Prom 2012

This is Sonny with is date Erin.  This was Sonny's first date!  We bought the tux jacket at DI in Utah and the pants were given to him.  We rented the shirt and tie.  He had a great time that night.  

Eliana and Sonny had their dates over for dinner before the dance.  I made steak and oven roasted garlic rosemary potatoes.

Here is Eliana and her date Michael.  We found her purple dress at DI in Utah as well.  I just love finding deals!!

She got her hair done at the local beauty school- it took 3 hours!  But it was so beautiful!  She had a  great time as well. This picture shows the back.

I know not many people read my blog since I never update it, but maybe with me being on bed rest it will be a good time to try.  We are expecting our 5th child April 29th and are hoping for a healthy baby.

Family Pictures

We FINALLY have gotten our family pictures taken.  (the last time was 8-9 years ago).  I entered a contest to get half off a session with Lookhart Photography through A Thrifty Mom.  I WON!!  

My fabulous friend helped me pick out clothes for all of us, did Julianna's hair, did my make-up,- and even ironed the boys' shirts.  She rocks!!  Love you Tami!  

So the following are the long awaited pictures.  Susan did such a great job!

Changes

I have decided that I have neglected this blog long enough.  I am giving it an updated fresh look in anticipation of me actually posting.  Let me know what you think!

Camping 2010

We went camping a couple of weeks ago.  We went to Three Island State Park in Glenns Ferry, Idaho.  We have a good time~ but it was TOO hot to be camping. 

Ben and Julie HAD to have a fire even though it was 100 degrees!

Sonny, Ben, & Julianna going on their hike with Dad.

I love this sweet picture of Sonny carrying his tired sister.

Julianna with her first glow stick.  She slept with it.

We are still alive!!

Well, I have been telling myself that I need to update our blog and post everything that we have been doing. I wanted to start where we left off and post Ben's Birthday and then his baptism etc... Well, I have yet to download the pictures from his birthday.
I 'll try to get that done. I am trying to organize my house. My mom asked what I wanted for my birthday and I told her I wanted her to come and help me organize my home. She kept asking and I kept telling her. So what did I get for my birthday? She is coming a few times a week and is helping me organize.
So when I am down organizing for a bit I will have the chance to down load pics.
