Happy New Year

I can't believe that 2008 has come and gone. We have had many blessings in 2008 and can only hope for the same in 2009. Happy New Year!

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas. Here are some pictures to share.

Strange Places To Sleep

Since Katelyn was evicted from her crib before the arrival of her baby brother she doesn't like to nap anymore. Some days she is fine with out a nap. And there are days that she will just fall asleep where ever she is. These photos are just a few days apart. I guess she was just too tired to make it upstairs to bed.

Its a good thing that table and chair were there to hold her head up.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving. There are many things to be thankful for this year. I am thankful for....my wonderful husband and everything he does for us....for my 4 healthy children....my loving parents....and my great parents-in-law....the freedom that we have in this country....the gospel.

Let us remember to be thankful for the simple aspects of our life.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

Blessing Day

Sunday October 12, 2008 Marlin was given his Baby Blessing by his Daddy Marlin. He is such a sweet boy and our family is so lucky to have him. Marlin we love you more than anything.

A Weekend Getaway!

This past weekend we got a much needed get away. We went to Pinetop to get away from the heat. It was the Fall Festival weekend in Pinetop. They had a car show, arts and crafts fair, and a parade. Kyleigh really loved the parade, she told me several times that we will have to be back next year for the parade. Thanks to the Hamel's for letting us stay at their cabin!!

She got really shy when everyone started singing Happy Birthday.
