Thanks alot Staci.

I hate writing, with a passion and my purpose of this blog was so people could just pull it up and SEE what was going on in our lives, not necessarily READ all about us but here goes anyway!!

10 Years ago today....

Literally 10 years ago on February 8th, 1998 I was in the hospital awating the arrival af our Baby boy Brett. He was born February 9th at 12:45 p.m. I can't belive he's already 10 WOW, I havn't really thought about the significance of this birthday until now.

San Francisco

We Just got back from San Francisco, & we had a great time inspite of the cold wet dreary weather. We did Alcatraz, shopped, went to aquarium and checked out a submarine and Liberty ship. We had a Fabulous time! Here are just a few of the highlights of our trip!!

Our Violinist

We had a very nice recital for Sam's violin today however when we got home and I was trying to upload video from today's recital there was none (Terry was the videographer) So here is a little sample (edited for time) of our little violinist from her Suzuki Book 1 Recital in November.

12 on the 12th

I was recently reading through a scrapbook magazine (can't remember which one) and they had a wonderful idea to scrapbook 12 pictures a month on one layout all taken on the 12th of that month. I thought what a great way to jump start my year and get back into photography and scrapbooking. So the goal is to take 12 pics on the 12th of every month, of everyday ordinary things that go on, on that day. So at the end of the year I should have 12 layouts with 144 pictures to capture a year in the Conk family!

Obviously the 12th of January was Saturday so I got to document our day of NOTHING in picutes, it was kinda fun to do though!

Day began at 5:00a.m. with Sam throwing up!

Blessing Day for Bonnie Rose Conk

Bonnie was blessed today by her dad and what a wonderful blessing it was. Most of my family was able to be there with the exception of Mitch & Shannon who are stuck in Oregon with no power!!! Grammy and Dick came down and we were so pleased they were here for Bonnie to get her blessing. As most of you know Bonnie is named after Gram and Terry's Grandma Rose Evelyn. Even though Grandma Evie wasn't here physically she was here in spirit.
Terry & Becky also came from Logandale with Grandma and Grandpa Barney, I love how they fight over who gets to hold her!! Thans to everybody who came to give your love and support.



It was also neat to have this 4 generation pictue with my girls!!

What do you think???

I found this on a friends Blog and thought it was kinda fun!!

BIG UPDATE!!!

So If you have checked my blog lately you will have noticed that I am a really lame blogger. I had big intentions for this blog, I was going to update with pictures at least twice a month well as you can see since my last post was Halloween I'm having a little trouble adjusting to life with 4 kids and dealing with the holidays. Well, It's New Years Eve and I finally have some tome to update this THANG!!

First off - The Conk Family just got back from a funfilled weekend in San Diego. Here are some pictures from Legoland and The San Diego Space and Aeronautical Museum.










Next - we had a Wonderful Christmas this year which was kicked off by our 1st Annual "Zobrist Cousin's Christmas Camp" We had a great time will all 20 of the Gerry & Jody Zobrist Grandkids. We had matching t-shirts with each kids name on the back of his or her shirt, we decorated ornaments for a tree for Granpa Zobrist since he couldn't be home for Christmas. We also played Christmas music with the chimes and decorated gingerbread houses! Tons of fun. Thanks to all you girls who helped pull this off!








Christmas Eve was spent out in Logandale (not to many pics due to a fussy baby) But I did manage to get a picture of the Fandago puppets that the kids made and used to act out "Twas the Night Before Christmas" Narrated and personalized by Amy!! I have to say we were all a little skeptical about this but it turned out great and will be sure to become a new Conk family tradition!!



Christmas morning Terry and I had to wake our kids up at 7:00 am (who ever heard of having to wake thier kids up on Christmas?!?) But once they were awake they hade a blast!!

Brett's Favorite Present - Legos (BIG surprise)
Sam's Favorite Present - Horse Stable and Horses (another BIG surprise)
Colby's Favorite Present - Transformers
Terry's Favorite Present - New Octive Mandolin
Kristin's Favorite Present - Cozy New Robe and Coach Diaper Bag






After our morning festivities we got ready and went down to my mom and dad's where we ate and opened presents. The kids are gitting bigger and the presents smaller and more expensive!! 5 of the kids got Disney Mix Max video mp3 players. Very fun gifts!!Chuck and I had a Pic-off I wonder whos picture turned out better (his camera is newer and better than mine!!!)








All in all Christmas was a wonderful day!!
