Its 2013

Thats right its 2013. I have decided I will start being a diligent person again and restart the blogging. I got a new laptop for my birthday last year and I told myself I would start blogging well 5 months later and yes I believe I will start now. Life is GOOD. It really is. We are extremely blessed and happy. So now I need to start blogging and sharing again so that people outside of New Mexico know we are alive and kicking over here. That means I have to start taking photos again. Oh to be on the ball again... I have a desire to start painting rooms again and redoing some furniture. I guess Miriam is back and ready to well do stuff :)
Right now isn't the best time though, I need to finish tidying the house for seminary in the morning and then get some decorations packed up for the Ward Valentines Dance tomorrow night. There is never a dull moment in the Reeves' household. Lets cross our fingers that I will return within the week rather than just within the year.

Canada

So here is a post 100 years later. The Kids and I went to Canada for 2 weeks in August and it was so great. It was my first time going "home" since I moved out back in 2004. How crazy anyway it was a wonderful experience. We got to meet and spend time with Eypor and Maliana and we got to see Mamma and Dad and Melanie and Lete and then Henry came off his mission and we got to spend time with him too. It has been the fastest and best summer. The Kids to to see all their Reeves relatives at the Reeves Reunion and then they got to see almost all of my family! (We didn't see Melisa, Willie, Tuimana, Victoria, Aiden and Arianna) We got to see Meleofa and Dustin and Miaya and Sarah but only for tiny bits. It was great though. My kids got to get to know their Amma and Afi on their own turf. They had so much fun with them. Eva still tells me she wants to go back. But now its onto real life again. I didn't have my camera charger for most of the summer and my computer was on the fritz so I didn't really get on the computer much. Enjoy some Photos.

Here are Amma and Afi they were wonderful hosts.

 Everyone talked about Peters and Calgary so we went there. 

Mine tasted like medicine and mint because I chose badly.

 It was Maliana's Birthday that day!!

This was the day we went up to Drumheller to see the dinosaur museum. 

It was awesome! My first dinosaur museum ever (not including the one on BYU Campus) 

We ate on the mat at a park. It was a great day.

Then Elder Toutai came home and became Henry again. 

We went to get him from the airport!!

The next day we celebrated all the August birthdays. 

We started with some pizza dinner on the Mat.

Then we got some kites and flew them! They were so fun. 

Who knew how fun kite flying was!!!

Afi with the grandkids

Eva got to hold the string

 So did Alexander. 

They really loved it so I hope to be able to do it here,

 we have so much wind I hope it works.

Then Eva insisted we play toilet tag. Which is freeze tag. 

So we did. It was like we were little kids again.

Then we had candles and cake. Everyone got their own cake. It was yummy.

Then we had an umu/ Tongan eating for Henry's home coming Yes that is a roasted pig.

Here they are pretending to help :)

Oh here is a picture of Afi on the swings.

 Here I am looking fantastic with Eva viewing the city. It was a big city.

 Here are Jamison and Henry.

 Melanie took us to see the downtown of the city. 

I haven't been in a real city in a LONG time. 

Here we are in front of the Cardston Temple and then .

Alexander and Jamison on the slide at Amma's house

It was a wonderful trip. I am so glad we went up to Canada.

What a good dad

I went shopping this morning and I came home and found Daniel making the kids a water slide with the new playset or "park" as Eva calls it. They loved it. They called it the big surprise. We are having a great summer. Still a bit hectic. We are almost done with the yard, just some playground mulch and then all done. Daniel installed some light fixtures for me. We have been super busy around here but we love it. Until next time.

whirlwind

That is what life is now a big huge whirlwind. I stay really busy and Daniel stays really busy so there isn't much time for the things of the past like blogging and laundry. But I uploaded some photos and I figured I would post them. These are a few weeks or months back, I can't recall. We were working in the yard one saturday and Daniel wanted to pull out the slip and slide.

Jamison wouldn't go on it. He finally did as you can see in this picture but he just arm crawled across it.view from the patio. They really had fun.

Jaction shotthis is a random shot. Jamison loves to run outside and play in the dirt. Here he is in his PJS in the evening trying to get some playing in before we put him to bed. We are having a packed and fun summer so far.

P.S I have no idea how to use this new blogger template so who knows what this post will really look like

Our Backyard

We haven't blogged in a while. Miriam has a new calling, the kids are getting bigger, I am never home, and our computer has a cracked screen. What sucks for people reading this blog is that I (Daniel Reeves) am the one writing this blog, and I usually contribute about once a year. So this could be our last post until next year

I just wanted to post pictures of our backyard, because it's Awesome

It was easter

It was a few weeks ago but thats ok. ours was simple and w don't teach the easter bunny because I have a fobia of a giant man dresses as a pastel bunny. We tell them daniel hid them. Ha ha. Anyway these are from my phone and I am just trying  too get them on here.

Just a day

Just another day out running errands and kmart had one of therese. They were so excited so I took a picture
