Girls New Hair Cuts

Sarah has been itching to donate some of her hair. Kate decided that she and her "twin" Devon needed to get the same hair cut. So, off we go to our friend Cheri who is a friend of ours and also cuts hair.
Here's Sarah all ready for the cut!

A little nervous!

Here we go!

8 inches to donate!

Here is the result, a very cute little bob.

Time for Kate and Devon to get their matching hair cuts. They turned out so cute! I'm starting to believe these girls may be Siemese twins. It's hard to separate them.

You think she likes her new haircut?

Justin's 1st Half Marathon

Justin's not quite awake yet.

O.K. Ready to go!

Justin had a burst of energy at the end when he saw Eric close to the finish line. He sprinted to the finish line.

Christmas 2009

We had a fun time at Aunt Mary's in Bremerton on Christmas Eve. I'm not sure what the girls liked better, their new socks or the bows?




Christmas morning

Sarah again, having fun with packaging!

Kate is in love with "Jacob" and was so happy he was on her birthday month in her new calendar.
It was nice to get back to basics for Christmas this year. It was fun to see the kids make gifts for each other or sacrifice the money they saved to buy a gift for their brother or sister. I think this is a tradition we will keep every year!
We missed our other family members who don't live close but we have each other and we are becoming really close. That is so important to us and it is so fun to watch these children of god grow up right in front of us. We give our thanks to our savior for his Christmas gift, eternal life!

Sailing with the Sea Scouts Dec 2009

One Saturday in December, BJ's 16 yr old cousin Ben invited us to go on the sailboat with his Sea Scout Troop in a lighted Christmas parade on the Puget Sound. We had so much fun even though it was pretty cold. The skipper looked like Santa and the boat was decked out in Christmas lights. We had a pot luck and we got to see Ben in action at the wheel of the boat! Thanks for a great time Ben.

Eric's Birthday Nov 29th, 2009

It's all about the Bakugan for this 7 yr old.

So his sister's decided they needed to decorate a Bakugan cake for him.

He is so excited and loves his Bakugan cake!

Make a wish (for more Bakugan, of course)

Oh no, we have to take the Bakugan off the cake to eat it:(

Happy New Year

We had a fun new years eve with some friends of ours. I just couldn't have another holiday without a ton of people in the house, so we invited some of our closest friends and family. We were told we know how to party but thanks to Nichole for bringing some of the fun stuff too and everyone else for bringing great food!


My friend Sue attacking Kate after Kate attacked her. It's perfectly legit, I promise. Sarah's getting into the action too

Kate has a twin named Devon. They even have the same PJ's so they had to wear them, of course. Everyone at school gets confused between the two of them and they love that. They are such good friends. They had to be invited to the party. Kate's other good friend Sarah Hill is also a regular around our house. Kate picks some good friends!
