Twilight Camp 2009

June 2009

Cub Scout Camp (a.k.a. Twilight Camp) was a blast this year. I went everyday with the boys and got to watch as they had all the fun. It was Monday Through Friday from 4pm until 8pm. There is a lot of work that goes into planning this and I am very appreciative to all those who volunteer so that this can happen. I feel that Twilight Camp is the highlight of my boys cub scouting experience...they look forward to it all year long.

Lincoln 3rd Ward's Father and Son Campout 2009

The Strawberry Patch

I think we planted our strawberries in April and were hoping

to have a nice Summer Treat once in a while, but so far we've

only gotten a few baskets. I hope they come in with a vengeance

in the Spring, but I'm not holding my breath. Our problem

could be the wild turkeys that have been hanging around. They've

eaten all the grapes and berries almost before they were even big

enough to see. We haven't seen them in the strawberries, but

that doesn't mean they weren't there. It took a while to plant

all of these plants (over 900). My sister Kellie and the neighbors

(Matthew, Juliana, and Susan Anderson) came to help along with

Grandma and Grandpa Sullivan, Aaron, myself, and all the kids.

Needless to say, our backs and knees were sore for a few days.

Rockwell Lane Work Party

I put this page together a while back but never posted it.

We love where we live and are lucky to have such great

neighbors. It is now time to have another work party...

it's the price we pay for living in the country.

Super-Sprint Triathalon ~ August 2009

Okay, I'm getting a little faster at putting my pages together, but I still need help with my vision...ie...I should have known that these colors together would look like Christmas. If I were more of a perfectionist I'd probably spend the time to change it, but...I'm not : )...what you see is what you get!

About Us

Life is Crazy, Fun, Exciting, Interesting, Frustrating, Intense, Amazing, Discouraging, Encouraging, Hopeful, Overwhelming, and Wonderful, but it is definitely not Boring. I love being married to Aaron and take comfort in the knowledge that we are a forever family. We have been blessed with four exceptional children and I thank God for them every day.

Matthew (Matt) is our eldest and is a very smart boy. He loves working with his hands just like his dad. He is a hard worker and is always willing to help out. He enjoys going to Boy Scouts and has had a great time going on camp outs with his troop.

Ammon is our second son and he baffles us with his ability to figure things out. If we need help with computers, cell phones, ipods, or other electronics, we ask him, and he is usually able to figure it out. He excels in school and is a joy to have in our home. Ammon is in cub scouts and is looking forward to the annual pinewood derby.

Amalie is our first daughter and she is very crafty. She loves making flowers for her hair and sewing things for her stuffed animals and dolls. She also loves to cook and help mom in the kitchen. She enjoys playing with peoples hair and has become quite good at braiding.

Zoie is our youngest and definitely our biggest mess maker. Her little mind never stops. She loves to be read to and would spend all day with a book...I'm looking forward to the time when she can read all by herself. She is our snuggle bug and loves to give and get hugs and kisses. She is very outgoing and makes new friends wherever she goes.

Aaron is the best husband and father. The kids love it when he plays games with them (even though he never lets them win). After work he often jumps on the trampoline, plays tickle time out, or just watches as the kids show him things they've done that day. He enjoys reading to the kids almost every night before they go to sleep. He has developed a new hobie/talent during the past few years--when he's not working on the business, he can often be found on the computer doing some videography. You'll have to check out some of his postings on youtube.

We are truly blessed...we have always had what we need, mainly because Aaron is such a hard worker (but I believe faith is involved too). I love Aaron and am grateful to have him as my husband. I keep myself busy working in the kids classes at school and am trying to run an efficient home. I enjoy trying out new recipes, reading, exercising, and spending time with the kids. I look forward each week (or sometimes every other week) to when Aaron and I get to go out (date night) and spend time with each other. I love my family and do this blog as a gift to them. Life is Great!
