Ashley taking a "break" from the dishes to yap at Ron!

Scott taking a break!



Ron and Scott working on their fort!
Ahhh, isn't it a wonderful sight! Ashley doing the dishes! It's so nice to have her help in the kitchen! She's great at unloading the dishwasher too.

Scott taking "aim" at me! Turns out he's a pretty good shot. He got me right between the eyes!



Ron being silly!

Our Christmas!

Ok. I'm not great at updating our blog, so this is for Julie who checks it out every week only to find the same old stuff! : ) We had a great Christmas! The kids were more excited about giving presents to each other, Mom & Dad, and their friends than they were about getting them I think. They had such a good time shopping for everyone! That is my favorite part of Christmas-giving to others. Ron and I joined the Facebook crowd over the Holidays, so if any of you facebook, look us up! I'm not very good at that either I must admit! I don't really know what I'm doing.

We got a big storm Christmas Day and it was awesome! Ron and Scott went out and started a snow fort in the front yard! We went to see Marley & Me at the movies. I was in tears at the end of the movie. I felt silly walking out with red eyes. It was a good movie and everyone like it. It brought back a lot of memories of Harley our Boxer we used to have.

Well, I'll post a few pictures.

Take care and Happy New Year everyone!

This is an old picture of the kids, but I thought it was cute. They built a snowman for Ron (he was out of town and coming home that night). It sat at the end of the drive at our house in Smithville, Mo. The year was 2006.

Andrew will turn the big 5 on Thanksgiving Day!!! He's very excited and keeps adding new things to his Birthday wish list everyday! He goes to preschool and he has learned how to read! He likes to ride his bike, play with friends, and snuggle. He also loves dogs.
Scott is eight and great!! He likes to ride his mountain bike, play X Box 360, football, and board games. Scott is in the 2nd grade and enjoys school (especially recess). He is an awesome big and little brother!

Ashley is 9 years old and a lover of horses! She is in fourth grade and she enjoys History and Science. She loves being outside (especially in the canyon) hiking, riding bikes and going on picnics with the family!

Family Pics



We just recently had our family picture taken. They were taken in the American Fork Canyon just above Tibble Fork. It was a cold, windy day and we were trying not to shiver!
