Lots of things happening in our Family.....

I just love this little girl..... She gets to come to my house 3 times a week and its been lots of fun having her. Kylee and Josh ask everyday before school if Pasiley will be here after school. She is very loved in our house and always makes us smile..... She loves to get her hair done so she gets a hair cut about once a week.... Even if its alittle she sits there and enjoys every min of it..... Thanks Korbi for sharing this little girl with us......

Kylee and Whitney playing in the Winter Band Concert. Kylee has been playing the flute since 4th grade. She is so lucky to get to play with my moms flute that she used in school... Kylee wasn't very excited at first because the carrying case was bigger then most but think she has gotten used to it. I keep telling her the vintage look is in.......

The weather has been fairly nice here so Ashton has been asking about flying kites so the other day we went to Wal-Mart, picked up 2 kites and the boys have loved flying them.

Ashton telling Josh how to do it.... They are so cute.

Even Buddy is getting into it.

Sunday we had a little going away party for Rolo. Monday he left to do his 3 month boot camp for the Army. He got engaged to Raquel last week before he left and is planning on getting married sometime this summer.

Josh and Ashton wrestling. Notice that Ashton is on top.....

Here there are again but Josh is on top. Ashton doesn't like this picture because he is on the bottom...

Kylee and Miranda right before there Valentine dance. They were pretty excited.

Austin really didn't think that 12 and 13 year-olds should be going to the dance but the girls had a different view...

Sunday Birthdays

This Sunday we had our family birthday party in Moses Lake. We have one big party once a month for anyone having a birthday that month. The kids really love these parties and its always fun getting everyone together. This month we celebrated Beck, Carsten and Debbie and Beck was by far the most excited. He wanted so badly to open his presents. My dad flew home and surprised all the kids. He had a doctors appt. on Monday morning so he flew into Spokane on Sunday afternoon. He picked up my wonderful children from Matts house and brought them to Moses Lake.

After the party we went to the gym and let the kids play for about an hour. Got them all nice and tired then headed for home about 7:00. My dad stayed at our house so the kids talked him into a fast trip over to Scotts to the Hot Tub. This was Joshie and my dad's most favorite thing to do when they are together. It was so good to see him and get to spend a half a day with him. We love him and the great example he is to us. Josh is still using the cologne my dad left him and thinks its the best smelling stuff ever. Thanks for that Dad... He got up before any of us on Monday and off to Spokane he went.

Best part of the party was the pinata. All the kids got a turn hitting with the bat and they all got tons of candy.

Thanks for the fun day Korbi. Your guys did a great job hosting the party.

Kylee Volleyball Tournament

Kylee had her 2nd Volleyball Tournament this weekend in Spokane. They usually have to be a the gym at 8:00 for them to start at 9:00. We decided to make a weekend of it so we went down Friday and spent the night at a fun hotel so we didn't have to get up so early on Saturday. Kylee and Josh went to Matts for the weekend so it was just Ashton, Ruben and I Friday night. We meet Kylee at the gym Saturday morning and spent the entire day cheering her on( Josh came with Matt so we pretty much got to spend all day with him too... it was really awesome). They played 3 games (2 matches each game) and then went on to the tournament with sadly only one game. They lost both games with a very close score of 23-25. They are all improving so much its fun watching them play. Kylee is such a sweet heart and we love watching her grow. Please just don't grow to fast........
