Announcing. . . . . .

Yesterday we found out that we are finally getting our little GIRL!

Christmas is in the Air!

For Family Home Evening this week, I wanted to put up our Christmas Tree and have the boys help decorate it. So Sunday night, Clint and the boys set it up. Then, Clint put all the lights on it.

Thanks hun! Sorry it took so long. We probably should have got the pre-lit tree.

I love this picture!
Look at Troy in the background singing his heart out to Winnie the Pooh!

Carter fell sound asleep watching his daddy do the lights.

My house is ready for Christmas. . . . .now if only my shopping was done or even started!

Fathers and Sons

This year our ward went down to the sand dunes for the Fathers and Sons outing. My boys at the last minute decided to go and boy did they have fun! My dad packed up the 5th wheel and the wheelers and they left for the night.

Clint and Bret packed up all the kids and went for a ride.

Carter loved being buried in the sand!

Jackson, Carson, Carter, Tanner and Troy

Clint saw the kids on the top of the hill and thought "Shari would love to blog this" so he took a picture for me.


Then Tanner came up with the idea to take the dads picture.
Thanks buddy!

It was fun to have a little break from the kids. Hil and I ate dinner at Litza's, had some bad pedicures, got up early Sat. morning and went shopping and then out to breakfast.

Halloween Time

My two cute sister-in-laws and I took the kids up to Daybreak to get their Halloween pictures taken.
This is one of my favorites!
Troy (Darth Vader) Carter (Bob the Builder)
Brooks (Spiderman)
Bentley (Horse) Tanner (Pirate) Benson (Pirate)

The flu bug has made its way through my house this past week. Troy was sick Monday, Carter was sick Tuesday/Wednesday and it hit Tanner last night (Halloween) of all nights. We took the kids out Trick-or-Treating and made it one and a half streets before he wanted to go home because he wasn't feeling well. My sweet Hubby took care of him all night and let me sleep.Thanks so much Clintie!
I hope Tanner feels better soon.
