Jamison attending an autograph session

This is a few months old, but I ran across the picture and realized that I had forgotten to post it. Jamison and I went to a Boise State football autograph session to get our football signed. Tad Miller (left) and Marty Tadman (right) were part of the Fiesta Bowl team. They offered to have our picture taken with them and the normally outgoing Jamison morphed into the ever shy Gracee. So this is the end result. Oh, well we got our autographs.

Gracee's First Day of School

Gracee's first day of school. Her two favorite things about Kindergarten are recess and snack time. A close third is riding the school bus.


Jamison on Gracee's first day of school. Mom, Jamison, Hudson, and Lilly all walked Gracee down to the bus stop.

Jamison being difficult

Jamison was being forced to do his chores, which included putting the silverware away. As you can see he has to do everything with a flare.

Our Week in Review

Jamison playing some singing PS2 game with his older cousin Jerik from Sugar City, ID.

This looks plain freaky. Hudson playing with his cousin Landon who was visiting from Auburn Hills, MI.

Jamison's fire obsession

For those of you who aren't aware of Jamison's obsession with fire this will give you a glimpse of how much he likes it. The other day Jamsion started to collect items from around the house to put into a big pile. JaNell asked, "what are you doing?" Jamison responded, "I'm building a fire." So JaNell provided some marshmallows for him to roast.

Our new Boston Terrier

I promise it was his idea.

Vacation in Hawaii

LDS Temple in Laie, HI
Sea Turtles

We hiked Diamond Back which has a beautiful view of the ocean at the top.

One of the sets of stairs we had to climb to get to the top of Diamond Head.

Our accommodations on the North Shore. The one bedroom condo was perfect for us.

Gracee's New Look!

JaNell and Gracee finally decided to end the daily wars. JaNell was fighting to get Gracee's hair done or at least brushed on a daily basis and Gracee wasn't going along with it. So JaNell took her down and got it cut. Now both parties appear to be getting along much better.

Snow Day

JaNell, Gracee, and Jamison took advantage of big snow day. They spent a couple of hours outside working on their master piece.

My 31st Birthday...

The kids took care of the candles for me.

JaNell surprised me for my birthday by painting (oil) this picture to hang in my office at work.

Let it Snow!

We went to Midway, UT (just passed Park City) for JaNell's family Christmas party a couple of weeks ago. The kids had a great time with their cousins and enjoyed all the snow.

Finally a new posting!

I figure that I had better post something to our blog before everyone decides it's not work checking back for updates.
