Camp Evergreen 2008




We returned from Camp on Friday. I think that the girls were happy to be home. They were no longer having to try to get through barricades or get down to climb down the mountain. They also no longer had a leash attached to them. Yes I put leashes on them, I feel it was the only way to maybe keep control and keep them safe. Camp started out really tough. With me, Skyler, Madelyn, and Bethany throwing up on Sunday night, ALL night long. Thankfully we had some meds there that helped us through a little. Day 2 Me, Skyler, and Madelyn slowly getting to feeling better, Beth ran a temp. That night Mama and Lori joined the fun. Day 3 Me, Skyler, Beth and Madelyn felt good and things were back to normal for us. Day 4 Lori and Mama felt good again.....wait camp ends tomorrow!! It was tough those first few days, but Camp I think was really good this year considering.......Shawn was Santa Clause on Christmas Day...Mama and Lori were some of his reindeer........Shawn was a Hobo getting ready for his Chapel, it was really good. Campfire was really good as usual. Although I only made it to 2 of them. Jimmy and Luella came up on Thursday for Jimmy to Baptize Hailee...A very good day. Shawn did the archery with the kids daily, and when Daddy got there he got to shoot too. The kids called Shawn "Robin Hood" this year. And well I caught Caleb doing a little flirting with a young lady while we were there. I believe he said he got 11 #'s while we were there and 9 of them were girls...........it starts...........There were Hummingbirds that were always feeding on one of the porches. They were really neat to watch, I got a few good pictures of them. And of course all of the kids LOVED Ella and Madelyn, but who doesn't............And there are a few pictures of the girls on the way home, Madelyn enjoyed her feet..................I believe that Camp was a great Blessing to my family and I am so happy to be involved.........it is very uplifting.........There are lots of pictures sorry, but there is lots to see when you are there for a week......Can't wait to see what happens next year.............................

July 24, 2008 Devon's Birthday








July 24, 2008 I was blessed with being able to Celebrate Devon's 10th birthday with my family, and in the mountains at Camp. Devon would be very excited to know that his birthday is during Camp Evergreen. God took me through the day and showed me how blessed I am with Madelyn, Ella, and Shawn. Also with my amazing Family at my side as well. Daddy drove up to Pine Springs to be with us, we talked with Lisa and Jesse and the boys via web cam. This day is very hard, but I am comforted knowing Devon is where I long to be. I will see him again, it just hurts waiting for that day. Devon I love you with all of my Heart. I wonder how you would be changing, and growing. Would you be tall? Would your hair still be curly? Would you still hold my hand? I love you so much and I Miss you so much more that I can ever explain. I wish that Ella and Madelyn could know you. They would adore you just as they do Caleb, Skyler, Bethany, Jonathan, Jaydon, and Jordan. We had cupcakes for you, and we blew out your candle. I Miss You........................I love you Sunshine, I want to give you tons of hugs and kisses. Happy Birthday sweet boy, Mommy will see you soon!!God Please continue to carry me, and bless and watch over my family.

Getting so BUSY!!






Well it has been a while since I have posted. You would not believe how busy these little ladies are. They are both walking everywhere, and getting really fast!!
We have been having lots of fun. We took our first official trip out of town, and yes they are 14 months and we have just now ventured away from home, we went to see Lisa and Jesse. It was lots of fun, the girls did good, except for the last night, but we wont discuss that. They walked around Lisa's house in a whole new world. Lisa said on the first morning she could just see them singing that song. Madelyn would just walk in and out of every room just because she could. They were really excited, and they loved Jordan. They really loved his hair!! I think after Jordan got used to BOTH of them being a little overwhelming, he really liked them too. There was one afternoon Jordan and Ella were just off down the hall together, I am assuming to get into something!!! It was fun. We are really glad that we got to go. It was Great to see Lisa and Jesse, it had been 2 years since I had been there. Way too Long!! Here are a few pictures of when we were there and a few of the girls here at home!
I pray for God to continue to watch over and Bless my family!! I love You!!
