Happy Birthday Mom

Happy Birthday mom!!! I have to say I am so lucky to have the mom I do. How grateful I am for the grandma she has been to my kids. She has created so many memories for my kids, memories that the kids will forever remember. How grateful I am for the sacrifices she has made for me throughout my life. There are many times that I truly would have been lost if I did not have her to back me up or pick me up. Thank you, mom, for being who you are and for loving me and my family. We love you

Happy Birthday Kait

Hope you have a great day, sweetie, we love you

Time to recap!

I haven't posted for quite a while and now it's time to play catch up. I'm going to be skipping over a large amount of content for fear that I would be here for several hours. For this reason the following pictures are the highlights of our holiday memories in 2008.

Libby sitting on Bryson's head, classic.

I am a fan of the fake smile. Here's an interesting one.

I don't know if she's smiling or if she's hungry?

Nothing fake about that smile. This little girl loves her uncle.

Here's the reverse of that. Benny has kind of a Mona Lisa smile goin on.

Dinner at the melting pot

This birthday/christmas for Sam shall henceforth be known as the the Transformer fad 2008. And seriously can you blame him... I had mine too. I dare say Transformers were cooler back in my day, but then again i'm totally biased. I remember when Conan was the most awesome action flick around, I don't think our kids would tolerate the sword fighing unless Arnold grew about 4 other arms and the swords were shooting fireworks.

Awesome game in Chuck E. Cheese's. If you see Paige ask her about the "Big Shot Story".

Cute girls with some latin person. I think she's related to Salma Hayek or something.

Rapid expanders are so cool.

The work in progress. I'm glad I didn't have to do all that crap when I was his age.

Here's the little man receiving the priesthood. I knew there was a reason I had a suit. Very proud of you buddy!

and who wouldn't be proud of this one. By the way she's turning 16 this year and will be sharing the roads. Make sure you buckle your seatbelts....and you guys better wear a helmet.
