We would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

This is a hilarious video of Miyah getting a tooth pulled by her grandparents dog Rudy. Watch closely you can see her head snap back.

Like Father...

Like Son

This June we also said goodbye to Uncle Joel. Jared's brother Joel has been called to serve a mission in the Czech Republic Prague mission. We are so excited for Joel and this new adventure that he has gone on. He has been in the Czech Republic for about a month now and he has grown so much. Even though we miss him very much (especially me on movie nights) we are really happy to have Joel serving a mission. We Love you Joel!

Guess Who's 6 now!







This June we celebrated Miyah's birthday with a Luau. We had a fun party with some friends from the neighborhood there. We had a limbo contest and played some games. A fun time was had by all. Especially the birthday girl.

I know I have not blogged for forever. So much has happened for us these last few months that I will just give you some highlights. For Spring Break the kids and I went to California to see Jared and we spent 2 days at Disneyland. It was so much fun. I seriously love Disneyland. It was really fun this time because our kids are a little older so they enjoyed it more. Shanes favorite ride was Indiana Jones, I think we rode it 3 times.

We had the blue and gold banquet last Tuesday night. It was a lot of fun. Grandma and Grandpa came with us. We decorated cakes and ate fried chicken and salads.

At the banquet Shane recieved his Bobcat badge and a gold arrow point. It has been fun for me to help Shane earn his badges. I don't really know a lot about scouts but we are having lots of fun

So we got our pictures taken last week. We had our friend Jilynn take them and she did a fantastic job. Thanks Jilynn.

So seriously I am a slacker. (I hope you are happy now Jillyn!) Well things here have been pretty crazy since I last blogged. Jared has been very busy with clinicals. He has about 375 cases so far which is pretty awesome considering he has only been doing clinicals since September. Miyah is in Kindergarten and doing very well. She is really reading well and learning a lot. Shane is also doing really well in school. Jared and I were able to go back to St.Helena California where we used to live back in November. We spent the weekend there doing all the stuff we loved to do while we lived there. We went to San Francisco and spent some time in Napa. We ate at the Red Hen Cantina and Guini's (Junies). We were also able to go to our old Branch and visit with all of our friends there. It was fun to see the old place. Shane turned 8 this December so on December 20th he was baptised. We had a special baptism just for Shane so that Jared could baptise him. Our family and friends were there. It was a very fun day. He has also had a blast going to cubscouts. We also had a very nice Christmas and New Years.
