Carlie is 5 (HOLY COW)

Well It is that time of year again Carlie is 5 and I just can't get over it!! She has just gotten old to fast for me and she need to STOP!!!!! She did have to go to school that day but she got to take cupcakes for her class mats and she said they like them other then that we just stayed home and got things ready for her party that night like for me I mad her cake and her aunt Sara came down to watch Sister wives and she ended up helping with all the kids I had running around my house (so thanks A LOT Sara you don't know how much help you where that day). I did get her cake done and I love it

here is her cake

she always has fun opening her gifts

and then she got to open the Diamond

She didn't know what it was at first then we got it out of the box and she was just as happy as can be

She said "I can shoot it up here today". We did her Birthday party up at the archery rang so she could shoot it when she opened it

then she got to shoot it

She was so fun to watch with it

what a big girl

Seth was helping her with shooting it and he said " she just keep saying Awe every time she shoot" that's when he noticed she was getting her arm with it every time she shoot. That is one down side to shooting some times you just learn to more you are so you don't do that. So here is her first battle woad's !!!

Happy Birthday Carlie

your mom and Dad love you SOOOO much and you are the best big sister every! I am sad to see you grow up but happy at the same time Love you always

Curls, Curls, and More Curls

My mom use to do this to my hair when I was a little girl and I couldn't wait to do it to my little girls but Carlie finally has long hair and I usually give her a bath in the morning and not at night but I thought I would try it to see how it would turn out and she let me do it. she thought it was fun having all the rags in her hair!

Here is the back

And look at all the curls

And more curls I just loved it and I'm thinking I'm going to have to do it more often

Carlie wanted a pic with her little sister before going to school today

I just love them two SO much and they truly love each other

Car Cash

On Saturday the 20Th of November 2010 I was heading up to American Falls to my in-lows to go to supper Saturday with them. It started to snow in Pocatello so I call my mother-in-low to see if it was up there and how bad the roads where. She told me "it wasn't snowing up there" and the snow wasn't sticking here so I headed up. The roads just go worse as I went and I just keep going thinking the blow trucks would be out and I was closer to AF then I was Poky so I just going some more I Finlay got to AF and was getting of the Interstate and as I came up to the stop sing I couldn't get my car to stop. I slide though the stop sing and had a head on with a Semi. I had Kaylee with me and the poor little girl was fast asleep when we hit she just started to scream and all I could say was We Are Alright, We Are Alright!!! I gave her, her sippy and her blanket and she calmed right down. I called my mom to come and get me. Seth, Carlie, My Dad and my Brother Brandon went to Soda to shoot there bows and I didn't want him to have to come from there just to get us so I had my mom come. She had to have my other Brother Adam drive her because she said "she couldn't dive the speed she needed to in the snow and bad roads to get to me, she wanted to go fast and her mind wasn't where it need to be for it." I have been more upset about the car. I just LOVED that car!! And if any one was to ask me about a Honda CRV I would tell them do get one they are the best cars on earth. I miss that car for the fact it save our lives and How could you throw something away the saved you. I know the Lord was on my side that day too. I had said a little prayer before we left Poky asking for no harm to come over us and I have to say it worked we walked a way with just some bumps and broses, but We Walked Away and that is all the matter to me!!!!

This is the Semi I hit and I did do some damaged to it. The truck diver was the best guy every to me he was so nice to us and help me get out of my car and put Kaylee and I in his truck so we could stay warm. his truck was still running mine was not. He also gave me a bottle of water and just keep asking if we were really OK. I couldn't have asked to hit anyone better then the guy I did.

Hallween 2010

For Halloween this year Carlie wanted to Mine mouse again and I wanted her to be something different. I love Halloween and want to have fun with my kids with it so I like seeing them be different things and to have fun with them!! So I keep trying to get her to be something else and Seth wanted them to be hunters "because we don't have to buy them anything we all ready have them." And I didn't like that one it looks like we didn't even think about it this year but when we where talking about it to Carlie she told me she wanted to be a Elk so I said that would be fun and sister could be a bear, thinking it would be easy to find one but we could find one we liked for what I wanted. So I talk to my dad and told him what the kids are going to be and that I needed his help trying to get it done. He said "I have this decoy that I made that I don't use because it's to heavy to pack up and down the hills." So he found it and it was what I was looking for so I made the Antlers (but they look like a deer antlers to me) and she was one good looking Elk!!!!

Kaylee just was to cute for words!!! She didn't look like a bear she just looked like she was being malled by one but I still loved it!!

Kaylee is Walking

She's Walking!!!!!

On September 24, 2010 Kaylee took her 1st steps!! It did take a little bit for her to get it but she did!!

I went on a scrapbooking weekend on October 15-16 and right before I went she would take a little more steps then she did the day before. I keep telling my self that she is going to be all over the place when in get home but I have to say she wasn't (Thank you). I wanted to see her get better every day and get to see her really go when she did and I did get to see it and that is one of the best parts of being a MOM!!! I love seeing my kids grow up but at the same time it makes me Cry. You all know it doesn't take much to make me cry but I at lest its a good cry!!!

I tyred to get a pic of her going but as you can see she is just to fast for me and it's not the best pic of her but I love it!!

As you can see she is just all over and hasn't stop. She is just loving that she can go where she want when she wants and that is all she want to do!!! She has always been a HAPPY baby but know that she can walk I think she has a smile on her face a little more I just love it!! She just smiles the hole time She is Walking!!!

Seth and I

So I wanted some Family Pic done with Seth and his HAIR and We didn't get the hole Family so I at lest wanted one of just us with all his HAIR. It was his mom's Birthday and I asked my Sister-in-low to take the pic for us and we went out front of his sister Marcia's house and took it. Seth doesn't like getting his pic don't at all so to have FUN he Grabbed me. He said "if he has to have his pic done he is going to get it done the way he wants them"

so we tryed again and he did it again with the other hand

and this is me getting after him for it. I just wanted one good pic of us. We just don't have very many of just us and I want and need more of them

And finally I got what I wanted and we did get a GOOD one of us and I just love it. He looks so good with his HAIR.

Hunting in September

Sorry this has a lot of pic in but we just have so much fun when we are camping!!!

We always go up to Soda Springs to Hunt Elk. My Family is all up there, my Mom and Dad, Adam and his kids, Brandon and this year he had his girlfriend with him up there, my Grandma and Grandpa Bruderer, and a great aunt and uncle Denny and Julie are all up there. My aunt Donna and uncle Richard come up from Utah too. Thew out the hole month we have lots of family that just come up for the day or some times too. This year Seth's mom and dad came up and stayed the night with us. Our camping spot looks like a little village in the mountains!! My Dad and Grandpa are up there all month. Seth and I for the last two years have been able to stay a hole week up there and just love it. I went up 2 days after Seth and the girls did. I went to Sun Vally and when I got to camp this is what I saw on Carlie! Her First Black Eye and I just had to take a pic of it!!

My uncle Denny Shot a dear one night and couldn't find it so the next morning we went up to look for it some more. The girls and I stayed in the car, and Carlie had to go to the bathroom so we when back to camp to go and get some stuff for them to play with and I had 2 bucks run across the road and this is the deer that stayed for me to get a pic. (I don't like it when I am driving and the animals are in the road)

This is my Grandpa washing his hunting close

and him ringing them out

This is my Uncle Denny having fun hunting and my mom in the back ground

We took up some toys for Kaylee so she could have something to do for the hole month and had her out where everyone was and she fell asleep next to the camp fire. She sleep for about a hour or so.

Seth's dad came up for a few days and took Carlie for a walk and the saw a elk in the little creek and Carlie was so excited to see it.

We got up one morning and went for a rid and the fog was setting in and it just looked so cool in the trees.

We Saw this moose in the fog too!! He was so big and it was so cool to see him like that!!

We went in to Star Vally for a day because it rained for 2 day's and was sick of being in the trailers. and we where just driving around and found this little elk farm and Carlie just happened to have her bow in Seth's truck and her Camo on so I had to get a pic of her with it. She got closer then her dad did all year
