Christmas 2018

Christmas Preparations!

We planned and enjoyed our Ward Christmas Party!

Decorating our tree with CANDY BARS!!!

David's 18th Birthday

We kept our tradition of having the missionaries over for dinner and cake.  

We love remembering David through these years!

We're expecting another daughter in May 2019!!!

Jonas proposed to Kelsey!!!!!!!!!!!!
... and we are so excited for them!

They are so good for each other... we love them!

 

 

A flash of fall... seriously time is going really fast!

The kids have been obsessed with fancy cars...  

and Reuben was the first to visit this sweet dealership!

Troy and Owen continue to "enjoy" their work 

at Panda Express and Costa Vida.

Micah turned 14!  

We enjoyed General Conference

Kick The Habit officially opened with 

the Chamber of Commerce red ribbon cutting ceremony!

 Kiersten made this awesome cake.  Wow! 

Evelyn turned 12!  

Troy and Owen donated blood for the first time!

(Troy's hair was only red for this one day...)

We went to a Harry Potter themed party at the library:

Thanks to some good friends, 

the boys have been to a few BYU games

and they've loved them, 

despite the bored look on Micah's face.  

And the boys seems to be good luck since 

the Cougars have won the games they've attended.  

Just saying.  

We've enjoyed having some out of town visitors...

Halloween 2018

Dad participated in "Halloween on the Main" in American Fork.

  

Jonas turned 21!!!!! 

We hosted a get together with our "El Pasoans"...

And enjoyed new friends too!

Fall isn't truly fall without football....

And the traditional White Friday temple trip!

A glimpse of our 2018 summer

Packing,
moving,
testing for black belt in taekwondo (!),
sharing/giving away our dogs,
leaving the Army,
scout camps and high adventure camps,
starting a medical practice/business,
swimming,
hiking,
Lagoon,
family time,
meeting Ainsley Rae,
healing a broken arm,
yard work
packing and moving around the corner...
its a little bit exhausting to think of everything we did!

Here's a bajillion pictures.
I have about a thousand more that capture the
ups and
downs and
sideways
emotions from this summer.
