Jessika's Wax Museum and McKay's Christmas Program . . .

Jessika was Annie Oakley for her school's wax museum. She really looked the part.

She held really still during the museum.

McKay looked really nice in his red sweater vest before his school Christmas program.

Faith was at school, so I enjoyed going to his school and watch him perform.

McKay is such a sweet boy. Good job.

Ward Christmas Party . . .

I took my kids to the ward Christmas party. Steven wanted to stay home with Faith.

We sat with Dad and Mom and Jeff and Natalie and girls.

It was a breakfast on Saturday morning.

Hi Natalie and Brynlie.

Hi Hallie and Jeff.

We Are Thankful for Our Family . . .

We always love the Macy's Thanksgiving parade.

This year, Steven and I spent a quiet Thanksgiving with just our children. We had a wonderful dinner and then my parents stopped by afterwards and we all played the game Apples to Apples. We have been given so many blessings in our lives and have so many things to be thankful for.

Happy Halloween . . .

All our children on Halloween night. I took McKay and Faith around the ward trick-or-treating and Steven stayed home and passed out candy. Taylor and Jessika went with friends.

McKay was Woody from Toy Story.

Taylor was Wicked Red Riding Hood, but I loved her costume, it was very modest.

Jessika was a Vampira.

Faith was Cinderella.

School Halloween Parade and Class Party . . .

Steven and I went to McKay's Halloween parade at school. Jessika and her class went to Classic Skating so she wasn't in the parade. McKay was Woody from Toy Story.

Hi McKay, you're looking good.

I volunteered to help with McKay's first grade Halloween party. The kids had a lot of fun.

McKay Turns Seven . . .

We sure love our sweet McKay.

McKay loves Hot Wheels.

My Mom had fallen so my parents couldn't come to his party. I took McKay over to their house after his friends party.

McKay loves Toy Story.

Make a good wish. Happy Birthday to our dear son.

McKay's Party with Friends and Cousins . . .

McKay had a wonderful birthday party with his friends and cousins.

Brynlie was the cutest Rapunzel I ever saw.

Natalie with Hallie dressed as a beautiful peacock.

Here are McKay's cute cousins.

McKay and all his friends out on the trampoline. It was a gorgeous day for a birthday party.

Carving Pumpkins for FHE . . .

We had a lot of fun as a family carving pumpkins for Family Home Evening. I also made a yummy cherry cheesecake bar for dessert. Such a fun evening.

Beautiful Fall Colors . . .

This is up in Midway.

It's Time for School . . .

Taylor started 9th grade at Timpview. She is excited to be in high school.

Jessika started 5th grade at Rock Canyon.

McKay started first grade at Rock Canyon.

Faith started preschool in September. She loves riding the bus to school.

Midway, We Had a Wonderful Vacation . . .

All the kids at the Dairy Keen - home of the train.

McKay likes to grill, just like Steven.

Steven is so good at barbequing delicious hamburgers for us.
