BLAST FROM THE PAST

I was looking through old pictures the other day and found a few I thought I would share with my blog world! So prepare yourselves to be AMAZED!!!! LOL!!!

ME & GARY BENNETT (my little buddy)

RENEE, ME, KRISTINA

My Matt & Matt Moss (I stole this one off FB)

My oldest child

I can hardly believe that THIS little guys is now 12!!!!!!!!! WOW how time flies! I forgot to do his bday post since we were on vacation so I'm a little late! I never knew 12 years of my life could fly by so fast! It's sad and great all the same time! He was ordained and received his preisthood last Sunday! We are so proud of you! Keep it up pal!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Johnathan Kadence Mondier!

Random Post About Nothing!

So I don't really have much to blog about lately! You know life is just the same for us! Isn't that pitiful? The same!!! Does anyone else ever get tired of the same? Not in a bad way, but just wishing that some changes could have been made this year with Matt's job. We have pretty much made the decision to move if he doesn't get a teaching job next year. And we may just look elsewhere all together.

I've decided there are small blessings in living away. Things you don't necessarily think of when you live away. Although it will be hard to be away from family I think it's what will be best for us in the long run. The boys are OK with it and even excited about the possibility of a move. We are thinking St George or Logan, UT and the Phoenix/Mesa area of AZ. I will be perfectly happy with either one. Arizona pays more for Matt's career. I can get a job pretty much anywhere with my SKILLSSS!!!! :o) If we do move.......we will not move again. It will be our final move until the kids are done with school. I don't want to keep that up while they are in school.

So those are my rambling thoughts for the day! Sorry there's no picture with this wonderful post! I just felt the need to ramble! There are many things I need to get off my chest, but I need the right forum. You know things that you just need to bounce off of others to have your feelings validated? Maybe I will begin an anonymous blog so no one knows who is writing it! Now there's an idea! Hmmmm......

Family Pics

Here are a few of the family pictures we had made while we were out in Utah. I think they turned out really nice. Especially since we did them ourselves with the help of Chana's sister!

Vacation Post

It's been awhile since I've posted. We were on vacation for about 10 day. We decided at the last minute to drive out to Utah and surprise my brother for his birthday. The drive is never the best part of the vacation, but it wasn't that bad. We really had a great time. The more I'm out there the more I want to move out there. I think Logan has a magical spell on me!

We were able to go 4wheeling up Logan Canyon, thanks to Chana's parents. It was so much fun we were up in the mountains for about 5 hours. It was fun to get nice and dirty! The boys really enjoyed it. We even took Lukas along, he napped twice! How he slept on the back of a 4wheeler is beyond me, but he did it.

We also got to go boating at Utah Lake. That was a blast as well. Another thank you to Chana's parents. The boys tubed for the first time and so did Grace! She did very good! Johnathan and Lukas slept on the shore! (party poopers!) Christina and Michael were able to join us for this! They both tubed, Michael tried to ski...the water was too choppy, Christina tried to wakeboard. NO LUCK! We really enjoyed our visit and can't wait to go back...SOOON!!!!

We also had some pictures taken since all of the siblings were together. So we made a collage for Mom for her birthday.

Here are a few pictures of the vaca:

Sorry Michael! My picture of you is while you were tubing so it's not too clear!
