Our mini vacation

One year after being baptized, Jim went through the Seattle Temple and invited us to come. Jim asked Rich to be his escort, here they are in front of the temple.

Erin collecting shells

We went up and stayed at my mom and Jim's so we could be there for his endowments, but who knew we would get a little rest and relaxation ourselves. Thanks Nana and Crabpa we had a great time!

Happy Easter!

We hope everyone had as nice as a Easter as we did!

Spring Break

Well I haven't come up with much to do this spring break yet but Andrea and I did take the kids to see the new Hannah Montana movie today. Erin of course loved it and the verdict is still out for Allyssa. But she did just watch Return of the King for the first time and still has Aragorn on the brain. My vote is...I thought it was cute.

Happy Birthday Rich

I just want to wish Rich a Happy Birthday. Thanks for being a great husband and awesome dad!
Here are some things that he loves:
Target shooting
Building models
Teasing the girls
Mexican food
Cheesecake w/cherries
Me and the girls

We love you

A Good Laugh

Everyone knows I need a good laugh once in awhile and today I had a great one. This morning I got dressed, took Erin to school, visited with a few teachers, then headed down to Ogden to spend the day with April and Leigh. Well it took me half the morning to realize I was wearing two different shoes. Luckily April wears the same size as me so I was able to change my shoes when we went shopping. Looks like Rich will be installing a brighter light for the closet. The only question I have is...Jamie did you notice this?

Look who's 14

Can you believe it? Allyssa is now fourteen. This is one birthday she has been waiting for. Sometimes I think she is 14 going on 20. Happy Birthday Lyss! Thanks for being such a great kid. We love you!
Here are some of her favorite things:
Shopping
Twilight books and movie
Jewelry
Shoes
Cooking
And of course BOYS

This was a fun picture to see again. This is Erin and Addie at the fair in Preston. Look how small they are, they are both now nine years old. We never see Addie anymore since we moved. I think it is time we changed that.
