Asher Goes to College!

This should have been posted January 7, 2012
Well for anyone who doesn't know, Asher left this week for BYU-Idaho. 

and as proud as we are that she is now a college student, it makes me a whole lot sad to see her go.

She decided to go to BYU-I, so that she could spend some time with Alexis and Emma. 

Well the Emma part came true, they are sharing an apartment together, but unforetunately, Alexis is having some health problems and will not be able to attend this semester. So.........Asher Gone, Alexis still home.

We loaded up the whole family, LITERALLY, EVERYONE went on our Idaho Trip, Me and X, Alexis, Emma, Asher and Deyasia (who we dropped off in Provo at BYU), and Adam and Aaron. Car full to capacity, off we went.

We traveled most of Sunday January 1st, and first official drop off spot was to leave Deyasia in Provo.

We are always sad to see her go, but this being the 2nd half of her sophomore year, she loves it, her apt is cute and we had a chance to meet her roommate. It was sad to leave her... But Idaho was the end stop...

So off we went.

IDAHO....

COLD....

Slippery....

Wet......

COLD....

Let me tell you X, Aaron and Adam can have fun anywhere......

As you can tell, there was never a dull moment.

We were so lucky Emma's Aunt lives in Idaho Falls and we were soooooo blessed to stay with her for a few nights. Her family was great!!!

Easter Break .. The Rule of Boy's begins...

(This is a catch me up post!!)

Well.. The Girls have come and gone. I guess for journal purposes, I guess I should say that Alexis never left in January. She has had so many problems with her stomach, she stayed and had surgery to repair everything. VERY SUCCESSFUL. She doesn't look green anymore. She has great color no more vomiting and to be honest, it was super nice to have her around for the extra few months. For the most part she has been gone for the last couple years. To say that having your adult child living with you doesn't make for some interesting and frustrating times, is an understatement. But.. I also enjoyed the adult that she is, and enjoyed our girl time. 

So spring break brought home Asher and Emma. Really fun. We had a great Easter .. and a wonderful visit. 

If Adam has anything to do with planning for the visit it will be musical. So at 10:30pm one night, poor Asher and Alexis had been incorporated into the family band. Poor Aaron was asleep or almost asleep, and he didnt get to escape. Don't mind X's feet in the video. I think I love this so much, not because they sound fabuloues, or they look great. (Remeber 10:30 and Adam has had chronic Laryngitis. But I love that the girls sang, (I really have not heard Alexis sing since....... She was 11). I loved it!!!

PS They robbed me of MANY sacrament mtg presentations!!! 

Jacob Needs to Do What??

Well when I receive a phone call from my sisters regarding schoolwork, I know immediately I will be required to be creative. So when Rhonda called and told me Jacob needs a simple little project for 2nd grade. Easy right?? Then she brought me the list. It was like, make a Diagram, Chart or poster, 3-D model, short report, Journal, Painting, poem, song, board game, computer project, skit, creative dance, habitat diorama.....

REALLY??

Does she realize we are in the 2nd!!!!!! grade.

This was accompanied with a list of vocabulary words, that had to be used or drawn....

BLAH BLAH BLAH..

Well Jacob literaly told me the whole life cycle of a painted lady butterfly, defined all the stages, and his version of events.

Well this is what we came up with. Not too bad if you ask me..

Thanks to Bradon and Adam for all the Technical skill. It was amazing!!

I think you will all be excited to know. "We" got an A!!!
