Red Carpet Event :)

A fun picture of us at the T-Mobile Banquet.

Church Boys

They are growing up fast. Russ and Wes love church and first thing they do after church is give each other their last snack that they saved from class. They say "family first" and then exchange the treats. They are good brothers!

Perfect Day for a Kite

We rushed down and bought a couple of kites. The wind in our back yard was perfect for flying and we had fun time getting the kites as high as we could.

Russel's 6th Birthday

Russ turned 6 and we had glow in the dark bday party with his friends. He had a blast and we had a great turnout. Russ loves to minature golf and it is the first thing he wants to do.

Sledding at its best!

The boys love to go sledding, despite the cold. Nothing scares them and they are always on the look out for good sled hills.

Crazy, but we have moved .... again!

Call us crazy ... and we would agree. We decided to move to a new home the week of Christmas. We found a great home in a perfect area and could not wait to move in. Moving was way more than expected, but we survived it. I hope the pictures capture our new place. The view is great as you can see the entire Boise valley and we have natural sled hills in our back yard! The boys have plenty of room to expolore the area and we look forward to spending time as a family in the yard.

Christmas 2008

We had a great time celebrating Christmas Eve with the Hulbert family. Who could ask for more than good food, kids signing, and Bingo! We really enjoyed having everyone over to our home! Santa had plenty of snow in Boise. I think everyone had to buck drifts to get up to our house. We are so glad that everyone made it for Christmas Eve. Russel and Codi sang "Feliz Navidade" together and Weston busted out his famous "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

Christmas morning started at 830am, not bad however Christmas eve did not end until nearly 2:00 am. The boys were excited and were screaming "It is Christmas" until we got up. Russ got a pinball machine, skate board, sled, and remote control car and Weston got his long awaited Speed Racer bike, Speed Racer Helmet, skateboard, sled, and mini pinball.

We also had a great time celebrating the reason for the season by sponsoring a family through the united way. Codi really enjoyed shopping for the little girls and spent hours shopping for dolls and getting the meal prepared. Russel is a sweet boy and will tell you the reason for Christmas is giving and for celebrating the birth of Jesus. It was a great family activity and we hope to make it a tradition.
