Yes...we're still alive!!!

Sorry for the LONG absence!!! First I was really slacking, now our computer is having some serious problems and blogspot is blocked from work, so no updating during work hours! I promise I'll update this as soon as we get the computer up and running! For now, here's a family picture!

Weird things about myself, in no particular order:

1. My hair was always blonder and I was more tan after going on vacation to Oregon while attending college in Hawaii.
2. I sing REALLY loud to my favorite songs in the car.
3. I can't get myself to sit down and watch any of the movies that most girls love, Sense & Sensibility, Emma...Never have seen any of them!
4. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. Watch the movies a million times & still love 'em!
5. I can learn to play just about any song on the piano once I've heard it, but if I haven't ever heard it I have a really hard time getting it down!
6. If I wait too long to eat I get a headache and it takes me about a week to get rid of it again.

TAG!!! You're IT!

Fun Pictures from the Past Month


It's been a little crazy around here, but I feel like I finally get to take a little bit of a break...then we got asked to speak in church on Sunday, John's off to a 5 mile hike with the scouts on Friday and I am going to help the Primary out with their music until they can get a chorister, I guess life never slows down! Here's some pictures of the past few weeks. Some are from our trip to Yellowstone, the Maughan Family Reuion, helping dad build the front path (also one of him playing in his outdoor "playpin" while we worked), getting into the pool table pockets (yes he's now tall enough to reach in a get the balls out), sitting like a big boy at the table and enjoying one of the peppers from the garden...not sure if the stem was as good as the pepper! Enjoy!

I am Mulan

Found this on my Sister-In-Law's blog and thought it was cute!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Strong and spirited. You're no one's girly girl; actually you are very determined person with a strong sense of self. Never let go of that! The only thing that equals your sense of self is your family, but the traditions of society can always be bent to protect something or someone you love.

Which Disney Pricess are you?

Back from Idaho

We made it safely back from Idaho on Saturday. We went out to the annual Maughan Family Reunion. This year we stayed in Island Park and visited Yellowstone and a little old town called Virginia City. It was fun. We got lots of good pictures so I'll post some soon! It was fun and we can now add Montana and Wyoming to the states that we've visited!

Marks of a true BOY!

Well, it's been a bit of a rough week for the little guy, but he's come out of it still smiling! Last weekend at the campout he got burned by a coal that flew out of the fire. It landed right above his collar and burned him pretty bad. Then Thursday he got is first road rash...right on his face!
But, being the tough kiddo that he is, he's all smiles and still loving life!

What happened to July?

It sure seems like this month has flown by faster than I could have imagined! When I think of summer I imagine relaxing and enjoying the weather...well, this year it's been lots of the enjoying the weather, not so much of the relaxing! Our month has been full of traveling to visit family, planning trips to visit more family, having family visit us (VERY FUN!!!), busy with callings, scout camp, camping, trying to keep the garden and yard in shape through the crazy weather this year...you name it, it seems to be happening this month! I don't know how we ended up being so busy, but it's lots of fun. I wouldn't change a thing! I've put some pictures of our most recent adventures, ward campout that I was in charge of, and the trip to the zoo and water park with some of the cousins.

Ward Campout was a Success!!!

We ended up having about 75 people at our first campout in years!!! I'd call it a success for our TINY little ward!

Peyton and shoes

Peyton is just like every kid I've heard of, and he LOVES shoes. The funniest thing about it though is that he always goes for my pink shoes! It drives John crazy!!! It's so funny!

Grandma Time!!!

Thanks mom for coming up and watching Peyton all week! He had a blast and he keeps looking for you to show you everything! I realized that I didn't get any pictures of you two playing together...bummer...it was so cute! We'll have to take some next week at Shasta! Thanks again, you're the best!

HOT Weather in Woodburn...WAHOO!!!

It finally feels like summer! We blew up the pool for Peyton and he just couldn't wait to get in it. He didn't even wait for the water...


Then once it was filled up he thought that was pretty fun too...


But when daddy got in too...that was the best!

A week straight at work with mom sure will tucker a poor kid out!


But don't worry too much...he's not spoiled at work or anything!

Fathers Day & Birthdays

BBQ & Sports...every father's favorite!


Happy Birthday Savannah & Hailey!
