The "2009" news

We have had a very busy year. We have spent a bunch of time up at the Cabin in Bear Lake. We have had the opportunity to grace St. George with our presence a couple of times. The kids and I went to Steamboat Springs Colorado for our family reunion. There was Alaska. Off the top of my head that is it.

Arianna started 2nd grade. She started out in the Charter school. After a couple of weeks we decided to put her back where she needed to be.... with the "regular" school. She is loving it. I cant believe that she is going to be 8 years old.

Payten a.k.a. the "distructor" has kept us very busy. She is all over the place and into everything. She is going potty on the "big" girl potty. She most definitely has hit the "2's". It is a wonder I have any hair left.

As for Tom and myself, just doing the everyday norm. Tom is working hard. As I write this he is in the office and it is 9:45 pm. Blahh. We have recently found out that we are expecting. I'm currently 10 weeks. After IVF with Payten, this was most definitely a surprise. We are sooo excited to have another running around soon. We will keep you posted on the baby news.

Halloween


Soooo... this year was interesting. Payten is afraid of everything that makes loud noises and anything that looks, um... well she is afraid of everything. So we dressed her up, however she did not leave the house. She hid behind my legs most of the night!

Arianna did my hair and make-up. Im a clown.

The "DISTRUCTOR"


Payten was suppose to be taking a nap. Yea, have you met her? My friend Sarah named her the distructor. Clearly you can see why... needless to say, the dresser is now bolted to the wall and she is back in her crib!!




Ahhhh, the lake!!


The end of August, I think, we took the Sorensens and went up to the cabin!! We had a total blast!! There is nothing better than spending a weekend with some of your best friends. The best part is we were still friends at the end of it!! :) We went to the beach, rented a 6 person bike and rode around the town, ate, played games and of course we four wheeled!! Good times!









Weenie Roast


On a beautiful Sunday afternoon the Richardson's, Alders' and Sorensen's went up American Fork Canyon for a weenie roast. The kids had a blast running around....... then it started pouring. The End!!!
