Thanksgiving Eve

I am sitting here reading all of the wonderful lists of thanks and I would feel ungrateful if I didn't share mine! (sounds like the opening line of a testimony in fast and testimony meeting huh!) :)

I have the greatest family. Not only do I have a very handsome, very loving, very giving husband. But I also have two of the cutest kids alive! I love spending time with my family. I would hang out with them all day and all night if I could! (probably explains some of the reasons my kids have a tough time going to bed!) I am blessed with a strong testimony of the gospel which I try to apply to my life. Blessed with goodly parents(and in-laws) who will take in my parolee dogs and love them because they know how much I love them. Our families are always there if we need them, and we are very thankful for that.

2008 has not been a good year for us. It has been the hardest year of my life. I know that the trials have strengthened and blessed me, but I really hope that the lord doesn't give me any more of those types of blessing in '09!

I am very grateful that Heather and I were able to open Paisley Studios. Blackfoot's Only Fine Art Portrait studio. We are doing really well and hope we continue to do well. That dream was a long time coming and I am so glad that it is finally here!

I hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday!

Possible Holiday Cards

Just a possiblity. What do you think? I want actual comments people!

Thanks and goodnight!

Princess Kynlee?

I think I may be in trouble!

Xander

I was playing with my kids and took a few pics. They are always so naughty and I never want to take their pictures but I was just playing with these and thought they would kind of show you what it was like. Remember these are quickly thrown together to see if I would like them....what do you think?

Happy Turkey

Our Dirty Laundry!

So I was working on pictures the other night and I heard a bunch of giggling coming out of our closet so I went to investigate. I found all the dirty laundry on the floor and two crazy little babies in my laundry basket! Xander loves having a sister to boss around.

Just call me super mom!

Ok so I am feeling kinda bad that it's November the 8th and I haven't posted any pictures of my sweet little monsters on Halloween!

They were super cute! Xander was Darth Vader because he fell in love with the Legos Starwars playstation 3 game. (highly recommended for young kids) Kynlee was the cutest little bumble bee you have ever seen.

4th Picture Tag

So I got tagged by Jessica for the 4th Folder 4th picture tag...

We haven't had this computer very long so it's a newer photo and it is pretty stinkin cute.

This is a photo of Xan when I realized that I didn't have any photos of my first child potty training. So this is actually after he had been trained for a few weeks. He is still so dang cute! Love you little Xanman!
