Family Christmas Pictures

This year we took our own family Christmas pictures. That was our first mistake. We set up our tri pod and took some ok pictures. We found one we liked of the whole family and hurried to the store to make up Christmas cards. When we tried to make the card up it wouldn't let us do it. I guess when Dave changed the batteries in the camera it messed up the resolution on the camera. None of the picures we took with that camera worked. Luckily, I remembered that I took a picture of just the kids with my other camera. This year we are just sending out a picture of our kids. These are some of the pictures that we couldn't print out. The bottom picture is the one that I took with my other camera.

Thanksgiving Day 2008

This year the Connors and my parents came to visit. I was a little worried about how it was going to work with family from both sides here, but it turnned out just fine. Doug and Lisa hosted Thanksgiving dinner. It was a really fun day. We played games, and the kids played outside. We took the kids to see the movie Bolt Thanksgiving night.

Making Cupcakes

I promised Katie we would make Halloween cupcakes. The Sunday after Halloween we finally got around to making them. We did spider web ones and Frankenstien ones. I think they turned out pretty cute.

Halloween 2008

On Halloween night this was the first year I havn't had to walk around with my kids. Ashley took Katie around and Kylie went with a bunch of her friends. I got to go out to dinner with some of my friends. Dave stayed home and handed out candy.

All dressed up for the Ward Halloween party. Chase worked that night and Ashley had a birthday party. It was wierd only taking two of our kids with us. The Halloween party was alot of fun as usual. We won the prize for the hottest chili.

To Kill a Mocking Bird Play

In Ashley's English class every grading period they have to do a bunch of projects. Ashley and her friends chose to make a movie out of the book that they had read as one of thier projects. They are all becoming quite the actors. This movie took them 3 nights in my family room. They seemed to have alot of fun doing it. The teacher shows the movie to the class at the end of the grading period.

The stump

One Saturday Dave decided to take out a stump in our back yard. We had cut down a tree in our back yard like a year ago. We had just left the stump in the ground. It was a lot more work than Dave thought it was going to be. He called his brother Kevin for some help. They started off by using this small jack hammer. An hour or two later I go out and they had gone and rented this huge machine. Thanks Kevin for helping my husband out.

Homecoming 2008

Chase went to his first school dance this year. He took Jordanna. At the dance they waited until the last part to go get pictures taken. They waited to long and the photograhers were not taking pictures anymore. Luckily they came back to our house after and I took a bunch of pictures. I told him that was my favorite part of going to a school dance was getting the pictures. Boys don't understand, he didn't think it was a big deal. Maybe it's a girl thing wanting the pictures (I don't know).

I love these kids!

Family Night at the Park

Dave and I were in charge of his monthly Family Home Evening clear back in September. I worked that day, and Ashley had a tennis match that afternoon. We decided to make it easy on ourselves and buy pizza and do it at the park. We had a good time playing volleyball, and just hanging out at the park.

9th Grade Tennis Team

Some of her best friends played on the team with her. She had a great season. We don't know what to do with our monday nights now that tennis and basketball are over.

Ashley played on her schools 9th grade tennis team. She was second on her team. We were really proud of her she did really good.

Cousins and Sleepovers

The kids always have so much fun spending time with their cousins. They dressed up, made brownies and even played with a little sidewalk chalk.
