Getting Ready for X-mas

Since we have a house this year, we decided to make the trip to cut down a x-mas tree. The kids had fun and we are getting ready for mom and dad to come.

Halloween Fun

we decided to let our girls get the full "trick or treat" experience this year, so we joined lauren and shea and hit up the streets of logan. it was great and all the kids had fun. marley was a vampiress, asher was spiderman, tessa was supergirl, and claire was wonderwoman. the girls had a blast with their cousins and loved every minute of it. love, al

Please Join Us!!!

We would love to have everyone over on Sunday, October 25, at 7pm to hang out and enjoy some cake and icecream on us. We are celebrating our girls 3rd birthday and gifts or no gifts we want all to come! Let us know if you can make it, hopefully you can. love, t & al

another DIY project...

we actually finished this a few weeks ago, but the weather was crappy so i didn't take any pics. anyway, fake rock is dang hard to put up and it took us (mainly tim) a month of saturdays to do this small job. love, al

36 year old Dave!!!

Today Dave turned 36!! Given our current situation, it could be happier. He hopes to go to the baseball game today with his two oldest kids and eat to his heart's content. The best present anyone could give him right now is a new house!@ The only saving grace is he did get his boss fired and he is now the current boss! Go Dave-

Love Sue and crew

LOVERBOY

This loverboy is 12!! Almost a teen.  We love this little guy to death.  He is the funniest, strangest, most comical kid in our family. (check out his retarded seal video)  He got to go to Colorado with his dad to a rockies/mariners game and the had a blast.  Happy Birthday Smack!!  I love you tons.

Yes he is dancing with a girl.  Looks like he is having a blast huh!!

Tim's Craftsmanship

i have been looking for wood planter boxes for my front porch for months, but i could never find the size or style i was looking for. so, tim decided to make some for me and they turned out awesome. he measured out everything and even copied a modern design that we found online that was ridiculously priced. instead of spending $70 each for the ones i was finding at stores, we spent $15 for both. we stained them black to match the ceiling and hopefully the boxwoods inside will fill out more next year. i am so stoked with how well they turned out and just wanted to post some pics to show off tim's craftsman skills!!

oh, and happy birthday Jack!! we love you tons and can't wait to see you tomorrow.

NYC

New York was so fun.  It is really a milestone when your daughter enjoys doing all the same things you do.  We stayed on the 54th floor of the "W" right in Times Square.  We slept late, had room service and shopped to our (well princess Alexa's ) hearts content.  We saw Billy Elliott, Mamma Mia, and Chicago.  Billy Elliott was AMAZING!!  I can see why it won all the recent Tony's.  We did manage to squeeze in a few museums and ride the subway.  Alexa was pretty freaked out after her last traumatic experience on the subway, but we conquered that baby!!  Overall, just a fun mother-daughter trip!!  Happy Sweet Sixteen Babe!!  Love ya!  

Graduation!!

These are our GRADUATES!!  Two big boys.  Colin graduated from kindergarden and is going to be a big first grader.  Jackson graduated from 6th grade and is officially a middle schooler!!  He had his big cotilliion dance and had to dance with the girls.  He hated it!!  Haha funny!!  We sure do love dem boys around here.
