This is what makes life so wonderful

Ok, so there are a few of you that have asked me to update my blog. I know I've slacked majorly in the blog department. I always felt that no one ever looked at it but I was wrong. So I'll do better. :)

So after the worse delivery experience in my life I finally had my handsome Kaizen. He was perfect and still is. He might have been my worse delivery but he is by far my best baby. I am very grateful for him and the power of the priesthood that got me through it all.









K, so I'm not very good at this blog thing. This pic is from the day he was born and the first is the newest. I couldn't figure how to switch them around.

Vance had a hard time walking after this one. This is why
adults are not suppose to do things like sledding. I don't think that we can
recover as well as the kids.

On Christmas Eve we went sledding with Steve and his family.

There was a jump that everyone had a fun time going off.
This is Adrian.

Natalia and Ben even got in on all the action.

Vance is such a good big brother. He always helps out!!

Adrian is just a cutie!!!

Hailey had fun but after going off the jump on accident
she wasn't very thrilled to go down anymore.


We let the boys hang up the stockings this year.
They found nails that the last owner had left in
the walls and just used their hands to push them into the sheetrock. They had a lot of fun hanging them with
no adult help or guidance.







We had 4 santa hats so Vance put a Christmas bad on his head for the picture. And Natalia put an unused stocking on her foot.
































This is one of the few pictures I have of Natalia
without her cheese smile. What a cutie!!!

Here is my Halloween pics. Natalia was Snow White. Her makeup wasn't that bright in person, although it sure is funny in the pic. When we dressed up for the school parade she wouldn't dress up as anything put she did well with staying dressed up for trick-or-treating. :)










Adrian and Vance chose their costumes from when I did that monster mash video. If you remember that where I put the kids heads on the monsters that danced around.









Here I am with my little princess.






Here is everyone just before we left to go see old
Grandpa in our costumes. Adrian was not very happy










Adrian was a warewolf.










Hailey was a pink rock star.











Vance was a mummy.































Saidy was Tinkerbell.

For FHE we made this hunted house.


Vance was eating the black
frosting and black candy.






We carved pumpkins on Sunday after church. Each kids got to carve one. Thank you Saidey for choosing the old fashion face that you draw and cut out. The others took forever to trace and then cut out. But they turned out really cute.







Vance got shot in the head and was being silly.






Adrian got the camera and wanted to make sure he got a picture of everyone.







Sweet little Hailey coloring the last pumpkin so that we wouldn't have to carve it.







George came to help out and got hungry and thought he would try the pumpkin guts. YUCK!!!!


















Natalia didn't really like the feel of the guts but cleaned her own pumpkin better the the most of the kids.

















Thanks to Vance we were able to clean out everyones pumpkins. Adrian didn't even stick his hand in once he was sooooo grossed out. But that is so my Adrian. Vance helped everyone else clean theirs out before he even finished his. He is such a great big brother.



We went to the sand dunes in Plano a couple of weekends ago. It was soooooo much fun, we had races up the hills, rolled down the hills and even tried to make a castle.






Here is all the kids minus Victoria. After the pic they all took of somersaulting backwards down the hill. They had so much fun.





























This is Hailey, Natalia, and Jensis.








Hailey and Jensis made each other into mermaids.


























It is such soft sand. It is great to play with.







The best part about the whole trip was that I got my van
stuck in the sand. Mike had to come and pull me out. LOL
