All Caught Up

Whew! Now we're all caught up on the blog! I'm going to try to not let it get so behind again!

Halloween 2009

Don and I dressed up as road construction workers, Jordie was a hot dog and Jacie was a black cat. Don and I borrowed hard hats and vests from Dad. Don was noble and took the girls out trick or treating while I stayed in the nice warm house and handed out trick or treat candy. Don was a very handsome construction worker!

One of the Last Boating Trips of the Season

This was one of our last boating trips of the season. We met up with Travis, Nancy, McKenzie, Bridger, and my cousin Chris's boy Jackson. Jordan and Jacie became kneeboard experts, and I got a cute picture of the kids all sitting together on the boat. We sure have enjoyed the great times we've had on the boat!

Adam's Canyon Hike

On Labor Day, we went on a hike with Marty, Jenny, Jake and Ben. It was so fun and it is a beautiful hike. Next to Jordan and Jacie, Jake and Ben (my nephews) are my most favorite kids in the world, closely followed by my cousins' kids Bridger and McKenzie. (There are pictures of them to follow). Notice Jake with the red cast. He had jumped out of his swing and broke his arm. We had so much fun and enjoyed our hike and the time spent together.

First Day of School

This is the picture we took of Jordan and Jacie's first day of school. Jordan is in the 5th Grade and Jacie is in 3rd Grade. They look so grown up in this picture. Once again, our awesome friend and neighbor, Amanda Brezoff, did their hair all cute for the first day.

Jacie's Baptism

Jacie's long awaited baptism day finally arrived. On August 1, 2009, Jacie was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She really felt the spirit of the day as she said after she was baptized, "Mom, I felt the Spirit and it made the water so warm!" We are so proud of Jacie and are so glad to have her in our home!

Jacie is 8!

Eight is Great! Jacie turned 8 years old! She was so excited to turn 8 and be baptized! She had a birthday party at the Lion House on her birthday, then was bapitzed the next day. She was so happy to be baptized and she was just sparkling all day on her birthday which was July 31, and continued to sparkle through August 1 which was her baptism day. Here are some pictures from her birthday.

Cabin Pictures

Cabin Trip

In July, our dear friends, the Creer's took us up to their cabin. It is up in the Uintahs near Christmas Meadow. It was so beautiful up there and the kids had fun riding four wheelers, playing in the river, and hanging out. Don and Jodi loved how relaxing it was and enjoyed being with our friends. Here are some pictures.

Long Overdue Update

I have been a little neglectful of our blog, which is sad because so much has happened since our last post! Jacie turned 8 and was baptized, the girls started school, Christmas is just around the corner, and Jodi is PTA President. I guess that's why the blog has been put on the backburner. Time to move it to the front for awhile! Here we go with the updates!
