Family portraits by Deb

My dear, sweet, lovely, great friend Deb saved us from
having to pay a fortune for our family Christmas
picture. I asked her if she would grab her wammy-jammy
high tech, million dollar camera and give it a shot.
They turned out great!! Thanks Deb, we love ya.

Ginger Bread Time

We made a Ginger Bread House .......


and Megan wanted to stick it up her shirt.

Cage was happy of a job well done. Notice his
missing two front teeth. That's all he wants
for Christmas!

Guess Who Is Potty Training....

Megan is so funny in her Elmo panties. She reminds me that
she can't pee on Elmo. She is getting so big!!

Lagoon Trail

I took Cage, Megan, Carson, and Cole to the Lagoon Trail. We
had a ball picking up apples for the horses and watching all
the animals. I couldn't believe all the leaves. It was obviously
fall. We had a couple leave fights and I lost. I got thrown to
the ground and tackled by all the kids. I really thought I
could take them. Boy, was I wrong. I got to finish the walk
with leaves in my hair, down my shirt, and everywhere else
that would be uncomfortable.

I wish this picture was more clear. It was so
pretty to see all the leaves. We loved the sound
of crunching leaves under our shoes.

Cole, Cage, and Carson playing with the horses.

Megan, Carson, Cole, and Cage!!

This picture was taken in Park City over Valentines Day
2008 with our good friends Jim and Emily. We went on a Slay
ride to a lodge and then went show shoeing to a Viking Yurt
for dinner. It was so much fun. Spending time with them is
always a great time.

Baby It's Cold Outside

Our first snow fall and the kids couldn't get dressed
fast enough to go outside and play in it. This is
Megan's first year to actually play in the snow and
she loved it. Cage taught her how to throw snowballs
at Myah. It was fun to see them laughing at each other.
Myah loves the snow and wants to lay in it. She must think it's
refreshing. I hate it because when she comes back inside
the snow is matted to her coat.
I couldn't get them to come back inside, I had to bribe
them with hot chocolate. I can't wait for winter.

Punkin' Time

Megan was pretty pouty pickin' pumpkins




Happy and beautiful


Katelin was tired of waiting for everyone


Cage had a fun searching for his
"Great Pumpkin"

Lovin' the Pumpkin Patch
Jaxson and Kenna

We went to the Pumpkin Patch to see if we could find
some good pumpkins. The kids loved searching around
to see who could find the biggest and the smallest pumpkins.
Megan wasn't in a very good mood and Cage endend up the
same way since we didn't bring any home. What a waste
of searching. He was pretty mad at me. I kept thinking
that they might go bad and the fact that he would hound
me to carve them. So we played in the maze and rode
around in the carts. I guess we'll get some next time.
By the looks of it, there should be some left.

Our Get Away

We had a great time on our cruise. We stayed the first night
at a really nice hotel in Florida. The next morning we went
through the big process to get on the boat. That was pretty
much a hassle. Between all the Homeland Security and ship
security I thought it was going to be an all day event.
We toured the ship and it was huge. By the time we left I
still didn't know what was on each floor. The ship left a
4:00 and by 7:00 I was sea sick. Luckily I called the doctor
and had her prescribe me the patch just in case. It worked
like a charm.
We weren't to impressed with the food. We thought it was
supposed to be this amazing feast. So I ordered Grill Cheese
for room service every night.
We went to a few shows, but spent most of our time by the pool.
They give you what they call a "Sail and sign card" so you just
charge all of your drinks and souvenirs. By the time we left
we'll just say that it was pretty heavy and it wasn't from
souvenirs.
When we got to Grand Cayman we rented Wave Runners and went
for a ride. It was so much fun. We rode to Stingray City and
played with the wild Stingrays. They would just creep right
up to you. I was a little scared because you could see their
stinger. Then we snorkeled the Grand Coral Reef and it was
beautiful.I can't believe how clear the water is. I could
have stayed in the water forever. When we got back to the
island we noticed there were roosters and Iguana's roaming all
over the town. I thought it was funny.
I don't really have much to say about Cozumel. It was Mexico!!
It rained for half the day while we were driving our Dune Buggy's.
We saw some Crocodiles (nobody knows how they got there)
and some ruins. We got some souvenir's and then had some drinks.
We had such a good time and we wouldn't have been able to go
without our good friends and family watching our kids. (Ryan,
Sorry about Meg pucking all over your car.)
It was time needed and time well spent.
Thanks honey for spending every minute with me.
I love you more everyday.

Here fishy, fishy, fishy

Our little fisherman.
Cage was born a fisherman. His Dad would take him fishing
when he was a just a baby and Cage would sit in his car seat
and sleep.
He is always so proud of the fish he catches and
laughs because he catches more than his Dad. His Dad
wonders why there is so much competition between him and
a seven year old. Needless to say, I have a freezerfull of fish
if anyone wants some. I wonder how long I can keep them in
there before they go bad.
Cage says "fish fear when they hear my name."

Jen's Skydiving Adventure

This is what my best friend Jen wanted to do on her birthday.
I think she's crazy!! Needless to say she made her jump, sailed
through the air doing crazy flips and spins, then landed on her
butt. She loved it and I bet she'll do it again. She just wont be
talking me into it. It was fun to watch her get all excited about it.
Cage and Meg were a little scared for her, but laughed when she
made it down okay.
Happy Birthday Jen!! We love you!
