Our new addition

This is Mousey.  He is our new kitten.  The kids love him to death.  They just can't decide who gets to hold him when.  Mousey has a very mild temperment and does well with the kids.  Hopefully, the kids will get used to him soon and not fight over him so much. 

Disneyland

Yes, we have been slackers.  While Abbey and Jace were off track in March we decided to go to Disneyland.  We had so much fun.  The kids had a blast,except for Space Mountain.  Here is a priceless picture of them just getting off the ride.

Here are the kids with their faces painted.  Ty was so cute to roar like a tiger and bring out his "claws".  Jace was also a tiger, and Abbey had a Unicorn mask done.  Lasted for a about 5 hours. 

 

We had so much fun.  It was great to celebrate Dave beating cancer!!!

Santa

Here are the kids decorating the Christmas tree.  They were so excited to do it.  I can't believe that it entertained them for so long.


Our ward, had Santa come and visit the kids at our ward Christmas party. The kids were so excited to sit on his lap and tell him want they want for Christmas.  It was so fun to see them so excited.  Here is a picture of each of them on Santa's lap.

 

 

The kids also wanted to write letters to Santa.  So Abbey helped her brothers make their lists of toys for Christmas and we went to Macy's to mail them in their mailbox for Santa.  The kids thought that was the coolest thing to do.  They keep asking if I think Santa has gotten the letters yet.  If I was only young again. 

Halloween 09

This year for Halloween our ward did a trunk-or-treat.  The kids really like this; they get to see all their friends at one place.  It was a lot of fun.  Jace and Ty were able to dress up for school.

Ty was Optimus Prime.

Abbey was Ariel the Little Mermaid.
                                                                                     










Jace was Batman












Dad was the one handing out the candy.






We all had a great time.

U2 Concert

The main reason to go to Vegas, was to go to see U2 in concert. It was one of Dave's life goals to see them in concert. It was the best concert I've gone to. We enjoyed ourselves probably a little too much.The stage was amazing, looking like a spaceship.

We didn't take the kids, Grandma Lou and Papa came out to be with them. We did go with two other couples that are our good friends. It made the trip so much more enjoyable with them around.Jeff and Sarah Flint

Chad & Stephanie Kearl

We had a good time. It was a great, much needed, mini vacation.

Hoover dam

While we were in Vegas, we went to see the Hoover Dam. What an amazing structure. It was worth the drive. So cool to see.

Just a cute picture

This was taken at Ty's birthday. I just thought it was too cute to keep to myself. Abbey has her dad wrapped around her finger so tight.
