{ ♥ }

We made another girls trip to Tri-cities. 

This was the one and only crooked picture I took

when we went out to eat at the Olive Garden.

I love all these women in this photo.

Each has shaped me into who I am today.

They are all so amazingly awesome.

{ Brinley is 14! }

Not sure why they think it's okay to keep up with all this growing up business, but yet here we are another birthday. 

I'm so glad this girl is ours.

she's pretty funny, an amazing helper, smart, pretty, the list goes on and on.

She had a few friends over and we made a craft, each girl got to choose their own paper and make these cute arrow wall decor. I love that Brinley loves to get her craft on just like her mama.

Happy Birthday Brinley (Benny) We love you!

 Good friends, and yummy homemade cupcakes for the win!

She's pretty awesome!

{ Jentry's 18th! }

So the boy who made me a mom turned 18 today! 

We had a low key birthday at home. He didn't really want to do anything, so we had the grandparents over and opened a few gifts and had Maple Pecan Chocolate Sheet cake and ice cream. 

Jentry will be graduating soon and then working for a little while then going on a mission. We are excited for his upcoming adventures and are looking forward to seeing were his life will take him.

Had to add a picture of Ledger, he wasn't having anything to do with this birthday party. He just needed to go to bed. 

Happy 18th Birthday Jentry!

Love you!!

{ Happy Christmas }

Christmas went off without a hitch.

Santa came and he has some serious gift tag game. ;)

All the kids had fun and got things on their lists. 

Christmas is my favorite holiday especially with kids at home.

There is just a special feeling and spirit about Christmas

when there are little ones about. 

Lego's, books, tracing boards, clothes, cars, card games, video games,

gun accessories, iPod's, backpacks... 

Yeah, we had a great Christmas.

{ Parker = Wrestling }

Parker has been wrestling for several years now. 

Today he took first Place in the Elgin, OR

Wrestling Tournament.

This kid is such a hard worker and

wrestles with such passion. 

all photo's taken with a sad sad cell phone. 

 After working so hard and not eating much, you get a huge burger and fries.

{ Christmas is in The Air }

Christmas is just around the corner, 

here is my keeping it real holiday photo. 

Sadly I didn't take many photos this year of my holiday decor. 

You gotta love my American flag still up on my cupboard. :)

 Finally did Christmas cards for the first time in several years.

 Lots of Felt ball orders to be made and lots of custom orders like these 2 Merry garlands.

I love my little holiday helper. 

Hes into using his pants pockets lately and it's pretty

much the cutest thing I've ever seen.

 Snowfall in Eastern Oregon.

All photo are taken from cell phones. 

Sorry for the quality.

{ Turkey Day 2015 in Washington }

I seriously can't believe this is the only photo I took of Thanksgiving Dinner 2015.

I'm grateful for Thanksgiving, it makes me reflect on all the things that

I have in my life. Healthy kids, a warm bed to rest my head at night.

Food on our table, a reliable car to take us where ever we want. 

Family beside us, a religion to practice freely. 

I am truly thankful for all my blessing big or small. 

We went after dinner to Aunt Geraldine's & Uncle Wendell's, to pick up a stove for mom.

Hers was having some serious issues. While there I took these 2 photos 

of Jentry & Ledger. Tugs at my heart strings to see these two together.

My 1st baby and my last baby together. 

Sometimes, the days go too fast.

We need to hang onto the simple memories like these.
