Welcome Home!!!!!!

This last weekend my parents came home from thier mission. They were gone for 18 months! We were so excited for them to come home! All of the kids were there except my little brother, Devan, who is on his mission. I made matching t-shirts for all the kids and grandkids. (Phil says that I am t-shirt happy.)

My mom had made little candy leis for the grandkids, which were a total hit!

Holding Baby Melody and Baby Grayson who were born while she was gone.

Carlee and Baby Melody, the only grand daughters. (11 boys)

The kids were so cute waiting at the door for them to come. It was so emotional to see them walk around the corner.

Pheasant Hunt

Last week Phil went on a pheasant hunt to Winner, South Dakota. Codale Electrical Supply took him and a few other guys that he works with. They left early Monday morning and got home Friday night. He had a great time killing God's innocent creatures. :) And....even brought home and stuck it in the freezer to be stuffed! It will look great in your office, honey!

We missed him while he was gone and glad he got home safe!
Love ya!

Cousin Trip!

My sister, Kassie and her three kids have been staying with us for the last week while their daddy is out of town. Kassie had surgery a few weeks ago and needed help with her kids. It was a good week for them to come because Phil was out of town too. We have mostly stayed home and hung out, but we have had so much fun!

Relaxing before bed with their bedtime snack of popcorn.

Buddies!

Since Bodie is usually the ringleader, they dress up all day long.

When Phil came home, the kids were all over him. Fighting for his attention.

My little nail biter....

....toenails that is!!

Birthday Girl!

Like most parents, I don't where the time has gone! My baby girl is three years old! She is such a sweet little girl and we are so thankful to have her in our family! She LOVES her daddy and brother, Bodie. They play for hours on end. She love art, singing, dancing, dolls, Dora, playing rescue with Bodie. She is very independent and can do everything herself!

Happy Birthday, Carlee Jean!!

Seven Years!!

One house,

Two kids,

Two dogs....that we got rid of....

Happy Anniversary, Philly!!

Trick or Treat!!

For Halloween we went over to Phil's parent's house and trick or treated with Phil's little sister, Sydney and her friend, Shaeley (Bodie's girlfriend). The kids had a great time. Carlee ran to every house! Bodie was all business. He was always a few steps in front of us. Didn't talk, just trick or treated. He also hooked his candy bucket on his belt buckle.

Bodie was a sherriff (don't mistake him for a cowboy, he will correct you) and Carlee was a superhero. Carlee's mask makes her eyes look really far apart. I couldn't get them to pose for a picture. They were ready to go!

After we were done trick or treating Bodie handed out candy for Grandma. He stood and looked out the window and yelled, "Here come the trick or treaters!" He did it for over two hours. They had a lot of trick or treaters!

Carlee was so tired, she layed on the couch and watched a movie.
We had a great night!
