Temple Square

Every year we go to see the lights at temple square with the spen's it was such nice weather this year we didn't have to worry about traveling in the snow and stuff, we sure had a good time.

This was the sun rising Monday morning when I took the kids to school it was so awesome in the cold morning air and the fog that had set in.

THE Christmas Tree!!

Brayden and Brecken thought it would be fun to have Brailee help decorate the xmas tree, although I knew what that would lead to.

It's bound to happen, there is always ONE child.

She loves to listen to the singing animals and dance to them.

Then SHE did it she took the tree down, this is not the actual picture cuz i had to pick the tree up OFF her the first time but none of the other kids EVER bothered my tree, but Brailee yes she not only took it down the tree base broke also, so we couldn't stand our tree up until Robert made a base for it to stand. I swear this child will be the death of me. She is so active and into everything it drives me crazy!

Sundday November 21, 2010

This is what we woke up to Sunday morning Im not sure im ready for this snowy cold weather to be here, im a summer bum and I hate the snow. My kids were so excited to see the snow when they woke up they started hollaring yeah christmas is almost here!
Robert and Brayden have been playing the wii and trying to pass the mario game and last night they finally conquered mario bro's Brayden was so excited ( think robert was too but he didnt show it, but all the yelling he did at brayden throughout the games proves otherwise) Brailee would get upset if she couldn't have their paddle so we got a old one out and let her pretend she was playing also. she would scream at the tv I told robert he isn't setting a good example for her.

The day finally arrived my babysitter/good friend Heather was married Friday in the Bountiful temple she looked so beautiful im upset none of my pictures turned out but she looked beautiful anyway. She is so happy and she is married to a wonderful man im happy for her she deserves the best she has sure been threw a lot in her short life, but has stayed strong through it all. Im so happy for her congrats Heather!

We finally are getting some hair! we got a tiny curl in her the other day.

End of Summer

Well summer has come and gone. Im so sad to see it go, this year is flying by so fast. School started this past week and so we decide to go do one more thing before the kids had to go back, so we went down to the Discovery Kid's with their cousin's they had a lot of fun.

Larsen Family Reunion 2010

This is Grandma and Grandpa Larsen. Last year my "Brother" volunteered our family to do the reunion my grandparents were not too excited about it but we told them they would have lots of help. I volunteered to make the quilt which ive never done before so I had no idea what I was in for but everyone told me I was crazy. After a long summer of getting things ready the reunion turned out GREAT we sure had a good time and even saw some ole cousins I haven't seen in a while.
This is the quilt I choose to make it took me 4 months to get it done. I made it ONLY because I knew how much my grandpa wanted a good ole hand sewn quilt that people don't make anymore they just go out and buy them. I had hopes my grandpa would win it cuz I knew other than me HE was the ONLY one who would appreciate it as much as I did, needless to say after a long stressful day they choose me to draw the name out and I just happened to draw Grandpa's name he was so happy and proud he got a bit teary which in return made me start crying which ended in a big long hug that I'll never forget, it was a blessed moment and made my summer.

Lots of prizes and auction stuff.

We had lots of help!

Spens Family Camping Trip 2010

This year we went up to Strawberry or co-op creek to go camping. It was fun to have all the family together the kids had a blast the played their little hearts out all day long and crashed in the evenings. Robert took the kids to Strawberry Resivoir and caught a bunch of crayfish or crawdad's and he brought them back and cooked them up the kids had a blast trying to catch those little guys, Brailee couldn't get enough of the four wheelers and Brecken and Madison were gone off playing from sun up to sun down being little women its fun to watch my kids grow and enjoy themselves I hope they can remember these days or memories years from now.

The Fair part 2

We had a lot of fun at the Morgan County Fair this year although Robert and I were glad when it was over. It was Brayden's first year in 4-H and he showed a Lamb in the fair, he worked hard at getting it ready not as hard as he could of but we are proud of him. He washed his lamb made a poster, Brecken even had the opportunity to "show" or walk the lamb around after it was done and get a small trophy she wouldn't have anything to do with the sheep before the fair but as you can see by the end she was in the cage with it and she was not too happy about the fact it wasn't coming home with us. The kids had fun playing games at the fair we went to motorcross, the parade, the rodeo and they played on the toys it was a long 3 days but it was worth it, thank you to family who helped with Brailee it sure made our days easier.

Fair week

This week is the begining of the Fair, Saturday they had the Parade and Brayden is in 4-H so he got to ride on the float. Brayden will be showing a lamb Wednesday and he is really excited, and to top it off I finished my quilt. I made a quilt for the larsen reunion and I thought I would enter it into the fair and see if it win's anything its taken me 4 months to make but it was a good learning experience and im excited to see how much my grandparents will like it.

Lake 24th July

On the 24th we went up to the lake with Grandma and Grandpa Spens and Aunt Maryann we thought we would take the kids out on the lake, they enjoyed themselves swimming in the lake in fact Dad and I jumped in it was warm and a lot of fun. they also injoyed playing on the beach, Brailee didn't really care for the life jacket or the fact I put her in the Lake but she enjoyed the sand and sitting on the beach. Thanks Grandpa for a fun afternoon.

This summer has been crazy at the begining of summer I had nothing to do so I got a small job cleaning the school, well since then its got very hectic but we made some time and was able to go up camping with the kids and they had so much fun, 4wheeling, fishing and playing with their cousins we stayed for 10 days that was a little too long for mom but the kids LOVED it!
