All in a Day's Work......

Corey and I were busy today...after we got our morning water changed we decided to get our planting done. We planted nearly 800 little tiny plants. What fun we had...well Corey did...he said he couldnt get enough of it. I laughed so hard. Im sure glad he had fun and Im really glad that we got all our little plants in the ground because they are going to be happy in this nice rain we are having :)
Thanks Corey...you are the greatest helper ever!!!!(oh yes....Corey has a great farming outfit on doesn't he...his laundry is a very small pile)

Time out for fun.....

We seem to take a lot of time out for fun yes...but well...we also do a lot of work so I guess we try to stay level.....who doesn't need a break every know and then. Our kids are great workers and we love to have fun with them too. We appreciate them a lot and how hard they do work for us. Saturday night around 5 we headed over to Pickle Butte for a little riding. We had a fantastic time...a few crashed..Heather got thrown of her 4-wheeler...she doesn't remember a whole lot about it...but then...this probably would be normal anyway..hehe Heather :)Craig crashed his motorcycle while jumping...got a little shaken up but after a short rest was right back at it. He is getting to be a great rider. Fun was had by all and we are so blessed to have such a great family!!! Oh yes...and JT, a great friend of Heathers came with us too. He is a ton of fun to have around and an amazing worker too. Thanks JT for spending time with our family!!! Here goes the picture overload :).....
Just one small part of Pickle Butte...a motorcycles riders heaven...the kids thought it was great...trails that never end..............










Craig is gettin pretty good and loves to jump!!!!

Amber was riding Clints bike since she fried her motor a while back. She did pretty good considering it is much heavier than hers...she is getting stronger from her surgery everyday...we were glad she was feeling stong enough to come!



We have to end the night with some crazy stuff and we are plenty crazy :)


Stuff all loaded and ready to go! One last jump with everyone!!!

Now back home and we had to have a bonfire!! Fun times on a great summer night!!

Happy Anniversary....

May 14 was Clint and I sixteenth wedding anniversary. Crazy to say that we got married during the most crazy time of the year for us. There was only one time that we both forgot. We were frantically working in the peony field and Ken (Clint's Dad) came out and said, "Well Happy Anniversary you two!" We both looked at each other and started laughing. We have truly enjoyed these 16 years together. Have had some FUN FUN times. We try to keep life exciting and are completely involved with our kids lives. That is what we do!! There is always something entertaining going on here and if there isn't there soon will be!! We love life and love each other!! We are so blessed!!! Happy Anniversary Clint!!!
So on this day he called and said he was going to Jordan Valley and would Corey like to come along...Corey was elated and could hardly wait for him to pick him up. I was left with very quiet house to myself and was able to clean a bit...it was great!! Sorry the pictures are a little blurry..it was from my phone cause I realized I hadn't brought my camera when we met up. They are still fun!!!

California time....BPA Nationals!!!!

It is already time for California....thank goodness Amber was able to go. She did very well and rested when she needed to. We had a great time and enjoyed the amazing weather. I am so glad that I got to go and have a great time with her. I am so proud of her and her many accomplishments. She is so well-rounded and enjoys life. I am so happy for her. She competed in two events. She didnt place but I know she did a great job. We really did enjoy ourselves!!!!

Prom 2010

Amazingly less than a week after surgery here is beautiful Amber going to Prom. We are so thankful she was able to go and have a good time...she did sleep the whole next day though :)...thats OK

Ambers NOT Fun Experience.....

Amber has been having some troubles and her blood count has been dropping....She was so pale a couple Friday nights ago and had no energy I decided to take her to the ER. Luckily, with the strong encouragement from Bishop Kraupp:), she reluctantly went in. When we got there the ER doctors knew immediately she needed blood. Her levels were at a 5 and she should be at 14-15. She had lost 2/3 of her blood. So they gave her 3 units of blood and sent her to downtown St lukes to the Pediatrics. Troy and Richard came and gave her a blessing which really helped!!! Clint was in Nevada, of course!! She was real brave throughout this whole ordeal. She was put through many test all day Saturday. Sunday she felt much better and was getting back to her old self. Monday she had surgery which was successful but found more that needed to be fixed which will require a couple more surgeries later. We are thankful for all the wonderful doctors that helped her...St Lukes in the greatest. We are also thankful for all of Ambers great friends and family that supported and prayed for her the whole time.....she is a very special girl to us and she has some amazing friends...thanks everyone!!!!!

Are we there???

Just love this picture so had to through it in...he is such a patient boy with all the running around I do and dragging him around.

Easter 2010

Pine Wood Derby 2010

Pine wood Derby time already!!!! Corey made a car this year too and raced it...he won everyone even Craig after it was over. He was happy. Craig got 2nd place and had a great time!!!

Shot time.....

So there was a health fair that was giving free shots so we took a break from our morning weeding one Saturday to take Craig and Corey. Craig was so great because he wasnt due for any shots but they said there was one he could get or wait till June and get it....after Corey got nervous he told the nurses he thought he should get the shot to help Corey be brave. the nurses couldnt believe Craig and thought he was an amazing brother and I would totally have to agree!!!!

Farm Work Begins!!!!

Spring Break fun....

Spring Break was interesting this year...Amber went to California, Clint and I went to Oregon, and Heather was amazing enough to stay home with Corey and Craig spent the whole week at Christoffersons. We were definitely spread different ways but had a fabulous time.
