Cotillion

Little K was invited to attend Cotillion with her friend, Colton. It was held in Ogden. This is her last official high school dance. She had so much dress that it filled the truck.. They were meeting friends to get into a limo. I hope it is a fun night for her. Big weekend, did my 13.2 mile walk, we had a bridal shower for Caraline and got K off on her date.

Easter 2010...

You are only allowed one crazy face pose mom!

The creme soda is always a coveted prize.

She hasn't changed. Always a kid and going for the goodies.

Checking it out.

The Easter Dad

Nat sporting a new and very attractive hairdo.

Kallee on the go.....always.

Cuncan offering a prayer? Clarification: We call Duncan "Cuncan". This is due to some mail coming to our house to Cuncan and Kallee. Also, his father goes by the same name and it is less confusing. Thanks Nate for inquiring.

Success in obtaining the chips!

I pleaded for derf man to pose for the camera.

The lucky egg!

proud owner of some money eggs.

checking out the trees....the dead trees add character along the side of the yard.

Our children will never be too old to hunt eggs. As long as the easter mom and dad can move they will host the annual hunting of eggs....and yes true to tradition there is always a money egg or two.

The expert egg man

Need I say more? The pictures tell the story. Just wish I had the camera on video!! Funny Cuncan.

This was a wonderful day. Blake became part of our eternal family.

And the family just kept growing...Little K is the baby in this picture.

This was taken at my parents home just a few weeks after we announced our engagement. We had a special dinner together. I hung out with Derf's sister a lot and we did aerobics together. So young back then.

Best Hubby and Daddy!!!

Derf always has time for the kids. He loves the adventures and trips we take with the family. In this picture we went to arches with friends. Notice that Nat and Kall are holding hands. How sweet!! One time they were so naughty that we tied them together with string. They have better memories about that then I do and it would be great for them to post about it sometime.

Derf man helping the girls and neighbor to build a snowman.

Here we are at Disneyland with our favorite friend, Mickey!! Derf works hard so that we can have play time as a family.

Derf man has a love for animals and our kids enjoyed parenting the new puppies that came along.

Here we are a young family. The little baby is Joshy. He looked so cute on his blessing day in his little Tuxedo. Derf has and always will be the best hubby and daddy. He works so hard for our family everyday.

The early years

Our wedding day==27 years ago Mar. 15. My mother added about 70 feet worth of beading on my dress. My bouquet was a replica of the one she had when she got married. It had two white orchids in the middle surrounded by red roses.

Candy Bars, our new filly along with our new daughter, Nat. This picture was taken by my dad's barn.

Newly Married. Provo Temple. Happy Day even if it was so cold.....

One of my favorite pictures of Fred. We are up at Nordic Valley...now Wolf Mountain. There is a stake camp there and we had gone up for an Elder's Quorum Party. I just love that red hair. Funny we didn't get any red heads of our own.

My hubby through the years...

The cutest red headed boy ever.

Bustin through the bumps!!

As a missionary in Ireland

Here is proof that my husband once had red hair!!! Isn't he just adorable? I love him so much.

Graduation from BYU.

Totally Disgusting

Fred and Limmie enjoy a brisk walk everyday. Being an animal owner one must assume the responsibility of cleaning up after your animal. Keeping this in mind Fred is always prepared and takes with him plenty of "doggy" bags and bags with treats in them for his beloved beagle.
They enjoy these outings three times a day and it's great exercise for the both of them. I was home one day when Fred told me of a hilarious but disgusting moment related to dog walking that day. Usually out on his walks there are trash receptacles where he can deposit what Limmie has left behind. This particular day he was not as fortunate and placed the bag in his pocket. ( I never do that!!) I always keep it out so that it does not permeate my clothing. Needless to say Fred came home grabbed a bag from his pocket and placed it in the fridge. He then went to get the bag of treats (he had cut up some cooked elk for a treat and placed it in a bag)and put them away. When he opened the fridge a second time he then discovered that he had put the dog poop in the fridge instead of the treats!! Luckily it wasn't in the fridge very long or I would have destroyed everything in it!! Totally Disgusting!!!! Never, ever try that one at your house.
