HELLO Family and Friends!

I have a LOT of new posts, so to see all of my pictures, you have to click on OLDER POSTS. I have pics from the past 3 months. Also, you'll notice that some of my pictures are sideways. Ummm, ya. I just didn't want to fix them, so you'll have to enjoy them with your head turned sideways. I'm still getting used to the Blogging thing. Also, if you can't tell, Kaitlyn was Wendy for Halloween, Breanna was Tinkerbell, I was Peter Pan, and Christoper was Captain Hook. Lots of Loves and Kisses!!! Natalie

OCTOBER




Happy Halloween!!! You can tell Kaitlyn was REALLY excited to get her picture taken. We had a great time trick-or-treating this year. We also had a TON of kids come to our house. I was out of candy by 8:00!

Bryce Canyon



I spent 3 weeks in Utah during the month of October while Christopher studied for his Engineering Licensing Exam. During my stay, my parents and I visited Bryce Canyon and Lake Powell. The rest of the time, I spent in Richfield hanging out with family and friends. It was wonderful, but a long time to be away from Christopher. I missed you honey!

Lake Powell



Cute Kids


Our kids have been sufficiently brainwashed by their parents to be BYU fans.

Kaitlyn started "Letter School" in Sept. (a co-op I'm doing with 3 other moms) She looks forward to it each week. It's just one day a week for a couple of hours, but definitely the high-light of the week for her.

Good Food & Friends


We met up with some of our friends from college, Chip and Deb Roberts, at the Crab Pot.

*Also, in the month of August, Natalie turned 28! (on 08/08/08 - Pretty cool - And yes, I know I'm getting old!) I was tempted to make myself a cake since that's one of my new fav. things to do, but decided to just let my husband take me out instead.

BREANNA'S BIRTHDAY




BREANNA is now 1! I can't believe it. She now has 8 teeth - says "da-da, ma-ma, na-na, and la-la" - blows bubbles - loves to push the buttons on the DVD player - loves to read books - and most of all loves to walk around while holding onto my hand.

I took a cake decorating class in March, so I got to test out my skills on Breanna's cake. Cake decorating is one of my new favorite things to do. I stayed up until midnight to get it done, but it turned out pretty cute, so totally worth it.

DEEP SEA FISHING




In Alaska we got to go deep sea fishing. Very fun. The first pic. of me is when I didn't know the camera was on and the captain had just told me to put my fingers in the fish's gills. Very slimy and bloody. Fun to catch and eat, not fun to touch.

ALASKA




So, my parents took us on an Alaskan cruise in July. It was amazing! Yummy food and very relaxing. The Pacific Moon was our favorite restaurant on the cruise to eat at. There was a waiter there who was from the Phillippines and spoke Sabuano with Christopher. (that's where Christopher went on his mission) So this waiter would give us extra steak, lobster, desserts, . . . whatever we wanted. It was great! Alaska was a little cold but absolutely beautiful.

4TH OF JULY




The 4th was fabulous! We went to Fort Missoula, Splash Montana (kind-of like 7-Peaks), had a BBQ, and lit off fire works. I also did laundry and a lot of packing since Christopher and I were leaving for Alaska the next day. I can't believe how big my Breanna looks in her picture. More like a little girl than a baby.

LAZY DAYS OF SUMMER



Kaitlyn has had such a fun time playing with the neighbor kids this summer. I've been letting them get in the hot tub (much to Christopher's dismay) and Kaitlyn is now convinced that she can swim.

BREANNA'S CRAWLING!!!

Breanna learned how to crawl on May 6th. Yay!

MAY FUN



The girls and I spent the first two weeks in May at Richfield with my family. We had a great time riding horses, swimming, shopping, and playing with all the toys at Grandma's house.
