Family Pictures... Finally....

We FINALLY got family pictures taken! Shawna Eskelson at Eskel Photography did such a great job and I'm so happy with them. Here they are and can I just say I love my kids!!!






And... as of tomorrow I've been married to this wonderful guy for 6 years!!! Happy Anniversary babe, I love you!

Back to blogging....

I could start off like normal by saying how it's been forever.. I'm going to do better.. bla bla bla... but I doubt that will happen. So for now here's just a little bit of what we've been up to this last year!

First of all the most important thing. We had our new baby girl Cheznee Jayde Hoskins on July 26, 2010. She was 9 lbs 1 oz. and 21 inches long. She's been a good baby, just needy (very needy), but we love her and she's been so much fun for all of us. It's so much fun to see Kinlee and Hayes with her, I just hope they all keep loving eachother the way they do now.



She had to spend some time in the billi bed.



These probably won't be in order just random pictures from this past year....

To make a long story short... My yorkie Mika was in heat... The neighor's Shitzu found her... Mika had "shorkie's"... Kinlee fell in love... Meet her new puppy "Cocoa"...

Hayes sticking marshmellow's on his head while camping.

Trev and Chez


Kinlee turned 5 and wanted a flip flop party!

Then they had a sleepover in the tent that night.

Kinlee's first day of Kindergarten. Time needs to slow down, but I'm so proud of her..

2nd day of school.

Cheznee's blessing day.

Ok, it's getting late, maybe just maybe I will post again in the next year...

Free Mini Minky Blanket!

Check out the cute FREE mini minky blankie that Cheznee will be sporting soon!


I originally fell in love with "Minky Couture" blankets at the Scraps of Simplicity craft thing a while ago (link for their blog on my sidebar), then I saw their cute booth at Gateway last Saturday and now I see their offer for a free mini, how could I pass it up. There are so many cute ones to pick from, but I loved the bright pink! Anyways, check them out, order a blanket, or follow the intructions on their site and get yourself a free mini!!!!!

The Sullenger Family Story, PLEASE READ!

Ok, I know I've been horrible at updating my blog, but as I was looking for crafty ideas today I ran across this story and couldn't help but post the links for everyone (if anyone even still looks at my blog). I was bawling as I read the story and the amazing testimony these parents have at such a difficult time. Their 2 year old daughter fell into a canal in Idaho and a farmer found her 2 miles down. She was improving but ended up passing away today. Take a minute to look at these 2 blogs, first go here to read their story and here to read more and see all the ways people are trying to help, they've set up a few ways to donate so although I can't do much hopefully by spreading the word they can get more support, even if it's more of us keeping them in our prayers. I can't even imagine going through something like this, it makes me appreciate my wonderful family even more than I did before.

Where have we been the last 6 months!!!!

Obviously I haven't been so good at updating my blog so I'm going to attempt to get caught up in one gigantic post, here's some pictures of what we've been up to the last 6 months! Enjoy......

We went swimming.


We made Daddy this for Fathers Day

We went to the parade

and scored lots of candy...

Hayes got tubes and his lip cut (and wasn't happy to go with the doc)

Kinlee did a great job at her swimming lessons

She played with a bunch of potatoe bugs

We spent a week in Island Park!

Trev and I went to the George Strait concert (with Julianne Hough & Blake Sheldon)




We named this guy "Joe Dirt" he was so proud of his cameras (yes that's plural, his old style wind up Nikon and his point and shoot strapped to his belt) he was a pretty cool dude. I think I'm permanantly scared from seeing him and his girlfriend make out the entire time! gross....

We finally dusted off the moose so Kinlee had to climb the ladder.

We went to the Ogden parade

Kinlee had lots of fun riding Rocky & Ponytail (Ponytail is her little pony, she's improved so much, I LOVE IT)!


Kinlee's done lots of concerts for us (don't ya just love the rag taped on her ankle she's so creative)

We watched fireworks (the kids loved them)


We went to Kenzee's birthday party




Ok I will add more tonight but I better get some more cleaning done, so check back for even more picts tomm......
