Christmas Cheer!






Thanks for the nail kit, Grand Carol! :)
Truly, the girls were super blessed (as were we) by ALL the thoughtfulness, love, and gifts they received this Christmas. We can't even count our many blessings! Thanks to all!

Thankful for Family

As a family, day after Thanksgiving, we climbed Iron Mountain - 6 miles round trip.
We made Syd do some weight training too.....

Daddy brought his cooker from backpacking and cooked us real "astronaut food" at the top of the mountain! It was so good!

Fall Memories

London had the pleasure of serving as a flower girl in her friends Hannah & Ricky's wedding, on Oct. 31st. It was the best "costume" ever!
The night after the wedding, we still got to dress up for the church festival! Here is Artemis! London was a flower fairy.

Here's London shoplifting a pumpkin. Just kidding. We went to Bates Nut Farm and got pumpkins.

Disney! School!

Here are the girls getting ready to walk out for their first day of 1st grade & 5th grade! Luckily, right before that happened......
We all went to Disney with Grandma for our birthdays! Ok, so this ride doesn't look so fun. But, truly, it was the only "bomb" ride. It was in California adventures and it's Mickey's Psycho Wheel (not sure about the name)........here's a tip.......do NOT choose the inner "spinney" wheels.........cause London is scared of nothing, and look at her in this pic. Another hint: when the attendent is REFILLING the barf bags in the ride car right before you climb in, run away screaming!
It's our "don't mess with Texas" family theme day........

2009 Revisited

YAHOO! Marshall & his hiking buddies made it to the top of Half Dome!
What amazing beauty in the Sierras. Marshall got to hike the John Muir trail for 3 weeks this summer.
3 weeks of amazing views, ultimate survival, blisters, and bonding.
Also in July, the NC crowd came to visit! Here we are after we took the train to San Juan Capistrano and went to the mission there.

what a beautiful mission!

Looking back on 2009

Thanks to incredible Uncle Joel and Aunt Marilyn, we have a new kitchen as of July!
When Auntie Marilyn wasn't cuddling with Sozie, or playing Barbies, she was partying it up with the kiddos and Claudia! Here we are at the zoo playing with Gorillas!
Whoops. Minor setback back in the lair of the Sabertooth Tiger.

New Elephant Odyssey is way cool!
