Fun in Idaho

Yes, its summer, and the kids are in coats. We went to Rexburg, Idaho in August, and it was COLD! We still had fun though. We picked Huckleberries in the mountains, and looked for bugs in Grandma Greats back yard. We ate fresh raspberries every morning, sometimes right from the bush. It felt so nice to be out in the country!

Yes, these are my goofy kids. I wonder who they take after?

My little family! I love them so much,

they are all my valentines!

Christmas Morning 2008

There is nothing like seeing the excited faces of your children on Christmas morning. I think Santa got it right this year! It was fun to watch Jared who wasn't quite sure what was going on, but liked what he saw. Madison knew what was going on and lead the way! Kate was just in heaven with the whole thing.

Christmas Eve Dinner 2008

Christmas Eve dinner was a success! We had Ham, sweet potatos, Mashed potatos, fruit salad, cranberry relish, green bean casserole, and rolls. We opened Christmas Crackers and wore the crowns, and played with toys that came inside them. Uncle Tony was our guest and he gave the kids some adorable christmas straws to drink the traditional grape juice mixed with sprite.

The kiddos

I love these pictures of the kids from our family photo shoot. It shows their little personalities. We had fun, but it sure was cold! We went to Memory Grove in SLC. A freind from Cary's work took the pictures, and she did a great job. Audry Hall Photo, I think that is her web site name as well.

Kates First Performance.

Kates dance recital at the festival of the trees was absolutely adorable! She looked so adorable in her costume, and did a great job with her dance. I think she was a little shy with all the people watching, but she did well. She was very excited about her "first time performing on a real stage!"
