Big Bro


Zac is my 13 year old big brother. He enjoys playing baseball and now football. His favorite baseball team is the New York Yankees. His favorite football team is the San Diego Chargers. Zac and I have been through a lot but we've been together through it all. Sometimes we fight a lot but in the end I'm really glad he's my brother.


Little Bro



Jacob is my 6 year old little brother. We enjoy playing soccer, breyer horses and just chasing each other around. We just recently had his birthday party. We all enjoyed the jumping castle, water balloon fight and many other fun things like that. He is so wonderful to have around all the time and is extremely cute. I mean handsome.

Baby Jenna


Jenna is a surely a gift from God! We have been praying for her for over three years. I remember so clearly just sitting in the office at my school crying for joy. Jenna is just a wonderful little sis. My heart nearly melts every time I see her smile or make a little sound. I just love her so very much!

Soccer!


I have enjoyed playing soccer for the last 4 years. I am the goalie or the keeper of the team. I have a soccer practice today that I'm looking forward to very much. We haven't gotten our name figured out yet so we are still the mustangs. On the team we have 11 girls. We have all been together for so long that it's like we're just one big family. I look forward to spending many more years of playing soccer!

Stories




My Grandpa Bitton has told me so many stories of his childhood with horses. I found out that his family owned horses just about a year ago. Sultan was a half arabian that Grandpa took care of. When Grandpa went off to college his father traded Sultan to Indians for a bunch of steer. Grandpa found that out when he came home from college. The Indians wanted Sultan so bad because you could ride him for a very long time and just couldn't tire him out. The Indians used horses like we use cars!His father fattened up the steer and sold them for a good amount of money. When Grandpa joined the Airforce his father sold another horse that he took care of. His paint horse Toby. Grandpa found that out when he got home. Then after all the selling and trading his father bought a palomino horse. They named him Kontiki. He was named after a raft or boat called the Kontiki. Now I know where I get my love for horses! Thanks Grandpa!



Fishing With Grandpa


Just today Grandpa Bitton, Zac and I all went out for a fishing trip at Long lake. My Grandpa Bitton caught a little mini perch. We let him go because he was so cute. Well that's what I thought anyways. I caught a squaw fish. Grandpa Bitton said that I saved over 1,000 fish because squaw fish are scavenger fish. If you catch a squaw fish in the Snake river you can sell them for five dollars each to some people that are trying to kill as many of them as possible to save salmon. Since squaw are scavengers they eat salmon. So if they keep eating salmon then people wont be able to catch and sell them. The thing is if you catch a squaw in any other lake than the Snake and sell it it's considered a crime. Not only did I get to spend time with my Grandpa Bitton but I also learned lots of great facts!

My Doggy

Preston is the dog of the house at my mom's house. He is a huge Golden Retriever with possibly a little bit of Saint Bernard. He's quite an old dog. He's about 10 years old and has still got it in him. Preston is the best male dog in the universe! If I had a picture of Lilly I guarantee you that I would put her in this post. She is a chihuahua-terrior mix and lives at my Dad's house! Loves to both dogs!

Maisie and Kayla




Time sure has changed us over the past two years. I had always prayed to have a little sister and look at what God gave me! My little Maisie Rose.






My mom


I love spending time with my mom. Some of the things that we love to do together are bible studies, having tea time, going for walks, collecting rocks at the lake, going on trail rides and having long conversations. My mom and I just couldn't be any closer than we are.

Camp Bay Pend Oreille


Camp Bay is our little get-away. Lake Pend Oreille is the fifth deepest lake in the nation. There are even navy submarines at the bottom of the lake! We are headed up there tomorrow. We will do lots of swimming, have campfires and go boating. Sometimes we have thought of taking our mattresses up to the lake and living there. Wouldn't that be the way to live?
