for him,

for my angel baby,

for her,

for her,

for him,

for a body that healed enough to accomplish this,

 for these,

and for this.

What are you thankful for?

Karalee is 4!

Today is Karalee's birthday.  This afternoon when we had some quite time together I told her the story of her birth.  I love to do that with my children on their birthdays.  We had a good time today.  Karalee is one of a kind.  She is a sassy little thing, but can also be sweet, when she wants to that is.  I love, love, love my Karalee girl.

Karalee wanted pizza for lunch and she wanted to stay at home, luckily I had a pizza in the freezer.  I love her saucy face.

Sister's make the best friends.

We had a family party this year.  Each of the kids had a turn to hit the pinata.  Marlee's turn didn't last long enough to get a picture taken because she didn't like it.

 

The kids decided the remnants of the pinata made good party hats.

Halloween 2010

We celebrated Halloween a day early since Halloween fell on a Sunday this year.  We had a great time at our ward's Trunk-or-Treat/Chili Cookoff.  Here are the only pictures I took of the kids in their costumes.

Are those of you who live in cold climate jealous that we can wear flip flops when we go trick-or-treating?  I love our weather these days.

Spencer was a hobo.  I told him we could draw a beard on him and he suggested the red beard in jest, but I told him it would be perfect since his beard will be red when he grows one.

Bryant was a policeman.  At the last minute he also decided he wanted to wear a clown wig, I'm sad I didn't get a picture of that.  It was funny.

Marlee is as cute as ever in her piglet costume.

Karalee decide she wanted to smile in a picture and asked me to take another one of her as a ninja.  She pronounced it "inja".
