Take a moment and Remember!!


I just wanted to take a moment and share my love for our Heavenly Father and remember the love he has for us and for our family. We seem to get so wrapped up in life that we forget what he has done for us and how much we owe him. We are not perfect by any means and we certainly are not asked to be. I am so grateful for what I have left in my life right now. We have climbed a few mountains and scaled a few walls for our marriage and for our kids but through it all we have always had our Lord by our sides and each and every time I knew as Mont knows that he has been there for us. We are so excited to be coming home we cant wait to see all our friends and family. Ciera, Hailee, Connery and Hunter are going crazy, Connery says we can live in a Motel for now and the others well they just don't care, they have missed everyone, as we have as well.
When we left a couple years ago we knew that it was time for us to leave and take a path of our own and find what we thought was missing and honestly it's kind of funny cause there wasn't anything missing, it was all right here in front of us the whole time all 4 of them right there. Our children are our lives and our marriage is what keeps us going. I love my husband and his strengths that he shows each day and what he has given to us by standing by us each day and doing his part to be a great man, husband and father (Just as our Heavenly Father would do).
I will miss the friends that I have made here in Las Vegas and wish I could take you all. You have all shown us just how much we can have and what we are worth. I will miss those smiling faces each week and we will miss your kindness and love but know that no matter where we are or you are we will always be close, Thank goodness for computers, huh.
Joey, Tom, Tyler and Sophie I want you to know that I love you with all my heart and will is you each day that I don't get to hold you and see you grow or call you just to swim or go to lunch or just bar-b-cue. You have been my sister since I can remember and for that my love I love you and will miss you dearly.
My Dear Sara, I love you with all my heart and I am grateful for your words of wisdom and look forward to years of a friendship that I will always be grateful for.
Heather, You are a strong and fearless woman and all though we don't talk all that much (only because we didn't get the chance) I want you to know I love you.
I am looking forward to the next 60 yrs and eternal life with my family and I cant wait to see my Mom and family and hold them again.
I am here to testify that he lives and I love him so much. Father in Heaven THANK YOU for what I been blessed with, you are my hero.

I just wanted to check in and say all is well and we are doing great. It's Connerys Birthday today and I can hardly believe that my baby is turning 9. I almost had to cry this morning, OK OK OK you caught me. I DID CRY BOO HOO. Connery has turned into such a wonderful young man and I love him so much we are so lucky to have him for a son and want him to know that he is a shinning star in our lives and his families. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONNERY.

I love this saying and only pray that Ciera will understand it all someday till then all we can do is just LOVE her unconditionally and never look down on her. I love you Honey.

Pinewood Derby

As you all know there are times in our lives when Dad and Son are not to be disturbed and one of these times are when the Pinewood Derby comes to town. For those who arent familiar with the Pinewood it is a racing event for Cub Scouts, with the help of parents, build their own cars from wood, usually from kits containing a block of pine, plastic wheels and metal axles.
I don't think that I have ever seen two kids so excited about a little car race
(yes, I said a little car race. I was put in my place).
Mont and Connery had been working on the cars for a week yes, cars. Mont had helped Connery sanded it with his dremal and Connery helped Dad spray paint it and with Moms finger nail paints and some nascar stickers it was all about Mont and Connery. They did a wonderful job and just as Mont was putting the last tire on the car.............it split.
Connery was crushed and Daddy was so upset, but no fear Dad told Connery to run down to our friends and get another piece of wood, with only a couple hours and the car having to be turned in by 9:00 AM the next morning to weight in Connery and Mont were able to pull off an amazing car that not only made them closer in being Father and Son but, Connery won 1st Place yes, First.
Way to go Connery and fast working Dad. You guys did great and Moms proud of you.

The Houts

To our friends the Houts,

We love you and want you to know that you are in our prayers today.

Hello There,

Ok call me crazy for being up at 1:00 in the morning.
I wanted to update our friends and family. Allthough this move has been hard for us, leaving our ward and moving across town, we have meet some some really neat people and have made some great new friends.
I am touched each day knowing that I have such amazing friends from those in Utah to those here and the ones that I have had for years. Mont and I want you all to know how much we love you and cherish each of your friendships. We are working hard everyday to make our place in this world and know that the lord has put here for a reason. Many times we question why he does what he does and I have come to believe that we should never question just know that he has a reason and its because he loves us. We love you all and I promise I will get better at this blogging.

Love you all

Our Day at the ZOO!!!

Ok, so we decided to go the ZOO and have a fun day. The kids had been asking to go the ZOO cause the ZOO in Vegas
(If thats what you call it HA HA) is not a place to take kids at all. We left early afternoon and went right for the back of the ZOO to see the Baby Giraffe and the kids were just loving it. They loved watching the animals and taking pictures of them. The best part of the day was when we rode the train and the conductor says over the intercom"Go ahead and feel free to make some noise as we go through the tunnel" and all the kids started to howl and then all of a sudden Mont just yells at the top of his lungs and everyone jumps and looks around and we all started to laugh. Oh yeah, and I got him to smile. That was way cool too. This was good day.

I just want a drink!!!
