Our own little Lion's Den

So for Family Home Evening we had our lesson about Daniel and the Lions Den.  Then we created our own lion masks.  Brielle refused to be in any pictures, but Madelyn and Kody proudly modeled their masks for me.  I am so blessed to have these little spirits in my home!  I love them all so much.  Cute little lion faces.  Wish you could hear them Roar!

POST . . . again

So this fall Tyler has been sent to Boise to Peace Officer Standards and Training again.  This time for Detention Officer certification.  He travels back and forth on weekends.  So this is him and Officer Richey heading to Boise to start their training.  We will miss you so much!  Only 6 short weeks and you will be back with us.

Happy Birthday Tyler!

Happy Birthday Tyler!  You are an amazing father, husband, and everything in between.  You light up our lives and we couldn't be more proud of you!  You are always a pillar of strength, and protection to us.  I hope that you know how much we love and care about you.  Happy Birthday babe!

Boys will be boys

This little guy loves to climb, make messes and bring a smile to all who are watching.  Love him to death!

Memory Lane

This is a picture of a house that holds my heart and precious memories.  This is my grandmother Ila Mae Spencer Fowler's house.  This is the house that my mother lived in.  This is the house where I spent mornings watching The Price is Right with my grandfather Milan.  This is the house where I spent countless nights and breakfast in beds with my sweet grandmother.  I even lived here with my family of seven when we were building our home.  It is a beautiful happy place.  It does not look like this now that my grandmother is gone.  But in my memory, this is exactly how it looked.  

BFF

BEST FRIENDS!  So this summer Madelyn's best friend Lilly Blackburn sent her a Best Friends Forever necklace.  Lilly has one half in Arizona, and Madelyn has the other here in Idaho.  Gosh aren't these girls adorable?

Tonsils out!

So this August, my little Brielle had to get her tonsils and adenoids out.  Poor thing was so scared to go in, but acted so brave.  She had a hard time for a few days after, she started to hemorrhage one night when her scabs came off.  But we got the blood under control and she healed up just fine.  I always hate to see my baby in pain, but I'm glad that her breathing will be better.
