Here are some pictures of our new house. The first two pics is our downstairs which is our family room and office. Then the kitchen. The second row is our front room/play room. The front door and the stairs going upstairs to the bedrooms. The front room and kitchen is on the main level we call it. The 3rd row of pictures is our basement. This is storage/my office and the kids craft/play place. The last picture is a crawl place for more storage. its about 4' tall inside, but perfect for seasonal storage. We have been loving it so far. The ward has been great and friendly and the neighborhood is quiet and its in a cul-de-sac. great for the kids.

Watching the snow fall down


Our whole family has enjoyed the snow this year! Its been so fun to play in. The other day I caught the kids sitting in front of the window watching the snow come down. I got the picture just in time, because that moment didn't last very long.
This is the view of our backyard during the snow storm. Its so pretty when everything is covered with snow and white.

Valentines Dinner

Every year The Thompsons have a Chinese dinner for Valentines. So we kept the tradition going and ate yummy Egg rolls and Chicken fried rice. Everything was so good, we all didnt' want to stop eating! The kids favorite part was after dinner when we brought out the chocolate covered strawberries for dessert.

March Fo{u}rth Party

Every March 4th we get together with family in person, phone, or via email to talk about our goals form the previous year and to set new ones for the upcoming year. This year we got together with the Thompsons and Julie, Cody and Garrett. We all had yummy sub sandwiches, chips, potatoe salad, and pink lemonade. Cody led the march with his trumpet and all the rest of us followed him around the house. As you can see Ava's picture she did not like what we were doing. She didn't move from the couch the whole time and had that worried look like " what are you guys doing?" After the marching we sat down and talked about how we did on our goals from 2008 and we all came up with some good ones for 2009.


We all vote for two adults winners and two kid winners each year to win the "Golden Boot Award" Congratulations to Tara, Liz, Cody and Spencer. Everyone did an awesome job this year and it looks like we have some good cometition for this year too. Happy March!
