Kamryn

Kamy-Kam-Kam is how we like to call her but she is also known as her daddys' "Little One" and some times the good or bad nickname, "Little Mama".

She loved first grade so much she wanted to stay there. She would sit at the at the breakfast table, with elbows placed in day-dreaming position and say, " I'm dreaming of being in first grade again." She did move on to second grade though as you can see from her first day of school picture.

Halloween giggles.

She is often the leader of the kids. Both in the neighborhood, on the basketball court and at home. Kamryn is one of those cursed and blessed ones that knows when someone has crossed her line and isn't afraid to tell them about it.

She is smaller than her five year old sister Jill and here she is being the good "Little Mama".

Katelyn

This is Katelyn. She is the oldest of our 7 year old twins. Ben says she has a special place in his heart because she is exactly like me. Tall, long, giraffe neck, gets freezing cold easily, lack of hand-eye-cordination and a soft spot for animals are the obvious ones that come to mind. She even has my speed and my calf muscles, flex those calves Kate!

Here she is posing on her first day of second grade.

She loves the holidays and family traditions. She is a pro at Tooth Fairy visits, having lost eight teeth!




Is there any turkey on that plate? She went shopping with me when I bought our Thanksgiving turkey and she got totally grossed out! She said to me, "Mom, is that a real life dead bird? (Yes)...that is disgusting!!"


Halloween memories

...so sweet! (age 4)

ISAAC

This is Isaac on his first day of school as a fourth grader.

He is nine years old right now and a great kid. He enjoys school and does well at it. Isaac's major love is athletics, especially basketball and he's very good at it too. We love watching him participate in whatever sports he's doing.

Ben went on a big hike this summer with his brothers and friends from childhood. Isaac helped his dad prepare for it by hiking with him to the top of Mount Timpanogos (in Utah County) across the lake from our house. They left home around 6am and got back around 7pm. They both had tons of FUN and plenty of bonding moments!

Isaac's Uncle Legrand took him to Kirkham Motor Sports in Provo where he used to work. He got to sit in a polished alumium, 550 hp, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, Shelby Cobra! These were another few bonding moments.

Picture Catch Up

Here is a photo taken of us in October after General Conference. Ben was our photographer. Our timing with the sun was not great so we're all squinting but I love the placement of the kids!
