Danny's Spanish Video

2009-01-23T12:47:00.000-08:00

This Danny's final for Spanish. It's kind of long but very funny. You get to see Danny's creative side. He is a funny kid, he picked out all the music and edited the video.

2009-01-13T19:40:00.000-08:00

I know some of these pictures are a little late getting posted but I really do try to be a good blogger. With 4 kids I never get a turn on the computer.

December Snow

Tim and Tanner making a snowman
Tanner had so much fun sledding. What you don't see in this picture is that I have a rope around my waist and I was running up and down the street. That is when I realized why you should have your kids when you are young. lol He kept saying faster, faster. My legs were burning, my lungs were burning and I thought I might drop dead of a heart attack. Then I had a brilliant idead. I told him dad could make him go really fast. I don't think either of us will ever be the same.

Flood of 2009

2009-01-10T12:16:00.000-08:00

As many of you already know our little town was evacuated for flooding the other day. We were pretty confident that our house would be fine but decided just in case we were wrong that we didn't want to be one of those families you see on the news be lifted off our roof by a helicopter. So anyway, we decided to follow the recommendation to evacuate. Anyway, we didn't know where to go (we had many offers) and then we had this brilliant idea to make it a vacation and head about an hour south and go to the Great Wolf Lodge. It was a blast. We had so much fun. I had called them and told them that we were being evacuated and they gave us an amazing rate. Acutally cheaper than Best Western and Holiday Inn. Anyway, everything turned out fine and we were able to go home the next day. We were actually hoping to be able to stay another night. The place was amazing with so many things to do. I have to say I am so greatful for the flooding because it was so fun to get away and bond as a family. I am sorry for those who didn't fair so well but for us it was a blessing.

The had a great area for Tanner to play. Lots of things to push and pull that made water squirt everywhere.
Lindsay and Haley being dumped on by a huge bucket of water that tipped over every few minutes.

Danny and Tanner have a squirt fight.

Lindsay playing the piano

2008-11-11T17:37:00.000-08:00

I know I know the piano needs to be tuned really really bad. If anyone knows of a piano tuner in the area please let me know.

2008-11-11T17:25:00.000-08:00

Look how she can keep playing even with all the distractions around her. She is amazing!

2008-11-11T10:16:00.001-08:00

I guess I should add that Tanner is hitting himself with a rubber bat so it didn't really hurt!! lol

Silly Tanner

2008-11-10T21:12:00.000-08:00

Do you think we need to spend a little more time with Tanner?

2008-11-04T21:39:00.000-08:00

These are pictures of Danny making dead bread for Spanish class. They had to have pictures to prove they did it. The teacher sent an email about how focused he was. Yes, he was focused all right, for about 30 seconds for the pictures. lol. Actually he did a great job

2008-11-04T21:36:00.001-08:00

Tanner went as Indiana Jones. He loved his costume so much he wore it everywhere for about a week. However he was not into having his picture taken in it. I will try to find a better picture cause he was super cute!

Thing 1 and Thing 2

2008-11-04T21:32:00.000-08:00

Lindsay and her friend Meagan went as Thing 1 and Thing 2 for Halloween. I have had several people ask who are they suppose to be. So just in case you don't remember...They are from The Cat in the Hat

Another youtube video

2008-11-02T18:50:00.000-08:00

I hope I'm not boring you but I found this video and I loved it so much I had to share. I love Emma and can't imagine all the pain she had to bear.

2008-11-01T15:13:00.000-07:00

This is a video from youtube that I found and showed at a baptism today. I just loved it.

Bad Blogger

2008-10-27T20:57:00.000-07:00

Okay....I know I am a really bad blogger. I wish I could be more like some of you and share my thoughts and stories. But ,you know I have a hard time doing that because I think I have ADD and I can't focus on one subject for very long. But I hope you enjoy the pictures and I will try to do a better job of posting them.

I just love this picture of my mom walking on the beach. The kids love going to the beach with her.

Those of you who know me, know that I am not much of a pet lover. This was some dog that was on the beach so I took this picture so that when Tanner gets older and blames all his problems on that he never had a dog I can show him this picture and say yes you did don't you remember walking on the beach with good ol Duke.

Lindsay, always posing

See???

One more zoo picture. Tanner on the Merry go Round

More Zoo

2008-10-27T20:43:00.000-07:00

2008-03-19T15:25:00.000-07:00

This is picture of my kids at Christmas time on our way to church. You can tell Danny is so happy to have his picture taken. He said he looked stupid standing there having his picture taken. I guess he was probably right as this is a water fall at the entrance of a subdivision on our way to church so everyone on their way to church saw him standing there. Oh well, he may not have been happy about it but at least he let me take the picture.

Yes! I am finally posting something!

A couple of Haley's Senior Pictures!

2007-10-19T19:27:00.001-07:00

I know some of you have sent me messges that I haven't posted since August. I apologize. Life has been really busy since school started. I will try to post something new and exciting in the next couple of weeks. I will update you on all the happenings then. I miss you all.

2007-08-26T19:22:00.000-07:00

Tanner went to build a bear for his birthday. Then had ice cream at the mall. I think he liked the 69 cent ice cream cone better than the stuff dog he made or should I say Danny and I made.
Tanner blowing out his candles.

2007-08-22T21:45:00.000-07:00

Tanner got this bike for his birthday. He loves to go for bike rides. He was happy just riding around the block for the first couple of days but now he makes us chase him around the entire neighborhood. He likes to ride to the park so he can play on the toys for awhile.

Isn't he just the cutest little boy?

2007-08-21T22:14:00.000-07:00

I have been informed by a few friends that I have not posted anything on my blog for a few weeks. Sorry...It's nice to know that people are looking though. It has been a really hectic couple of weeks and I'm lucky if I have time to check email. Danny has transfered to a new high school. Bonney Lake High School and so we have been busy getting things done for him and taking him to 2 a days for football. I keep calling them daily doubles and he gets really mad. But thats what we called them in the 80's. Haley is enrolling in the running start program and we are trying to get her settled at both the high school and at Pierce Community College. Tim and Danny went on a high adventure and I got to help get things ready for that. I had sharing time this month and well you can see I'm full of excuses. LOL Actually life is good it has just been busy but I still love this blogging thing and I will promise to post more often. Like I said I am just so happy people are checking it out and looking at my cute kids.

More Vacation July 2007

2007-07-29T21:49:00.000-07:00

Haley on the beach with Tanner. She wasn't around to much. She drove to Eugene and stayed with her friend Rachel for a few days.
My Sister Tammy, her husband Bob and her son Jake. We have done several vacations together and they are so much fun to be with. Only problem. Their kids are all growing up and leaving. Jake will be a Junior so we are trying to really enjoy our last couple of family vacations with them.
This is what my sister did almost the entire time. I got her hooked on these Janet Evanovich books and she never put them down. Ok I have to admit I was reading them too. My friend Trina got me hooked. They are so funny you just have to see what happens next.
Danny modeling on the beach.
Danny and Jake in a Ping Pong game. The house we stayed in had a great game room with Air hockey, ping pong, foos ball and other games. Tanner loved playing ping pong and acutally got the ball over the net a few times. He is an amazing 2 year old.

Vacation July 2007

2007-07-29T21:29:00.000-07:00

These are pictures from our vacation over the 4th of July in Lincoln City Oregon.

The weather was great. The house we rented was probably the best house we have ever rented. We had a great time and hope we can have a Family Reunion there next year.

Danny and Jake playing in the waves
Tanner loved the sand but did not have any desire to even look toward the water let alone go near it.
Lindsay had a great time getting wet once she got her swimming suit on!
This was the beach by our house. I don't know any of these people. But I wanted everyone to see how amazing the beach was.

2007-07-29T21:28:00.000-07:00

Well I'm finally back!! I can't believe how much we depend on our computers.

2007-07-23T10:59:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted anything for a few days. I'm having computer problems so don't give up me. I hope I'm back up and running in a few days.

2007-07-19T22:06:00.000-07:00

Last January I turned 40.. Yikes. I hate to say that number. But anyway, my two sisters flew up to surprise me. They will never know how much that meant to me. Anyway, they spoiled me with movies, shopping dining, etc. The etc. is a surprise party. It was really neat and it was great to see everyone who came. Even with short notice. I thought it would be great to put some really great pictures of us on here but I just couldn't find to many that were on my camera so Leigh and Tammy don't be mad if you don't like the picture.

This is my sister Leigh...Buying popcorn at the movie. We saw Holiday. It was a great movie to see with my sisters. I know Leigh will hate this picture but I love it because she is always so perfect and this one I caught her off guard.

This was a picture of my sister Tammy at the Olive Garden but she made me take it off. I love ya anyway sis!

This is me and Leigh (hey that rhymes). Thankyou sisters for the surprise and the fun. You mean the world to me!

2007-07-19T21:59:00.000-07:00

Danny came home from Soccer practice with a mohawk. I guess the whole varsity team did it for team bonding for the playoffs. Way to be a leader Danny!

Anyway, Tanner wanted a hawk like his brothers.

I told you I was going to brag on my blog. Danny also was voted MVP for the soccer team.

2007-07-17T20:18:00.000-07:00

I know there is really no logic to my postings yet. Be patient. Right now I'm trying to figure everything out. Once I do I will try to blog in some kind of order. I hope I'm not boring anyone.

2007-07-17T20:14:00.001-07:00

I thought since I'm getting into this I would post this picture of Mt. Rainer. This is the view from our neighborhood. It used to be the view from our house until the built the house behind us. Oh well. It's still pretty cool. When you drive down the main street in our town this is what you see.

I'm really excited to start this adventure in blogging. I have looked over many of your blog sights and I'm very impressed. I'm sorry I haven't posted very often but I'm not always sure what to say. I'm not really sure what to even say on my own blog. You all have so many great stories and funny things to share. I hope I can find things to share that will be of interest to all of you. Tracey you have a great opening story. I'm not sure quite where to start but I will get there and if nothing else you will see pictures of my fabulous kids. You know they are the real reason I'm doing this anyway. To Brag. Lol. I really am excited to continue to look at your blogs and to share mine.

Love,

Rox

2007-05-09T15:27:00.000-07:00

I thought this might be a fun way to keep in touch. It will only take a minute a couple of times a week to keep in touch this way.
