You can NEVER Start Them Too YOUNG.

My Mom would be so Proud:)

I love it when the laundry cleans itself.

Happy Halloween

I think Blake and Kashton thought after all the hassel of getting ready, it was soooooo worth it. They kept eating the candy faster than we could trick or treat. At one of the Micah's Uncles house we were trying to get Blake to say thank you and the next thing we knew Kashton said it. Micah and I were dumb founded because Kash babbles more than talks.

Kashton was a Lion. We taught him to growl all week but when he got on his costume he would not do it.

Blake was a Pirate. I was trying to paint a patch over his eye but it look like he was on the losing side of a fight. O well he had alot of fun and did not want to go home. I guess all good things must come to an end:) Micah did comment this year was alot warmer than last year. Sorry, Tangi but trick or treating with you last year was very very cold.

The Traveling Pumpkin Patch

Ok so Micah has this awesome cousin who decided to grow a pumpkin patch...I think his patch was extra large because he was driving around giving pumpkins away. "We were very grateful because that facillitated our family night together.

For once Kashton did not want to climb all...in facted he wanted down. Blake on the other hand was in heaven. So was their mother. I love picking out pumpkins. JR was so nice that he even let us take enough for our neighbors who have 6 six kids. The Morris kids were so happy, it was like seeing faces on Christmas.

Here is the results of family night. Micah was MIA beacuse he was studing for an exam. Blake had alot of fun.....

If you look closely there is marker all over his arms, hands, clothes and some on his pumpkin:) Blake would not put his hand in the pumpkin when I was cleaning it out. I tried to talk him into holding my hand and touching inside a pumpkin but that was not enough. While I was scooping out the seeds one fell on the table. Blake went to pick it up and put on the tray I was using but he dropped it as fast as he picked it up. He was like "gross me, gross." I guess it was to slimmy for him:)

Bubba and Mommy

Blake wanted to try and take a picture. I think he is going to give his Uncle Todd a run for his money:)

Posing for the Camera

Muscle Man........

Football Ready.........

Getting Ready to Jump.......

Butt Spanking:).............

Pot Belly like Daddy:)..........

Blake decided that he needed to pose for the camera. It is funny how kids act in front of a camera. This kid reminds me of his cousin Hollywood... aka Andrew. Hollywood I think he needs some pointers:)

Talk About a Heavy Load!!!!!

My little Bubba in a Tonka.

I can't believe how fast children grow and how big they get so fast. I never thought Kashton would get snug in this truck for awhile. I have to amit when we took him out, it was like a large person sitting in a small chair. Micah had to pull on the truck to get Kash out. This is why we nicked named him Bubba.

Push Mom...........Push!!!!!

Hooray!!!!

One night Kashton started dancing. Micah only got the part of him cheering. Aunt Tangi would be so proud of his moves and cheering skills/screaming.

My Little Rocker.....Rock On!!!!!!

This is Blake trying to rock with his tie on. He thinks it makes him do better:)

This is called pirate playing. He balances on one leg and plays. It is sure funny to watch.

Blake gets so intense that he forgets who is around. I catch him not paying attention to me until I snaped the picture. I think the guitar is as big as he is.

I liked this picture because Blake has his foot pointed to help balance the guitar. I think it is so fun to watch. I don't need TV anymore.....kids are enough entertainment.

By Jon JohnsonAssistant EditorPublished on Sunday, August 30, 2009 7:48 PM MST

After growing up in Utah and living in Phoenix for six years, the Mount Graham Regional Medical Center's first-ever female pharmacist, Trisha French, is proud to call the Gila Valley her home.French grew up in Cedar City, Utah, and said the hometown feel of the Gila Valley reminds her of her birthplace with one major difference – she doesn't have to deal with copious amounts of snow.After graduating from Southern Utah University in Cedar City, French went to graduate school at Midwestern University – Glendale Campus and fell in love with Arizona. Trisha French is the Mount Graham Regional Medical Center's first-ever female pharmacist.

She stayed in the Phoenix area and worked at the large Sun Health Boswell Hospital in Sun City, but she and her husband, Thatcher native Micah French, soon decided they wanted to live near family.The couple first moved back to Trisha's hometown in Utah, but she soon realized she had become acclimated to Arizona's warmer weather and they decided to move to the Gila Valley."I couldn't handle the snow," she said.While in Cedar City, Micah applied to nursing school at SUU and the Eastern Arizona College. He was accepted at both institutions, and the decision was made to move back to Arizona.The couple arrived in March, and Trisha began working as a pharmacist at Wal-Mart. It was there where she first experienced the Gila Valley's small-town feel, which she now says is one of her favorite parts of the Gila Valley."I like the people," she said. "The people are very friendly and get to know you. You always feel welcome."She joined the hospital staff as its first-ever female pharmacist Aug. 20 and said, besides feeling a little pressure to perform well, she didn't think it was a big deal."It's good to let people know that, 'Hey, you can do it,' " she said. "Gender is not a factor. It's what you know and who you are."Trisha said she liked working retail and at hospitals equally, but added that MGRMC was special because it has the same small-town feel as the community."I went to eat lunch on Monday, and Dr. Lee (came) up and (sat) down and started talking to us," she said. "You don't get that in a big hospital. You usually stay in your little departments. I think that's amazing."Trisha said she has fallen in love with the Gila Valley and hopes her husband will be able to find a nursing job after he graduates so they can continue to live here. One of her long-term goals is to teach a class or two at EAC because she loves to teach. She said there are various specializations of pharmacy that makes it a wide-open field for those interested in the business."I think it's easy to fall in love with this little town," she said. "We would love to stay."


This came out the sunday I was working at Walmart. I had over 3 customers/friends ask for an autograph that day. The funniest one was the on Monday I was at the bank and a random guy comes up and asks me if I am the person in the paper then asks for my autograph in a teasing matter. I was a little embarssed by that. I guess I am big news in Gila Valley.

Hanging out with my Little Man

Daddy caught us watching a movie and cuddling on the cough. He didn't believe that it was mommy and Blake day. We decided to let him join us, but he had to sit in the chair.

I could not resist getting some kisses from my Little Man. This is the best thing about being a mom is the fact that your kids want to spend all thier time with you. I can see why parents are always sad when their kids become teens or so independant that you are not the greatest person to hang out with. It is a good thing I have alot more years before that happens....right?

Hoover Dam

On our way back we went through Vegas. I could not believe how close they are getting to having the Hoover Dam completed. Here are some pictures of the new structure.

I saw the flag on top and thought of 9/11. I got a feeling of patriotism seeing that flag flying high. Also you can see the men working up there in the middle. This is the middle of the canyon. I would not have the stomach for that job.

Here is my kiddos sitting in their seats like good boys. Wanted them to know that they were here when it was being built. Though the trip was long Blake and Kashton did very well. They are great travelers as long as you have a movie and their phones.

12 hour trip to Cedar

I left the kiddos with Grandma and this is what I came back to:)


Kashton sitting in the rocker chillaxing in front of the TV

Blake sitting in the other rocker shocked I caught them sitting. After 12 hours in the car yesterday he had alot of energy to express. I guess he got most of it out helping Grandpa.

Finally, Grandma Boyer looking over the geneology paperwork she was working on. She had two phones by her just in cause of calls. I wonder if she would talk on both if they rang at the same time. I think the cell phone is more for when the family calls (which is often) and the home phone is for all other calls. I know if Grandma does not answer one I start calling the other. I guess that is what happens when you have 5 daughters that love to talk to their mother:)

We had alot of fun in Utah. It was nicer weather and we could stand being outside during the day. Grandpa gave Blake a haircut but somehow Kashton did not get one. I think he is playing favorites to the ones who will sit still on command. I guess Kashton will have to wait until Grandpa comes to visit us.

While we were there it hailed....Yes, hailed!!! We were at Tangi's and playing outback. All the kids were under the porch except Karson. I had to run out and save Karson from the hail. He was to shocked to move. They were the size dime or penny.

Aquatic Center

Blake was scared and not happy about all the water. He probably was thinking that he just started learning to swim and now his parents were going to see if he would sink or swim.

Grandma is becoming a great photographer. Blake finally tried one of the slides. He loved it so much he went again and again.

Kashton is trying out the lazy river. He loved the water.

The water park had jumpers in the water. Kashton didn't know what to think.

Our family outing to the Washington rec center. Tangi went with us and Kassi went down the big slide. Karson and Kashton hung out in the little pool. Though Kassi was more daring than Blake, Blake had alot of fun and started warming up by the end of the day. The place was awesome and we want to go back soon.

Kashton's Year Old Pics

Nine Years Together and Still Going Strong!!!

These are the roses that Micah gave me for our anniversary.


Kashton likes smelling roses!!!

I can't believe that we have been married for 9 years. I just don't feel that old I guess. Looking back there has been more good times than bad. It is easier to push forward knowing that we made it this far. Why not another 9 years?...right:)
We have been blessed with two hansome boys that are so full of love, kisses, smiles, and energy. Just to give a low down of the week. On Monday, I came home for lunch and saw a beautiful vase full of red roses. I turned to Micah and asked...."Why is there roses on the table?..... What did you do?" Micah smiled and said, do you know what tomorrow is? Stupid struck I stared thinking. Duh, Our Anniversary!! I asked why he got them a day early (a little confused). He said because we are leaving to phoenix tomorrow and I wanted you to enjoy them. What a Hubby!!! Here he was on top of it, remembering and I was forgetting. Wait....there is more? The day of, we were in Phoenix and I was going to a play called "Wicked" with my friend Dondra and 6 other ladies. Yes, I know it was our anniversary, but Dondra said she would watch our kids the next night so we could have a romantic night out. Beside the fact that my bag was the only bag forgotten back home we had a wonderful anniversary. Thanks Honey.......you are the GREATEST!!!!. I truely love you with all my heart.
Happy Anniversary Micah!!
