Meeting Lincoln

Jackson, Ray, and Madie meeting baby Lincoln on his birthday.  January 12, 2011. 

Valentine's Day #10

To the love of my life on our tenth Valentine's Day together. Each one has been better than the last, and I would marry all over again in a hearbeat. I love you!

Pigtails

Love this little girl in her pigtails.  It makes her look so grown-up, though—she is growing up way too fast!

Welcome

Temple Lights

We have a tradition where we go to see the Los Angeles temple lights every Christmas with my brother, sis-in-law and there two little ones—Luke and Tay (and soon to be third), along with my mom and sis.  Here are some pictures:

Christmas Morning

Here we are Christmas Morning:  Jackson got a WII game (the usual), Ray got a mass of Pet shops, and Madie got a little princess keyboard.

Jackson got the girls decorated rocks from his school’s santa store.  He was so excited to give them to us—three rocks for $5—I guess inflation really is taking off—I remember a time when rocks use to be free .

We visit my parents first—here are Madie and Jackson with my sis, Weeze:

Then off to Matt’s mom and dads:

Christmas Nativity

At Christmas eve our kids have the chance to perform Luke II, the Christmas story….Here they are:

Madie was the donkey this year—she wouldn’t settle for anything else, once she saw the costume…

Jackson was a shepherd (because his cousin kaden was).

Ray’s sweet cousin, Audrey was suppose to be the angel—she even had the part memorized, but was so sweet to let Ray wear the costume…

Christmas Eve

Here are some cute pictures of Jackson, Ray and Madie on Christmas Eve before we left to celebrate with Matt’ side of the family. 

Matt’s Grandpa

After Christmas we had a chance to visit with Matt’s Grandpa and his two daughters (his dad’s dad).  He lives in Arizona.  The last time we were able to visit with him, Jackson was less than a year old.  Here is a picture of all of us.

9 Months

Here is a picture of me with the kids—I wanted to document what I looked like 9 months pregnant—.   Stay tuned for Christmas pictures and pictures of our new little one!
