Daddy's bling!

Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam!

Kamryn is in primary! Our primary gives a Book of Mormon to each new sunbeam and Kamryn couldn't get enough of it. They come in a cute carrying case, but she didn't care so much about that as she did the book itself. She loves to hear the Book of Mormon stories and I can't wait until she learns to read so we can really read them together. :-)

What I was dealing with for about two weeks....

This is what the New Year brought for my family!


Pink eye, colds, ear infections, high fever.....we had it all. (Except puking, thank goodness and knock on wood).

Temple Lights...a grand finale to a fun trip!

Joe's BBQ...some good grub!

The faces say it all....YUMM!!!

Christmas Morning

I didn't get too many pictures because I was too busy enjoying the time with my family. It was such a fun morning.

The Nativity Pageant

Doesn't every family dress up?

Our Shepherd and donkey.
Cute little sheep...
Mary and Joseph
Ah, the wise "rastafari" man. Of course, of course.

The Angel and "rastafari" wise man. Jason is a good sport for wearing Jeremy's costume creation!And we can't forget the narrator. This was when we were actually singing Christmas Carols. He's wearing my Dad's sweater and hat. I'm sure my Dad is smiling right now. :-)

Christmas in the Desert!

We spent Christmas in Arizona this year with my brother's family, my Mom and my younger brother, Aaron and his wife. It was a much needed vacation and I loved spending so much time with my family. As you can see, everyone wanted to get a turn holding Logan. Can you blame them?

Two of the handsomest boys around....I LOVE this picture of Logan with his Uncle Aaron.
Logan with his Aunt Whitney. She is so great with all the kids! We love her.Ellie and Ethan doing what they love most...reading.
Logan loves his Grandma! We're going to miss her when she leaves on her mission, but are so excited for her.
More Christmas posts to come, for any of you who still follow this blog.

Christmastime is Here

So, I'm a little behind with the Christmas posts, but better late than never. Every year, a bunch of our friends go to Thoroughbred to see some amazing Christmas lights. This is a tradition for a lot of people that live up in our area and we are no exception. They never get old and I love seeing them every year.

It's a rare moment when Kamryn wears one of these babies. Don't need them too often in beautiful Sunny SoCal!
These next two pictures are for my brothers and I to enjoy. It wasn't the greatest season for USC, but they'll bring it back. As long as Pete Carroll is the coach, I have faith in them....and the Lakers, well, they're the Lakers. Bring on a "Back to Back" baby!!!
This one is one of my favorite pictures of Kamryn and her buddies. I fee like it captures their personalities. If you look closely, Kamryn's friend, Jadyn is all the way up at the front door. Classic!
One happy little family. (However, not diggin' the look of my ear warmer there...)
