My sweet little man

This morning I woke up to this:

Tanner made me breakfast. He was on his way upstairs with food when I woke up. What a sweet little man I have. He said since I always make him breakfast, today he wanted to return the favor. He was so excited that he was beaming. Thanks Tanner. Mommy loves you.

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!

My dad, Bret, Clint, Devin, Devin's dad

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.

HaLLoWeEn PaRtY at PrEsChOoL!

Today was the boy's Halloween party at school!
Carter was "Bob the Builder" and Troy was "Darth Vader."

Four-Wheeling at the Dunes!!!!!

We decided to take the kids down to the dunes for UEA weekend. Me and the boys went for one night and then Clint had some of his friends come down for the rest of the weekend. There were tons of people down there for the weekend, so it was nice to come home a little early.


Clint gave these jerseys to the boys the night before we left. They were so excited to wear them that they slept in them that night.

The HIGHS of the trip!

Being with my family!
Watching my boys ride their 4-wheelers
Having great weather during the day
Having a trailer to sleep in
Seeing by boys get excited over everything

The LOWS of the trip!

Having the propane run out during the night and freezing
Forgetting pajamas bottoms to sleep in
Not bringing an axe to chop up firewood
Not having batteries for the lantern
Having soooo many crazy people down there
Being the "poor people" at the dunes

The boys excited to sleep in the trailer for the first time.

Troy not wanting his picture taken.

Carter's first time riding his 4-wheeler at the dunes!

Clint being sweet enough to try and take two boys out at once!
