As he put it in the video, "I'm going to show everyone that I don't stand. I sit". All the while as he flew his electronic helicopter.

Sorry it had been so long! But now that I've figured out how to do this again...brace yourselves. You will be getting "Drapers 2010 in review" in full force.

<br />It has been years and years (2001) since we have taken family pictures. With Bryan leaving for his mission I just HAD to get them done. I am so so grateful we did. I love this picture!

<br />Here are our Christmas cuties this year. Even I look at them and think, "Man they are getting big!" Indeed they are but still I look at each of their little faces and realize how young they still are. How I adore my babies!

<br />Rylan Jake. He of all of my children amazes me at his growth and maturity lately. I can't believe he is 11! Most people don't guess it by looking at him but 11 he is. He has been saying for months already, "Next year I get the Aaronic Priesthood!" (It took some correcting from saying "ironic priesthood but he's got it down now.) Hes become such a "guy" lately. Especially with Bryan being gone he has really stepped up into his role as biggest brother in the house. He is easy to entreat and offers a helping hand every day. I can count on him to pinch in whenever needed which is sometimes a lot of responsibility for a hormonal 11 year old but the perks are all worth it. He is now in his own room, gets to hang out at friend's houses and stays up MUCH later than the rest of the crew. It's been making for some fun "friend time" with the guy. Life is not always easy for anyone but for Rylan it gets especially hard at times and he is learning how to handle it not only like a man but a Christ-like man. We are so very proud of our Rylan Jake. This year he has enjoyed baseball, soccer, reading and excelling in all his scholastic achievements. He has recently picked up archery which he loves and has also given him an awesome social outlet. He's thinking of giving basketball a try next fall. Stay tuned for that one!

<br />Trevan Spencer. Trevan is a big guy in our house too. He turned nine this year and is in the third grade with our beloved Mr. Herzog. He has always been happy just being who he is and always exploring and doing new things. T played soccer and baseball this year as well but is set on trying football next year. He has always been a social bug with the ability to stand out as a leader to his friends. He still enjoys art in all forms and continues to amaze me with what he can create. Trevan has a heart of gold but still takes pranks and silliness to unmatched heights in the Draper house. It keeps us all laughing and on our toes! We've always said what an incredibly balanced kid T is. Athletic and artsy. Jokester and nurturer. Defender and protector of all things he cares about while unwavering from his knowledge of right and wrong. He and his Daddy are good little buddies. I tell Spencer he can stake claim as one of their favorites. ;)

<br />Brayden William. Our BW Brady boy. Brayden brings daily smiles and laughter into our house and we adore him for it! He is in the second grade with an awesome teacher that looped with his class from first grade. It's been a God send for us as they have an awesome relationship and Brayden can be who he is and respected and loved for it. He's such an incredibly gifted child who can think and see things logically beyond his years. Mrs. Wahlstrom fosters that in him and helps him continue to find joy in doing so. Brayden loves all things electonic. Computers are definitely at the forefront of his favorite things. If ever something is, let's just say, "different" when I turn on the TV, computer, stereo or even a light switch for that matter, I know Brayden has been close by! He turned eight this month and will be getting baptized on Christmas Eve. It's not a decision he took lightly. He studied, thought and prayed about it for a long time and waited until he got his answer. Every Christmas we talk with our kids about what they can give Jesus for his birthday. Brayden decided he would get baptized to show Jesus how much he loves him. Sounds perfect to me!

<br />Haven Grace. Oh Haven Grace! This little girl came with such fire that I sometimes feared might be the death of me. I was thinking that when she was only two! Now that she is five (almost six as she would have me say. Always wanting to be so grown up!), I readily acknowledge what a precious gift she is in my life. She is learning so many things so quickly and taking things to heart. She wants so much to please the people she loves and atop that list is her Savior. She tries her best every day to be a sweet sweet girl and 99 percent of the time it turns out exactly as that. Very rarely do I have to ask her things twice. She comes looking for ways to help Mommy. She is one of the best cuddlers I've ever known! She has a giggle that would light up anyone's life and a toothless grin that makes me smile. She started kindergarden this year and has made her mark as a friend to all and a peacemaker. She's a socially driven child but as of now she doesn't loose sight of what's important. Let's hope that holds through all of the teen years right? She continues to love singing, dancing, gymnastics and her fire is for cheerleading. The little girls here in Texas start cheering when they are only three. Can you believe that? She has been wanting to cheer for the past three years now but we continue to hold off on that one. I have my hang ups with that social outlet so for now she sticks to the Wii Cheer game! Seems to be keeping her happy for now! Happy. That's just a good word for Haven. She is a happy girl with all the smiles and loud laughs to prove it!

<br />Payten Ella. Baby Ellie. We all know she is four and a half but..... She's the baby! She's a petite little girl who still fits "right there". You know what I mean? Oh! Her little face with the perfect sprinkle of freckles and sweet smile that melts our hearts! And some days that is a really good thing cause man! Four is hard! Too old to get away with "She's just a baby. She's still learning." But too young to think she should just understand it all and bend to our every whim. The days of complacent and easy to please Ella are gone. She has her own opinions about what to wear, where to sit, when and what to eat, what towel to use, who gets the cuddles, and insists that all things must taste like chocolate and be PURPLE! It's a good thing she looks good in purple! Payten started an all day pre-k program this year that took her a while to get used to but is now doing excellently. She loves her little friends and her teacher is also amazing! All 5 of the Draper kids have had Mrs. Salazar and we love her as much as she loves us! Like her big sister, Payten loves to sing, dance and do gymnastics but Ellie also has a little rougher tumbly side to her than Haven does. It makes for some fun Daddy-Daughter time. Who by the way is wrapped around that little girls finger!
<br />But then again her older brothers and I aren't far behind him!

<br />And this is who he is spending it with. (Elder Burton.) We are so very proud of our missionary man and are all growing and loving our Heavenly Father more because of Bryan's service. Every week we wait and wait on our letter and when it comes we all get together and just soak in every word. We love hearing about his work and all that he is doing and learning as well. We miss him TERRIBLY but wouldn't have it any other way!

<br />I can't stop thinking about what his mission means for the future. His future and the future of so many others. I am so thankful for Bryan's example of selfless sacrifice and love. With one foot in front of the other we each walk by faith knowing that he is in the Lord's hands. This year for Christmas, and I'll thankfully do it again next year too, I gave Jesus my B.

<br />So even though he is far away and all of Bryan's smiles are being gifted to others, in so many ways he is right here with us too. We love him so much!

<br />So as this Christmas week goes on I hope we can all remember to love and serve our Savior Jesus Christ. To love and serve those we are blessed to call family and friends. And to love all of God's children a little more while we are at it. We truly love all of you beyond words! Merry Christmas!

Which means it was even more heaven! We DVRd conference and headed out. The house is right off the river and there are gorgeous trees and dirt paths everywhere. The kids could roam and just freely play. There weren't even any stickers in the grass so we could go shoeless. HEAVEN!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCP6Wt1YRSo-zmJxSMzCzvrW0H-cKyqKvcTeGXSoUrWXinYVyYridKI2O7yamKSThccXaDVyFOGejLNwIwfWsO3DFmc9_fCBC4eCP7ZBoFf187nsU-3dDicmTaWI_1LLryluUePEFTyemM/s1600/IMG_0082.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCP6Wt1YRSo-zmJxSMzCzvrW0H-cKyqKvcTeGXSoUrWXinYVyYridKI2O7yamKSThccXaDVyFOGejLNwIwfWsO3DFmc9_fCBC4eCP7ZBoFf187nsU-3dDicmTaWI_1LLryluUePEFTyemM/s400/IMG_0082.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458248925670648818" /></a><br />Payten loved playing ALL DAY with her best friend Ayden.

Speak no evil. See no evil." They are so cute together.<br /><br /> <br />I would definately say the river was the favorite part. The boys ventured to the rope swing which by the end the three older boys had the hang of. Even Haven was brave enough to monkey onto Bryan's back and go for a ride! Of course my camera battery died by that point but we will absolutely be going back soon and I will be sure to snap some good pics next then.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEievubsFNRNeoQ_CgGvBLnOhtGez4nRF23tBJVazIo3zhCmmm_UUiqyBpgNcvcWZwjV8dWLUQyIUKbCXWYZvc3XAfYPo5HeT7BexbG39WgzGYEUW450JiEPnBCMT8mFaT9ROjx3iBC5spNA/s1600/IMG_0020.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 179px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEievubsFNRNeoQ_CgGvBLnOhtGez4nRF23tBJVazIo3zhCmmm_UUiqyBpgNcvcWZwjV8dWLUQyIUKbCXWYZvc3XAfYPo5HeT7BexbG39WgzGYEUW450JiEPnBCMT8mFaT9ROjx3iBC5spNA/s320/IMG_0020.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458215933738822226" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifIRxldO2y9mvrq0mvIPFYlNTNLk24HQcg9tb5EnLHi-0YtNvtWijPTkMujDAH2pzJGKcoK8Ndvaq0hoew2DYaDGoyTXhel6yonywmmVtC6-gTveH9OCG5mZSJ0gdlzMw59HEU3ZxvQ0yN/s1600/IMG_0025.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifIRxldO2y9mvrq0mvIPFYlNTNLk24HQcg9tb5EnLHi-0YtNvtWijPTkMujDAH2pzJGKcoK8Ndvaq0hoew2DYaDGoyTXhel6yonywmmVtC6-gTveH9OCG5mZSJ0gdlzMw59HEU3ZxvQ0yN/s320/IMG_0025.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458215927317298738" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1qoaNkQOCy_jSrBEUL2Xwl1agzWMfEwt9WoiN44LBsEsEwZbjbhfDHsyiXiLPs-O1LJpVB9h2h70dUhCEUT2I4LFNYJk-eKg3_eZNOJL3OGkRh_8zzZqYM-DKjyOYNMWlMhr_hwPsPF03/s1600/IMG_0021.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1qoaNkQOCy_jSrBEUL2Xwl1agzWMfEwt9WoiN44LBsEsEwZbjbhfDHsyiXiLPs-O1LJpVB9h2h70dUhCEUT2I4LFNYJk-eKg3_eZNOJL3OGkRh_8zzZqYM-DKjyOYNMWlMhr_hwPsPF03/s400/IMG_0021.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458221091411182530" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbtZb6v-KjIZEYqa9jLVcyFVnVkiD-6ZJoJwhc5dqPsByTVx-r9n5aXPuKq47g4dOpbcWcjXH8Hw6ceopMlyc6VLnOfNeUdNtt-vYtmjFzH-2UMsbETWeEa1W7Ip8hDVusuoemxF-_QuVz/s1600/IMG_0019.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbtZb6v-KjIZEYqa9jLVcyFVnVkiD-6ZJoJwhc5dqPsByTVx-r9n5aXPuKq47g4dOpbcWcjXH8Hw6ceopMlyc6VLnOfNeUdNtt-vYtmjFzH-2UMsbETWeEa1W7Ip8hDVusuoemxF-_QuVz/s400/IMG_0019.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458221076652576466" /></a><br />There was this spot where some little rapids went down a ways. Rylan and Treven had been doing them and Rylan convnced Bryan to give them a go. It was sweet to see Rylan helping Bryan find his footing. They "swam" back up on their bellies and were both sore the next day! <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIu35bZZjtuD9SaqhX3S8FdKcUnUvwU_f-8e6a8h-irIFarU_CYrYEQdAJFKbTFXnFkrjfyCa6rIe2KsmBRqDqfi8FtUgB2_q3EDGOOB1Z_lXowBCwodJRx9GIMbHtPKcMtGfGE-sNX_UM/s1600/IMG_0016.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIu35bZZjtuD9SaqhX3S8FdKcUnUvwU_f-8e6a8h-irIFarU_CYrYEQdAJFKbTFXnFkrjfyCa6rIe2KsmBRqDqfi8FtUgB2_q3EDGOOB1Z_lXowBCwodJRx9GIMbHtPKcMtGfGE-sNX_UM/s400/IMG_0016.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458223529024486994" /></a><br /><br />Brayden felt total freedom. He loves the outdoors. It's really the only place he handles having no stucture well. It is beyond joyful to see him just play and be at peace with everything and everyone around him.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLNwqp66MOMOqinWE6vkF4ev1YV720YwFCYHGDiec3amnr-uRPp-1o0ABN2sda2OrNewVr3u8SioWzcWn30UpWzlB3EJ_QhAKZjHmR5R0IYpj1qCXjOONSQKfjoz45gPvxQdEpUYxvZv1f/s1600/IMG_0018.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLNwqp66MOMOqinWE6vkF4ev1YV720YwFCYHGDiec3amnr-uRPp-1o0ABN2sda2OrNewVr3u8SioWzcWn30UpWzlB3EJ_QhAKZjHmR5R0IYpj1qCXjOONSQKfjoz45gPvxQdEpUYxvZv1f/s400/IMG_0018.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458224379399691874" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx34jAJQd9cYQawTywc2KU20AXffJnRkNO4868xooye1vNKKRLE-ALZqZ3PIPMgtQWRYFt6FE88aiv_9JzRZe0sIAYHhjDPdGardeZPj-sWmW8Czl2vk1yl2JkKZauXgBmq_Ktn-T3Q8Op/s1600/IMG_0024.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx34jAJQd9cYQawTywc2KU20AXffJnRkNO4868xooye1vNKKRLE-ALZqZ3PIPMgtQWRYFt6FE88aiv_9JzRZe0sIAYHhjDPdGardeZPj-sWmW8Czl2vk1yl2JkKZauXgBmq_Ktn-T3Q8Op/s400/IMG_0024.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458227660181285074" /></a><br />And then there was Trevan. He had more fun just chillin' with me. His fav was the rope swing.<br /><br /><br />Each of the boys took turns overcoming their fears and jumping off the cliffs. Rylan and Trevan did it early and had no probem with merely jumping but Little B Dub (a nickname the brothers gave him short for B.W.) was very scared but mustered up the courage and got the job done! <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnPq3TRbdpvpeE9DkCDbd6NzI1WKeH-dbniK4YOPpAR4WXWJJXYIS4YJf7sD4sFMxpfDjOrhp2CzFOhq8DSvFFVV6j2s5vG_QNQNsg-HES6lXbAy7nDrT8RgekfIVoN2F00fc0aGItqS4L/s1600/IMG_0104.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnPq3TRbdpvpeE9DkCDbd6NzI1WKeH-dbniK4YOPpAR4WXWJJXYIS4YJf7sD4sFMxpfDjOrhp2CzFOhq8DSvFFVV6j2s5vG_QNQNsg-HES6lXbAy7nDrT8RgekfIVoN2F00fc0aGItqS4L/s400/IMG_0104.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458231904430568274" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiiB83v24CJ0JYrYs2iTzH5ZCWI3kGaRG5hV1Vzp0Gi7Uzoft8EfqMK4phFhNFIswhH4t66sHoDaNS2bWWr06-xul-bMrxwbuyVKifZBlw-E5GqudCCBTG3DIltFAAF2wo_BcVvZho5rls/s1600/IMG_0101.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiiB83v24CJ0JYrYs2iTzH5ZCWI3kGaRG5hV1Vzp0Gi7Uzoft8EfqMK4phFhNFIswhH4t66sHoDaNS2bWWr06-xul-bMrxwbuyVKifZBlw-E5GqudCCBTG3DIltFAAF2wo_BcVvZho5rls/s400/IMG_0101.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458231896357636882" /></a><br />And once was enough!

He kept his end of the deal. He did try. He side planked it into the water making for one of those moments where you try not to laugh because you know it hurt but just can't help it. But he did try.

There is just something about it. Maybe it's their angel faces. Maybe it's the quiet moment I have to reflect on how I adore each of them. Maybe (probably) it's knowing I can pretty much clock out for the night and not have to answer any more questions or mediate any more "disagreements".

As of Friday we had yet to put up our tree. The only decorations we had showing we had any Christmas spirit at all were the cute things the kids had brought home from school or the coloring pages that Ella has doodled. Last week when I was out shopping during the school day we saw a special someone and it kicked me more into gear. And the girls too!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinVCBASfwlUrBi55NO19UXvTbpgkpynEyVuWpsBbzk-plnSqki-V68gEXmFc3RWFr8fh0Jgvsw3SSkdc5idS8eSIvr4TaKEefvCSoBkoGT-A8Lsuj9oZi8tiSXY7IMrkeU0rEDjuLBDmKm/s1600-h/IMG_8613.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinVCBASfwlUrBi55NO19UXvTbpgkpynEyVuWpsBbzk-plnSqki-V68gEXmFc3RWFr8fh0Jgvsw3SSkdc5idS8eSIvr4TaKEefvCSoBkoGT-A8Lsuj9oZi8tiSXY7IMrkeU0rEDjuLBDmKm/s400/IMG_8613.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418182626513811106" /></a><br />Our friendly Haven had no problem at all cuddling up to the big guy.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRRWXU87F9pdow9T50hNUCqjiuN7Dg9NQSM-Hzkcp7CiK8PL23cqofqPzdnre0exmBUsJLiJzOQw9RyXiXaII4gZ6Bi61Ed7uWcb1jVwbmhkH1_G6-meoylC6uaoclSItKxokZiBHGhbQA/s1600-h/IMG_8615.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRRWXU87F9pdow9T50hNUCqjiuN7Dg9NQSM-Hzkcp7CiK8PL23cqofqPzdnre0exmBUsJLiJzOQw9RyXiXaII4gZ6Bi61Ed7uWcb1jVwbmhkH1_G6-meoylC6uaoclSItKxokZiBHGhbQA/s400/IMG_8615.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418182635579741906" /></a><br />Or letting him know her specifics.

We're so very thankful for that.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZHO8TpXRsxkIFoalzIsEua21-z74NyG4HMLznBTbAnqAaMOYqxjHzqNr-Kk0oIYwmaAvHvHCTPao2ftOjDmlw5X5NwNmgRSUSARcTwjzQqbW0TW4WDUfNt-uOBtDzkzgxIbetWOGUUWs-/s1600-h/IMG_8665.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZHO8TpXRsxkIFoalzIsEua21-z74NyG4HMLznBTbAnqAaMOYqxjHzqNr-Kk0oIYwmaAvHvHCTPao2ftOjDmlw5X5NwNmgRSUSARcTwjzQqbW0TW4WDUfNt-uOBtDzkzgxIbetWOGUUWs-/s400/IMG_8665.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418206086857397474" /></a><br />Big boy Brayden turned seven this year and already can't wait to turn eight.

EMBARRASSING. I swear it is against the rules and I am committing some major crime but here goes. <br /> I'm going to be honest and say that it has been a very trying couple of months. Personal struggles meant to strengthen me seem to... not. Family pains near and far are to this very moment causing me to shed too many tears. I miss you all so very very much. Even little ones who I never get to see or got to see. I miss. I miss. I miss. But one thing rings loud and clear over and over again. I love . I love . I love. So very very very much.<br /> I wish far away wasn't sooo far away and that "in the next couple of months", much less the eternities, didn't take so long to get here. I love you all. A lot.kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00712116890464850039noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470114182721654956.post-15320877892289568062009-11-13T10:43:00.002-06:002009-11-13T10:50:44.309-06:00We're Alive!So I figure everyone has figured me for dead but I'm here to say that I AM ALIVE! WE ALL ARE! My card reader in the printer is not working so I can't upload any pictures. So I just figured that meant that I couldn't blog. But my dear oldest sister let me know this morning that just because I can't upload any pictures doesn't mean I can't leaver a note telling everyone that we are here and doing well. Very well. Actually. Many great and happy things have been going on which I will blog about soon because my husband has promised to fix my card reader situation this week end. I'm sure he will keep this promise do or die because it was made to my second oldest sister who is about a month away from delivering her seventh child and advised him that he did not want to make a crazy hormonal lady upset! And I don't either! Expect a blog this week end sweet people. Until then know that we are alive and doing very very well. We love you all!kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00712116890464850039noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470114182721654956.post-52163411238836915402009-08-29T15:43:00.016-05:002009-08-29T17:16:17.841-05:00Back To School! (and blogging!)I know you are all falling out of your chairs right now to see that I am acually blogging! It's been made painfully clear that I am not a summer blogger. However, although it's been a ridiculously long time and there have been important posts that I will have to catch up on (i.e. B's prom and graduation, the boys trip to WA with my parents and sister, our Utah trip etc.), I'm starting with where we are at now and will insert older blogs along the way. Deal? So where are we at now?<br /><br /> Well I'm at home with just Little Ella while these little monkeys are filling their brains. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj3QeXZ2e0joitXpSbB77w-bTCpulCWGL6OK8ftfrzJq5VvyYs7__C3xPrxjAaIJEff327gAfe67Uq2OGk32t17-4pEXg2M_tHWPC0j5s3fEpIZYLmprcIljEv22M3Hg2KjnH14pjB6M7N/s1600-h/IMG_8176.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj3QeXZ2e0joitXpSbB77w-bTCpulCWGL6OK8ftfrzJq5VvyYs7__C3xPrxjAaIJEff327gAfe67Uq2OGk32t17-4pEXg2M_tHWPC0j5s3fEpIZYLmprcIljEv22M3Hg2KjnH14pjB6M7N/s400/IMG_8176.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375498830472237106" /></a><br /> <br />The boys started school this past Monday and my kids were very excited to go. We requested their teachers this year and as far as first impressions go, I think we may have hit the jack pot! Rylan is always ready and willing to see what new and exciting things he can learn. Trevan was just as excited as him this year. He more so likes seeing what new kids he's going to meet. He kept telling me that he was "nervous cause he was so excited." Little Brayden on the other hand was so nervous that it made him sick. I felt so badly for him but couldn't do anything other than urge him on and tell him he was going to do great!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV0oFQyxvis3LsREB_Sx4idOUarNMmcDAiZiW8QEHXBnS1xu-oKvhJ7dRvyU1jPCB0QUBBdQxRhGtBHVt5fShMOXx8hpkgM4baOk-mRShJyAJeFNlxQKg5luqG32JzjUSNBNKtxwskMIS9/s1600-h/IMG_8182.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV0oFQyxvis3LsREB_Sx4idOUarNMmcDAiZiW8QEHXBnS1xu-oKvhJ7dRvyU1jPCB0QUBBdQxRhGtBHVt5fShMOXx8hpkgM4baOk-mRShJyAJeFNlxQKg5luqG32JzjUSNBNKtxwskMIS9/s400/IMG_8182.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375501897045637858" /></a><br /><br />And I know I'm a goober with the matching clothes thing but I just can't help it. My Mom used to do this to my older sisters and I. We may have complained at times but the truth is that I look back on it and remembering feeling special that I got to dress like them. None of the boys have ever complained to me about it before but this year when Rylan saw my plan unfold he simply gave me one of those "Mooooom" moments. We'll have to see what I can get away with next year!<br /><br />Haven started her half day Pre-K class on Thursday. She has been beyond excited to go and for the first two days it has lived up to her every expectation.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizKA5sGA1I0-XrY3sT7eTt7oCJ6QXKg_nKGMMirrDa276LMgOjABU2GytKa4eVp0TvKKdplwDGx4QE10Glgd5JAH1xekb9-Hsgl8QVcYmFnVKqvU1TTizIFCPKj8_9i7QcH-SwiOCn-Gid/s1600-h/IMG_8202.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizKA5sGA1I0-XrY3sT7eTt7oCJ6QXKg_nKGMMirrDa276LMgOjABU2GytKa4eVp0TvKKdplwDGx4QE10Glgd5JAH1xekb9-Hsgl8QVcYmFnVKqvU1TTizIFCPKj8_9i7QcH-SwiOCn-Gid/s400/IMG_8202.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375504043831011810" /></a><br /><br />Is this an excited face or what?!?!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvsxuFQNDSZwdOaslOVP1EcNBvAPS3RwwpAvttBTKhNLWUFVq45XbUI3JSwrDNrciC1WTM-BPSrZnDX_SYDiwzQuWJAKol-tf-G1zUlTmwAyCXF4Vyva2bM8aqfoukhn6HBknJI2rz-rh7/s1600-h/IMG_8205.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvsxuFQNDSZwdOaslOVP1EcNBvAPS3RwwpAvttBTKhNLWUFVq45XbUI3JSwrDNrciC1WTM-BPSrZnDX_SYDiwzQuWJAKol-tf-G1zUlTmwAyCXF4Vyva2bM8aqfoukhn6HBknJI2rz-rh7/s400/IMG_8205.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375504050300704130" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />So with all the siblings off to shool Payten Ella gave sister one more hug and we went home.

I'd been thinking about it lately but when I would ask Haven if she wanted to get a haircut she would immediately put her hands on the top of her head and say "No way Jose!"

The girls couldn't come all the way to Texas and not get some "real" mexican food. Nina led us to a great hole in the wall place called Papa Gallos and we all got our fill of some yummy stuff. I'm not a huge mexican food fan but I really really liked this place. We all got something different and taste tested off of each others' plates. Mmmm Mmmm... good. I'll have to hit that place sometime again soon.<br /><br />We then hurried home so I could spend some time with my family on my birthday and in time for the kiddos to get home from school and let them spend some time with the Aunties. It was fun to just let them all interact with each other. It's always interesting to see who gravitates to who. The boys were all vying for auntie Eliza's attention. Even Brayden found enjoyment in hanging out with the big crowd. They all loved all of them but the girls especially had their favorites. Payten Ella snuggled up to Auntie Jen from the get go. (Sisters, who has a picture of them together? I need one!) Haven Gracie found a forever friend with Auntie Amber. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3iB9Y7ksEm9q2sk8DDqdcGVSJB-d9QJPFXr-lYrYqvZpFZem4RFN71ruuZzazrtxQXpwHRAGV-QLLliNuzu7X4LIYvP8bpzNwC_cjXZ2b9A_AxjrY7O2o_zi-IZJepoKRbX3OogXFYeid/s1600-h/Pic1620187607.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3iB9Y7ksEm9q2sk8DDqdcGVSJB-d9QJPFXr-lYrYqvZpFZem4RFN71ruuZzazrtxQXpwHRAGV-QLLliNuzu7X4LIYvP8bpzNwC_cjXZ2b9A_AxjrY7O2o_zi-IZJepoKRbX3OogXFYeid/s320/Pic1620187607.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337948870670680146" /></a><br />I snuck back to the girl's bedroom at one point and found Haven introducing all of her friends to her Auntie.

It was so cute.<br /><br />THEN.... Spencer came home from work early and cooked the most amazing dinner I've ever had. He was running a kitchen like I've never seen before. He had two little prepping girls (Catherine and Eliza) working with the knives and he had all four burners and the oven going at once. There was steak, fish, scallops, salad, shrimp, hot bread and a white chocolate raspberry filled cake. It was better than any restaurant I've ever eaten at. Thanks baby! Hell's Kitchen has nothing on you! With our very very full bellies, the girls headed out to Fiesta in San Antonio.

It was so thoughtful of the Aunties.

We were initially trying to find the La Villita place . We walked around the river paths not only in search for La Villita but it was a vacation quest of Catherine's to see dancers and some mariachi bands. (Tourists.) Along the way we ran into lots of both. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgopYftdsY-9FeA-xHQBVYOW-F8AX_Y5MTiqGDFaomBvAIgDaud3lnlF2Rh9wDoo9HbBHuP3d3zgIFyS419Pt0f9FLBTgG5QuG5Lnn1pg3OggMO7ykI78ozLyeu6apJTvxbTHGPGzFWRI3T/s1600-h/Pic1620187611.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgopYftdsY-9FeA-xHQBVYOW-F8AX_Y5MTiqGDFaomBvAIgDaud3lnlF2Rh9wDoo9HbBHuP3d3zgIFyS419Pt0f9FLBTgG5QuG5Lnn1pg3OggMO7ykI78ozLyeu6apJTvxbTHGPGzFWRI3T/s320/Pic1620187611.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337961965851244146" /></a><br /><br />They were on boats, in restaurants and at one point we found them on the path so we grabbed a photo op with them too. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNKKDaWUsbB-r76Y5lbwGCi-_VHoX4NurtzeTAW8gQzrKRdlcU8zeWfjGp81iqE8uDC2Qqs5bqIu-jZCn5l2hiNhEF2HCpz4DdYiKYDy5FMX4rc-Diq12MdFwwCZHeghh-naBKV99UHTXh/s1600-h/Pic1620187583.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNKKDaWUsbB-r76Y5lbwGCi-_VHoX4NurtzeTAW8gQzrKRdlcU8zeWfjGp81iqE8uDC2Qqs5bqIu-jZCn5l2hiNhEF2HCpz4DdYiKYDy5FMX4rc-Diq12MdFwwCZHeghh-naBKV99UHTXh/s400/Pic1620187583.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337964761173905890" /></a><br />(Who has one with me in it?)

We thought it was a place with fiesta style entertainment but learned it was basically a big Texas bar-b-que with a mixture of tejano and country music going on. We were thankful we had enjoyed ourselves and taken our time along the way. In fact, I wish we had had more of it.<br /><br />Later we found the Alamo and there was a nice old man there who had lived within 15 blocks of this place his whole life. He took a group shot of us which I don't have on my camera. (GIRLS???)<br /><br />When we were walking back to the car there were a few shops still open at almost midnight so we ducked into one and had some fun.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq1pwi-m81tqxsi-75LPkcifzfGxEc_VEKEW51k1S42Rmj9WGV_0cXaYknC37RSlNaNWeS-qC44q3VIP0KHYRqnt_iFtrX1MoVBIF3PsUbldOITU0Haz8e9E8bVZ1dSIhKnJbwKLDLKafI/s1600-h/Pic1620187612.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq1pwi-m81tqxsi-75LPkcifzfGxEc_VEKEW51k1S42Rmj9WGV_0cXaYknC37RSlNaNWeS-qC44q3VIP0KHYRqnt_iFtrX1MoVBIF3PsUbldOITU0Haz8e9E8bVZ1dSIhKnJbwKLDLKafI/s400/Pic1620187612.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337968775655905954" /></a><br /><br />There are a lot more funny pics of us in this store. I'm pretty sure the guys running the store thought we had been drinking too much at La Villita but we all know that that is not so. And I don't think any of us cared. We were having fun being silly. I can't wait to get our memory book we're having made done. Four girls with four cameras equals a lot of pictures I don't have. We had a lot of fun days making a lot of happy memories for me in just a few hours. I still can't get over the fact that they would do all of this for/with me. It will forever mean the world to me.<br /><br />When I got home late that night, Spencer surprised me with my birthday present. I get to go see Broadway's Wicked at the Majestic theatre in June! After the surprise of all of this then the fantasy get away to Rockport with my husband, it is so good to have something unbelievable to look forward to.kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00712116890464850039noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470114182721654956.post-83825915038619469752009-05-17T14:36:00.008-05:002009-05-17T15:38:07.079-05:00Happy Day Indeed<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLSs9BX92JIHicytV38FWmEPcLZe79zWFu81iErZXjmxHStBAhfDNmRF0bw3L15202cQqntR6NlXDKsSt6aUdTizjZPGAlKrgeJjW17IuuFgHTRyUDWmJDDdEohrw0GSioh7oYQcqfR7MU/s1600-h/Pic1620187601.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLSs9BX92JIHicytV38FWmEPcLZe79zWFu81iErZXjmxHStBAhfDNmRF0bw3L15202cQqntR6NlXDKsSt6aUdTizjZPGAlKrgeJjW17IuuFgHTRyUDWmJDDdEohrw0GSioh7oYQcqfR7MU/s320/Pic1620187601.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336893239243775074" /></a><br /><br />This experience with my sisters was without a doubt the biggest birthday surprise of my life. Although I was still wheeling myself into reality that they were really here, we headed out the next morning for a fun filled day. With Spencer at work and the boys at school, Nina even arranged a babysitter for the girls so I wouldn't be caught up in last minute favor begging. Which also meant she got to come with us. So as every respectable Mormon girl does, we headed out to the San Antonio temple for some sight seeing. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyfE9NWghUUI9o0-9VaDKW6D2d4oVzm4khAPtOuAUiXInOCiFF7e44tbNn9PdfOk9VfIz4vmPSeFAaOXYCQkns9xPUT3MOeiuH2-4tdva2M8lSr64VApO4dIZM9RSaudRcEnB_Jjykao-z/s1600-h/Pic1620187603.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyfE9NWghUUI9o0-9VaDKW6D2d4oVzm4khAPtOuAUiXInOCiFF7e44tbNn9PdfOk9VfIz4vmPSeFAaOXYCQkns9xPUT3MOeiuH2-4tdva2M8lSr64VApO4dIZM9RSaudRcEnB_Jjykao-z/s400/Pic1620187603.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336881663024035826" /></a><br />None of these sisters had seen this temple before.

She went through such great lengths to help pull this all together without me knowing. I've had a few kindred spirit friends cross my path in this life time. Heather Jones (now Bradbury) through my childhood years. Karin Havens who knows everything about me. The good, bad, the ugly and could tell you what I would do before I even do it.

Oh here we are together with my pretty sisters." (Primary song. Sorry.)<br />This shot made me flash back to my early childhood when my Mom would set us all up for a photo op. It brings back happy memories of life before everything went crazy.<br />Anyways..It was really really good to be there. It's not a secret to most that I've been struggling with a lot of things lately. It was a miracle to have my sisters take me there and feel in my heart where I should be. Just these short moments helped me remember who I want to be. I want to be more like them.

It started out with my sisters in kahootz with Nina which led to the reaction on the post of 22nd. (See Suupise Sista!)

She left her three babies in Utah. I haven't been able to spend any real time with her since she came out here for our temple sealing in 2003. It was so good to spend time with all of them. I still can't believe they were actually here! It came and went so quickly that sometimes it seems like a dream. I'm glad we have so many pictures to forever remember the experience.<br /><br />They showed up with flowers, balloons and a yummy cake that read "Suupise" on it. Gotta love the Asians at HEB! After my kids were forced to go to bed instead of getting to know more of the Aunties, I sat around staring at them thinking, "There's Amber. In my house. There's Catherine and Eliza. IN MY HOUSE!" It was completely unbelievable! Spencer was a trooper in taking over the running of the household because I had checked out. That first night most of us (heh hum Amber) stayed up until 5 AM just catching up with each other's lives. Then we were back up and at it by 8 to keep the party rolling.<br /><br />So now is when I take a blogging break. We shoved so much into two days that this camera addict can't fit it all into one blog! I've decided to break it up into days so tomorrow's blog will be our trip to see the San Antonio temple and our wild girl's night out! Stay tuned!kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00712116890464850039noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470114182721654956.post-9750635226343189572009-05-02T16:25:00.012-05:002009-05-03T23:49:18.918-05:00The Big 18th For BSo after a whirlwind of a week (the best week EVER!) I'm finally backtracking to blog my amazing adventures that have been going down at the Drapers. My birthday was the 22nd of April and that is when all the CRAZY stuff happened with my sisters. But Bryan's birthday was the 20th and got surpassed in the blogging world with the complete and utter surprise of my sisters showing up. (see the blog entry from the 22nd.) So.. of course I have to back up and let one and all see my "man" (whatever) on his 18th birthday.<br />I usually let my kids stay home from school on their birthdays but Bryan got up and at it without mentioning otherwise. When he came home this is what he found in his room.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7B1zFj6aCsypiu2U0I69tKZyooKxsrEky-uX6jmMdDkrVNaw40p0KC37a_0Uj0on4N13NAlw-G8NZVelAnJLUFyEkaY85OtiAz41Su0f2-nwZEVHo6QZMsJcypvZop7SZv0c1lYyXF7gx/s1600-h/Pic1620187584.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7B1zFj6aCsypiu2U0I69tKZyooKxsrEky-uX6jmMdDkrVNaw40p0KC37a_0Uj0on4N13NAlw-G8NZVelAnJLUFyEkaY85OtiAz41Su0f2-nwZEVHo6QZMsJcypvZop7SZv0c1lYyXF7gx/s400/Pic1620187584.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331400028347684802" /></a><br />OK. The girls weren't in there but they had decorated his rooms with a ton of streamers and balloons and candy thrown about. They hid in the back yard until B was inside and then he found it all. He called Spencer to tease him that for his birthday he came home to a room full of girls and chocolate on his bed!

His good friend Jordyn is to the far right of B. It was all her idea. She went and picked up Bryan's other good friend who is directly to the right of B. Her name is Taylor. And to the left of Bryan is Jordyn's little sister Kylie.

I'm hoping by the end of the week I will be blogging Easter Fun and will only be one week behind. Hmmmm.... We'll see.<br />And sorry that this is probably setting a record for the single longest blog ever. But hey... when I'm only blogging once every two weeks now, I'm allowed a ten page blog! And P.S. There are two entries to this one blog. Part one and part two.

Such perfect little angels huh? They were actually pretty good but that is because we bribed them and told them we would take a family trip to the park afterwards if they were good. A little evil but I swear by bribery. IT WORKS!! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEV-WmPu_EVPHt1f0wj5IUxJx4cWUoHUzNbppEFgAZo1nP9A-488KW26zZp7VZ0qM2lzsCMRJWSrkaNxgmitAf_k1Ui_N9-yiyAkol4wvGa6v_nHg_UwIZDhYDQhDhYjHCJRwg5xzC3dn-/s1600-h/Pic1620187631.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEV-WmPu_EVPHt1f0wj5IUxJx4cWUoHUzNbppEFgAZo1nP9A-488KW26zZp7VZ0qM2lzsCMRJWSrkaNxgmitAf_k1Ui_N9-yiyAkol4wvGa6v_nHg_UwIZDhYDQhDhYjHCJRwg5xzC3dn-/s400/Pic1620187631.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326906344162476162" /></a><br />So we went over to a nearby park by the lake and I had a great time. They have a playground just up off of the lake (which is captured in the next post. These are when we went down to the water. Chuchi came along as usual and we took Rori with us. I was curious to see if she could still swim with only three legs. It was very windy and rather chilly. Unlike my children, she followed her better instincts and stayed out of the freezing cold water after just one quick step in. My little ones on the other hand were going further and further in while trying to convince me that the fact that they were shivering and turning blue did not mean that they were cold. Silly babies.<br /><br />Here are some cute pictures of the trip. I split them up by children. There are a lot but we had such a good time and they were so cute I wanted to capture the memory, and I thought I should share. <br />So when are any of you far away people going to come to the lake park with us? I know most of you have great big oceans nearby but I guarantee you the people there aren't as cool as us!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhept8Lz6jWYYzieeg8Td8Ba5aMp74fU_a-f9htma6ANYmR6ioeTGpevIgnkuHxrPMacot8s2OTv9At1bkLuYCHYEzXH0Fr2dc9UPYfXpp3xDo3pQNpQxvVN-DZBNBberrHMW3iLq5Z7S_I/s1600-h/Pic1620187627.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhept8Lz6jWYYzieeg8Td8Ba5aMp74fU_a-f9htma6ANYmR6ioeTGpevIgnkuHxrPMacot8s2OTv9At1bkLuYCHYEzXH0Fr2dc9UPYfXpp3xDo3pQNpQxvVN-DZBNBberrHMW3iLq5Z7S_I/s320/Pic1620187627.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325344809901991138" /></a><br />Thinking about it.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5OkQfI-Kd1tgr5dQsEv6PTc5Bpwemmx-9yWvqODCucsfAWulUsvwuWcDYPKZ2UsECnmNSYE5m22PqlmMFcS4QCyFgKR9NFHd-b6BXtgs8tZiVWf5xZ92sDDKWBtm0V6PnocymhfWm1JHW/s1600-h/Pic1620187626.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5OkQfI-Kd1tgr5dQsEv6PTc5Bpwemmx-9yWvqODCucsfAWulUsvwuWcDYPKZ2UsECnmNSYE5m22PqlmMFcS4QCyFgKR9NFHd-b6BXtgs8tZiVWf5xZ92sDDKWBtm0V6PnocymhfWm1JHW/s320/Pic1620187626.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325343690300834898" /></a><br />I did it!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw_WKjKec8mftFyXzTQOtjKaQ9z7zRt5banGMd-xTyPkQrmxa0I2NXWcAlK8UOfryi6Fy-OzKioVS5iHxO3y-ikFM03e01U7ch3sqqoHlpwpC8PIrhoqxRR5EtovmteKGyg03NbtljU9ep/s1600-h/Pic1620187648.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw_WKjKec8mftFyXzTQOtjKaQ9z7zRt5banGMd-xTyPkQrmxa0I2NXWcAlK8UOfryi6Fy-OzKioVS5iHxO3y-ikFM03e01U7ch3sqqoHlpwpC8PIrhoqxRR5EtovmteKGyg03NbtljU9ep/s320/Pic1620187648.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325342466176879442" /></a><br />I'M NOT COLD!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqJW5mdbm2QtVH4Qf65sWZgaY_KcwsYj5foN1JOHFzgRP_cgb4JuqVVwR_AhORbIanxLY7cIm9q09o9KMplytNhVp2MlrwBTJChaF0Jiazx_fIZ8-aNSoIjbEmBSJiE0CsEFTgbgPsMnt-/s1600-h/Pic1620187647.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqJW5mdbm2QtVH4Qf65sWZgaY_KcwsYj5foN1JOHFzgRP_cgb4JuqVVwR_AhORbIanxLY7cIm9q09o9KMplytNhVp2MlrwBTJChaF0Jiazx_fIZ8-aNSoIjbEmBSJiE0CsEFTgbgPsMnt-/s320/Pic1620187647.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325341463959919442" /></a><br />One day soon that will sure be fun.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtn_9_-PBH_GY7pPcWXwdjbgEXrvu8E8JffnFfppVYqveDwfjuI7zcrKXcM0R4PMdnnFgrItXuudFi1EesBNlmdfhAO15B2XSD4wAq9DnO7WafRe_vFEQnsqfZlQx_-LhmhBhR24XEgKPt/s1600-h/Pic1620187650.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtn_9_-PBH_GY7pPcWXwdjbgEXrvu8E8JffnFfppVYqveDwfjuI7zcrKXcM0R4PMdnnFgrItXuudFi1EesBNlmdfhAO15B2XSD4wAq9DnO7WafRe_vFEQnsqfZlQx_-LhmhBhR24XEgKPt/s320/Pic1620187650.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325346463369651074" /></a><br />Ahhhh.

My excuse might go hand in hand with why the journal thing never went so well with me huh?<br />But I am now here to happily exclaim that after six years of playing what our boys have dubbed the "CBA" (Church Basketball Association) Canyon lake has brought home the trophy. Every year they have made it to the final four or final game and had it taken away by the team who always wins. NOT THIS YEAR! We had an awesome coach and our guys played hard while maintaining true sportsmanship and Christlike attitudes. Everyone in the stake was so proud of them. Here are some pics of the celebration as it happened. YAY Canyon Lake! We love all you guys. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio2zEycFAavrrBDmBwCsfQ70zSbfeTM5Y98MtRYWeAI7I7nujaB96XaMlpIx00Jp5dXLZw3-MgYY0OB5qZqi6izrBQ8rJbmAiKl9GxRmYiqMQjE-Lo2ZT7GJq1WNg0yayQ0kJSeNnP3Akx/s1600-h/Pic1620187588.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio2zEycFAavrrBDmBwCsfQ70zSbfeTM5Y98MtRYWeAI7I7nujaB96XaMlpIx00Jp5dXLZw3-MgYY0OB5qZqi6izrBQ8rJbmAiKl9GxRmYiqMQjE-Lo2ZT7GJq1WNg0yayQ0kJSeNnP3Akx/s320/Pic1620187588.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324550250550747970" /></a><br />Coach David Smith.

They had a switch in director's after the Christmas concert and all of the kids have had to make quite an adjustment including going from singing in a beautiful chapel to on risers in the school cafeteria. Bryan has had to work extra hard to be in the choir this year since his schedule got filled up with classes to help him pass his TAKS tests. (It payed off for science but we've got only one more shot at the math before graduation. Prayers please. Lots of them.) All the help classes combined with his required classes left him no room for any choirs but he worked with his friends and passed off his music with the director who lets him continue to sing with his Men's Ensemble group, the Varsity Mixed choir and even compete in the UIL competitions. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk5k-zkpMiYuTasyJ5-9m2k9XOUc_OZGwn_I6z-gCQyTeKtTUHLGizkORQIKAKbaoOmqIy1Z5al2maZk7JjqVoDDjkOyB68Oze0dQ4-n-8o1BkTcksWeyWex9jFKbSG12ZtwUB0e8UbSnf/s1600-h/Pic1620187588.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk5k-zkpMiYuTasyJ5-9m2k9XOUc_OZGwn_I6z-gCQyTeKtTUHLGizkORQIKAKbaoOmqIy1Z5al2maZk7JjqVoDDjkOyB68Oze0dQ4-n-8o1BkTcksWeyWex9jFKbSG12ZtwUB0e8UbSnf/s400/Pic1620187588.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323819451619543314" /></a><br /> It's been a great gift to Bryan who loves to sing and is really talented at it. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEher8Qn0_uoO1bLRqu-5ur3xee-JtQtYVwUzXlWlZUi1CDAM6s02420PpjStTnqj480dT5ZfT9b2a_6VOhb_wPdPmfU7-FmWivkc_QS13t7ga0NFUHAW71irdVMQ2bbnY4g2qv8CeSc7G8U/s1600-h/Pic1620187589.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEher8Qn0_uoO1bLRqu-5ur3xee-JtQtYVwUzXlWlZUi1CDAM6s02420PpjStTnqj480dT5ZfT9b2a_6VOhb_wPdPmfU7-FmWivkc_QS13t7ga0NFUHAW71irdVMQ2bbnY4g2qv8CeSc7G8U/s400/Pic1620187589.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323824797648644002" /></a><br />It was the first time I've ever seen Bryan need his music though.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG9DgfbG3CyXJ2jgmgKSKhgEQFLfC_vhXiwQu2LkcqpwsCMl40UKSyKUfr_f5tHq0wdHjRExWygGWPf2FOGiwOo1KojceF0mFQA2GTxJFwHlohj8kXruFFyi_2PKkj-fzcjoyFHnyBCruM/s1600-h/Pic1620187592.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG9DgfbG3CyXJ2jgmgKSKhgEQFLfC_vhXiwQu2LkcqpwsCMl40UKSyKUfr_f5tHq0wdHjRExWygGWPf2FOGiwOo1KojceF0mFQA2GTxJFwHlohj8kXruFFyi_2PKkj-fzcjoyFHnyBCruM/s400/Pic1620187592.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323836315534913794" /></a><br />This is him surrounded by some of his best choir buddies.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1h7aza_X2qPjy6zekpIfkYdp6aFqH2uRaC8cTsQxzaAVqFvDKdRB6lv79C-Zz5zt5R1Q6NL7wb5tlbuRNmpMZ83y-ljPVRDPGlfQEWNvUQImQHXBYZ82pmd73DeVgJENzpFbNYR00tKc/s1600-h/Pic1620187593.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1h7aza_X2qPjy6zekpIfkYdp6aFqH2uRaC8cTsQxzaAVqFvDKdRB6lv79C-Zz5zt5R1Q6NL7wb5tlbuRNmpMZ83y-ljPVRDPGlfQEWNvUQImQHXBYZ82pmd73DeVgJENzpFbNYR00tKc/s400/Pic1620187593.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323839903089216098" /></a><br />Rylan loving on his big brother.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuzA4yIx9xNl-jIkh75IyyjLCLKmmUn9ddCIrhoUmisiUGjiUJHTF7AHJjoaLR-LLmF4TqHlAxa0sHHFRLOePIq6SWeuWEYfOAB0uONYYjjRHt53V8P2wqZtohmOHUkFNGUJ-nqmWZALpQ/s1600-h/Pic1620187595.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuzA4yIx9xNl-jIkh75IyyjLCLKmmUn9ddCIrhoUmisiUGjiUJHTF7AHJjoaLR-LLmF4TqHlAxa0sHHFRLOePIq6SWeuWEYfOAB0uONYYjjRHt53V8P2wqZtohmOHUkFNGUJ-nqmWZALpQ/s400/Pic1620187595.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323841552122344530" /></a><br />And of course the night ended with a photo op.

That's a long time and yet when I do something simple like touch the Easter basket he's had as a baby, it all comes rushing back.

Maybe this will be the sport that grabs him despite all the new rules to learn and LOTS of people who really are "watching him." It's interesting to see his brain in progress. You can tell he is intensely trying to soak it all in and does get a little frustrated with the other T-ballers who don't learn and follow all of the rules as quickly as he does but he swears he is <br />enjoying it. It's so cute to once again see such a little guy learn how to use his body that way.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSIISMW9omERDk2e0YndCeKmXr9pcu8c7FQC4ljwWoCB4-hAFw2CzY_KVsJAp6j3fKLLv0CO6sQcAfxfDcxuf3w4VEdeRmcbyCEzlbrK0bNBWeF5pxJkagurt9I8iHy5sBiyq4wdi99207/s1600-h/Pic1620187585.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSIISMW9omERDk2e0YndCeKmXr9pcu8c7FQC4ljwWoCB4-hAFw2CzY_KVsJAp6j3fKLLv0CO6sQcAfxfDcxuf3w4VEdeRmcbyCEzlbrK0bNBWeF5pxJkagurt9I8iHy5sBiyq4wdi99207/s400/Pic1620187585.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320850147156448514" /></a><br />Throw that ball!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPCjgQ1-SqcCfhCFS0udC_BRyiILvNNiUYfWSTV0n8gzWRY7To__Uu22uaaXThNVkfpBNNhVrGuC5XfVmry5JZMFmTwoOC0vhcvvpJq0n3NZ50Q-KKeWQW9JAti5_LUxw0kKE3rx4yHYvO/s1600-h/Pic1620187583.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPCjgQ1-SqcCfhCFS0udC_BRyiILvNNiUYfWSTV0n8gzWRY7To__Uu22uaaXThNVkfpBNNhVrGuC5XfVmry5JZMFmTwoOC0vhcvvpJq0n3NZ50Q-KKeWQW9JAti5_LUxw0kKE3rx4yHYvO/s400/Pic1620187583.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320851595942393938" /></a><br />Hit that ball!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwUz5Q96H1qWIUBoSOmjiK8kDwsmC7wp1MbTraz21PMvMY-7n5Dm7ORJcEoDFH2S9JXrn0GQVCvxHW-opvDOew0bdPgzeKHE2D7UWmga4VDOhFObYixuH-xlQRtUYXKH5VlA5w6NGnBgSP/s1600-h/Pic1620187584.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwUz5Q96H1qWIUBoSOmjiK8kDwsmC7wp1MbTraz21PMvMY-7n5Dm7ORJcEoDFH2S9JXrn0GQVCvxHW-opvDOew0bdPgzeKHE2D7UWmga4VDOhFObYixuH-xlQRtUYXKH5VlA5w6NGnBgSP/s400/Pic1620187584.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320848246733334754" /></a><br />Trap that ball!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0a_xfCEMYAXXYOVwvVyVH8jkrSvtRaimIHz7zQ8-lr1XpSvmE2C_Iy-BSepi5B1ZvaY0hW8V6rT8zaPkH0VFwa_JbizVO8iNa4hIJndkgdD5n5pCma5zdPBps6FzBYdnDVv2Ji1AWAowj/s1600-h/Pic1620187587.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0a_xfCEMYAXXYOVwvVyVH8jkrSvtRaimIHz7zQ8-lr1XpSvmE2C_Iy-BSepi5B1ZvaY0hW8V6rT8zaPkH0VFwa_JbizVO8iNa4hIJndkgdD5n5pCma5zdPBps6FzBYdnDVv2Ji1AWAowj/s400/Pic1620187587.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320846240656933170" /></a><br />But I have to admit that this is still his favorite part of the game.

Mind you, it is a Saturday which means they were all up late on Friday and SUPPOSED TO sleep in this morning! Mommy likes her Saturday sleep in. Waking up at 8:00, trying to push it to 8:30; that's almost heaven for me. But yesterday I made the mistake of telling the kids that we would be going to the park today for Trevan and Brayden's opening ceremonies. When she came in my room she was exclaiming that the sunshine was up so it was time to go to the park. I convinced her that the park trip was later and she should lay back down and go to sleep which... TADA it happened! So the first thing I figured out is that I must have some kind of magic cause Haven NEVER goes "back to sleep". But when she did this is what followed.<br />I hear her yell with a voice of amazement and a hint of worry, "THEY'RE MELTING!" I ignore that one cause dangit, I want to sleep! But then immediately following comes the explanatory and somewhat freaked out exclamation of "THE CATS!" This time I respond with a reassuring "Shhhh Haven it's OK." I don't know if I convinced her that she was OK or if the fact that cats are melting is OK but either way we all got to "sleep in" 'til 8:30. So the second thing I found out is that I got a sleep talker. So now not only does she talk all day but apparently she talks all night too!

She has that February birthday so she had been waiting a long time to "get to go to class with the big kids." It's not surprising that she loves it but it is somewhat surprising how well behaved she is. Haven is a talker. Everywhere. Every time. All the time. We are often amazed and bewildered by the fact that her little jaws and tongue don't just get sore from all the motion. It's one of the many reasons we love her! So here's to many more happy days in primary. Many many many more!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbKGmmstftg8ozvGbufZG7XPV57lcM3Gyc19bJRfzqsQl75ob744atQbM0nhpjTzeZkaPp3yrXd6l_dnunN-McMU81uEQGKNo5Fy6U0hYHx9R9WZ00hmbtReOEbB_PpDFZxjkJ2fabycv6/s1600-h/Pic1620187607.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbKGmmstftg8ozvGbufZG7XPV57lcM3Gyc19bJRfzqsQl75ob744atQbM0nhpjTzeZkaPp3yrXd6l_dnunN-McMU81uEQGKNo5Fy6U0hYHx9R9WZ00hmbtReOEbB_PpDFZxjkJ2fabycv6/s400/Pic1620187607.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319375431463712498" /></a><br />Haven had her first primary talk this past Sunday. Her topic was obeying her parents. She made up her own story about two girls named Kylie and Hannah who were having a play date together. Kylie's Dad told her not to take her new doll but she did anyways and then when Hannah was playing with her it broke and Kylie felt bad because she should have listened to her Dad. That's where the story ended when she practiced with me but Haven was enjoying her assignment so much that when I nudged her to get down from the microphone she said but "Mommy. I'm not done!' She continued with her story saying that "then Hannah and Kylie started fighting!" What the???? I had no idea where she was going with it and tried my best to persuade her to "tie up the loose ends" but Haven is difficult to persuade. To our amazement she finished up by saying that we have to listen to our Mommys and Daddys but we have to obey Jesus too who says "No fighting." Good girl Gracie.
