Merry Christmas!

The best part has to be the giant hug piles of thanks each time!

Hannah is Five!

Hannah celebrated her birthday today. She is really hooked on anything 'princess' themed - I think Santa may have to follow-up on this...

Catching Up!

Scrap one computer system! When an electrical surge wipes a motherboard, and a hard drive locks up in the same week, it must be time to upgrade. It does add some nice options to a computer system to pick out each piece, though!

Posting some pictures from Amber's birthday ice skating, a summer Lasers tennis match, and Hannah's first visit to her new preschool playground (what better place to get oriented?).

Benjamin's Baptism

The big day finally came for Benjamin this Saturday. He picked his favorite songs, speakers, participants, and got his own set of scriptures. Looks pretty snappy in his new suit, too!

Cousin Party!

We had a fun visit from our NY cousins this week. We went to Incredible Pizza Saturday night, and the pictures should speak for themselves.

The Big Apple

James took a trip to New York City for an IB training last week. The meeting was held at the American Natural History Museum - talk about a place you could spend a week in! Saw lots of great stuff, and survived riding the subways!

Silver Dollar City!

We have been getting some good use out of our SDC passes this year. Any chance we get we're running down for some family fun time!




Look closely and you should be able to find three of ours in this one.











Kimberlie and Hannah got to join the cloggers on stage in the ampitheater's evening show.

No beach trip is complete without building some sand stuff! We made 2 turtles, an alligator, a dragon, and a familiar looking mermaid. Then it was time to bury Dad!

Took a dolphin-watching tour and tried our hand at body-board surfing. They even let the kids drive the boat on the way back up the bay!
