Spring Soccer

Ashton started this season right where he left off last fall and has kept improving.  He's made one goal at every game but one (the one his cousins came to, he was really worried about what they were doing the whole time ha ha). 

back from Minnesota. My computer is broken so I'll have to wait on pics but here's a few of my new vintage aprons in the mean time.

Ash, Dad if you buy me this I wont ever ask again. Me, no. Ash, ok..then I just have to ask again.

New Hobby

Aaron finally got his smoker! He made the yummiest ribs for lunch today...and the best elk/deer jerky yet!

Found

I found this cute picture of miss Rj while cleaning out my files.  Taken in January- makes me so excited for our upcoming trip to the American Girl Store...

Colten Says

I guess I closed the door on Colten when he was trying to come into the house.  Aaron let him in and he was bawling.  I told him to come to get a hug and that I was sorry, he replied with "You broke my heart!"  That is enough to kill a mother.  After cuddling for a minute he said "you fixed my heart," and got down to go play. 

Amazing!

I spent the weekend scanning in photos and documents that my mom had on her family. I thought this was really cool:

Tonya is my mom's Aunt.

Reagan and I are both named after Helen, my great-grandma.

Ella is Sarah's mother-in-law.

My Mom - look at where Reagan and I get our looks from...

This next one is my Grammi, my mom's mom in her wedding dress, also with her mother (my grandma gg).  We have this dress!

This one is my dad - I thought I saw a little of my nephew Hudson in him...

Colten hit the tv with a piece of pvc. Never mind that it's the only new thing we've bought, but that it's three days out of warrany! Colt promptly went to get his dump truck so he could ''put tv in it and take it to garage.''

''mom now you're using your nugget!'' Ashton

They Say

Ashton "Mom I'm going to marry Sophie, cause I want to marry somebody I know and we're friends, and we're smart just like each other and we have the same hair and blue eyes like each other..." I told him not to mention this to Sophie's dad.

Ashton and I were having a conversation about Christ and the prophets when he asked "mom, why do we have to go to church, can't we get all this stuff at the store?" I tried to explain that we go to church because Heavenly Father asked us to and that the stores are concerned about money not Jesus. The next morning I was buying a coke from McDonalds, after I gave the girl my money Ashton says "Mom that girl doesn't like Jesus, she just cares about money!" I was sooo glad she closed the window before this comment was made!

Colten was being bossy and showing his dad a lot of attitude.
Aaron: Colten this is my house...
Colten: Yours house?
Aaron: Yeah and I'm sharing it with you and letting you live here, you like living with mom and dad right?
Colten: Yeah (bobbing head up and down)
Aaron: You need to share and be nice if you're living in my house.
At this point Aaron starts teasing him...
Aaron: You have 16 more years and then you're out! Ha Ha Ha
Colten starts crying: 16 years?
So of course I start crying, my poor baby is terrified that he's getting kicked out! Hugs all around etc.
Later Aaron and Colten are in the garage.
Colten: Dad this is yours house, and my garage!
Lesson learned.

Reagan (with hand raised in a stop position and her nose turned up): I don't wan it!
