Well I have my own theory.....the day of the storm was the day they called Steve to serve in the bishopric! I think the Lord may have changed his mind for a second about bringing back the flood! Ha ha! No, I'm just kidding! Ha ha! But can you believe it? He's a high priest now! Totally weird!
And with the rain you also get all those wonderful creatures that also love to come out and play! This is "sticky". He totally lives up to his name, he stuck to EVERYTHING! He was cute though!
I've looked and looked, and so far this is the best sunset I have been able to find. It isn't an Arizona sunset, but it will have to do. That is one thing I will miss, the beautiful sunsets of the desert!
Well we seem to be settling in, I think i realized last week that was gonna be on my vacation longer than I thought. Its tough trying to fit all my crap that I brought with me into a 2200 sq ft home, when it came from a 3600 sq ft home! Im to the point where I just wanna throw all the stuff away that is still left in the garage! I'm afraid Angie might kill me though! Ha-ha!
Danette, Tori, and all of us had a lot of fun on our trip. We went to the beach and enjoyed the muddy, shallow, warmth of the gulf. Stayed up late trying to fit round things into square places, drove around forever just to get to one store! But I'm sure glad she came!
Here's a shout out to my Laurel girls, and to the rest of the young women of

I miss all my friends, my family, my sister, my nieces and nephews! I miss you all! I promise to put up a bigger fight to get on the computer to stay up on my blog and facebook, even if I have to take out one of my boys to do it!
I know I need to update my blog so here is what is going on with the family lately.
Steve is still working hard and has been going back and forth to Texas. We're trying to expand our business, so we are planning on moving to Texas.
Justin lives up in St George as a snowboard instructor part time and got another job at Buckle. He will be moving home soon to get somethings figured out to go to texas with us in June-July 2009.
Colten is going to school and still working for his dad as a mechanic. He hangs out with his friends and makes long boards on his free time. Colten graduates in May and is planning on getting his mission papers in adn work for his dad driving a dump truck until he leaves.
Cooper is going to taylor as a 7th grader. Doing really well in school, making new friends. Plays football with his best friend Jared Eaton and his brother Stevie for NYS. Doing really good this year. He just started wrestling for school and is loving it!
Stevie is going to Keller as a 5th grader. Doing good in school. Plays Baseball for his Dad for Mesa Southern Little League ont eh Astros team. He is excited for this baseball season. Claims to hit a lot of homruns and be a better catcher than last year.
Jace turned 8 in November and was baptized. He is hanging out with his brothers, and his best friend dallan russell. Plays game cube and computer games. Sometimes draws a lot too. He is quite the artist!
And Me, I have been getting things ready for texas, including the house, loving hanging out with my boys, watch them play their sports, and watching my grandbaby on wednesdays. He is going to be a year and a half on march 28th. i can't believe it, time flies by way to fast. He is starting to talk a little more, he's also losing the baby look and starting to look like a little boy! Amber and Josh are going to start potty training him soon! Good Luck!
...everything was going great until I talked the girls to going on splash mountain again and we all got WET! Kim wasn't happy, in fact she was really ticked, as you can see, then we all camped out on the bench out by the shooting gallery hoping to dry our wet selves! Then we headed over to enjoy THUNDERMOUNTAIN which we rode a couple of times, and they all pointed out that none of us got wet! Of course not, we were already wet! Ha-ha!
So to finish out our girly trip, Kim and I had a big surprise waiting for our unexpected "sistas"! We re-routed the tom-tom and ended up at the happiest place on earth...DISNEYLAND!!!!!
We decided to hit all the mountains 1st, so we went to SPACE MOUNTAIN, then SPLASH MOUNTAIN.....
My niece Shalyse had her first baby on November 20th. She had a Boy, he weighed 7lbs 20 inches long. I pulled an all-nighter just to see his little face! He definately looks like his Mommy. but has a good mixture in him. I haven't loaded pictures yet but they will come soon!
Jace has his 8th birthday and was baptized by his dad. It was a wonderful yet emotional experience. He is my Baby boy so it was hard to see him all grown up but i am so proud of him for choosing the right and getting baptized. We had his party with his friends at Bounce extreme it's like bounce-u but one whole room. I made his cake, it was an inch worm made of cupcakes!
Halloween we Carved pumpkins, had the halloween party at my house with food and lot's of snacks, Amber made cookies ghosts and cats. Cooper, Stevie, and Jace all dressed up as ninja's. Amber, Josh and Braiden dressed up as Jail birds. My brother Johnny and his family came and he was dressed up as a jail bird too. We took Braiden trick or treating and he loved every minute of getting candy, see the pictures for yourself!
