HE-MAN ROBERT!!!!

This is probably the best video ever!!!! The girls wanted me to video their dad jumping between rocks because they thought it was the funniest thing they had ever seen! For some reason they enjoy making fun of their parents! Can you believe it? ENJOY!!!

DOWN BY THE RIVER

Once again Hallie and Maison took the opportunity to take more pictures. This time it was down by the river close to our house. The weather was beautiful for January and that had a good time. They even took a picture of Sadie! Imagine that!!!

GREAT WEATHER!!!

I am truly sorry for those of you who are having to deal with the very cold temperatures but we are enjoying beautiful weather here where we live. Monday was a holiday and so we took the opportunity to go out exploring in the desert and just hiking around. We had a lot of fun and of course tons of pictures were taken!

KARAOKE!!!!!

Here is a special video of Hallie and Maison singing Karaoke! My sister brought her Karaoke machine to our Pinegar Christmas party and these guys were having fun singing along. You will notice which one is in charge of the microphone, all though Maison does manage to get away from Hallie for a few moments of singing. ENJOY!!!

WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT OUR CHILDREN?

I was trying to think what to blog about and I decided to do a tribute to my son, Holden. What do I do with him and what would I do without him!? For those of you who don't know, he lives in Provo in an apartment with 2 other friends and what a life they live! Wow - when he left home he really explored his freedom like none other and now I think he is realizing the consequences of his actions and is really trying to settle down a bit. At least I can say that he is working and trying to pay his bills the best he can! He doesn't always make the best of choices and is having a rough time right now making those right choices, but we love him dearly!!!! It is hard living 5 hours away from him and trying to help him when I can because it is just not that easy to jump in the car and go! Long story short - he is an awesome young man and has many good qualities and we really support him and appreciate all of you who have supported him through no matter what and have looked past some of those not so desirable qualities. (We all have them!!!) I really don't know why I decided to write about him today - probably because I am missing him terribly and I know that he is missing us terribly! WE LOVE YOU HOLDEN!!!

SENOR SADIE!!!

Sadie wanted her hair trimmed after her bath and so we took off about 1 1/2 inches and all of a sudden I look at her and she had picked up a bunch of her hair and started to make a mustache with it. We didn't have anything to keep it on her upper lip and so we used some hair mousse to stick it on and were able to get some great pictures! Fortunately she doesn't really have hair growing on her face because at 9 years old we would really start to worry!!!

MODEL PICTURES !!!!!!

WOW!!!! Does Hallie like to take pictures of what?!!!! Every chance she gets she is taking pictures either by herself or with friends. She took some really good pictures outside the other day and I just thought I would post them. She is really growing up to be a beautiful young lady and you can be sure that all of the wonderful young men are noticing! Ha, ha!!!

BLAST FROM THE PAST

This New Years we went and stayed at Robert's parents house and while we were there we always love to look at the old photo albums! Merrill was kind enough to scan a few of them for me and so I just thought I would share them with you. Some of them are not very old!

PINEGAR CHRISTMAS PARTY 2008

We went to Utah on Monday, December 29, 2008 and stayed at my mom and dad's house. That evening we had a Pinegar Christmas party and it was really nice because quite a few of us were able to come. We had fun singing on the Karaoke machine, eating, and participating in Grandpa Pinegar's Christmas program. Most of all we just had fun being together!

CHRISTMAS 2008

This Christmas was the first one that we have spent without Holden!!! We really missed him but were able to have a good time anyway! The family got the Wii and spent the day rocking out to Guitar Hero or playing sports. Hallie and Maison got Ipods and Sadie got a Nintendo DS and so all in all everyone made out pretty well. It was a great day and the first one that we have ever spent at home and not visited anyone because we live so far away. Here are a few pictures! Enjoy!!

MOAPA SNOW

This December Nevada saw the most snow it has ever had in 40 years. Here in Moapa we didn't get very much at all but Las Vegas got clobbered and the whole city shut down. The airport, the schools and basically the whole city. They just didn't know what to do with all of the snow. We had a snow day from school here in Moapa and we didn't even have any snow. I just thought that I would post a few pictures taken out my back window to show you what snow we did have!!
