We are snowed in!!!

I don't know how some of you are doing but here in SouthEast Idaho it is going to be a very White Christmas. It is done snowing right now and I am pretty sure we have ten inches or more. I attempted to drive today. I went to my cousins up the road which wasn't a wise decision because the wind came up and started drifting in the roads I made it home just fine I was driving the truck. But I really don't think I like snow very well. With Jay being gone for 4 days out of the week it is not very fun to do chores when the snow is up to my knees. But I shouldn't complain either because we do need it really bad.

The Brower Christmas Party!

On December 20th it was the annual Brower Christmas party. This is a pretty big deal in our family. The kids love going they get to play with their cousins that they only see usually once a year, and see Santa Clause. This year quite a few didn't make it and we missed them but what can ya do. Joyce (mother-in-law) did a great job as usual. She fixes the main meal this year it was mashed potatoes and Turkey gravy and corn and other people brought side dishes and goodies to snack on. It was really yummy. She lovingly makes a lot of the gifts that she gives which is 60 or more between kids, grandkids and great grandkids this year she made the grandaughters aprons they are so cute. The grandsons got cute pillow cases too. My boys have cowboys on them of course. I took a lot of pictures so hopefully i can get them posted soon.

These are Jaces things he entered in the fair. A clay dog, A watercolor that looks like our houndog, and a sketching of a horse.

These pictures are from September. Jaspur, Jace and Sharianne all entered some things in the Eastern Idaho State Fair. They each got 10.00 in premium money so they were excited. Jaspur is holding his sand art picture and a watercolor he did.

Also at the fair there was childrens tractor pulling I took Jaspur and the girls I babysit and the competed against each other. It was so fun to watch he is pedaling with everything he's got.

Dax's birthday party.
Dax got a new toy for his birthday a whale swimming pool. All the kids enjoyed even the big kids.

I am kind of doing things backward I should have started with the summer pictures first. These are pictures of the family at Drew's house in Magic (by Hailey) he pretty much lived on the reservoir we took the boat out and played in the water.


Grandpa Tom found a snake and my boys of course had to touch it.



Jace holdoing the snake.


Walking on the beach.
Drew and Dax. I don't think Dax is very happy.

For Halloween Jace dressed up like Indiana Jones, Jaspur was a ninja, and Sharianne was Hermione Granger off of Harry Potter.

Fall 2008

Here is some pictures from this fall I know they are a little late but I just got them on a disk my digital camera doesn't have a cable to hook to the computer so I have to wait until I get them developed and I only do that about twice a year.

CARVING PUMPKINS

For pre-school the kids went to a pumkin patch to get a pumpkin. It was pretty cold but everyone had fun.

Halloween was fun. We went to our churches trunk or treat and had chili and cinnamon rolls. The kids partied for a couple days in a row between a preschool party and a birthday party and then Halloween the kids had a pretty good Halloween. I have issues with the whole candy thing though. I hate when they ask you a thousand times a day if they can have some so my kids ate theirs in 2 days and I don't have to worry about it anymore. The dentist says that is the best thing to do to as long as they brush good. They didn't get a whole bunch of candy either just enough. Jace dressed up as Indiana Jones, Jaspur was a ninja, Sharianne went as Hermione Granger off of Harry Potter.

This month is going to be busy between birthdays and thanksgiving but it should be fun too. I hope to post pictures soon.

Scrapbooked all weekend it was awesome!

Halloween layout

I made a ton of page layouts, and cards this weekend while listening to General Conference. It was so nice I don't think I have ever srapbooked like that before. These are just a few of the things I did.

The last family picture

This picture was taken last December too. We don't do the family picture thing as often as we should. Sharianne was not in the mood to smile so she cried instead.

This is our princess

This is a picture of Sharianne from last Christmas. I am playing around with pictures because I haven't posted any yet.

Quote of the week.

"Children really brighten up a household - they never turn the lights off."
~ Ralph Bus
I know this fits my household.

What's going on with us.

As of right now Jay is working in Wyoming for an electrical company, anywhere from Pinedale Wyoming to Jackson just depends on the week. I am at home with the kids and I sell close to my heart scrapbooking supplies and stamps which I love, I also babysit other kids during the day. Jace our oldest is going to be 8 years old and getting babtized in January I can't believe how fast they grow up. He is in second grade this year and he seems to enjoy it. It is crazy but he got more homework in first grade than he gets in second it is fabulous. Jaspur is in Preschool Tues-Thrus he really enjoys it but he gets lonely without Jace to play with during the day. Sharianne well what can I say she is the most challenging thing I have going right now. I don't know what to do with that kid. She is very hard to understand and really mean. She was recently going to preschool with Jaspur but I took her out because she is mean to the other kids. I am hoping a couple hours of alone time while the kids are in school will help.
It is hard somedays because Jay is gone for 4 days out of the week and when he gets home everyone else needs his help that we don't see him as much as we would like. But we are dealing with it not much else we can do. The kids have their own chores and they do them pretty well and that helps out alot. That is about all I have for now hopefully I can get some pictures on soon.

Here we go!

I thought I would give the whole blog thing a try, I can't promise how often it will be updated or when I can get pictures on it but it looks like it could be fun.

Here is a little bit about my family. My husband Jay and I have been married almost 8 years July 28th is our anniversary. Which seems crazy that seems like a long time, but it has been great and I look forward to spending many more years to come with him. We have 3 wonderful children. Jace who is 7 can't wait for summer break to start he likes school but can't wait to be able to play all day. Jaspur is 4 Our little handful he is lucky he is cute. He really likes to torment his big brother and little sister to see what kind of reaction he can get out of them. And last Sharianne is 3 and she basically rules the house if Sharianne wakes up happy then the should go pretty good if not we're in for a ride.

We have lived in Blackfoot, Idaho for the last 51/2 year. My husband Jay is a Journeymen Electrician we have our own business and he works for another Electrical company also. I just started working at Texas Roadhouse as a waitress to make a little extra for the summer. But I am hoping to start massage therapy school in the fall.

Well hopefully I can get some pictures posted soon.
