Ok so as I sit here and type this late at night I realize I haven't made a real post in well over a year. Well, this won't really be a real post either. No updates or pics or anything exciting like that. I do feel I should write something though. Travis has been gone the last three days with the 15 and 16 year old scouts at Bear Lake. I really don't like going to bed by myself so I have had plenty of quiet time to think. The last several months have definitely been a trial for our family as well as a growing experience. As of today, Travis still does not have a job and we have no idea what the future holds for our family. But I don't write this to complain or to gain sympathy. What I feel tonight is a deep sense of gratitude. I am so thankful for the the many friends and family in our lives. For all your thoughts and prayers on our behalf. We have felt of your spirits and know of your love and concern for our family. For that we are truly blessed. I personally have been blessed to have a reaffirmation that our Heavenly Father is mindful of me. I am so grateful for the Lord's tender mercies, for a sweet friend who listened to the whisperings of the spirit and touched my heart forever. We truly have the most important things in life that money could never buy. We love you all so much.

Sweet giveaway(s)!!!

Yes I am posting again, but it is for another giveaway. The ladies at infarrantly creative and The Idea Room are BOTH giving away a Silhouette Craft Cutter to one of their readers. (Please let it be me!!!) This is one thing I didn't want to pass up the chance for. (even if it is a slim chance) So, If you have never been to either of these blogs you should go take look around. These ladies are SUPER talented.

So I know you are asking what in the world has brought me out of blogging hibernation. Well, I'll tell you. Crafty Decor Chick is having a most awesome giveaway, and I would so LOVE to win. She is giving away a Silhouette craft cutter. I have been dreaming of getting one of these so maybe here is my chance. Go check it out and wish me luck.

Congratulations Kaylee!!!!!

My baby girl graduated from Kindergarten on Friday. She is growing up so fast. Before I know it she will be graduating from High School. YIKES!!!!!

Kaylee and Conner, a friend from the ward.

Kaylee was too fast grabbing her diploma. All I got was the back of her head.

Can you guess who this is?? And no, I did not turn the pic upside down.

I just found this picture from our trip to Disneyland. This is Tyler on California Screamin'. He says he isn't sure if he really liked it or not. What do you think??

Yes, I know, it's about time I updated this thing. I can't believe how fast time goes by these days!! It seems like I get in my everyday routine of trying to get everything done and before I know it another week has gone by. Unfortunately life won't be getting any less busy for awhile. Baseball season is just getting underway and Travis wil be coaching Tyler's team this year. So there will be lots of practices and games to worry about for the next couple of months. Hopefully the weather will be a little more cooperative than is has lately. School will be ending soon though so that will give a little relief.(I hope!) The pics that I posted are from about Christmas until just a few weeks ago. Most are birthdays and holidays. There are some random ones of Jake and Austin though since they haven't had any birthdays. I can't believe how fast they are all growing up!!
