Christmas bells are ringing...!

Twas the night after Thanksgiving and all through the house...we anticipated and prepared quite as quiet as a mouse! WE would spend a beautiful Saturday morning with crisp air, refreshing smells of evergreens, bells, hot chocolate, donuts, train rides and (best of all) happy friends!

Simple Addition

So, things are changing AGAIN. Hmmm, 3 + 1 children in one room plus the sleepiest and squishiest in the other...or 2 + 3 separately...or all 5 together. Does this make sense, what do you think? :) :) :) :) :)

P.S. I really would love to live in a shoe...preferably a tall boot...I love the split level idea!

School Days

So, five years come and slap me in the face! They say grow up, tough it out...she will be fine...the experience is for both of you! Well, let me tell you, public school is a joke...but we need to learn to understand and appreciate those around us in this world and learn to choose the path of light and truth in the midst of everything else.
After a total emotional crisis for several weeks...Mami is finally happy to kiss her little girl goodbye and hug her tight as I pick her up from school. I think I might just graduate from kindergarten!! (oh, and that's another funny story...she goes half and half to kinder and first grade only so that she isn't "legally" considered a first grader and have to stay any extra state required hours).

Dedicated to Nana and Grampa

...Walking along, moving along, on their way!

Oh no!

Little woman so serious about getting her family milk!

"This is how you do it big brother."

Jonny says..."Kitties always go with cows, don't you know?"

Sister Competition says, a little bit frustratedly..."Well, you need to MOVE Enoch!"

Mr. Particular about textures on his hands!


In remembrance of fun times at Nana and Grampa's house and in honor of the wonderful legacy of faith, love, and consecration of our Latter-Day Saint pioneers!

Enoch's BIG 4!

Enoch, these are for your guests. It's almost time for your dinner surprise anyway, ok?
"It's ok Calo, I have a BIG cake over there...see?!"

Let's go fly DUMBO.... up, up, do not look below....

Poor December babies!! But they are so patient to see what he gets!

"SPRINKLES!!!"

"I like to move it move it!"...and so does Alan!



Mami, can you help Raggedy Ann sit up right?

Guests of Honor... except Hyrum's Woof resisted being photographed.

Hyrum sneakily plops into the back and serenades the birthday boy.

"Happy-boo-day too Enik!"

Not quite Mami's vision. Didn't really want to throw in the scary and horrible bad guy theme, but even Winnie the Pooh dreams about awful hefalumps, right?

Bad, red eyed kitties incarcerated the fluffy and loved friends. Must spray the bad guys down to free them from the horrible prison.

More treasures! Again, another over excited and anxious DECEMBER baby.

Matching camo friends.

Rock stars.
Pirate Mates.

What is up there? Spiderwebs?


Stories!!


Knock, knock, knockity!

Surprise, from all your friends!

His long planned and anticipated ORANGE cake...made according to Enoch's instructions!
