And so it begins....

Brian left today on a trip with his dad and brothers, Justin and Spencer. I am sure they will have fun but I am going to miss him. I love when he comes home from work and takes me in his arms and gives me a hug and kiss. love it love it. I think I am going to my sisters for the weekend so that will make it a little more bearable.

Our family Mountain trip

we took the kids to mount graham a couple of weeks ago and it was so nice. From the looks of the pictures I think just me and Brian and Doyle were there. I don't know why I don't have any pics of the girls, probably cause they were the ones with the camera most of the time if you can't tell. HAHAHAHAHA. Anyway it was fun and the kids loved the rain and the nice weather and the fact that Brian brought his dog "Dozer" the kids love this dog!!

Doyle and "his bef frend" Jack

This is Jack Hackett and Doyle. These two are so fun together and Doyle always wants to have Jack over to play. They love to ride bikes, swim, collect rocks, and play trains and trucks together. They are so funny when they get together and they have so much fun. we love you Jack Jack.

Toad's in 1st Grade!!!!!

Cambry is 6 and in the first grade and she is so excited about her teacher Mrs. Baysinger. She is so funny and man is this one a little spitfire..... she has all the boys right where she wants them and let me tell you she is definitley in charge. She isn't told what to do and she loves that they can't make her do ANYTHING!!! I haven't figured out if this is a good quality yet or not!!! ;)
She is a good big sis to Doyle and loves to ride her bike and swim. she is an outdoor girl and loves to go to the mountain with the fam and run all over the place. she loves horses and asks me all the time when aunt Melissa is coming down from mesa so she can go riding with her. She loves basketball and loves anything that has to do with running. WOW she is always on the move and it is never a dull moment with Toad around, We love ya Cambry

Kaely's in 4th Grade!!!

Kaely is 9 and in the 4th grade now and loves it. This was her first day of school pic (nice pose huh) She is so fun at this age and is a huge help to me. She loves to read chapter books and is doing really well in spelling this year. Her goal this school year is to get all A's and she wants to get better at her spelling and math. she loves her teacher Mrs. Hardy and has her 2 best friends Charlotte Petterson and Amber Judd in her class this year. which she is so so so excited about. She can't wait till mom and dad start leaving her alone to babysit the little sibs but that won't be happening for another 2 years much to her dismay. She loves baby's and loves to go over to her aunt Amy's and help out with Jarred. I can't believe how time fly's and I wish I could keep her with me forever but we all know that can't happen. she has a heart of gold and loves to make people feel good about themselves. I love you K-Sue

My big sis turns 34!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Heather, thanks for being such an AWESOME big sister. we have had a ton of fun together and I am so glad that we have you. I love doing stuff together and know that there will always be a late night party of some sort or another if you are there. Everyone wants to be at Hebbies house. Thanks for all the memories of throwing frogs against the bank wall in Willcox or racing trains on dry lakes or catching air in dad's orange truck before softball practice in the mornings during the summer. I could go on and on. The bruises or the scratch fights or the late night parties everytime were together. I love ya and so glad your my sis. Hope you have a Very Happy Birthday. Love ya

My little trickster!!!!

Okay so this morning I was tossing in bed knowing the kiddos would be up soon and I had to get up and start my morning routine, well I heard the front door shut and thought it was Brian leaving for work. It's like almost 6 right. Then in walks Doyle and he says to me "Mom, shawna(my housekeeper) is here get up, get up. so I get up thinking this could happen cause i forgot to leave a check for her on Tuesday but I didn't really think she'd come at 6 in the morning for it but oh well. so I come out of my room trying to wipe my eyes so I can see with my arms folded cause I'm not wearing a bra yeah HELLO and he says "she's sitting on the couch, so I come around the couch and no one is there, I look at Doyle who has a grin from ear to ear and says "K, mom just kidding but don't go back to bed I want some Ceral"
That little bugger got me out of bed with a LIE no less just so I would get him some cereal. It's a good think Heavenly Father makes theses kids so darn cute and irresitable so we don't end up giving them away at times. I love him and now I am laughing but at 6 am it wasn't that funny to me! HHHHHHHMMMMMMM i wonder why! gotta love em

Kaely is a 4th grader

I am sorry but I am having a hard time coming to terms with this! I can't believe that I am old enough to have a 4th grader. in 2 years she will be at the middle school and OMG that is so hard to grasp!!! I hate that these kids grow up so dang fast. I wish i could put them in a bottle and keep them forever (without getting arrested that is)

They are all at such a fun age and yes at times it seems to be the hardest thing I will ever do but for the most part we are enjoying them. We watched a video of Uncle Doyle and it was fun to see of Brian's brothers and sisters so young and cute and innocent and now they are having kids of their own. WOW!!!!

"I have the BEST TEACHER EVER"

Cambry was so excited when she got home from school. she had a smile from ear to ear and said that school was awesome and she loved her teacher and her class. She was so funny to listen to. I will post the pictures from today when I get them developed. I am down to a disposable camera cause the digital one I used at the reunion got misplaced and ended up with someone eles. DANG IT!!!!

It's just Marshmallow's Mom

Today after we dropped the girls off at school Doyle wanted to go by the High School to see MIMI. When we left the office and were driving out of the parking lot, one of the farmers was burning a huge pile of weeds and the flames were like 8 ft in the air and it started a pretty interesting conversation with him

mom: Doyle do you see the big fire?

Doyle: That is really big mom!

Mom: What do you think it is?

Doyle: He's cooking a big marshmallow, serious mom!

I had to laugh, if you would have seen how big the fire was you might have guessed that's what it was!!!

It's School time again!!!!!!

WOW!!!! This summer has flown by and we are anxiously waiting to start back in the swing of things. The kids are really excited this year and Kaely got the teacher that she wanted. Cambry is a little worried because she doesn't know this teacher but she will do just fine in her class. I just hope this teacher is ready for her. She loved Mrs. Barney and she was such a great teacher. I hope we have just as much luck with this one. Hope everyone had a great summer and I will post pics of the kids tommorow. Yippy!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) (I am not the least bit excited about this can't you tell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
