So how does this blogging thing work again?

You may have noticed we don't blog a whole lot, and when we do, it's because of Chris. I have been hesitant to blog mainly because getting the pictures from our cameras to the blog is a little tricky for me, and Chris is good at making sure the pictures look good as far as lighting and shading and colors go. I don't ever do that. However, I do try to keep up with everyone else's blogs which are always inspiring and motivating to me. I am amazed with everything each of you accomplish. Thank you for posting. Because of everyone's blogs I have decided to just blog, even if it's a big mess :). So,here it goes. Hang on, I need to figure out how to get some pictures here for you. Got it!! :) (these are pictures I found that Chris had already put on our desktop.)

For Halloween this year we were a Nursery rhyme. Cylie was Little Miss Muffet, Chris was the tuffet, I was the curds and whey and Carter of course was the spider which he loved and did a great job of scaring everyone.





Halloween is so much fun. It is such a great holiday. My favorite part is trying to think of, then make a fun creative costume. Having kids to dress up makes it even better.

We went to the ward Halloween party which was terrific. Everyone had great costumes. On Saturday we went trick-or-treating with my brother's family and friends. This has become a tradition that I love and look forward to.

Now I need to start thinking of and working on next years costumes.

Still Here. Still Have Kids.

Seeing as how this is the last week of classes for this semester, it’s just about time for a quick update. By update, I mean pictures of kids.

Spring played nice today and stuck around to provide some warm afternoon sun. So, it was outside for some pictures to show that yes, Carter and Cylie are still around, as are we.

Cylie’s almost 7 months and Carter’s 2 1/2. They’re happy, healthy and, like us, staying busy.

Summer should provide a bit of a slowdown with school, hopefully leaving more time for moments like these pictures show, and maybe even a blog update or two to go along with them.
