Sunday Before Christmas Celebration

We had our annual Sunday before Christmas Celebration and it was an absolute blast. I really like to get together with all of Corey's family they are really special people. We did the nativity story starring the grandkids. Also, a special guest stopped by and the kids loved seeing him.

Todd and Tessa as Joseph and Mary.
Tessa being a good mommy.

Todd not so sure what is going on...:)

Zoey was thrilled to be on Santa's lap! She told him she wanted a Barbie.

And finally a family picture with Santa.

Ward Christmas Party

This is a picture from our ward Christmas Party. Corey's brother Joey and his wife Kara came with their sweet kids and my wonderful mother in law Connie came with us to the party. It was a lot of fun! Here is a picture of the kids with Santa. We are missing Grant and Emma, we could not convince them. :)



Thanks for coming and hanging out with us! Oh and also you can see Zoey's new haircut, we gave her a new start after a few haircutting incidents by her older sister.. :)

Zoey is Three!

Zoey had a really nice birthday party! Thanks to all that came and supported her on her special day! It was lots of fun!

So excited to blow the candle out!

Happy cousins!

Opening presents.



Aren't these boys handsome?? :)

And Zack enjoying the fun!

Halloween 2008

This year we got together with some friends from our ward at our home for Halloween. We had chili and cornbread with all the toppings and some yummy desserts! It was a great night!

Todd was a storm trooper.

Zack was a drooling pumpkin! :)
Zoey was Liana from the Barbie movie Diamond Castle.

And Tessa was Alexa from the Barbie movie Diamond Castle.

Todd's Fall Festival

Todd had a fall festival at his school and it was really cute! They did little activities outside and it was a nice HOT October day!

Here he is trying to use his hands in the donut eating contest.
The sack race. He is smiling in this picture but a few seconds later he biffed it big time and was so sad. :(

Another donut eating picture.

This is his teacher taunting him with the donut.. :)

Pumpkin Carving

We carved some awesome pumpkins the night before Halloween. Corey is the master of pumpkin carving and did not disappoint this year! He let the kids pick out their design and then patiently helped them.

Such a funny guy!

Zacker Mackers!

I guess I have not posted a picture of our little Zackers in quite a while... Here he is having a bath in the sink, smiling away! He is almost 8 months old and is pulling up on everything! I guess that means I am gonna have a early walker on my hands!
