Happy 8th Birthday Asher!

Today Asher is 8 years old. Here are a couple pictures from opening presents before school.

Busy day. I'll post more pictures later.

Not an Anti-Blogger

My sister, Heidi, has accused me of being her anti-blogging sister. I have been extremely busy lately. Asher is in football and Kasey is in volleyball. Kasey just made her school team too, ask me how I'm going to fit that in :)

Kasey's team has won every match.

My dad is helping coach Asher's team. Asher is standing in front of my dad (with his hand on his hip).

I also decided to go to school to be a nail technician. I start Monday. They tell me it will take about 3 months. I'm hoping to learn how to do Glitter Toes too, yay!

Rise & Shout

My family loves BYU Football. A bunch of us went to their first game on Saturday. BYU won, go Cougars! We didn't all sit together. But close enough to get pictures of everyone.

My brother, Darren, and niece, Katie.

Me & Asher

Me & Heidi (see the where the band is on the very right of the picture)

Me & Matt

Jairon (shaved head and sunglasses), sliver of Will's head, part of Asher's face and Y hat, and my dad. Remember how I pointed out the band in the picture of Heidi & I? These guys are sitting just by the band. Doesn't my camera have a great zoom? :)

Also, can I just mention how fun it was to be at a BYU game with my dad. Last year Heidi & I went to a game and had tears in our eyes most of the game, missing our dad because he was on his mission. Glad he went, glad he's home. Love you Dad!

P.S. Heidi, you OWE me!!

I know some of you are waiting for a post about my new house. Well, two bedrooms in the basement flooded tonight. So, I'm just not ready to post about the house yet! That one needs to come from a happy place :)

First Day of School

Asher and Kasey started school last Monday.

Asher, 2nd Grade

Kasey, 8th Grade

Kane started Kindergarten today!

Had to add some more of Kane, he kept wanting me to take more pictures of him.

Exciting!

My parents are coming home from serving their mission in Malaysia today! Yay! Their flight doesn't get in until about 10:30 pm. But I'm taking my kids to the airport to hug them anyway.

(I finally live in Saratoga Springs. I will post about that soon.)

More Silly Kane

My dad's brother, Uncle Hal, has been staying with us at my parents house since Saturday. It's been so fun to hang out with him. Asher & Kane love him! I haven't seen him since the 4th of July 2007 and for many years before that.
Yesterday Kane said, "Mom, am I having a big giant dream?" I said, "What do you mean?" He said, "I was just wondering if Uncle Hal is real." He seriously thought he might have been having a 4 day long, big, giant dream.
Uncle Hal took my boys miniature golfing today (picture below). He's been playing in golf tournaments daily, so I thought it was pretty nice of him to take my boys out.

Kane's Interview

Kane decided to interview himself in the mirror today. Here's the dialogue:

Okay, how old are you? Uh, five. Okay now, when is your birthday? Uh, June 10th. Okay goodbye. Bye. I love you. I love you too. Wait, when is your birthday? June 10th! I already told you that! K, when is your birthday? I already told you that, June 10th! Uhhh! K, do you have a pet? Well, I have a mom. And my dad always works at our new house. (I don't quite understand what he says next, something about his other new house). Then a close up of his awesome dinosaur shirt.

Alright, seriously, do you have a pet? Well, I have a mom?!?!?!!! Priceless :)
