Our little trip!

Yesterday, Rachel's family, Jarrod's family and my family took a little trip to Morenci. We got together and took a lot of pictures of our families and our kids. It was fun. The kids had fun playing on the trains and in the old jail. Then we went and towards the mine. We saw some Rams and watched some of the huge dump trucks unload their dirt.


Earlier this month Shaffen and I hit 9 years of being married!!! Holy cow, that's a long time. It has flown by! We haven't changed very much. Shaffen still has a crazy sense of humor that I laugh at. He is such a good person, always honest no matter what! He takes good care of me and the boys. He tries really hard to make sure we are making great memories with our kids. So far he has done a great job. He is a good example to me and the boys. And we both talked about it and decided that if we had to get married all over again that it would still be to each other!!! :)
Here is to another 9 years!!!
We took a lot of good pictures and a lot of crazy ones!!! My boys are so cute, it was hard to pick any favorites. Right here they look about the same size!!!Here is all of us that went. It was surprising that we all sorta matched our clothes. And no it wasn't intentional!!!

My family. I think this was one of the better ones, even though we aren't all looking in the same direction!

I thought this was funny. Both of them with squished cheeks!!

This on I am not really sure what his problem was....but this does show his personality!

This is one of my favorites. Nikki and Rachel both had a camera and me and Shaffen were looking at Nikki and the boys at Rachel!

My cute boys!!!

All of the kids in jail....Conner wouldn't go in. He was holding the door shut!

My boys being good.....and looking handsome!!

So it is official Shaffen has graduated with his Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice Administration!!!! He says that it's not final until he gets his diploma in the mail. It will apparently take 4-6 weeks!!! He is very relieved he is done and so am I! Just in time for me to start school today at 12:30!! It will be a long road but so worth it in the end!!

Back to school and Conner's first day of preschool!

So I am a little slow with blogging, sorry! Covin started back to school last week. He was so excited to go. He didn't want me to take him on his first day, but his dad insisted that I take him. I felt bad cause he really wanted to ride the bus. His teacher is very nice. I think it's going to be a great year!!


At Covin's school they changed around the bus loading and unloading area. So they are having the officers hang out so that the parents follow the new rules. Here is Shaffen not to excited about the picture and hanging out. Shaffen has been at the school almost everyday. Yesterday, Dallin and Covin were getting off of the bus and Shaffen yelled at them to tell them Hi and the boys got a little embarrassed and Shaffen got a hidden wave from them. Shaffen was a little disappointed the he is already embarrassed of us already!!! I thought it was funny.

Covin came home yesterday and was telling me about his day. He proceeded to tell me that when he gets to school his pencil is always sharp, it's like magic! I thought it was funny that he thinks its magic!!!!

I LOVE THESE BOYS!!!! I am also so happy that they love each other!! They are growing up too fast!

And here is my not so little baby!!! Today was Conner's first day of preschool! He was so excited! He thought he was going to ride a bus today. He told me I have to get ready so I don't miss the bus (which is what is said everyday to Covin to make him hurry up). And mom you don't have to take me I will walk to the bus and I will watch for cars!!! Me: WHAT!!!!!!

He is so stinkin cute! I was getting him dressed and he told me I am big like dad, cause he has a shirt like mine! Then I took him in my bathroom to comb and use some hairspray and he told me why are you doing that it's not Sunday!!! Apparently he thinks you only comb your hair on Sundays!!

He was so excited about his Lightning Mc Queen backpack!!!

Me and my little man. I kept taking his picture and he told me, Mom that's enough!!! So sad!!!

When we got to the school he unbuckled and said, Ok, see you later, pick me up after lunch!!! Me: What!!! Who's kid are you!!!!!

He is such a turkey! I love this kid so much. I didn't cry but I am very sad that he is gone. I know its only 3 hours, but what am I going to do with myself??? I am feeling guilty about going back to school on Monday. I won't get to see my kids very much. My schedule is going to be crazy. Conner will go to preschool and I will have to go to class before he gets out. I won't see him for over 6 hours!!!! I am very grateful for all of the help that is coming my way. It is very comforting to know he will be with my sister for a majority of the time. But it's already making me sad to leave him. HE IS STILL MY BABY!!! Even though he doesn't care!! I am such a baby.....seriously only 30 more minutes before I go get him. I should have been cleaning or studying or something!!! I LOVE MY BOYS!!!
