-CaTcH Up-

It has been a flurry of activity around this mad house!

Ty lost his first tooth. He cried when the dentist (my boss) pulled it out. NOT because it hurt, no, because, "I chew with that tooth."


Rilie had a soccer tournament in St. George. She and her team did so great! (Doesn't she look fantastic in her goalie stuff?!?!)


Dave had his second experience with kidney stones. SO much fun for everyone! Sorry no pictures of that one.

Two days after Dave's emergency surgery and five days after we got home from St. George off to Disneyland we went.

The absolute biggest Christmas Tree I have ever seen!


Even Disneyland is more fun at Christmas time. (No one ever showed Dave how to make a face.)



After all of the running around we have been doing the last little bit - we hope to do more of this -

Merry Christmas to all - and to all a GOOD NIGHT!

RIster is my voice of reason and typically the peacemaker in our home. She is truly a delight to be around. She shares my love of reading. She loves animals of all sorts (even little brothers.) I love this girl with all my heart!

HapPy HaLLoWeeN!

Rilie couldn't decide if she wanted a soccer friend party, a neighborhood friend party, or to have Audrey come over and party. Mean mom that I am, I told her she took too long to decide and that she couldn't have a party at all. Meanwhile, I called a few of her friends' moms and asked them to bring their daughters to meet us at Kneaders this morning for a Pajama Party.

Rilie was so surprised! She wasn't even too mad that I made her wear her pj's in public. Thanks everyone for making this so fun and special!
