Pre-Halloween Fun

The older kids went to a Halloween church party tonight. Marisa went as Dorothy - complete with a real life "Toto" (for the picture only...she didn't take Lacie). Can you guess what Ryan is? (answer below)

We'll post more on our actual Trick-or-Treating costumes :o)

(He's a "Quarterback" - haha)

Marisa took Senior pictures of her friend, Madison. Here's just one of them - you can see others on her new photography blog here. They turned out really cute.

Cookies & Turtle Bread

I just found out last night that my mom is going into Hospice care. It seems so strange to me that my friends in our new town have never met her. She has never been able to make the trip down from Utah to our new home. Back in Kingwood, everyone we know loves her. She was always baking with my kids - specializing in bread shaped like animals and gingerbread cookies - wonderful memories for all of us. We love you Grandma Judy (aka - Mom).

A Tiny Sneak Peek

Here's a little preview (it's also up on there on the header) of the photo shoot we had in Provo this summer. The other shots (even better ones) will be showing up in our Christmas card -

so we won't unveil those just yet :)

Ryan turns 12!

Ryan had a really great group of boys over to help him celebrate his 12th birthday (can't believe it!!).

They were such goofs and a ton of fun!

Happy Birthday RyRy - we love you tons!
