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!
