Trunk or Treat 2008

Well, James smashed my camera so I have my friend Michelle to thank for these pictures.

Thanks, Michelle!


Indian Creek Ward Chili Cook-Off 2008, and guess who won?? Me! I was pretty excited.

Baer was/is a monkey this year for Halloween. He looks so cute in his outfit and he loves it. He just gets a kick out of it. Pretty cute.

After the chili cook-off we started for the parking lot to do some trunk or treating and Sienna was fast on James's heels trying to catch up with him. Sienna (ballerina) and James (ghost pirate) are great friends. I got James's costume a few weeks ago so James has been playing with it. Unfortunately that meant we couldn't find it all for the trunk or treating but oh well. He still looked cute.

I had to leave early from the chili cook-off/trunk or treat because I was asked to do the photography for our stake Green & Gold Masquerade Ball. I took at least 560 pictures so those will have to come later.

Baer and Daddy

Baer is getting at least one molar right now and is having a bit of a hard time with it. I don't think I have many pictures with Spencer in them so I thought I'd share this one of Spencer comforting Baer the other day. I just love how cuddly he is, and what a great daddy Spencer is.

Spencer almost refuses to look at the camera or acknowledge that I'm taking his picture. He hates his picture being taken. I'm thinking it's gunna take some smooth talking to get an updated family photo.

Tagged...thrice :)

I don't have many pictures of me since I cut my hair so I thought I'd share this one. In this picture I am at my parent's house working on an afghan on the loom (which I still haven't finished). This was taken April of 2006.

2 Cute Boys

I haven't updated my blog in a while, sorry guys!

Here is James with MY pants on.

And here is Baer playing tetris on Spencer's phone, lol. He likes the song and lights.

Here lies Kim

Our friend Kim has gone and left us and we will all miss her! Before she left, we had a 27 dresses going away party. Here's to you, Kim!

I had Spencer take a picture before I left.

These were before we got the camera centered. They ended up being the ones that had the best expressions, too. Sorry some of you are cropped out...It would've been easier if I brought a big tripod. Oh well, they are basically just snapshots anyway.
I think this one is cute even though...
Well everyone barely made it in this one.
This one is cute but in this lighting the smallest movements made us blurred.

It was a fun party.

Here lies Kim.
Daughter, Sister, Wife, Mother, and Friend
Kim was adventurous, spunky, creative, fun, and generous.
We love you, Kim!
















*Kim has only left us for Texas, but we will still miss her :)
