Miss Raegan

She loves chocolate!

Aren't these sweet sunglasses? She thought they

were.

Do they think its summer?

Last Friday, we had a very nice day.

If was great! It melted a lot of snow.

It was probably um....mid 50's.

I turn my back for a few minutes and this is what I find.







My kids all had their swim suits on and were out jumping on the trampoline. I did put my foot down at them putting the sprinkler on though. I love the pics of them walking through the snow with their sandles or socks on.

I think they are more than ready for summer to get here. Guess I'll have to hide the swim suits until I think it is warm enough to sport them.

He ditched us!

Another little note about church yesterday.

I am the choir director in our ward and with it being Ward Conference, I had a short practice before church started. So Ryan was in charge of getting the kids to church...and on time.

My kids came in about 10 minutes before church was to start, but without their dad. I asked where he was and my daughter told me that he just dropped them off and left. I was a little baffled, but thought that maybe he had forgot something at home and ran back to get it. But he never showed up to church.

After church, I was finally able to find all the children, which is quite a feat anymore. They just remodeled our church and there are a lot more hallways and foyers to lose kids in. I think they need to provide tracking devices or something. Anyhoo, that is a whole difference story.

We made it home and Ryan was a sleep in the recliner. I learned that he had gotten sick right before church and supposedly had told Kaylee why he was not coming to church. She didn't hear him, I guess.

My father-in-law asked my son, Bo, why Ryan wasn't at church and Bo's response to him was "HE DITCHED US!" That is so typical Bo. We all had a good laugh about that.

Rollercoaster Ride, by Bo Ward

During church, I often let my kids draw in an attempt to keep them somewhat quiet. I'm not sure why Bo decided to draw a rollercoaster, but as it turns out, it didn't help in keeping me quiet.

The funny part is that he announced to me to look at the ones upside down. "Hey Mom, look at them smiling while they are upside down."

Those are the biggest frowns I've ever seen. Reminded me of my husband. He doesn't do loopy rides...he makes big "smiles" too. I couldn't help but laugh at his little picture with the smiles and standup hair.

Singing in my sleep

The other morning my dear husband informed me that I had been singing Hawaiian songs in my sleep during the night.

I am in a women's chior in Rexburg and this spring we are having a Hawaiian themed concert because one of our directors lived in Hawaii for about 6 months the end of last year.

Here is one of the songs we will be singing. Should be a fun concert, just ask my husband.

I've been tagged!

This is the 6th picture in my 6th folder. Not sure if I'm playing right, but my photos are not organized at all right now. I have lots of folders that just have 1 or 2 pictures in them so I had to go all the way to folder 6 to make this work.

This is my baby Raegan, who is not much of a baby anymore. I had dressed her in her blessing dress that I bought off Ebay for $10. I wanted to get some pics taken before the actual blessing day because it tends to get busy. She was about 2 1/2 weeks in this picture. She will be 2 years old next month.

I tag Whitney and Jeralyn and anyone else who wants to participate. :)

Chili Cookoff Champions!

Ryan and Bo went to the father and sons banquet on Saturday. They were having a chili cookoff.

We have a great recipe that is Ryan's Grandma Muirhead's recipe. He decided to go ahead and give it a try and he won 1st place with it out of about 8 other contestants.

Here is the trophy.

Congradulations guys!

Snowmachine ride

This past weekend, I went on my first and probably only snowmachine ride this winter. I don't get to go often, but I sure had a great time. I went with my husband, Ryan, the Roberts', the Weekes', and Lerwills. Although, the Lerwills had to leave because of machine malfunction so they didn't get to actually ride with us.

We unloaded at Bear Gulch and rode a loop up past Pole Bridge Campground and ended up down at Mesa Falls. It was a beautiful day and a fun ride. My poor body is feeling the 55 mile ride though. And I am proud to say that I only got bucked off once and it was because I was trying to be adventurous and go over a small jump....sideways. Not a good idea, but like I said, I was being adventurous.

Here are some pics of the trip.
