. Four boys in the beauty salon de MOM! I love my little men!

My kids are happy... most of the time... I am happy most of the time. I guess that means I am not doing to bad a job. I always wonder all the damage I am inflicting on my poor kids. I hope they turn out OK! This is my man Chad. He is a great dad and loves the out of doors. He is a hunter, fisher and we live in the middle of the mountains which OK with me. The schools are great and the Church is strong here in Star Valley. I am actively trying to convince every one in my family to come out here. See dad...you know you want to come here and watch your grand kids grow up. I have a lot ready for your house right now!! Enjoy... my next blog will hopefully be more interesting and I will have new pictures.

Well, I am turning 35 and I don't feel like I am much passed...27...yea, well okay. I guess I am starting to feel old. My hair is getting gray and I love to go to bed at 9:00 pm so I can watch the news. Sad. My beautiful daughter is almost as tall as me and I can't believe she could be that little baby I held in my arms not too long ago. So I welcome my next year of life... and hope that I will take more pictures of my life that is passing too quickly!
Here are my kids pics that I have taken with my phone camera. Not great quality, but current.

I guess I should use my blog!

Well, its been too long since I did this so thank you to whom ever is still checking on me and my family! This summer flew by with kids and crazy days. August brought Elissa getting married in Florida to David Wilton. And then I started a new job as a Parent Educator in the Parents as Teachers program. I went to St. Louis for a training and am off soon for a training in North Carolina! The job is great because I get to go to houses of young mothers and teach them new ideas and give them info on teaching their kids before they go into school. Anyway, it breaks down to me playing with tiny kids and talking with other moms! Too fun!








Kyra is busy with a dance group and just joined the year book in 8th grade. She is all grown up and beautiful!







Hunter is in 5 th grade and doing well. He loves to discover the world around him and is always looking for a new adventure.

Taylor is in 2nd grade and was just recently kicked by a horse. After a short stay in the hospital, he is back to his whipper snapper self... just a little more warey of horses.

Walker is the man who loves kindergarten! He loves lunch time and recess most and is learning faster than I can believe.


Brandon is turning into a boy these days. Although he is still a little man, his speach has improved like crazy. He is of course the baby, so I
always have more pictures of him than any other kid!

Chad is busy hunting and hunting and did I mention hunting? I love that he always brings a kid or two along with him on his hunts. He is a great dad!
