Weekend With My Boys

One of the greatest things about being a "Mom" is the fact that at any age... your children always love you... and I have four boys who are so good to me, who show me their love and respect and I'm so thankful for them. Heavenly Father has been so good to me. We got to spend 5 days this last week with all the boys together, and when we all get together... it is always so much fun. Aside from all the work that they got done there were a lot of time spent making memories, eating great food and just... spending time together. Look at this picture... I know you can understand what I mean when I say I'm the luckiest mom in the world!!

The Front of our House with a New Roof!!

Roofing With the Kellogg Guys

Busyness on 201st Circle. Mike flew Alex into Omaha to help him with the roofing of our house. The need for a new roof was a result of a recent storm we had this summer. We love the new roof, it looks so nice as you can see from the pictures. So many great things have happened since all my guys got up on the roof, one of which is that I got a new roof, the other is the spectacle they have made while doing it!! Yeah... that's right... 5 great looking guys up on one roof, and that roof being mine!! We were the hit of the neighborhood!! Olivers comment summed it all up... "even Big Butts can do a mean job up on the roof". :-) It's just been great to see all my guys getting together and with combined effort the job gets done and all can sit back and enjoy the satisfaction!!

Come Home to Kanesville

This great production is coming to a close... What a GREAT experience is has been for our whole family!! We have met new friends, gotten to know people who are completely dedicated to the show, church and gospel. This whole production has been a huge commitment, but one that we will never forget. Tonight is our last night, looking forward to the testimony meeting afterward to hear how this has affected the others, wonder if it's affected them as much as it has affected us. The Mormon pioneers and the story there is one that we all should get to know better, it has been a real testimony builder for me of patience, hope, faith and fully understanding our dependence on our Heavenly Father.

Just when you thought I couldn't possibly have any more cute people around me...
Well... You haven't met my Grandson Jack Alexander Kellogg yet...
oh... isn't he a cutie... And did you see those blue eyes??!!

The greatest thing about gathering a family together, other then for the opportunities to spend quality time with family... is the awesome opportunity to get some awesome pictures!! This is one taken of Ellie, that I just love... see how awesome it is??!! So awesome that I wanted to get a picture of me just like it, so that she and I would have something in common!! The picture of Ellie was taken 17 May, 2008 at Ryan and Dawns wedding!! Picture of me taken shortly afterward!! :-)

Come Home to Kanesville

What a busy summer it's been, but the most fun we've had is being a part of the "Come Home to Kanesville" production. It's been long and a major commitment, but I know we all are better because of it!! The cast is fantastic and a lot of fun to be around. It has been great to see this thing come together and now to see it done all the way through with a crowd every night that is enjoying every part of it. I will post a picture of the cast later.

Our family is growing... and I have to say this is a most exciting time for us. It has been a great story so far. Of my four boys... all three of the oldest are married now, and I have to admit... I am just fine with the knowledge that it will be a few years before Briggs gets married. And we do have a secret in our family..... Your not going to believe it... but, we have princesses in our family too!! I will add pictures to prove it. Actually, I have it even better then that... I have two princesses and two princes.... one is 13 and one isn't even 1 yet... Do I have it good or what??!! Look at how wonderful they are!!!

Ok.. I've added a couple pictures of my family... I will add the new daughters next!!

My First Attempt At This...

Not t be outdone by my children, I thought I would try and create a blog for our family. And I'm doing this without any help...so don't give me any garbage about it!!!
