random pictures

I finally downloaded all of my pictures off of my phone. random, pixelly thoughts in no particular order:



Mrs. Cloud's Thanksgiving feast and program. This is the 5th one I've attended over the years, but the 1st where my kid belted out all of the words. Go Tuck!

Luke on a random Sunday.


Eden with some friends at Disney on Ice. It was a fantastic night at a new arena 20 minutes from our home.


Boutique #2

"Holiday Boutique Gone Chic" We LOVED Snoqualmie Ridge!




Bumper of a car that I rolled into at a stop light. Fortunately I just barely scratched it...



Eden's field trip to the Salmon Hatchery


Eden in her school play "Pinocchio" All she wants for her birthday is acting classes!

Luke playing ball at school. They let the parents come and eat lunch with the kids a couple of times each year and then hang out with them at recess. fun times...
The only pic I have of Luke at soccer. Looks a little uncomfortable...

Tuck in a PR costume with his cousin at his side. Don't know what happened to the other half of the pic? Luke and Cameron in the background playing Wii. We miss our cousins :(
Family day at Lagoon. Probably the funnest day we had all year. My kids LOVED it. Luke on the Colossus for the 2nd time and 3 year old Tucker on the Tidal Wave. Those kids have no fear!




Dave w/the men heading out on their guys weekend. Gotta love that van!
Little Liza at a lake in Yellowstone

Our favorite lake and restaurant in Island Park

Wow, you are the best! Loved every picture. Isn't it a blessing that in this world there are people who just love to work with and teach kids and are good at it. Mrs. Cloud is unique.

Mother's Day

One of the things I really wanted for Mother's Day this year was a picture of me with my children.OK, I really should have thought of something less stressful: "Come here Tucker" "There's a piece of candy on the chair" "Say, Thomas the train I love you" "Please come back..." "No more pictures for me" Thanks to Dave for his patience, we did get some decent shots. I must write for the record how grateful I am to be a mother. There is nothing on earth I would rather be doing right now. I honestly love them so much. Thank you NB, I just had to steal this from your blog: Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you’ve had a baby. That Somebody doesn’t know that once you’re a mother, “Normal,” is history. Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct That Somebody never took a three-year-old shopping. Somebody said you don’t need an education to be a mother. That Somebody never helped a fourth

Child Rearing Race

My visiting brother from Utah and I were left without spouses for 4 days. This wouldn't have been such a big deal, but our kids had already been together 24/7 for 6 days and our boys couldn't think of anything better to do than fight. I don't know about you, but 1 entire day of fighting is enough to drive one mad--now times that by 4. Near the end of the week(and our rope) my brother and I had a heart to heart and posed the question~what in life could be more mentally difficult than this? The only thing I could think of (now remember, we'd just run the Ragnar) was running a marathon. Someone once told me that if you could mentally get through a marathon, you could get through anything. So, I put it to the test...I ran a... OK , not a marathon, but a 1/2. Raising children and running difficult races are so much the same. They both require so much of you emotionally, physically and mentally and yet the end reward is so gratifying. I can't express the joy I felt yester

Let's just call this paybacks

Dave got the heads up this morning that we were going to have a couple of "special" talks on reverence today as the Stake Presidency was a little concerned about how loud our sacrament meetings have become. I thought ~ great, let's prep the kids ~ I told them that they were to be on their best behavior, no snacks, no toys, no talking, you get the idea... The meeting went pretty smooth until the Bishop got up. He very tenderly started talking about how important it is that we teach our children about the sacrament...it was at that moment that my family fell a part. Eden and Luke started fighting and Liza and Tucker started screaming---did I mention we were on the second row? I grabbed Luke and put him in a body hold and motioned for Dave to get Tuck and Liza out. Dave left with Liza and Tuck (so I thought...) and next thing you know, Tucker is up on the stand running back and forth behind the Bishop. My sweet friend sitting next to me jumped up to get Tuck, but he of cours
