Ashley turned 15 yesterday. In one year from now I have to figure out how to get the laws changed so she can't, Yes I said CAN'T, Get her drivers license. She is a terrible driver and all she does is giggle during the whole thing. I tried to take her driving before and she just about drove our truck into the church. I was trying to take over the controls and so was she. Yesterday she had a last minute bash with her friends and they wanted to watch scary movies so they watched the Dark Night. I have not seen this movie yet but it sure sounded intense.
Anyways happy birthday to Ashley. I love her so much. She is such a good example for this family and she is so bubbly almost all of the time. She loves it when her dad takes her out for frozen yogurt on the way to school even when it is 30 below outside. Today I am taking her to see Twilight. Yes we are the only ones ever who have not seen this movie yet. Ashley has a very busy life and I am trying to keep up with it.

Better late than never
WOW! I can't believe that I have not posted a thing since November. Well, now that Christmas is almost here I really should update my blog.
We have been really busy. Clint came home one day on standby and stayed home for about 3 weeks. It was really stressful at first and than it became really fun. We got all of our Christmas shopping done while he was home. We went out on Black Friday and stood in one line. I am not sure if I can get him to do this again. We went to lunch almost everyday. When he went back to work the dishes piled up and I had no idea how I was going to feed myself at lunchtime(j/K).
When he finally went back to work he came back home for a couple of more days. Now he is back and I hope he gets to come home for Christmas. We are so thankful that he has this job but I wish it was a little more steady on the days on and off. When he was home he was still getting his day rate so that was SO nice to play and still get paid.
We took some pictures of the kids for grandparents but we were in such a hurry to take care of a truck issue that I only took ten shots and I keep thinking I wish I would have taken more but now it is too late. I wish I had a better camera for stuff like that but mine is fine for what we need.
I hope everyone is doing great this holiday season. We really have enjoyed making and receiving christmas cards this year. If you did not get one from us we probably do not have an address or they are still on their way. Merry Christmas to all. Love the Mickelsons

Happy Halloween 2008
Happy Halloween. Here are all the kids dressed up for Halloween. Tanner is behind the scary mask. Madison is Nefertiti and all the other kids are pretty much self explanatory. Halloween this year was so fun. My mom brought Dax up, Emily came up with her kids and they all had a sleep over. It was very chaotic but fun.
Sky view "future" Vistauns
A couple of weeks ago Ashley and Sugar were in a vistauns clinic and they performed at the last football game. Sugar loved it so much. Ashley has done something like this before. I tried to take pictures of the kids dancing but there was way too many moms fighting for the best spot so I stayed back and let them take pictures of the 15 second dance.
Tanner and Spencers birthday at Boondocks
We went to Boondocks for the boys' birthdays this year. It was so fun. Even Emily and I had a blast. I found out that Ashley is all about racing when it comes to driving so we will have send our governer a letter asking for the driving age limit to be increased. I let the kids just grab a buddy and go play, so I did not get alot of pictures because I spent more time looking for them. We all had fun and we want to go back next year.

It's been a while
Oh my it has been a while since I put some new pictures or new info on our blog. I visit everyday hoping that there is something new but there isn't. I guess it is up to me to update info and to let you all know what is going on in life. We have been busy waiting for Halloween and now that is over we are getting ready for the next thing to come along. Its always fun to guess what our busy lives bring us next. Dishes perhaps... A new car...maybe a new baby(HA that won't happen)....Well Ashley is trying out for basketball. I never in a million years would have thought any of my kids could do basketball. I am way to short to even think about being a basketball player. I hope she does well. She spends a ton of time at the rec center and hopefully she will at least learn something from all of this.
