Life Is Buzzin With Half A Dozen!

Pleated Tote

2012-01-31T12:10:00.000-08:00

I have been wanting to try making bags for a while, and I finally found one that I thought was so cute! I even made it with some fat quarters that I already had. This is a great bag for beginners, very nice instructions, and quick! Here is where I got the pattern. This designer has a couple of patterns in PDF for free! Even better!

Baby Girl Quilt

2012-01-30T18:46:00.000-08:00

I just finished this cute quilt that I made for a friend who is having their first baby girl. I LOVE the way it turned out! And I found this awesome way to do this patten from this blog. I may have to do another one with the fabric I have left over! Do you think Marcus would mind a pink and orange blanket? :-0

Birthdays birthdays!

2012-01-27T07:29:00.000-08:00

So as you can all see, December and January are filled with birthdays! AnnaBelle turned 6 at the beginning of the month. First we were going to take her and one or two friends to get Mani/Pedis and their hair done, but then she realized she couldn't bring any of her boy friends with her to that! So a craft rainbow party is what we came up with! I went a little crazy with the theme, and it was really fun!

Anna is wearing the birthday hat in our family. Daniel found it last year in Montana, on his birthday no less. The kids love the fact that it is their turn to wear the birthday hat!

Eight is Great!

2012-01-26T13:55:00.000-08:00

David is our second kid to turn 8 and get baptised! We are so proud of him. Those of you who know us well, you are aware that David holds a special place in our hearts. His adorable little speech impediment, his shyness, and the way he still likes to cuddle, but at the same time is the toughest little dude there is. The morning of his day, Sebastian came to my bedside, and said mom I don't feel good. I could tell he had a fever and his throat was very swollen. Thanks goodness our doctors office is open on Saturdays. Sure enough he had strep. We keep him locked up in our room all day away from everyone else, and he had to miss out on the baptism. Major bummer, but that's life! Here are the pictures from the night!

Its been a year!!

2012-01-24T11:06:00.000-08:00

Hello Blog World! I have decided to join you all once more! It has been quite the crazy year. I cannot believe that this little guy has turned one already!

Marcus is one of the four best things that have ever happened to this family! We are ALL madly and deeply in LOVE with this little man. He has so much personality and Daniel and I can't get enough of him!

He is starting to understand so much, when I say no to him, he nods his head no, and continues to do what I am telling him no about. It's so cute I have a hard time keeping a straight face. During Christmas break he started taking steps and hasn't looked back since! His favorite game to play with David is chase.
Okay anyone know how to rotate the picture??? Now I remember why I had no patience for blogging, it is taking forever to upload pictures! Anyone else have this issue?

Happy Birthday to my little man! We love you so much!

MARCUS DANIEL MYERS

2011-04-12T16:40:00.001-07:00

I have been a complete blog slacker, I apologize! Lots has happened since my last post, most importantly this little guy joined our family on January 18th! He came at 7 lbs 1 oz, and beautiful as ever! We all fell in love with him right away and have a hard time imagining what life would be like without him here already! He has a very helpful big sister, who loves on him all the time. His brothers love on him too, I think they will have more interest in him when he can play with them! I am loving every minute of this little baby! He makes my life that much better, not to mention that he is very mellow and easy to enjoy! I can't believe that our little family is now 6 total! Seems crazy to me, but I love my family very much! More pictures of what we have been up to coming soon, if anyone even reads my blog anymore!

2010-10-17T17:39:00.001-07:00

Okay, so this is a first time for me. I NEVER like getting pictures taken when I am pregnant...... I don't know why with this one, maybe the thought that it might be my last, or that I just need to get over being fat and enjoy it! So we usually get our family pictures taken in the fall, and so I thought I would get over my issues and have my good friend take them for us. She did a great job! I don't love looking at my swollen face, but I am happy we decided to do it. They turned out fabulous! I don't have copies yet, but go to her blog if you want to view! Tasha is in the Denver area and she is great, if anyone else is looking for someone!

Moving right along

2010-10-04T20:33:00.000-07:00

Here I am, about 6 1/2 months along. I already posted this on facebook, and I am not really sure people check my blog all that much anymore! But here ya go! I am feeling pretty good. Going a little crazy ( my husband can attest to that) trying to get the house in order before baby. I have repainted about 1/2 of our house in the last month. The last wall I did ( the one in the picture) ended in me falling off the top of the ladder! Thankfully I am okay, just bumps and bruises, and a very broken ladder. The kids are getting way excited for our new baby boy to come, and have many suggestions for names. We have had Chad Dillon Cooper, Flower, and many more suggestions I can't think of at the moment. No names have hit the mark with Daniel and I yet though, so more suggestions are welcome! I am looking forward to a fast holiday season, so we can meet this new little one!

Kentucky

2010-09-02T15:59:00.001-07:00

There have been a lot of other things going on since this trip that I have yet to post, but I have these pictures handy so here you go! AnnaBelle and I just got back from visiting my grandparents in Stanton Kentucky! My sister and her husband and little girl came with us as well, and we all had a great time! Here are some of our pictures from the trip!

Susan and I on top of the Natural Bridge. It is a very beautiful place to visit.

Anna and I

AnnaBelle riding the chair lift up to the bridge, very exciting!

These two girls are only a day apart in age, and we have such a fun time with them!

Taking pictures before church with my grandparents.

Anna with her Great Grandma Gregory

This is a picture of the girls with the Great Great Aunt and Uncle!

This is a picture of the girls right before we got on the plane, they were so excited!

My 100th post!

2010-07-10T08:07:00.001-07:00

I just figured out that this will be my 100th post! If I was like all the other on top of it bloggers maybe I would have some sort of prize or drawing, but we all know I am not! So consider your prize as being special enough to read my blog!:)

Here are some summer pictures of the kiddos and what they have been up to! These first ones are of Anna and her cute little friend Avery. The looked so cute in their little suits sliding on the slip and slide. Avery knew how to plop right down on her belly and slide the whole way, Anna still has some learning to do!

For the 4th, or 3rd I guess we went to Greeley. Daniel ran a race in the morning, and came in 2nd in his age group and 10th overall. He even got a nice little metal! Then we all went and watched the Greeley Parade, which the kids somewhat enjoyed. This first picture is of some steer or oxen(not sure the correct term) just walking down the street in the parade. As soon as Anna saw these she hopped right up and sat on my lap. She may be the smart one of the bunch. The boys thought it was pretty cool though.

The cute kiddos, AnnaBelle, Sebastian, David, and Aiden

David is doing T-Ball this summer, and we think he likes it okay. He told me the other night that he likes practices more than the games because they are funner. Oh well, we tried right?

David and his buddy Zach

Thanks all for reading! Please feel free to leave a comment on my 100th post, maybe I can make it my most commented post!

New member of the family!

2010-06-27T09:07:00.001-07:00

I have a few new posts, so keep reading on down after this post! So we went to Montana and came home with a new member of the family! Her name is Ella, and she is so sweet! Those of you who know Daniel, you are thinking did I hit him over the head and knock him out on the way home? Not quite, but Daniel was outnumbered on this one! I have been wanting a dog for 10 years! A family from our old ward in Helena needed to find her a new home and asked if we would like to have her, and I said heck yea! She is the best family dog ever! The kids are in love with her and so am I. I think Daniel is secretly getting attatched to her as well, but we won't tell him that! Thank you Fife family! We promise to give her all the love in the world!

Montana, here we come!

2010-06-27T08:48:00.000-07:00

Off we go to Montana! We came home from Las Vegas, I had time to unpack, do laundry, clean house, and then had to pack right up again and hop in the car. This time we had Daniel with us though so that was nice to go as a whole family! Daniel really wanted to go do the Governors Cup race in Helena, so we all signed up for a race!

Since Daniel was there, his old co-workers from Blue Cross (that is one of the major sponsors of the race) volunteered him to do the warm up exercises with them. We all know how fun he can be at this, it was pretty fun to watch!

Here is AnnaBelle trying to do the warm ups as well!

I signed up to do the 5K, and I did alright. I am new at this whole running thing, and DON'T have a runners body or stamina! So I was proud of myself for finishing, I won't give out my time, but just know that I wasn't LAST!

The kids getting ready to do the Mile Fun Run.

I was just at the finish line, so I just saw David running so hard at the end, just to find out later from Daniel that he carried him most of the way! Little Stinker!

We stayed with our friends the Holmans, and had a great time! They were so good to us, and especially the kids! AnnaBelle just loved having all the attention from Riley and Sammy!

David got to try out the little four wheeler while we were there and he loved it!

We had a great trip! The weather was beautiful for the last couple of days we were there! It was good to see all of our friends that we made while we lived there and we sure miss everyone! Maybe someday we will be back in Montana to stay!

Las Vegas, Again......!

2010-06-27T08:26:00.000-07:00

The day school got out, I loaded up the kids and I and we headed off to Vegas to see my sister and her family! We had a great time, and got to stay in my brothers house. This first picture pretty much explains our trip!

The girls had such a long day of swimming and play, they were exhausted! They had so much fun together as always!

While we were there, Sebs had his birthday. So we decided to throw him a pool party! Susan's in-laws all came with their families and a couple of friends, and we had a full out bash! Sebs was one happy 9 year old!

I don't think Jason has ever had so many people swimming in his pool! We got a lot of use out of it that is for sure!!

Here is the cake. Bryce, Susan, and I stayed up very late the night before coming up with this masterpiece! We had a few set backs while making it, but all in all I think it turned out pretty dang good. I would never show this to the Cake Boss, but for three amateurs, I think it is okay! Sebs loved it, and that is what counts the most!

We had a great time visiting Susan as always, and plan to go back the end of July to see Jason and family!

Davids Kindergarten Graduation

2010-06-27T08:08:00.000-07:00

David had his little graduation ceremony, and it was very cute, and LONG...... But we love our little guy so it was worth it. Daniel and I just laugh at what a big deal they make out of the whole thing, but that is okay. He was so happy and proud of himself, it was very cute to watch! This little guy has come a long way. We called him our caveman because he couldn't really speak til he was around 4. With lots of work and help from many people, we were able to work on his speech, and now he has the most clear sounds ever! He is our special little guy, anyone who knows us knows that we tend to love on him the most, we just can't help it! He stole our hearts from the beginning! We love our David munch!

Winter Park Weekend

2010-04-22T09:24:00.000-07:00

A couple of weekends ago, we took a trip up to Winter Park. Daniels boss has a cabin up there and was so nice to let us stay in it! We wanted to do something fun while we were there, and thought we would go skiing. But then Daniel was looking through all the things there are to do there, and he came upon dog sledding..... So off we went! It was the dog sled's company's last ride of the season they said. It was such a fun experience and the kids loved it! The one thing that they would tell you about it though was it was STINKY! The dogs pooped A TON while we were going. But all in all and great time was had for all! Here are the pictures!

I had to add this picture in here. Sebastian had Fashion Disaster Day at school, and this is the outfit he came up with on his own!

And the winner is.......

2010-03-16T14:34:00.000-07:00

Thank you all so much for your input! Funny story, I had in my mind that I was going to use the one where he is not smiling, so I ordered the pictures and was excited to hang them up. SO when I got them, and took them out, I realized that I had printed the smiling one! I guess that is the one I was suppose to go with! So here you go, all hung up on my wall and I love it! I got an old window from a friend and cleaned it up and used it as a picture frame.....

On another note, I was outside taking pictures of my washer and dryer to post on craigs list, and David and his friend Zach wanted me to take a picture of them. The posed so cute I had to post it!

Opinions PLEASE!

2010-03-10T14:15:00.000-08:00

Okay, I am trying to hang new pictures up in my house, and can't decide between two of David. So leave your thoughts on which one you like better( and I know that is hard because he is so flippin cute!) !!

Picture #1

Picture #2

PLEASE leave a comment and let me know!

It's fixed, It's fixed!

2010-03-04T05:42:00.000-08:00

I have my computer back! Yea for me! If I was really on top of things like most of you, I would have taken pictures of me taking in the computer, and getting it back. But alas! I am not! So I have posted pictures of things that we have been up to the past couple of months! We are now back in Colorado, it was a bittersweet move. We love our Helena friends and miss them dearly, but at the same time are happy to be back in our house, and around our Colorado family and friends.

Here are a couple pictures from Davids 6th birthday party. He wanted it all batman, so that is what he got. I think we had a total of 16 kids in our house for his party for two hours! It was crazy, but he loved it! I still can't believe my little David is getting so old!

For Christmas we decided to spend it in Vegas with my sister and her family! We had such a great time being together and did so many fun things! I really wish I lived closer to my sister!

The kids all made ginger bread houses, it was a long two day process getting it all set up, but it was so worth it! The kids had a great time!
Susan had some of those foam curlers, so we decided to put them in the girls hair! They looked so stinkin cute with them in. They slept all night with them too. Abbys hair was cute and curly in the morning, but AnnaBelle was a stinker and didn't like the curls, and went into the bathroom and wet them down! Don't know where she gets her strong opinions from!
They now have this area with the sign all sectioned off and you can pull your car into a parking lot and have your picture taken! They also have a guy there that will take your picture for you so you can all be in the picture! Thanks random Vegas guy!

My two favorite people!

At the Belagio, on of my must sees when we go visit!

For those of you who didn't get to see our daytime TV debut, we went down to the Tropicana and were on the game show Let's Make A Deal, with Wyane Brady! It was an all day very long process, but SO worth it! My sister and her husband Bryce were the first two contestants on the show, and they ended up winning a new living room set and flat screen TV! To those of you who want to see our few minutes of stardom, you can visit CBS site and go to Lets Make a Deal, and choose the airdate of Feb 16th! If I was really on top of things I would just have a link, but I don't, so get over it!

Last, but for sure NOT the least, AnnaBelles birthday. She wanted a princess cake, and I had only one day to figure that one out, so here it is, and she told me that I made the most beautiful cake ever! I love her! She is a big four year old now, no more babies in our house!

Soon, very soon

2010-02-16T20:56:00.003-08:00

Okay, we have decided to get our computer fixed, so i wll be able to post more pictures soon! Hope all is good where ever you may be!

Drumroll Please....

2010-02-06T12:59:00.000-08:00

Okay took the computer in..... Drumroll please.........

$445 just to get a new display!!!!

Anyone want to donate to the "Kassiah needs her mac book fixed" fund?

Breakdown!

2010-01-22T06:41:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I had a stupid moment as a parent. AnnaBelle wanted to play on my Mac laptop, and I was too lazy to carry it over to the counter for her. So I handed it to her and said, now be carefull and carry it to the kitchen counter. Of course she said OKAY MOMMY! She started walking and about halfway there I thought, what the heck am I doing letting a four year old carry my computer?! So I got up and hurried over to her just in time for her to try and lift it up to the counter........ just as she does this it falls hard and fast to the floor, hits on the side, and the screen goes all weird. Just as my brother said, it was like one of those moments where you are in slow motion watching it happen, yelling NOOOOOOOOOOOooooo. SO, I am now on Daniels computer, with none of my pictures that I would like to post. I have to get a new screen for my computer, which has to wait until we move back to Denver. Which is next week for those of you who didn't know, but I think most everyone does!
Lesson of the year: NEVER let your 4 year old carry your computer, no matter how lazy or tired you are, get off your butt and do it for her!!!!!

What stinks about all of this is I can't even blame her for it, it was all my stupid fault! So point is that I won't be posting any pics for a few weeks at least! Wish me luck in fixing it!

Happy Birthday to AnnaBelle!

2010-01-03T07:48:00.001-08:00

My sweet little girl is turning four today! Time has just flown by with this one! I offically no longer have any babies in my house! AnnaBelle is so fun, and is truly the princess in this house! She has a spunky personality, and knows what she wants! Loves playing house and dolls and dress-up, and loves to push around her two older brothers! We love you Anna and are so happy that you came into our family!

I can ride my bike with no handle bars!

2009-11-17T17:24:00.000-08:00

Hollie recently came to visit, and Gavin brought his bike. Anna and Gavin had a great time riding up and down the sidewalk! It is so awesome to watch Gavin ride his little two wheeler, it is crazy because he is so small still! Anyways, they loved it! Hollie took these great picture of the two of them. Enjoy!

This picture underneath is funny. Hollie said she told Anna to ride right towards her, and Anna was freaking out because she thought she was going to hit her!

Happy Halloween!

2009-10-31T07:23:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures from yesterdays halloween activities! I took AnnaBelle downtown to do trick or treating, all of the businesses hand out candy, it was fun. This is her little friend from school, Clara.

David and his little buddy from school kevin, they made pretty cute Ninjas!
Sebs, doing the little parade that they have for the parents through the school.
Carving pumpkins, this year, the boys did almost everything, cleaned and cut the faces all by themselves! It was a beautiful thing! Daniel and I think next year we can actually do our own too!
Anna, the only pirate among the princesses at her school, pretty dang cute and funny I think!

Cutest pirate ever!!

Fall is here!!

2009-10-21T11:52:00.000-07:00

Okay, we were a little late on getting Anna a big girl bike, but we finally did it! She would take Davids bike and ride it, and David didn't like that very much, so here we go! She is a natural and loves to go up and down the sidewalk!

We recently went to Denver to visit and I only took the camera out for these pictures! I am kicking myself for not taking any more pictures of the trip, but these ones turned out very cute so that is okay! Here are our kids with Tashas kids. I think this trampoline picture is the second or third time we have done it, and they are just getting bigger and bigger, and still love to play with eachother! They miss their buddies!

We went to the Fall Festival this last weekend, it was a little cold but the kids enjoyed it! Here are a few pics from that.

Gavin and Hollie were up visiting with us, and Gavin was not wanting his photo taken, so he just closes his eyes when we say smile! It is funny! This is Anna's future husband by the way, weather they know it or not!:)

I hope everyone is having a wonderful fall! We miss and love you all!

First Day of Schools!

2009-09-24T20:49:00.000-07:00

Anna was one of the only kids who had no problem letting me leave her at school! I don't know if that is a good thing or bad?

Sebs so excited to go to his first day of school! Big Third Grader!

David ready for his first day of Kindergarten!

Last Camping Trip, I swear!

2009-09-24T20:21:00.000-07:00

Hello Blogging world!!! Sorry for my absence, if any of you care!:) I will catch you up on our to dos! This was the last camping trip of the year that we did. We went and met up with Daniels co worker and her family. The kids had a great time. We camped right by a little secluded lake, and fished and hiked. Sebs was determined to catch a fish, and was very patient (as much as an 8 year old can be) and caught one little guy!

Cute little Anna! I love her!!!

David and Carson, the whole time they were calling eachother best buds, and they were!

Sebs and Kinsey! They like eachother a little too much I think.....

My man coming back from cuttin up wood with a chain saw! Whoop whoop!

AnnaBelle and Kinsey, Anna loves her!

Me and my boy.

David sat there ALL day and kept casting into the water, and pulling it back out, ALL DAY, and he never caught a fish.....

Sebs prize fish!

Moses Cabin

2009-08-17T19:10:00.000-07:00

Another weekend, another trip up to somewhere awesome! This time, Island Park Idaho! We first were going to do some camping in tents, but then our lovely friends the Smarts, found a little cabin on the lake for us to stay in! When we got up there, we found that our little cabin was more like a big ol house on the lake! It had tons of beds, tvs, kitchen, hot tub, was right on the lake with a beach and a dock, had a canoe and a kayak, and a fire pit! What more could you ask for?! It was a great weekend. My brother and his kids were able to come with us, as well as Hollie, Travis and Gavin. We had so much fun and are wanting to go back next year! Here are some pictures of our weekend!

Happy Birthday and Anniversary Daniel!!

2009-08-06T20:22:00.000-07:00

To my husband of 9 years! We just had our 9 year anniversary and today is his 32nd birthday! Daniel is one of a kind and I am so lucky to have him in my life. He is a wonderful father, loves his kids so much and has so much fun playing with them. I am so lucky to have such an understanding husband who loves me through thick and thin. I hope to have endless years with him by my side making me laugh and smile! Thank you for being in my life!

Too much!

2009-08-02T20:42:00.000-07:00

Hello All! I have too many pictures to put on here all at once so I will do a little bit at a time! We have had a fun summer so far. We have gone camping, hiking, boating, swimming, roadtriping! It has all been great! Here are some pics!

This one is of Daniel and I when we took the kids hiking up Refridgerator Canyon.

Anna Posing for me!

She looks so cute with the camlepac hiking up!

The kids took swim lessons and loved every second of them! We are getting ready to do it all over again too!

Daniel and I getting ready to watch some fireworks

This picture is the 5 seconds that Daniel got up on his skiis! He was freezing cold, and very determined! Good job honey!

He was so freezing cold in the water! Poor things has no meat on his bones!

Sebs and his buddy Coe!

We took a drive up to Virgina City and spent the afternoon walking around and seeing the sites, this is right after we hit the candy store and all the kids had suckers!

June is over?!

2009-07-05T12:20:00.000-07:00

I can't believe a whole month of summer is gone! We have had a good time though. The first whole part of the month it rained and rained, like everywhere else I hear. But we kept busy. This last weekend we decided to go camping, just our little family up to Seeley Lake. We have never been up that way and have heard it was pretty, and it sure was! We had a great time just relaxing and playing around the camp site. Our kids are getting to be quite the campers. They know the routine and have so much fun!

My perfect SMORE! Thanks to Hollie last year, she taught me the fine points of roasting a perfect marshmallow, and we all know how much I love those!!

We took a little hike around the lake, and it was such beautiful scenery, we also learned that this was the area where A River Runs Through It was filmed!

One of Daniels Co workers told us we had to get a picture taken in front of The Cow, so here we go! I just found out in Montana for every 3 cows there is one person.........

A couple of weeks ago Hollie and Gavin came up to see us. Unfortunatly I had to work on the Saturday she came, so Daniel and her and the kids decided to take a hike up Crow Creek Falls. They never made it to the falls, but said it was pretty and had a good time.

I love these pictures, Thanks for taking them with my dinky little camera Hollie!

Many Events!

2009-06-09T19:43:00.001-07:00

We have been busy here in the Myers household! Here are some pictures of things that have been going on, most recent first. Sebastian turned eight a few days ago and was baptized last Saturday. My sister Susan and her daughter Abby came up, as well as Daniel mom Deb. We all had a great time and loved having the company! Here are some pictures from the baptism.

Anna and Abby

Getting ready to go to the church.

We laugh at this picture because it looks like Grandma Debbie is a short person.. she is really actual size in real life:)

Sebs, Abagail and Aunt Sue-Sue

Our twin girls! It is funny they are only a day apart, and Anna is so much bigger than Abby

Sebastian wanted to have his birthday party at a place here in Helena called Game Pods. Every little boys dream. Any kind of gaming system and game you can imagine, all for them to play. He had a great time, so here are the pictures from that!

This last weekend was the Governor's Cup, and the boys signed up to do the mile fun run. It was snowing in the morning and then raining off and on the rest of the day, but it didn't stop anybody from doing the races. They boys had a fun time!

I told Daniel to go out and pose for me in the snow, nice babe!

Memorial Day we decided to go and visit Gates of the Mountains right outside of town with our friends the Jenkins. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time. After our farry ride, someone from the local news station asked to interview Daniel and Anna and they were on the 10 o clock news! It was pretty cute!

Blog Slacker!

2009-05-28T19:37:00.000-07:00

Hello All! I have been quite the slacker with the blog, but have good excuses. We have been a little busy....... A couple weeks ago, right after my wonderful birthday (thank you for all the birthday wishes!) we hopped in the car to go to Colorado. It was Daniels brother Ben's graduation, and so we thought we would join the family for a little celebration! I decided to stay a little long than the weekend, so Daniel flew home, and the kids and I stayed and visited friends all week. It was a lot of fun, we loved seeing everyone, and makes us realize how much we miss our Colorado peeps! Daniel has been doing good with his job, but has recently had a little foot injury that has slowed down his running, much to his dismay, but is getting better very quickly and will be running again before we know it. That takes us to this week...... I had to go in for a little out patient surgery on Tuesday, it has been a long time in the making, and I should have had this 3 weeks ago, but alas my doctor was trying to be conservative, and in the meantime, I was in a lot of pain. We had a miscarraige a few weeks ago, but my body was not taking it too well. Along with the painful process of that alone, I was having many other problems. So I had the surgery this week, and am healing slowly but surely. We have had so many wonderful people helping us, taking the kids and bringing us meals, I am very humbled by everyones generosity and am very grateful for them! I need to heal quickly, because we have many fun things coming up! Sebastians birthday is tomorrow, and we are having a party for him at Game Pods, he is very excited! I am not ready, but will be by tomorrow I suppose. Next week he will be starting Cub Scouts, and getting baptized which he is very excited about. i can't believe he is old enough, but my baby is growing fast! My sister will be coming up to visit(yea!) and also my wonerful mother in law, so we are excited for a fun start to summer! Here are a few pictures of our last month!

My wonderful friend Hollie, sent me a cake for my birthday from a delicious bakery here in Helena, and it was so yummy! Thank you Hollie, you are the bestest!

This is the grad Ben, with Uncle Sterling, who came with his wife Denise all the way from Arizona, we had so much fun with them, and I found a wonderful card player partner with Denise, she even knew Shang hi rummy!

This is AnnaBelle and Aunt Kara, who she just loves!! And Kara spoils her rotten, and Anna loves it! We all love Aunt Kara, and are so happy she is in the family!

This is Emily, with Rowan, Uncle Sterling, and Daniels brother Nate.

This is a wonderful picture, because it has Great Grandma Foster, Uncle Sterling, Aunt Denise, Uncle Doug, Grandma Deb, and our family!

Here is David and he best bud Braxton, at the Denver zoo.

Happy 30th Kassiah!

2009-05-05T00:00:00.000-07:00

As I am sure you all know, it is cinco de mayo, which can only mean one thing - it's Kassiah's birthday! Now, because we have moved away from family and friends and have had family and friends move away from us, it was impossible to have everybody together in one place to celebrate. So I asked family and friends to send photos of their birthday greetings to Kassiah. Below is the video compilation. If you want to send your photo-birthday-greeting to Kassiah, you can still do so before I make the final DVD for her - just email me your photo at nacho_dan@yahoo.com.

Sebastian's cruising!

2009-05-04T20:55:00.000-07:00

Sebastian's friend from school invited us to go ride motorcycles with him and his family. Sebastian took right to the little motorcycle they had. Here is a video showing him on his first attempt. A special thanks to the Phillips family for having us along!

"Happy Swinter mom!"

2009-04-29T15:12:00.000-07:00

This is what my kids said to me this morning in the car on the way to school! It is dumping snow here!!! This is a picture of our back door, the snow is just piled up. It is suppose to snow until tomorrow and the going to be in the 60's on Saturday. It is going to melt so fast! Next post will be about our basement flooding!! But lets hope not!

So we tried to keep the kids occupied by doing some painting! It worked for maybe an hour!

So to all of you out there from the Myers family Happy Swinter everyone!!

One more thing......

2009-04-17T15:06:00.000-07:00

I forgot to mention that Daniel got on skiis for the first time during this last trip. He did great, and was a master of the bunny hill by the end. Hollie had her camera that day so I don't have any pictures yet, but there are many to come!!! So stay tuned!

The goings ons......

2009-04-16T19:35:00.000-07:00

Okay, so here we are with some pictures! Daniel has been asking me every day when I was going to post something, so fine! Here we go! We recently went to Idaho to visit the Smarts for our Spring Break! We had such a good time thanks to Hollie! We went skiing two more times, and played around in the lovely town of Hailey and Boise. My kids are finally warming up to Rocky(the dog) and wanted to play with him all of the time, not so sure he wanted to play with them as much though! Gavin loved having other kids around and they all played so nicely together!

We drove to Boise to see my friend RaeAnn( who we love and had so much fun with!) and we stopped at the Boise Zoo, or should I say Zoo Boise which I don't get! It was nice weather and we had a great time playing! Hollie and I think we got a little color on our feet and hands even!

Having my favorite drink at my favorite place!! Red Robin BABY!

This video is just so funny of Gavin and Anna walking to the ski hill in their ski boots! I love it!

2009-03-22T12:29:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures of the little ones dressing up and having fun. David was very serious for his Jedi pictures, since he is a fully trained Jedi thanks to Disney World!

Here we are March 16th, and it dumped snow on us. The nice thing is that it was a warmer snow day, so the kids were able to go outside and have fun in the snow. Our back yard is at a slight enough slant that the kids can sled down it.

I opened our front window and this is what we saw across from our house. Kinda funny. If only we had a gun.......:)

Life in Montana........

2009-03-10T19:29:00.000-07:00

Well, I haven't posted much lately, because there is not much going on here. It is much slower pace than I am used to, and not much to do. My day consists of waking up, taking Sebs to school, maybe exercising, hanging around at the house with the kiddos, picking up Sebs, dinner and bed. So as you can see, not much to blog about! We have had little things happen, like Anna killing the nerve in her front tooth because she falls and has hit it one too many times, kids getting the seasonal coughs, and I can't think of anything else! So if you are wondering, yes we are still here, and yes it is freakin' cold still! Looking forward to the lazy days of summer and missing you all!!! We are going to visit Hollie and Travis in a couple of weeks, I am sure I will have fun pictures and stories to tell then! Love to all! Here are some pictures to enjoy!

To those of you who have a mac, you know of the fun photo booth, so to those of you who ever took a picture on our computer, we now own the rights to publish your pictures! See if you can guess all of these beautiful faces!

Canvas Paintings

2009-02-20T17:35:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I have been wanting to do this forever, and i finally got off my behind today and did it! What do you think? Daniel suggested selling them on ebay or something, i don't know if they are that good, give me some input!

Ski Fiesta!

2009-01-20T18:30:00.000-08:00

This last weekend we headed over to Idaho for a little fun with one of our favorite families the Smarts! We had so much fun hanging out with them, and they were nice enough to take us all skiing! Our family has never been, except me, and the Smarts are like olympic skiiers! SO, they were a LOT of help and very patient with all of us! To all of our surprise AnnaBelle loved it! She went up and down the hill for four hours, until we pulled her off! David was a very determined little man, not much for balance and skill, but he sure did like zooming down the hill and crashing many times, and had a blast doing it. Sebs had a rough start and got frustrated at first, but Hollie gave him lots of pointers and self esteem boosts, and after a couple of hours he was going down by his self and getting to the bottom on his two skiis still standing. So anyways, we all had a great time and loved hanging with Hollie, Travis, and Gavin. They were so nice to let us come and crash their pad for the weekend, and I am sure they loved the peace and quiet once the Myers hurricane left! Here are some great pics of our trip!Gavin and Anna very excited to get into their ski gear.

Anna going up with Daniel on the Magic Carpet Ride!

David attempting to do pizza with his skiis.

After his great attempt, he crashed, this was the pattered, and he didn't care!

Hollie was Annas favorite person to take her up the hill.

That is Hollie behind Anna trying to teach her to do a pizza, look how talented Hollie is! I would fall right on my head if I tried to do that on skiis

Hollie and I going up for a quick run on the hill, she was a great teacher, thanks Holls!!

Workin Mama

2009-01-10T20:41:00.000-08:00

So it is official, I have a little part time job. I got hired at the scrapbooking store here in Helena and worked all day today. It was lovely! What more could a girl ask for, I was around paper and embellishments all day long!!!! Daniel had the kids and had an eventful day, including buying a $75 piece of broken pottery, thanks to David......... Don't know how long he will want me doing this, but we will see!:) I am going to be teaching classes at the store and my first class is next month. The class description and a write up about me on the the web site for the store, I feel kinda famous or something! Check it out! www.thememorytrail.com Go under what's new and also classes! I know you are just dying to check it out right?? Here is the picture of the lovely new piece of pottery that we are the proud owners of, I know you are all jealous!

Happy Birthday Travis

2009-01-05T17:36:00.000-08:00

Well, what do you know...it's Travis's Birthday. But what do you give a guy who seems to have it all - a great smile, cool hair, Blokus, and a happy family? Well, we decided you sing him a song. So Travis, enjoy the song and have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

AnnaBelle Through The Years!

2009-01-04T15:38:00.000-08:00

Seems just like yesterday I was having this little baby, and yesterday she turned 3! She is a spunky, energetic, very emotional, girly girl. Her many nicknames that we have for her are Nanners, Anna-Banana, Queen Grumpy Pants(daddy came up with that one), and Anna-Belly. We love her so much! Here are a few pictures of her throughout the last 3 years!

One Year Old

Queen Grumpy Pants strikes again!

For her birthday she wanted to go to the Carousel, one of the only fun places to go when it is freezing outside. We let her ride and ride and then eat ice cream, she loved it.

Happy Third Birthday!!

My pretty little princess AnnaBelle!

Pictures by the tree

2009-01-02T22:06:00.000-08:00

Here are the kiddos all dressed up for chruch the Sunday before Christmas. They all were very good at letting me take some pictures of them!

Of course Sebs had a few different poses for me, these are just two of many!

Wii Fun Time with David

2009-01-02T21:40:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas!!

2008-12-19T20:12:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas everyone!! Here is a picture of Daniel and the kiddos with Santa at the good ol' Helena Mall!! The good thing is we didn't have to wait in a line at all eaither, not too many people there at all, EVER!

Sebs had a Christmas program at school and was so excited to perform for us! He has recently told us that when he grows up he wants to be a singer or an actor. I am torn, don't know if I should be happy or a little worried, I love him so much though and I think he is a great little singer and actor! He has recently started to sing the hymns with me in church, and I absolutly love it!! Enjoy the song!

My Quiltin' Mama

2008-12-14T18:25:00.000-08:00

For those of you who know my mom, and those of you that don't, she is the best quilter around town! She is a very talented lady when it comes to making these, and I am very lucky because she sent me one of her latest creations! This snowman is very cute, and took many many long hours to make. I know it will be a family heirloom for years to come and I am so grateful to my mom for making this for me! I love her very much and will miss her for the next two years while she is away! Thanks mama!! Love ya!

Happy Birthday Baby David!!

2008-12-11T08:09:00.000-08:00

Well, I know most people get pictures from when they were a baby up to now, but I don't have them on my computer and just don't want to go through all of my CD's. So here is a picture from Easter last year to now. He has changed so much just within that year! Our little guy who we tend to call Baby David, even though he is 5 years old now, has always had a special place in our hearts! He is such a sweet little guy, compassionate, caring, and the quiet comedian of the family. Anyone who knows him can see that he has such a good heart. He is completely convinced that he will be Spiderman when he gets big, and says" don't worry mom, I will still live with you when I am SpiderMan!" We love our little guy so much and can't believe how fast he is growing!

Quote for the day

2008-12-10T13:38:00.000-08:00

As I was getting lunch ready for the kids, David says "Mom, your a babe!" I say well thanks, but where did you hear that? "TV" Of course. I'm not going to argue with a 5 year old though!

DisneyWorld Part 1

2008-11-25T07:00:00.000-08:00

To warn you all! I did take way too many pictures and will be posting a lot of them, so I apologize in advance if you get sick of looking at Disney pictures! We had such a great time with all of my family! To those of you who have known me for the last two years, that is how long we have been waiting to go on this trip. This is also the last time we will see my parents and brother for a couple of years, so it was a good way to spend the time! My sister Susan was the master planner and she did a great job! We were there for 9 days, and still didn't see everything we wanted to. Needless to say, we will for sure be planning another trip there in the next few years! Preferably when our kids are 6 years and older so we aren't carrying them around the parks all day!!!! These pictures are also in reverse order because I forgot that they post the opposite way!

This is a picture of me, my mom, and sister at Epcot.

Sisters!

This is a coca cola store where you can sample cokes all around the world, I think France had the best flavor and Italy won the most yucky flavor.

Anna and Abby in the mouth of Bruce!

Daniel is such a stud, he can hold the whole Epcot ball in his hands!

This is my oldest nephew Kevin getting a smooch from Minnie!

My sister was awesome and made reservations at all of the best resturants for the trip for us, and we had three meals with the characters, the kids loved to have the one on one time with them it was great!

Anna was terrified of all of the characters, especially the ones at the meals. She was clutching on to my dad for dear life in this picture! I think my dad secretly loved it!:)

This is the first character Anna actually sat by herself and took a picture with and even gave a hug to! I think she is now her favorite, I think it is because she didn't have a big head or look weird!

Snow White was really nice also!

These guys were called the Betnicks(sp?), they played awesome music. Sebs got to go up and play a song with them on the bell. It was really fun to watch and now they are his favorite band!

You can kinda tell Anna is getting into dancing to the song!

Bugs life in 3-D!

The kids got books that all of the characters could sign, they thought that was really fun!

This picture is of all of the great grand kids and my grandma and grandpa. This will be a keeper in the years to come.

We found these fun Mickey ears to take pictures in, we have all of our family pictures taken in them too, but I don't have copies of those yet!

David loved all of the characters!

My brother Greg and Anna, she really warmed up to my brothers and dad this trip, it was fun.

Goofy and Goofy!

My parents with the "twins"

My brother Jason made Daniel try some sushi at the Japanese dinner place. He actually did mind it, said it tasted a little like chicken!:)

Our entertaining chef!

Pluto and the kids.

The magic kingdom parade, the kids loved it!

David waited so patiently in line to meet Buzz Lightyear! I think it was is favorite part, his eyes were so fun to watch get big and smile when he got up there!

He took off his Buzz hat to show Buzz. It was really cute!

The kids after riding Splash Mountain! They all loved it!

On the plane getting ready to go!!!

Coming soon!

2008-11-24T09:24:00.000-08:00

The trick or treat crew

2008-11-04T16:15:00.000-08:00

We went to Daniels work to trick or treat, and then headed down the downtown outside mall where all the businesses were doing trick or treating. The weather was great and the kids had a fun time, it was a good halloween!

Our little witch!

David is not only a S.W.A.T guy, but he also has the force as you can see!

Sebs the Power Ranger, David the SWAT guy, and our little witch in an alley way that I thought was a good spot to take a picture. Little did we know it was also where the people at the bar right by it take their smoking breaks, so they kept poking their heads out to see if we were done taking the picture. It was funny.

Birthday Song for RaeAnn!

2008-11-01T18:31:00.000-07:00

Grandma Deb's Here!!

2008-10-29T20:37:00.000-07:00

Grandma Deb came all the way from Greeley to visit us in our new place!! Usually we have to share her with 15 other grandkids, but this time we had her all to ourselves!! We had a great time showing her around H-town. We were sad to see her leave. I couldn't resist taking this picture of her with AnnaBelle walking around downtown.

Pumpkin carving time! We bought these pumpkins and made the kids wait til grandma came to carve them, so they were very excited!

Two of the three finished products!

Can you say HILLBILLY?

2008-10-29T20:34:00.000-07:00

Couldn't resist taking this picture, notice the fridge outside?? This truck has hillbilly written on all four sides, and yes, it has a BIG hillbilly behind the wheel as well. Gotta love Montana!

Little Workers!

2008-10-29T20:27:00.001-07:00

I couldn't resist this picture, Daniel actually took it too!!! I was scrapbooking all day and he took the kids to a little Fall Fest event going on. The kids had a good time and the coolest part of all were these little home depot aprons they got to keep! We also used them to carve pumpkins, more to come!!!

My Ninja!

2008-10-19T16:43:00.000-07:00

Oh how I love my friend Hollie! She drove down from Hailey Idaho to visit me! It was so nice to have another person around to do stuff with, especially considering it was her! She is one of the best people you will ever meet, she is kind and funny, an all around great person and I feel lucky to call her my best friend! I love you Holls! You'll always be my #1 ninja!

Hollie did airplane with the kids and Anna and Gavin thought it was so much fun, and they looked so cute from down below that I had to take a picture!

The two amigos! Oh how the tables have turned with these two. Anna use to bully him a bit and he would just look at her like " what the heck?" But now, he is the one giving it to her, and she screams her head off when he comes near. It was funny to watch. Some day, you wait and see, we will have to worry about keeping them apart, right? When they date and get married and stuff?? Oh we have high hopes for these two:)

Our first Montana snow!

2008-10-19T16:32:00.000-07:00

We woke up last weekend to see this! Lots of snow on the ground. So Daniel and the kids got all of the gear out and tried to sled in our backyard, there is a bit of a slope. They had fun! We will have lots more of those days to come I am sure!

Deer in our back yard

2008-10-19T16:27:00.001-07:00

Oh, I looked out the window and what did I see?
6 big deer eating grass by me!

Yes this is right out our back window of our house, they are everywhere! You drive into town and they are just wandering through the yards eating the grass, it is a little crazy. It never used to be this bad. From what I hear, they are going to start to "take care of the problem" How I do not know, but we shall see!!!

Park Lake fun

2008-10-06T20:20:00.000-07:00

Sunday we decided to take a drive up to a place called Park Lake. It was only 30 minutes away and it was beautiful. We took a little hike around the lake and the kids had a blast. The all loved posing for the camera, which is rare, and had fun. It was nice to get out and enjoy nature.

Back yard find!

2008-10-06T19:47:00.000-07:00

We were playing in the back yard the other day and David found this butterfly in the grass and picked it up. It just sat there and let him hold it. I thought maybe it was dead or hurt, but sure enough after a couple of minutes it flew away just fine. He thought it was pretty cool.

Road Trip!

2008-09-28T20:11:00.000-07:00

So we decided to go on a little road trip to Hailey, Idaho to visit our best friends the Smarts! It is only a 5 hour drive, which is much better than 12 from Denver!! We had a great time with them and had so much fun just hanging out. My favorite part was riding their cruiser bikes, I felt like such an dork, but it was fun. here are some pictures of the trip!

I know I look like such a dork in the picture, but I just had to post it for the love of Hollie!

We went to a little park with a ground water fountain, the kids had so much fun running around and getting wet!

Packing paper fun!

2008-09-28T16:50:00.000-07:00

Anna and David were having fun jumping in the packing paper. They thought it was the coolest thing ever!!

We have been majorly putting off getting David a big bike with training wheels! So we finally did it and he loves it so much! He is out there every day practicing, I think those training wheels are going to come off alot sooner than we think!

Anna had to pose with her princess scooter of course!

Good Bye Dillon Circle!!

2008-09-27T21:17:00.001-07:00

Here is the last picture of our house right before we left! It looked so good but sad all empty and very clean.

Here is the boys room all empty:(

Here is my pretty kitchen!

Pictures to come!

2008-09-25T20:33:00.001-07:00

Sorry for such a delay in the blogging, I will get pictures uploaded and posted soon. We just got our internet yesterday, so I will get on it soon!!!

We Made It!

2008-09-18T18:49:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone! I just wanted to post that we made it safely to Helena! The moving van comes tomorrow morning and the fun begins! I want to thank everyone for all of the love and support they have given us this last couple of weeks with the move. We couldn't have done it without you all!! We will miss you all so much!!! I hope everyone keeps in touch. Our cell #s are the same and of course my blog. I will be updating email address as soon as I can! Til next time.......

Paint H E double hockey sticks!

2008-09-13T22:43:00.001-07:00

Please excuse the title, but that I what I have been in! So I was thinking I would be all good to go around my house and fill in all of the holes from the pictures on the walls and touch up the paint, right? Should be easy, right?? So I go around my ENTIRE first floor and do this, I wait for the paint to dry, and it is not looking like it is blending too well, so maybe it just needs to dry for longer, right??? Oh, NO. I guess paint fades, which no one told me! So now I have have these blotch marks of darker paint all over my walls, on the first floor. So what do I have to do you ask?? I have to re-paint my whole first floor, in 4 days! Impossible you say? Well, I am happy, and very tired and sore to say, I did it! All I gotta say is whoever rents this place better not complain about the paint, or else they are evicted! I am happily going to get a full body massage tomorrow, well deserved I think. Just a day before the movers come and I have all new stresses to worry about!!

Our last Moab trip!

2008-09-12T20:46:00.000-07:00

Labor Day weekend, we decided last minute to cancel our camping trip with our wonderful friends the Smarts:(, and head to Moab for the last time, for at least two years. My parents are leaving on a mission, my oldest brother and family are moving back to Tokyo, and my other brother is packing up his family in an RV and traveling the country for a year or so until they find a place they want to live!! And we, of course, are on our way to Montana!! So we all met there for the weekend and had a great time doing all of the Moab things!! Here are some of the pictures. This first one is of my mom and dad with all of their grandkids!

Our dear sweet David

Kevin, the oldest and dearest cousin to all of the kids, and Sebs. Kevin is such a good friend to all of the younger cousins, and he loves his aunts and uncles even though we make him our slave most of the time! We love him!

Grandpa and Anna

My crazy sister SUE-SUE!!! I love her!!!

Abby and Anna, the twin cousins!

Race car drivers Sebs and Kevin

Sisters!

Our new home

2008-09-12T20:34:00.001-07:00

Here are a few of the pictures that I took of our soon to be home in Helena. It is a brand new duplex, as big as our house which is great. It is in a new development called Nob Hill. We hope we will like it!:)

Suva, Fiji!

2008-08-29T12:03:00.000-07:00

My parents have been waiting very impatiently for the last 4 weeks to hear about their mission call for the church. They finally got it today in the mail and we were here for them to open it! We were all guessing places like Salt Lake and boring places, and low and behold they are going to Fiji!!! Very cool. I guess we will start a Fiji fund to go and visit them in the next two years!

Oh Montana, give this child a home!

2008-08-26T15:55:00.001-07:00

Okay, it is official, we are moving to Montana! This has been a hard decision to make over a month of thinking it over and over again, but we figure what the heck!!! It is a good job opportunity for Daniel, and it is a beautiful area. We decided we are up for the adventure. It will be a year trial, and if we are done and want to come back "home" we will. We are renting our house here so we will still have a place to come home too. We will miss our many wonderful family and friends that we have made here and will be very sad and lonely, hopefully they have as cool of people up there as we do here!:) We will keep you all posted on our progress!! Wish us luck!!!

Myers Pumpkin Patch

2008-08-20T07:30:00.001-07:00

Here is my garden in my backyard. It has done pretty good this year, except for the fact that I planted pumpkins! They are taking over my back yard and I think by Oct we will have enough to charge for a pumpkin patch!! It is actually growing as I type. I go out there in the moring and it has grown overnight, it is a little crazy! We won't be spending money on pumpkins this year though, so that is good!!!

Free Willie!!

2008-08-20T07:27:00.001-07:00

As many of you know we had a pet salamander named Willie! We have had him for about a year now and decided it was time to let him go free! So here is David holding Willie for the last time and letting him go off and do the things that salamanders do!! We will miss you Willie!

First Day of 2nd Grade

2008-08-20T07:23:00.001-07:00

Here he is! My big 7 year old going off to 2nd grade! Time flies! I never thought that was true until I had kids and they grow up so fast right in front of your eyes! I sound like my mom!:) He had a great day of school and loves his new teacher and of course seeing all of his friends again!

My friends awesome CD

2008-08-18T20:58:00.000-07:00

Hey there - Daniel here. So a good friend of mine who I had the pleasure to serve with as a missionary in Montreal has released a CD. He was an amazing solo pianist when I met him, and the 10 years or so since have only made him better. So I am putting a plug out for him - go to his website, listen to his samples, and then buy his album like I did from iTunes (or elsewhere). Visit www.michaelethington.com for all the details and a sample of the best piano music you've heard in a long time.

Lake McConaughey

2008-08-13T16:30:00.000-07:00

So, here we go AGAIN, now to Lake McConaughey in Nebraska. It was my idea to get the Myers clan all together and do a family thing, but only two of the 6 other siblings could make it, but it was still really fun. We also had our friends the Tanners come with us, but they camped in a hotel instead of the beach! We got there and all we knew was we wanted to find a place called Sandy Beach. So we find it at 8pm and it is dark outside already. We figure we will just drive on down there and find a spot, easy right? Well we get down there and start driving around in the sand, and the next thing we know, we are so stuck! So we decided that it was a great place to put up the tents and camp, we got pulled out in the morning. It was a fun trip and the kids had a blast playing in the white smooth sand all weekend and playing in the water! We would for sure do this one again!

Here is our van, very stuck

Here is Daniel trying to dig us out with a camping shovel. It made him feel useful....

David and his cousin Trevor, loved racing eachother.

Funnel Cloud????? So Daniel thinks...................

2008-08-07T19:32:00.001-07:00

We had a tornado warning the other night, which we take way more serious now since the ones in Windsor happened. Our neighbors came over that didn't have basements. So all the women and children were in the basement, and of course the "men" were upstairs looking for funnel clouds. Smart right? Anyways, they swear that this one was a beginning of one. I don't know, it looks pretty close though. This is the view from one of our upstairs bedrooms.

Georgetown

2008-07-30T20:15:00.000-07:00

We went on a one nighter camping trip with our friends the Roses. It was a beautiful area and we had a good time. We went fishing, which isn't too much fun with little kids, but David actually had so much patience and really enjoyed it. Here are a few pics.

Daniel and Justin with their guns, BB guns that is.

We told that kids to put on a skit for us, and they had Daniel play the leading role of a giant. It was pretty cute.

Tiny Town

2008-07-30T20:08:00.000-07:00

Daniel and I took the kids to Tiny Town, it is literally a tiny town, all the houses and everything are small, and there is a train to ride. We brought our friend Annie and her kids. Here are a couple of pics, Daniel and I were trying on the conducter look in this picture, pretty hot don't you think??

Myers Family Fun

2008-07-28T21:05:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures of the whole Myers Clan at a picnic in Highlands Ranch at a great park. The kids loved spending time with cousins and there was a ton to do. We had a great time!

Daniel took this picture of Sebs looking at the window while we were driving, we thought it was cute.

Here we go to South Dakota!!!

2008-07-16T14:24:00.000-07:00

So here we go again on another trip!!! This time off to South Dakota to the Black Hills and to see the sights. It was so much more fun than we thought it would be. The Black Hills are absolutely beautiful! We found a camp sight about an hour into the hills that we really secluded and the sights were right along a little creek that was great for the kids. IT was nice a cool during the day. We went to see a few sights and just hung out at the campground. We will definately be going back next year, but we will be bring 4 wheelers with us because there were so many trails to go on and it would be so much fun!!!

The whole group!!

AnnaBelle and Lily, they had a love hate relationship. They would be playing so sweet with eachother one minute and then the next they were yelling at eachother and pushing the other one over. It was pretty funny.

Daniel and I at Crazy Horse.

Three cute kids!!

A few people told us that we had to get the ice cream at the bottom of Mt. Rushmore, so we did, and they were right, it was so good!!

We love ice cream!!

Okay, Here are some pictures from the 4th, they are a little out of order, but oh well. I still haven't figured out how to change the order of it all. Here is Sebs with a sparkler....

Here are my brothers Jason and Greg, the fire starters of the evening...
Okay so this picture is Daniels favorite, him and Jason were trying to catch a crawdad for about 30 minutes, and after many pinches and failed attempts, he was victorious!!!
They MEN trying to catch a crawdad.....
This is the face Anna gave me when I told her to smile.......nice.

My handsome boys.....

Fireworks in the street, and it was all legal!!!

Anna did not enjoy the noise of the fireworks, soon after this picture they went inside for the evening, I think they both were happy about not being out there!
Sebs and Grandpa Schern...

I love the look the Anna is giving to Jason, like "who the heck are you?"
I love this picture, classic Sebs. I told him to look at the camera for a picture, and instead he thought he would strike a pose............. Vogue!

Happy 4th of July!!

2008-07-05T20:37:00.000-07:00

Happy 4th from the Myers family! More pics to come!

Be Careful What You Wish For!

2008-06-30T18:00:00.001-07:00

Okay, I have had a DAY! I was the one that wished for a little girl, and Boy did I get one! I have had a day with her where I wonder if I am qualified to be a mom or not. I have been hit, scratched, bit, had my jewelry torn off, am I forgetting anything? Oh yea, all by one child. Any one else have one of these days? Please say yes, or else I think I will have to trade my daughter in because she is defective!! It doesn't matter what I do, or say when the switch clicks in her brain she is out of control! I sure hope it is just a phase, because this mommy can't take much more!!! That is all. Any advise? Thanks for letting me vent! Hope everyone else had a better day than I did!

Sand Dunes!

2008-06-22T18:41:00.000-07:00

Here are the pictures from our sand dunes trip! We went with our friends from Castle Rock, and had a lot of fun. All three kids loved playing in the sand and water!

One of her rare moments that I got a picture of her wearing her hat.

I love twinkies!

I was trying really hard to get a picture of all three kids together. This is the best one I got!

David was wearing his hat and I thought he looked so cute. So I told him to smile and this is the cheesey grin I got!

The kids liked to play in this man made pool, it was pretty cool. There were people there who got a huge shovel and dug a man size pool that a ton of people could go in, I should have gotten a pic of that!!

Surfs up!

Jackson Lake!

2008-06-21T20:11:00.000-07:00

Okay, well the explanation of this trip is at the bottom of the pictures, I couldn't get it at the top!!! So scroll down!!:)

This is DAvid with Cheyanne, Braxton, and Josh on the tube. He loved it!

Sebs and Josh taking a turn on the tube.

AnnaBelle and Cheyanne on the boat.

This picture is for you Hollie!!! ARen't you proud of me? It was so much fun! This was my first time on a wake board and it was awesome! I will defintly do that one again!

Here are the guys getting water out of the boat after it flooded, that was only the first of many problems to come!:(

The three amigos, David Braxton and Luke.

We recently did a couple of camping trips, first to the Sand Dunes down by Alamosa and then Jackson Lake by Ft. Morgan. I will post Sand Dunes later. Both were pretty dang fun and very tiring for mommy. I did the Jackson Lake trip without Daniel for the most part and that took a toll on all of us, but it was worth it. We went with the Millers and the Sturgells and had a great time. They rented a boat and it was going fine, then it broke down. The two husbands spent 1 1/2 days trying to fix it, and they did. But then a day later it broke again. Needless to say they were very frustrated and by the second breakdown they called it quits, which is a bummer. But we had a great time anyways. My kids loved being around all of the other kids. Anna loved the older girls, and David had his buddies Luke and Braxton, and Sebs followed around the older boys! All in all a fun week! here are some pics!!!
