More Video for Dad

I'll be glad when daddy comes home!

We officially made the move to WA but we left Adam behind for 3 weeks. 3 days has been to much! Adam got a job in Sunnyside WA which is about 40 min from my parents house. I am stationed at my parents until we find a house. We are thinking somewhere in West Richland for those of you who know the area. Here is a little clip for you we love you and can't wait to see you again!

The Kids

It's been a while since I've blogged and my kids are growing up before my eyes! Isaiah was meant to be born first. He is such a great helper and very responsible. I can always count on him when I need something. Sometimes I wonder if I give him too many responsibilities or ask too much of him for his age but he always surprises me with what he is capable of doing. Maddox is our little superhero. It's almost like he lives in an alternate world sometimes. He really believes he has super powers and when he does something amazing like a front flip on the trampoline he will ask ..."did fire come out of my feet that time mom?" I always reply with a simple "yes". Today the missionaries were over here talking about walking on the road and it being really dusty and Maddox said, "you mean pixie dust right?" So cute what can I say? And Ailey, well I have a whole other blog for her since it is her birthday tomorrow but just for now know she is completely adored by all those around her. Enjoy the pics!!!

The kids are modeling their newest creations. For Grants birthday party this year Jenn was in charge of the party favors and I was in charge of the food (of course). So we had a great pool party with all of Grants friends and Jenn decided to have all the kids tie dye shirts for their favors. It was a big hit! They all had a great time and even my kids had a go at it. This was the result. I decided to have a concession stand down at the pool called "Grants Snack Shack" complete with the Benjamin Burger - 1/3 lb burger with cheese, Giant Grant - double bacon chili cheese burger, Teener Weiner - 1/4 lb hot dog, #45 Dog - chili cheese dog, Super Sophomore Nachos, Jillian Burger - veggie pattie with all the fixins, Chips, Cornuts, Soda, Candy, and licorice. The kids really had a good time and plenty to eat!

Broken Ankle What????

This is the picture Adam really didn't want me to take but I couldn't resist. We had already been in the hospital for 3 hours and I was running out of ideas to keep us entertained when I found my camera. So for clarification Adam didn't break his ankle thank goodness it was a dislocation that was diagnosed by you guessed it .... Adam. He insisted on reviewing the x-rays before even the doc looked at them and figured out the problem himself. It was kinda scary though to get that call because usually with Adam when you get those calls it's not something minor. A few facts about Adam. He has had 9 surgeries (if you can name them all you get a prize), and numerous mishaps including just since we have been married, shard of broken glass stuck in his shin from dump run, staple stuck in his eye, and dislocated fingers just to name a few. I love this boy I just wish he would stop hurting himself! By the way this accident happened when he was mountain biking in Tahoe with his brothers Chad and Grant.

The last 5 months

Isaiah in his baseball uniform. He was really excited to play this year.




Isaiah at second base.




I got to fly to seattle in feb to see Erin, Josh, and Eliza. We had a great time and Ailey and Eliza got to do some bonding.



The Evans boys got to take a trip out to Utah to see one of their best buds get married. Congrats Clay! From left to right: Sugar, Clay, David, Adam, and Chad.



More cousin bonding time with Ailey. This is Chloe and Ailey. Chloe was so cute with her the whole time she came to visit. She was the perfect babysitter! She would just take Ailey and I wouldn't here a thing for hours. Thanks Chloe! Can't wait to see you in June.



Isaiah and his best friend Bryson. They had alot of fun doing some face painting this day. Two dragons on Isaiah's face and some sort of fire mask on Bryson's.



Ailey's first ride on the Quad. She actually like it!




Isaiah on Opening day for baseball. He decided he wanted to climb the rock wall which he had never done before. He climbed it like a pro the first time and made it all the way to the top! This kid never stops amazing me.



Maddox and Ailey have been two peas in a pod while Isaiah is gone to school. They watch cartoons together or run errands with me.

Our little family

HOLY CRAP! Sorry it has taken so long to get something posted. We have been doing a lot these past few months but here is a little ditty and some pictures to go with it.




Maddox (4) Isaiah (5) and Ailey (6 months) in this post now she is almost 9 months. Our family




This was our newest lamb at the time, our little farming family on the trampoline





Babe on the left and Zuko on the right, she is going to be having piglets here in the next few months. Let me know who is ready for the best pork ever.





Here are a few of our chickens. We have 36 chickens and 2 turkeys. We used to have them in with the pigs but all 25 last year got eaten by our pigs, no wonder why our pork tasted like chicken.




Our newest addition to the farm, little lamb male born 4-4-2009 he and the mom are doing really well.



Here is our little lamb with my smoking hot prego wife. Number 4 here we come.
