Christmas Tree 2008

We spent last Sunday decorating our Christmas tree. It was the first time that Deni and Peyton were involved in the process. We had a great deal of fun listening to Christmas music and taking out all of our decorations. Christmas is so much fun when there are little ones around to share in the excitement.

Thanksgiving!

We were so busy Thanksgiving day that these are the only pictures I took. As you can see Deni and Peyton were feeling like they had been forgotten. It was a lot of fun spending time with Marv, Karen, Jake, Dylon, Kalob, Mindy, Matt, Ryan, Patty and Gary. It was the first time we had ever hosted Thanksgiving dinner. What a LOT of WORK!!!

Halie's First Preschool Party

Halie had her first big preschool party. She was able to wear her costume to school. As you can see she was Belle off Beauty and The Beast. She truly felt like a princess.

Mackenzie's Birthday

Mackenzie turned six on the 21st of October. We had a small family get together. Everyone that could make it came. As usual she got more then she needed.

Idaho State Fair!!!

We took the kids to the fair Saturday night and had a great time. We went to see all the animals and were able to pet most of them. They were scared of the longhorn cows. The girls had to have their faces painted. They saw a clown and thought she was the greatest thing they had seen all night. We also had to have pictures taken with all the cut outs. We had a great time.

Frist Day of Kindergarten

Mackenzie's first day of kindergarten was on August 21. She was a little on the nervous side, but soon got over that. I had to go with her for an hour the first day. Her first full day was on the 26th. She had fun taking a lunch and being able to go all day. It made her feel all grown up.

The Kids' New Playhouse

MacKenzie begged her Dad to help her build Sophie a dog house and he got it finished yesterday. It looks kind of crappy and he still needs to shingle it, but the kids loved it. They all piled in to see what it looked like from the inside.
