the cattle

 
 
 
 
the kids have had a great time giving the cows their grain. Although the sprinkle little bits throughout the bunkers driving the cows crazy!

Waiting

 
 
 
 
We vacationed with the rest of the Wright family. Here, the cousins are waiting for the plane.

Fiesta!

 
 
We took a vacation (yes, a real vacation) to Phoenix to enjoy a little warm weather and the Fiesta Bowl. We had to leave early in the morning so the kids snuggled in their car seats.

Sun Valley

 
 
 
 
We spent the day at Sun Valley and took a trip up their new Gondola.

sledding

 
 
We have had very little snow this year, however, we were able to get out sledding once this year. It was a hoot!

christmas!

 
 
 
 

christmas was very exciting this year! the kids really got into the spirit!

halloween!

 
 
  This year I finally nabbed pictures of all of us! Henry, Emily, Caroline, myself, and cousins James and Adam.

 
 
 I am always the picture taker, never the in the picture.. the first is my attempt to take a timed picture of myself with the kids. not too shabby.

Fall pictures at CSI

 
 
 
  for three years now my mom and I have taken the kids to CSI for fall pictures. I have really enjoyed it more than I thought. Twin Falls really has a hidden gem. The college is a wonderful place to wander, look and simply enjoy. Lucky for us we got there before they wisked the fall leaves away!

Mr. Sparkles

 
 
 
  Mr. Sparkles followed us home one day on a walk. We had no idea how crazy Emily would be about a kitty. Andy had no chance to say no. His daughter melted his heart telling him about her new baby mr. sparkles. Our big adventure was taking Mr. Sparkles to the vet to make sure he was healthy before committing to have a cat. Although a slightly abusive relationship they both seem to love each other.
