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!
