Is it time to Update???

So I know it's been too long since I wrote anything and so much has happened. I was getting my hair done the other day and my friend who does my hair told me I needed to update. So here I am, updating...
In October we moved into Jer's sister's house in Hooper, UT. We love it here, it is very country, but it is nice and peaceful and we really like it. The kids are loving their school.
I am working a ton of hours at Standard Optical and I got promoted to Assistant Mgr of the store in November. I also turned 32 in October, which was a little hard for me. I definately feel older this year. Jer is still doing his marketing business and it is going really good.. He is selling healthy energy drinks called RevvNRG.

My cute little man turned "5" on Nov 17.

I can't believe he is already 5! My baby is getting so big!!!

We had a really fun Halloween this year. We went to a party at our ward and then went to my mom's. Even Chloe dressed up as Kamie!!
Chloe with Kamie's shirt on...


Shay was an angel, as always!! Kamie was a punk rock "diva" girl, as always...and Alex was Megatron!! They had fun, they were so cute.


And even I dressed up for work. So above is me, Curella Deville, and Dawn my manager as the Joker...
All is well with us, we are enjoying our new ward in Hooper, it is a lot smaller than our Syracuse ward but there are very nice people in it. I will try to keep updated more often. Everyone take care...

The kids are back in school!! Shaylie is in 5th grade and has a teacher named Mr. Bender, she likes him. Kamie is in 2nd grade and loves her teacher Mrs. Avery. Alex is also in preschool this year with some of his friends in the neighborhood.

Aren't they cute???

Alex gets a fat lip for school!! No we didn't beat him lol!! He got some cavities
filled and chewed his lip while numb and this is the turn out!!


chloe is getting so big, she is 4 months old now!!


Jer's cousin Cameron Cooper passed away in Aug due to an illness. He was 18 years old. His funeral was last week in Vernal. He was such a nice kid and the kids loved to see him and go fishing with him at the reunions.

Summer fun

Wow it has been a long time since I posted anything. We've been so busy this summer. My mom took me and the girls to Park City for 2 days and we went school shopping and stayed in a hotel, we went to lunch and a movie. It was so much fun to go spend some time with them.
We also went to a Bee's game this summer with all the kids cousins. It was also a lot of fun. Jer and the kids went to Salmon, ID for a week to help his sister move there. I didnt' go because I started a new job in August as an optician for Standard Optical. It's an ok job, the boss is really tough and kinda strict.
I'm still looking for another job so I hope I can find something I enjoy...The kids are doing well..They really like school. In a month or so we will be moving to Jer's sisters house in Hooper so the kids are going to their new school which is West Point elementary.. They love it...



My mom, me, and the girls in Park City...

Happy 4th of July!!

We had a fabulous 4th of July in Idaho this year with our wonderful friends, the Watsons..We went to the Menan celebrations where they had a fish scramble and lots of other fun things. The kids watched a parade, followed by one of the best firework shows we've seen!! It was a lot of fun..We are so grateful that we live in this country!!








Chloe's swimming!!!

Dance and tumbling

Shaylie and Kamie had their dance recital a few weeks ago. Kamie was in 2 different recitals and Shay was in 1. They did so awesome. They both were adorable and they looked so cute, even with all that heavy makeup on!!!
Then they got to be in the Syracuse parade


Kamie and Shay after the recital
Aren't they cute sisters!!

Shay was Indiana Jones for tumbling!!


Kamie was Under the Sea for dance, and Supercalifragilistic for tumbling

Chloe---the new addition!!

Ya, we did it..we got a new puppy...She is a yellow lab. Our friends from Idaho have the best, smartest dog ever and she recently had puppies, so of course we gave in...It's weird for me because I haven't had a new puppy since Neesha and she's almost 12!!
But so far, Chloe has been very good. She is very lazy, but very smart. The kids are having a blast with her.


Chloe, Shay's new best friend..
Lilly, Chloe's mamma...

Isn't she the cutest thing ever???

2009 Air Show

We went to the Air show with Jer's parents and sister. It was a long hot day, but the wait for the Thunderbirds was well worth the wait. It was so neat to see all the planes and how they fly. The kids enjoyed it, even though we were exhausted by the time we got home...

The coolest kids on the block!!
Dad's best buddy

Our seats were right next to where the T-birds were...They were amazing

Alex graduates Preschool!!!!

Alex graduated from Preschool!! He went to Inch by Inch in Layton. He did so good, he learned all his letters, colors, numbers, shapes and best of all how to write his name and his phone number. He is a smart little guy..He gets to have one more year of preschool before he starts kindergarten.

He looks like he's off to college!!

Fishin and climbing..

The kids went to Vernal over Memorial with Jer to decorate family graves. While they were there they went the the Rec center swimming and rock climbling. I was surprised that all three of my kids climbed up the wall, AJ's wall was a little one, but he still climbed it. Funny that when Jer and I were kids we were both afraid of heights....not our kids!! They had a blast.

Kamie climbing the wall
Alex climbing---look at the tongue, complete concentration

Shay climbing the wall, she went the highest to the very top

Right before Vernal, Jer and Alex took off to Salmon ID with his two boy cousins and their dads. They went fishing every day for three days. Alex caught a few fish and had a great time with his dad.
He was so excited to catch the fish

The boys doing "boy" things!!

Happy 10th Birthday Shaylie Bug!!!

Shay at the zoo....So grown up!!
Shay at her b-day party...got a cute purse

I can't believe she is 10!!!


Shay and her friends at her b-day party...Fun Fun Fun!!!

It's hard to believe it's been a decade since we welcomed our first born into our family. May 12, 1999, Shaylie was born in Bountiful weighing in at 7 lbs 8 oz. She was 20 in long and had "fire" red hair. I thought it was a joke at first, her red hair, but no---it has stuck with her so far her whole life. Shaylie has been such a good example to Kamie and Alex. She loves them so much and sets the bar high for them.
She loves school and her friends too. She has a little "spit fire" in her, but most the time she is a joy to be around. For her birthday this year she had all her friends come over to our house for a Hawaiian birthday party. We played some fun games and had pizza and cupcakes. It was a lot of fun.
Her dad and I are so proud of what this small child has become. She is such a good girl with a sweet spirit. We love her so much!!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Cards and gifts the kids made me for Mother's Day

Say cheese!!


My Uncle Robbie who's in a care center in Bountiful...He's holdin on!!



Happy Birthday Grandpa Humphries!!!

I had such a great Mother's Day!! We went to the zoo with the kids and Jer's best friend and his kids. It was so fun. For Mother's Day, Shay made me a card, Kamie also made me a card, and Alex gave me a pic of him at school signing "I love you" with his hand. We also celebrated Jer's dad's birthday this past week and gave him a CD of pics with music that Shayla and I made. Shayla did most the work, I just provide most the pictures in the family because I'm never anywhere without my camera..

I love being a mom. It is the best gift in the world, and I also love my mom so much. She is such a divine woman. Jer's mother is the best! She has such an unconditional love about her all the time... Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there...
