Crash Sunday....Nice to have everyone home and hanging out

Late post again. Last sunday we had everyone out. I am absolutely loving having all of my kids here and having their friends over. We had a good Sunday except for a slight accident. Kendall wanted to drive the razor. Even though I told them no on Sunday him and Kaden went for a ride. They came back and Kaden kind of strolled casually through the house. Kendall went straight into the bathroom. They were pretty quiet. Kendall eventually told Rachel to come into the bathroom. This is what she found. They had crashed the razor. Somehow I don't know how but Kaden didn't get hurt. They rolled it. They didn't have seat belts on. Kendall ended up having stitches. Hope none of you get sick from looking at this. Won't this make Kendall's head look wonderful. His sister is getting married the next week. He will look great for pictures.


After the accident Kendall feeling a little beat up. He gashed his arm and had huge bruises on his shoulder and knee.


Matt looking a little blurry. I think we about drove Matt nuts. He said he couldn't stand just sitting around doing nothing. The rest of us enjoyed it.

Matt's report

Well I have been slow posting. You probably all figured I was done since Matt was home. My life has been a little boring but anyways. This was Matt's dinner after he reported his mission on the 31st. It was a full house at church. Not only did Matt report but they changed our Bishopric also that day. Matt did a great job. It still just amazes me to see how easily he talks in church. I think I need to go on a mission.

Here are some of the missionaries from his mission that came up to his report.




Alex and Andrea (Matt's friends) they are getting married June 27th

It was a beautiful day. The weather was perfect. We had a lot of people there to support Matt. We couldn't have asked for a better day. It's nice to have him home.

Pics of the big day......Amazing

Well he is home. He looked great and it was absolutely so exciting to see what a great man he is. Everyone was there to see him come in. The kids had all made posters and we were all really excited. He of course was one of the last ones to get off the plane. We waited and waited and he finally showed up. We all visited at the airport then took him to be released. The Stake President interviewed him then invited Dave and I in. He told us that he knew that Matt had been an excellent missionary. He said that he had given two years plus everything he had to give. He gave him a lot of good advice. We then headed home. Rachel and Kendall had picked up carne asada to cook. Some of Matt's friends came over to see him. It was just so great having him home. I am not sure that he thinks it is that great but we did. He seems a little lost and tired but I think it will be good.


Here I am saying no pictures. I was so nervous and I don't even know why. Everyone was laughing at how nervous I was.

Me getting my first hug in two years. I even cried and I rarely cried. It was just so great to see him.

Just catching up. Of course I was always close by

Him wondering what to do next and me telling him, ha ha

He looks so good

Telling Brenan to hand over the keys. Brenan didn't think that was too funny

It was a great experience. How thankful I am to Matt for giving our family this experience. I will miss having a missionary out in the field but it will be great to see the changes in Matt.

Happy 15th Birthday Kaden!!!

Yesterday was Kaden's birthday. Unfortunately he had to go to school and football weight lifting. They finished around 6:15. Dave and I met everyone up to Wingers in Rexburg to celebrate. Wingers is Kadens favorite place to eat. We had a great time then to Rachel's for ice cream cake.

Kaden I want you to know how much we love you. We are so glad you are in our family. Being the baby isn't always the easiest place to be. Everyone likes to pick on you and tease you. You are great. You are so on the ball. You hate it when any of us make you late. You worry about your school work and have to have it in on time. You keep your room clean (most of the time) You make us laugh here at home over some of the things you worry about. You make us all want to try just a little harder. We love you so much. Thanks for being the great kid that you are. You are so helpful to me. Even though you think you have to do everything because your the youngest. We hope you had a great day. Enjoy your golf clubs. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Here is Kaden opening his presents. He got new golf clubs and golf balls. He is trying to keep his bare toes away from our piranha dog, who bites everything.



All of us at Wingers enjoying the night. Dave to busy eating to look at the camera, Kendall watching the game. The girls cheesing it and the boys looking too cool for the camera!!

Kaden just waiting for his sticky fingers. You could think he could smile a little. Oh well teenagers.

Enjoying his birthday dessert!!

Brenan and Allie, Commencement 09

Brenan took Allison Taylor to the commencement dance. They had a good time. They had a huge group as you can see. The leaders parents put a lot of work into their dinner. They decorated and had a great meal. The kids went to a movie and to lunch. The boys went shooting while the girls got ready. They went to another movie after the dance. They had a good time. Pretty cute picture even if I do say so myself.
