Kylee Volleyball in Genesee, Idaho

We went to our 3rd Volleyball Tournament this weekend in Genesee, Idaho. Ruben and I went down Friday night and stayed with his sister AnaMaria. Kylee went with Todd, Dena, Ariana, Sandra and Carly and stayed the night in Clarkston with the team. Guess she thought Ruben and I were boring....... Saturday they played 3 games in there pole and won 1. This was there first win and they were very excited.

Here is my "star" biting her lip. Ruben took so many pictures and she is doing this in all of them.. I think its super cute that she can bite her lip and still play ball. Very talented Kylee.....

There first win and it was time to celebrate.....

Here she is getting ready to serve. Kylee did great in her serving this tournament making almost all of them over..... Good Job Kylee!!

Kylee plays as a center blocker and hitter. She is getting braver when she jumps up to block the ball. Kylee has improved so much in just a little time...... I love going to watch and cheer her on.....

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........

Finally a Post on Kylee's room.....

The pictures hardly do any of my hard work justice. Kylee has been wanting her room painted ever since I painted the boys so over christmas break I decided I would get to work and surprise her when she got back from Matts. And that exactly what I did...... Here it is.....

We are currently looking for a headboard and think she will be finished for awhile...... She was very surprised and loved the colors.... (and yes I painted the circles)

Random Pictures....

I am very bad at posting but am trying to get better. Here is a few pictures from the last month..... Ashton is so excited to see Santa today! Here he is getting ready.

My little Pasiley ( i love this girl)........ This is an old pictures cause she has her bottle but she is so cute sitting in the baby basket.

Josh and Ashton in my bathtub......... When Im away this is what happens..... Crazy BOYS!!!

Ruben and his teachers quorum raked leaves and this is where he decided to empty the bags.... The kids actually had so much fun.

Quick post on Halloween...

Here are my three wonderful children...... Kylee was a superhero, Ashton decided he wanted to wear his superman pjs (that by the way are way to small but I wasn't in the mood to fight him) and Josh wasn't to sure he wanted to dress up this year so he was himself...... We went to the ward party and they kids have so much fun... Thanks 1st Ward..

Kylee and her friend Whitney dressed up as superheroes for school on friday. We all stayed up late the night before making there capes and sweaters.

They had alot of fun designing them.

Here is our pirate Ashton. He has about 5 costumes to choose from and this is what he happen to pick 5 mins before we are walking out the door for his preschool party...

So I told him to give me a smile so we could have a picture.
