Happy Birthday to Me

2009-04-15T10:45:00.000-07:00

Thanks for the birthday wishes today. Whit, thanks for what you said, I love being your brother, as I love being all my siblings older brother. It is a lucky and wonderful spot to be in, in the order of family members.

Just so you know, raising our children has been the most wonderful thing in my life second only to marrying Robin.

Some wisdom from me as I am now a year older.

Cherish life, don't waste your time, be happy, be friendly, enjoy other's company, take time alone and meditate, ponder and pray, share your thoughts with others that they might learn from your experiences, don't think you are better than anyone no matter what they do or how they live their life, choose right over wrong always, show your love for those you love, be true to your beliefs and convictions, strive to be better every day.

Those are the thoughts that came to me, most of which I try to do and be. I notice people that try to live these or other good attributes. I can tell people that just don't care.

I appreciate you all, and love you,

Happy Birthday to me, and to you when it's your turn!
Sean

Go speed racer!!!!

2009-04-09T22:03:00.000-07:00

Well, it happened. I don't think it suprised Robin or I, but Jase got a speeding ticket. Can you say Dumb! We warn, and warn, and explain, and warn, and explain, and beg, and get reports from others, and explain.....and he keeps speeding by. Well he got tagged by officer ticke giver yesterday going 47 in our neighborhood down the long curve.

Robin and I drove there tonight and had a hard time getting to 47. Robin called the cop and talked to him tonight, and he explained that he really was going 47 and he could have arrested him and charged him. Luckely he gave him a civil citation that he can go to traffic school for and it won't show up on his record.

So, what do you do in a situation like this. He's a good kid. The officer even said so, but he just won't get it through his thick skull that we know things. I can't believe I was the same way!!! lol. Why do we do this as youngsters? We don't really listen to what those who have been through it before, and hear what they have to say. We don't take advantage of the experiences and the consequences that our elders went through. We have to experience some things on our own no matter what was said to us.

Really, please, share with me what we should do, how do we teach these lessons. Take the car away? how long? will that actually work? I resent ever being on restriction? Open for suggestions.It probably doesnt' help that we have him driving a bright red car!

Hey, have a great week,
sean

Been a long time

2009-04-04T22:51:00.001-07:00

Hello all,
If anyone cares or even looks, I feel bad we have not posted in a long time. I have very active on Facebook lately, and have had to limit my time on the computer. Partly because my wife keeps track of how much time I spend in it, and the other part is that I just don't have the time.

Time was one of the subjects my Grandpa Dunn used to lecture me about. He would say "Seany, time is one of the things we can't make up", and then he would explain that time is precious, and we have a limited amount of it each day, and to make the best of it.

As I get older, time is going faster. I have more to do during the day, and it feels like less time to do it in. I also notice our children are getting older at a more rapid rate than before. I now understand why my Grandpa was so concerned about telling me about time. He understood the concept that it goes faster and faster the older we get.

I have loved being a father and raising these wonderful children. We now have a 16 year old that drives and dates, down to a 2 year old that wants to play basketball, and 4 others inbetween that have so many wants and desires and personality traits, and the need of my time. Don't get me wrong, I love giving my time to them and enjoy doing things with them. Even if it's just watching the jump on the trampoline, or wrestle on the floor, or sit around eating dinner and listening to them discuss the day, or friends, or whatever comes to their minds. I just wish the time didn't go so fast. Jase will be going on a mission in less than 3 years now. Rilee could be married in 5 years if she gets married when Robin got married!!! Crazy to think of this! The reality, so little time to do so much.

Moral of the story, enjoy every minute we have with whomever we have. Kids, spouse, parents, grandparents, loved ones, friends. First, we never know when that time will be up, and second, the time can not be made up!

Love life as it happens, work hard to make it good, but love it as it goes along! Those we spend the time with will appreciate it as we appreciate them spending their time with us.

Have a good week,
Sean

Christmas in California

2009-01-11T22:06:00.000-08:00

Christmas for our family was a lot of fun! We drove out to California a couple days before Christmas Day, and went straight to my family's party held at a church building. This was new for my Mom and Dad, but it worked out very well. We had a great time being together, and the kids had a wonderful time running around and playing.

Christmas Eve we spent with Robin's family at her sister Shelli's house. She loves to cook, and had a wonderful dinner for us all. We had most of Robin's family and her Aunt and Uncle's family. It was nice visiting with all of them. We don't see them that often.

And here we are Christmas morning, in the Hill's home, a little different for us this year being away from our house. We had a great time though. This year, Christmas was a little less for our family. The kids were fine with this and I think understood why. It actually needs to be how it is every year, a little less for us, and maybe a little more for others.

And, what's Chrismas vacation without surfing down at Newport Beach!!! They froze their butts off, but they had fun.

All the kids had a great time being with cousins. This was one of the many happy times during our vacation. We miss all of the family and our friends we don't live by, even the ones we didn't see this year. This made Christmas very special for us this year, even though it was all different for us this year.

So, one great late Christmas present was the news from Eric and Bri, about her blood test. The numbers were very good. We are still praying that a miricle will continue, and that Brianna will have a full recovery. We wish all the best for Eric and Brianna and their wonderful and beautiful family that they have created.

May all the choicest blessings be with all, as we start this new year!

Fun times

2008-12-14T21:53:00.000-08:00

First off, this is Delaney's invention, the Wash-N-Drop. We made a model out of wood and Pepsi cans. You put the clothes in the washer at the top, when done, they drop into the dryer, when done they drop into the basket washed! Anyway, chalk up another project for Dad and child!

And here we have Clay discovering how fun the trampoline is. He trys to get on every chance he can get anyone to open the back door. What a crack up to watch him too. He loves bouncing around in circles

And then Robin joined the party, and had fun with the static in the hair! As you can see she kept rubbing Clay's head on the trampoline to make his hair stick up, but it did it to hers as well. Lots of laughing! No this is not abuse, she's not banging his head or anything, just having fun!

Everyone, have a good week, enjoy the holiday. Make this year different, spend time with your family. Read and tell stories each night together this week, or pick some service acts you can do together as a family. Finally, read about the Savior each night. Pick stories of him healing and teaching. Do all this as families, and involve others too. I think if we all do this, we will have a more meaningful Christmas this year. Make it different from last year, make is special. The economy is not good this year. Many are cutting back on presents. What a great opportunity to do it differently.

Have fun and merry Christmas!

Sean

Three Posts-check them all out, had to catch up!

2008-12-07T22:07:00.000-08:00

Here are some fun videos of family time!

Classic family fun. We miss everyone, and look forward to going to Cali for Christmas. It will be fun to be with our family and friends. Please keep us in your prayers, as I am trying to get a job that just opened up with a medical supply company. It would be really good for our family.

Have a good week.

2008-12-07T21:35:00.000-08:00

This makes us laugh. The kids are like Jared, telling Clay to say things that sound

like other things!

2008-12-07T21:17:00.000-08:00

A lot has gone on since Halloween, so here are just some shots of the family hanging out.

Clay kissing Mom, Cole loving his potatos, Clay eating on his own

Ansley at the table probably being funny, and Delaney in her school program.

Clay getting a ride, and Rilee at her swim banquet

and Jase at the dive banquet. It looks like Dad took all the pix...

Everyone is doing great and busy. Ansley is playing soccer for the Jr High, and they have playoffs this week. She has been a great player. Rilee is getting started with the High School team. Rec soccer is over for the season, yea, and we are trying to get ready for Christmas.

New November Old October

2008-11-08T23:15:00.000-08:00

It's finally getting cold....colder! We are down in the 70's during the day, which is nice, and in the 50's at night. We actually opened our windows to cool the house off instead of running the a/c. Desert living!

Here are some pictures of Halloween to end October on. We had a fun party at our house. Had several people come and enjoy food with us and then go out trick-or-treating. We enjoy the friends we have.

So poor Delaney was sick all day, and barely crawled out of bed and put her pirate outfit on. She did not eat, but did try and walk the block. About 3/4 of the way, she puked on our neighbors lawn. Came home and went back to bed. Totally sad!

Then on Sunday, we had BJ and John over. We haven't seen them in a long time. It was fun. We also had Starks and Farnsworths, and Raymonds over for Cake and Ice Cream for Rilee. She is now 15!

Here we have Delaney playing with the camera, then Clay on the bunk beds that got moved into his room. He thought it was pretty cool. Then, clay hiding, and last but not least, Rilee blowing out the candles. We are so proud of you Rilee, you got all of them on the first blow!

Have a great week everybody,

The New President

2008-11-04T21:00:00.000-08:00

Me watching the polls reporting.....I am not happy in this picture!

OK, here's my take. I'm not happy by any means about the Presidency. However, I do have to still respect the office. If we don't, it will diminish in its power. BUT, we still have our rights as Americans which we should always hold dear to us. We have the right of free speech, of which we can speak out. We have the right to vote, of which we can vote anyone in office out. President Elect Obama had better do what he said he is going to do. For we as Americans will be watching, and waiting. My personal feelings are that he will fail just like Carter. His ideas are not good. His ideas are dangerous, and will lead to failure in many ways.

I am OK that he is a black man. In fact I think America should be proud that a black man can achieve this level of accomplishment. I hope others will learn from this, that he worked his butt of to get where he is. I think he worked his way up in a corrept Chicago government, but he did work hard. I believe the color of one's skin should make no difference. It all matters what is in the heart and mind.

OK, we have 2 years to get the Senate back and the House back. Remember this as we vote in 2 years for some of the seats. And then in 4 years, we will have the opportunity to vote for a new President as well as more new Senators and Representatives.

Please be smart when you vote. Please don't vote on your emotions. Listen to the words and see the actions. I read a comment tonight that says "Obama is like country music. It sounds good until you listen to the words".

Clay after we voted today...he had to have the sticker!

Good night everybody, and good luck.

Cherish the Moments

2008-10-29T20:03:00.000-07:00

Familly and Friends,

We have some frieds that were in our ward, but are not anymore because of a ward split. We just hear the most terrible news, that their 7 month old daughter has stage 4 cancer. What a blow to a family to bring a beautiful little child into the world, and then that fast have a chance to lose her.

President Monson taught us so perfectly this last conference to live in the moment. The Mom in this family commented on her blog how they had a park day last Saturday, and went and played at the park as a family. This was before they found out about their daughter. She said she watched as her husband played with their boys as they ran down the hill. She told of how their daughter lit up anytime her dad walked into the room with her. She mentioned how great it was and how she was able to basically count her blessings of the opportunity to be parents and to have such beautiful children.

How wonderful to have had that experience. How sad to have the one they are in now.

So my thoughts...we need to listen to all that the Prophet and other leaders teach us. We need to listen in our prayers, and what we are being asked to do. And we really do need to live in the moment. Not that we don't plan for the future or learn from the past, but living in the moment lets us enjoy every stage of life, every experience, and have those experiences tucked away as memories that we can cherish always.

I appreciate and love my family, and will be trying harder to live in the moment. I extend to all of you, the same council from President Monson, live in the moment.

Have a good week, and have fun on Halloween night. Be with your family, and have fun. Even you Dad's, step up and be a bigger part of your kids days. I'm going to do the same.

Busy Weekend

2008-10-26T19:36:00.000-07:00

Rilee was on the swim team this year, and ended up swimming the longest race, the 500 free. It's 20 pool lengths, and she was 12th at regionals, and moved up to 10th after finals. Sadly, they only took the top 8 to state competition. Next year!

And of course we have soccer. Usually 5 games on Saturday. Today we just had 1. Cole played Thursday, the girls played Friday night and Jase didn't play today. Anyway here is Delaney taking charge of throwing the ball back in the game. Notice how they run after the ball no matter what position they play?

Here is Clay enjoying the game. This is a very rare shot of Clay sitting still. This never happens.

Jase went to Home Coming with Jessica and a bunch of friends. They all went in the van, went to dinner and then to the dance. They had a great time. Crazy that he is this old and doing these things. Check out the shoes on Jase. Grandpa Dave's old top siders, yes light blue, dark blue and white. Jase took them last time in California, thinks they are the coolest shoes in the world.

Last but not least, Clay has learned a new trick. Escaping from the crib. Here we go...The other night he woke up, got out and ran into the door of his room because it was dark. So now we make sure the door is wide open.

Just some of our events this last weekend. Always something going on. I know there is a lot going on in your lives too. Just remember to cherish the moments. It's hard sometimes since we are focused on income and diffenent things. Don't take advantage what we have in life. Have a good week.

Sean

You Have Got to Watch these videos!

2008-10-21T22:12:00.000-07:00

I found this on the camera, and just had to share with you what we get on a daily basis around here. Never a dull moment. It's funny, one minute they are bugging each other and picking at each other, and the next they do things like this and look like they are best friends. Hope you enjoy.

And the oldest geek of the family was a cheerleader for the powder puff football game. I thought I had a better picture of him showing his socks and shorts, but you can get the idea what he looked like with the headband.

Here you go, our oldest in action. Wow what a great bunch of fun kids. We are so proud! I look forward to your comments.

And here he is again...

Temple trip with Grandma and Grandpa Warner...started in Las Vegas, then to St. George, spent the
night with the Monsons. Then went to Manti, then on up to Provo. Went to the Provo Temple, then
the next day to Mt. Timpanogus, Jordan River, and Salt Lake City. Then on Saturday they went
to conference to the afternoon session. Then the boys went to Priesthood session. lots of fun and
320 baptisms. Grandpa Dave did all the baptisms and didn't complain. Actually he only complained
about the kids at night not going to bed, and having ice fights.
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for a great trip!

Things going on...

2008-10-17T20:31:00.000-07:00

Cole, Jase and I want motorcycle riding the other day. The kids were still out of school, and Cole has been begging me for a couple weeks to take them. We had a good time, though it wasn't long enough.

Then the three of us went to the lake with the Craigs and went wakeboarding. Of cours, I took the pictures, so there is not one of me. But I did wakeboard too.

School is back in session this week, which is a good thing. We get so tired during breaks because the kids nover go to bed! Nice to have them going to bed on time again. Robin and I actually have some time at the end of the day to watch tv and talk.

Hope all is well for everyone, have a good week.

Sean

Two postst today-please read on

Cole teaching Clay the proper place for a boy, and the things to know how to fix a motorcycle!

Making brownies in the kitchen. You can see everyone's part in the system!

And Jase is in his normal position!!!

Fun in the Family Room

2008-10-12T20:57:00.000-07:00

Some shots of the Geeks!

Just having some fun! This is one of those times 6 kids is a good number!!!

Can someone tell me how to get the pictures side by side instead of one on top of the other. I just shoot from the hip on this stuff.

So an update on the diet...I did it for 8 days. I was supposed to do it for 10 but couldn't take it anymore. I craved the taste of something other than lemonaid! Funny thing is I really was never hungry from not eating since the lemonaid fills you up, but my sense of smell was increased and I could smell all kinds of great smells and they were always from food. So I got back to food. For the first day however, my food was orange juice instead of lemonaid. On the second day, dinner was soup broth, soup from scratch, which was all vegies no meat. Third day was back to food and I had a burrito which gave me heart burn. Anyway, I'm back to all food now, but I don't drink soda anymore and I'm trying to cut out the fast food. Good experience!

So two more days off and the kids will be back in school. Sometimes these breaks are too long. It messes up our getting up time and going to bed time.

All are invited to our yearly Halloween party at our house. Also, we are staying here for Thanksgiving again this year, and extend an invite to any family in California that would like to come out and stay with us. This is unoficial, but it's extended to everyone. Amy and Ken are going to Utah, and I'm not sure what Jillian and Todd are doing. We heard some talk that some people would like to come out, so we are inviting.

Have a good week all!

2008-10-08T20:24:00.001-07:00

OK, just want to clear this up. I, Sean, wrote the last entry. I am the one being cleansed! (I am so craving food.) Robin is thinking about it. I am now down about 10 pounds, but I think I'm done. 7 days of no food so far, and tomorrow I really can't eat anything except soup broth. It was worth it though, I feel much better, lighter and healthier.
Later

Fall break to California

2008-10-07T22:19:00.000-07:00

Well, the kids have 2 weeks off for fall break, so we went to California. Mainly to take the van to my Mom and Dad. They took our 4 oldest and a cousin to Utah to go to conference. On the way they went to several temples and did baptisms at each one they visited. Thanks Mom and Dad, awesome trip! So Robin, Delaney and Clay stayed in Brea and visited family and friends and went to Sea World. Me...what did I do...oh yeah, I drove out with them and stayed a couple days and flew home. Someone has to work so they can play! Can I tell you, I was bored to death. While being bored, I decided to take Uncle Jimmy's challenge to do the Master Cleanse and cleanse my body. I have gone 6 days with no food, except for a special lemonade and herbal tea. The tea is called "Smooth Move", I will let you figure out what it's for. So, I have lost about 8 pounds, my sense of smell is much more sensitive, and I crave food. Strangely I am not really hungry, just crave tastes. Oh well, I'm trying to do it for 10 days. Jimmy just finished and did it for 18 days. Crazy.

Everyone add Delaney's new blog to your list. She is very excited and would love comments.

How's that for bloggin in a timely manner. These were all taken on Sunday. We had Grandma and Grandpa for the weekend. Bun times. They went to all the soccer games and church with us. Then we had the Starks and Jillian over for dinner. We celebrated Berkley's birthday together. Robin got home safely last night. We comunicate so well after 20 years of marriage. She told me 8:55, so we were at the airport at 8:55. Well, she meant 8:55 was when her plane took off! So we sat around and waited.....OK, see you all later, please send me comments, then I know someone is looking.

Dude!

2008-09-17T09:51:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry I'm not bloggin enough for you guys. Robin never adds anything, and my kids have their own, so they won't do it, and someone has to work around here so everyone else can play!!!

By the way, how did you know we posted so fast? I'm blog chalenged you know!

OK, so Robin is on her way this afternoon to Catalina Island to meet all her BYU friends. It's a new annual thing. They are staying at the Haars house over there. Oh, and she just got back from Detroit. She went to a convention there, and had a great time.

Jase is on the dive team, yes he wears a Spedo. He is pretty good, not great yet, but improving. He keeps placing in the middle of the guys that are competing. Having fun driving and girls.

Rilee is on the swim team, swims a few different events, has fun doing it, not the fastest, but she's only a Freshman. She has a couple guys that like her. It's fun to watch her try and avoid all that.

Ansley is a cheerleader for the Jr. High. She loves it, and she's the smallest so she gets to be lifted.

Cole is the VP of his school. I'm not sure what that means, and I don't think he knows either, but it gives him a title.

Delaney is growing like a weed, has lots of friends, and won't sleep in her own bed. Everynight the girls have a slumber party in the other room.

Clay is growing and saying a few words, thinks he's pretty cool. Of course we all support that notion. He gets to go with Robin and stay with Aunt Trish this weekend.

All the kids just started soccer again, looking forward to the 5 games each Saturday!

Me, I'm just working, trying once again to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing in life. If you have any suggestions, please pass them along.

Hey everyone, just a few new photos. Here are some of the Boy! Robin and I went to Utah for a few days, and the kids all stayed with friends and Jillian. When we returned, Clay did the same thing all our kids did when we would go away. As soon as he saw us he smiled and then started crying, as if to say "How Dare you leave me!!!"

Anyway, we are back, and he is OK now. Here are some pics of the Boy playing Piano, and the Girl (Delany) being cute. While we were gone, she had her 8th birthday. We will have a party for her later, and she will be baptized over Memorial Weekend. We are proud of her.

Hope all is well with for everyone,

2008-04-21T17:06:00.000-07:00

Who am I????

2008-04-20T21:54:00.000-07:00

OK folks, it's time to say a few words. Robin and I just went to a parenting fireside and learned all we need to know to combat the teenagers! They had better watch out!!! And so should anyone that has or will have teenagers in the future. Be prepared!

We appreciate the nice words sent our way regarding the shop fire. It is a crazy thing, one that I never dreamed would or could ever happen to me. We are adding it to our list of things that happen to give us strength, and I'm trying to learn from it.

Anyway, appreciate the words and help.

We miss everyone, look forward to vacation time, and the summer when we will see you all.

Thanksgiving

2007-11-24T12:32:00.000-08:00

We are halfway through the weekend and having a great time. Great Grandma, Grandpa and Grandma Dave and Cathy, the Baily's, and Ashley and Jeff came out from California. We also had the Starks, and the Farnsworths over for dinner and fesivities. We have miniature golfed, eaten, played cards, eaten more, gone to the Temple, eaten even more, and also eaten!

We miss the Jared Warners, and the Christian Warners, and Whitney being here with us. We heard Jared and Christian and families got together in So Cal, had a great time, and not sure what Whitney did, but we thought of all of them as we sat down together to eat.

Whitney, we are sorry we havn't kept up with our blog, we enjoy visiting yours, and understand you would like to see what's up with all of us.

We will add pictures in the next day or two of the fun times.

Till then, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Remember, one thing to be thankful for is our country, and the right to vote. I will play Grandpa Dunn and remind and encourage to be informed, and to vote your choice. Remember how he would do this all the time. Also remember what he fought for in WWII.

Fall Break for the Warners

2007-10-18T16:48:00.000-07:00

Our break is over but I have to say, we had a great time. Our school district has 2 1/2 weeks off in October and I love it because the weather is so nice during October. The first week we stayed at home at got appointments and other things done. The second week is when the fun began. Jase and Rilee went to Nauvoo with their Grandma Cathy. They are very lucky to have that experience. They left on Monday morning and returned the following Sunday. They had a blast with Grandma and loved everything they were able to see. I have a feeling Grandma Cathy was able to be a teenager for a week. Rilee and Jase had her laughing quite a bit. We appreciate grandma and her willingness to teach and take time with our her grandchildren.

The rest of us, except for Sean who stayed home to work because someone has to work so we can play, left Monday morning for San Diego. We we fortunate to stay at my BYU friends house, Mindy Thomas for Monday night. Our kids had a blast together! We knew they would. We went out to dinner and hung out. Tuesday we went to Seaworld. Mindy and my sister Melanie met us there. I had Cole, Ansley, Delaney, and cousin Zach. I was lucky because my sister in law kept Clay for the day. We were able to do so much more and so much faster. It was a great day of shows and rides. Cole, Zachary and Ansley got to do the interaction with the dolphins. It was Coles present from his grandma. They had a blast. We had fun with Dalton, London, Ryder and Tanner. They all loved the shows. We left there and spent the night at Heather and Jareds. It was a short visit but we had fun. Heather did a notebook project with my kids that they loved and have been adding to it ever since. Great idea Heather!! She is very creative and patient with the kids. Loved being at there house!!

Wednesday we went up to Brea and visited with Great Grandma Dunn. First we picked up the Bailey kids at school. They went with us to visit Grandma. It is always great to see Grandma. She is such a great example to all of us. Later we visited at Grandma Sues. We saw the bride to be, Susan, and Dan. Trisha and her kids were there to greet us. That night we stayed at Templins. Aren't we lucky to have so much family!! Thursday was a blast, we went to Knotts Berry Farm. We went with Joan and Larry , Kristi Raymond, Cassie and Connor, Templins, Ewings, and Camie and Caden Stephen. The park was empty and it was a beautiful day. We love the rides and excitement. Later that night we picked up Sean to join us on our trip. It is always nice to have dad!!! He had all the kids on Friday so I could meet up with my sisters, Samie, Kalee, cousins, aunt and mom for breakfast and than a few more hours so I could shop with Trisha. He was a good dad and played football, took them to lunch, park and slurpees. I don't know why the kids want to be with him more????

Other highlights were of course the Wedding, Susan and Dans wedding was great. Everything was so pretty and we had a great time dancing and seeing friends. We are happy to have Dan in our family. The kids are always a great gage and they all love him to death. It was fun to be with all of the Hill cousins. A little crazy and wild at times. Susan and Dan are now enjoying 10 days in Hawaii. Lucky them. We got to see Sadie and James play soccer, spend some time with Grandma Sue on Sunday and had dinner at the Warners with all the cousins. We ever snuck a couple of teeth cleanings in on Monday morning. Great trip and we love to go back and visit and see everyone. I'm pretty sure everyone is glad this is the first time I have blogged, and it will probably not happen again for a while. I will learn how to shorten but we did have a busy week. Glad school is back in but thankful for the great time off and vacation to visit everyone. Have a great week!

Back from the River

2007-09-16T19:48:00.001-07:00

Robin and I went to the Colorado River this weekend on a couples trip with several friends and family. We had a great time and enjoyed being away for a couple days together. We both got some wakeboarding in as well, and are both sore from it! The kids stayed home and were watched by Whitney and Dominic. They did a great job and the kids had a blast with them. Clay had a hard time figuring out what it all meant when we got home and who we were. He is now warming back up to us. The kids had such a great time,,,, we have to apologize to those who got the toilet paper attacks! We have created monsters by taking them when they were younger. Now the minute they see a chance they jump at it. Anyway, my advise is to get away every once in awhile. It's great fun and healthy!
Thanks again Whit and Dom!!!!!

this weekend me and ansley went to peoria to visit our two bff's that we have known since we were born ( they lived by us in california). on saturday we went to the mall and tried on dresses at windsor, dillards, macys and norstroms. we got in trouble at windsor because they were very MEAN! so we went to dillards, that was very fun. they didnt care what we did, because they were all OLD! then we went to norstom and macys. that was OK. we didnt buy anything because we dont have any money. then that night we went tp-ing. then on sunday we went to their ward and after she had a presidency meeting that i went to. that was super boring. then an OLD leader took us home, and went ALL the way around the flipin mountain, which took 45 min. then she took us to the wrong house, so we pretended it was our house, and then when she left, we had to walk 3 blocks to her REAL house. we were cracking up!! then my mom and dad picked us up. thats all.
(Jill: idk my bff rose. dragonflies!!!)

All i did this week was swim, go to dance and school. the classes im taking right now are, all stars company with 4 other girls and the oldest one in the group is 14 years old so im the youngest, lyrical, jazz, musical theatre, tap, ballet, tumbleing, im doing a solo, a trio, and a production number, so get really tired in school. School is going good im in 6th grade at Payne Junior High. My teacher is very weird and hiper, her name is Mrs. Richter she is really, really weird. But she is the best teacher ever!!!! She is in love with SpongeBob and Napoleon Dynamite. And thats pretty much what i did this week. see you later!!!!!!

So the week is going fast.It's amazing how you get home from church and the next thing you know it's almost Friday again, looking forward to the weekend. I just got roped into, I mean volunteered to coach Rilee's soccer team again this year. It should be a lot of fun, and something scheduled that I have to be at. Jase is healing fine, at least the arm. The head is a different story! He seems more stuborn, more of a pain in the butt, and teases more than he used to. Clay is almost crawling, he keeps leaning on all fours, but then sits back up. He acts like he's going to take off running, and then chickens out. It's fun to watch him. Ansley and Delaney have started dance again, and they love it. Ansley goes about 500 hours a week, apperantly is a "Natural" according to her instructors. I think it's just a good way to get more money out of us. Cole ran for President of his school, didn't make it though. In his speach he told the kids "He would make their wildest dreams come true". I don't know why he didn't win? Rilee ran for VP, and won for the 8th drade. I probably shouldn't tell you no one else ran. Oh well, we are still proud that she did it. Robin is keeping everything running smooth. I get told what's going on in a day, and cower at the thought. She just keeps going, and adds the kids friends along the way. It's a good thing we got the van!

Later to all (or any)

Yes, this is #6 child and this is his first portrait. Tons of snapshots but it took a while to get the formal one done. He is full of life and keeps us all smiling.

New to this stuff

2007-08-20T09:13:00.000-07:00

Hey,

To whoever reads this, this is new for our family. We enjoy reading all the other family blogs, and thought we should join in. Actually, Ansley can't stand that we aren't doing something that other people are doing. So hear we are. The first entry is from Ansley, in her own words explaining about our family. She has a problem with our van, and has a hard time getting rides in it. She is very concerned with the appearance of things. Rilee wrote the second entry, and has a funny way about her, if you could only hear her read out loud what she wrote, it would sound funny.

Everyone else will have to contribute later. It will be a family assignment! We want to hear back from you, so please comment on our entries. We feel lonely out hear sometimes, and enjoy hearing from family and friends.

We will also post pictures so you see what everyone looks like, and see the funny shots of everyday life.

Take care, we miss you,
Sean
