DHS Class of 2000 10 Year Reunion

For those of you who graduated with me...our 10 year reunion is coming up. There has been a blog created just for the event. Information will be updated about the reunion as plans begin to solidify. If you have a blog, please add the link to address bar and maybe a post that says that it exists. This will help get the word out. In the near future we will post an email address that we are hoping everyone will send their contact information to so that we can send out mass emails as well. Thanks.

I Need a Cure...

For these Wintertime Blues...

I think that it has snowed 7 of the last 10 days, and currently I cannot breath through my nose ( I am going on 4 days now), and I can't remember the last time my entire family attended church together two weeks in a row due to EVERY sickness known to man. It has been a winter, and its only half way done! I found myself looking back at pictures just to see grass and sun. Here are some that brought a smile to my face...

Ian's Birthday...isn't he cute

Three legged races at Gma and Gpa Campbell's...ahhh the capris and t'shirts. And Mae's hair was so cute back then, I think I will take her this week and get her a nice summer haircut.

Zions...hiking, the outdoors...

I can't help but smile when I see this picture. As a side note, this little BYU hat is missing, so if it is at your house--we would love it back!

It was soooo hot at this BYU game, but I would take it now...

Alright. So I am sick of being cold and sick and stuck in the house, but there is much to be greatful for. A little update:

Our fourth and (we think) final child is on the way, and we just found out it will be a BOY! Mae was less than thrilled about this, but that's life right? Eh, we will just get her a cat. Things look good with the pregnancy and Mae says that I am soo big that it looks like I could have the baby any day (I just started wearing maternity clothes 2 1/2 weeks ago).

Noah is out of his crib due to catapulting himself out of it in rage a few times. He and Ian now share a room, and Ian LOVES being on the top bunk. This has been a much easier transition than we expected.

Brad is finally not loving coaching basketball (he still likes it quite a bit, but like me is anxious to have a little more time at home soon--Just in time for him to help out with track).

We are loving our new home and have finally even painted a few rooms...you will all have to come see, we love visitors. I have many plans for this spring including a fence for the backyard and Brad putting up our swing set and installing a sand box, hopefully our tax return will come through for us.

So there it is...our life. Enjoy.

Mae's Dance

I am sure that Grandma and Grandpa Foster and Grandpa Campbell thought--wow... I drove how long for THIS?

Mae only danced for about 3 minutes, but she was sure glad that some of her grandparents could be there with her--for anyone else who wants to see it, we do have a video of it--she messes up once and is pretty embarrassed, but for the most part she was wonderful!

We think that her favorite part of the dance was that she got to wear makeup!
She sure looks pretty, don't you think?

Hunting in Beaver...

...for a Christmas tree!

So... this is really Noah's first memorable experience with snow--and he had perma-grin from ear to ear the entire time we were out looking for a tree! He absolutely loved it, and when we tried to get him into the car to go home (we had to get back to my parent's house for the BYU game) he FREAKED out!



We try to cut our tree every year--not only is it a lot of fun to get out into the mountains, but the tree smells soooooooo good right now in our living room! On this trip there was plenty of fresh snow, and it was lightly snowing the entire time... the perfect day to find a tree.


Grandma and Grandpa Foster came with us so that they could make sure that we wouldn't cut down a blue spruce (like we accidentally did a few years ago).


We think that they had about as much fun as the kids did--Grandpa always has liked a good snow day!



All in all it was a great day--only made that much better by this touchdown during the game! Psssst--hey, Sylvester... you are supposed to tackle the guys in BLUE! Ha ha!

Thanksgiving in St. George

What a great break!

The kids had a great time playing with their cousins, and Lindsay and I had a great time relaxing!

Ian and Levi were inseperable for most of the trip--they play so well together and had such a fun time being Indians after Thanksgiving dinner!

Noah must have eaten too much turkey because he was pretty tired after dinner.


The pool was warm enough to bathe in--so we made sure to soak up a few gallons or so (thanks to Wendell for warming it up for the weekend!).

Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa! We love coming to your hose to visit!

A couple of pictures from our front lawn...

Granted, there is a bit of snow up in the mountains now, but we love our view!

Mae lost a tooth...

She was excited to have her first loose tooth, but not so excited to take it out. Lindsay threw in a helping hand and together they were able to take care of business.
