Time & Eternity

 Everyone who was able to be there standing in front of the St. George Temple. My Grandmas sister Gen is next to me

 Grandma Bea and Grandpa Brent better known as Sade and Gunner

 On my wedding day

These are probably hard to see. The top one is my Grandma playing with one of my kids at the sandunes on Easter. The middle my wedding day. The bottom one is me and my Grandma at one of my Talon competition in Dixie.

On September 29, 2012 my family was able to gather in the sealing room at the St. George temple and seal My Grandparents and their children together for time and all eternity. My grandma Sade died last February 2011, and we were waiting until her birthday Sept 29th to seal the family. It was awesome, I was able to be a proxy for my grandma during the sealing and my aunt was for her endowments. I could feel both my grandparents in the room with us as I looked at their kids and grand kids who were there. These are the only grandparents I have ever really known. I still miss them like crazy. They were definitely not your typical grandparents, they were fun, and loud, and full of energy. I had an especially close relationship with my grandma and am so thankful I was able to be there for this experience.

Carving Pumpkins

I'm not gonna lie...I hate carving pumpkins, they stink, they re stringy, and they re messy, and that's why my kids love it! This years right before Halloween Tyler was in Seattle for work so we went to my dads, and he got the privilege of helping with the carving:)

Dylan #87 with the block

People always tell me my life is crazy and how can I stand  going to all those games every weekend. Honestly I love it, I'm gonna most likely be heartbroken when my boys are grown and gone and I'll have no game to watch. Football has consumed our lives for the last four months. We would sometimes have up to four games between soccer and football in one Saturday. It had its crazy moments but was always a good time. I love cheering for their teams! This was Dylans last year playing youth football, I'm kinda sad he's going to be moving on from it to high school ball. It's been great watching him and his friends just have a good time. Karsten really learned the game this year and improved soo much. Tyler was able to be the wide receiver coach for his team, which was a really good experience for both of them. So until next year we'll just have to find something to occupy our Saturday's...oh yes basketball starts tomorrow:) So long to the boys of fall for now

Flames 2012

So if your thinking all we do around our house is play sports then you'd be right!! Tyler coached Jaxons AYSO soccer team this fall. Lets just say it didn't go the smoothest for the two of them. Jaxon came home from more than one practice not too pleased with his "coach". He didn't like the games they played or the drills they did, or the skills they practiced. All he wanted to do was scrimmage, and apparently he doesn't rule the world like he thinks:) It all worked out in the end though, he had some very talented players on his team and they had a fairly successful season. I'm glad Tyler was willing to coach amidst adversity. He always takes the time out of his crazy schedule to be present for our boys no matter what they're doing or playing. He is a really good soccer coach and better father, I'm sure Jaxon will see that one day.

Karsten's 10th Birthday!

Karsten turned 10 before we left for California in July. He had his party at the aquatic center with his 3 favorite buddies. These guys are a crack up when you get them all together, I fear for middle school. I can't believe how old Karsten is getting, it seems natural for Dylan to age but not the other two I'm not sure why that is. He is such a good  boy, he is very good at math, soccer, and making friends. He loves to talk (too much) and make people laugh. He likes to play football and basketball but his true love is soccer and hes very good. He also loves Lego's! He spends hours on end building things and playing with them. He is a tough guy and doesn't like people to know when he's hurt or injured...silly boy. He is kind and very loving and depending on his mood can be sensitive. He is a great brother and loves to tease. He is by far my most patient child but can also be very passionate about things and hard headed, he has the funnest laugh and will make you laugh just by listening to it:) Love you Karst Happy Birthday!!

Newport Beach

My kids love the beach, they love to look for seashells, to jump waves, and build sandcastles. They love the sun, sand, and water. Newport Beach was way nice we've never been to that beach before but I think next time we go we"ll be visiting it again. The best part of this day was when we got back to the motel Kaden proposed to Whitnee by telling her to pick a hand. All of a sudden I could hear screaming and pounding on our door, she came running in jumping and screamed somethimg about a ring. Needless to say she was a little surprised and excited!!
