I know, I know I haven't posted in forever!

I have had a lot going on lately and I'm sorry I haven't posted. Well there has been lots of good and bad. A few weekends ago we went to Phoenix for a softball tournament. They didn't win but they played until 11:30! Thanks to Nicole jinxing us! But it was fun and the weather was beautiful! Anyway then when we got home I have been having some major freaky anxiety attacks! But with the best family and friends ever, a priesthood blessing , a little bit of meds and a new job, I'm finally doing better! We took the kids bowling in Show Low this weekend and they had a blast! Ganon beat everyone but Jace! How sad is that! Him and Tae were so cute they would lean which ever way they wanted the ball to go. So anyway here are some pictures of the softball tournament and bowling.

Me and my horse Lucky

A friend at work drew this picture of me in Paint! I love it, I think it is crazy how much it really looks like me! Anyway I thought I would share!

1st lost tooth

Ganon came home from school and smiled and said "look what I did." His two front teeth have been loose and he has been so excited to loose them so he could go to the office and get a prize. So I asked him if Mrs. Benson pulled it at school and he said "no Tanner Brown pulled it on the bus!" I was laughing so hard, I wish I would have been there to hear the conversation that took place before the tooth was pulled! He said "I'm so excited to go to the office and get a prize!" I asked him if he had to take the tooth with him and he said "no mom you just show them the hole!" Ok I'm dying laughing at this point so I call my mom who works with Tommee, Tanner's mom. I asked her to call her and tell her the story. Tommee freaked out at first but then got a kick out of it too. She asked Tanner why he pulled it and he said, well it was loose and he needed some money! She said that he told Ganon "buddy you better get ready cause your gonna bleed all over the place!" I can't believe these boys! I remember being scared to death to have my dad pull my teeth and Ganon just lets his friends on the bus! He got $5 from the tooth fairy and he loves his smile! It is pretty cute, the child couldn't look any orneryer if he tried!

Disney on Broadway- The Lion King

Simba and Nala

Jacque took me, Tylar, Paytyn and Ramsey to the Broadway play "The Lion King" at ASU Gammage Theater. It was not at all what I had expected. It was so much more! I loved it!!! The costumes and music were UNREAL! If you have never seen it you should definitely go! We went to the last show in Phoenix but I am definitely going to watch for it to come again! It was a great weekend, we had lots of fun shopping and eating out. Aunt Sheli made us some REALLY good fresh squeezed lemonade from the lemons off her tree and we just hung out! Oh and I found out that my nieces talk more than anyone I have ever met! And age 8-13 kids are just weird! But I love them anyways :) Thanks Jacque!!!

My upset model!

Adison was in such a good mood this morning. She put her pink boots on and looked so stinkin cute so I thought it would be a good day to take some practice pictures. AS SOON as I took my camera out of the bag there were intant tears! Then I gave her a sucker and she cheered up for some of them but I think they all turned out pretty cute. Poor baby... I love pictures and she hates them!

My Pictures

So since I got my new camera for Christmas I've been taking pictures of EVERYTHING!!! I love it but I have also been beating myself up a little bit. Its funny this new camera has added a lot of pressure to take great pictures. I feel like they are all mediocre and I want them to be AWESOME! I am working on getting some photo editing software but right now they are all natural and un-edited. I guess practice makes perfect and you can't really go wrong when you are doing something you love! And as always I am my own worst critic!!!

Christmas Morning

We had such a good Christmas! Ganon got a new bike and a leapster from Santa and Adi got a power wheels four wheeler and a puppy that barks and moves. They were so cute! I love watching my kids open presents. Santa LOVES me, he brought me a super cool camera (that I still can't figure out) and a pretty diamond necklace and bracelet! He's the best! Anyway I'm so bummed its all over. I love the spirit people have around Christmas and I love that everything about Christmas is so family oriented! I'm looking forward to the New Year and I sure hope it will be better than last year! Hope everyone had a great Christmas!
