 My Trenton, not so sure about the frog!

 Kodi, Jeremy & Dane~

 Dane driving race car! Right up his alley~

Trenton!

Redwood trees~

We head out to Oregon tomorrow~ We're going a different way--through Las Vegas/Reno. Usually we go through CA..So this will be a new journey for us! Always exciting to see some barren nothingness~ Ha!
Excited to see all the kids..Taryn flies into Medford on Tues. Kevin & Helen & Kids will be there on Wednesday for the graduation ceremony! I can hardly wait to see "my" Trenton~ Mallorie & Kolby are looking forward to seeing his cool tree house, and ice skating at the resort we'll be staying at. Can't wait to see Dane--he calls me MeMaw== Also, Anabeth & Nolan! Just wonderful to get to see my little ones~ Hopefully I'll have lots of pictures to post when we return!

The Twins!

It's so great having the twins back in AZ~ I don't think they are missing this white stuff!

 I can't believe how big they are now~ This just seems like yesterday.

 Little Miss Fisher, all in pink! Such a girl, however she caught the biggest fish!

I remember when he got this for Christmas, I was scared to death--he'd drive all over the back yard! He looked so small~
I'm a little teary today~ Their last day of school will be tomorrow. They'll not be going next week, since we'll be headed to Oregon, for Kodi's graduation. Anyway, just seems crazy that they'll be in the 4th grade next year~ Too fast~

Girls on the Run

 In North Carolina, they have an org. called "Girls on the Run" I think it may be everywhere--need to google that--anyway, Emmie is a member, she runs all the time! And does really well~Emmie is in the middle!

 It must be awful for these adults to see these kids beating them~

 Kolby had his Pinewood Derby last week! But he didn't place! He didn't seem too disappointed. I think he just had fun with his Dad making it!

Cole & Trevor are tired out==What a nice place to rest! ha!

Emmie is on the left--in case you don't recognize her without the shades! ha

Anabeth

Miss Anabeth at the beach! Not sure how old this picture is~ I rarely get pictures of Kevin's kids. Especially Nolan, who is growing up so fast. I hate having my kids so far away~ Anabeth is such a beautiful little girl~ I miss being around her, and watching her and hearing all the funny things she says! Recently Helen was gone for the evening, and Anabeth decided to do her bowel movement in the bath tub!! Kevin got to clean it all up!! I find that so funny. I'm sure Helen was glad she was gone~

Taryn, Derik, Leslie & Richard

 Derik being Derik! Miss these people~ Taryn will kill me for putting these pictures on my blog~ we'll see how long it takes her to see them! ha!

Taryn & Derik have such a good group of friends in NC~ Their ward is wonderful!

Cole--Happy Birthday!

 It was Cole's birthday! He's 3 yrs old now--Loves Spiderman, Batman and tattoos! Ha! We missed his birthday, since we are in Colorado~

Happy Birthday to Cole~

Random Grand kids~!

 Today Emmie Rae got her braces off! She looks so pretty~

 Missing this little stinker!~ He is going to have a birthday, that we will be missing~

Trenton has a new haircut!! Looking forward to seeing him later in the month! Wish I could just bring him home with me, but he is playing baseball. He's doing really well, they are wanting to make him the pitcher~

Kilee's Family

Kilee's good friend took family pictures for her! She also did Kilee's wedding pictures at the Salt Lake City, LDS temple when they got married!

Storie & Kora

The Girls~

 Kora--it seems the only way to get pictures of these two is having them buckled up in the car!

 At Church today, Misha & Jeremy spoke in Sacrament meeting, so Kilee, Dusty & the girls all came for support! It's always great having as many of my kids as possible together at church!! One of my very favorite things~
Misha spoke about Sacred things, which was a challenge for her! There are so many things we hold sacred. The talk turned out very emotional and spiritual! Jeremy spoke about the priesthood. It too was very touching~ He told a really good story about his dad, when they were younger, taking the long way back home from church. Everyone was in a hurry to get home, yet he took some back roads, because the spirit told him too. Thank goodness he was listening, it was a cold snowy day, and as it turned out there was a woman & children who were broke down, and needed his help. Makes me wonder if I hear those sweet still small voices, especially when my radio is on very loudly!!

Elder Killian's house

Our good friends, from NC, Richard & Leslie's son is serving a mission here in AZ==She wanted me to do a drive by and check out the neighborhood where he is living-- So today Misha & I did some driving around to find this lovely home! Ha! Poor Leslie--scared her!

This is the real home where he lives==a very nice neighborhood, with an older sister in that ward! We had our laugh for the day, at poor Leslie's expense!

There is nothing else to say~

Kolby is Student of the month~

Kolby was student of the month!! He was really excited about it.

Trenton the turtle~

Helen with Nolan on her back, & Anabeth & Dane following behind!

The Little Animal in the dryer!

We're looking forward to seeing this little animal! We used to call our Kodi the animal--she was always busy, and into everything~ And now she has her own little animal! Trenton was always so good--very mellow~ But not this little cutie!
Meanwhile, Trenton is sick! We are all really worried about him. He has had a fever for 3 days now--with no other symptoms until today--Kodi took him to the doctor, then last night, took him to ER-- They all seem to be stumped == Can't figure out what is causing the high fever. We're hoping lots of family prayers, and his name on the temple prayer roll will pull him through this!

Oregon in May

This is a picture of the resort we'll be staying at next month. Kodi will be graduating, so we're going out for that. The resort is the Running Y~ It looks really fun. Misha & the twins will be going with us, and Taryn will be flying out also! It will so nice for Kodi to finally be finishing up this part of her degree~ She'll need 2 more semesters, before she has her RN!! Yipee!!
I've been getting a little antsy! No other trips planned. However, I've been looking up trips to Hawaii again~ Just have a really hard time, not wanting to return again & again~
We are still in Colorado, and it's been COLD! However today looks much warmer~ Still I love it. Myrle & I went for a drive yesterday in this area that we always see deer & elk. Saw two different herds--the meadow larks were singing, and there was this crisp smell, that only seems to be here in Colorado~
