Update...Feb. 2012

Well...since Lex doesn't live HERE in

ANYMORE... (sad Face)

She doesn't really know what's going on. So from Technology...this is what she knows about us!

Abe is still on a mission, a mission to find an Argentina Queen? WHAT?

Noah's vote is for the last one I think....haha

Gotta love the "fotos" that missionaries think are funny! AND can we just say that this boy has

6 MONTHS left! Holy Smokes!

Where's Waldo/Abe? He's the cute tan one. Can you find him?

That weather down there is pretty hot..so he is getting lots of sun!

Hmmm, lets see what else.

Jazz got a new puppy. Well, more like Aaron (cause Daughty is so mean to him)

Aaron loves his Maggie girl!

Named her Maggie

(they got the dog from Cousin Maggie! How appropriate to name her after Mags!)


Then Jazz flew to Las Vegas to be her with bestie hair school friend, Kelly Royal

Jazz was her birth coach/midwife/baby catcher/doula/haha

Can't wait to hear the story!Pretty girls. Yes Kelly has a little poka dot behind those poka dots. She was one week overdue (I think).

Jazz and Kel tried everything to get her to have the baby before Jazz flew home. They galluped, they walked all over Vegas, but this little guy wanted to come when he was good and ready.

She went in on Thursday at 4:00am

Jazz was with her and little Royal Ray Golightly was born later that afternoon! Maybe Jazz will blog about it on her blog (be watching for it) So glad Jazz got to be there to help her friend through the birth!

We love Kelly like our own! So proud of this momma and Auntie Jazz for being there!

Well that's all for now folks!

Hope you all have a Happy Valentine's, can't wait to see what Todd got me for the big Vday! (haha this is Lex writing and of course I know...but mom doesn't!)



Love you all!

Well well well, it's been awhile.

I'm BAAAAACK!!! Suprise suprise. Lex has more time at work in front of a computer so in her spare time she is going to type for me (My thoughts are her words...get it?) Anyways for non confusions sake. It is me, Pam but Lex is doing the typing and posting. That is confusing. But go with it! :)
If you don't follow Lex's blog, click on her family picture to the right and you can read her's. Or Jasmines or Jer's. Gabe's has sadly disappeared. Click on Abe's to see more about what he's doing right now.
This post will have some pictures and some updates on our life. You can see it's been awhile. So I'll try not to write a lot, but a lot has happened.

Let's see...Where to begin.

I'm going to throw the computer out the window right now. I don't know why THIS giant space is here, but I keep deleting it and it KEEPS coming back to haunt me! GRRR, so just scroll down and continue reading. Thanks for your patience (because mine, Lex, is shot, mind you this is at the END of writing this whole post and it keeps appearing as a space. blah blah blah. Read on.)

The post before this one had 14 people in the family pictures. Then we Took THIS family picture and had 15 people in the family. (Although, funny story, Wade and Autumn were there, but just not part of the family yet, so they snapped the picture for us, low and behold they would end up being in the next one!)
NOW we have 19 people! Awesome how our family grows. I can't BLOG up with them. They grow too fast for how often I blog! :) This picture has the MOST reason additions to the Family. None on the way as of yet! I'm hopeful that when Abe get's home in a year that we'll have a new family picture with new babies..wink wink daughters! (this is lex typing and basically, I know this is what my mom is thinking so I'm just putting it out there, but sorry mom, no babies yet).

Amazing bunch, huh? We kinda like them...okay okay, we LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!! We just got back from visiting Gabe's kids in Spokane and Jer's kids in Utah a few weeks before that. We sure love living right smack in the middle of them! Such cute kiddos!

So since the last post, we had another wedding. This time it was Alexis' wedding. She married Wade and Autumn. :) Okay, so she didn't marry Autumn, but she became a new mom right from the start! They live ALLLLLLL the way in North Dakota right now. Both are working great jobs and have a house and are doing great! Autumn loves her new school and has made a lot of friends. But mostly, we miss them sOooooooo bad. Can't wait until they come back for Christmas! I might have to steal their keys and not let them go back...whoopsy, Todd ate your keys...mmmm that might not work, maybe Jazzy ate them. And by Jazzy, I mean Noah's dog, not Jazzy my daughter. I know, confusing right? (p.s. we didn't name the dog, she came named already, we don't usually name our animals after our children).

Wade, Lex and Autumn after they were all sealed on April 10, 2010. So happy to have them in the family! Love them! MISS YOU GUYS!

I love living by my dad! He is an amazing Dad, Grandpa and Great Grandpa. With a family well over 100 and counting! HE is sure good to all of us!

Jazz and Aaron, thankfully still live in NAMPA. I knew I had a child that loved me enough to never leave...never thought it would be Jazz (lex speaking). :) Just Kidding. Jazz is amazing and Aaron too. We love having them close to us, with Grandpa Bryce close too. We love getting together and doing things. Jazz and Aaron just bought a home and are here to stay, hopefully for a LONG time. Somebody has to take care of me and Dad when were old. ;) Although, Lex and Wade claim they will move back to Idaho when they are done with their little stint in North Dakota, we just pray it is sooner than later. Jazz has her own salon in her house and does hair full time. She is loving it and is loving her cute new house!

This is them on their 3 year anniversary! Again...my how time flies. Has it really been three years since I blogged? anyways... So Abe is on a mission now! Crazy how fast times flies. What's crazier is he only has 9 months left! This is when he first got to the mission with his 1st mission president and wife.

Abe is doing fantastic on his mission. We look forward to his letters every Monday (well emails). He is Zone leader and is rocking his mission. He is often found with the most baptisms in his zone, etc. etc. He loves a good competition and is always working hard to share the gospel with as many people as he physically can! I will post a special post just about Abe every once in awhile, BUT for update purposes, these are just a few pics of him on the mission. His ONE year cake and his zone conference with his companion and matching BSU ties (I think, but turns out since he's color blind, they were red. Nice try Abe). He's just awesome and doing so great!

NOAH is a the Soccer man! Following in ALL his brother's footsteps, literally. Look at that boot on him...this pic of him kicking was from HALF field and he SCORED off THIS exact kick! We are so impressed and proud of how awesome he is doing. He is so talented and loves to play soccer!

This is the CLASSIC Burns boy stance! Love it!

Ahhhh, the soccer momma! That's me! Year and years of this and it NEVER gets old! I'll be watching Noah's kids play soccer some day, we won't mention how old I'll be at that point. But anywho! I love my kids! They are amazing! And I'm so thankful for this handsome hunk of a husband (okay, so maybe this is Lex talking for mom, but I'm SURE she thinks this about dad!).

All because two people fell in love right? Yes, right. I sure do love my whole family!

Thanks Lex for being SO amazing and updating my blog, you are really good to me. I'm so lucky to have a daughter like you who... (This is kinda fun giving myself compliments from my mom, I'll stop here, although I could go on forever. JK!! I love you mom! I'M the lucky one to have a momma like you!)

Until next time....pray it is soon!

The most recent family picture we have.
Dang, we're a good lookin bunch!
(Lex speaking...I felt pretty okay!? what's wrong with that?)

It's been awhile....a long while!

So it's been awhile. Lex got busy and mom and dad have NO idea how to get on this thing!
So the biggest news we have thus far in the year 2008 is...
Jazz got married!
Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Snooks! :)
She is so happy and they live in Caldwell (who knew you could be happy living in Caldwell..).
Aaron goes to TVCC and plays basketball there.
Jazz just moved salons and is now working at All That Jazz (perfect name, we know).

Its on Roosevelt and 16th by the Holly shopping center.

Engagement pic

The 8 hot bridesmaids!
Kara Burns, Mel (Aaron's sis), Alisha (Aaron's sis), Jen Ward, Jazz, Lex, Ashley Jackson, Stacy Hayes and Heather Burns

Ah...the happy couple.

All the siblings at the temple.

Abe's on the news.

http://www.hsgametime.com/idaho/videopage.html?nvid=209922&shu=1

Abe is on the news (and Lex too behind the team's bench). Just follow the link above to see the footage they got on Skyview (or should we say on Abe). He scored the first 9 points of the game for the Hawks. They went on to win this game! Abe is having a great season and they have only lost one conference game so far. He loves basketball and is a great player!

Christmas Card

Merry Christmas everyone! Your cards are in the mail, they should be getting to you soon! Hopefully. We wanted to get them out sooner, but December crept up on us! We hope you are all enjoying the Holiday season. We have gotten some snow here in Nampa and it has been wonderful to have a winter wonderland in our midst! Noah absolutely loves it and wears himself out playing in it!

We are busy going to all of Abe's Varsity Basketball games too!
Wearin the family number. 44 Represent!!
He is also attempting to grow out his sideburns so they can call him Abraham "side" Burns, they aren't looking half bad either, I mean for a 16 year old (lex's comments, not mom).

And lastly that is exciting, Jazz is in her new Salon : Studio D and she is the prettiest one there, check out her team! Blondest too! Represent also. She is the next top stylist next to the owner (Danae Valle) and she is loving it so much. She is so busy and has so many clients that she might make her way to the number one spot! Way to go Jazz, we love you. (I bet you are surprised, but this is Lex writing this and I'm so proud of my Jazzy poo!)

2006 Family Picture !!!
