My little brother is going to:

The Dominican Republic Santo Domingo East mission! He will be leaving for the MTC on Jan, 14th. He is way "stoked". He said he didn't care where he went, he just wanted to speak spanish. Well he got what he wanted. I am so proud of him, but I can't believe that my little brother is still big enough to be a missionary. Congrats Tyson, we love you!

I Love Family Night!

For Family night we went to Scooters Family Fun Center. Tayton had such a fun time. We went miniature golfing, hit some balls at the batting cages, and then Taytons favorite we drove go-carts but Tayton called them super fast race cars. Here are just some pictures, oh and my little brother should be getting his mission call within the next couple of days, I will let you all know where he is going!





Tayton playing miniature golf, he was so proud of himself for getting the ball in there!

Here is Levi wondering how to get his ball out of the water! (I hit mine in the water too, but since I am the one blogging I won't show you that picture:)

More pictures of our house!

Here are some more pictures of our house! Things seem to be going super slow. Hopefully if everything goes good we should close by the end of the month which is good because Levi needs to start his job when the deer season opens which is the beginning of October. We have a little packed but there are boxes everywhere. Oh the joys of moving:)


Master Bathroom


Our Kitchen, well half of it. When we move in hopefully we can take a picture that shows all of it:)


Taytons and Tannas bathroom.

Also here are just of few pictures of what my brother Jaren is doing. I guess September 11th is Patriot Day and the most Patriotic person I know is my brother, so I wanted to give a little tribute to him. I am very proud of him and appreciate what he is doing. His wife Emily is the sweetest thing in the world and has such a good attitude about the entire thing. Jaren definitely made the best choice ever when he married her. So be safe out there Jaren and come home soon we miss you and we love you, and we are so proud of you!

These two pictures were taken in Iraq,

This next picture is Kuwait. Jaren said he loved the beauty of it, I personally think it looks a lot like Laughlin.

The Church is True!

Here is our story about a bear named blue bear. Just a little history about this bear, my mom bought him when I was pregnant with Tayton and it used to play music and I would play it for Tayton inside my belly and Tayton would kick and kick to the music. So this has been his bear even before he was born. He has slept with this bear every night. Tayton says blue bear is his best friend, and mom even gets a bit jealous of blue bear because sometimes blue bear will kiss Taytons owies better. Well anyway, last Sunday Tayton took blue bear to church and we couldn't find blue bear after church. We looked for about an hour after and we just couldn't find him. Tayton left church just sobbing and kept saying he would never see blue bear again. I told him if he would say a prayer to Heavenly Father and Jesus then they can help him find his blue bear.

Well all week Tayton was praying that we would find blue bear, and to keep blue bear safe. I was getting worried because I thought that if we couldn't find blue bear I didn't want Tayton to think that Heavenly Father and Jesus weren't real. So I was going to stop telling Tayton to pray so he might forrget about it when I thought where is your faith Kali? So we kept praying for blue bear.

Sunday came and Tayton did not want to go to church. I told him we had to go to find blue bear, then he couldn't hurry fast enough. We got to church and when we pulled up Tayton said, "Mom, Jesus is going to help me find blue bear." We looked around for a while and then we found him! Tayton picked him up and kissed him and said, "Don't ever leave me again blue bear, I missed you". Then he said "Mom Jesus really helped me find him, I love Jesus." I was so cute, really hard to hold the tears in.

It might not seem like a big deal but this bear means everything to Tayton. I am so glad that Tayton and me learned a really great leason. Even though you are only 3, Heavenly Father will still answer your prayers. Yea, the chuch is true!


Tayon is only a couple of days old in this picture.


Tayton, blue bear, and black bear. (He isn't attached to black bear like he is blue bear)


I just had to put this picture in, Tayton loves to climb in Tanna's crib and turn on her mobile. She just loves Tayton. It is so fun to watch them together. I never thought Tayton would be so cute with her. They seriously have such a special bond together.
