Our Story...

We live in small town Franklin, Idaho and absolutely love it!! Tim and I have been married for 11 years and we have three crazy, busy boys; Nicholas (Nic) is 9, Tyler (Ty) is 6, and Joshua (Josh) is 4 and a precious little girl (Alexys) who just turned 1. Tim works for the U.S. Postal Service as a Supervisor. I am a State Licensed Daycare Provider and Preschool Teacher. I love my job (most of the time) and I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have to be home with my kids. I don't have time for scrapbooking and so this is as close as it gets to preserving my family's journey through life.


Family...Ours is Forever.

Gone Fishin'

June 2010
Tim took us over to Newton for some fishing.  We met Grandpa Denton there too so it was extra fun.  It rained on us a lot of the time but that didn't stop the boys.  As long as they had their mud boots and their umbrellas they were happy. We didn't catch anything but we still had a great time.

Ty and Grandpa

Josh is all smiles with his umbrella

Check out those muddy boots!

Nic liked making the rocks skip in the water....I thought his was a great pic of him.

Me and my boys

May (just had to post-pics)

So many posts, so little time....here are a few pics that I had to post with a little note about each.

Alexys with hair??  We got the biggest laugh about this one!

Josh has been getting himself dressed for quite a while...and once in a while he comes upstairs with something on inside out or backwards....this morning he came upstairs with everything inside one wrong.  Couldn't help but take a pic.  Love you Josh!

For preschool and daycare this year I decided to order one of those raise your own catarpillars into butterflies and release them kids and it was so much fun!!  The kids loved watching them grow from 1/4 inch catarpillars into fat 1 1/2 inch catarpillars-then into their crysallis stage and then to painted lady butterflies. 

Nic loved holding the butterflies

This was the funnest class-I enjoyed each of them so much and miss them already!!

Tyler's Kindergarten Graduation

He did it!  My Ty graduated!!  He sang each song so well and knew every word.  He sang loud and clear and in such a deep voice, he kind of stood out - I think he kind of carried the class in the whole thing (but that's just a proud momma talkin).  He was so cute and was all smiles when it was done.  We love you Ty, you are such a smart little guy and we're so glad that you're in our family.

Ty saying his part "A is for America. We began each day with the pledge of allegence".

And then leading his class in the pledge.

The kids really got into this song, it was way cute!

Ty and Mrs. Murray-he loved his teacher!!  He still says he misses her

Some of Ty's family who got to come and enjoy the program
