Just a Taste

Because I am so far behind on my blogging I am not going to try and go backward for you. Sorry! I know you are all extremely disappointed with that decision. But, there's a hymn that comes to mind that might help you feel better..........."Count your many blessings, name them one by one." So, just count your blessings that you are getting an update. The following is in no particular order and is just random, fairly recent occurances in our little family.


Taylor's first hunting trip with Dad. They went bow hunting for deer but had a hard time seeing even very much deer sign because of the super thick brush and lack of large public hunting land. Makes you a little homesick for the huge amounts of area in Utah and Idaho.
They had a good time just being together for the day though, and will probably go some more during the rifle season. Scott also said Taylor was really good rattling but they didn't quite bring one in.




Can you guess where Spencer and I spend most of our time these days?
This was right after we bought these for him and Scott had the great idea to put every pair (I think 6 or 7) on this head. Did you know a 2 years old's head is about the same as his waist? HMMM....wish my waist was only as big around as my head! Spencer is doing a fabulous job at potty training. I will spare you any more detail than that!


For our anniversary Scott and I headed to downtown Houston to see some of the sights. Here we are in a pedal boat. I had never been in one before so it was fun. We also went out for Fajitas (I can't get enough of those things lately!), went running together, an art musuem, walked around a "japanese gardern", out for a Vietneamese lunch, did some diamond shopping--you will notice I said shopping not buying. We also walked along the seawall in Galveston and on a ferry ride and saw our first dolphin in the wild. We ended our weekend with Italian food and then home to finish preparing my talk for the next day in church. We were tired from our jam packed 36 hours but it was great to be together. Thanks for the best 10 years of my life. I love you, Scott and can't imagine where I would be without you. Thanks for letting me be the girl that you love.



The first day of School 2010
Taylor 4th grade
Carter 2nd grade
Carlyn Kindergarten

No, Carlyn is not taller than Carter. She had on shoes that had a pretty high wedge heel on them.



The kids like to act out scripture stories on Sunday afternoons. Here they were depicting Christ's birth with Taylor as Joseph and Carlyn as Mary and Spencer as baby Jesus. It was so funny that he let them wrap him up in those towels. I think they used at least two. He was pretty hot when he finally got to get out. Notice they even have a star!

So, now hopefully you can feel a little more caught up on our lives. Until next time..............

I'm pretty sure your waisy is smaller or at least as small as your head. I did see you this summer.
