Family Pictures - 2012

November 2012

We had our family pictures taken in Long Beach! It was a little chilly but overall the boys did great! And my dear friend Chelsey made us the CUTEST Christmas Card! 














Life can be tragically short...

On October 28, 2012, I received an awful phone call. The kind you never want to get. My dear childhood friend had been killed in a car accident. It was devastating news. Damon was a wonderful person. I have many cherished memories with him and his sweet family. Damon was born just a few months after me and we had literally been friends since diapers. His funeral was held in Burns on November 1st. It was a beautiful funeral but it was also one of the hardest days of my life. Saying goodbye and laying him to rest was heart-breaking. I am grateful for my eternal perspective and knowledge that he is in a better place and that our Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us. I think of him often and pray for his parents.

Halloween FUN!

Halloween 2012 

We celebrated an early Halloween with Kevin's family and a ward party! (Kevin had vacation so it was a treat to have him home!) We dressed up as a football family. Dad - Referee, Mom - Coach, Mason - Player, Miller - Football! We had a great time!












Pumpkin Patch Tradition!

October - 2012
Chelsey and I have started a pumpkin patch tradition! We have taken the big boys {Mason & Trigg} the past three years! Finn and Miller got their FIRST pumpkin patch experience this year! And Kevin got to join us this year! We went to Roloff Farms and had a great time chasing the boys around in beautiful fall weather! 












Seriously Mom, enough pictures!
