It has been way too long since I have updated the blog. Sorry everyone!
We have had a very long and snowy winter! I am waiting as patiently as I can for the warm spring weather to get here.
Tylie is still in dance and has had many performances the last couple of months with several more coming up. She is also still taking piano lessons (because I won't let her quit) and is doing very well. She has started art classes this month. She has an amazing talent to draw! She really wants to start violin lessons soon -I will have to see if we can fit it into our busy schedule. She is doing very well in school but is ready for the summer break with no homework! I can't believe she is going to be 9 in a couple of months! It makes me sad to start getting into the sassy stages!
Crey is still my soft hearted little boy. He is loves to cuddle his mommy and stops what he is doing several times a day to come and tell me he loves me. School has been so good for him and has brought him out of his shell. He is still shy but not nearly as bad as he was when school started. He loves to shoot guns and his bow. He is always outside digging in the dirt.
Ty is a councilmember for Kanarra and the secretary of the Elder's quorum in our ward. He is working much closer to home this summer which I am SO thankful. Having him gone last summer was really hard!
I am in my third year of serving in the Young Womens in my ward. We have many activities that keep me extremely busy but I still LOVE it! The girls and other leaders are so much fun to be around and we get pretty silly most of the time! I feel really blessed to have each of them a part of my life. I am still taking piano lessons and slowly learning but hanging in there. I look forward to the day that I can sit at the piano and play beautiful music! I tend full time and love the kids that I get to spend my day with. Sometimes I think it would be easier to go to work but I am thankful I can be home for my kids.
Our family stays really busy with all our activities but we are always able to find time to get outside and enjoy nature and get together with extended family. If it were up to me I would spend every weekend with family and friends! I will try to post more often!

We spent a very warm and fun weekend fishing. Saturday we went to Grandpa's Pond in Hurricane with Ty's sister Jessie and her little boy McQuade and Ty's brother Mike and his family. Sunday afternoon we went to Skyline Pond with my brother Bryce and his boys.

My Handsome Prince

Crey is so much fun and always wearing a smile! I had to add the picture of him playing outside with his shirt off. When I noticed it off, after snapping a quick picture, I made him put it back on. Notice the snow in the background -a little too cold for no shirt!

Princess Tylie and Princess Kylee

Tylie and her BFF Kylee. They are so beautiful and everyone thinks they are sisters. It was picture day at school. As always, they wanted their hair done the same. I didn't get it done in time for them to catch the bus so I had to take them to school that morning but they both said they were princesses and walked into school with huge smiles!

A day away from the snow

Snow, Snow & more Snow

A Little Shootin'

As you all know, we love to shoot and hunt at our house! Crey received a bow from Grandpa and Grandma Berry for Christmas this year and has had a blast learning to shoot it. Also Grandpa let us use his Chipmunk .22 to teach the kids to shoot. We have gone out quite a few times and the kids are getting excited to hunt real game. Crey can't wait until he can shoot something "big" and doesn't understand why he can't go shoot a big buck so we have some fresh back strap to eat for dinner.
