Our Kids!

                                {2010}
We thought it would be fun to post our kids and introduce you all to them a little bit more....Seeing as you're our sisters and all..... you should probably get to know your nieces and nephews. :)

#1's kiddos

Joshua:  22 years old. He came into this world as a spitfire, a whirlwind a strong willed soul!   Full of life and love of learning.  A busy body!  He's pretty much been smarter then me since kindergarten.  He has a love for music and plays the piano, tuba and trombone.  He loves the sciences and has been known to banter with the best when it come to politics.  He also has beautiful curly hair (when it grows out a bit).  He is currently a full-time student at USU and is a recent return missionary from the Belgium Netherlands mission, where he learned the Dutch language. {...and is available...uh hem...}

Tanner:  20 years old. I prayed for this child.  His older brother was a handful and I really needed a low-key child to survive motherhood.  So, I prayed and I received Tanner.  He was a blue eyed toe-head full of adorableness! Nothing phases or upsets this boy.  He's as layed back as they come.  As a one year old baby he would put himself to bed.  Who does that?  He is a little on the quiet side, but has a sense of humor that triggers the giggles with his one-liner classics.  Tanner is currently serving a full-time LDS mission in Honolulu Hawaii.  He is due to be home in January 2015.  We look forward to a sweet reunion.

Landon:  18 years old. I honestly don't know what I did to deserve a Landon.  He's a parents dream child.  I've often been made offers of trade or bargaining for him, but I've always declined. :)   He's self motivated, makes friends easily, thinks of others, cleans up after himself, a 'fix it' guy and loves the Lord.  When Landon has his mind set on something there is no turning him back until he has achieved his goal.   He recently built a boat from watching YouTube videos.  Landon leaves in 2 weeks to serve the Lord for the LDS Church as a full-time missionary.  He is serving in the Missouri Independence Mission.  He'll bless the lives of those he serves.

#3's offspring

Treavor age 20. The biggest teddy bear you'll ever meet. He is ginormous and his heart is even bigger. He's super tech-geeky-nerdy smart and lives for video games, NFL football and movies. Don't challenge him to a wits of Star Wars knowledge. {#nerdssavetheworld} He served a mission to Florida and is now working full time. He is always happy & positive...ready to help... and he will hug you until it hurts...but no really it hurts tho. 
(as you can see from both photos..i want to be with them all the time!!)

Tai is pure sunshine and thunder and the same time. She knows who she is...she knows what she wants...she knows the sky's the limit...and she won't let anyone stop her.

He loves riding motorbikes and playing basketball. He's always willing to help others and is a hard worker. He's very laid back. His happy and mad faces are all the same. (he is happy in this picture..haha)

Tyson is 15. Going into High School!! He's pretty excited to get his license next year. You'll pretty much find him outside either riding his longboard or playing with the neighborhood kids (they love him). He loves to ride motorbikes, anything with wheels actually, and play all sports. He's compassionate for others. He once gave all the change he could find in our house to his friend in school when he was about 9 who's dad got into an bad accident.

 Meghan is 13. She loves singing, clothes, hanging with friends and she LOVES to babysit. She can't wait to be a Mom (in good time of course...geez), Marry a cowboy and live on a ranch with horses. She's always wanting to cook something.

Always has a smile on her face. Always willing to help. She was born on Friday the 13th, but nothing bad has come of it. She's our little light.

#5's ankle biters

Abbie: 17 1/2 Abbie is a beautiful free spirit. She is very brave with her independence. Her creativity with a pencil and paper is amazing----she has a DEEP gift with drawing emotion. She is very quiet, We like to call her our "Britney S Pearce " from Glee.  For obvious reasons......LOL

Autumn: 16, her smile lights up a room. She can be very hyper, weird, funny and loud. She has a passion for singing. She is NOT a morning person {yikes} , but has a talent to do "Pinterest hair" as we call it. And what else....um let's just say if you were at war, you would want Autumn on your side.



Jackson and Charlee!
Inseparable ----- :)
Jackson is her protector.
He will even fight off "bugth" by clicking two sticks together for HER. Just to make her happy. He reads her stories at night and usually ends up sleeping by her side. She annoys him but he feels the need that this is his DUTY!
Jax loves legos, minecraft, xbox and creating things. And putting together presentations and stats about things! Non rule breaker. He hates school and wearing clothes.
Charlee---rules the house. She is SPUNKY and complely full of life. Sweet and evil. Very smart and darling. Loves to play littlest pet shops and ride her bike. She's our little healer and our blonde hair blue eye caboose.



WELL THERE YA HAVE IT!! That's the whole litter!
These kids have grown up together... they love and support each other.. and they know that #familyiseverything!!
