To celebrate his birthday we took the family camping. No, it wasn't a nice hotel or anything luxurious like that but it was fun. Enjoying the outdoors, river, dirt and campfire and all. Camping always is a big job when you have 4 kids but I always find a few moments of where I feel like it's worth it. If anything the kids absolutely love it. We went with our neighbors the Smith's, Dearden's, Wiseman's, Hansen's. So much fun! One thing I learned..... I want a really good tent- that's big enough for all of us!
and I also learned.... without John I don't think I could go camping. I hope John knows how much I love him and how much I need him. My life is better and complete with him. Happy birthday and I love you!
I can't believe this little boy is 9. It's seems like yesterday he was born, but then again it seems so long ago he went through so much we went through so much so much was learned on both ends I'm sure It was so hard it still is hard but I would never change it not for anything McKay brought such a gift with him the love that came with him is never ending I felt it the second he was born a treasure I will hold forever thank you McKay for that special gift You will always be my special son
After her dance review we ate at McDonalds My sister Tara, G-ma Leah, G-ma Linnea and my Cousin Dana all came to watch Hannah! Thanks for coming you guys- your so supportive! We had a fun visit. This was the night Tyler learned to eat a whole cheeseburger...or two!

April 29, 2009 WICKED is in town, and Emalee surprised us!! For John and I it was our second time and for Emalee and Matthew it was a first. Since the day John and I flew to Denver with some friends a couple years ago to see it, he has patiently waited for this day. We all were very excited. I would have to say it was even better the second time around. I loved every moment of it!
Date night with Kendall and Emalee celebrating her birthday. Sushi is her favorite.... we thought we would give it a try. We both were a little nervous but guess what.... We LOVED it!! Without their help we would have no clue what we were doing!
