The Christmas card that didn't get sent-- Callie, Caitlin, Bryn-- Dec 2008

Here's the card that won't make it to anyone's mailbox. Nutcracker and life got in the way once again. But.. hey... don't they look cute? We got a snow day from school out of it too!

Thanksgiving 2008

Part of the fam at Thanksgiving. We decided we hadn't eaten enough so we made S'mores the day after Thanksgiving. Danny left earlier in the day. Wish Hill, Brando and kiddos could have been with us but we will hold out for Blythe's baptism next June to all be together. Hope everyone had as much fun as we did this holiday. Now on to Christmas and Nutcracker!

Primary sacrament meeting

I love being the Sunbeam teacher. I have had only 2 stints as a teacher in church in about 15 years. I went on endlessly in a stream of presidencies, one after the other. Now I get to have so much fun. While we sat in the front for the Primary presentation I got invited to play the Wii at one Sunbeam's house at least half a dozen times while another twisted his clip-tie in his hair and wore it that way for the presentation. And another insisted she sit on the "soft chairs" instead of the hard plastic ones, then spent the program alternating between the two. They make me laugh every week and impress me with how much they love.

Homecoming!

A little blurry....But this is Leah and I before heading to Chili's for dinner before we got our groove on. :)

So this was the not so grand intrance.....

I went to homecoming with my friend Leah. We had a blast just me and her! We decided to get all fancy and just go to homecoming. We had so much fun. :) We got ready and then her parents came over to take pictures. So while being nervous for the "grand entrance" I totally tripped down the stairs....hince the laughing my head off in the picture above. I guess just call me Grace. :) But I am really glad I went. And props to Callie for doing our hair and makeup! P.S. I did not have a date! Just in case this sounded sketchy. Saving that for some hottie when I turn sixteen ;)

Ward Trunk or Treating- Oct. 25th

Bryn insisted a 50s carhop was her alter ego so we made the costume, complete with roller skates. At the party we happened upon a "Pink Lady" -- so lucky-- and we had to take this pic. Her name is Raesha DeRuiterZylker (yes, all one name) and she is a good friend. Blythe, this could be yours soon!

Yep, I am definitely new at this. Thanks to Corley and Cait for the previous blogs. I think I got tired of hearing "you should start a blogspot, Mom!" In the summer of 2007 we moved from Columbus, Georgia to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Quite a change for our kids but we have lived here before and Tim is from Las Cruces. We love many things about the area and one is the hiking and snow sports we get to do in the Sandia Mountains that are about 20 minutes away. Above is from last December. Cait and Bryn look a bit cold. Ok, I am out of words. I will have to ponder the attitude of blogging a little longer
