As I was transferring some pictures, I noticed some little videos from last fall that I think are just cute as can be. Yes, I realize it may be just because I am their dad, but I like them anyway.

This first video is shows how Kalli almost has a perfect landing.

Here is one of a group jump.

This is my favorite. Lots of laughing!

Moms can Relate to this....

Landon and Ryan spend many hours playing with blocks. Landon likes to make Dominoes and Ryan loves to tip them over. It is not usually this gentle between these two....

I think most parents can relate to this one below. Notice how many times Tara repeats and how it has no effect on either boy!

Christmas Tree

Ryan, Landon, Kalli and I went to get our tree a couple of weeks ago. We were lucky the snow was not too deep even though we did get into one tricky spot with the trailer.



Getting a tree is such a fun tradition - at least for this Dad.

Here the children are showing how deep the snow was and what a sacrifice they made to get the perfect tree.

Apparently the camera was foggy, but that did not tarnish these smiles!

Emily and Justin - does this almost qualify for the rule of thirds?

Ashley's Birthday

Ashley turned 10 on December 15. She has been practicing bumping a ball (any ball) against the wall or door to get better at volleyball. She loves it and has set the school record for the number of bumps in one minute (70, and the old record was 20!) She was happy to report that one to us.



I am not sure what is on her head?


A certain older sister loves to be the life of a party. Tara and I are a little apprehensive about the upcoming social stage of life.

Very excited to get "Wilson". I had to YouTube the Tom Hanks movie Cast Away so she could see why there was a hand print on the other side.

Christmas Programs

It is that time of year for Christmas programs. That means pajamas for Landon and Kalli for their program. Ryan was still hoping for snow I guess? Yes, he was very warm and so was his Mom and Dad at the program trying to hold him and keep him from terrorizing the people around us!

Here is video of Michone playing the violin in the Jr High Orchestra. They are finishing a song from the Nutcracker - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies (I think?)



Here is Kalli at her program doing a great job if I do say so myself!

Kalli's Day

Kalli turned 8 in November and was baptized in December. We had a lot of family and friends and it was a neat day. Here is Kalli with scriptures that her Grandparents gave her and a journal that Uncle Jacob and Aunt Wendy gave to her.

Later that day we went to the Idaho Falls Temple Visitor's center and looked at several of the Arnold Freiburg Book of Mormon paintings that were on display.

It was great to have Jacob and Wendy and their children up.

Kalli with her new scriptures. Our camera was having some problems so we missed the more important part of the day!

Saturday Morning Basketball

For about 5-6 weeks in November/December, Ashley and Kalli had basketball. It is school league but it helps greatly in developing some basic skills.

Here is Ashley going for a rebound.

Kalli waiting for the inbounds.
