first day of school

Kaylee is ready for her very first day of Preschool at Santa Rosa Elementary. She was so excited to go!

Her teachers said she did GREAT. They kept asking each other...is this really her FIRST day of school? She did great with all the kids and fit right in!

A hug for Buddy before she goes.

Kaylee and Cade love to play together. They get themselves in very odd positions sometimes which makes me laugh. Today it was 'wear your shirt on your head'....Cade looks so tough and Kaylee looks like she's rappin in da hood.

visitors for Christmas

My mom and dad came to Maricopa to spend Christmas with us. While they were here Richard and Julianne and their kiddos dropped off on their way from Houston to CA. It was great to see them, and to see my new nephew Richard IV.

temple lights

We went to the Mesa Temple to see the lights. It was nice to get out after feeling so sick all the time....although I still felt sick that whole time. It was great to get out and meet some friends from our ward there too.


We came all prepared with BLANKETS and warmness!

Kaylee and the boots to keep her warm.

split again!

WOW! I never imagined it would happen so quickly! We are now a part of the new MARICOPA ARIZONA STAKE! During stake conference we were split from Casa Grande and made into two new stakes. It didn't seem like it would happen for a while. We were surprised that Salt Lake approved it. We're definately a small stake, but we sure are growing! The two counselors were our former Bishop and another great brother in the same ward. I'm so excited to have some people that I know serve in the stake presidency. The church is growing so fast down here. It's great to be a part of the growing process while watching it go from 2 wards to 6 and now a whole new stake.

remember when

I was going through the family website and I stumbled on this picture that Kelly and I took together in 2000...just a month before Kelly got married to Mike. My how much we have grown. Since then, just under 7 years ago, we've both gotten married, I've had 2 kids, Kelly's gone to beauty school and graduated, I graduated at BYU, we've both lived in many different places. I've moved to AZ and Kelly moved beneath our parents split condo. It sure has been some great times. I love thinking of how much closer that Kelly and I have grown since then...we're much closer than when we had taken this picture. I'm thinking of you Kel. xoxo
