HOPE.......

I feel very blessed to be part of the best community in the world. We recently had a fundraiser for Preslee - a little baby who drown - and through the strength and faith of her parents her memory will live on forever. Many families will be blessed because of the many trials her family had to go through. The girls out here in Paradise stepped up and put together more than enough supplies to help make care baskets for families at Primary Childrens Medical Center and the Ronald McDonald House in Honor of Preslee's Birthday. Some of the girls were able to go to Rigby and personally give the items to Preslee's parents. There is still a group going up next week to take more if there is anything you would like to donate.

It is Bitter Sweet to have to start the process all over again.



We recently learned that our neighbor and friend Tammy Trimble has stage four cancer. Her family has no insurance and she will be starting treatments right away. We will be having a fundraising dinner and auction for her and her family in January at Canyon Elementary. (more info to come) We are looking for donations for the auction and any help and prayers for the family you can offer.

There will be jars in businesses in Paradise and Hyrum for donations and there is also an account set up at America First Credit Union. (Tammy Trimble Fundraising account)

If there is something you would like to do for the family please let us know. Call - leave a comment:) However you can get in touch.

We HOPE as a community we can GIVE more LOVE deeper DREAM bigger so that those in need have the FAITH to pray, the COURAGE to fight, and the STRENGTH to endure.

My Husband the Movie Star!

Kelly and His Dad were on the Early Show this morning. They were doing the "Name Sake Series" and Kelly's Dad's Vet "Dr. David Price" has the same name as "David Price" on the Early Show. Kelly is the one holding the horse.

Halloween!

I hope you all had a fantastic Halloween! We had fun dressing up and putting together costumes. (at the last minute) Rylee and Kody were still a little sore from getting their tonsils out, but we made the journey to school for the first time in 8 days! I am glad that is over! It was the longest 2 weeks of my life.
We went Trunk - R - Treating at the church parking lot and went to our friends house for soup and yummies! Margaret always has such great parties! And the best part is there is always food!
Ty and Rylee dressed up and went around, but Kody wouldn't have any part of it. He wouldn't even put on his costume. We had his costume picked out a while ago, but he just wouldn't wear it that night!
Ty was a rodeo clown that got BLOODY from the bull. Rylee was a little Indian Girl and Kody was supposed to be Woolverine from X-Men.








Nice Costume Kody!! Now he is a "Basketball Player"



Can't wait for Turkey Day!!

Horse Cut-Style

Kody + Birthday = 3

Yes I know it has been um..........5 months since my last post. Well a lot has happened since then. Maybe when I have a few hours to sit and write I will let you know all about it. Right now I will just focus on the Birthday Boy (3 months ago) ANYWAY....
Kody turned 3! We had such a fun day! He was so excited that he was so BIG! We woke him up in the morning and wished him a Happy Birthday and kept telling him how BIG 3 was. He said " just a minute mom" ran into my bedroom looked in the mirror came running back " Yah - I growed and I am BIG!" I think he ran into the bedroom about ten times that morning to see if he had grown anymore since the last time he checked! We went to McDonalds for lunch because that is where big boys want to eat lunch. That night we had friends and family over for cake and ice cream. He picked out a soccer ball cake. Do you know how hard it is to make black frosting. Finally I went to the bakery at Maceys and they were so kind to sell me some black gel. Funny thing about black frosting....it turns everyone's mouth BLACK ...teeth too!! When it was time to open his big present we had him close his eyes because it was too hard to wrap. He did so good. It is so hard for little ones to keep their eyes shut when they are so excited. As you can see he was so so excited for that BIG BOY bike. He has ridden that thing to death (almost). We love Kody. He is our little scruffy voice, keep us on our toes, full of life, little man. He is a tough little guy who can do anything his older brother can do (can take down his older brother too). He loves anything to do with being outside. He pulls the legs off grasshoppers and wonders why they don't hop away anymore. Usually the first thing he says in the morning is "can I have a popcycle" He lives on popcycles and cereal! We are so thankful for Kody coming in to our lives! We love you little man!







This is how I found him after everyone left! What a BIG day!!


A couple weeks after his Birthday Steph came and helped me clean out the office/junk/ throw everything you don't have a place for/ room and made it Kody's BIG BOY room. He was so excited! He loves it and won't let anyone sleep with him.

Thanks aunt Stephy!
