Christmas lights

I love Christmas lights. I think they are better than presents... We put up the tree tonight. I was hoping to put the little ones to bed and lay by the lights with my hubby. But before I knew it all the kids brought their pillows and blankets and were laying under the tree. At least they get it honest. Happy Holidays!!

Joshua's 9th

Joshua invited his best friends over for a night at jumpstreet, followed by pizza, cake, and video games. I love simple and easy to please. Thanks to all that came and made Joshua's day special. Happy Birtday #2

Student of the Month

Yeah Nathan!!! I'm glad you are at least good at school. :) We love you. Congratulations!!!

Halloween

The crew before we trick or treated....

And after.....
Julia's 1st Halloween was a success. She enjoyed lots of chacolate then fell into a coma. Personally that is a successful Halloween to me.

Olivia's wearing a pixie costume but she thinks she's a butterfly. :)

Corn Maze

Every Fall I love to go to the corn maze. Yes, I'm trailor trash. But with pigs, chickens, hay fights, and ropes to climb, who wouldn't have a good time. It finally feels like fall. Break out the pumpkin bread and hot chocolate!

Thomas's Arrow of Light

Thomas, Congratulations on a job well done. You are turning into an exceptional kid, if I do say so myself. And ruggedly handsome too, I might add.
We love you- Mom

Julia 8 months

Yes I know she is 8 months, but I was waiting for a time to get the whole family together and have everybody matching. It turns out there is no time and the boys don't want to look like the girls.... go figure.

Students of the Month

I don't need people to tell me how wonderful my kids are.... but it doesn't hurt :)

16 years and counting

I can still remember wanting to be with him every second of the day, and when we slept I wanted to be snuggled up to him as much as possible. It hasn't always been easy but definately worth it. I love you more than life itself. Thanks for a great 16 years. love Rachel


Our first appartment. We went back a couple weeks ago, taking a stroll down memory lane. It wasnt much better then.

Going Crazy!!!

Yes this is a picture of trash less than a foot from the trash can. I have been yelling at my kids constantly lately, and was thinking I may need to be medicated or something, but.... Me being medicated isn't going to fix some things. It's not me, it's THEM.



Mom this is amazing! It just keeps comming and comming, and its so soft and fluffy.

First Day of School

New shoes and all... Here goes nothing.

Thomas's Webelo Badge August 5, 2010

The mom's always get the pin, but the credit actually goes to Anthony. Congrats Thomas and Thankyou Anthony.

Happy 6th Nathan - August 4, 2010

After our breakfast of champions (oatmeal, mickey pancakes, and reeses)we went to Dave and Busters. Nathan was surprisingly good at the claw and won a basketball and some things for Olivia. Then we ate luch at McDonalds, and finished the day with cake, icecream and nerds for dinner. Oh what it is like to be 6.

July 29, 2010 Puddle Hopping

Growing up my mom used to take us to play in the puddles after it rained. We never had puddles like this!

24th of July in Snowflake/ Taylor

We had a great time at the Willis Farm. The kids rode horses, barrel trains, hay rides, held frogs,ran through the corn maze and the best part was getting muddy in the rain. Thomas chased the money calf, and Joshua and Nathan chased chickens in the local family rodeo. We had a great time, big thanks to mom and dad Greer.

May 13, 2010 Joshua's Wolf

Yeah Josh!! You are turning in to a great young man. I'm so proud of you. Thanks for choosing me to be your mom.

June 24-28 Disney Land

You may notice we don't have the girls in any pictures. The family voted and they were left at home. We are eternally greatful to the Grovers. And had a blast riding rollercoasters with the boys.

1st Oreo :)

The doctor said 1 new food a week. She didn't say what kind.

June 15, 2010 The best part of my life-

People make comments whenever we go to the store about having so many kids. But I can't imagine not having them. They are what I live for.

June 10-12 Cub Scout Day Camp

Over the last 2 years Thomas has come home from camp just raving about how much fun he had. This year was Joshua's first time to go. I don't think he was disappointed

Happy Second Birthday Olivia

We had our traditional Mickey Mouse Pancakes, (my mom did them for each of our birthdays growing up)
I can't believe how fast 2 years has gone!

The kiddos.

Nothing like a nice Easter Swim in AZ.
