Spring Is In The Air

Flowers are Blooming! Birds Are Singing! Sun Is Shinning!

Time to get outside and enjoy the weather!

Time to ride a bike!

another Funny Story...

Does it ever end? I hope not! Reagan's friend, Maddie, from school, came home with Reagan today to play. Eryn wanted to go outside and play with the girls. I asked her, "do you like playing with the girls?" She said, " Yes, it's spectacular!"
It's spectacular? Funny Girl!

Funny Story.....

Eryn Jane is learning new words all the time! She would not be reverent in Primary yesterday, imagine that! Not Eryn Jane. She kept running up and down the middle eisle, I finally got her to come sit with me and she said, "No mom, I'm Frustrated!" At first I didn't understand what she was saying, I'd never heard her say that before. What Eryn? "Mom, I'm just frustrated, mom!"

More Pictures From Kids Week Off!

Hey! We just got these pictures from our friend Tanya. Friday before last, she, and her sweet baby Hannah, took us down to Santa Cruz. We ate lunch at her sister's home, Melissa. It was really great to meet her. She has a beautiful home and two gorgeous dauthers. Then we went to see the tide pools at Natural Bridges. It was very cool. We were hoping to see some starfish and crabs, but it was still awesome. We saw a lot of molluks, anemities, snails, etc. The kids had so much fun. We really want to go back with Daddy and maybe hit the boardwalk that's nearby.

Eryn and her new friend Audrey.


It was really windy that day! Hannah really liked it!


"Look Mom! See!" what is it? " I don't know, it's somfing!"

"aaahh! It bites me!"

I think Briggs enjoyed this trip the most! Lots of cool stuff to see!

Blue & Gold Banquet!

Briggs you received your Wolf Award! We're so proud of you!

a little initiation ceremony......Briggs is now a Bear! His fellow Bear Scouts helping him with his new Bear Attire!

A Day At The Children's Museum

The kids have this whole week off of school so we've been trying to fill up the week with lots of fun that doesn't include spending 24/7 infront of the TV, playstation, and computer. So, we went to the Children's Discovery Museum. It's very close to our home and the kids loved it so much, we decided to get a season pass. Their favorite part was the Waterworks. We spent most of our time there, but next time, we'll have to bring a change of clothes for Eryn Jane. She had a little too much fun.

Happy Birthday Briggsy!

Briggs hosted a "Game Night" birthday party tonight wearing his new favorite attire, Thank you Oma! This boy will never wear a plain winter hat, no matter how much his Mom begs him (it's cold in the mornings waiting for the bus!) But, he's worn this Patriots cap, along with his new Jersey, all day long! We think he looks pretty cute!
Briggs and his church and school friends...
Ate pizza and spilled Red Fanta on Mom's rug, but that's what Mom gets for buying Red Fanta (what was she thinking?)
They played video games...
board games...
and, of course, legos.
We all Sang "Happy Birthday To You...Cha, Cha, Cha..."
And, he got everything he asked for.......
Happy 9th Dude! "Rock On!"
We Love You!

Cheers To The New Year!

Well......I just spent about 45 minutes writing a new blog, all about Christmas time and New Years and all that good stuff. Then Jens gave me a call and kicked me off the internet. For some stupid reason ( sorry, stupid is not a very nice word, but there are worse things I could say ) it wouldn't save my blog and it deleted. Sometimes this "blogger" site is really annoying!
So.....to sum up Christmas and New Years and all that good stuff...we had a wonderful Holiday! Fun was had by all!
I really want to thank our family in AZ for showing us such a good time. And, thank you Beechers for sharing your home and time and food with us! We had a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone for the gifts and the love and time and support! We love you all so much and miss you much already!
So.....Here are some pictures of the end of our great 2006 and the beginning of a , hopefully, wonderful 2007!

Kristin and the kids infront of the Oakland Temple. We went with some friends from church to see the lights and eat Krispy Kream Donuts. It was fun to bundle up and the view of San Francisco from the temple is amazing. Of course, Eryn Jane is turning her head, we can rarely catch her smiling at the camera.



Our beautiful kids on Christmas morning. We're surprised they even smiled, I guess you'll do anything to finally get to open presents.

Now we're all back home, safe and sound and back into our routines (or at least trying to be). Briggs has a birthday coming up soon and is very excited about that. Thanks again to everyone! Happy New Year and Have An Awesome 2007! We Love You!

"All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth"

Gee if I could only have my two front teeth.......then I could wisth and Merry Christhmasth!

She lost her second front tooth a couple of weeks ago. I've been wanting to post the news for all that time and just now am getting around to it. What a big girl Reagan is getting to be. She, along with Briggs and Eryn Jane, are so excited for Christmas. Briggs told me today that, " this is going to be the best Christmas Ever! I can feel it! ". We've had lots of fun things to do during the holidays..... Shopping, shopping and more shopping...... christmas parties at the church, school and at the Tech Museum in downtown San Jose. Toy drives, christmas crafts and lots of popcorn and hot cocoa (the kids' favorite treat). Making more treats, delivering them and visiting with friends and neighbors. Recieving treats and christmas cards in the mail.....sending Christmas cards. Seeing Santa Clause and telling him just what we want for Christmas. Feeling the Spirit of Christmas where ever we go, especially in our home, which is the Spirit of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, remembering Him....His birth, the atonement and His death......all for us. I think this will be the best Christmas Ever!
We're thinking of all of you this holiday! We're so excited to visit our family and friends in Arizona the week after Christmas! To those we won't be able to see this year......We Love You and Miss You and our thoughts are with you!
Merry Christmas!

One front tooth down, one more to go...

Well, Reagan has had an exciting week. On Monday, she came home from school with one of her bottom teeth in hand and a big gap in her smile. She was so excited. That same excitement was felt, once again, when her Dad helped her pull out another loose tooth this evening. This time, it was one of the big daddy's, a top front tooth. Now the gap has doubled in size, but she still looks beautiful and, is now, sleeping peacefully in her bed dreaming of what the tooth fairy will bring.



We've had a great week. Mom attended parent teacher conferences on Wednesday while the kids played with friends (they had the day off). Both Briggs and Reagan are doing very well in school and mom and dad are very proud of them. Daddy bought his Christmas present, to himself, early this year. A new bike. He picked it up Friday after work and had a great ride on Saturday.



You can read more about that on his cycling blog. Needless to say, he is one happy cycler. Mommy had a fun week shopping for a new church outfit. She was successful and Daddy was happy that Mommy was ready, on time, for church today. We wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We miss you all very much and can't wait to see you at Christmas time.
Love, us....

Hey....forgot to post Eryn Jane saying "pumkin catch" so...check out our Happy Halloween post. The video has just been added.
