Pics of Tag's performance

I thought I uploaded a video, but upon checking my own blog, I have discovered that there is no video. I have tried to upload it twice now and it just isn't happening. I didn't get any pictures of him doing his giddyup dance because I was laughing too hard, but here are some of him and his little class. He was a seahorse. I think he had a good time. He loves to dance. I will continue to try and get the video because it was really cute!

Tag's 30 seconds in the spotlight!

Tag has been taking a class this summer and he had his first performanceWednesday night. He got to dance twice but the first time he just stood there and watched everyone else. This one he was giddiup and riding! It was fun even if it only lasted 30 seconds!

Tagged Again!

1. 10 & 5

10 years ago I wasn't married and Trent was still on his mission-that's crazy to think about. I had just started going to massage school.

5 years ago we had just finished building our house and I believe I was pregnant with Taggert, but didn't know it yet.

5 months ago Tanner was still in First grade, Taggert was in preschool, and Whitley was not sleeping through the night.

5 things I need to do tomorrow:

1. Take Tag to St.George for his preschool class.
2. Clean bathrooms.
3. Change sheets on the beds.
4. School board meeting.
5. Trek reunion with the Ma's and Pa's.

5 bad habits I have:

1. I pick at my kids-noses, ears, eye buggers. I know they all hate it but it is a pet peeve of mine to see little kids with those three parts 0f their faces dirty.
2. Spending more money than I should-my excuse most of the time is, but it was on sale!!
3. I am sure if Trent were here right now he could come up with these last three but I just can't think. I am not saying I am perfect. Anybody who knows me knows that is just not true, but I am having a moment.

5 Places I have lived:

1. Clearfield, Utah
2. Harrisville, Utah
3. South Weber, Utah
4. St. George, Utah
5. Littlefield, Arizona

5 Things people don't know about me:

1. I'm a pretty good shot with a .22
2. I can actually ride a horse pretty good, too.
3. I have a scar on my hip-from a shark bite-ha,ha
4. I thought my sister was going to get better, just like she had done so many times, and then the call came.
5. I wish I would have gotten to know my grandparents better.

I now tag my sister Wendy, Jen Wade, and Kandie

4th of July in Clearfield

The parade was fun this year. Taggert didn't cry when the firetrucks came by, he was clapping, when the cheerleaders came by dancing, Taggert was dancing, probably better than some of the cheerleaders! Whitley looked so cute with her little hat on. The kids had fun chasing after the candy. Trent and I have been reading some books on the Revolutionary War and it has gotten quite emotional for me knowing what the people here in America went through so that I could enjoy all the freedoms that I do. The declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th, 1776, but the war for our independence lasted much longer. We are on the 5th or 6th book in the "Prelude to Glory" series and we are in 1780 with three or four books to go. I guess it's a lot like the pioneers. They were tried and tested to see if they really had faith in God to continue what he asked of them even under the severest persecutions.

Summer in small town Littlefield

Yes, Taggert is swimming naked! Whitley is so hot her cheeks are turning red, and Tanner has a huge toad that was just sitting in the grass. Life is good in a small town!

Messes or Memories

A few months ago I read an article in the Ensign that really bothered me. This dear sweet, obviously drugged up mother wrote that "they didn't make messes at their house, they made memories." I wanted to throw up. I feel it is these kind of people who make the rest of us feel like we just aren't cut out for motherhood. Well, I am here to tell you that at the Reber house, WE MAKE MESSES! And most of our messes have nothing to do with the good memories that we also make!!!!!

Summer Fun

We went to the Manti Pageant a couple of weeks ago and decided to make a camping trip out of it. Tanner has been wanting to go fishing so we did some of that, but we didn't catch any fish. We went to Panguitch Lake, Palisades Lake Resort, and then ended up at Fish Lake. The weather was so cool and nice we didn't want to come home to the heat, but all good things must come to an end(:

Whitley got so dirty, before I put the blanket down, she put a handful of dirt in her mouth!

Trent got out little boat out which the boys loved.
