Well to those who don't know Shea is home and is getting all the attention Lance can give him. It is really funny because it like daddy watch me and daddy play with me,that's all he thinks about. Anyway, other news my mom/grandma/great grandma Schoppmann got her port out and is doing okay, but is really sore. Amanda is playing basketball and David is cheering (in the crowd) for the cedar high team. Man you should see how good they are at getting loud and getting the team playing hard. As for Aubree she is doing excel cheer and may go to Disney Land to perform for nationals , meaning that we get to go to Disney Land if they get into nationals.(Don't worry she is already looking at hotels to stay in)

Hello, since i haven't been on for a while i decided to catch up. Since we moved, this year for Christmas we are spending it at Grandma Schoppmann's house and we have not one but two Christmas trees. One is a breast cancer tree for Grandma and one is ours that we usually have,red and green, with all our year one's on it. This Christmas we have the best present of all,SHEA!!!!!!!!!!!! Man we all have missed him and are so exited for him to come home

Kannarra Falls

Well, I have decided not to try and catch up I am just going to start adding some things here and there when I get a chance. So we went on a hike to Kannarra Falls, I can't believe I have never been before. I have lived in Cedar my whole life...never been, all I can say is if you ever get the chance to go you need to. It is absolutely breath taking with the sandstone cliffs and the water and it's so green...beautiful!!

K, so these are the pictures before it started to rain it was beautiful. Then, as we started to walk out it started to rain.... wait did I say pour like great big buckets!! Yes, I did say pour, we were so wet and then just as we were walking in to town yup it stopped and was beautiful again. Us not so much.

A little bit of FUN...

Lance just being a darling little boy what more can I say.
He is now 14 months old, he is such a blessing to our family.

Our family or Amanda which ever way you want to put it has started doing something that the Cardon family has never been a part of. She has now officially competed in two rodeos horse riding and all here she is goat tying, she also did the barrels and pole racing. She has the most darling friend ever and her family has allowed her to ride their horse and have also showed her what to do. We just love their family and are so greatful for their generosity.

I have always loved to build and create so this is my new passion Cake Making. This was a wedding cake for one of Kenzie's friends and what a fun idea to do the cup cake stand.



Here are the kids on the first day of school I can't believe how big they are where did the time go
Here is Amanda she is now in the 5th grade...what a sweet girl she is.
David is now 16 and a Jr. in High school I'm not sure when that happened.
Aubree with her new hair cut she looks absolutely gorgeous it fits her personality perfect only that it makes her look a little older, she is 13 now and in 8th grade.

Help I have been lost for almost a year!!!

Well, it is a good thing that time stands still right, because if not everyone would have changed in the last year. Good thing if you are part of my family we are still celebrating Christmas what a horrid thought! Well, in real life we have changed and we are all older so I am hoping to update our blog so everyone can see what we have been up to. To begin with I will just post a few pictures to ease into blogging again so bare with me.

We did celebrate Easter by having a picnic at Zion.
This is the view from weeping rock one of my favorite hikes.

David went to the Jr. Prom

Aunt Sue lets us "borrow" her home where the kids all
came to eat their dinner, it was fantastic. Thanks aunt Sue!!

Amanda and Aubree both played softball this spring and David
played baseball I can't seem to find any pictures of
Aubree and David sorry guys.

Lance celebrated his first birthday, notice the cast he broke his leg
while going down a slide. It really slowed him down for a day or two.

Aubree and Amanda also celebrated their birthday
for those who don't know or have forgotten they
share their birthday. Aubree officially became a teenager
and Amanda is now in double digits.

We have spent a lot of time in the pool this summer.
Lance and grandpa both enjoying an afternoon in the pool.

David playing some baseball he had a good summer
hit a few home runs, had a few diving catches and no
broken bones (someone please knock on wood).

Aubree had a great summer she went river rafting and saw
the Manti pageant for youth conference then went
to girls camp. What a fun summer for her. Well, that's
all for right now in my blogging world see ya soon.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

These are a few pictures of David after his football game this one was taken after the last home game on Cedar's field. This was kinda fun it was also his first game playing varsity.

This is when Cedar played Juan Diego at the beginning of the state play-offs
David is #29 and his friend Kahi is #50. I thought this was a fun picture because
they were both only sophomores.
