I cannot for the life of me get these pictures to rotate. Know you know how computer savy I am NOT!!! Jonah got sunburned at track ouch he will be 12 next week.

Don't you love the acrobatics I have to perform every night to put Sienna to bed. She needs her goodnight kiss, heaven forbid if I forget, and yes whoever puts her to bed has to perform the same acrobatics even Daddy. Yes I know she is almost 3 and still in her crib, but Addy hates the playpen she loves Sienna's crib so until school is out this spring she is going to have to stay in it. Besides she doesn't know any differentand it keeps her safe and contained at night and No she doesn't climb out. THANK HEAVENS!!!!


Cousins Fun these and Scott and Cheryl's boys. They came for a visit and they had to have a slumber party. They had so much fun together.

Sarah Wilson and dear friend of mine is Sienna's second Mom she adores her.

Prom No McKayla did not have a date. She is not yet 16. In Manila everybody goes date or not. Dad chaperoned so no big deal. We all dressed up and went to the floor show they do every year. Stuck around for a few dances and pics and the rest of us headed home.

Mat 14 years old now dancing with Meagan Northcott 13 1/2 years old at Prom. He is all but 6 ft tall and Guy is not liking that at all, neither is Mcky. The last week all it has done in Manila is Snow or Rain everyday on and off all day. Can you say saturation and yes it is the 19th of May. Welcome to Spring in Manila. Gavin almost 6 (next week) will be in First grade next year which mean all day school. YES and THANK you Lord I am so EXCITED!!!!! He drives me NUTS when he comes home from half day Kindergarten, he is bored. Bored=Mischief=pain in the butt. Sienna 3 in June is so much fun and way too much of a helper. Like her Mama can't sit still to save her life. We still babysitt Addy 15 months old now she is part of our family. She is in Love with Mat. Watch out Girls he is taken by Addy.

Guy Finally got his Masters Degree in Administration. We are all so relieved!!!!

Crazy Gonder Family

I know it has been forever since I have posted. So here is an update! McKayla is now 15 and has her learners"driving" she works at the KOA in the office and loves it her boss is FABULOUS!!! We all love her. Mcky, is a Sophmore this year and is starting Varsity on the Volleyball team. She is now an inch taller than her mother and loves to rub it in.

Mat is 13 and in the 8th grade, he is also working at the KOA. He works outside and really enjoys it since there is no keeping this boy indoors. He is also working for an older couple and does anything and everything they need done our can not do themselves anymore. He has learned alot of wonderful life skills that will help him in the future. He also does odd lawn mowing job here and there, he hopes to get his yard business going ASAP. Mat is running cross country track he is a runner and is built like one too. His first meet he placed 4th the next meet he placed 3rd and took a whole minute off of his time. Mat is now at least an inch taller than Mcky and boy that does not go over well with her.

Jonah is 11 and in the 6th grade, he is loving being the TOP DAWG of the elementary and is excited to get to play Jr high basketball this year. He earned his Arrow of Light this last winter and worked hard to get it. JB (Jonah Bear) is getting so tall he has to squat down co mom can fix his hair. CRAZY!!!! JB is getting to be alot of help with Gavin and Sienna and boy do I appreciate it.

Gavin is 5 and in Kindergarten, to say that he loves school would be an understatement, I only wish it was all day and I am pretty sure he wishes that too. Gavin is settling down a bit he is definitly easier to reason with we still have our days. That temper is WOW is all I can say I hope I can teach him to control it! I asked him to get a diaper and wipes for me to change Sienna and he said " I am not your SLAVE" oh goodness.

Sienna is 2 and what a ANGEL thank goodness!!! She has her moments of mischief and complaint, but she is alot easier to contend with than some of the others have been ( like all my BOYS). She was definitely a good one to end with. Sienna had to have her Tonsils & Adnoids removed and tubes put in her ears. The doctor said that her tonsils were impressive he called them "FREAKISHLY LARGE" he said that he has seen alot of tonsils in his career as an ENT and hers were impressive. She is and has made HUGE leaps and bounds in her speech since the surgery and boy are we glad. It is hard to understand what she was saying with so much blocking the sounds trying to come out.

Guy is VERY close to finishing his Masters Degree and should be done by October. He has been so busy with this that I cannot even express the huge relief it is going to be for all of us especially him as he said it never off his mind. He is such a great husband and father I couldn't ask for more we are so BLESSED. We turned our garage into a family room and oh my it is alot more peaceful around here now that we have more living area. With the boys room and the family room additions we have doubled our living space and it has saved my sanity.

Me, well I am doing ok. I am no longer at th PO I decided that it wasn't for me and am Babysitting Addie she is 7 months now and I have watched her since she was a couple of months old and she is a dolly. She is just one of my own. Sienna loves her and Addie is her baby the babies mom even knows that. I get to work as needed which with Addie is not much, but that is ok at the Medical Clinic as a receptionist & medical assistant. I have really enjoyed it. Hopefelly someday when the kids are all in school that I will be able work more full time there.

Well we hope all is well and I will try not to let our updates go so long.

Gavin started preschool this year an is loving it he can write his name and says each letter as he writes it and I can even tell what it says. I am going into volunteer and he does not want me to. So I guess we will see how that works out.

We have two new members of our family (kittens) Lucy and Fluffy. Which by the way were abandoned by their mothers and we have been bottles feeding 4x's a day for a while now. They are darling but what a pain. All I can say is they better be good mousers or else. Sienna is loving them and poor fluffy passes out on a weekly basis if I don't save him quick enough from her loves.

Just kickin back and checkin out whats on the tube man.

Still the WILD MAN of our family....

Check out Sisi's hair.....

So Cross Country Track was a short season for reasons Im not going into. Nothing to do with us however, anyway Mat ran in his first meet and was in 5th place until he PASSED OUT three times. I don't think he was ready do you, not that he had, hadany time to prepare, because of the circumstances. However he still came in 11th. About a week and a half later after runner the long way home from baseball practice every evening, he went to his 2nd cross country meet ever and placed 1st in the junior high boys. He beat all the other boys by over a minute. He is a natural.....

Guy and I are doing good BUSY but good he is working on his Masters Degree and is working full time. We see him occasionally, more often if we go to the BLACK HOLE ( the school ) since he goes there and who knows when or if he will return. I am busy with kids, home, work at the PO, cub scouts as (cub master) PTSO (PTA), volunteering at the school and watching kids and tutoring one of my scouts everyday after school. Life is great, but CRAZY. We just take it one day at a time.
Mat in his new suit. He thinks he is pretty hot stuff when he has it on.

Sienna found herself a pocket for Jonah's wallet lets hope the diaper isn't full if you know what I mean and for heavens sake lets hope it doesn't slip down too far.

Gavin 4 now has learned to ride his bike without training wheels and goes riding with the boys and their friends alot much to their dismay.

Mat and Colton built this bike from left over parts "Frankensein" it is their lake jumping bike.Mat is 12 and Colton is 15.

Sienna and Jefferson Hurst at Artic Circle. Jon and Jenny and the boys came for a visit we met them in Green River and had a great visit everyone has changed so much it was so much fun.

It's not hard to tell we poured cement this summer with th e help of some dear friends and neighbors we got 3 1/2 yards for next to nothing and they even helped pour it and everything. Sienna HATED and I mean HATED having her feet stuck in wet cement. She thought it was tourture.

So McKayla's summer has been quite an adventure. She spent the first part of her summer in a cast for a fractured foot for the second time and baby sat a 3 year old little girl named Charlie. Until they moved to Green River. Then in July after much begging and pleading she went on the Trek to Martins Cove and Rocky Ridge, and Rock Creek Hollow. It was in her words " the best and hardest experience she has ever had and would do it again in a heart beat. You should have seen how burnt she got and when she peeled oh my I wasn't allowed to post those pics, for fear of strangulation in my sleep.

This was Ally's birthday bash apparently they were either trying to keep the boys away or making themselves more beautiful. Your guess is as good as mine.

In August was girls camp in Robertson Wyoming and it was awesome they all had a great time. This is McKenzie she lives just up the road from us.

The three amigos Mcky, Ally, & Aubree
