Twilight...........

LOVED IT!!!! LOVED IT!!!! LOVED IT!!!!! (Sigh) :O)

Grateful

I love pictures because I love the feelings that come when a picture triggers a memory. I pulled up this picture and it almost brought me to tears. This is a picture taken in our yard in Morgan. Dave was deployed and my cute uncle came over to till the garden for me so that we could start planting. We absolutely lived in the greatest place on earth while Dave was deployed. I was sure it would be the worst 18 months of my life. I am so happy to say I could not have been more wrong. Our little family created an unbreakable bond that I cherish! I was surrounded by friends and family that loved us - and made it known. Of course we had our down days - but those days were so outnumbered by days that were overwhelmingly blessed. I know that we were protected and watched over by our Heavenly Father who blessed us in more ways than I could even begin to express. Sometimes I get busy and forget some of the things that have changed and blessed my life. I am grateful to be reminded!

I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas.....

I found this picture on my computer and it made me homesick. We took this picture off the front porch of our house in Morgan. I have lived in Utah/Idaho all of my life and have almost always had a white Christmas. There is something magical about "Christmas snow".

I do have to admit I am loving the weather here in Alabama though! :O)

Little Wanna Be's

Dave was issued his flight gear today. I had some very excited little boys that think their dad is pretty cool!

Dads Dare

So here we have Kaden dressed up in his old costume from about 3 years ago. Dave dared him to skip all the way up to the end of the street singing the Winnie The Pooh song as loud as he could. Surprisingly - he took the challenge. The reward - 50 cents for ice cream at school the next day.

Happy Halloween

Soldier Colton was a little sad this year because next year he turns 12 before Halloween. Our family rule is trick or treating is for kids under 12. So he was bound and determined to get as much candy as possible this year. He did a pretty good job!Do you love how serious Kaden is about posing as a ninja. No joking around - this ninja business is serious stuff!
Porter was a little froggie this year. He was a little difficult when it came to trick or treating - he could not understand why we went to the door - got candy - but could not go inside and make ourselves at home.
