Our Cheerleader!

I would like to say how proud of Breya we are. She has been such a blessing in our lives. This year as school started I realized how hard it was to send your oldest to High School. I thought sending Ethan to kindergarten was tough, this was just as tough. I found myself crying as I drove away from dropping her off, knowing that I didn't want to embarass her. This year she tried out for the cheer squad and made it. We were so excited for her. As the football season started we found ourselved attending every football game that she was cheering at. It really was fun to watch her. She no longer was a shy girl. I have had so many people comment on how well she does and on how they just can't believe that that is the quiet girl they once knew. The season is nearing an end and she will be going off the playoffs in Pine Dale this weekend. Her dad and I aren't sure how we will fare without her for 3 days but we will have to try. Good luck to the players and the cheerleaders who bring the school spirit alive.

Ethan's Baptism!

As many of you can see I haven't updated for a while, I've been a little busy with craft fair projects. I wanted to post about Ethan's baptism. Our last child was baptized on October 22 and it was very nice. Everything flowed very nicely. I was surprised to when I didn't forget anything. I actually remembered my camera which lately is quite a surprise. We started at 6:00 and were done by 6:45. He asked his Grandpa Price to give the talk on baptism, we had a special musical number sung by all the cousins (that wanted to join in) and the talk of the Holy Ghost was given by Jill. His dad baptized and confirmed him. They all did a great job. We are so proud of Ethan for making the choice to be baptized. I know he really felt the spirit that night. He sat there the whole time with a huge smile on his face. It was rather cute!

Our Surprise!

Last weekend we were surprised by our very dear friends from Arizona. The kids and I had no idea that they were coming but Mike did. As the week started Mike had told us that he wanted to do something special with the family on the weekend, but he wouldn't tell us what. Talk about make everyone crazy for the whole week. I think we all tried to get it out of him a time or two but he wouldn't bust. So on Friday, as I was about to go get the kids from school, this very large van pulled into my driveway. I had no idea who it could possibly be until Jenny got out. I was sooo excited my heart was raceing and my legs were shaking. We haven't seen them since we moved back to Lovell 1 year ago. Their kids were so excited that it was kept a secret for so long. So we all got in their van and picked the kids up from school. To see the faces on my kids was so great, I think they thought they were seeing things for a minute, but quickly realized that they were seeing exactly what they thought.

So our weekend was very adventurous. We started off by touring the town which takes only about 20 min. On Saturday morning we headed off to Yellowstone in a 15 passenger van that they had rented from Billings. How cool is that. We all fit into one vehicle. We got to see a lot of the stop spots almost every one. Of course, we couldn't do it in one day so we rented motel rooms in Gardner, MT and finished the rest on Sunday. We had some great times and I hope they will come back again very soon. As monday approached and it was time for the Lofgrans to leave, the kids were trying to think of everything they could to keep them from making the flight. It almost worked. As everyone is loading into the van and I into my car to take the kids to school, Mike noticed Sierra in the family room watching T.V. He quickly told her that her family was leaving and she ran out the door. Chris was already out of the driveway and about to take off when she appeared. No one had any idea that she wasn't in the van with them. We laughed about that for a while and my kids were in hopes that they missed their plane and would be here when they got home. Not this time.

Whoo Hoo!!!!

So it's finally happened! I've joined the rest of the bloggers in the web world. I'm still not sure what I'm doing but I've been assured that it's really easy, so we will see about that. I feel as though I'm the old person who knows nothing about the new age but that can't possibly be true. I'm not that old.

So I've been busily working on my Letters for the craft fair. Hopefully I don't get overwhelmed by all the work I have to do. I started about 2 months ago, thinking I would get a jump start and I did until the Hen House opened. Now I'm starting all over again but hey who's complaining? Not me.
