Miley Cyrus Concert

I love spending time with B- especially when we get to do something that she likes. Going to this concert was a blast not because I would have picked it, but because B- would have. And I just loved seeing the excitement on her face just being there! Even if Miley is taking a turn in her life, trying to find herself.

Yes! I know how to have a good time:)

The excitement shows!

Halloween This Year!!

We started the tradition of having a Halloween party for the girls each year. This is the third year we have done it. Each year I learn something new and do something different. This year B- and L- each invited 3 friends to come. There ended up being 2 of each that came. The girls had a great time playing games, doing crafts, and eating lots of food and candy of course! All the girls got along beautifully and had a great time!

I'm not a craft person but I thought everthing turned out really cute!

L- and her friends doing their craft.

B- and her friends posing.

This is B- and L- before they went trick of tricking on Halloween.

They also got to go to Daddy's work for the annual Trick or Treating Party!

Looking scary!

B- looking like a scary Vampire, NOT the kind you see in Twilight.

Very creepy.

L- said "Tigers climb trees so can you take a picture of me in the tree." I thought this was close enough.

Looking like a cute Tiger.

"Don't forget Tigers crawl too mom."

About Us

K- and I met in Colorado in 1997 while I was serving a full time mission for my church. My companion and I were out tracting and we knocked on K's- door just has he was pulling up in the driveway. He thought we were the girl scouts bring him his cookies,(haha) he had ordered the month before. Once he saw who we were he let us in and we taught him the 1st discussion, and came back every week until he was baptised.

I returned home a few months later and we kept in contact. K- was very persistent and patient with me, but he finally asked me to marry him after 1 1/2 at home. We were married in 1999 in the Seattle, Bellevue Temple on April 9th. We have been married 11 years now and have lived in many places; Colorado,Conneticut,Washington, Colorado(again), and Virginia.

We currently live in Virginia. K- works for the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers Middle East District and has for the last 6 years first as a contractor then term and now perminent. He also is an E-8 in the U.S. Army reserves. He has served and worked in Iraq several times. He travels to different places on occasion, in and out of the country. He works very hard for his family and we appreciate all he does for us.

G- is a at home mom, she teaches Jazzercise at a local gym, she has been teaching for 5 years and loves it! She also teaches the youth at our church, will be subbing at the local schools and has been accepted into the Bachelors program online in the fall.

We have 2 daughters 10 yrs and the other 6 yrs they are full of lots of positive energy, they love ballet,swimming,biking, playing, and their American Girls.

B- is in fourth grade this year, she does very well. She is a very easy going child, gets along with most anyone, is very helpful at home and is a great babysitter. She loves to listen to music, dance, and is very good at it.

L- is very spunky first grader, always laughing and giggling and having fun, but also very sensitive, her drama will make her rich someday.

We also have a dog named Little Ann, she barks at everything, has more attitude then all us girls put together, and loves K- more then us. But we love her still the same, I guess;)
