Only Bryce...

Yes, only Bryce could break his arm only a week and a half before his and David's baptism! I told him that until he played for the NBA and was collecting a check the size that they were, he better not be trying to hang from the rim of the basketball hoop. Especially because then he could pay his own medical bills! Thanks to all our Doctor friends who helped us to keep the cost down!

Dancing Queen

I just know that she could make me rich by winning "So You Think You Can Dance"! All the music is coming from my ringtones on my cell phones... Maybe one of them is what I use to know that it's YOU calling... :)

Happy 8th birthday, Bryce!

For those of you who don't know, we only give our kids friend parties on the big birthdays like 8, 12, and 16. So this was Bryce's big friend party and it rained the entire time! I could NOT believe it. Here in the desert, who would have guessed? I felt bad, but there was nothing we could do about it so thank goodness for a dad and his friend who are just big boys at heart and made it more fun than any 8 year old boy could ever hope for. Thanks Clint and Joel! We ordered a few too many pizzas, but the boys definitely got all they could eat and more!

It was a little hard to light the candles because of how much wind there was, but we managed and the kids just loved the cupcakes.

We had a water balloon toss. We figured after how wet everyone was, it really didn't matter if the balloon got a little water on them!

Yes, see that puddle? That was how much it rained just in the course of the party. The boys didn't care, though. In fact, it added to the fun of the party.

Yes, it was crazy with this many boys running around, but so worth it. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the smile on these boys faces is worth everything in the world. Happy 8th birthday Bryce! 1/23/09

Christmas Time fun!

Santa came right to our door and took us for a ride! The louder we sing, the faster we go... of course, I think this goes a little slower than the sleigh...

And finally we get to sit on his lap and tell him our Christmas wishes!

Happy 4th Birthday Isaac!

Oh... The anticipation...
Can you believe that mom would put trick candles on my cake??? Don't worry. I blew enough spit on them to put them out. I can't believe some people didn't want any cake...

Happy over the smallest of things.

Glad to just have a birthday and be able to open presents! Happy 4th birthday my sweet little Isaac. You may be all boy at heart, but your smile sure warms my heart all the way thru!
