OUR NEW BATHROOM~

THESE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS MARK HAS BEEN HARD AT WORK! HE DOES SUCH GREAT WORK. OUT BATHROOM BEFORE HAD WHITE TILE WITH WHITE GROUT~ WHICH HAD WAS NOW BLACK! IT ALSO HAD A WHITE TILE COUNTER TOP THAT WAS SO UGLY! I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN MORE PICTURES SO YOU COULD HAVE SEEN.

THANKS BABE YOU DID A GREAT JOB!!

What your Neighbor doesn't have a Hot Air Balloon??

We had just started the remolding of the bathroom and removing the tile from the landing at the front door.. When I went out to get the garbage can and saw that there was a HOT AIR BALLOON at the park up the street. As I watched it I noticed that it was not going very high and that it was tied off. While I knew the Neighbor's(The Bolkes's) had a hot air balloon, then I noticed that there trailer that they keep there balloon in was not home or was there car. So I sent Jordan to the park to investigate!
Sure enough it was the neighbors balloon. So off to the park we went to check it out! well once we got there Dan had decided that he would give people rides. YAHOO! Tanner was too scared but the rest of us went up in the balloon. we didn't go very high but it was still cool! Thanks Bolke's

Here
I am going up!

Not sure how to turn this picture. But mark and Jordan are inside~

Getting out of the balloon!

Ready to go up!

Mark and Jordan!

Brothers!

Not sure how Many people know but I was blessed to be in a family of only Boys!! Yes that's right I only have brothers! Sometimes they Drive me Crazy and Sometimes I don't want to claim them. But I don't know what I would do with out them.
A Little about my Brothers!
My oldest Brother~ Craig is 10 years older than me and is a wonderful man! He is a great dad and would do anything for anyone.

Eric~ is next in line and is 8 years older than me. He is also a Great dad to his daughter! He is a computer Geek~ which comes in handy sometimes! He is my tallest brother~ and the one with the most Hair!
Brian~ Is 6 years older than me and the Brother I see the most. He goes camping with us and is always there to help out with my kids. He is a hard worker, and A great big Furry Teddy Bear!

Matt~ is 4 years older than I. He is a really hard worker and a great dad. He is my brother that always kisses my mom good bye and always lets you know he loves ya. Which is kinda crazy because he was such a wild teenager~ for those of you who know him.

And then there is Justin~ 2 years younger than I~ My Mom said I couldn't be the youngest and the only girl. Don't worry I am still spoiled. Justin and I could always be found together when we were younger. it was always the Brothers and Justin! He is a Great Dad and turning out to be a great Farmer!


My oldest Brother Craig was just diagnosed with Cancer. It was really scary to think that something might happen to him. Lucky for all of us they caught it before it had spread. He will have a nice scar that will remind him that it was there, But I am glad that he is still here! It really makes you think how short life can be. It also made me think how great full I am for my brothers! I know there is a reason I grew up with just brothers~ I can't handle the Drama! I love my brothers so much and I just wanted everyone to know!
Love ya Bro's~

Tanner !

sorry the camera ran out of memory!

Skiing is FUN to do...

I keep telling myself that skiing is fun to do! But so far I haven't found the fun part~ I just think its a lot of work! Mark and Tanner and Jordan all love to ski and Do it so well! I really think I should have learned when I was younger and had no fear at all!! Tanner & Jordan love to go fast and never want the day to end!

I think the part I dislike the most is the going fast! I know right! The fun of skiing is going fast~ I just don't trust that I will stop!

Tanner is not afraid of anything! Here he is going over a jump!

Tanner and I again..Mark was the camera man and Jordan is too good to just stay on the little hill with us! So sorry no Pics of her!

Here we are on the Lift.. I also don't enjoy this part either! I am always afraid my skis will fall or I will fall! Also I hate getting off the lift! I did do pretty good only fell over once getting off and that was thanks to Tanner staying on the back of my skis!

Tanner and Uncle Brian! They enjoy the Lift!

Watch Out!!

I just got this New Gun! Its a 38 special and of Course pink!! I can't wait to go shoot it! So beware I may be packing Heat next time you see me!! I know you are worried!

Salt Lake Temple!

What a Beautiful Picture of the Salt Lake Temple! This year our Family is going to be sealed in the Temple aand We can't wait to be a forever family! I really want to go to the SLC Temple on the same day we were married~ the only problem is that its closed for cleaning so now I have to decided to Go Before Our anniversay or to wait and go at the end of july after our anniversay??? Or should we just go to a different Temple all together?? Oh the Decisions~ good thing I have a few months to think about it!!

Well...

So at least once a week I get on the computer and read my friends blogs.. I love to see all the fun things my friends are doing in there lives~ the good times, the sad, and all the pictures that go along with it~ I always hope that everyone has updated there blog so I can read it... Some times I am dissapointed! ( Jana E.)!! But do I ever look at my own blog that is never up to date??! Thats Right I want everyone else to update and I am not doing it myself! I always have the best reasons.. We haven't done anything worth writing about~ or My I haven't down loaded any pictures of What we have done~ Well the other day I was having lunch with some great friends~ And we were talking about how you can make a blog book of all of your blog and how fun it will be for our kids to look back on all the fun things we did as a family! It's almost like a big Journal! I know that I should really be keeping a Journal for my kids..but since I am not this should count for something!! So Here's to a new year!! I will be better at updating my blog atleast once a week! Hope you enjoy are family blog!
