Playin' Around

I am kinda into this photo thing lately. I am still trying to learn how to use my camera and its many settings. But I thought these turned out OK and not because I have skill it's mostly because she is so cute.

In Rememberence...Edward J. Ochs

Trav's Grandpa passed away last month. He recieved full military honors, that was really neat to see.

Grammy is given the flag

I thought this was a great pic of Trav and his Mom and siblings


Here's the troops...minus Ash. He has 11 great-grandchildren

Here's To The BIG 3-0

I have been asked if turning 30 was hard for me. I am completely happy with where I am at. Happily married with 3 great girlies! Besides whose counting, in my head I am still in my mid 20's!?
There's a smile for ya. That's what she will do if you tell her to smile big. She's quite literal.
Couldn't leave this one out. Not only is she so cute she is now so big and sitting up!

Let IT Snow...

Whatever Works!?!

What I love most right now is that it is January and I am just posting Halloween!

Halloween

This is what happens to my baby if left alone with her crazy sisters for 2 minutes too long...she gets decorated!

Sydney as 'Minnie'. Thanks Lyndsey for making such a darling costume!
Ash was a piggy.....because doesn't it make sense to have all your babies use the same costume?!

Ken HAD to be a flower so you guessed it folks I had to make it! I thought it turned out quite well. I did have a little help with the assembling.

Deseret Elk Hunt

Trav's dad drew out on Deseret this year for the Elk hunt and Trav was able to take time to go with him and help in any way he could. They had success as you can see. I know Trav is greatful that he got to experience that with his Dad and I am proud of him for making it such a priority.

They brought the beast home so we could see it and of course Ken was all over it,

while Syd on the other hand not so sure.

Ken wasn't sure about sitting on his head, not because it was a huge animal, not because it was dead, no..she didn't want any blood to get on her. (I don't blame her)

AnYBodY HomE?

Yeah, Yeah I know where have I been. BUSY is all I can say. Hopefully now I can get back on track. I will probably back track a little because I have some seriously cute pics to show off. I am also thinking of going private so please get me your email address. casbskeen@msn.com

Kendyl's Field Trip

Pumpkin Carving

Ken was a trooper and loved helping with the pumpkins. Syd on the other hand...I told her to clean out her pumpkin and she put her hands up like lil miss priss and said 'no mommy dirty'. I said that's ok you can take a bath when you are done. She said,' no mommy cucky'. Wow... she just might be my girly girl.

A Princess Sleeps Here

I had to take this picture more because it has a teeny story than the fact she is completely asleep sitting up. I had just got home from work and she was sitting just like that, I have no idea if she was awake or not when I walked in, she just said 'hi mom' next thing I know I turn around and this is what I saw. She takes such comfort in knowing we are all home together.

Chuck E Cheese

We decided to brave the crowd and take Ken and Syd to see the 'rat' (as my brother would say). As far as the kids are concerned the place is great. Thanks to one my friends I was prewarned that there was No stage and No pop out characters. I was so sad. I guess they weren't really thinking of my generation when they built it though. The kids had a great time and that's really what we were going for!

Still Chuck E Cheese

Our Girls

Crazy Snow Storm!!

Yo, Yo Kendyl Jo

I forgot to post this picture the other night, but it is a must. I walked into my room to find her doing this pose over and over again in my mirror. Then she turned to me and said, "mom is this cool?" Seriously I want to live in her head for a day. She is so funny.

Etched in......Wood

So after Trav went duck hunting we went to Meeks Cabin to meet some of my family for the Elk Hunt. We all know the weather was not so great, so needless to say the girls and I were stuck in the trailer a lot. They did surprisingly well. We still had such a good time, we love to go camping. I love being in the mountains away from the world for a minute. No phones ringing and enjoying each others company. Due to the weather, unfortunately there were no camp fires. During our little trip Kendyl kept saying when she grows up she wants to be a cowgirl and a hunter girl. As we were leaving to come home 7 deer were crossing the road, a couple Doe, fawns and a little 2 point, so that was fun for the girls to see.

I said it before, Trav is a great dad. He had this cute idea to take the girls for a ride on my brothers Ranger and carve their names into a tree.

I wasn't there for this pic, but knowing Trav I am pretty sure they are flexing their muscles.
Ken and I went for a ride when the sun decided to grace us with its presence...for 10 minutes!! Thanks Gayla and Brandon for giving my a girls an enjoyable weekend.
I can literally say she is a 'happy camper'.
