New Tires. yipee. (can you feel excitment?)

So because of a little incident that wasn't completely my fault we had to buy new tires for our rig. We didn't want the really cool 22's that came on it so we got new rims and tires instead of just new tires. It only cost about 100.00 more. At least the rig will have a smoother ride and the tires will last longer. we are going to sell the old rims on Craig's list to recoup the cost. So actually doing it this way is better. What do you think Dad are our cheapy rims fly?

A new Button on my blog

So I just added a new button to my blog. Its called c me read c jane. I first heard about this blog from a news article published in the Deseret news. Jane and her family are members that live in Utah. Jane's sister Stephanie and her husband Christian along with a flight instructor were in a private plane crash in August in Arizona. The flight instructor was killed, Christian has burns over 30% of his body and Stephani has burns over 80% of her body. This couple has 4 children. Their story has been picked up on the national news. When I read about them my heart went out to them and I wanted to hear more of their story. I have really enjoyed reading about this wonderful family and how they are dealing with tragedy. It has brought The Gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to national attention and really illustrates what we are all about -Faith and Family. This family is like so many others in the gospel. It makes me grateful for the gospel in our lives how it can lift you up and sustain you in your time of need. I hope you will read her blog and join with thousands of others in offering at least one prayer for this family.

Updating finally!

All right I guess I should finally update my blog. I lost interest in blogging over the summer (okay maybe before the summer) but I'm back and I'm really glad to post that SCHOOL HAS STARTED!!!! YIPEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! We have 5 kids in school this year. Yes you read that right 5! Cloey is the newest Karcher kid to start school. Her birthday was on the first day of school! We brought cupcakes for her class and she got a special birthday crown from her teacher. She is in pre-k this year. Lilly is in Kindergarten. Skylar is in 1st grade. Sadie is in 3rd grade and Ariana is in 4th grade! Abbie is the only one I have at home during the day and she is loving it! She asks about the other kids occasionally but for the most part she thinks it should of been just her and mom all along! She truly is the "youngest" and takes full advantage of it. According to her she should be the center of attention at all times. Especially those times that are most inconvenient (like when I'm on the phone or in the shower or heaven forbid holding one of the other kids!) We are enjoying our quiet time during the day. Abbie's favorite thing to do is go and see her partner in crime Libbi. (Darci's youngest) They are quite the pair. You mess with one you mess with both. It's really funny to watch. They are the two youngest of a large crowed of kids when we all get together so they look out for each other. Even if it means taking down one of the big kids. They are there for each other and they fight dirty! We are busy remodeling as usual. We switched rooms last Sunday. We lost track of time and ended up missing church because of it. Actually if the truth be told it would help if I could tell time! I looked at the clock wrong and by the time I realized my mistake we were already 30min late and no one was any where near ready. But we got the rooms switched. Ariana, Sadie, Lilly, and Cloey are now in the master bedroom, Skylar is in Ariana and Sadies old room and Mark and I are in Skylars old room. It has worked out really well. Every one has a lot more space and there is room enough for all our stuff. Maybe some day I'll post some picts. Maybe.
