UNLV vs BYU

This was a good game! Of course we always enjoy going to the games

but at this game we had a lot of friends & that is always fun to see people

you know at the game.

This is Chris & Sara pre-game, Sara was selling calanders near the

entrance so we took a photo op! This is Chris & I before the game...We are both sporting our UNLV red.

**note...I am wearing Sara's sweatshirt! Yeah me! Thanks Sara!

Braces off/retainers on

Monday, Taylor got her braces off! Yipee! She picked up her retainers on Thursday. She is very happy about it. Now we have 2 left in braces, Tony & Rachel. We were joking with Tony saying that Rachel was going to get her braces off first. Well...Sorry Tony it looks like that is actually happening. Rachel gets her braces off at the next appt. Congratulation Taylor! Keep smiling!

Tony passed!

Hooray, Tony passed (2-14)the written test and he got his learns permit in the mail! Beware drivers I now have 3 boys driving with learners permits!

Welcome Home Emery!

Emery came home from the hospital on Monday. Grandma Jane, Grandpa Monty & I went to see him on Tues. He is so precious. He is just over 5 lbs. He is so little. Here he is with his momma (Amanda), and Noah is checking him out, Brooklyn is in the back ground.

A day of Love!

I have the sweetest husband...EVER! He sent me 3 dozen roses & he gave me a beautiful necklace (Lia Sophia), for valentine's day. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful man as my husband.

He also bought all the kids a valentine heart, with butterfinger candy hearts in them! Yum!

I hope everyone has a Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

Time keeps on slipping, slipping into the future...

Sometimes it is hard to believe that all my babies are teenagers now! Where did the time go? I remember people saying that they grow up in a blink of an eye...back then I did not believe it. It is true. They grow up way too fast. So, if you are a reading this and your children are still small cherish every moment...because soon they will be grown!

Sitting: Chris, holding Rachel & me.
