life....

Where to start....

It has been a little bit of a roller coaster ride around here lately.

We have had to re-evaluate;

paths,

life,

options,

right and wrong,

forgiviness,

sadness,

anger,

and many other things.

And have decided on...

 NEW BEGINNINGS!

"Sometimes God will remove something good in your life

to make room for something better.

And sometimes he'll take away better to give you his best."

Tay has had to look at alot of things differently, 

since not making the H.S. softball team.

But...

Now she can focus on;

 drivers ed,

hunter safety class,

focus on school,

{she is carrying a 3.06 cumulative GPA}

maybe a job,

Hobbies left behind,

and a few other things.

but probably the most important and building,

is that Tay and Briar are both going on the Trek this year with the church.

I am so excited for them and think that they will grow so much during this time.

What a rewarding thing to be able to do.

All of these things may have had to be squished somewhere between, or sat a side for awhile.

So...

As heartbreaking as it was for her and us,

we choose to move on.

My Tay is such a STRONG and BEAUTIFUL young lady and I am SOOOO PROUD of the KIND and LOVING person that she is.

I would Love to ............

  

Lunch, Books and Time with my 

FAVORITE little girl.

Doesn't get any better than that.

Wrestling still...

Last weekend Briar headed up to Pocatello for a big wrestling tournament.

He did very well, especially since he was the lightest of the boys in his bracket by a bit.

He ended up taking 5th place.

Woot Woot!!!

Although we weren't able to go with him,  

we got updates from him with details after each of his matches.

And one of the moms snapped a few pics. and sent them through text.

I was so grateful for the pics. I hate missing the kids things.

Soooo here are a few of his matches 

Watch out.....Briar has a pretty mean scissor.

He has brought some boys to tears, and almost had one tap out at region a couple years ago.

He is becoming so much stronger mentally and physically.

I am so proud of the young man he is becoming.

Briar has also been excelling outside of wrestling.

He has just been set apart as the Deacons president at church,

 and...

 is carrying a 3.70 cumulative GPA.

Parties

How do 11 teens entertain themselves?......

Lets see:

they devour pizza and soda,

Watch movies,

BOX,

run through the neighbor hood,

play wii,

help clean up the mess after their other friends sneak attack the house and cars with silly string.

make a Shopko and Wendy's run.

O yeah and t.p.

At least that's what they did a few weeks ago when Briar decided he wanted a few friends over. 

And I did manage to snap a few pics. of the craziness. 

so here we go:

{other than a few headaches, no one was hurt}

 and somewhere during all the craziness

 Cloe and her friend Emily found time to be little girls!

P.S.

never t.p. when people know your having party.

{especially those who were invited and couldn't come} 

Yes.....

they retaliate!!! 

Even in the snow and if it is freezing cold and windy!

just sayin!!

;)

  Good thing we love our kids AND their friends!!
