Eliza is taking a dancing class, she just loves it!
Eliza was invited to a Fancy Nancy party, she was so excited and had a lot of fun
Brayden and Eliza being so silly, they dress silly almost everyday!
Our hail storm, it broke Eliza's window it was so strong and big!
Brayden was so excited that it was "snowing" that is what the kids called the Hail

Found It!

Eliza holding hail from the hail storm
Roxy and Free at Free's White coat ceremony
At Freeman's White Coat Ceremony, I got terrible blurry pictures (thanks camera!)
Went to Utah for Daves wedding, the kids had fun dressing up!
Brayden turned 5! We really did not do much just cake at Grandmas, since it was close to us leaving for Utah
As you can tell I found my camera cord and am very excited about it!

Long Time

It has been a long time since I have blogged........ So much has happened
Here is the short version: We moved to Glendale; it is nice out here but I do admit I miss the East Side! Free started Pharmacy school. There is an end in sight! He is kicking butt as usually and is getting close to being done with two quarters!
Eliza started a dance class in which she just loves, it is all she talks about.
Brayden started Karate and loves it ( I may be partial but I think he is the best in his class!)
Free just had his White Coat Ceremony (Thanks to my wonderful cousin Aubrey for babysitting!) It was a nice Ceremony. I have pictures but the bad news is that I cannot find my cord for my Camera, which means pictures will come later...

Kori came into to town and was nice to take pictures, the lighting was not very great but it is like pulling teeth and nails to get Free to ever take a picture! So going to someone was out of the question!

Brayden

Yesterday Brayden came in holding his snake and lion and he said to Free and I "I am going to make the scariest movie! It is going to be so scary it will be PG-13!" We just love having kids they are so funny!

Grandma

My sweet Grandma is in the Hospital. We all love her so much and wish her well. We would love any prayers for her!

Valentines party!

A little late but here are a few pics from the valentines party we had at my cousins house. The kids had so much fun!

Happy Mother's Day

I thought I would post a quick tribute to my Mother.
I am so lucky to have such a wonderful Mom. She is always willing to help out. She is always trying to give service to others and is such a wonderful example. She works hard at all of her callings even doing special activities for Nursery. She helps to take care of my kids when I am sick. When I was so sick pregnant with Eliza she watched Brayden so much! She is my favorite Shopping buddy. We could shop all day if we had the chance. It is really fun to shop with her and my sisters! She loves to go garage selling with me (we do that a lot) She has gone through a lot and is still standing strong!
Love You Mom! Happy Mothers Day!

What is our Country turning into?

STUDENTS SENT HOME FOR WEARING THE AMERICAN FLAG!!!!

I am pretty sure we are still living in America, so why is it wrong to wear our Flag?

I love it!

I heard about her watching a Diamondbacks game. A Girl Knuckle ball pitcher playing professionally for Japan! Way cool!

Yoshida, the petite 18-year-old who became the first female drafted by a Japanese professional team, Kobe 9 Cruise of the Kansai Independent Baseball League, made her pro debut on March 26, 2009, at the Osaka Dome. She learned how to throw a knuckleball as a young girl by watching video of Wakefield.


Yoshida, who stands 5-foot-1 and throws her knuckleball with a sidearm motion, is in the United States to pitch in the independent Arizona Winter League. She got her first win on Feb. 12, tossing four shutout innings for the Yuma Scorpions.

Watch her pitch HERE

Today I made snickerdoodles. It was the first time my kids have ever had them. Brayden and Eliza loved them. They each had two cookies. Brayden just would not stop pestering me for more. I told them they could have one more after dinner. A few minutes later while I was putting clothes away Brayden came in and said "Momma, how long will I have to stay in my room if I take a cookie?"
That boy was planning on sneaking a cookie he just wanted to know if the punishment was worth it! They way he thinks! Needless to say I put the cookies where they cannot get them!

New Post

Time for a new post.
Life is so crazy right now! We just had a fun week filled with activities while Kori was here. We took the kids to a movie, made crafts, went to the Arizona Science center, the park and shopping. We had a lot of fun on Easter at my Uncle Johns house, with a great dinner, fun easter egg hunt and riding his horse!
Now we are in the process of finishing all the paperwork for Free to start Midwestern in June! I cannot believe how quickly it is approaching. I am busy packing for our big move to Glendale! It will be so nice to finally be done and in Pharmacy school! We have three years left and Free is done with school! I am very excited to have my husband back!
Last night Eliza snuck butter out of the kitchen when she was supposed to be in bed, minutes later she came out and was covered in Butter! I am sure she now has silky smooth buttery skin!
Some days I feel like I cannot get anything done with the way my kids mess everything up! I guess that is how it goes, sure makes it stressful for me! It will all be worth it I know!

Thanks

Thanks Obama for adding more work to the school loans, for eliminating a program Midwestern has to help them give need based scholarships! Wow is this health bill just great (can you just hear the sarcasm pouring out)

We recently had the opportunity to go to Missouri to visit Family. We had a lot of fun. It was a long long drive but worth it. We stayed with Free's brother Clark and wife Melanie. They were so nice to let us stay with them. We had so much fun hanging out and staying up late. The kids always talk about them and their house and their Stinky Cheese! (It really left an impression with Brayden how much their fresh cheese stunk!) We visited Free's parents also. Free and Clark and Brayden and their Dad went shooting. Brayden was so excited to go and he really wants a gun now. Brayden talks about the guns he shot and how he wants to go shooting again. We took the kids to Bass Pro which is the biggest one there is. There was a real live Alligator. It was a very cool store. Then We went horseback riding, it was fun and cold. Brayden thought he was a real cowboy! We really enjoyed our trip to MO. Here are some pictures!

Life

I have not written in a while about what has been going on. Well yesterday I had the privilege of helping my mom plant a garden. We are doing it together and therefore we will have yummy fresh veggies. We planted tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, parsley, oregano and are going to do carrots and cucumbers. I am so excited for our garden!
Free has been busy with school and work, really he never has a moment to spare! I keep telling myself it will all be worth it when he is done!
I have been busy watching the Olympics (well not busy) I just enjoy watching them!
I have been busy working on school loans and grants for Pharmacy school! So much to learn about the different types of loans, and then very stressful to think of how much money we will have to borrow! Midwestern is not cheap, but that is what happens when you go to such a great school! We are very excited for our move to Glendale which is quickly approaching! I am working on getting rid of more stuff (Easier said then done).
The kids are doing great!

Christmas and life

A few more Disneyland Pictures, we sure had a lot of fun!


After Free took his last final we made a trip to the zoo! Way fun we love the Phoenix zoo!
Christmas morning! The kids were so much fun! Yes Liza got a snake, Brayden got 2 (I love garage sales!)
The kids Christmas outfits for church, Liza was being a pill! Thanks to my sister for giving Liza her daughters old clothes! The dress is really cute!
Brayden seeing Santa. He was so excited to go sit on Santa's lap. Poor Eliza she was there too but got sick and threw up! My mom was nice enough to take her home, so she did not get to see Santa this year!

DISNEYLAND!

We had the pleasure of going to Disneyland this past week! Thanks to my Grandparents who payed the way. We had a whole bunch of family, and it was so much fun! I was sad to leave. My kids loved it!!!! I have tons of pictures but my camera is acting up and some are blurry I am sad about that, but I will post them anyway!
