Our family how special they are to us. We have
had a lot of fun watching our children grow up
over the years. To watch their accomplishments, their
disappointments, their happiness and their tears. We have
had many happy memories and we have had
many trails in the last 25 years. But through
it all we have grown closer has a couple.

I am so thankful for Lonnie in my life and all that
he has done for me. I appreciate all the wonderful things
you have given us. Life with you has been
a joy, lots of fun, hard times, growing times,
making memories together. I am so very happy
to have him as my Eternal companion.
Happy Anniversary Lonnie!!
I love you!

FATHER'S DAY

Konner was asked to give a talk

in Sacrament Meeting on Fathers Day.

He told me that he would prepare it all

by himself. So as the week continue I

asked him what he was going to talk on.

He said mom I am working on it. So

the Friday before he brought his talk

to me. I was totally impressed that

he had did it all by himself. I posted

his talk below.

Lonnie and Konner on Father's Day.

I was asked to talk on father’s today.

My dad works as a Test Engineer at his job. He builds and tests air bags to make sure they work properly and are safe for the vehicles.

In our home my dad is the Spiritual Engineer. He teaches me by his example how I should live the gospel. He has shown me how I can engineer a testimony of Jesus Christ, by studying my scriptures, praying, paying my tithing, keeping a journal, attending my church meetings and preparing myself now to go to the temple some day and serving my mission. I know that as I follow these teachings my testimony will grow each day.

I am thankful for my dad he takes the time to teach me new things everyday and I love spending time with him.

Wow! I thought Konner did a wonderful job. I am so

thankful for Lonnie for all that he does for our

family and myself. He is a caring, loving and just fun

to our children and me. Thank you Lonnie for all

you do for us. We love you!

THE BIG BOY AND HIS NEW TOY!!

I have to say that Lonnie has a addiction to the sand..
Yes, needless to say about 5 years ago I made
the mistake of letting him go with the guys
to Glamis Sand Dunes to play on quads...
Well short story, we started out with quads,
then we graduated to a Sand Car, but now
we have graduated to the next level
of another Sand Car....

Lonnie at the Sand Dunes his favorite vacation spot...

Here is the new Sand Car... We brought it from
our friend Al. It has been a great car for him
and I know that it will be a great car for us..

Cruzin at the dunes.... We have so much fun

when we go. We are looking forward to October
when we will be able to take the new car out and
play in cooler weather.....

Look a Rock Band

Today we made these cute Rock Band People
They were a lot of fun. I couldn't find a guitar button.
So to make the guitar I took a fish bead and put a toothpick
on the end of it. Then we used wooden beads for
the drums. We used googly eyes, pompoms,
colored threaded and pipe cleaners for
The ROCKERS hairdo's!

This is Konner's! He was so cute he went to the
craft store with me to find guitars and
he really got excited helping look for
something to make them out of.

Konner and Dylan..

Konner is so proud of his ROCK BAND!!!

Come and see the Magic Show!

It is that time of year again when it is so HOT
that we find ourselves in the house all day.
During the summer with my daycare children
we do a Theme Activity Week.
This week was Magic Week.
We made magic wands, top hats and magic plaster.
But the big excitement was the Magic Show
that Karli and Konner planned.

Here is the kids making their tops hats, we used markers,
crayons, and fun foam stickers. They were all
so proud of their hats they wore them all day.

Karli and Konner getting ready to do the Magic Show!
The great thing about it they are able to
work on some of their church goals and pass them off.

Karli is so good with the kids, she had them learning
magic words in spanish. Konner is looking
over the list of tricks!!!!

Karli making a penny appear. Konner is assisting her!

Konner and Karli getting the kids ready to get
involved in the next trick.. Once again
they are saying words in Spanish!
Which the kids loved.

Travis pulling out the pantyhoses from Karli's
arm. He just kept saying where is it
coming from!

Savannah is so excited that she
has a quarter in her ear.
Karli and Konner and working
together as a team!!

Wow!! Look there is the quarter out of
Savannah's ear....

Is everybody ready to see Konner disappear?????

Karli put the blanket over Konner.
Once again she had the kids counting in
Spanish!! While Konner disappeared.

OH NO!! Look it is Konner's hat!
Where did he go????

Total amazement with lots of ooooooh's and aaahhh's!

WOW!! Look Konner has reappeared and he
told the kids he went to China.

Karli getting the kids excited for the next trick!!
Let's see what comes out of the HAT!

A CHICKEN!!! Isn't suppose to
be a Rabbit..

It is just the little things that make
life so much fun. I know this is
why I enjoy little children is
seeing all the excitement and joy they get
from it. Karli and Konner really
have fun helping out with the
kids. It has been a lot fun
being able to stay home and
still provide an income for my
family but also bonding with my children.

A boy and his blankie and panda bear

So last week I went into Kristopher's room to get
him up at 11:30 am (the life of a teenager)
This is what I saw....

Kristopher got the little panda bear from the
hospital when he was born 19 years ago.

His Grandma Larson crocheted the blanket,
which he has totally worn out it is now in
two pieces and comes apart every time
it hits the washer.

Nothing like a little cuddling and blankie time..
Even as a grown kid it is so cute to see him sleeping.

This will be a great picture to share with his
wife someday when he gets married...

Oh by the way the hairy legs he inherited from
his dad!!!!

Karli's 9th grade formal....

Karli had her 9th grade formal at Shepherd Jr High
which in Mesa the kids go to Junior High from
7th grade to 9th grade(Freshman)
So at the end of the year they give
the 9th graders a Formal dance.

Karli decided to go to the dance. But she is
not a girly girl.... So Kassi finally convinced her
that she needed a dress to wear and took
her dress shop what a experience.
Needless to say nothing can be
pink in her wardrobe.

Karli trying on dresses needless to say
it was a real fun shopping day!
She is always sporting a hat of some type!

Getting ready for the dance!
Kassi was suppose to do her
hair but ended up in the hospital so
Mom was left to help her....

Karli being serious while I am helping her
get ready.

What no formal shoes!!
Karli lives for her converse.

Such a nice feature with the dress!

Looking for her Student ID

What mom you got me a flower

What I am suppose to do with it!!!

Thumbs ups! Ready to go!!!

Her friends, Emma and Sarah surprised
her from Holbrook and showed up so
it was a real hard decision to leave them
for a few hours to go to the dance.
But after the dance I took her to meet up
with them at Walmart and off she went in
her dress. I have to post about her
because she is really trying hard not
to be that Tom-boy and become a
young lady. She is such a beautiful
daughter inside and out.
