Soccer season

Better late than never, finally getting to my fall pictures.

Mom giving a pep talk.

Ammon & Alyssa came to the girls' games.

In action!

My little guy

He has really surprised us with how much he loves babies. Anytime I babysit this sweet girl he loves to help. He makes her laugh when he plays peek-a-boo, and he loves to talk to her in his sweetest voice. He is such a rough & tough boy, it's nice to see that he has a sensitive side, too.

December happenings

Our traditional Christmas Eve presents-new footie pajamas!!!!

She was awarded a Character Counts award in a school assembly.


They got to see Santa at a school activity.

Waiting in line to see Santa.

Making gingerbread houses at Grandma's house.

Zhu Zhu pets, we caved in and told Grandma that's something they want for Christmas; they even bought an elevator, slide, and garage.

New church clothes for Christmas.

Diamondbacks!

Our good friends invited us to the Diamondback game on Labor Day to watch their girls dance in the pre-show. We are so glad that we got to go support them and have a fun family day. Good job ! We wish we could see them more often.

Her very first Diamondback game

We stayed for the entire game-11 innings!!!

Anna & I have been good friends since 7th grade

We had to get a picture with the giant head...even though my kids appear very nervous.

She's even wearing her glove just in case a foul ball comes our way.

First day of kindergarten

The backpack is as big as she is.

Love those smile!

I didn't even cry! She was so ready to be off on her own. She used to be connected to me at the hip but now she's quite the independent girl.

Cousins in the same class

We love her teacher!

First day back at school

My mom always took a picture of us by the front door, just keeping with tradition.

Brother is going to be with mom all alone....spoiled!!!!
