It's been awhile

January

Derek's parents made a visit!! We went to the Zoo and Celebrated a Birthday...








We had a good time! PLEASE come again SOON...

February

We went Camping at Lake Pleasant for my Brother Chris' Birthday.. I didn't take my camera. ) : We had a great time! We are loving the year round camping..

March
Made a trip to Utah with my sister-in-law, Rebecca, and the kids for spring Break!

I got to meet up with some Good Friends for lunch, Thanks guys! Spend the first weekend with Rich and Jamie and finally meet my cute niece Andelin!! I had a great time.. Thanks again guys!

The rest of the trip wasn't quite what I had planned. My Sweet Grandpa Hreinson got sick and passed away.. I'm SO glad that I was able to be there for so many reasons. It's amazing to think the lord has a hand in our life's and has us in the place we need to be, when we need to be there...
The experience I had will be one I will never forget.. I love you Grandpa!!


Picture taken on my wedding day. Dec. 2002

I did get to see lots of family and also meet my new nephew Zeke.. He SO cute!

April

We got a new roof!! This was a HUGE blessing. We where told before we bought the house that it needed a new roof, so we where going to save and save and save and hope that someday we could buy a roof.. Well, back in October we had a bad Hail storm and later learned that insurance's where looking and paying for roofs so we jumped on board and sure enough they approved our roof! We are being SO blessed.

Before..only picture I could find

After! We also worked hard painting the trim.

And EASTER!!





We had a good quiet Easter... It's always times like this where you miss your family the most.

We had some good friends from California come and visit!! SO good to see them! Thanks for taking the time to stop and see us!!
May

I think will continue to look something like this..


Babysitting!! This was last weekend.. 4 boys, People are learning that I'm home all day and I can't say No. (:
It's so good for Deacon to play and share.... As long as I don't go crazy. ( ;

He loves books!! I'm so glad.. I love to catch him looking at books. We are working hard on getting him all ready for Kindergarten next year.. CRaZy! What will I do.

and probably lots of this...It's Getting HOT








Happy Summer!!

I'm also looking forward to heading to St George in a few weeks to be at Zeke's Sealing!! And the Summer trip to Utah!! Camping, Weddings, and more....

Fun to read an update. I love your house! So very cute and the new roof looks great!! We need new shingles this summer. Wishing we could get them for free!

I feel for your "babysitting" predicament. I often end up with lots of kids here too and it can be quite a blessing or a curse- depending on the day!

Does this mean I'll get to see you again this summer?? I can hardly wait!

Hope you got my email this week. Miss you!

We've been thinking about you guys lately. I hope things are going well. I can't believe your little guy is starting Kindergarten, our Katelyn starts this year too. Have a GREAT Day!
