Santa

The kids got to see Santa at our ward Christmas party. Blaize, Sienna, and Savannah were very excited to get to see him. Blaize wasn't scared at all he was very happy especially when he was given a bag of candy to eat. :)

Christmas Lights on the House

As many of you may know Christmas is my favorite holiday and I love to decorate. This year while my husband was out of town for a few days I was a little inpatient and decided I would put the lights on the house by myself. Well I managed to get it done and only fell off of the ladder once. A few little bruises never hurt anyone right. :) Anyway it really did turn out nice and Steve thought I did a great job.

Jumping in Leaves

The girls have been talking about wanting to go outside and rake up the leaves and jump in them. Well we don't have very many trees in the front yard but they managed to rake up a little pile big enough for Sienna to jump in and have some fun.

Family Pictures 2009

Our Family Pictures 2009

We took our pictures by the Pudget Sound this year

The boys!

The Little girls!

All the girls!

I just love this shot of Savannah & Blaize it was one of the few pictures I got with Blaize smiling so good. He is usually such a camara hound but wasn't feeling much like it this day!

We took advantage of my mom being here and was able to have her help take our pictures this year which helped tremendlessly. We got alot of great shots. The pictures on the front of our Blog on the right are from this shooting. All of our children are growing so fast we can hardly believe we now have a teenager and a 2 year old little man. We feel truly overwhelmed but extremely blessed to have all of our wonderful children.

Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving Dinner 2009

We had set the food out buffet style we just didn't have room on the table with all of the people.

Janel, Hannah and Colton were able to join us for Thanksgiving


Hannah really enjoyed the food!

Here is my mom Kris showing some of the beauty of our table with the glasses and table settings (got to love our wonderful wassel sitting on the table doesn't every Thanksgiving table serve 2 liter bottle of your favorite soda) :)

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner we had all of our children here as well as Grandma Kris, Grandma Suzanne, Aunt Janel and her two kids Hannah and baby Colton. We had our dinner on Friday this year due to the fact that Steve had to work Thanksgiving day and Suzanne's plane didn't come in until the night of Thanksgiving and so it was planned for Friday instead and it was wonderful we had lots of great food and enjoyed having so much family here to be with us for the holiday. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Halloween 2009

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Hope everyone had a great Halloween. We did!!! I made the kids costumes again this year and they turned out great. All in all it went well. We never did find Sienna's hood for her costume so she went without and Blaize still would not wear the hat for his costume, Dorathy's shoes got done and Glenda the Good Witch had her crown after all. Hope everyone is doing well. I love this time of year. Hopefully we will get our family pictures done soon need to find another good spot to take them. Happy Halloween!!!

Ward Halloween Party!

Well as usual momwas late getting costumes done and we were late to the party. We missed just about the whole thing although we got to make an apperance to show off mom's work and we did get dessert and got to see the 3 Little Pigs play which was cute but all in all the costumes came out great. Sariayh-Dorathy (Wizard of Oz without the red shoes that mom still has to get done for tomorrow for Halloween), Savannah-Glenda the Good Witch (Wizard of Oz although in Pink and Purple sporting her wand but no crown mom still has to finish before tomorrow night), Sienna-Buzz Lightyear finished costume but can not find the hood, and last but not least Blaize our Mr. Potato Head and refusses to wear the hat. All in all everything turned out great and I loved sewing them it was alot of fun.
