{Little Max}

Congratulations Neil, Cortney, Mason and Avery ~ we are excited for your family. There is nothing like a new baby. And man is he a cute one!!!






Welcome to the family little Max, we are in love with you already.

{Date Night}

We had the boys watch the girls while we went out. While we were out the Denali decided to die. Luckily Dad, Mom, Marshall, Bethany and Treyson had been to a wedding and were passing by around that time. So I caught a ride home with them. Kent stayed there waiting for Brad to come tow him and the stinking Denali. When I got home the kids were good. Braydon was up and fine to watch them while I ran into town to get Kent from the dealers shop. When we walked in this is what we found. It made us laugh. They sure do love each other. We had to snap some shots before we hauled them all to bed.

They both had a good day!

I tried to upload a video of each of them pinning a kid but it won't work. Maybe another time.

{A BUNCH AT ONCE}

Okay I posted a bunch at once. So keep scrolling down it goes on for a while. I have been a blog slacker. Sorry bout that too. :) Becca

{the Latest Marly-isms}

The other day Marly went into town really quickly to get Mommy some hangers with Grandma. In the store she wanted to push the cart. Well Marly was bumping into things and Grandma told her if she kept doing that she was going to have to help Marly push. Marly got all huffy "If you don't be nice I am not coming to your house" she announced loudly to Grandma. Well Mom trying not to laugh told her she wasn't being nice and that she better start being good in the store. Marly quickly came back with "Didn't you hear what I said? If you aren't nice I am not going to come to your house!" Marly wasn't even going to her Grandma's house that day.

On the way back home Marly was writing in her new tablet that she got at the store. Apparently the road was bumpy and she said "I just can't tolerate this any longer" as she slammed her pen down on her tablet.

Quite often when we are doing something, like picking out clothes to wear for instance, Marly will say "Well actually....." Then she proceeds to tell me or whom ever why she doesn't like that thing. Like "Well actually I don't even like yellow Grandma."

SO that brings me to yesterday ...

Marly was getting ready to get in the tub. Out of blue she says "Mom when I grow up I want to be famous". Oh really?" I said "what do you want to be? You know you can be anything you want to be when you grow up." Well she got embarrassed for a second and didn't want to talk anymore. Then she finally gave in and said "I want to be famous, I want to be Sharpe".The girl off of HS Musical... WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?

That's our Marly. She keeps us on our toes for sure. Is she 4 or 14?

{St. Patrick's Day}

Today the girls wore their St. Patrick's Day bows. Marly wanted 2 green and 2 pink bows. At first I fought her and then I said "oh well, lets wear 4 bows". For dinner we had Marshall, Bethany and Treyson over for Green Eggs n Ham... with green pancakes. It was a fun dinner. Braydon was at a Pow-Wow so he had to have some when he got home later.

{Family Bowling}

{Sugar-Salem Wrestling}

In the morning they wrestled folkstyle and in the afternoon freestyle... it was a fun long day!

{Happy Birthday Big Buddy}

Well this is a month slow I know. But I still want to post about Braydon's birthday. He has had such a big year: had his Idaho History Project and program... went to the ocean for the first time... learned to use a clutch so he could ride the 70... wakeboarded like a champ... started 5th grade... went to ski school and learned to snow board... played baseball, basketball and is wrestling... he taught Marly to ride her bike with no training wheels... he taught Karsyn to ride the honda 50...learned to fly his little plane... loves to drive the sled... got his arrow of light, religious square knot and all 20 badges badge... went on his first over-night campout with the Scouts-brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...and much more I know I am just forgetting. He is my compassionate boy. He cares about people and wants everyone to be happy. He is also very lively... just like when he was young. WOW! Where he gets his engergy I will never know. He almost always has a smile... the big makes everyone else grin type of smile smile. He likes Red... cheese pizza's... jr. bacon cheese burgers... rootbeer... roast and potatoes... AND he is hungry all the time. What would we do without our Braydon?

Here are two of my favorite old pictures...
