What do you think?

 Bryce and Jacob 6 Days apart.


 Bryce and Elyse  1 month apart.


Bryce and Roman 3 months apart.

Family Pictures

 Chloe is doing Kathryn's hair before hand.  She is in cosmetology school right now and cut Kathryn's hair the next day.   it was so fun to see these girls!
 Aunt Savannah
  ALL 22 Grandkids with Grandma and Grandpa!

 Melissa couldn't make it.  but here we are with my dad in a wheelchair.  He had back surgery in May and fell a few times and is now just barely able to get up with is walker.  
 All the girl grandkids.  I didn't get a good shot of the boy's but our family is even.  11 girls and 11 boys!

Fit Bit Challenge

I got a fitbit for mothers day and I LOVE IT.  shortly after I got it Village Green Network did a fitbit challenge to get 10,000 steps everyday for 6 weeks.  I entered.  I had to send them a picture and my measurements  at the start and then again at the end of the 6 weeks.   The first 5 weeks were great.  I only missed 2 days out of the whole 5 weeks and then we went on vacation and I missed all those days but 2.  So I did basically 5 weeks and missed the last week.  Anyway in the process of all that I lost 3 lbs, total of like 4 inches off my waist, hip and arm and down a dress size.  I thought I did pretty good.  So I sent in my after stuff and waited and waited and waited.  I didn't hear from them.  SO I thought it was a bust.  I didn't win.  but a few days ago I'm just looking at their website and come across the post for FITBIT Challenge Winners.  So I take a look and to my surprise my picture is there for 1st prize.   I couldn't believe it.   I had won the aria fitbit scale.   my picture and measurements are on the web for all to see.

see for your self.  it's so crazy awesome that I won.  I need to find another fitbit challenge to see what I can do with that one.

I am currently training for a 5k in a few weeks.    I'll post about how that goes soon.

I did do a 2 mile run in Snowflake for Pioneer days. My first timed race.  25.34 minutes.  I was aiming for less then 30 minutes...  I did it!

again it's been way to long...

Warrenton Home

We've been living in our home now for almost 2 weeks.  I can't believe it.  It's so much fun and so big that I wanted to post a few pictures of our lovely new home. 
 Opening the door for the first time on June 4!  It's ours!
 Master Bath
 Girls room


 Isn't it wonderful!
 The speed limit is 15 in the neighborhood.  I feel safe having the kids out side!
 It's our corner .
 These Day Lilies are surrounding the corner of our property.

 I don't remember what these are called but I think of Eva from my old ward every time I see them because they were her favorite flower



 Our shed
 These are going to be big daisys.  I can't wait for them to bloom.  It's going to be any day now.
 Our playground!

 Dining room
 Living room

 Hall Bath
 Girls room
 Bryce's room
 Master Bedroom!
 Master bath
 Kitchen

 Laundry area

 Family room
 Toy area~!
 Downstairs bath with jetted tub!

 extra bedroom! kids have been playing on the bed.
My craft room  well no my storage room for things I haven't found a place for yet.


It's our home and we love it.  It's twice as big as what we came from.  and the Yard is a half acre.  Just getting ready to get a bigger garden and some chickens and maybe even a goat to milk!  

I love it, the Girls love it!  and Matthew after we'd moved in said.  I'm glad you saw potential in this house as I didn't even look at it when we came for the open house.   He saw the kitchen and the outside!    I sure did see potential!  It's wonderful!
