I just can't get enough

While we were in Utah, Zach and his brother Rob took off to go fishing in British Columbia again.

Here is a slide show of his pictures.

Want an Apple?

It is apple season so we decided to go apple pickin'. Jacob and MaKayla were in school so Zach, Abigail and I went to Crane Orchards on Thursday and picked apples. To our surprise all of the apple trees where only about 6-7 feet tall. We didn't even have to use ladders. Abigail had so much fun. I think she bit into every apple she picked. I felt bad that Jacob and MaKayla missed out on all the fun so Saturday we went back and also took Ryan (Zach's brother) and Morgan (Ryan's 2 &1/2 yr. old) The kids had a great time.

New Babies!!

Friday morning we woke up to find 11 new baby bunnies. If our calculations are correct she got pregnant either right before or after we got home from our trip to Utah were not sure which. If it happened before we got home we have the neighbor kids to blame, if it happened after we got home well then it was MaKayla and Jacob. Either way we have alot of homes to find in about 2 months. Two of the babies have died since birth leaving 9 babies to raise. The kids are of course loving it. They check on them all the time and want to hold them so bad. I already have my favorite. It is a black runt. It is the cutest thing. It is about half the size of the rest. I think we will be keeping that one if it survives. They all seem to be doing really well and the momma bunny is a great mom. If anyone wants a bunny you know where to go.

Back to School

Monday was Jacob and MaKayla's first day in the 1st grade. They were so excited to go and see all their friends from Kindergarden. Abigail wanted to go with them. She also wanted her picture taken too. She asked me all day "Where's Jacob and Lala."

Utah

The MacPherson Family left for Utah on Mon., July 23rd at 10pm and arrived at Mom and Dad's at about 7pm Tues. Mom and Dad were not expecting us till Wed evening, but we decided to surprise them. We had such a great time. We went camping, fishing, four-wheeling, swimming, shopping, we did it all. At least almost all. We visited Temple Square and got to see Zach's brothers Rob and Jay and their families. It was wonderful to see all my family and I really appreciated all those who took the time to come see us while we were there. We told my parents that since they hadn't had much rain that we would bring some with them. Well the MacPherson's deliver.

Yes, We are still alive.

It has been a while since I updated our blog and since we have so much family all over the world now, I thought that I had better get it going again. We have had a busy summer. I was busy in the yard, making it beautiful. Zach told me that I was addicted to my yard. He was right. Every spare minute I had I was outside planting flowers or digging up grass to make new flower beds.

We have really enjoyed having a house and the kids have made some great friends. We love having the association park practically in our back yard. The kids have been out there almost all summer. We had the chance to finally go camping in Michigan. Yes there are some beautiful camping areas in Michigan. The kids had a great time. They especially like going to the drive-in movie theater that was in this little town near where we camped. We also had the chance to go to Virginia Beach, Ohio, Illinois, and Utah this summer.

Once there was a snowman

Snow, Snow, Snow This is Jacob and MaKayla's first snowman of the winter. We recieved alot of snow the first part of December but it is all melted now so we are not going to have a white christmas. That's ok as long as we are together that's all that matters.

The MacPherson Family

Merry Christmas!
We want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We are so excited to celebrate Christmas in our new home. We are so thankful for our Heavenly Father and the gift he gave to us, his son Jesus Christ. We love you all.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween. I hope that everyone had a fun and spooky Halloween. We had fun at the ward trunk or treat and the kids got a lot of candy trick or treating in our new neighborhood. MaKayla was a fairy, Jacob was of course Darth Vader and I was an Indian and Abby was my papoose.

Our new house

This is our new house. We purchased it the end of August and we are so excited. It has 3 bedrooms 1 bath but has a basement with 2 more bedrooms and a bathroom that is almost finished. We are finally getting everything put in its place and decorating. It is looking great. We had new carpet installed and painted everything. The yard needs alot of work but that will be a big project for next spring. We want everyone to know that you are all invited to visit now that we have room for you to stay with us. We would love to have you come. Mom and Dad, Jordan and Derrick are comming to see us in January and we are so excited to show off the new house.

Guess what I did this summer?

This is Zach's 30lb Salmon.
This is Zach's 57lb Halibut.

Zach went to British Columbia with his 2 brothers and dad. They stayed on a floating lodge and had their own boat all day long and a fishing guide for 4 hours a day. Zach's largest fish was a Salmon that was 30lbs and a Halibut that was 57lbs. It was an incredible trip.
This picture was actually Zach's fish but he let his brother reel it in. It was a 37 lb Salmon. Guess what we will be eating this year.

Hi everyone! Happy Spring!!!
