It made our Easter happier to have Bailey and Mike and Kooper here for a visit!

Rochelle filled all the eggs!!! There were LOTS! Thanks Ro!

It was a wonderful day with the Family!

Spring Break

It has been in the 40's and 50's this week so I didn't want to go out and do yard work. To cold. This is the week that I get a big jump on the yard work. Not this year. Mom couldn't stand to see me just sit around and do nothing and resting. So I painted the Living room, stairs, hall up stairs and the loft. It is a nice goldish brown color. I like it and mom loves it.

Alexis spent the week with us, so she help me paint. She was great help.

The loft has two accent walls that are a couple shades darker. You might also notice that grandpa Schultz's old entertainment center is gone and a new clock on the wall.

Grandma had me cut and rebuild the entertainment center to make much smaller and we bought a 26 inch flat screen. The old TV died. 26 inch seems to be just right because we are so close in the loft. Mom is happy and now is planning on what color I'm to paint the family room, kitchen, and our bedroom. I think there will alot more bad weather days ahead for me.

If you look real close there is something missing in this picture.

It GONE. I posted it on Craig's List Friday morning by noon I had a man and wife looking at. I could tell, he was sold and in love with it. He wanted Full Throttle to look at it. So Saturday morning I drove it over to Full Throttle the two machanics came out to look at it. I asked if they would like to start it up and they said no they didn't need to listen to it. They knew it was a good bike and engine. With the money and some in saving mom and I will be out of debt except for the house. IT IS THE GREATEST FEELING. It is questionable whether I will be able to coach in the future and we not sure with the economy what mom's day care will be like in the future. So we will be prepared.

Eight is enough?

Eight of the grandchildren were here Friday night! we were missing a few to have all twelve. I'm not sure Grandma's house can hold all of them!
Yes, this is Kara in her tutu showing her WHOLE smile:)

Gavin and Tristin love having all the excitement! It does make it hard to get their dinner down them.

Cole would turn and look at me and by the time the camera took the pic he was turned back around! So here is a handsome back side pic of him.

Tre' sporting his newly pierced ears, doo rag, and mustache. He looks tough but he's a lamb under it all. Kendall loves it when her boys are happy! Why is the computer such a draw for the older grandchildren?

Three Day Weekend!

Jillian and Cody's car made it here and Back! We were so glad to have them here for the week end. They stayed at the Robles. Jillian isn't showing yet. They still look in love:)

Valentine's day we went over to the Robertson's for a homemade dinner compliments of Dave. It was very delish!! I look forward to it every year. I think this was the 4th year he invited us. They have the Ackerman's too and we always enjoy their company.

Dad feels a little better today. He has a wrestling match near Mattawa tonight so he will home late.

Rochelle has herceptin today so Carter and Kami are here for the afternoon. I'm glad to have them over once in a while. My daycare kids get really excited to see them.

I made 25 containers of Strawberry freezer jam last night. We were out of it so I was happy to see one of the grocery stores have Strawberries 2/$3! It really isn't cheaper but we are spoiled and only like freezer jam. I bought some store jam and we couldn't stand it. Ick!

Got to go take care of the boys. Someone smells!

Bored and Sick

I had to put a picture in, so I put mom in because she so daren beautiful. I am coughing my head off, so mom told me to stay home from church today. I am in the middle of wrestling. I have some pretty good boys this year, but two are injuried, six were out because of grades and two have just become eligible with enough practices. Two of them are behavior problems. Major behavior problems. My assistant coach has NEVER wrestled before. Two more practices and three more matches.
I am looking forward to spring and summer. To get out of the house and out in the yard. I haven't been walking much the past 5 or 6 months. It shows around my stomach. I am still the same weight but an inch or two bigger. I have noticed a lot more aches and pains. My hip is aching, my neck, were I sit is hurting. With all that LIFE is still good. I am in Love with my wife, I love my family, Spring is just around the corner and I can go take a nap.

Christmas tree 2008

Chauntel wanted to see a picture of the tree Kendall decorated. It was beautiful! Thanks Kendall.

Robles College Farewell

Watching "Stuart Little"

Full from Roast Beef dinner and ready for snuggles

The kids made the dessert. Mint Choc pretzels:) Gone in 60 seconds!

Cute Cody who can't hide from the camera!

Yep, Dad is taking a post dinner nap!

Tristin and Jillian getting cosy! We sure will miss Jillian and Cody when they go to Rexburg this week. They tried to leave today but Cabbage Hill was closed so better luck tomorrow. Jillian is worried because school begins Wed. I won't get to watch her baby grow to full term! Why do my daughters have to live so far away with my grandchildren?

We woke up to 3 more inches of snow today. I am tired of the mess. Glad I don't live in Rexburg. I am ready for Spring!!!

Christmas with the Schultz"s

The Boys love thier stuffed toy Horse and Dog! I don't remember you girls liking stuffed animals

I'm not sure who enjoyed Christmas morning the most, Kendall or the boys!

I think they knew what was in the round packages as they kept throwing them BEFORE they opened them.
I know you are asking where are the rest of the pictures of the rest of the day when Rochelle and Kims families came. I guess with Dad being sick the job of picture taking fell by the way side. Maybe Jillian and Rochelle got some and will post them.

We missed Bailey and Chauntel's families but the in laws enjoyed them. WE had 16 of the 24 of us.

Full House

We had Kooper here this week. What a cute personality he has. He really loved all the kids that are at our house everyday. He would say "My Friends!" When they would go home he would try to get in the car with them to go home with them. I told him they would be back the next day, besides he had Tristen and Gavin

to play (bully) with. I have never had such an easy kid to put to bed as Kooper! His parents have trained him well. We really enjoyed bonding with him. He's so cute. Glad Bailey and Mike are having another cutie!

I have had some back pain off and on for months. The Dr sent me to a specialist and I had an MRI. Just discs degenerating-normal aging stuff. Need to stretch and exercise more. I am just gald I don't require surgery!! The back pain does seem to be linked to lifting the kids. I'm trying no to do that.

Lake Chelan Vacation

Dad and I went with Wagars to thier condo on Lake Chelan last week end. Since it was Conf week end we didn't miss any responsibilites. We had a great time relaxing, eating and playing. The church is one mile from their condo so we watched conf there. This first picture is at "blueberries" fruit stand and resturant. We had the BEST breakfast there. This was a huge chair at an animal farm we stopped at. Dad's feet were dangling! Made him look like the incredible shrinking man!

Tagged!

This is my 4th file 4th picture from the McGinnis Reunion this summer. What fun we had! I tag Jillian,Kendall, Chauntel and Bailey- It's okay if you've been tagged already!

Misc

Some of the cute pictures on my computer! Bro. Eric Moses is our new Bishop! Clay Dickman is his first counslor as well as our home teacher who is new in the ward, Bro Gurtzman.

Dad is going to sell his motorcycle so he has more money to build a new house. I am the cautious one in the family. What if we don't sell our house and what if the market goes down and we can't sell the new house for retirement? Daycare is a problem if we move into a apt. So it's pretty iffy right now.

I was wondering who's coming for Thanksgiving and Christmas?
