Two beauties
The flower comes from a non fruit bearing banana tree that Mary, our neighbor has in her back yard.

Your mother and me with Imanolo Galarza and Lucas Panozzo
They were standing outside when we took the other pictures and we didn't want them to feel left out.

Felix is a deaf mute but he is the most active member of the branch.
He arrives at 8:30 every Sunday and prepares the sacrament and then passes it.

Awww! Nap time just couldn't come fast enough!

A happy bunch of munchkins!

All together now!

Just the boys!

Lookin good, Jaxson!

Sydney's pretty good at knowing how to strike a pose!

I thought Blake looked pretty cute in his hat!

We took the kids to the Quilted Bear store to look around. We found this cute hat for Reid and he modeled it for us. Then the other kids got in on the action....

This is Jaxson's 9th birthday party. It was a beautiful day outside but we held it in the garage to have a pin~ata. A couple of kids were "party crashers" from the neighborhood that saw all the fun a decided to just drop in! :O)

Nicholas

Here are a couple of videos of Nicholas (Nov 2011).

Nicholas' Bath

These videos are of Nicholas' bath. He doesn't like to be cold so he usually cries; except for when I wash his hair...he closes his eyes and enjoys it like he is at the spa.

Max's Birthday Party

These videos are from Max's birthday party. We went bowling at BYU. You will see we had 2 lanes. One was for the kids so that they could use the bumpers. And the other lane was for the adults. Dee had the highest score for the adults. And Blake had the highest score for the kids. And all 6 of the kids had higher scores than Jessica and me. I guess we should have used the bumpers.

At the hospital

Here are a couple of videos from the hospital the day Nicholas was born.

Halloween 2011

Garrett and Nicholas dressed up in their Halloween costumes as we are getting ready to go to Max's school halloween parade. Garrett wanted to be Scooby Doo and Nicholas is a candy corn.

Here is Max's halloween parade at school. The first lady you see is the principal. They had a contest at school and the winning class got to decide what she dressed up as. They wanted her to dress up as death - and that she died at the school crosswalk; hence the orange cones hanging behind her. The next lady you see is Mrs. Thomas, Max's teacher. She is a tiger. Max is dressed up as Mario from the video game. His costume came with a mustache, but he didn't want to wear it.

Blake and the Toys R US Christmas catalog! He's been looking at that catalog like it's gold! He even slept with it by his bed! We had to re-staple the pages to reinforce it.....it's a well loved book! ;o)

A closer view....

Sydney and Jaxson.....all dressed up for Halloween! They decided to dress up as me and Bryan! I go to Zumba so Sydney is a 'Zumba Dancer' and Jaxson is a 'Service Tech.' for Service Experts! (Hmmmmm, I never thought I would be a Halloween costume!) ;o)

Sorry this is sideways.... But I'm still standing after running 13.1 miles!....in the freezing cold I might add! :O)

Silly Reid! He would get mad if you tried to take off the glasses!

Bryan took this of the kids all ready for church.
