She graduated from a brownie over to a Junior. Not really sure what all that means, but all I know is, it's just another sign of her growing up! It was a cute hawaiin ceremony-wish I could have gotten some better pics of her but she would NOT smile in any picture I took her her!! (grr!) And the pic's I did grab were blurry as heck! ....thinking it's time for a new camera...a GOOD camera! Congrats Alexa!! Congrats Troop 567!<br />

Easter has been a Camping ritual with us for the last 7 years, with the exception of a few missed years here and there. This year was special though, we had the chance to spend 2 1/2 full days with our kids with NO interruption from cell phones, TV, internet, etc. You never realize how much time you lose with your family when these things become so normal everyday. We also had the chance to spend time with our dear friends, The Ludwigs, who we don't get to see very often. I would have to say this was the BEST camping trip we've had yet!<br />
<br />
So, every year Robin does a Fear Factor game with all the camping kids (there's alot!) and our kids have never really competed because they were either too young or too scared. Well, guess what? The twins participated this year, in EVERYTHING!! This was the <i>funniest</i> Fear Factor I've yet to witness!! Proud to say that my little chillens won some dough....Tyler came in 2nd place and won $20 and Alexa came in 6th place and won $10!! Great job kiddos!!<br />

Ya, the kids too! But see that Camper?? Yep, that's the best. <i>Thanks to Billy Ludwig & Ralph! </i> Remember that ugly old camper we salvaged from a neighbor last year?? Well, that <i>was</i> our family project for some time to fix it up, but when Billy made the offer to trade trailers we jumped at the opportunity!! It makes camping amazing!!</div>

Yes, this will make the 9th time in 6 years! This move was the last string for us, we've made a promise that we will NOT be moving again until the next move is in our OWN home! <i>Crossing our fingers this will be January 2013!</i> Everyone was excited to move this time though, moving in to town was a huge bonus for our family! We LOVE it! <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We recently had a HUGE snow storm right after we moved in, a storm like I have never experienced here in Flagstaff! Needless to say, the kiddos had a snow day and we all had a blast watching them play hard in the snow! The first day, the twins played outside for a solid 4 hours with the neighbor kids building underground igloos with hallways and everything!! Creative little buggers! FUN times!! </div>

I don't know anything else to say other then I LOVE FLAGSTAFF! It's a beautiful place to live!</div>Traceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17262912248644978132noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1427155365841350261.post-47565220284744256592012-03-31T18:22:00.001-07:002012-03-31T18:22:20.648-07:00Another Year Older...Kyla just celebrated her 14th Birthday last weekend! (Ack!!) I'm not really sure what happens exactly when you go from 13 to 14 overnight, I mean it's not like I've ever been that age before or anything, but something really major seems to happen. It starts the dreaded countdown!!......"1 more year until I can get my permit"....."2 more years until I will get to drive MYSELF ANYwhere I want to go".....and..."4 more years until I'm 18 and I can be an ADULT and do ANYthing I want to do"!! It's almost as if they age about 10 years overnight, if that's even possible. If only kids today could understand that as adults we'de give just about ANYTHING to go back a few years in the age pool! Even though a part of my heart breaks to see my sweet little girl growing up, I'm somewhat looking forward to the day that she can experience all the really cool things life has to offer. But for now, I'm completely thrilled that she's still <u>my</u> little girl for the next 4 years!! I guess you could say <i>My </i>countdown begins now....enjoy it before it's gone!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Happy Birthday to my beautiful sweet Kyla! You're an amazing kid and we love you so much! There's so much I can say about you but the things that stick out the most are luckily some of your greatest qualities. You are your mother's daughter, stubborn as all could be, but you stand your ground for what you believe, no matter what! You can fight like crazy but your heart is ALWAYS with those who you love and those who love you. Your heart is filled with so much compassion, you love your family fiercely and it shows in the little things you do. These things say so much about ones character, you should be so proud of the young lady you are growing in to. We love you so much and even if we have rough patches along the way, I'm so honored to be your mother. Me & Dad love you SO much!!!! </div>

She LOVES it! She's been in Girl Scouts now for several months and it's been one of the best experiences she's had so far. Much appreciation goes out to their Troop leaders because these ladies do SOOOO much with these girls! Not sure how they keep up! Alexa's been able to be a part of some really cool adventures so far, she's really looking forward to going Flying this upcoming month as well as being able to go to her first Girl Scout summer camp this June!! MY favorite part is selling & buying the coooooooooookies!! Yum-Yum!! I've developed a love-hate relationship with those dang cookies!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

(So far, it seems to be an epic fail)<div>
We got to spend Thanksgiving, 2011, in Minnesota with all the Larsons & Pietan/VanderLouw's. Old man winter was nice enough to stay away long enough for us to have an absolutely gorgeous visit there! Weather was nice and perfect, unusually warm! It was an awesome time getting to spend the holiday with the family we never get to see, for Ty it was especially important that he spend this holiday with his Grandma who he hasn't seen in years. Below are some pictures of our time spent on the Larson Farm and our mini reunion with the Morgan/Pietan/VanderLouw's.</div>

It was a total surprise for the kiddos, they were SO excited to be able to go! The weather couldn't have been more perfect! Funny thing is, in every single picture someone looks miserable, why is that?! <br />
<br />
It was a great trip, but a stressful one! Alexa was so scared to go on any rides, which blew our minds because last time we went she was on every single ride with no fear!! At one point she had about $15 in bribes from ALL of us to get on the water ride, lol! Did she get on it?? Yep! Man, that Alexa is a smart little girl!<br />

Seriously, I CLEANED house this week at Fry's. I have the thought in the back of my head that Spring break/camping season is right around the corner so I figured I would stockpile some quick easy foods to last until summer.<br />
<br />
***Keep in mind, I<em><strong> DID</strong></em> buy junkfood, but those raviolis are <strong><em>NOT</em></strong> something I buy my kids often and will last us about a year, especially since the don't expire until 12/2013!! OH, and they were only $0.09 each!!!<br />

Not shown are the 2 breyers ice creams. My favorites: hefty sandwich bags for $0.19, 19 raviolis for $0.09, 5 80ft reynolds foil for $1.69. All the candy & toothepaste were free!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

We got it free from some friends of ours (I LOVE FREE) they so graciously donated this beauty to us since it was taking way too much room in their backyard. We were thrilled to receive it and to start the renovations. It was in pretty icky shape once we got it, but after a week of cleaning & gutting, it's starting to look pretty gosh darn good! Not to mention, fully loaded!<br />
<br />
What was intended to be "Ty's Project" has evolved into a "Family Project". The kids have all helped and had fun while doing so! The girls spent the day sanding the floors and cleaning it with us, can't wait till it's in camping shape. We'll post pics once its done ;)<br />

Ty built me these awesome shelves last weekend and we were finally able to empty all the closets, cupboards, shelves and other areas I had stuff accumulated. Don't be fooled, I still have mass quantities of food inside my pantry and tons of toiletries in my closets still, but for now this is all the room I have to store.<br />
<br />
Crazy? Maybe... Smart? Definetly! Wanna know why? Because everything I bought for my food storage, I did with coupons! I am a religious follower of 'The Krazy Coupon Lady', recently she was featured on the TLC show Extreme Couponing (hopefully you watched it). She has taught me so much and I'm so glad I have learned how to stretch my dollar, spend less & buy more! If you aren't a couponer, I encourage you to do so. BUT, you have to do it the right way and match the coupons with the sales. I average 80% savings each trip to the grocery store!<br />
<br />
I think everyone should have a food storage, for many different reasons. 2 years ago, we were able to live off of our food storage for a very long time! It saved us so much money in the long run because when we lost our jobs we atleast had food...and plenty of it. My goal is to get my storage up to a 2 yr supply of food and a 1yr supply of toiletries/hygeine items...so far, I have met my toiletries goal and am working on my food goal. I just wish I had more room! lol<br />

We got hammered last week with some freezing cold temperatures and about 2 feet of snow. One day our temperature registered at -30, brrrr! We set records that day! Hmmm, well now that I think of it, we've set records before here in Bellemont before..hence..Tornados!<br />
<br />
Alexa was busy playing in the snow making snow angels...how cute! <br />

The kids all had a blast. Bill cooked us some "grub" on the grill!! hehe You never realize the importance the bond of cousins is, until they are reunited with each other after 6 months. It was great to see them all so close and happy together.<br />
<br />
The kids got to stay at Grandma & Grandpa Morgans house for 4 days while Ty & I headed off to Vegas the day after Christmas, it was amazing to get away with the hubsters!<br />

We have a tradition in our home on Christmas Eve that consists of a very fancy dinner with the kids (which they LOVE since they get to dress the table up all fancy and use all the fine china we have and drink champagne out of fancy glasses, ahem, sparkling cider in plastic flutes, lol) along with opening up 1 gift prior to going to bed. Well, this year we surprised them and let them open all their gifts instead, I love surprises! (so did they!) We ended a great evening playing all the new Wii games and fixing Santas plate. P.S. I'm so hooked on the dang wii! Talk about some fun family times! We hope you all had a fabulous Christmas!<br />

After a motorcycle accident the day before Thanksgiving in 2008, which had him in a coma for the past 2 years, he was called up to the Lord to be free again. May he finally be in Peace and be Jessica's guardian angel. May Jessica find the strength to get through this difficult time knowing he is in a better place and watching over her now. He was taken too young at the age of 24 but, he will forever be with you Jessica...Traceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17262912248644978132noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1427155365841350261.post-1396788031081399352010-12-15T12:50:00.000-07:002010-12-15T12:50:50.367-07:00What's a Fathers lesson to his Daughters??Well, for Ty, it's teaching the girls' all about Firearms. One of our most precious privelages as Americans is the right to posess firearms, a privelage that Ty has been unable to have for so many years. Almost 15 years ago Ty got introuble and lost his privelage to ever own a gun, this past year he was finally awarded his civil rights once again. (After a 2 year fight) Needless to say, this is a HUGE accomplishment for Ty one that he will be forever grateful for. <br />
<br />
Ty is so passionate about teaching the kids how to use & respect firearms in a way that is safe. Paige is our biggest fan of target shooting and can I tell you that girl has good aim...so ya' better watch out! Ty is taking Paige on her first hunt next fall for Wild Turkey. Tyler already got to go on a boys trip hunting for squirrell this last October. What great Father/Child bonding!!!<br />

My cousin from Tucson came to visit us for the week and we were privileged enough to spend our Thanksgiving in beautiful Sedona. Sedona has become one of my newest favorite places to visit. Regretfully, I didn't get any pictures of the surroundings BUT I did manage to buy myself a new camera on Black Friday, which quite frankly felt like the longest day of my life! <br />
<br />
This was the first Thanksgiving I've ever had with snow, talk about magical! It was certainly a white little winter-y wonderland! <br />
<br />
Now, we're all geared up and ready for Christmas! <br />

It felt like we had 1 day to put it all together, including costumes, and it lasted for THREE days! I'm still recooping. ...the things we do for our kids!<br />
<br />
We started Halloween on Friday night at our schools Halloween Fall Carnival, it was a blast! I'm on the PTO board so we had to organize & run the event for the night...hence, why I'm still tired! Ahhh, the lovelies of having such a large family..I put them ALL to work! lol With everything we have had going on lately with the house, it's pretty amazing we were able to pull it all together in such a short time and make it a great halloween for the kids. <br />

One touched down on my street, the other up the street. I'm still so speechless, I don't even know the words to say to express the fear I had as I walked out my front door and witnessed a massive detruction such as this one. <br />
<br />
By the grace of god my family is unharmed, as well as the rest of my community. Even though 32 homes need to be rebuilt. So many of our friends & neighbors are suffering huge losses. I can't thank those enough who called us continuously to check on us and offer any help needed.<br />

My entire year has just flown by like a rocket! I'm going into my favorite time of year..hip hip hooray!!<br />

It's been forever since I've blogged, but I have been extremely busy and overloaded with other priorities. This PTO position I'm holding seems to be taking a heck of a lot more time then I expected, but I still love it!<br />
Kids are doing awesome and I'll blog updates once I have more time!Traceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17262912248644978132noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1427155365841350261.post-78515798377247770302010-09-30T15:48:00.000-07:002010-09-30T15:48:36.051-07:00Heart-throb<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9zXK9-ju3U0/TKUTCH_g52I/AAAAAAAAAt0/nOc8QO21B2Q/s1600/tyntracey.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" px="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9zXK9-ju3U0/TKUTCH_g52I/AAAAAAAAAt0/nOc8QO21B2Q/s320/tyntracey.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div align="center">Ugh...he still makes my heart go pitter-patter!</div><div align="center">I have the best hubsters ever!! </div><div align="center">We had our first Morgan BBQ here last weekend with some amazing friends (more pics to come soon) and this great man cooked like a pit master ALL afternoon long!! </div><div align="center"><br />
