Thanksgiving

We had a great time with my family this year for Thanksgiving. He are my parents and my brother Brian and sister Lacey.
We tried to take a picture of my parents with all the grand kids. As you can see some of the little ones were not that happy to be taking another picture. We had a great time with our family. There were 20 of us altogether and it was such a great time for everyone. 

Happy 8th Birthday Kirsten!!

 Kirsten turned 8 years old today. She is such a special little girl with a lot of personality! Kirsten brings us so much joy and happiness. This is a very special birthday for her. She will be getting baptized at the end of the month. We love you Kirsten!! Here she is through the years......

Kirsten was only 2 days old here. She was such a beautiful newborn baby. I wish that I could go back in time and hold her again. 
She was 5 months old here. Her personality is beginning to shine.

Kirsten was 4 years old here. She was always very flexible.

Kirsten was a good sport, it was only 45 degrees the day we took these pictures.  If she looks uncomfortable, she was. 

Off with that cast!!

Lindsey and I have been patiently waiting for this day for over 8 weeks now. I have been giving Lindsey a bath for 2 months now.  She can finally have her privacy and I can get a little break from helping her do so many things that she couldn't do by herself. 
This is right before her appointment.
This is right after they took the cast off. Her arm is so weak. She couldn't even hold it up on her own. It will take a little while for her to have full use of her arm again.
Here she is with her arm splint. She only needs to wear this for a few weeks. Now lets just hope that we have no more broken bones again.

It's our 12th Anniversary!

Brian and I have been married for 12 years today!! For those of you who don't know, we met at a 5 stake dance our senior year of high school. We went to each others proms and then I waited for Brian while he served his mission. We were married a little over three months after his return. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband that I get to spend forever with. He is my best friend and I love every minute that I get to spend with him.
Here we are at Brian's prom April 1994.


Our wedding day November 9th, 1996. Gotta love those bangs!

Trick or Treating

Halloween 2008
Lindsey the school witch (we left our hat at home:() Kirsten as Dorothy, Caroline as Tink, and Lauren as a ballerina. 
We had a fun filled night of trick or treating. Our friends from church invited us to go with them.  Their girls take dance at the same studio as our girls too. The weather was a little chilly but is was perfect.
