Three sisters in a row

Chilling watching the kids open presents. Do we look alike at all?

Christmas Eve

Little Elena and Abby are so cute and so close in age....but so different. Give Elena some food and she smiles this big! Then there's me with sister Sara!

Santa's Visit

We were singing Christmas songs when Santa showed up at the front door. He shared a story, posed for pictures and brought gifts. These two were the only ones not frightened enough to sit on his lap.

Christmas Corner

I like to turn the whole house over at Christmas time and box up all the other decorations. I am learning alot from my friends.

Room Over View

Yes this is a live tree- although it looks too perfect. The limbs are kind of weak for all the weight of my new ornaments, but I love it! If you click on the picture and zoom in you can see some of the cute things on it. My most funnest tree yet!

Christmas at my House

I have alot of new decorations I wanted to share. I am becoming quite the home maker- at least I think so. So here are the beginnings of my christmas decoration posts! Wish you could come and enjoy them in person!

Thanks Giving Memories

We couldn't get Max to look, so we settled for this one. He is a cuttie though and generous with his smiles. We come to the fish hatchery every thanks giving to watch the salmon run and feed the baby fish.

Fish Hatchery

Me and Max reunited at last. He was a little camera shy. I forgot my camera, so thank you to Kari for emailing me some:)

Thanksgiving

Having fun at the fish Hatchery! Alison (2.75) had fun feeding the baby fish. Rene Max and I to the left.

Adventures in Mesquite

It's hard to have so many skills!

My Utah hair

This is an all around funny picture! The baby's pants are hiking all the way up to Canada and my hairlooks so UTAH, but really it's just the shadow behind my head ok? Sorry I have a lot of me and baby shots, but it seems the only time I take photos. This was at the arcade at the Virgin River Casino in Mesquite.

The Scariest Costumes!

I found Dorthy at the party! I had alot of people ask me if I made this costume, and of course I am not that creative. It itched and smelt like a gunny sack, but it was fun! Can you tell Leslie is a haunted tree?

Halloween

Annie Leslie and Abigail. We are strutting our stuff at the ward trunk or treat!

Me and Max

Hey Kari, Does he look bigger now? Sure miss the little guy.

Funny Story

This story is for everyone who knows the comedian Brian who talks about "take luck." So on Sunday I went to a homecoming of an Elder. Afterwards I wanted to tell him he gave a nice talk and while trying to say that the words came to mind that he did a nice job.....put job and talk together and it came out "NICE JOCK." I was a bit embarassed for a moment and tried to recover and explain what I mean to say, as if it mattered at that point. Silly me!

Picture Perfect

My recent trip to Zion's National Park. Every where you look is another perfect picture....this place makes anyone seem like a great photographer. This is the Emerald Pools trail.

Blowing Bubbles

Abigail and me at Weeping rock. She is really into bubbles- whatever makes her happy!

The leaves are kind of changing colors. This is the paved part of the Narrows hike

Baby Abigail (Leslie's niece) is at the age where she likes to be with someone constantly, so she likes to walk all over the house with me as I do laundry and cook or clean.

Fall decorations

I had so much fun putting together a new area of fall things.

Corner decoration

For those of you who haven't seen my newest addition, this is the corner decoration at the landing near the stairs.

Goolds

I saw these crazy guys at the marathon today. Phil got the best time and then Russel who ran his 8th St. George marathon stayed with Mark the whole way to help his brother finish. We really missed Michael this year:( I saw Jay and Carol Goold too:)

The Parents

We spent the morning in Oakland between my flights. What dedicated parents to wake up early to see me.

The beginning of my beautiful Maui vacation! This was at the Luau in Wialea.

Maui

Atop Haleakala! It's cold up there if you can believe it, but what a fun ride we had down on the bikes!

Get the right show on and they are angels! Just a few of my 18 nieces and nephews

Sisters

Me and amost all my sisters and cousin Sari! Our favorite gathering place- Leatherbee's Ice Cream Parlor!
