We are so proud of Kaylee for choosing to be baptised. It was a wonderful day. We really appreciated the love and support from all our family and friends. All of you made Kaylee's day so very special. We love our Kaylee Maddie!!

Girls Weekend in San Francisco in November. I had such

an awesome time with my sister's and mom.

Shelly, Jennifer and me at a diner in SF.

I love the city behind me.

My mom and I on Lumbard Street.

San Francisco was a blast!!

Our Families Cruise in August!!

We all had fun snorkeling. Even Davis did it!

We had a great time.

Davis 4 now and a big helper!!!

So we were crazy one day and gave Davis a real mohawk!!

We have had so much fun this year. I haven't been great

with the blog. Facebook is so much faster and easier. But

not all of you are on Facebook!! You need to join or become my

friend so we can kept in touch!!

What's up with the Houk's.......

2009-04-16T19:07:00.000-07:00

In February Taylor was so very excited to get her

braces off! Look at that beautiful smile!

In March Achievement Days put on a

"Pinkwood Derby"

Taylor got 1st everytime except for the

very last race. Someone tripped her

and she dropped her car. 4 out of 5 isn't

too bad!! Way to go Tay!!

Brandon was so very proud. They both had so much fun doing this together.

For Springbreak we went to Disneyland!!!

Davis was so excited to see Mater and Lighting McQueen.

This is a photo of all of us on Splash Mtn.

The number 6114 is there because I am

too cheap to purchase a 5x7 for $15.

You can't see Davis between my legs because

he was smart and hid.

All of us on Space Mtn.!! Easy there muscles.

We went on Space Mtn. 3 times. It was

so much fun to be able to go on all the

rides this year with our entire family.

Us and our bug eyes... Taylor decided this year

that the bug show wasn't scary. But decided

that she is still terrified of the Haunted Mansion.

Davis got to drive his first car. He told me that

he was a good driver because he didn't hit

any trees.

We had a great time and enjoyed the 88 degree
weather.

We went to Huntington Beach......

It was Davis's 1st time to the beach.

Just after taking this cute picture of

Kaylee she decided to do a handstand.

That's great in all if I was out of her way.

Nope... I got an eye full sand!! I love

the beach just not in my eyes.

So that brings us to what we have been doing

most of the year.........

CHEER, CHEER AND MORE CHEER

Kaylee's team did great this year. I am so

impressed with Kaylee. She is so strong and

very athletic. She has amazing jumps, cartwheels,

round-offs, splits (all the way down) and she

can do her back handspring on the trampoline.

These are pictures of them competing in Logan.

The ages in Kaylee's group range from 4 to 6

years old.

This is Taylor's team competing in Logan.

Her team ranges from 6-9 years old. Everyone

on her team can do and backhandspring. And

a hand full can do back flips. One competition

they won all around!!

Our season ends at the end of April. We are sad

but not for long try-outs for next year are on

May 13th!!!

Planes, Trains and Automobiles...or even better Grandpa's BIG Truck!!

2009-02-04T21:24:00.000-08:00

Grandpa's Big Red Truck
Davis was so excited to finally get to ride in Grandpa's Truck!
Davis got honk the horn not once not twice but FIVE times!!

He thought that was pretty awesome!!
The girls checking out Grandpa's sleeping quarters.
Kaylee and Grandpa!!
Davis making the face and sound of Grandpa's horn!!
Taylor thinks she's pretty funny!!
We love you Grandpa!! Thanks for taking us for a ride!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

2008-12-19T23:56:00.000-08:00

So I was suppose to have my blog updated before I sent out my Christmas cards but no such luck. I know it's been a while when I am told by many that I need to update my blog. Life's been crazy and that's just how I like it!! Over the past year we have been very blessed and have had a lot of fun as a family. We purchased a camp trailer at the beginning of the summer. Unfortunately nobody would know that because out of the 5 camping trips I always forgot the camera. While on our camping trips we fished, floated the river (that was kinda scary with little ones),roasted marshmallows/hot dogs, went swimming and had many laughs when attempting to go to sleep. Brandon this year has been working for Family Care Center for 6 years now and was made the Director of Counseling. I am very proud of him. We are looking forward to the next couple of weeks with no school, no work and Christmas!! YES!! We wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!! Love The Houk Family

TAYLOR is 8 turning 9 in February!! I really can't believe I am old enough for a 9 year old. Taylor is very strong and very athletic. She is in competitive cheerleading and last week her team receive 1st place!! She loves to read, make up cheer/dance routines with who ever is willing, and also likes to write stories and songs. You should see her back tuck!!
KAYLEE is 6 1/2 years old. She is a very sweet and loving little girl. She too is in competitive cheerleading and almost has her back handspring. Her little team received 4th place last week. Kaylee loves animals, playing with Davis and Taylor, loves to sing, color and dress up our poor little dog Molly.
Best of all Taylor, Kaylee and Davis are the greatest of friends!!

Davis turned 3 years old in September and just makes us laugh. He is such a sweet boy. He loves to go, go, go!! I have no idea where he gets it from? He loves to go to gymnastic class and soon will go to preschool in January. Davis loves about everything. His favorite things are Super Hero's, trains, his cousin Averee (even when she's the boss), special play dates with Grandma and Grandpa, playing with his sister's and going to work with Mom and Dad. He especially likes Dad's office because he has games and toys. Davis is a big 3 year old. He wears 5T shirts and 4T pants! We love him to pieces.

TAG 7 Weird/Random Things

2008-11-15T17:12:00.000-08:00

Here is how it works, List 7 weird/random things about yourself and then TAG 7 others ( you are listed at the end)!Here goes 7 weird/random facts about me.

1. I like to go like crazy!! If I can do 5 things in a day... why not try 15?

2. I have a lot of job descriptions....Mother, Wife, Sister, Daughter, Friend, Housekeeper, Cook, Relief Society Counselor, Cheer & Gymnastics Coach, Dental Assisting Instructor and my newest job description "Billing Manager" at Brandon's work (I get to do this one at home) all of which I am very blessed to do!! Yeah, yeah I know you all are not surprised!!

3. I don't like it when people chew with their mouths open!! Or even chew their gum that way too!

4. I hate it when I write someone a check and they take more than 2 weeks to deposit it.

5. I have a goal to do a back handspring by April 2009. I haven't done one since I started having C-sections. I think I'm afraid my insides will rip open.

6. I will pass out when someone is injured in front of me and blood is involved. I can usually help the injured person first. Then once things are okay my body goes into shock! Funny thing is I have had no problem assisting dentist in oral surgery and have seen nasty abscess infections that don't only bleed!! Let's just leave it at that!!

7. After reading the Twilight series I had to read the 1st book Twilight again before I go see the movie Friday. I am so excited!! Though I have to admit "my Edward" was much hotter!!

Okay I tag Jaime, Mrs. Fun, Wendy, Shelly E., Joni, Erin and Mom

7 STITCHES FOR DAVIS

2008-11-12T16:36:00.000-08:00

Poor Davis was messing around in the tub last

night. He decided to do a seat drop in the tub

and caught his chin on the side of the tub. Ofcourse

this happened at 8:20pm when all the after hour

facilities are closed! So we ended up in the E.R.

Davis did great!! This is him watching T.V. waiting

for the numbing gel to do it's magic.

Here's the owie!!

Sorry pretty gross!

his cartoons!!

LEAVE A MEMORY

2008-07-22T15:28:00.000-07:00

Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. :) If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

While the girls were gone at cheer Davis and his cousin Averee enjoyed having the trampoline to themselves. They were having such a good time together.

FLASH BACK!!

2008-05-17T00:10:00.000-07:00

I couldn't resist!! I saw this picture and thought it was so sweet.

Go to Bed Sleepy Head!

2008-05-17T00:02:00.000-07:00

Davis was suppose to be in bed but he knows Mommy's a push over.
So when he heard Daddy coming through the door he hurried and
hide in the closet. Only for Daddy to quickly discover him.

But how can you resist a cute face like this one!

Daddy gives in too!!

2008-04-13T21:22:00.001-07:00

2008-04-13T20:10:00.000-07:00

Taylor's Baptism March 1, 2008

2008-04-13T18:25:00.000-07:00

We are so very proud of Taylor choosing to be baptised. We loved having our family there to share her special day. Taylor wanted me to tell everyone that she can't wait till Kaylee is batised. Ever since Taylor was batised Davis continually tells us that he wants to get batised in the water.
