Sometimes, it's too funny not to share. . .

Sometimes pictures are too funny and or cute - not to share. Here are a few of the kids in funny poses. . . .
Thomas likes to dress himself. . .





Trevor does too. . .(the pants literally go half way up his leg)






Thomas and Tylee love to make milk bubbles. . .




Tylee helps put away dishes before breakfast. . .





Then she eats. . .





Finally she is ready to go out to play. . . well almost.





And, NO, he has never been to Disneyland but can you say DOPEY?




Todd is such a nice brother, he always lets Thomas and Tylee sleep with him. (Hey, beats crowding our bed.)


Alas, this is our post. :-)

Gardner Villiage

When we were down in Salt Lake City for Chris' reunion, we made a quick visit to Gardner Village. Gardner Village contains the outlines of the once bustling early Utah mill industry and history. What remains today is a cluster of retail specialty shops located in restored cabins, houses and buildings nestled adjacent to the Gardner Mill. The shops are decorated thematically by season. The kids had a ton of fun, especially in the candy shop. Enjoy the pictures.

Mission Reunion

October=football and mission reunions

October has been a fun month for us so far, with Todd full swing into football we have all enjoyed watching him grow in his ability to play and also for his love of the sport, he loves going to practice and has enjoyed pushing his opposing player around.
We also had the opportunity to attend dads Mission reunion which was the first one in 16 years. it was not heavily attended but his mission president and a few of his friends were there and the kids all had a good time playing with others their age. Here are a few pictures to share with you all.
