I know I am such a slacker, But life is busy! (and I forgot how to do this oops)

Ok, Every one don't Drop dead of a Heart attack ok.

Life has just been a little busy, But I am determined

to update this thing even if it kills me, so be patient with me.

Here are some of our Highlights for the 2009 year.

Starting with Jan.

Keith and I were invited to go with some friends,

on a Adult trip to Disney Land, yes it does sound

a little wierd to go with out your kids,

But I have to say it was a lot of fun and we got

to do a lot more things with out them.

No, we probably won't ever go with out them again, but it was fun to try once..

In Feb. we celebrated Madison's 5 th

Birthday, Which a Princess (of course)

Birthday party.

In March, we celebrated Colton' s 11 th Birthday.

He also Graduated from scouts and earned his

Arrow of light.

In April we visited Keiths mom in St. George.

And she had a Easter Egg hunt for the Grand kids,

Which they loved. Then we spent the rest of the weekend

At dad's house in Monroe, With the Bagley cousins where

we had anouther Egg Hunt, And died Easter Eggs with

grandma Joan.

In May Keith Finally Recieved his Bachelor's

Which we were all very proud of him, It was a long

Road but he stuck with it and he'll be better for
it. We also, went to our property down in wayne county

For the memorial day weekend, with keith's sister Karla's family

It rained alot but we were able to go into Capital reef for one of the days.

In June We got a new puppy, Suprise we named her Kadie.

You know we had Lady, and Sadie so whould expect

anything Different...She is a Australian Shephard,

and fits into our family just right.

We went on more trips to Wayne County,

with keith's Mom, and a few friends The shober's and Nelsons.

We did a lot of 4-wheeling, and Hiking around Capital Reef,

We even Hiked to Calf Creek Falls, (a 6mile round trip hike) Which was hot and long but well worth it in the end,

it was so pretty, and the kids loved swimming there.

We Also went to the Okuier?( As you can see I am not a good speller) Okuir Temple with my sisters and Their families except for Ashley who now lives in Indiana, ( we missed you sis.)

In July on the 4th We went.... Guess where? Back to Wayne county, this time with my Sister LaDonna and her family, It was alot of fun we did more hikeing and some Geo casching and watched Torreys Parade, which was pretty good.

Oh, ya I forgot we also Celebrated Alex's 10th Birthday on July 1st.

We also went Camping with some good friends the Harmer's up Manti, and we did some more 4 wheeling.

Ok, finally Aug. We Went with some good friends the Shobers and Took the kids to the Zoo, The Air force Museam, and This is the place Heritage Park.

Then Last week our Primary had the funnest activity and took all of the kids to the manti temple. And then last weekend we went Where? Back to Wayne county, your right. This time we went with Keiths Brothers family Kelly and Sam. We Did some more geo casching and visited Capital Reef, and just relaxed and let the kids ride their 4-wheelers. Kind of a last herauh before school starts.

P.S. Forget what I said about Keeping this stupid thing up. Holy cow I am about ready to swear, every time I think Iam done, I check it and a picture dissapears this is so not worth my time, I am so sick of this stupid thing. so if things don't make since because there is a picture missing oh well, I am washing my hands of this. so enjoy and maybe, ( and that is a big Maybe) I will do this again.

But not for a very very long time....
