They Have Arrived!

Well...the Glow in the Dark Looney Tunes t-shirts have arrived! Thanks to all the family members that contributed to Sadie & Sophie's school fundraiser! The girls are extremely thankful!

The Toy Truck

My Dad insisted that we buy Ammon a toy truck for his Birthday. My Parents know that we are moving so, it didn't matter what size the toy truck was, just as long as Ammon got a toy truck! So...here it is! Ammon enjoyed making truck sounds while playing! Way cute!


Sadie took this awesome picture of Ammon!

Thanks Dad & Mom for Ammon's Birthday money!

Ammon Turns a Year Old

Ammon has brought so much joy into our family. I can remember the morning I went into labor and Ammon's excitement to be free from my womb! Dallas and I were eager to add our first son to our family of three beautiful rambunctious little girls! It was a special moment, as we gazed into the eyes of our handsome little son. A rush of love, hope, and inadequacy swept through me as I held my precious son. How was I, as his mother, going to teach him all that our Heavenly Father would want him to know! Would I teach him to live up to his namesake (Ammon)? Would I instill the desire to serve a mission or have a testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Yes. I would try. Just as I have been trying to teach my three beautiful girls...I would continue. Being a Mother of four spirited children has given me a glimpse of the love our Heavenly Parents have for each of us.

Dallas decorated this AWESOME YANKEES CAKE! Great Job Love!



It took Ammon awhile to warm-up to unwrapping his gift and destroying his cake, but once he got started he had a blast!



Ammon's Yankee Jersey is the gift he received from both Dallas and I! Pretty sweet don't you think? Personally, I think Ammon wants to be packaged in this box and shipped to Grandma's! Just kidding.

A year ago, we bundled Ammon in a receiving blanket...today he is bundled in a fleece throw! Where does the time go!

Our Man Child

This is how our MAN CHILD (weighing in at 25.8 lbs) walks around the house, he uses the Sponge Bob bat like a cane! Ammon started walking last week! Love you Buddy!

Halloween 2009

We began our Halloween Festivities with a little Halloween Party, which included snacks, pizza and "Scooby Doo." Dallas and I encouraged Sadie and Sophie to each invite a friend to share in our little festivities, they were way excited to say the least!




**********************Halloween Night****************************

You can barely see my face, but I don't care because the kids look adorable! Sadie is a Witch, Sophie a Fairy, Sariah "The Grand High Witch", and Ammon a Mouse!



The kids had to work for their Halloween loot this year. We no longer were we in Provo, UT trick or treating amongst BYU students, instead we were walking from house to house on Fort Knox, KY looking for those willing to share in the Halloween spirit.



Our first "Army Halloween" makes this Halloween one I will remember for years to come! The children were way excited and wired the entire night! Dallas and I are extremely blessed to be able to share in their joy of Halloween! We love our family to pieces!

Ward Halloween Party 2009

Friday was a busy day for us, with Dallas' Graduation and the Ward Halloween Party we were pretty exhausted! After school was over for Sadie and Sophie we took them to the store along with Sariah and Ammon to buy a couple of Halloween decorations. Our Ward was to have it's annual Trunk or Treat Contest and we wanted to win! So with much excitement Dallas and I came up with an idea to decorate our trailblazer. With much encouragement from Sadie and Sophie we began to prepare for this contest, the only problem being while driving out to Brandenburg it began to rain! Our hearts sank...because we were totally prepared to steal the show!
Here are a couple of pictures of the kids:

Sophie had fun playing the games!

Sariah had her cheek painted.

Ammon is not wearing his costume, but is enjoying the party!

Sadie dressed up as a witch.
