What Good Boys They Are!

Little Jack Horner
Sat in the corner
Eating puddin' pie
He stuck in his thumb
And pulled out a plum

And said, "What a good BOY am I!" (and boy did our plum tree ever produce this year!)

One Plus One Equals...

Gr. Cole and I took a trip to see the grand kids. They love us and we love them! I guess that makes us a "Happy Family"!

They Did Pause a Minute To Smile For The Picture!

Joel and Parker loved their new Star Wars game their dad gave them. They could play it all day long if you let them! They sat this close and still yelled at each other constantly. DON'T DO THAT! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY GUY! GO OVER THERE! DON'T DO THAT! ! ! Guess who it reminded me of? clue - go back about 20 years! I wonder if they really know what they are doing? Gr. Cole says they do.

I Wonder....

Guess who is really playing Star Wars with Joel?

That's right! Gr Cole! I wonder who is winning? I wonder what level they are on? I wonder if either one of them really knows how to play? (He he) Oh well, I'm sure they are having fun!

Hangin'....

Another Winner!

We had a Happy Birthday to Colito! Shaunna came up with another winner -Homemade German Chocolate Cake! It was mmm mmm GOOD! We've had so many Birthdays in the last month I think (I know) I've gained a few extra lbs. Cole had to work until 9pm. That Sucks! I seem to remember Jake having to do the same on his bday! As you know - or don't know - Alex works with Cole. Well, on his birthday she not only got "employee of the month" ,but, she won the highly sought after Crabtree jersey. Sorry Cole! P.S. She did buy him a gift certificate to Texas Roadhouse.

Happy Birthday To My Jordy!

Jordan couldn't wait for his birthday! When it finally came he sang, "Happy Birthday to my Jordy!" - all day long. He also kept asking where his sponge bob cake was. Shaunna let him settle for wearing a paper sponge bob hat while she made the cake. She used banana laffy taffy for the arms, legs, and nose (mmmm my favorite!). And she used airheads for the teeth and tongue. We all thought she did a great job! When asked which piece he, Jordan, wanted first, he said the arm. He then grabbed the arm and gobbled it down. -Guess who ate the legs?

Yes, She Ate the Whole Guacamole!

Paige and I decided to throw Alex in the car and take her to Santa Fe for her birthday! We shopped until we couldn't shop anymore and then we finished the trip off with a visit to our favorite restaurant, Gabriel's. They make guacamole at your table side that is delicious! She really didn't eat the whole thing - just thought I'd get her back for not giving me a smile. I'M EMBARRASSING HER! (She's lucky she didn't get the birthday song while wearing a sombero!)

She didn't make out too badly in Sante Fe. We spent most of our time in Overlands. She thought she needed boots and hats for the cold winter in I-de-ho. Can you tell she fell in love with the Russon hats! And, somehow, I don't think the softies will be warm enough!

I wonder who she gets her talent from...

Paige brought beautiful bows for baby that she made herself!

Hmmmmm.....

This is how we kept the older kids entertained...



And this is how we kept the youngest entertained....

"Way, Way, too much fun... Ya, Ya, you've heard it before..

Geoff's "surprise" birthday party!

Too Much Work!

"Give me a sucker break! Boating is way too hard! "

Eight is Great!

Kelsi and her 8 cake! Her aunt Gina made it for her! Strawberry was her request. It was yummy and fed 40 plus - plus banana splits!

Wow!

Wow! Kelsi's eight at her baptismal - isn't she beautiful! Amy made her dress - we were all quite impressed! Her grandma Cole and aunt Paige spoke - for all us family and folk! We learned about Christ's baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost!

We are so glad Kelsi made this covenant and her father was able to baptise her. I know she loves him 100 times 1,000 and maybe more!

The family is a beautiful one this and everyday!

Sisters?

Sisters, sisters...........
......one says goodbye! the other says hello!

Believe it or not they don't have the same mother or father! Ours is on the left. Our friend, Tera is on the right. They both looked beautiful on their blessing day! (Including the moms!) The day was filled with blessings, covenants, family and friends!

Guess who...

Guess who the masked fighter is! Look at what we (Alex and I) have to put up with! Love him anyway! Go figure...
