One Hot 40 year old!

Happy Birthday Wendy!

Pics for Kerry's Brochure

Kerry wanted pictures of us for his brochure for his new funeral home. I hate pictures, that's why I always like to be behind the camera. You are all surprised I'm sure, but Dad cleans up okay. Mom's beautiful as usual. Ky wanted to make sure that everyone knew that she pushed the button on our picture.

Main Motion Christmas Show

Dec. 20,2008. This was the girl's Christmas Show. They all did a great job. Walker was supposed to do his gymnastics, but chickened out last minute. Above is Whit and her cousin Tiare. As you can tell. They both are blessed with ATTITUDE!!! Then there is Kori, Kelby and Kylee. We are very fortunate to be at such a great studio.

Christmas Day

More pics of the family. Kelby and Grandpa had a nice nap.

More Christmas Morning

Everyone had a great morning. Even Brigham had presents. You have a glimpse of the doll houses. We made three of them, for Kelby, Kori and Whit. They were huge! 4x4x2. They were a huge hit. The girls have not stopped playing with them. And of course, Kylee could not have been happier with her guitar. She thinks she's Taylor Swift. Well, we think she is too.

Christmas Morning

AAAHHH!!! Christmas morning. There's nothing like it. Kelb is going to love the shot of her fanny but I just love Kori's face. It was a great day.

Christmas Eve

We had the most perfect Christmas Eve. It was so great to have Craig and Deb here for Christmas. This was the first time in over 10 years that they have all been together for Christmas Eve. So it was a real treat. All our kids wanted for Christmas was for them to be here on Christmas Eve. Walker said he couldn't wait for Uncle Craig to come because then there would be more Boise State fans around. The first pic is waking up Christmas morning. Tyler was not too happy about the 5 am, but he humored his cousins and took one for the team. The second one is of the grandkids with their pillowcases that Grandma Morrison embroidered for them. It only took her over 4 months to get them done. What a keepsake.
The third pic is of the kids in their new pj's. Tyler is quite the model isn't he. What a great time we had. Wish we could do it all over again.

Feeling a little under the weather today so I thought I'd try to do a little catch up. These are just a few shots from December. The kids went to Clark's to see Santa. They always look forward to that.

Family Home Evening

Kori taught the lesson for family home evening on the council in heaven. We each were assigned to draw a picture of what the council in heaven looked like. Kori wins.

Kylee had the opportunity to compete at a regional scholarship competition. It is funded by the Danny Marona scholarship foundation. She first had to send in a video audition and then was selected from that to keep at this regional event. She performed a tap solo. She won a $500 scholarship and has the opportunity to compete at the finals in April for a $5000 scholarship. She was given the best compliment that night by Mr. Marona's wife telling her,"You were amazing. You've got it!" Way to go Ky!!!

This is January 7th, 10:00 pm. Walker out on the deck in his pull-up casting his new fishing pole that he got from Santa. This is a daily ritual. He spends hours out there practicing his casting. He pretends that the deck is his boat. No wonder he is still coughing horribly. What are his parents thinking?!!!!
