These are a few of the family pictures we had taken this fall. Annie graciously came back from Boise on her birthday and took pictures. I really hate having my picture taken so we haven't had family pictures since I was pregnant with Austin. She did a wonderful job and now I have to decide which one I want to get enlarged for over our fireplace. Decisions, decisions.

Caleb's Philosophy on Marriage

After Todd & Morgan got married, I brought home a picture of the two of them. One morning before school, Caleb and I were sitting on the couch and he was looking at the picture. He's asking me questions about getting whiskers when he gets older and important things for a 5 year old. He then says to me, "will I get married someday?" I said sure you will just make sure and pick a girl who loves Jesus. He sits for a minute and then looks at me and says, "will you help me find a girl?" I told him of course I would (I don't think at 20 he will think that it's a great idea that his mom help but for now it's great). Then he says Todd picked good, Morgan loves Jesus. Jeff picked good because Tausha loves Jesus and Grandpa picked really really good because Grandma loves Jesus and she buys us stuff. I laughed so hard. All the important things!

The weekend we went to Lagoon we also went to Hill Airforce Base, the kids liked the planes outside but there was a lot inside and they got tired before we could finish but it was really neat. I think when they get a little older we will go back again.





This was our trip to Lagoon, the kids get really tired of me taking pictures and half the time I can't get them to smile and stand still. They drive me crazy!!!!

So, my goal this year is to keep my blog updated more often than every 6 months. I'm hoping it goes better than my goals to lose weight!!!!

The slide show is from our trip this summer to Yellowstone, Lewis and Clark Caverns, and then Virginia City. We had the best time!!! We loaded up in a 15 passenger van that we rented and away we went. We spent a weekend together and my dad survived and is even willing to do it again. Although, I believe he was grateful at night to go to his room and be grounded there for the evening. If you have never been to Lewis and Clark Cavens, I highly recommend it. The kids had a great time, even the little ones and it was fun for us old people too. Enjoy!
