First day of School

The first day of the 2010 school year. The girls were very excited as you can see. I love this picture because it really shows their personalities, you can't help but be entertained! L- is definitely very spunky and B- is pretty mellow. But they compliment each other which is great! They are well into the school year and both are doing really well. It was a little adjustment for L- but she is fine now. They both have great teachers that work well with them.

L- Birthday August

It was my baby's b-day back in August and I haven't had a chance to post her party pictures. This year we rented the pool, it was great the kids just swam the whole time. L- had such a great time swimming with all her friends. She is 6 yrs old now and STILL she makes sure everyone knows it. I tell her she is still my baby! I feel lucky to have such a sweet child. Her dad was gone this year so we celebrated a few times,the best one when he came home of course. I don't think she minded! She got alot of great gifts, her favorite was her new princess bike she loves to ride all over the neighborhood.

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;)
