Cross Country Finals

After a long, hard season the girls Granite Hills cross country team made it to CIF Finals for the first time in the history of the school. Congrats! Wendy ran on Varsity with her teammates down at Mount San Antonio College on November 21st. She ran a great time of 20:17 for 3 miles. She is with her friend Chelsea Bennis.

Family Visit/Disneyland November 2009

Matt, Jennie and the kids came to visit for a few days. We squeezed in Disneyland, too. I love having the family around and especially seeing the funny antics of little kids.

First time we ever saw Mary Poppins characters. That was a treat. The girls went up to pose for a picture and Mary Poppins wondered why they did not want to chat awhile. They had the accents and all. Very cute!

Help! I'm spinning out of control!
John Paul sees something exciting.
Gotta see Pooh!
Abbey loves Pooh!
Eeyore is so kicked back.
The kids and Jennie all hopped over to see Tigger. They really did!
Don't let go Dad.
Mulan attitude.
Belle and Abbey
Little Princesses!
We watched the Pixar parade together. Great fun!
They didn't make you watch the video at almost closing time, so we all kept walking in and around over and over to get tortillas while we waited for the Pixar parade.

We had a BUGGY Halloween!

I tried to get them to wear costumes we already had in the closet. No go! My costume making days are almost over. I need to enjoy it! The girls looked cute. We went to our church trunk or treat party and enjoyed good fellowship! Happy Halloween!

Fall Pictures

I tried my hand at taking some fall pictures of the girls. Some friends of ours asked me to take their engagement pictures so I practiced on Wendy and Abbey.

Boating in October!

What a great activity for October break! We rented a trailer at Park Moabi on the Colorado river. We "camped" with eight other families and had a great time tubing and boating with friends. Unfortunately, Seth is at school and Emily had to work, so we had a mini family.

Our little Friend Casey - She kept those glasses on all day!

She's too strong to fall off!

My First Engagement Photo Shoot

It was really fun to try to take Ashley and Daniel's engagement pictures. I think they liked them. It also makes my job easy when they are both gorgeous, very photogenic. I am posting this in January so they already got married last week, so I figured I could post a few pictures now. Thanks for the opportunity!
