After spending a couple of days in Winston-Salem we traveled to Kitty Hawk and spent 5 days in a beach house.  It was amazing!!!!  Our days were spent sleeping in, playing on the beach, playing in the ocean, shopping and spending time together.  The kids loved playing with their cousins, Andrew loved being able to hang out with his brothers and I loved being able to see my family so happy and enjoying our time away. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SpGRwM9FJWI/AAAAAAAAAJs/gj02WhzaDvI/s1600-h/Summer+09+168.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373236087726876002" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SpGRwM9FJWI/AAAAAAAAAJs/gj02WhzaDvI/s320/Summer+09+168.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SpGRcD8P8uI/AAAAAAAAAJk/Bw6EiZJj_cw/s1600-h/Summer+09+170.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373235741710086882" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SpGRcD8P8uI/AAAAAAAAAJk/Bw6EiZJj_cw/s320/Summer+09+170.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SpGQExgI3DI/AAAAAAAAAJU/vTfO4AFhhpc/s1600-h/Summer+09+178.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373234242111724594" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SpGQExgI3DI/AAAAAAAAAJU/vTfO4AFhhpc/s320/Summer+09+178.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373234004249493090" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SpGP27ZXPmI/AAAAAAAAAJM/JE_HAs1NZtI/s320/Summer+09+177.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SpGOJhkltQI/AAAAAAAAAJE/1cAzlaZ6fec/s1600-h/Summer+09+044.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373232124711515394" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SpGOJhkltQI/AAAAAAAAAJE/1cAzlaZ6fec/s320/Summer+09+044.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SpGNpkEjNoI/AAAAAAAAAI0/N6qbcp_XOqk/s1600-h/Summer+09+038.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373231575626626690" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SpGNpkEjNoI/AAAAAAAAAI0/N6qbcp_XOqk/s320/Summer+09+038.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Sweet little Isa has been asking to get her ears pierced, lucky for us Criseida waited til we could all be there to see her.

The kids had so much fun playing in the ocean and riding the waves. The last day we were there, the waves were huge due to the fact that Hurricane Bill was on his way. One of the times the kids were in the water, Kaitlyn let out a huge scream and came running into shore, I guess she had looked behind her at the wave and it was full of hundreds of little fish, scared the poor girl. Didn't take long and she was right back out in the water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SpGHNWpHuiI/AAAAAAAAAHc/QgTk4KdSWWA/s1600-h/Summer+09+059.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373224493915814434" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SpGHNWpHuiI/AAAAAAAAAHc/QgTk4KdSWWA/s320/Summer+09+059.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Rueben and Criseida at graduation.

Everything &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;i've&lt;/span&gt; ever done good in my life is because of you both.  I will never ever ever ever be able to possibly repay you, but when &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;i'm&lt;/span&gt; rich I hope the multiple houses and spa like daily treatment will reflect my appreciation."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-Love, Emilie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/Si3W7x1OMPI/AAAAAAAAAOI/yuDmsXDgWOk/s1600-h/100_3092.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345164655235838194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/Si3W7x1OMPI/AAAAAAAAAOI/yuDmsXDgWOk/s400/100_3092.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; One down and three to go.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Emilie received a lot of advice from numerous speakers during her graduation.  I'm sure it'll serve her well with what's ahead, however, I'm hear to tell you something.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Emilie what you possess is seldom learned, and if so it's attained in a lifetime.  You embody so many qualities at such a young age that I am jealous.  Looking at you in these pictures I think of the dedication and passion you show in life.  It does my heart well to know that I had a part in that, even if a small one.  I know how impressionable I was at your age, and how my brother impacted me in my own goals.  The greatest gift I feel you gave us wasn't that coveted piece of paper, but that you paved the way for your little sisters and brother.  You have shown them that if you want something then make it happen.  We love you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2817766499629020230-37447491384264456?l=theblancasbunch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/feeds/37447491384264456/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2817766499629020230&amp;postID=37447491384264456' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/37447491384264456'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/37447491384264456'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/2009/06/congraduations-emilie.html' title='Congraduations Emilie!!'/><author><name>Andrew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05273264015981576853</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/Si3YOKVLS9I/AAAAAAAAAO4/ORN8l697Hcc/s72-c/100_3070.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817766499629020230.post-1258270322021033678</id><published>2009-05-17T18:06:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2009-05-17T18:33:14.947-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Emilie Graduation Pics</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/ShCsxLTtN_I/AAAAAAAAAOA/2gKTAmq7lG8/s1600-h/DSCF5613.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336955519283050482" style="DISPLAY: block;

He's all proper in his approach.  He told me on the range that I need to start off with my smaller clubs and work up.

Me and Bryson were throwing down bets of who could hit the closest to the pole and making fun of each other when we shanked the ball.  Granted I shanked it more than he did, but boy a crisp clean hit makes it all worthwhile.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SeJ0-W2rfdI/AAAAAAAAALw/QFKz3SYw2Xk/s1600-h/100_2931.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323946324140981714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SeJ0-W2rfdI/AAAAAAAAALw/QFKz3SYw2Xk/s400/100_2931.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Paige had the opportunity to try out her new clubs.  Thanks again Steve!  She hits really well with them.  We still need to get her a driver and putter though.  She was using Bryson's driver and it seemed to be the right size.

So hard to believe that Bree is 16.  I have no idea where the time has gone.  She brings so much attitude and laughter to our home.  Bree loves to sing(not the best at it though), she loves to eat(unhealthy food--ice cream, cookies, chips, salsa, pizza), she loves to sleep(she can have a 2 hour nap after school and still be in bed by 10)she loves to play volleyball(she is working so hard to develop her skills to become a better player week after week) and she is very protective of her family(Kaitlyn doesn't appreciate this one right now with the boys that are after her!!!)  Bree has a huge heart, keeps it hidden at times but is such a sweetheart.  This whole teenage thing is tough, she went through a time when she really didn't want to hang out with her mom but now she likes me again!!! YAY!!  Its so awesome when she says to me do you company when I am going to the store and running an errand, of course I need company.  We love you Bree and are so proud of the young woman you are becoming&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2817766499629020230-1754944343738022862?l=theblancasbunch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/feeds/1754944343738022862/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2817766499629020230&amp;postID=1754944343738022862' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/1754944343738022862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/1754944343738022862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/2009/03/sweet-16.html' title='Sweet 16'/><author><name>Paige</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06852557563154221072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SbHS8ufUfrI/AAAAAAAAAHI/Tuq-8U76fxc/s72-c/100_2616.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817766499629020230.post-8036713965964228444</id><published>2009-02-23T18:35:00.003-07:00</published><updated>2009-02-23T18:42:37.104-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy Birthday Mom</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SaNPPVIhhMI/AAAAAAAAAGg/OeIcZbHmaWs/s1600-h/100_1841.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306171910762104002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SaNPPVIhhMI/AAAAAAAAAGg/OeIcZbHmaWs/s320/100_1841.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Happy Birthday mom!!!  I have to say I am so lucky to have the mom I do.  How grateful I am for the grandma she has been to my kids.  She has created so many memories for my kids, memories that the kids will forever remember.  How grateful I am for the sacrifices she has made for me throughout my life. There are many times that I truly would have been lost if I did not have her to back me up or pick me up.  Thank you, mom, for being who you are and for loving me and my family.

Bryson is an amazing kid.  He is the type of kid that has the biggest heart but likes to keep it well hidden.  This winter one of our neighbors has been so sick, Bryson has been the first one at their house to shovel whenever it snows.  No one has asked, he has just done it.  He is so excited for this Sunday when he will be ordained as a deacon and be able to pass the sacrament.  Bryson loves his sisters or should we say loves to bug his sisters, its fun to see the interaction with all of them.  Bryson loves to golf and has become very good at it.  Luckily for him, I am getting a new set of clubs soon and will be able to join him on the course.  Bryson loves to get down on the ground and play with his cute cousins.  He has also enjoyed being able to snowboard this winter.  Bryson, we love you so much and are so happy you are part of our family.   Happy B-day, bud&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2817766499629020230-8425367405576396215?l=theblancasbunch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/feeds/8425367405576396215/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2817766499629020230&amp;postID=8425367405576396215' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/8425367405576396215'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/8425367405576396215'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/2008/12/happy-birthday-bryson.html' title='Happy Birthday Bryson'/><author><name>Paige</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06852557563154221072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SVq7AOm382I/AAAAAAAAAGA/DRB40r0DCCw/s72-c/100_1994.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817766499629020230.post-7559106326598719232</id><published>2008-12-09T20:31:00.006-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T20:43:50.090-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Emilie's photo shoot</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/ST86YzGx9-I/AAAAAAAAAFg/gl9-GwwHPac/s1600-h/97.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emilie was asked by a photographer to do a photo shoot for her senior pictures.

Its so hard to believe we are doing senior pictures, have already ordered her cap and gown and ordered her graduation announcements.

Life has been busy and hopefully this weekend Andrew and I can post some pictures. But today I need to pay tribute to my dad. He passed away unexpectedly on Sunday. He spent Saturday in Malad with one of his best friends riding the 4-wheelers, something he loved to do. And then Sunday morning he didn't wake up. Its so hard to put into words how I feel, its such an empty feeling. I am so grateful to have been his daughter and am so thankful for all that he has taught me. My kids will grately miss their grandpa and I will so miss my dad. I am so grateful for my faith and how it is somehow giving me some comfort that I can have the opportunity to see him again one day.

It was quite the affair.  It's been really interesting for myself because I was always the young guy going to pick up my date.  I'll tell you now that seeing things from the other side was hillarious.  This picture below has really nothing to do with the dance, but Kaitlyn needed to make her cameo appearance and I think it does a fine job of showing just how crazy girls are about doing their hair.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SPJNUHZSTGI/AAAAAAAAAHs/OP-VxVnrPf8/s1600-h/100_2598.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256348723072617570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SPJNUHZSTGI/AAAAAAAAAHs/OP-VxVnrPf8/s400/100_2598.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This being Breanna's first dance warrants some commentary.  I'll tell you now that she tried to play it pretty cool, but she was such a spaz (true to her Bree fashion).  I love the picture below because her facial expression shows it all.  I don't think she had any idea what to expect and it was wonderful to watch her act awkward in front of us.  Thank goodness for big sisters though.  I think Emilie had to redo the wrist corsage because it was dangling from her arm, and sure enough she attached the boutonneire to her date as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SPJNDa1MZ9I/AAAAAAAAAHk/Hdygnnh1ibE/s1600-h/100_2626.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256348436232169426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SPJNDa1MZ9I/AAAAAAAAAHk/Hdygnnh1ibE/s400/100_2626.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SPJM4fHeFhI/AAAAAAAAAHc/ueX0KZS2Abo/s1600-h/100_2616.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256348248404006418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SPJM4fHeFhI/AAAAAAAAAHc/ueX0KZS2Abo/s400/100_2616.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Simply Stunning!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SPJMt3IFNcI/AAAAAAAAAHU/MT29xayz48Y/s1600-h/100_2640.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256348065870460354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SPJMt3IFNcI/AAAAAAAAAHU/MT29xayz48Y/s400/100_2640.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This is one of my fav's for Emilie.

Happy!!  That is except Bryson's face and I am sure thats how he feels having to deal with all of our 500 activities during the week.  Since school has started for the kids, we have been going none stop.  Emilie can usually be found in front of the computer or on her bed doing homework. She has 5 college classes on top of her 3 other classes at the high school.  If I could do it over again, I would be smart like her and get a jump start on college.  Bree can usually be found at the high school playing volleyball, she has been playing so well and loving being on the team.  She just got ask to the Homecoming dance so dress shopping we will go!!  Kaitlyn, well the girl plays soccer 6 days a week and volleyball 5 days a week.  How she is managing to stay on top of her homework, I have no idea but she is doing awesome.  Bryson plays dodgeball 3 days a week, has karate 2 times a week, scouts and golfs every chance he gets.  And then there is Andrew!!  Can I just say I love that man.  I am so stinkin' lucky to have found him.  He is always so willing to help me get kids from one place to another or go to a game if I can't get there.  His job is keeping him so busy and he will finish his bachelors this fall, Yay!!!  I am so blessed to have the family I do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2817766499629020230-8678687412218570004?l=theblancasbunch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/feeds/8678687412218570004/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2817766499629020230&amp;postID=8678687412218570004' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/8678687412218570004'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/8678687412218570004'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/2008/09/happy-times.html' title='Happy times'/><author><name>Paige</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06852557563154221072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SNb9xywfXlI/AAAAAAAAAE4/rXOXvlY6rI8/s72-c/wedding+096.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817766499629020230.post-586719548172100839</id><published>2008-08-29T18:57:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2008-08-29T19:02:31.055-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Congrats Kaitlyn</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SLibhYTNikI/AAAAAAAAAEs/h9ThaA00DU4/s1600-h/100_1652.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240109164206590530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SLibhYTNikI/AAAAAAAAAEs/h9ThaA00DU4/s320/100_1652.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; So Kaitlyn just made the junior high volleyball team!!

They were all really excited to start this year.   Bryson is in 6th grade and has an awesome teacher.  Kaitlyn is in 8th and I think is kinda glad that Bree isn't at the junior high to tell the boys to stop flirting with her little sister.  Bree started high school this year, I know that she has been really nervous cause she realizes she is growing up and has to start getting serious just a little bit.  And then there is Emilie, our big senior this year (yes the freakin' eyes are welling up with tears!!!) She has so many college classes this year its insane!!!  I hope she is able to enjoy some of it and not study the year away. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We are so proud of our kids&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2817766499629020230-6443515227500237692?l=theblancasbunch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/feeds/6443515227500237692/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2817766499629020230&amp;postID=6443515227500237692' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/6443515227500237692'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/6443515227500237692'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/2008/08/first-day-of-school.html' title='First Day of School'/><author><name>Paige</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06852557563154221072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SLiX2VffdvI/AAAAAAAAAEU/fKAWRGac_qw/s72-c/100_2548.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817766499629020230.post-1634567018050261395</id><published>2008-08-27T22:06:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2008-08-27T22:21:37.045-06:00</updated><title type='text'>The crazy life</title><content type='html'>Pictures will have to come later--too tired to download them!!   So much has happened the past week or so.  First I guess school started.  Such mixed feelings about that one.  So happy to have the kids back in school, but Emilie started her senior year!!  And I cried.  Bree started high school this year!! And I cried.  Kait is in 8th grade, ok with that one.  Bryson started his last year in elementary school!!! And I cried.  My mom always told me to enjoy them while they are little cause they grow so fast, mom was so right.  It has been amazing watching them grow into such awesome kids, but its going faster than I would like.  Andrew keeps telling me to get a hobby, I am thinking I need to take his advice.  Kaitlyn made the junior high volleyball team this week. So proud of her!!  And then some sad news today,  Em's cute new little car is not so cute anymore.  Today at lunch some stupid guy pulled out in front of the girls as they were going to lunch.  The car is totalled!!!  When I got to the accident, I just cried, to see how smashed that car was and to see my girls running to me, crying!!  I am so incredibly grateful they are ok, a little sore from the impact, Em's face is sore from the airbag hitting her.  But they are ok!!!  The car can be replaced, my girls well I am just happy to hug them tonite.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2817766499629020230-1634567018050261395?l=theblancasbunch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/feeds/1634567018050261395/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2817766499629020230&amp;postID=1634567018050261395' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/1634567018050261395'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/1634567018050261395'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/2008/08/crazy-life.html' title='The crazy life'/><author><name>Paige</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06852557563154221072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817766499629020230.post-3436038428639098003</id><published>2008-08-17T13:47:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2008-08-17T14:11:08.198-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Go Breanna!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SKiDFTPExlI/AAAAAAAAAG8/7fRGQaCQxEM/s1600-h/random-graduation+091.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SKiDFTPExlI/AAAAAAAAAG8/7fRGQaCQxEM/s400/random-graduation+091.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235578693904287314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Say Hello to the newest member of NorthRidge's High School Volleyball Team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This accomplishment didn't come with ease.

This picture is about 4 or 5 yrs old, its one of my favorite.  Bryson is smart, full of energy, always wanting to tell a joke, and loves to bug his big sisters.  This past summer Bryson has been taking golf lessons and has loved it.  He has also started karate this past spring and looks forward to earning his different belts.  Bryson has a huge heart, he likes to keep it hidden at times, but one thing is sure we know that he loves us.

I am so proud of them for going even without the happiest of attitude about the whole idea of walking for miles and miles, sleeping under the stars and eating who knows what.  Seeing the girls come home last night with yucky hair, sunburnt faces, and blisters on their feet has humbled me so much.  To think of the pioneers having to experience that day after day until they reached Utah amazes me.  I am so thankful for their sacrifices and their faith to endure so much for us.  My great-great-great grandfather was Lot Smith, who was partners with Porter Rockwell in the Mormon Battalion, is truly one of my heros.  He fought for what he believed in to bring his family to Utah and following the footsteps of our prophets.  He later became the first sheriff of Davis County.  I know that as the pioneers made their way across the plains we cheered for them while we were in heaven knowing they were laying the stepping stones for us, and I am sure those same pioneers are in heaven cheering us on while all that this world has for us to overcome.  We all live in comfortable homes with beds to sleep in, food on our tables, but we deal with all the other evils in the world.  I want Em and Bree to know how proud I am for them and for strength to complete the trek.  They are also my heroes.   Love you girls!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2817766499629020230-8543307964101469298?l=theblancasbunch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/feeds/8543307964101469298/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2817766499629020230&amp;postID=8543307964101469298' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/8543307964101469298'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/8543307964101469298'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/2008/07/flashback-friday.html' title='Flashback Friday'/><author><name>Paige</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06852557563154221072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SHj2Ft9KptI/AAAAAAAAADM/x3fus5zCpL0/s72-c/100_2425.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817766499629020230.post-2195083485818268901</id><published>2008-07-08T18:57:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2008-07-08T19:08:21.917-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy B-day Gma</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SHQPM9AuRKI/AAAAAAAAAF8/bsFck3TXMc8/s1600-h/100_2390.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220814583239689378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SHQPM9AuRKI/AAAAAAAAAF8/bsFck3TXMc8/s400/100_2390.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Happy Birthday Grandma I feel so lucky to still have my grandma.

I can hardly blame them. For that reason they will be getting my old computer when I get a new one, and will have required gaming hours. Also when they're older they can hear me rant about stupid people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SG6wdygsViI/AAAAAAAAAEE/pSXFQ54u6PY/s1600-h/100_2337.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219303043990574626" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SG6wdygsViI/AAAAAAAAAEE/pSXFQ54u6PY/s320/100_2337.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our better halves...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What you can't see is me and Bennie thinking...maybe we should switch spots with our wives. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;Haha&lt;/span&gt;!

She is so busy with working and her school activities that its best she gets her own. She wants a white Jetta!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is Andrew when he purchased his first vehicle. The girls only wish he still owned it!!! They love it. We love listening to Andrew's stories with this jeep, good and bad (like the trip to Colorado to see his family:( ) I had a little yellow bug, that was broken down more than it actually worked. Em is a smart girl so we are hoping she makes a good decision. So if any knows of a white jetta for sale, we are open to help on this one.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2817766499629020230-388534178839271332?l=theblancasbunch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/feeds/388534178839271332/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2817766499629020230&amp;postID=388534178839271332' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/388534178839271332'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/388534178839271332'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/2008/06/flashback-friday_28.html' title='Flashback Friday'/><author><name>Paige</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06852557563154221072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SGZssiambHI/AAAAAAAAADE/YkoqxiA5E1E/s72-c/100_1701.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817766499629020230.post-1488319208890129416</id><published>2008-06-21T21:35:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2008-06-21T21:45:32.843-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Flashback Friday</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SF3I3dDBHyI/AAAAAAAAACk/sx95J75WsvQ/s1600-h/swimsuit.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214544798580547362" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SF3I3dDBHyI/AAAAAAAAACk/sx95J75WsvQ/s320/swimsuit.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I meant to do this yesterday but the day was filled with family activities. One of my best friends since junior high posts a flashback friday and I love seeing the cute posts so sorry Jeni but I am going to take after you and do it.  This fun picture is when we were in high school:)  Every summer Jeni and I would go to East Canyon with my parents for a week. We loved it. Laying by the pool, flirting with the boys, sleeping in and eating yummy little cheesecakes that my mom would make us. I want Jeni to know how much I love her, we don't see each other a whole lot even though we live 3minutes away but I know if I ever needed anything I could call her.  Love ya Jen, and don't hate me for posting this picture.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2817766499629020230-1488319208890129416?l=theblancasbunch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/feeds/1488319208890129416/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2817766499629020230&amp;postID=1488319208890129416' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/1488319208890129416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/1488319208890129416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/2008/06/flashback-friday.html' title='Flashback Friday'/><author><name>Paige</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06852557563154221072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SF3I3dDBHyI/AAAAAAAAACk/sx95J75WsvQ/s72-c/swimsuit.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817766499629020230.post-6611622423141091394</id><published>2008-06-15T20:13:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2008-06-15T20:37:29.514-06:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SFXNYghz89I/AAAAAAAAAB8/97dzV2TKIao/s1600-h/random-graduation+135.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212297964683523026" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SFXNYghz89I/AAAAAAAAAB8/97dzV2TKIao/s320/random-graduation+135.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This post is for our little soccer girl, Kaitlyn.  For the past 3 yrs we have had the opportunity to compete in the Summer games in Cedar City. This year we played against some of the best teams in the state.  The girls played so hard and won all their games up until the last one, which was for the gold. We still won the Silver medal though. Kaitlyn played so hard and well, in fact the last game she played the whole game except for about 3 minutes the second half. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SFXNQvyGMtI/AAAAAAAAAB0/wRgciZJmrwc/s1600-h/random-graduation+136.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212297831339406034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SFXNQvyGMtI/AAAAAAAAAB0/wRgciZJmrwc/s320/random-graduation+136.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;                                                  Kait with one of her good friends that&lt;br /&gt;                                                    we played against and won 2-1!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SFXNDaiUBwI/AAAAAAAAABs/IRF_yPOrq0c/s1600-h/random-graduation+076.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212297602297759490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SFXNDaiUBwI/AAAAAAAAABs/IRF_yPOrq0c/s320/random-graduation+076.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;                                                     Showing us some of her mad skills&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SFXMnGhacmI/AAAAAAAAABk/9W0PPCTA9Oo/s1600-h/random-graduation+138.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212297115888939618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SFXMnGhacmI/AAAAAAAAABk/9W0PPCTA9Oo/s320/random-graduation+138.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;                                               Looks like she is running after the ball and&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;                                               trying to listen to her coach at the same time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SFXMdFPGppI/AAAAAAAAABc/ry9Dl604KOg/s1600-h/random-graduation+144.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212296943745017490" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SFXMdFPGppI/AAAAAAAAABc/ry9Dl604KOg/s320/random-graduation+144.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;After the final game, the team was able to receive their silver medals.  This is a picture of the team posing for pictures with their medals.  We have loved going to the Summer games. We are sad though this was our last time. Next summer our coach is wanting to take our girls to England to train and watch a couple of professional games in Manchester.  We are so proud of Kaitlyn, she never complains about practice(2-3x a wk) or having to play games in the snow or the extreme heat.  She loves it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We love you, Kake&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2817766499629020230-6611622423141091394?l=theblancasbunch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/feeds/6611622423141091394/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2817766499629020230&amp;postID=6611622423141091394' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/6611622423141091394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/6611622423141091394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/2008/06/this-post-is-for-our-little-soccer-girl.html' title=''/><author><name>Paige</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06852557563154221072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_Wo4TFurDx_o/SFXNYghz89I/AAAAAAAAAB8/97dzV2TKIao/s72-c/random-graduation+135.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817766499629020230.post-6626368837469234557</id><published>2008-06-01T21:10:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2008-06-01T21:27:57.561-06:00</updated><title type='text'>2nd Anniversary!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;It's the funniest thing.  I'm sitting here with Paige as we make this blog and we're both speechless.  I think we know in our hearts how we feel towards each other but can't put it into words.  I love my wife dearly, and I know she cares for me.  Between the high's and low's we remain each others best friend.  Life is hectic so i'm glad I can post some pics and remember how it was to take a second and think of how much we were meant to be together.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SENlcdZo-aI/AAAAAAAAADU/IKMQjxuaSz4/s1600-h/engagement4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207117133773339042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SENlcdZo-aI/AAAAAAAAADU/IKMQjxuaSz4/s320/engagement4.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SENlGDdT6bI/AAAAAAAAADM/ybhn03hY2v0/s1600-h/engagement2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207116748852292018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SENlGDdT6bI/AAAAAAAAADM/ybhn03hY2v0/s320/engagement2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Anniversary babe!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2817766499629020230-6626368837469234557?l=theblancasbunch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/feeds/6626368837469234557/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2817766499629020230&amp;postID=6626368837469234557' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/6626368837469234557'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817766499629020230/posts/default/6626368837469234557'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theblancasbunch.blogspot.com/2008/06/2nd-anniversary.html' title='2nd Anniversary!'/><author><name>Andrew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05273264015981576853</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_c3I8Rbczfmg/SENlcdZo-aI/AAAAAAAAADU/IKMQjxuaSz4/s72-c/engagement4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817766499629020230.post-2738220246426168091</id><published>2008-05-20T20:55:00.015-06:00</published><updated>2008-05-20T21:23:30.227-06:00</updated><title type='text'>I want to paint your face.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;While in DisneyLand we decided to sample the local custom of face painting.

She gets along with Libby, has been going potty outside, and likes me most. I'm sure people will argue that point, but we all know the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On that note i'm asking $800.00 cash to take this bundle of joy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Haha!
