A Wonderful, Beecherful Weekend!

While the men are away.........The Moms & Kids play!
Jens & Chris in Solvang!

Not only do they act like brother & sister, they look like brother & sister!
Only.....I think they treat each other a little bit better than actual siblings!

Christine, doing what best friends do........cutting endless stacks of paper so her friend can make the deadline!
Thanks Christine!

Flower Girls! These three truly are SISTERS! What would Reagan & Eryn do without their big sister Cassie?

"I like this blue controller, Kristin!" "It's blue!"

"GAME BOYS!" Is there anything else to say?...... Nope!

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.








Eryn getting a present from her Aunt Kaci! So, exciting!

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!
