Hubby Tag

So Mandy is making yes making me do this tag. We saw it on Michele's and it was so cute. Rhett and I just don't have a very cool starting out story. I guess I better do it though because no one really knows Rhett he really keeps to himself. So here goes.1 . Where did you meet your husband? Well we really just met through friends. I was friends with his older brother and his friend Brandon who we miss very much, this is the only picture I could find right now of Brandon and it is not a very good one.
2.How long did you date before you got married? We were friends for about a year and dated for probably 9 months before we got married.

3. How long have you been married? We will be married 13 years this May. Seems like forever but it also seems like just yesterday.

4. What does he do that surprises you? When he can tell I am feeling overwhelmed and stressed out, I will be at a Presidency meeting or something for church and I'll come home and he will have the whole house clean. I don't know why that surprises me he does it quite often.

5. What is your favorite feature of his? I think I have to say there are three that tie. anyone who knows him will agree with me on HIS EYES, then it would be his smile, and I love his strong hands.

6. What is his best quality? I think that would be his over protectiveness (is that a word)? I know that with out a doubt he will protect me and the kids. I know that no one can disrespect me in his presence, and I always know that I am safe. Little kids also love him.

9. What is his favorite sport? uhhh any one who knows Rhett will know it's hunting

10. When and where did you first kiss? okay this is a hard one for me to remember. Any one who knows me knows that I am not a very sentimental person. I think it was at his house outside in front of the garage and his dad flipped off and on the porch light. I was so embarrassed.

11. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? I guess anything that we get to do with out the kids. We mostly go hunting or ridding four wheelers together.

Better The Second Time

So I went to see Twilight again tonight. I thought it was so much better the second time. I am so glad that my cousin Hillary hasn't seen it yet so that gave me an excuse to go again. I liked it so much more I think because I tried to not compare it to the book so much. So thanks for going with me Hill and oh ya it was great to see an old friend there to. Great to see you Tara, thanks for letting me sit by you.

Holy Lot's of Food

Yeah for Thanksgiving. It was a strange year though it. It didn't quite seem like Thanksgiving. We were missing a few key people. My little brother Dillon went to his in law's out of town, My little sister Danielle also went to her in law's and Nathen had homework and had to work tomorrow so he decided to stay home. Most important my dear sweet grandpa who passed away last February. We missed his presence. When Auntie Bella comes home from school we always have a big art session. Amanda is going to school to be an Interior Designer so she is drawing alot and Haegen likes to draw also and always decides he needs an art session. He loves it.
Check out all the food we had tons of left overs. I don't know what the deal it either we don't have as many people as we used to or we just don't eat as much. (it must be the first)
More food

Of course the Dessert Table YUMMY

My little sister and my dad

My little brother Keaton and my mom

Then it was out to do some Skeet shooting.

Haegen took advantage of shooting the bbgun he got for his birthday from Uncle Keaton. We keep it locked up with Rhett's gun's and he only gets to shot it when we go shooting.

Then we have Rhett and Keaton waiting for Haegen to pull the Skeet. Rhett had to hurry and get his shooting done because he had to go to work.

Haegen and Wyatt were in charge of pulling for the big boys. I even got out there and shot. I didn't do to badly for hardly ever shooting any more. We had a fun day. I'm an thankful that my family lives close enough to be able to spend time with them.

I love all of you.

Family Fun

So today the boys and I went with Rhett to the mountain to check his trap's. I was planning on sitting in the truck with my book that I have been trying to get started ( The Host), and let Rhett and the boys take off on the four wheeler. Well...... Rhett oh come on that's no fun sitting in the truck, come on. So I went with them and to my surprise Rhett let me drive the four wheeler (he is usually a freak about driving because he like to get where he's going and fast). So I'm driving Rhett is behind me and the boys are on either side of Rhett on the rack sitting on a blanket for some cushion. ( i know safe right). Rhett was hanging on to their legs. Well all was going good on the way down then on the way back, oh my heavens.
All of a sudden Rhett yells wait!!! Whooby fell off. I thought ya right turned to look and Bryce is jumping up off the ground and running for us. It was so sad. He ran up to me and I grabbed him and held him, he was trying so hard not to cry but he started to cry, he was hanging on to me with a death grip, it must have scared him. I felt so bad it was so sad so I kept him up front with me.
Then we came to a hill I think no problem. Well problem, I start going up it and the front tires start coming up. Oh crap!!! Rhett fell off the back and was trying to grab Haegen out of the way and I put the brakes on they moved and I rolled down. Easy right, what a day. Rhett jammed his hand when he fell, sorry hunny.
Last the boys and Rhett went walking down this gully and I was supposed to met them at this one place. So I am sitting there waiting and sort of freaked myself out thinking what if a Mountain Lion came up to me lol, witch one didn't. Then the boys come walking up and Bryce has blood all over his mouth. I said what happened did you fall? He said no a stick poked me in my mouth.
Holy Cow what a day and they loved every min. of it.
Oh and no Rhett did not catch anything, unless you want to count a skunk.

Saw This Coming

So I'm sure we all saw this one coming. Now I have to do what I am not good at and be patient.

Hummmmm????

So tonight I went to the big Twilight movie. My gal pal Mandy and I found out that the ticket's were on sale this past Monday so of course we ran right down to buy them.
Well today Mandy got super sick she has Bronchitis. Sad, she was thinking about still going but decided that she did not feel well enough. I was super sad, I was looking forward to a fun night with her.
Well she said she would give her ticket to whom ever I found to go with me. So I called me new gal pal Tajia and she was more then happy to go with me.
So we got there an hour early and it wasn't to bad. I thought it would be a mad house. Well just let me say, YES the BOOK was better of course. It was good but the book was so much better.
I got thinking about how good the Harry Potter movies are so I thought hummm I bet the books are better I should read them.
Well thanks for going with me Tajia it was fun, and get better Mandy, thanks for giving up your ticket. I felt so bad all night that you were to sick to go. I know you must be super sick to miss it.

Can't Wait for Girl Night

So I got thinking that the last time I went to the movie's with girlfriends was forever ago. The movie was White Noise with Kevin Costner. Joey Amber and I went. I thought wait a min. that can not be the last time so I called Joey to see if I was forgetting a time and she said nope that sounds about right. Don't get me wrong we have been with our kids and she has gone with her hubby, but man how sad is that. So tomorrow night Mandy and I get our big girl's night out at the movie and yep you guessed what movie TWILIGHT. Yeahhhhh. I will blog about how much fun we had. Check back, I'm sure we will have tons of fun, (doing nothing but chat in and watchin our movie)

Taylor's First Time Doing Temple Work

Last night was Young Women's and Sis. Amanda told us that it was the youth baptism for the dead. So she came and picked up Taylor and they went to the Bishop interview so she could get her recommend and they went to the Temple. She didn't say much when she got home but she never does. (trying to get this child to talk is like pulling teeth). I know that she had a great experience, I always did when I would go with the youth. Only we didn't have a temple in our little town. We had to travel 3 fun hours to go. That was always fun. What teenager wouldn't think it was fun to travel 3 hours with your friends, now the leader's on the other hand, (I'm sorry for my leaders :0)

I hope that Taylor realizes the important of the work that she did last night. I told her to go and wright about it in her journal, I hope she did.

To Excited To Stand It!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes that's right I got my Twilight ticket and I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I know I am a big loser with this to look forward to but I'll take it.

Frames

So this past Saturday for enrichment we made these frames. It was alot of fun and I am glad that we all got together, we will have to do another fun craft soon. These are the 8x10 frames I made for my wall
These are the ones I made for my mom for Christmas whoops I hope she doesn't see them before then.

Then I made these ones for my mother in law for Christmas. It was fun now I want to do more.

Ellcie's 4th Birthday

Ellcie had her 4th birthday on Tuesday, and I am a slacker and haven't blogged about it yet.

She had a great time everyone knows how much she likes to dress up so she got alot of tu tu's. Grandma and Grandpa Manwaring got her this one and the fairy wings
She was so funny, she got the baby opened and she was done. She wanted to go and play with her baby.
She was so sweet she was opening presents and I was talking to Heather and looked over and saw Bryce opening one and I said no Bryce those are for Ellcie to open and she looked at me and said "no it's alright he can open one I let him". It was so cute she loves her best friend.

Happy birthday Ellcie.

Loved This Book

So Thank you Mandy for posting on your blog about how great this book is. Last night I read "The Wednesday Letter's" by Jason F. Wright. This book was so good I started it at 7:30 pm and couldn't put it down until I was finished at 1:00am. I thought it was a great story. I cried, I laughed and I thought how great it would be to have a Wednesday letter to look forward to every week. So anyone who hasn't read this book you totally should. I am going to get his new book, "Recovering Charles".

"Would Jesus Do That?"

This week Bryce has been so funny. Haegen has made him cry a couple of times by taking away a toy or hit him and Bryce will start crying and say "Haegen, would Jesus do that, no he wouldn't!!!"

The way he says it is so funny. He is just bawling and says it so fast. I thought oh that is good that he has picked it up, and I tried so hard not to laugh. He was just dramatic about it. I said that is right Bryce Jesus would not do that. Jesus loves every one. I found this family picture that my dad took on Taylor's Baptism day.

Old Family Picture's

I am so excited!!! As I was going through old books and old pictures I found these pictures of me and my Uncle Greg. He died in a car wreck when I was just 6 years old. I remember that I thought he was the best Uncle ever. I loved and looked up to him so much. That was a very hard time for me. I lost a great Uncle. I am so glad that I know God's plan for me and that I will be able to see him again. I am so comforted by the knowledge that my dear sweet Grandpa is with his oldest son right now. Grandpa missed him for 25 years. I do not know what I would do with out this knowledge. Here is Uncle Greg and me I think 3 years old and my little sister Danielle a baby, at my grandma and grandpa's house
I love and miss you Uncle Greg.
XOXOXO

The parent's were invited so I got to go with her Rhett is working night's so he missed out. It was a very nice night and I am so thankful for the young women's program. I have such a testimony of the program I loved my Young women's day's. I hope that Taylor takes full advantage of the program I know that she will. Good job Tari it was a great night you guys did a wonderful job and I thought that you had a great turn out.

Me and My Gal Pal

So I was going through some old paper's and book's and found old High School picture's. Here are the one's of me and my Best Friend of 14 years, Joey. Oh the fun times that we had.

To go back and relive them. Most people say that they could not pay them enough to go back to high school..... well send me back there for free. I LOVED my high school day's. Joey and I had so much fun I wouldn't even know where to start to tell you.

When we start reminiscing our girls just laugh and think we are nuts!!!

Joey always kept my car aka...(charlie) nice and clean
Joey always' could come up with the outfit's.

Oh to be young again!!!

Calling up our friend's to come over, or checking in with the parent's

What good girls working on their homework

Oh the memories, I'm glad I had such a great friend, and still do!!!

I love you girl

Taylor's Party's

Well, I am officially done with birthday's until May. Yes, I am burned out. Next year I say I do all three birthday's in one. Friday night Taylor had six girls spend the night for her friend party. Oh that was just loads of fun, six 10 and 11 year olds. They broke my pull out bed, it took me an hour to try to get it back inside the couch. But I guess they had fun. Then Saturday they went to the Rec Center to go swimming. Taylor was kind enough to let her brother's come and swim with her. What a good big sister.

Then tonight we had some family over for cake and Ice cream. Uncle Dillon and Aunt Heather gave her this hat and scarf.

Great Grandma Ila gave her this big ol dog

Rhett and I gave her some Young Women's book's and a Picture of Christ hugging a girl, and a digital camera.

Then her Activities day leader Sister Cheryl came and gave her a cute willowperson, thanks so much Cheryl you were the best activity day leader ever.

Nick and Tajia gave her a purse, bath salt, and glitter body spray. What more could a girl ask for.

She got money from Gram and Pa Pete, Aunt Bev, Grama Anni and Poppy. Looks like I know where to go for a loan. lol

Aunt Dani and Uncle Justin gave her a movie, and Auni Bella, gave her a young women's values necklace. I'm sure I forgot some one. But thank you to every one.

Here are the kids trying to calm down. I think they know that Auni had, had enough.
