So long old friend...

So I drank my last Diet Pepsi today! I am trying to stop drinking caffeine and I'm way sad about it. I love my Pepsi! I always quit with each one of my pregnacies but as soon as I stop nursing I'm right back to drinking it. No, I'm not pregnant. I just want to be healthier and teach my kids to eat right so I'm starting here. If anyone has any words of encouragement I would love to hear it. I'll keep you updated on my days sober from Diet Pepsi!

Rolling it Redneck style!

So we know how to do Halloween here in Idaho. Hook a trailer behind the 4 wheeler! For once it wasn't below zero here so I actually enjoyed riding along with the kids. My kids thought it was best thing to be able to walk up to people's doors and get free candy.

Since my kids aren't in school I decided to join Jace's family for UEA weekend in Bicknell Utah. Jace surprised me by coming down even though it was opening weekend of the Elk hunt in Idaho. Now that's true love!! We had so much fun 4 wheeling, cooking good food, and playing Farkel until 2 am. I am so blessed to have married into such a wonderful and fun family.

Zak didn't make it very long on one of the 4 wheeler rides.

I love all the poses in this pic!

My cute little Zaky Zak. He hates to wear his hat but since he has chronic ear infections and now has tubes I am constantly shoving a hat on his head

Okay so my Conner is only 3 but Jace swears he's going to a pro by the time he's 4!

This is my Nephew Porter. He is 3 and so stinkin cute!

My sister-in-laws are all so beautiful. I am so grateful for all the love and support they show us.

Thanks Steph making it thru the 8 hr trip back to Idaho with 6 kids!

My Brother-in-law Nate took us on a 3 hr four wheeler ride through the beautiful mountains. Conner was the youngest one to come and he didn't complain once. He loves this kind of stuff. He even wore his helmet the whole time. I am so proud of you my little buddy!! Thank you Steph and Sara for watching Zak.

It makes me sad that Zak wasn't here to be in the picture but there's no way he would of made it.

Since it was opening weekend of the Elk Hunt we figured we better wear orange so no one shot at us!

Viking Football

I had so much fun watching my nephew's Truxton and Dillon play tackle football. They are the cutest in their uniforms. Sorry Cavemen, my Nephews have turned me into a Vikings fan!

Zak's trip to the Emergency Room.

Zak fell when he was trying to get out of the bath last night and hit his mouth on the toilet. So we spent two hours in the emergency room. It was so sad they held him down with a blanket so they could put 6 stitches in. I was in tears. I'm sure this is one of many trips to the emergency room though with me having two boys so close in age.

We are ready for Halloween!

I love that smile!

Zakary could honestly care less that I dressed him up. He's much to busy playing with his phone.

Utah Trip

I went to Utah this weekend to babysit my sister Kim's kids while they attended a wedding a Cali. It was crazy busy but we had fun.

This is all the little chitlins on my side. As you can see the boys outnumber the girls. We'll see if I have any hope of having a girl someday.


This is my niece Madelyn. She belongs to Jeremy and Janelle but I want to steal her for a while. She is such a doll. It's taken me two years to get her to like me and now we are best buds!! She thinks my name is Conner though.

We took the little ones to Thanksgiving Point while the older kids were in school. As you can see Zak wasn't very happy about sitting on the bear. Little Maddy surrounded by all these boys! She's pretty fiesty though and I wouldn't bet against her in a fight against any of them.

Big Slumber Party!!

Can I handle and love six kids?: Yes. Do I want six kids?: No Way!!
