The Snake Birthday party

For his birthday, Sheila found some guy that has a bunch of snakes and throws "snake parties."  They got some hands-on learning about snakes.

My cute boys!

LOVE THAT DIMPLE!

Posers

They don't even have to see the camera...they KNOW it's there. Those big 'ole smiles are instantaneous. It was very cute.

Peterson Boy's

My loving friends quickly pointed out that the statue I am laying in front of is where the dogs alway go to pee. Did you NOT see they cute little boys right in front of me? Geesh!

Nathan

Don't you just LOVE that smile? He lost another tooth right before they flew out to visit.

Benjamin

Benjamin made school shopping incredibly easy. I planned on spending the morning shopping, but one trip to Target....badabing...we were back at the house and they were back in the pool....I think Target opens at 9....they were swimming by 10!

The Boys Visiting Tucson

The boys came to Tucson the week before school to do their school shopping, to go hiking, and to SWIM!

We had a friend take pictures and right before pictures, Nathan was walking Byron (dog) when he bolted after some javelina (the dog, not Nathan.) Nathan was pulled to the ground and had a band aid on his elbow for the pictures and was none to happy about it.

Kids new pics

So we had our neighbor come over and we took a bunch of pictures. Here are a few of my favorites.

4th of July ideas

So I was just looking at a few blogs and saw pictures of the narrows. What do you all think about a Zions trip?
Or maybe dad could round up a few canoes and we could go to Gunnlock?
I though out the idea of building a water fall in the wash last weekend but Seth and Corri pretty much shot that down.
Swimming in the river is always fun.
Can you tell I'm dreaming of warm weather and water?
Can't wait to see you all.

I went to Sunnyvale for Benjamin's piano recital (which, if you didn't hear about it, he did great and I actually got to hear it even though my first flight was delayed by 3 hours and they when I got to the recital, everyone knew I was late because they were waiting for B to play.) We got to see Nim's Island on the recommendation of Grandma (the boys loved it..especially the flying lizards.)

Congratulations on your new job, Corri. I hope you get to take Bert with you.

Nate, are you bored now that you're no longer a student?

See you all in July

Visiting the boys in May

Kaitlyns first piano recital

Kaitlyn loves it when Cindy plays the piano. She'll dance, sing, try to play a duet, and the other day she decided to show off how far she's come.



She's usually kind an gentle but she has her sassy side.



We sure are glad that spring is here and we can spend some time outside again :)

They even gave me a sweet sash.

Grandma & Grandpa Stoehr & newest G Grandson

Grandpa Stoehr meeting his newest Great grandson Porter Taft Hughes, @ Henderson Nv

SOOOOOOOOOOOO...

I just realized it's been awhile since I posted on here... and now Corri is even looking, and after all the crap I gave her I'd better get it going.. These are just a few fav picts of this month so far... We are all doing great, Glen starts his field training on Monday.... So he is on the streets, I guess that finally makes it kind of official. He is so excited/nervous.. But he'll do awesome. The kids are all getting huge and adorable and I'm just trying to keep up.... Can't wait to see you next weekend Cor (& fam). And thanks for getting our taxes done dad!! You are the best-at least for today, sorry mom!! :) (whoever said money can't buy love??) j/k See you guys tomorrow maybe..

Disguising the middle class

I thought this was pretty funny :)

Thanks for visiting Mom and Dad!!!

Mom and Dad came up this weekend to visit with Aunt Anne. They said she is in very good spirits and she is going on their family cruise next week no matter what. They've talked to the ship and if she dies on board they said they'll take care of it.
After visiting with Anne for a while they came up here and spent the night. We played a few games, Cindy made a wonderful dinner, and Kaitlyn and Cade were quite entertaining. Right before we took this vidoe I was spinning Kaitlyn and when I stood her up she fell straight over. I picked her up and she did it again. It was pretty funny and she loved it.

SunDAY WardROBE

thanks for the Sunday shirts dad!! It was adorable, and very much needed this morning. Of course we were scrambling to get ready this morning and I couldnt find his vest for his Sunday outfit anywhere, then I remembered this shirt. You saved the day dad :)

Great News....

So after talking to Corri last night and discovering that they recently got HIGH SPEED INTERNEt, I am very excited to let NATE know that someone else will be joining us on this blog :) (hopefully) :) YEAH!!

Good times sledding and playing

The rest of the videos aren't as long as this minute and a halfer. I thought Hailey and Lincoln would like these too.


Kaitlyn has been pretty entertaining for Cade lately. She can make him laugh harder than anyone.


So went sledding behind the football stadium by our house and we all loved it!!!


Kaitlyn even got to go by herself :)

Snowed IN ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Help! We can't see the highway from our house because there is so much snow. Church got cancelled today, and school is closed tomorrow. Don't you wish you would've come to Bradley's Baptism now?

January Pictures

Hi everyone..Just uploaded my Jan picts and thought I would share some... Our month has been Hayli's attitude, trying to teach LIncoln "personal space". Especially when it comes to Porter-failing miserably, visits from g'ma & g'pa. Pretty much it's been a crazy month.. BUT.. Glen did finish his practicals and passed them all, so hopefully this week life should get a little more normal for him. Hayli has been playing with lots of friends lately. It's crazy that she is old enough to have friends? Lincoln's new favorite word is NO, but.. He's been a little better the last few days too.. Porter is starting to sleep a little better at night now-YEAH... Hayli just got to feed him a bottle tonight and she was so excited, she is definitely mommies big helper!! She LOVES to sit and hold him, it's very helpful most of the time.Then I just love the pict of Uncle Kelly. They came to mom & dads the night of Porter's blessing. Hayli was pretending to "teach" us so good ole uncle Kelly sat on that little Kelly sat on that little chair and totally humored her, he listened and sang primary songs with her for awhile. No wonder he is everyones favorit uncle !!
