What a busy life we have!! Four kids going to 3 schools, it is going to be anything but boring. I cant believe my little guy is in high school. I still can remember what he wore to the first day of Kindergarten. He is pretty brave the school is so big, and there is so many people, I'm glad it's not me! He has some good classes like Chinese, debate, and soon DRIVERS ED!
Emery was so nervous about Junior High. She was sure she would never figure out when lunch was and would never be able to open her locker! Well she made it to lunch and only was locked out of her locker once. She tried out and made the Volleyball team, I am so proud of her! She may ride the pine alot but we have all been there and she still looks so cute out there!
Fally is the big man on campus....6th grade. She has no confidence problems at all. Her teacher is Mr. Hyatt and he loves science. I think she is going to have a great year. As far as Scotlyn she is just happy she got new clothes.
                     Hope this school year is the best yet, the start of many new adventures!!!!

Our new addition!!!

I finally broke down and yep I did it, we got a new guy in our family....Bow! We were going to spell it Bo, but with these girls it totally fits! We love him he is so much fun! I am not a huge animal fan but has made our life a little more exciting.

Scotlyn's baptism July 2011

Today when you are baptized you will promise Heavenly Father that you will remember and follow Jesus and keep all of His commandments. Our Heavenly Father loves us so much that whenever we make a promise to Him, He makes a promise right back to us.




My baby Scotlyn was baptised in July, while all the Marshall family was able to come and support her. It was a very special day for her. Derrik did a great job and we are lucky that he was able to preform that for her. I know Scotlyn felt very loved, which she should. I am so proud of her, she really is a very loving spirit. Scotlyn is a great kid and I know that Heavenly Father has a special plan for her, and I feel very blessed that we get to share this life with her.

***SuMmEr 2011***

What a summer, it seems like it has went by so fast!! We had snow clear up to June, so we have had a mellow Summer. We have had a few visits to Lagoon, the Roy Aquatic Center, and played with the neighborhood kids. We moved into a new house, it was a little bittersweet. We have tried so hard to get that house but it just couldn't happen but the good news is we "LOVE" our new house. We feel very blessed we were able to just move to the cul De sac  across from where we were. My sister lives in the house behind us, and all of our friends are so close!
The girls got picked for an All Star softball team and was asked to play on a competitive softball team. Corbyn was able to work on Tim's farm for a few weeks, he had a good time hanging out with his Grandpa. Scotlyn has had a mellow summer with swimming and playing with friends and cousins. I guess that's the life of the baby of the family!!

                                      Emery was asked to participate in  Decathlon for her PE class

                              After All Star Game June 2011 (lost by one run..best game all year!)

     Fallyn was able to help at a Ute camp and earn money, also a Ute jersey and a cool Ute basketball!

                                                        Fun times with Marshall cousins



Mother's day

Before I was a Mom;

I had complete control of my mind, my thoughts and my body,

I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside of my body,

I didn't know that having something so small could make me feel so

important,

I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache,

the wonderment, or the satisfaction of being a mom.

Before I was a Mom;

I never knew that something so small could effect my life so much,

I never knew that I could love someone so much,

I never knew I would love being a Mom,

I didn't know the bond between a Mother and her child,

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Mother's day has always been an awkward holiday for me. I read the cards and I don't really feel like they describe my relationship with my Mother. As I get older I am starting to understand  we can't always get what we want, but that doesn't mean it's not good. There are good memories I have of me and my Mom. She has  a great sense of humor, and loves to shop. Crystal found some old photo's that we never knew where around. It made me feel loved, and blessed for the family God gave me. Happy Mother's Day Mom, thank you for teaching me to be head strong and proud to be a woman.

I have been very blessed to have AMAZING women in my life. I have learned so much from them and they have given me more than they will ever know. Happy Mothering day to all of those who have touched my life, in so many ways!

My sister Crystal, has always been a mom to me. She has overcome so much and still is so strong. She is a wonderful Mom, daughter, sister, and Aunt. She always is tries to give me advice, even though the majority time I don't listen! I remember the day she moved out of the house to live in Provo. It was one of the saddest days of my life. She always made life at our house fun and interesting! She has always made it a point to support my kids, and listen when I need to talk. I love you so much, and I am amazed at the wonderful mother you are.

My Grandma Vie Cartwright Paice was by far the sweetest and kindest person I have ever met. There are not many days when I don't think about my great grandparents! She was a great cook, always had a clean home, and always had a peanut butter sandwich waiting for me after school. She was the best keeper of secrets and best of all I could do no wrong at her house!!

Eleanore was not my grandma by blood or birth but I have so much love for such a wonderful lady. I honestly hope to be as loving and understanding as she was. One lady had so many great qualities, she truly was a wonderful example on how to love, live and treat others. Her patience was just as great as her kindness. Her fashion sense was amazing, she is missed every day by so many.

Last but not least Margie, she has taught me much. I was so young and had no clue on how to take care of myself, let alone a baby and a family. She had to answer so many questions and tried to show me how to do things. We are so different, but her abilities to get things done and the love for her family are things I admire about her. She is a wonderful grandma for my kids, and they love her so much. She makes wonderful memories for them all the time.

Happy Mothers day to all the amazing Mothers who have been in my life.



Easter

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him. John 3:16-17

 We had a great Easter weekend, we drove all the way to Mesquite. It was so worth the warm weather and the kids love hanging out with their cousins. Like always Grandma and Grandpa made it a lot of fun. It was so nice to just relax and do nothing for 3 days. I loved watching the kids swim and be silly with their cousins!! It's so fun to watch the kids grow up and see the great people they are becoming. It's sad that they are growing up so fast, but they are really great kids!!
