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.

Silly Girl

Adelaide has been saying pretty funny things lately- maybe not funny but smart things that I didn't know she comprehended. The other day she came in wanting to wear a t-shirt as a dress. I said "No, way- you need pants."
" Mom, I need to wear a dress, to get married!" she starts to walk off and says, " Ugh, I need to go get married in the temple!"

This morning I had the children's primary songs playing and I feel my Saviors' love started playing.
"Mom! Saviors' Love!" Adelaide
"Yep, who is the Savior?" Mom
"Jesus. Davis, who is your Savior?" Adelaide
"Jesus." Davis
"Yep, that's good." Adelaide

Yesterday was the primary program at church. One girl was talking about getting ready to be baptised. Adelaide said "Mom, I want to get baptised too."

She is a fun kid. She certainly has a sense of humor. Whenever we go somewhere and she is asked what her name is she says "Boo Boo or Doo Doo head," and then laughs because she gets a kick out of herself. Atleast I can be reassured that some serious gospel principles are getting thru that goofy personality.

Family Pictures(Professional ones)

This picture was taken towards the end and the kids were spent.

Sweet Emma girl.

He looks so grown up to me.

Brandon and I don't really have any pictures of the two of us. It was fun to take some couple photos.

Jamie sure captured Adelaide's personality with this one.

Happy family picture- and Brandon even smiled in all of them. I don't think he will ever live it down. For those of you who saw our engagement pictures or wedding photos he wouldn't smile and I am going to harass him over it for a long time especially since he cheeses it for his school pictures but couldn't smile on his wedding day! I don't get it. Either way I loved having professional pictures taken- Jamie did an awesome job. I love the fall colors.

Wildlife Conservation Center

This was the after math of our trip to the Wildlife Conservation Center. It is like Alaskas zoo- but way better.

This is a shot of the elk before it tried to charge Brandon. It must be that time of year because he was acting crazy. Brandon was making him mad by sticking the camera thru the fence and he was getting way upset and kept trying to ram him. Thank goodness for the fencing.

Emma was getting a free ride on dad's shoulders. She was rubbing his head and ears the whole time- she gets to ride and he gets a head massage- they were both happy about it.

Cheese.

Nice hairdo Adelaide.

I shouldn't have eaten that extra cookie.

My turn to get some luvs from my baby girl.

The bears were out and wanting to get over to the stream to play in the water.

Nice shades!

Davis was our own personal navigator. He was really into the map and telling us which way to go.

hey there dude?!

Oh- grumpah face!
