Wow I seriously have been a slacker on updating my blog. Dani drove home from college in Billings on her own because we couldn't make it up to help her. Her car was packed to the brim her registration was expired but she made it. She is here long enough to work for a couple of months then head out on her mission.

Kaylee's blessing day. What a little doll. We are so excited to have this little girl in our lives. She is truly a light in our family.

SISTER HOSKING you have been called to serve in the ROMANIA BUCHAREST MISSION and will report to the mtc on August 10.

We are excited for Dani to start this new and exciting chapter of her life. She will be a great servant of our Heavenly Father and I know she will touch many lives. She has a strong testimony of the church and has learned alot about other religions while she was up at Billings attending college. We will miss her.

Well this is our girls night HALLOWEEN craft for this month. For some reason I could not get the picture of Brittney and Toni's to pull up without being sideways to I just decided to post the picture of mine since it is the cutest anyway. Ha Ha. It really is a fun tradition of doing this. We each have our own taste and it is fun to see how the same craft turns out 3 different ways.

2010-08-22T15:00:00.000-07:00

On our way to Billings montana we drove up thru Idaho Falls. It was beautiful. Our hotel was right on the river overlooking the temple. Then we drove thru rexburg and saw their beautiful temple and then to billings to see the beautiful temple there. We had a great trip. The scenery was beautiful we laughed and talked for hours on our way up.

It has been a long time since I have done anything on my blog. These are a few of the things that have gone on over the past few months. Kenny turned 50 years old and we had a fun birthday get together. Halloween dinner tradition with family. And just the fall weather. It is a beautiful time of year.

This year we had our family reunion up in Wyoming again. This is my families favorite place to go. There is so much to do and The place we stay( ski resort in wyoming) is big enough for all of us to sleep, eat, and play games. This year was a western theme and Justin and Anne were in charge. They did a great Job. I am posting just a few of the many pics we took. It really is amazing that our whole family makes an effort to come every year. This year everyone was there except the two missionaries. You will see the great family picture. I LOVE my family.

2009-07-09T21:18:00.000-07:00

So Mothers day was great. We had my parents over to Hoskings for steaks on the grill. So it was fun to have both of our mothers there. I got a few pics of the 3 generation thing with the grandmas. Kenny got me two hanging baskets. We decorated the table with the planters that I made for our moms.

Craft night with the girls

2009-03-17T14:35:00.000-07:00

So every month we have a craft night with the girls. Who ever can come. These are some of the things we have done. We try to make it 10.00 or less and most have been 5.00. It is really fun to see all of them because we all have very different tastes. This month we even had dani home to do one. I wish I had pictures of them all. The Easter craft is probably my favorite.

2009-03-12T19:23:00.001-07:00

Dani Had a great year at suu. She started her last 13 games of the year and played really well. We had a great time following her. It is fun to see her living her dream. Thanks to ALL who supported her through the year from Listening on line to being at the game to wearing suu apparel.

2009-01-18T18:07:00.000-08:00

This year at christmas was so much fun. Crowded with many activities as usual. We went to the annual Anderson family Christmas party, to Dani's Basketball game in Logan (which was quite a fete in itself) to Chuck E Cheese and many things in between. The best part of all was having the whole family here. We don't have a large home but there were a few nights we had everyone including Jay and brittneys new little pup. Some sleeping on the floor some on couches but it was one big party. We cherish these times together and look forward to more of them ahead.

2009-01-18T14:49:00.000-08:00

The colors up in Bear Lake were spectacular this year. These pictures don't really show how beautiful it was It was breathtaking. Kenny and I went up and were just in awe. Then we went back to the condo to get others to go see it. It was also Kennys birthday and what better place to celebrate than bear lake. This is one of his favorite places.

2008-09-16T19:46:00.000-07:00

we went to boston in september to see our newest little grandson. He is darling and I could hardly get enough of holding him. I probably wont see him again until he is almost a year. We had a lot of fun as you can see from the pictures. At the beach we would go out in the water hold hands and when the big waves came we ran. The most fun was just playing with the boys and spending time with Ky and Spence. Every morning grandpa and I would hear a knock on our wall and then they would run in when they thought we were awake and play hide and seek under the blankets. They are a special little family and we are so glad to be part of it. Thanks ky and Spence.

2008-07-30T21:40:00.001-07:00

We had a great experience as ma's and pa's. We are so greatful to our pioneer ancestors who sacrificed so much for us. We had a great group of kids in our family. Just like in our real family. We couldn't have hand picked a better group of young people. Kenny and I even survived the heat and walking. This is something everyone should experience once in their lives. It was really special since mom and dad served a mission there.

2008-07-29T19:52:00.000-07:00

This was dani's last girls camp. she really didn't even need to go
but she went and we had a great time. The theme this year was daughters of a King. We made some fun flip flops and had a little crowning devotional. These are just few of the pictures.

2008-06-08T10:41:00.000-07:00

Cambria was blessed on June 1 2008. she looked like a little pioneer girl. the blessing was really nice and it was fun that they could wait until they moved up here so that they could have all of the family there. Except of course Ky and Spence. It was a great day!

2008-06-07T13:28:00.000-07:00

THANKS to brittney Dani had cute hairstyles for dances and dates. Because her mom doesnt know how to do hair.

Texas Trip

2008-06-06T20:56:00.000-07:00

I was able to go to Texas in April with SPence Ky and the boys. This was so much fun. We colored and did puzzles everyday. We played baseball, went to the park, went to the zoo, went to a movie in the park and yes we even got Ky and grandma in a swimmingsuit and went swimming. I love every minute of being able to spend time with these precious little boys and of course Ky and SPence. But all good things must come to an end. we had to say good bye. This is the hardest part. Thanks so much for letting me be a part of such a fun experience. Love you guys

Oh the stories they tell

2007-10-24T18:55:00.000-07:00

Grandpa reading stories to Taede and Talmage. It was especially fun for grandpa because the boys wanted grandpa for everything especially Taede. This was a really fun trip and definitely worth it. We will go back again and hopefully sooner than later. Ky loves it there so if we don't go there we may never see her and the family.

Raining in Boston

2007-10-17T22:01:00.000-07:00

We went to a little sandwich shop up from ky's with the boys and when we came out it was pouring rain. So we ran home in the rain and I think Truman was a little shocked. It was fun.
