Krystals new haircut

Krystal got her haircut today! She wanted to try something new so we had it cut in a A-line cut. The first picture shows more of the shape. I just hope she can figure out how to style it now. Her hair is so thick, at least it won't be so heavy. This is her birthday haircut.

also on her way home from Snow, her ride rear ended another car. The car was totalled but the girls were fine. Krystal just bruised her left eye and her nose.

Kyle "Smiley" Cazier

This was Kyles last season of Little League Football. He played Wide Reciever the last two years and did very well. I also watched him in practice when he was on defense and he is one mean tackler. He can really take someone out when he wants to. Anyway they had a good season even if they did not make the tournament. They had 4 wins and 3 losses. They did not make the tournament by one win so I consider that a very good season. I hope Kyle continues to like football and trys out for 9th grade next year and shows the coaches just what he can do. There moto this year was Start Fast, Sustain and Finish Strong. I think they still finished Strong. Way to go Smiley.

Kyle got this nickname his first year in Football. When they were taking pictures the boys were suppose to look mean and Kyle went up there with a big smile on his face. so the Coaches nicknamed him smiley. Since then all of his friends in school has learned of this nickname and whenever they see him you can hear them say Hi Smiley.

Halloween Pumpkins

After we dug carrots, we came home and Kim was in the mood to paint, so the kids made these painted Halloween cans. They were fun and easy for the kids to do. Krystal did three for her roommates. I hope they liked them. We also filled them with treats.

Grandpa's carrots

Last week end we went to grandpa's house and bottled some apples and dug some carrots! I thought I should take a picture of these huge carrots! Have you seen such big carrots? They must be fed with grandpa's tender loving care. That must be the trick!

Krystal goes to College

Krystal went to Snow College on Saturday!! So far so good! She has lasted FIVE days. This is hard being a parent of a college student. Please take me back to potty training, it is easier.

Kyle, Kim and Krystal in front of the Manti Temple. It is SO BEAUTIFUL there.

Look who is the tallest of my three children!!! Kyle is growing way to fast!! He is always hungry!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Here is a picture of my craft I made in Relief Society. It is so easy and inexpensive!!

They are so fast and easy to make and a cute decoration for the holidays. So I just wanted to wish everyone a happy 4th of July and Remember what it is really all about. I hope we can make it up to Paris for our annual tradition. They have the BEST little patriotic program ever! Oh and the parade afterwards is always a hit too with lots of candy.

Krystal and Kim went to Laurel Training Camp last week. Here is a picture of their class decorating a cake. They got an award, "To attack nesting rodents" . I think it looks like they had a great time, even if it rained during most of it. They did say it was really spiritual. They talked about Temples, Seminary, and virtue. Krystal actually was on the planning committee and had some good experiences. The theme song was I will not be still. The camp motto was Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold.

Krystal's Graduation

Here is our graduate of 2009. Yeah! We are proud parents. Her class had 312 that graduated and 9 valedictorians. We were in the spectrum at USU, so cool. We were up there on such a beautiful campus and her crazy friends wanted to take pictures at Willow park. So sorry the last one is dark but the girls got lost in Logan and couldn't find willow park. Yes they did just graduate but now they got to learn to find their way around not only town but the world. This will be a new adventure for them. The picture of the mountain is The BR that some Seniors went and changed it to 09 and lit it up last night.

Seminary Graduation

Tonight was Krystal's seminary graduation!!
We just want to say how proud we are of her. She has been such an example to us at reading her scriptures. She actually just finished memorizing the last scripture mastery today. I hope she will continue to read her scriptures everyday.
Our Stake president gave the graduates four words of advice. They are,
"Come to the Temple".
Brother Parkinson, told them to always be available to hear and feel the spirit always.
It was our first seminary graduation and it was awesome!

OUR SPRING BREAK PROJECT

I am not a very good at sewing, but I have been trying to learn how to make a quilt. I should have paid more attention to my mom. I have realized how much work goes into a quilt and I am more appreciative of the quilts I have and will cherish them forever.

The first quilt is our Spring Break project! We went to Morgan and Karen helped us and we learned how to machine quilt. We got the whole thing quilted in one day. It was actually a lot of fun. Krystal did most of it. Kim and kyle tried it for a minute or two. Thanks to Karen, we had a lot of fun and krystal will have a nice quilt to take to college in the fall.

The second quilt is one that Dad quilted last winter 2008. I wanted to try to learn to bind it so I had a friend help me. Hand stitching took me forever. It really makes a nice quilt for our bed. I will never take any quilt for granted and I will always appreciate the time, effort and LOVE that goes into each one.

BEAR RIVER STATE CHAMPIONS

Bear River beat Logan last night to be the new state champions in basketball. It was a close game and in the beginning it looked like it could go either way but in the last 2 minutes of the game Bear River just took control and came out with the win. We are proud of our Bears. And this is another thing for Krystal to be able to remember that happened her senior year. It is sad that we only made it to one game and that was when they played Morgan and we sat on the Morgan side with Daron and Karen.

I finally finished this afaghan. It took all winter long but I finally completed it. This is called "Broomstick Afaghan" . It is actually the only afaghan I have ever made without having my mother finish it for me.

Tag Photo

I am not very good at this but I guess this is the 4th picture of the 4th folder. This is Kyle last year 2008 at the 6th grade worlds fair. It is a big thing the school does. Kyle did his report on Peru since his coisen Holden was there on a mission. That is where he got his cute hat. We also borrowed some things from Grandpa that he got from Brian Haddock when he went on his mission. It is a lot of funfor the kids and they learn a lot about the country. The other kid in the photo is kyle's friend, Baylor He is in our ward.

This picture was actually taken last June when we went to Idaho Falls for Martin's brothers sealing. I just thought it was cool how it looks like christ is patting them on the back. It's like he is saying "I am so proud of you"
I was thinking that I am so proud of my children also. They are good children and always try to choose the right. Krystal recieved her young womanhood recognition in July of 2007, Kim recieved hers in Nov 2008, and I received mine as a leader in sept 2008. Kyle has really grown this last year also as a deacon and accomplishing many merit badges. So for the year 2009 I have to say I am a proud mama of my children. I just hope and pray they will continue to be Good.
