I have to post about this dog. Whenever some one goes outside she thinks she has to go to, so she will find me and put her head on my hand or lap and whine until I let her out!(By the way those are my scrub pants, I don't go around in those color pants except for work!)

WOW!!! Do I have good looking kids or what! This is what we did after our big Thanksgiving meal. I have wanting to take my kids out a do some pictures. Now all I need is to get some kind of photoshop program so I can edit them!

Senior pictures

Bracken has been working on his eagle project and will hopefully get is wrapped up in the next couple of weeks. He made some picnic tables for the shelter at the church house. He just has to have his board review.

Yes! We must pray now.....................................










He has he drivers license!

He finally got it after all this time! You see his mother wasn't pushing the issue of him getting his licence and so he had to get signed up all by himself and as you can see it took awhile(he has been 16 since May). He is one happy boy!

wow Here I go again. I haven't posted in a long time! So things that has happen this past month are---hummmm I don't know! I'll just post some random pictures. Bracken went to homecoming. I got my certification for the E4D and the company sent me a cookie bouquet. and we just have been lazy lately.(just ask Missy)

SHAYLEE HAD A BIRTHDAY SHOUT HOORAY!!!!!!!

mY BABY GIRL IS 14. WOW time flies. I think I surprised her by getting her a CHI.(Now I get the cheap flat iron!)

SENIOR PICTURE!!

ALL RIGHT!!!

It has been a long time since I have blogged!!!

I better get on the balllllllllll!!!!!!!!!

Summer has been busy, just full of work for everyone and no time to play!! I guess thats why I haven't been blogging.

Its nice to have the kids back in school again and get back into a routine. Heres a few pictures but not much.

This was Jordon's 3rd day of 11th grade. He is going to Franklin County High

Shaylee is in 8th grade--her final year of junior high!

And Bracken--his motto"I don't need to get up until 10 minutes before school starts" So he wasn't up for 'first day of school pictures' that I like to take. He is a senior this year.

I have bottle beans and have made jam so far this year. And we have ate yummy cherries and apricots from our tree. a

And there are plenty more to do.

Boy!!! I have become a slacker! I have discovered the world of Facebook and am totally addicted to it that I've apparently forgotten to blog. Time has flown and in this household we do not do much but work all the time. And especially Jay. Now that the rain has finally stopped and the farmers can start working, Jay is getting really busy at work. (which is good) Bracken is working hard at his summer job working with the "Mud Monsters" (kody and Forrest) and he loves every minute of playing in the "mud"(as Bracken would put it). Jordon has been attending summer school catching up on math. He doesn't like it but as of today he is done. He has been working some-hauling hay and whatever the Hamptons need him to do. And Shaylee has been babysitting, and she is having fun doing that. She will come home and talk my ear off about babysitting these cute little kids.
Here are some pictures:



Shaylee was the only one home on the 4th so after we went to the fireworks in Lewiston we did our own fireworks and I was surprised that Missy enjoyed them too. When we had Copper she would hide in the basement when the first firework went off.

I know its been a while since I've updated my blog. But it has been a busy couple of months! First of all, Bracken went to Unity with Keri Hampton. This is a picture of his date and with his group.









Then Jordon turned 16 on the 16th and got his driving permit. Now I'm stuck driving with him for the next 6 months! He was also ordained a priest and Bracken was able to stand in the circle. Its nice to have the priesthood in our home!





Shaylee spent the last week of school home sick. She did make it to the last day so she could get her stuff and sign yearbooks. I can't believe that she will be in the 8th grade this fall! Here are some pictures of her and Missy jumping on the trampoline.








Speaking of Missy, here is a funny picture of her wearing a diaper. She was pretty good about wearing them when she was in the house!

And I finally got my garden planted! Thanks to Phil who tilled up my garden so I could get it done! I think that I over did it! I got corn, beans, peas, potatoes, carrots, beets, onions, peppers, tomatos, lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers, watermelon, canteloupe, radishes, and pumpkins planted.


My cherry tree and strawberries are loaded this year!! I cant wait!






And finally, all my flowers are planted!







Now I can kick back and relax and enjoy the summer!!!
