Thank You to our Soldiers!!

A friend sent me an e-mail with this in it: CLICK HERE FOR MOVIE.


I thought it was kind of neat. Here is her website: http://www.gratitudecampaign.org/index.php. It has the story behind her ideas and some other things. I thought is was neat because it is such a simple silent way to say Thank You that is easy to do and it doesn't make anyone feel uncomfortable or awkward.

Spring is here ........ Finally!!!

We decided to take advantage of the nice weather today and went to the park. We packed up and headed to Grandma's for a little visit (dad headed for the mountains with the 4 wheeler). There is a nice little park near my mom and dad's house that the girls love. Kyler seemed content in the sun. This was really the first time he spent more than a few minutes in the sun and he had a huge grin on his face the whole time.

(I love this picture, check out Kelsie's face and Kamrin's hair!!!)

It was nice to finally get to wear short sleeves, capri's and flip flops! I just hope that the sunshine is here to stay.

After completely wearing out the kids we headed to the theatre to see Nim's Island. It was a very good movie, the girls loved it!!

My friend Brandi did this on her blog and I was curious to see what my name said about me, so this is what it came up with:

What Heather Means

You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

It was kind of fun ti see how some fit and some don't. Anyway if you want to try for yourself click here.

Our Sunday Drive

We loaded into the truck this afternoon and went for a little Sunday drive. We went to a place that Josh goes 4 wheeling because he wanted to show us some elk that he had seen there wintering. So we decided to take my new camera and try to take a few pictures and learn how to use the thing. As, we got closer to the spot the sky got darker and it started snowing....



But, as we kept driving the sun started to shine again and we got a few pictures. I am going to have to save up and buy the lens with better zoom, but for now the quality of the pictures with this camera is much better than my old one.







Finally, right before we headed home we saw a few elk on the side of the road. I was able to get this picture. The sad thing is they were closer, but I was so excited to take a picture of them that I forgot to use what little zoom that I did have. Oh, well it was fun to see and we had a great time together. The girls love looking for things through the binoculars and spotting scope, they are daddy's girls for sure!

Kyler in the Tub & Girls Playing!

Kyler loves the tub!! He is going to fit right in our family, since we spend a lot of time around water. Now if we could only get Kamrin to like it too...

I was able to catch a picture of the girls playing... they won't look at the camera anymore. I am lucky if I can get them to look at me for long!

Stadium of Fire!!

Josh and I went to the stadium of fire when we were first married and had no children. We loved it! We talked about how cool it would be to get to go and take our kids one day. We decided that this year would be a good year to go. Kels and Kamrin are getting older and Kyler is sooo easy to take places. Well, on The 1st they announced that Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana was the performer attending, along with the Blue Man group and Glenn Beck as the host.

I got a little disappointed realizing that it would be virtually impossible to get a ticket with that kind of entertainment. I decided that I would still try. Tickets went on sale at 5 pm today and I was able to get some! I am so excited because Kelsie loves Hannah Montana! We aren't telling the girls who we are going to see, we are going to surprise them!

General Conference Activity

My sister-in-law just sent me a really neat conference activity packet for kids of all ages. I can't find a way to post it, but I will e-mail it to anyone who would like it. Just leave a comment with your e-mail address and I will send it via e-mail.
