10 years ago...1998.
hmmm...I was in 8th grade. We lived in Pine Arizona and our class was working on raising money to go to Washington DC for our 8th grade trip. That summer I kissed the first guy ever and fell in"young love". I was getting out of my awkward stage which was nice cause, man was I awkward!! We went to DC, had a blast and then I graduated 8th grade. I sang a little solo at graduation and was off to high school!

5 Years Ago...2003.
This was an exciting year! Drew and I had been married for about 4 months when this year started! I was about 3 months preggo with our first kid! We picked up and moved to Utah from Nevada and lived in a mother in law apartment with my sister and her hubby at the time. It was in the basement which was quite depressing! But I remember being preggo there and trying to set up a nursery in my large closet that had a window in it....yeah weird...anyway we moved from that house to a house up by the Dee events center. We shared a 2 bedroom house with my sis and her hubby. I had Lainee that June and things were never the same! Having a kid changes your whole life! I loved it and still love it!
Drew as most people know is a convert and it was during this time that we lived up on 44th st. that he took the missionary discussions!! He accepted the Gospel and was Baptised in September I beleive. It wasnt too long after that we started going to Temple prep classes. Which we took more than once!! hehe!
When Lainee was about 4 months old we decided to move back to Nevada. No real good reason. Just missed our friends and Drew's side of the family. So we moved in with his parents for a while. I babysat a family with 4 girls accross the street every morning and Drew's mom would bring Lainee to me when she woke up. We eventually rented our own appartment and Drew sold cell phones and I worked as a data entry person.

I buzzed his head.....

Makai has some strange OCD thing where after his bath he wouldn't put on his shirt unless his hair was brushed. Then he decided it had to be blo dried too before he would put a shirt on....so I buzzed his head! It was really sad to see all his pretty hair come off....I loved it long but he was adding an unnecessary stress, so I fixed the problem! check out the pic of him down from Lainee's birthday party that we had at my moms. His hair was in his eyes! I LOVED IT!! Here is how he looks now with his "cool" hair as he puts it. He likes it cause he looks like daddy now!

Let's celebrate!!!

I have great news!! Drew got a cost of living raise and a promotion!!! He now makes $16.25 an hour!!! Isn't that great! We can put more money away for a house!!! YAY!!!
Let's celebrate and do something fun!!!:D

We Love summer!!

SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER TIME!!! SUMMER TIME!!! So as you all can figure....I love summer time! I have alot planned for this summer!! Since I'm not preggo this year I can do a lot more! Many of the things we will be doing are for the kids! They will always come first no matter what!
So...we payed for the summer movie program at the theater in the mall. The movies end up being about 50 cents or something crazy like that! The movies are kid movies and ones that are already out for rent, but going to the theater makes it all worth it! So we do that on tuesday morning at 10 am!
We get to go down to the school and get free school lunch all summer! Which is nice cause I don't have to make anything....I don't have to clean up and best of all IT'S FREE!!! And if I want to eat it's only $2.50...not bad! We walk so it's good exercise for us all!
I will be signing the kids up for swimming lessons on monday which will be fun and I would like to take lots of trips to the local water park/pool!
We will be fixing up the tent trailer here soon. All it really needs is new benches for the table and it needs to be rekeyed. After that we will be taking some fun camping trips!! Our lovely neighbors want to go on a camping trip with us sometime which will be fun cause I love them to death! They are the best neighbors EVER!!!
We have a family reunion and a trip to canyon lands this year!!
Plus I HAVE to go to Lagoon at least once this year since I wasnt able to go last year!!
Oh and we have bikes. We just need to get a trailer and a seat to put Kado in on the back of mine. Drew will pull the kids in the bike trailer and that should be tons of fun!
I would like to go hiking a lot and Drew wants to go on a fishing trip sometime this summer! I think losing some weight would be fantastic!

Oh.....and I have a job to help with the things I would like to do...like my hair, nails, and makeup stuff.... that is going to be taking up some of my time as well.

So that's pretty much our plans for the summer! On our more quiet days we will just kick it at home and play in the sun on the slip and slide!
What are your plans? let's get together ya ya ya!!

Lainee is 5!!!!

Well today is Lainee's 5th birthday! I can't beleive how fast the past 5 years has gone by! We have grown so much and I just can't beleive how great it is!

We are having a family birthday party at my moms house today. Here are some pics from the party up there!





I don't know why I was making that face...








She loves my little ponies!! Thanks Tannon and Jossi!!


My brother Tannon and his pretty wife Jossi!!


I would have gone to church but I am sick. Food poisoning or something....yuck! Anyway when she gets back from church with Daddy we are going to give her the new bike we got her for her birthday! She already knows what she is getting and she has been complaining that she wants it NOW!! We told her she had to wait till it was her birthday! little stink!

I want to throw her a birthday party with her friends but I got sick so it's gonna have to be next week or something. We will see. She wants Ariel as her theme and she wants to have a water fight.

It makes me sad but happy to see her all grown up. She sees me sick and says, "I'll take care of you mommy". I told her to just go play and that I would be fine, but she insisted. "No, It's ok mommy, you need me to take care of you". Even though there was nothing she could do to help me she still wanted to do something! She sat there and talked sweetly to me and felt my forehead. She will be a wonderful Mommy someday!!!!
