What we have been doing with the rest of year 2010?

Timothy received his Aaronic Priesthood. Grandma and Grandpa Thorne and Grandma and Grandpa Cluff were there for his blessing. He's growing up! (July 2010)

Moosehorn Camp for a week with the Thornes and the Sawyers. Where did Josh go? Was he stuck? (August 2010)

 I crocheted this dress while camping at Moosehorn. It was for my cousin who had her first baby girl. That was the first I made it into a dress. I also made two pair of booties for two of my cousins. I used to crochet often in the past when Timothy and Josh were babies. I'm surprised that I still remember how to do it after all these years.

 

We went to Priest Lake, Idaho for a week to spend time with our good friends. We had a wonderful time. Timothy and Josh kneeboarded for the first time and they were able to do the 360 degree trick while kneeboarding! (August 2010)

Fishing at Silver Lake. Caleb caught a fish! (August 2010)

First Day of School. Timothy started Junior High that year. Josh is in 4th and Caleb is in kindergarten.

Boys all dressed up for the pictures. We had our pictures taken with the entire Cluff family at the Timpangoes temple. Benson (Brady's last brother of the family) and Albree were married on September 18 which is also my birthday! They do make a cute couple. Albree looked real beautiful on her wedding day! Sorry, I had to steal the last two pictures from Valerie and Michelle from their blogs, I didn't have any. :) (Sept. 2010)

Timothy and Josh played football for the season. (Fall 2010)

Our Halloween costumes...Brady was the baby and I was the flapper. Timothy and Josh were samurais, it was tough to make these samurai pants because there was no pattern for it anywhere. Caleb was the black ninja.

We had Thanksgiving dinner at our house with the Thornes and the Sawyers on Thanksgiving Day. The next day, we spent Thanksgiving and early Christmas with the Cluffs. We exchanged gifts, hit the pinata, watched a family slideshow, and did the nativity scene. For the Christmas program, Timothy played the piano and Josh did his famous magic trick to show everyone. 

Caleb's 6th Birthday





We got a new pom for Christmas. We named her "Cookie". We love having her!

What the Heck is That?!

One morning, approximately two weeks ago, I found Caleb like this. At first, from a distance away, I thought it was dried blood. I panicked a little bit until I got closer, that was when I figured that Caleb must had made a doo doo all over his bed. I find that odd because he hadn't done it on his bed before in his life, so I went ahead and took a sniff at him....ahh, it was CHOCOLATE! Yum Yum! Anybody want to take a lick from him? JK. It was actually hilarious and I told Timothy to go grab the camera to take a snap of this. Caleb had discovered the chocolate that I had hidden so well from the boys for months, so they couldn't eat it. Caleb decided not to ask for my permission and he knew that I would say "no", so he decided to devour it on his bed just before he went right to sleep, but what he didn't realize that chocolate actually does melt! It'll be a picture of a lifetime! I may present it to the girls he'll date in the future. ;)

Caleb's Preschool Graduation

Congratulations Caleb!

Caleb graduated from preschool on May 19th. He sure looks cute with his graduation gown. He's excited about going to kindergarten this fall.

Isn't that beautiful?

Took a snapshot of the rainbow last week when we had this rainy weather.

JoSh is 9!

Josh turned 9 on April 30th. Josh and his friends went to Jump On It, our kids' favorite place to go for their birthdays. Josh had a great time. I just can't believe he's nine already, it seems like it's only yesterday when he was born.

The clan

Best Buds, having a blast!

Ooh, yummy treats? more trips to the dentist?

Oreos again this year? Maybe that was Caleb...can't remmy. I asked him what kind of cake do you want me to make on your birthday, he just said, "Oreos!"

Springtime! Sort of...

We got snow for a week! Actually, we have been getting about an inch of new snow each day. Snow, snow...go away! I'm ready for spring and I hate being cold all the time! Looking forward for the weather to warm up :)

Here what we have been doing in March/April...

Brady was called as a second counselor to the bishopric for Utah Valley Deaf Ward on March 21st. The bishop is Nathan VanDegraff (pictured in the middle) and the first counselor is Reid Simonsen (pictured on the left). I'm sure they'll make a great team and they have our support! It'll be a challenge for us, the family as well, with him not being home as much and not sitting with us during sacrament meetings. We'll be spending A LOT of our time for the church, with me being the Primary President and Brady being in the bishopric, but we both know that we are serving for the one we love, which is Jesus Christ.

Timothy's World Fair at school. Timothy and his partner, Brandon did "Japan" for the World's Fair. The reason he picked that one out because he wanted to learn more about the country and his grandfather will be taking him there this October for two weeks. Timmy is real excited about it.

I have been making tons of girlie dresses. They are for my two baby nieces and two of my friend's daughters. They sure look cute and I had fun making them. Let me know if you want me to make you some, I'd be more than happy to do it for free. Materials not included, sorry! :)

Brady had been working on finishing the arches for a week last month. The painter had just finished it just before Easter Sunday. It's been forever to get these done, we have been living in this house for 2 1/2 years! It looks so much better.

Easter Weekend-

Brady was ordained as a High Priest on April 2nd by his father, then we went to Lori's baby blessing for Gwen afterwards. It was beautiful. I need to steal a picture from Lori's blog as soon as she post hers, I had forgotten my camera. :)

UPDATE-here's the pic!

Next day, we watched the conference, then we went to Nick and Corie's for Easter Egg Hunt. Our boys had a great time. After the hunt, we also had another baby blessing for Corie's baby...Elizabeth. It was nice. All the boys, 12 and up went to the conference after the blessing.

Nick and Corie with their children-

Picture of us in our Easter outfits...I made these matching ties and a skirt.-

On Sunday, we watched conference and went over to my parents for the afternoon session. We had another Easter Egg Hunt at their house. They got some more yummy treats and other stuff.
