 There is nothing spooky or eery about these two. I love that they like to play up their character while taking photographs. They. ARE. ADORABLE!!! Happy Halloween 2014

Once again we packed our bags and set out for our wintery wonderland in Midway, Utah.  Our Christmas this year was similar to last year.  We had one minor difference.  We decided not to exchange gifts at all this year.  It was a group decision and was done in exchange for a good cause. The exchange brought feelings of joy that will last a lifetime. My kids' generosity makes my heart swell with joy!  We skied away our Christmas day at the Canyons Ski Resort in Park City, Utah and captured some marvelous memories in the process… I'm wearing the smile this amazing family continues to give me. Dawson, Bree and Brit traded in their skies this year for snowboards.  They picked it up right away and loved every second of it.  I guess I'm the only one left on skies.  Maybe next year I'll give the board a try?! Just typing that scares me to death.  Mr. B.T.C is an amazing teacher! ...

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! May this season bring love, laughter, joy and most  importantly a remembrance of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Your Christmas cards brought our family much joy!   Thank you for thinking of us this holiday season.

I got a special delivery on Valentines Day. Every year the girls get a special visit from  their daddy during their school lunch hour. Thank you for loving us so well.

For Christmas this year we pretty much stepped right out of the crazy hoopla that you can easily get wrapped up in.  The kids each got one gift.  Yes, you read correctly!  Only one gift and it was AWESOME! We picked out each gift very carefully. We figured it needed to be something they could really use for our Christmas travel. Each of the boys got a traveling bag. Genius! Well, Mr. B.T.C and I thought so anyway. We figured the girls could use a traveling companion for the long drive ahead so they each got a "new" American girl doll. When your daughters current American girl is sitting in a DOLL WHEELCHAIR, wearing a HOSPITAL GOWN with an EYELID that WON'T OPEN, a MISSING ARM and the dolls NAME has been replaced with SOUL SURFER you know it's time for a replacement.
