THE COAL MINE!!

Tuck's Papa works at the P & M Coal Mine in Kemmerer, Wyoming. Tanner and Tuck were in heaven going over to work with Papa for a few hours as they toured around.

Tuck loves his Papa so much and really looks up to him. When he got home he said, "mom, when I get big can I work at the mine with Papa?"

The big trucks were mesmerizing to Tuck and he was so excited that he got to go on one. I thought that it was so awesome of Tanner to take Tuck over to the mine to have a Papa work day. These experiences are priceless!!

THANKS FOR THE TOUR PAPA!!

#3....HAPPY TIMES!!

TUCK AND SADIE ARE VERY EXCITED AND HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT THEY WILL HAVE A BIRTH OF A NEW SIBLING AROUND THE 20TH OF APRIL!!

We are so excited and blessed at this time in our lives to be able to have another baby...As many of you know, the past few years have been somewhat difficult for us and we have been told many times that we would not, or should not, have more children. Through doctors, alternative medicine, prayers, and lots of faith we are almost 13 weeks pregnant and completely overjoyed!! The kids prayed for months that Heavenly Father would put a baby in mom's belly and so the second we found out that there was a baby we had to tell the kids:) So this news is old stuff for many of you since my kids and husband announced it at church, school, and anytime they talked to anyone when I was only 5 weeks....But what can I say, we are EXCITED!!

MY BABY IS 4!!

Sadie,

Happy Birthday pretty girl, Momma loves you so much!! I am so glad that you are feeling so much better and that you are happy. I am blessed to be your mom and to go through this mortal existence with you. I hope that you had a fantastic birthday!

Love,

Momma

Sis' birthday was on October 2nd. One of the few things that Sadie wanted for her birthday was a pinata. She only wanted chocolates and carmels to fill the pinata, "with no nuts". It was so cute because she didn't know about the blindfold part of it and when I put it on her she said, "mom, I can't see and its really dark in here."

Sadie doesn't really care for cake so she wanted chocolate ice cream with chocolate syrup and carmel syrup....so that's what she got!

The bike was a huge hit!! She has been wanting a BIG GIRL bike for a while and she was so thrilled that it is pink and purple!!

It is so great to have such wonderful aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins that all came to her party. She loved all the gifts and loves you all, Thank You!!

She loves her brother and loved the poly pocket gift that he gave her!

The bumble bee pillow pet was also a huge hit, she named it sun-sun and cannot sleep without it

Pretty as a princess!!

Sissy also got some money, a jacket, play dough-cake making set (that her and Tuck played with for hours while I watched conference-thanks Colletts), a cat in the hat game, two princess games (that she cannot get enough of), a pretty pink guitar (that her and Tuck compete with to come up with the best songs), and some candy. She had a really great birthday! I cannot believe that she is FOUR!

CAMPING/FIREWOOD CUTTING

We went up to Dowd Mountain for a couple of days to get some firewood for the station and to enjoy some family time in the wonderful fall weather!
This is our style of camping...we put a mattress in the bed of the truck to sleep and then we put the easy-up over us to keep the sun off us. We filled the horse trailer with wood.

Tuck and Sadie were such big helpers...they sat on the logs to keep them steady, I don't know what Tanner would have done without them:)
