Christmas early in Alaska

Davis sporting his new sweater from Auntie Sarah. Santa got Davis a basketball hoop thing where you can race each other(it is in the background). He was pretty excited.

Brandon and Davis after opening all of his presents.

Emma got a tricycle. She doesn't know how to ride it but she wanted to try.

Adelaide in her new dress for the Nutcracker sitting in her chair from Santa. She was disappointed she didn't get Emma's santa present. Santa brought Emma a rocking horse that makes sounds and waggs its tail. We had a very nice Christmas before we went to Utah.

Adelaide's Christmas Dance Recital

Adelaide looks forward to her recitals all semester. She loves being on stage and performing. Which is funny because she is shy talking to people and interacting that way but I guess she feels at home on the stage.

Playing with her friend before the big show.

She was pretty funny to watch- she got out of line a bit and then was behind a girl so she shuved her way to the front where everyone could see her. She let me do her hair and she thought she looked like a ballerina. She sure is beautiful.

Thanksgiving/B-day Party

Craft that Davis made in school. Gobble Gobble.

Cousins eating dinner.

Adelaide trying to take a picture of the grown-ups.

Waiting for her friends to arrive at her pizza birthday party.

My attempt at a free-hand jewelry box cake. She loved it so why do I care?

Happy Birthday Sweetie!

Three birthdays in four days is crazy!!!

What a nice looking baby.

This is my favorite picture of Adrienne.

Adrienne in Elementary.


Check out the new freshman.



Happy Birthday Honey, I look forward to many more birthdays with you.

Happy 4th Birthday!

I love how sweet she can be.

I love her funny personality.

I love it when she smiles.

I love it when she helps her brother and sister get dressed or get a toy. She can be such a great helper.

I just love having her in our family. She has such a spunky and precious personality. I can't believe she is already 4. Happy Birthday, "Goozie."

Happy Birthday Brandon!

The day we got engaged.

You are such a handsome "MAN." Happy 32!

Happy Halloween!

Before we went trunk or treating and they got all hopped up on sugar.

What a sweet looking "Mickey."- not Minnie! I tried to talk her into a bow in her hair and she could be Minnie but she didn't want to.

Davis kept telling everyone that they would scream when they saw his costume. He was very excited. His favorite part of halloween was trick or treating door to door- he said that he "loved" it.

What a pretty ballerina. Once she got the idea of you put out your bag and they put candy in it she was all about it.
