What happened to your lawn?

I'm sure your wondering what happened to our lawn? let's go back to a few months ago with my dad (Steve) asking Greg "when are you going to fertalize your lawn?" Well after a few weeks of Greg not fertalizing the lawn ,being the nice guy that my dad is he brought over his drop spreader and fertalizer. One night after Jake's football practice Greg decided to hurry as fast as he could before it got dark and fertalize the lawn. I was so relieved that he had finally got it done just in time for fall. About two weeks later we started to notice something was wrong. Greg started commenting on how something must have been wrong with the fertalizer or the drop spreader, I had to remind him that it was amazing everything worked just fine when my dad fertalized his lawn with the same fertalizer and drop spreader. And then it started people asking "what happened to your lawn?" Greg was a good sport about it, telling them that he did it for football season. I on the the other hand was praying for snow everyday! Lets hope when spring comes its back to normal. Does anyone know a good fertalizing company?

Happy Thanksgiving

Greg,Bryan,Jana,Todd and Grandpa Hank

Chaz,Conner,Ladd,Brody and Chelsie


McElle,Quincy,Presley,Halle,Jake and Jensen. Yes, I made the kids eat in the unfinished basement. It was nice not having to worry about spills!

McElle and Quincy shaking it!

Halle entertained everyone by dancing to Thriller, she only has one move and it never ends!

later that night we met at grandma emery's for pie.

Ok,I don't love to blog

I have been informed by a few people that my blog has not been updated for a while. I don't know where all of you people have the time to do these great blogs-music,slide shows, you tube videos, the list goes on and on......... Anyways when I am not running Presley to tumbling, dance, activity days, student council, friends houses, Kaysville Theater, or taking Jake to one of his two Comp Basketball leagues, Comp Baseball, friends houses,scouts, or where ever anyone else needs to go, the last thing I want to do is Blog! Even when Halle is at preschool, there are so many other things I want to do other than Blog(shopping,lunch with friends, One Life To Live,napping, reading, etc...). I know it is hard to believe that I feel this way being that I am Holly's sister, and we all Know she loves to blog. I can honestly say it is not my favorite thing to do. I hate pictures of myself, Presley and Jake hate when I take pictures of them and they are always making goofy faces or doing bunny ears behind each other. Halle on the other hand loves her picture taken, but if I only use the pictures of her I think everyone would get bored. Anyways I am working on my blogging attitude, I will be getting music, slide shows and some you tube videos for you all to enjoy, so stay tuned..............

Happy Halloween

It's a bird, It's a plane, oh wait it's just Hal. Yes Hal showed up for Trick or Treating dressed as Incredaboy from the movie The Incredables. I think it might be the funniest thing I have ever seen! Hal was a hit with all of Presley and Jake's friends. Hal went Trick or Treating around the neighborhood, and let's just say he was lucky not to be arressted. Greg was worried that when people saw Hal with Halle they might think it was him-I think secretly Greg was a little jealous of the costume, who knows mabe next year Greg will try and top it. We had a fun Halloween with all of the kids friends, we made chilli and caramel apples, played games and laughed alot at Hal.

Presley and Jake

Halle had fun Trick-or-Treating with Grandpa

Friends, Friends, Friends.........

Hunting Season

We got one! After a few years with no luck they finally got one. It's not the biggest one, but it's better than nothing right? I think Halle was the most excited she think's she's going hunting next year. When she first saw it I was concerned about what she would think, she wanted to hold the horns and kept asking if we could keep it.

I got tagged!

JOBS I'VE HAD:
The Tanning Isle-I think I must have used my associate discount a little too much because Jake saw a picture of me in high school and said "you were orange".
