It's Almost Chirstmas

Hi again, FYI poor little Pippy got hit by a truck the other day, I rushed him to the vet and he has a broken bone somewhere in his pelvis, we chose not do do x-rays because I am poor and because he was able to bare weight on his back legs, He pretty much didn't move for the last 2 days, with time and great doggy pain pills, he is surely but slowly starting to feel better!


Tanner man won this big bucket of candy (over 800 pieces mind you) @ the Nance Christmas party! He keeps saying "it's a good thing I won all that candy, huh mom" Yup Tanner it's sure is a good thing! LOL

Sitting on Santa's lap, Kenlee asked for a Dance Mat, and Tanner wants a Pillow Pet.

I told the kids if they would/could keep their room clean, they could have their own Christmas trees. Grandma Nance paints them an ornament each year, so that's what they got to hang on them. (P.S. don't be jealous of their beautiful golden carpet)

Here is the end result promised from the last blog entry.

The kids had their school Christmas Concert today, they both sang very well (I think? Either that or they faked it pretty good)!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

( SURE WISH A JEW WERE COMING FOR CHRISTMAS) maybe next year!!!!!

For the last 3 Christmas's we have gone with our friends to cut down Christmas trees, we take the Four Wheelers dress in our warm clothes and go hunting for that perfect tree. I love it, the kids love it and I think even Jeremy enjoys it! (end result coming soon!)

House Update

Grrrrr....every time I forget to do last photo first and first photo last on blogger, they do it all bass akwards.... so look at bottom picure first and go up cuz I'm not taking the time to change it. See ya love ya bye!

Boom Boom Clap

Love IT!

I'm so proud of My Kenlee girl! I (well I guess she) got so many compliments this last little dance recital! And to think she almost didn't want to take dance this year. ( But I told her she had to keep it up till she's 18 then she can decide if she keeps going or not) (Cuz mean mom's are the best moms!!)

Fall is in the air!

I Love fall time, I love living in Cache Valley and having such different seasons, I love the changes, I'm getting excited for snow, and Christmas! But before that.....we need to dry in our house! We are getting walls up...very exciting! The outside walls are pretty much done, and and Jeremy has been framing inside walls, it's fun to see it all come together and where rooms will be!!

We've had a little bit of bad luck at our house the last couple of weeks, Ken and Tanner Man have been very sick with H1N1 and Kenlee had pneumonia on top of that she gave us quite the scare one night, her temp. was 105.7 and we couldn't get it to come down! After a constant payer in my heart, and on our way to the ER it finally did, we turned around and came home and started on the "up hill" to recovery! (CAUTION: wash your hands constantly!!! You don't want H1N1 I can honestly say I have never hurt or been so sick in my life...it sucked!)

Sometimes I can see a little of the baby look in my kids when they sleep. They are growing way to fast!

I had a really good Lesson in Sunday School today! It was on service, and selflessness! If we all try to serve as our Savior did, and remember to be less selfish, or not selfish at all we will reap rewards we can't even Imagine. Also some comments were made about being Parents...once you have kids it's not about you anymore, your life is all about them, (and your spouse) and how blessed you will be if you're not worried about "you" and what "you" get to do, or what "you get"! But what you can do for them!! This was definitely the lesson I needed! She also told us that her in laws have each been married about five times, and every time they got divorced was because of selfishness! I hope we can all want to be more like Jesus!! and serve one another! (For me especially! To serve my husband and kids.. which means better meals, better house cleaning, better attitude, etc. etc)

So much has happened in a lil' bit of time.....



The kids started School at the end of August! Tanner is a Kindergarten Baby Born in the Gravy.
And Kenlee is in Second Grade! They are both extremely smart and fun and I miss them terribly when they are gone to school!



I grew Zinnias this year, they are my favorite and I love them, The hummingbirds love them to, but every time I try and get a picture of them buzzing around my flowers, it doesn't turn out!


Jeremy Loves ME! As he was taring the foundation he wrote me this note "CUTE"


Tanner is playing soccer this fall, He is an awesome player. It's so much fun to watch them play, cuz they are like a little flock chasing the ball all over the field. Last Saturday he was the Goalie and stopped 3 balls from going in, one he took right in the face!




Kenlee and Tanner Drove the Back Hoe all by their selves, controls and all! (with Eric in the cab with them of course.) They love being down at the "hole" with Jeremy everyday they ask if they can go!


Uncle Jason, and Roger helped Jerm poor the floor yesterday, Tanner Man Loved Watching the Mud come out of the concrete truck!




And I'm just happy being here!!

Swimming Lessons

My kids started swimming lessons 2 weeks ago.They both cried their eyes out the first day. I love their teacher she is a very good swim instructor, the classes were supposed to last one half hour but because they cried the whole time she made them stay for the next class. She called me that night and said she wanted them to stay for a whole hour the next 2 weeks cuz she thought they needed the extra time in the water. By the time the 2 weeks were over they loved it, they were treading water, jumping off the diving board and Kenlee could swim the whole length of the pool just like an Olympian! (is that a word?)

YEAH!

Well, it's really here! We are finally starting our house, and you; the lucky winner, gets to see it progress!

As you can see here they are starting to dig.

Next: Footings

Kids Loving It!

And today Sat. August 22nd (it's 96 degrees outside) and they're down in the hot hole setting panels, so we can poor a foundation hopefully Monday!

Summer is coming to and end.

WOW! Can you believe it is August already? I can't. School will start in 20 days! Time to start putting the kids to bed before midnight I guess! Here are some pictures of Twin Lakes and Bear Lake. I didn't get any of Parades and Rodeos from last weekend (what was I thinking?)

Twin Lakes Aug. 1st 2009

Bear Lake (Jerm's a dork)

Mom @ Bear Lake



Twin Lakes. Uncle Kurt brought this Shark to both Twin and Bear Lake

Tanner played on it 99% of the time. He's going to ask Santa for a big pool and two Sharks

one for him and one for Kenlee.

I LOVE HIM!

I met a Jeremy Nance in December of 1993. We were married 4 years later in December of 1997. Now its July of 2009 and I STILL LOVE HIM, more than ever!! He takes such good care of me and the kids. He's my bestest friend, and did I mention I LOVE HIM! He makes me laugh, usually at someone elses expense, but it's stinkin' funny! I think he's the cutest boy on earth with a Tanner man coming in close behind. I'm a very lucky girl to have married my bestest friend and love of my life! To have the cutest 2 rugrats, and to be living in the bestest antique house in Clifton Idaho (KUCK)! With my fingers crossed that we'll build again.

Those Things That Float

Tonight Tanner Man comes up to me and says "mom it it dinner time?" and I say "ya just about, what would you like?" " I want those things we put in a bowl and they float"...... -K- I would like to say I'm a pretty smart mom. Cuz mom's know everything right. But this time I couldn't get "those things that float" So I ask him "do you know what the're Called?" "Hmmmm" he says, "I can't remember let me fink about it." About 10 min. later he comes back and wants to know if we can have those things. "Tanner I have no idea what you're talking about, do we have any?" I dont know he says can you look? (um yah....if i knew what the heck I was looking for.) "I'll wook and see if we have any mom". Then he goes out to the garage (this was a helpful clue, since we'ved moved, all of our food storage is out there) So I'm standing on the steps waiting for him to find the things that float????? He's going through the soup rack and I say is it soup you want (this is a famous saying of moms...ha ha inside joke...actually it goes "Theres Soup")..anyway he say's no it's not soup, I say is it a fruit, "No" is it beans, "No" Obviously by now we're both getting frustrated. "What color is it?" I say. "Yellow" and it comes in a can? "Yes" hmmmm. " the next thing he said threw me...."and the stuff it floats in is red." .......Then my light clicks I know what is he wants, I crawl over 12 or so boxes, a motor bike, ladder, weed eater, and reach to the farthest box of food storage I Hold up the can and say Is this what you want. A Huge great big smile and a YES, WE HAVE SOME!

A Very Special June Day

This last weekend was grand. FYI Heavenly Father answers prayers, (and it's ok if sometimes it takes 10-15 years +.) A Mom and Sisters make the best of friends!
