Feaby Muffin Lovin

A few weeks ago the kids gathered up all of their money and asked their Dad (not Mom) if he would take them over to Petsmart so they could buy a rodent. So, we have done critters in the past. The first was a gerbil that died of a heart attack because Sophie found it's cage and gave it a joy ride around the backyard. Second, a guinea pig that we kept for a couple months, but was soooo stinky we ended up giving it away at a garage sale. The third was a snake that Jaden got for his 8th birthday. One day he escaped his poorly devised container and we have never been able to find him (probably hiding, growing, waiting for the time to seek its revenge). The fourth was "Feaby Muffin", a cute litte dwarf hamster. You would think we (when I say "we" I really mean Darren) would have learned from our past mistakes. Well cute little Feaby lasted three weeks. The poor thing probably died because she came to the critter cursed Lovin house. The kids really did love her, and she was actually pretty cute. This is how she will be remembered...

Will be remembered for how fast she went on her wheel.

Rest in Peace little Feaby.

Rim Country

There is nothing better than celebrating the 4th of July up in Heber with our family. We have enjoyed going so many times in the past and this was the first year we have been able to go since Marcie was born. The kids had a great time running around the field, dancing, playing with their cousins, eating snow cones & watching the amazing fireworks. Can't wait to do it next year!

Thirteen

Thirteen years ago today I made the best decision of my life and married my best friend! I'm one lucky gal!!!

It's called being bored on a Sunday and having to watch those $2000.00 ( rip off) Living Scripture Movies...

Preachers Canyon

Over Memorial Day weekend we took the kids up to Payson to play in a creek that the boys had been to for fathers and sons. It was a beautiful 68 degrees up there and we had a ton of fun. It's so awesome to live so close to the mountains and to be in the nature with my family. I wish I had a creek that ran through my back yard with big mature trees, and crawdads, and friendly little snakes for the boys to catch, but i guess an hour and a half drive will do!

Jaden's Book

Chapter 1
One day a kid named Tucker was sitting on his porch waiting for his pa to arrive from hunting for dinner. At this time Tucker was only 9 years old so he could not go hunting. The reason why is because the law says that any 9 year old and under is not able because they might get shot by the other hunters. Any way back to the hullabaloo back in Texas poor Tucker more dead than alive was so bored.

Sometimes the kids get bored and start typing out stories on the computer. This is one J started today. He says he's going to make a "fortune". It's funny what goes on in their little brains!!!
