Spring Break

For spring break this year we went BACK TO OREGON!!!  I love that place very much and it had been a few years since my kids had the chance to go so we talked our friends into renting a house on the beach at Depoe Bay and it was an AWESOME vacation...even with my kidney problems.  

My kids love to hike and that makes me VERY happy.  

They don't complain too much and love the nature and the treats in their backpacks and its just a great time spent together.  

I look awful...freaking kidneys.  

Cannon decided he wanted to sit and meditate on this rock for a minute.  

He is such a funny kid.  

The Denker's were a fun family to play with.  

Got to love the Cheese Factory

It really is one of the most beautiful places ever

I could go there over and over and over

Munson Falls

We loved our little house right on the beach and played in the sand almost every single day. 

And we took walks every single night

Sitting in the hot tub was also a favorite activity.  

We really loved being able to spend time with Aunt Tonya too.

This was the tub in our bathroom.  My kids took baths every single night with no hesitation.  

I was too drugged on pain killers to drive so I was very thankful for J being willing to drive us around once Curtis left.  

January Fun

Kylee lost her 3rd tooth and then just days later lost her 4th tooth.  

She pulled both teeth out all by herself.  

Love that toothless grin.  

Yes we are all fake sleeping but this is how we spend almost every night.  I love these two with all my heart and am so glad they snuggle me and hold me and spend so much time with me.  I am so lucky to be their mom.  

How cute it my family!?!  I am so blessed.

They have been having a Jazz reading contest all month long and Cannon loves that he gets to wear Jazz gear every Friday.  I think he looks so dang cute.  

We took a really quick trip up to Boise over the MLK holiday.  

All the Cosper grandkids together.  

And of course we had to take a silly picture. 

On our way home from Boise Cannon had to go to the bathroom so bad we stopped at the scenic Gorge turn off so he could water a bush. 

Its a very beautiful place. 

We got to babysit baby Julia and it was so much fun.  There was one point of the night when Kylee was holding the baby and I was cooking us dinner.  Julia got a little fussy and Kylee couldn't get her to stop and I had to finish stirring our meal so it didn't burn.  Cannon was just sitting at the counter, not doing a thing to help, and blurts out...GOSH, babysitting is hard.
It made me laugh.  

We got Julia a bottle and she was happy as can be.

It was so cute watching Kylee and Cannon interact with her.

I would have loved to had more siblings for them but am so glad they have baby cousins to play with and enjoy.  

Christmas Eve Ice Skating

I love Ice Skating!

I love my family!

I love my friends who are family!

Cannon and Kylee both loved this activity.  I wish we took them more often.  

I love this little girl.  She is sweet and kind hearted and she is just my little buddy.  I'm so glad she is in my life.  

It was fun to spend time with the Keller's and I hope that we have many more ice skating dates in the future.  

We spent the rest of the night at my Grandma's house enjoying our usual family traditions of Bingo and Carols.  It was a great night.  

Emilee + Tucker = Eternity

 Emilee and Tucker have been working to get ready for the temple and on their one year anniversary of their wedding, they were able to go through the temple for their first time.  

They chose the Brigham City temple to go through for their endowment session.  

It was a beautiful night and very awesome to be there with almost all my family.  

Of course you have to eat after the Temple and we enjoyed a great dinner together at Maddox.  

Then the next day her and Tucker were sealed in the Bountiful Temple.  

All the girls in my family have been married in the Bountiful Temple, and so far all the boys have been sealed in the Salt Lake Temple.  Just a random fact for you.  

This is all of Tucker's family after the sealing.

This picture is hilarious because absolutely no one was ready for it.  

Don makes me laugh.  So funny.  

This was the whole gang that was there.  

Just the Eisenbarth's

Just the parents

It was a beautiful day.

I'm really proud to be Em's sister. 

She is such a great person and I feel so lucky to have her in my life.

Tucker is one of the best guys I have ever met.

I'm so glad she found him and so glad they will be together forever.
