House In Caos

Well we are finally remodeling our kitchen. So far we've moved the wall in between the kitchen and the living room, expanding the kitchen 2 feet and we have now framed in the new pantry. I will post some pictures as soon as I can.

TAKING A TRIP

I just got back from visiting Jane and her family last week. I went out to help her while Tom was gone to a conference. We had a great time, while I was there we celebrated Reili's birthday. I made her a watch (which Aby requested I do to match hers), you can see her showing it in one of the pictures. Jane sure has her hands full with this new baby and keeping track of everything else. Elizabeth is a beautiful baby and I loved being there and just holding her so that Jane could get other things done. I still don't think she got everything done that she wanted, but I hope I was able to help a little.

Reili, Amberly, Wesley and now Elizabeth are so cute and fun!!

JANUARY

Where did it go!!! Even though my Birthday was in January along with 2 of my brothers I didn't get anything posted. Sorry

CHRISTMAS DAY

After our regular fun morning at home opening gifts we went to Stephen's parents home. We enjoyed visiting with family (Shauna, James and Alex) playing and good food (Stephen's mom is a great cook).

CHRISTMAS EVE

Christmas Eve we spent with Lenore's family, the kids re-enacted the nativity while Grandpa read out of the scriptures. This is one of Lenore's favorite events during Christmas even though her extended family keeps getting bigger and bigger. We love being with all of them.

ICE SKATING

We took Kathy and the kids ice skating after we returned from California. Samatha, Joseph, Aby, Olivia and Lainey. And you can see Kathy trying to keep up with Sarah.

DECEMBER IS ALWAYS BUSY

The week before Christmas Lenore and Aby flew down to California to help Lenore's sister Kathy travel back to Utah for the holidays. While we were there we spent one day at Disneyland. As you can see we had a blast.
