for Tara, Ryan & Shannon

How cute are they? But they miss their kids!

Guest bath remodel

This looks so pretty, Kevin you are the best! No before pictures on this either. I just forgot.

Chips favorite way to stay warm

He climbs on top of the tv via the stairway openings and loves to hang out for hours on the cable box. It's pretty much the only thing it's used for.

Happy 50th Anniversary Aunt Bella & Uncle Don!

I love you!

January visit to Michigan

It was much warmer in Michigan than it has been in Utah. It was really fun to have time with family and friends. Where are my pictures of Emily, Dick and Joyce? I guess I left my camera at home for a few of the visits. I'm sorry...I will catch you next time. I love you and miss you all!

Mom...you are beautiful!

Charles...you're pretty cute too!

Robert Steve...the best hugger!

Michael John...the very best karaoke singer!


Thursday Tea! I can't go home without my visit to Aunt Bella & Uncle Don's house on Thursday afternoon for tea. Uncle Don isn't allowed to participate, but he's there so I get to hug him.




Here is Tracey coming in for a hug from Addison. All of that love was not directed just at me!


And here is Julie, generously permitting me this picture while hating me for taking it. thanks Julie!


All about Addison! She loved my camera and therefore became my best friend for tea. So, this is the Addison collection from January '08.

Holiday lights

The lights as a symbol to celebrate the holidays seem to be a very big thing in Utah. So this is our modest effort. I'll be posting more extraordinary examples of excess so stay tuned.

more fun, more snow

Hooping!

The boys just had to break out the hoola hoop. It's a Thanksgiving day tradition from way back!

Ry - I'm so sorry you had to head home early for work and missed this. And, why didn't we have the video going?

November Excitement

Nice hair Ry! You asked for it!


Kids were here for Thanksgiving. What a treat! We had a great visit with everyone. Good food, football, walks to the park, and a trip to Hidden Peak on the tram at Snowbird. It was 10 degrees, very windy, and VERY COLD!!! Tara and I had to hide in a protected and sunny corner to keep warm.
