Boo at the Zoo!

Paul and Wendy introduced us to Boo at the Zoo last year and we had to go back this year. The line wasn't nearly as long and the kids love getting candy and being able to see all of the animals. AJ was going to be superman but decided at the last minute to be just like his big brother. This is TC third time being Spider-man. I would have to say that is his favorite superhero. Dakota is our little teddy bear. She looks warm at least. Can't really be dainty in this cold weather.

I found these cute stick-ons for the kids pumpkins so that they would have fun with the faces too. It isn't much fun when they can't use the carver. AJ was so proud.

Too Funny! A must see for all moms!

World Series tickets, anyone!

What is better than sitting here and anticipating the chance to possibly buy World Series tickets? Yeah, ok. Steve has me glued to my chair so he can get tickets. I think I might have to give up soon. I don't see it happening for me. This is crazy. I do hope that he will have the chance to go but I do have work that needs to get done. GO ROCKIES!

Care Package!

Okay, so TC is the biggest faker ever. He always pretends that he is still asleep when I go in to wake him up every morning. He is so not a morning person.

On the other hand, AJ is terrible going to bed but is up bright and early every morning with a smile on his face. He is dressed and ready for the day before I get out of bed. I thought that I was a morning person. By the way, sorry that I didn't flip my picture before I uploaded it.

And Dakota is still not awake. Good girl!

My mother-n-law gives the best care packages. They sent our Halloween package and there were lots of fun goodies in it. Like the eyeballs that TC and AJ are trying to stick in their eyes and gross but yummy chocolate toes and fingers. We also love having Steve's old school art project of the most psycho pumpkin ever. Thank you Pat and Garry. We always love getting packages in the mail. There is nothing better.

Probably the darkest period of Steve's childhood!

Yes, we still live here!

Oooo, googley eyeballs. Yet, very tasty. The boys got a sugar rush right before bedtime!

Dakota's way cute socks, on her way cute feet.

Dakota

Didn't do so well together.

House

Well, they started the siding on our house this week and finished the drywall. We are dying that we cannot be there to see the progress. We do get excited every time we get new pictures, though. We also tried to take family pictures. I guess we did alright. Atleast the kids were happy.

COLORADO ROCKIES!

Go Colorado! We are excited that the Rockies are going to the World Series! Too bad they waited until we left.

Summer of 05 - good times!

AJ - we were in Rigby at the Fun Center with Paul & Wendy, Cliff and Joy and I could swear that there was someone else with us.

Milk - it does a body good!

Fall - my favorite time of the year!

How sweet!

Laundry Day!

Lauren, Katie, Sarah, Jess, Whitney, Laura, and Bekah!
I love all of my nieces!

Yes, that is TC!

TC and Piper on a good day! We love you Piper!
Dawn, You know what I'm talkin' about!

Too funny!

Christmas 2004

WOW! I have been slackin' on laundry. I had about 7 loads to do today. Actually, we had company last week and General Conference all weekend so it was a lot to catch up on. Aside from all of the laundry, I found some old cute pictures that I thought I would post. Fun memories.

Snow Day!

Well, this is the second big snow we have had in the last 2 weeks. Isn't it sick? The boys were out playing in it at 8:30 this morning until AJ came in crying because he had been hit one too many times with a snowball. Dakota and I stayed in and kept warm. Steve tried to meet his buddies for Saturday morning football, but came back saying they were all pansies because they weren't at the field. Too bad. Steve got used to playing football and baseball in the snow, growing up in Colorado. I'm sure it makes it rough but Steve said it is fun to play football in the snow. We also had a family get together while Danny and Jonathon were in town. We sang Happy Birthday to Rikel and had cake and ice cream.

Steve's bike is covered, along with our cars!

AJ and TC warming up with hot cocoa after playing in the snow!

Our new home!

The view from the front of our house!

Clearing the land!

This is our Country Style Living! I can't wait to sit on my front porch and enjoy the warm weather.

This is the last picture we received of the back!

Well, I guess I could put a picture of our house on here since it is progressing so fast and we are so excited to be moving into a house again. When we sold our home in Buena Vista and decided to come back to school we thought we wouldn't have a home again for at least 10 more years. Thanks to my mom and dad, who are in the process of building us a home, we will once again have the joy of more space. We will rent the house until we can buy it from them. How exciting!! We love the lot and the greenery of Tennessee. We feel extremely blessed to have this opportunity. The pictures will show the progress of our house.

Yellowstone

Well, we thought since we have been in Rexburg for 3 years and still had not been to Yellowstone National Park that we ought to go before we move. It was really fun. We got to see Old Faithful, Yellowstone Lake, an Imax Movie on Yellowstone and we went to the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Museum. We saw a lot of animals and it was fun to spend sometime away with the kids. I think they really liked it. At least the looks on their faces told us that they liked it. It was nice to get out of Rexburg for awhile also.
