someday....

Someday I will get more pictures posted. Life gets so busy. To keep you updated, I am now in the Relief Society presidency. That keeps me pretty busy. Brad got laid off his job in February (he'd been there for 4 years). He is now driving truck and we never know when he will be home. I'm just thankful he is working and we can pay the bills. Bethany is now mostly potty trained at 2 1/2 yrs old.
We are happy for Spring to be here...now if we can get Spring weather. I am still at the same job and love it!
My computer at home is now fixed so I'll try to updated pictures and such.
Thanks for hanging in there :-)

Okay, so my computer at home is slowly dying. Someday I might get it fixed. Meanwhile, I've got to get on Brad's laptop and do some serious updating. So hang in there!!

an update

I've had fun with internet at my house so I'm finally upgrading. So hopefully in the next few days there will be a lot more pictures and this should be updated more often.
Meanwhile, Jene' has turned 6 and so has Bo. Bradon is now 9. Barratt is now 17!!! Brad is now 41... hee hee.
All of these birthdays happened between Dec 28 and Jan 8!
We've had a very busy December between work and Christmas. Our Christmas was very nice. Santa brought the family a Wii and now we can't get Brad off the Rock Band guitar. He also brought us a cool basketball hoop stand. Now that the snow has melted we have finally been able to put that up.
Pictures should follow this fairly soon!

October 2008

Finally an update. We have been so busy with work and having fun. The end of summer we were able to acquire a boat. Brad's dad had one that had just been sitting so we were able to take it and fix it up a little. It is just perfect for our family.

In October we were able to go to Park City and have a lot of fun.

Here is a picture of Beth on Grandma Barson's lap at the condo we stayed in.

Jake

Everyone always asks me how Jake is doing. Well here he is. 6 foot something and 220 lbs. He lives in Vernal and is working for a welding company. He just turned 20 this month. So my kids all range from 2 years old to 20. WOW! This is Harley and Jake.


Here is Jake with his sisters.

Here is Beth, Me, Harley, Jake, Darci and Jene'. We put the camera on a timer so we couldn't quite get Beth to look at the camera.

Beth's Birthday

Funny thing...we didn't have any candles. So my boy scout...(Brad)...made some from q-tips and rubbing alcohol. It actually worked quite well.

Bethany loved opening her presents.

Sept 11

It has been a very busy summer and I've been terrible posting pictures. But I had to put a remark about today and what a special day it is, in more ways than one.
Seven years ago today we had a terrorist act that impacted our country more than any other thing in quite a few years. We were violated on our own soil. I remember standing there in shock, wondering if that was the end of the world. I remember the days after mourning for the loss of thousands and for the loss of our security. For several days no planes flew in the air. The skys were silent. To me that was the weirdest thing. For the longest time and even now, I will always look up when I see a plane flying and I'm thankful. Thankful for our freedom.

Two years ago today we welcomed Bethany Olivia Barson into the world. I can't believe my baby is two years old. She is starting to talk and has such a fun personality. She loves all her brothers and sisters and loves when the Lehi bunch come to visit. She is so funny, she almost won't go to bed until all the other kids are in bed. I think she is afraid she'll miss something. She misses her daddy when he's at work. She loves to talk to him on the phone. I think she just likes hearing his voice. He called her this morning and she just smiled. It was so cute! She'll kiss the phone to give him kisses.

So today is a special day. Let's remember our freedom we have and be thankful for it! And we wish Beth a very Happy Birthday.
pictures will be coming soon :-)
