Abby's 7th Birthday

We brought treats to her 1st grade class. We made cake balls in the shape of cupcakes. It was fun.   Jack was a little grumpy it wasn't his birthday. One of the kids in Abby's class just makes him laugh like I have never heard before, wish I would of got pictures of that! :)

Darcy's Wedding

One of my favorite people got married in January. Darcy and Matt Rich got married, and Ryan and I were lucky enough to be there. It was wonderful to see this little achievement day girl of mine grow up, she helped babysit all my kids, and looking back was one of my personal assistants throughout my younger married days.  If I could find the pictures from her wedding, I would post them, but can't find them. Oh well, gotta move on, I can add them later. :)

Holidays and Dance performances

Well, looking for some Christmas and Thanksgiving pictures was harder than I thought, but I know I made a bunch of pies for Thanksgiving.  We went to Billings for a temple trip over that weekend and did lots of shopping. 
Early in December, the girls had a chance to perform at the Free Day at the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, and danced some cute Christmas numbers.

I ♥ M.N.C

At church on Sunday, my girls were drawing before Sacrament started... and Sydney had this big heart, with I ♥ M.N.C all on it, with tons of hearts....
Maddie asked her who that boy was?

Sydney looked very perplexed.. MNC stands for my new coat!

I want to wrap that girl in bubble wrap and never let the rest of them grow up!

Plus, I love that she is like me, clothes are way more important than boys :)

Family Photo Shoot in Billings

 We had a professional photographer take our family pictures for the first time at the end of November for our Christmas card pictures. I think they turned out really good. There were so many we liked. We got some big canvas ones for our family rooms and got big ones of the kids. I love them.

Halloween

 Halloween, we had 3 pirates and a vampiress..



Fun Fall Goings On

1st lost tooth, cross country, 16th birthdays, and homecoming

 Abby lost her first tooth, and it was a very big deal.. She is growing up way too fast!

 McKay tried Cross Country this year. He did really well for his first year. He didn't think he did so great.  But we thought he was wonderful.. Running is hard work!

 McKay also turned 16 on Halloween. Where has the time gone? 

 Homecoming 2011 McKay on the sophmore float, and Maddie on the 7th grade float!
