Nativity

I have to tell you that my Dad's family (the Palmer's) are not really big into the Christmas thing where religion is concerned. I don't remember very many times even hearing the Christmas story out of the Bible with Palmers. But this year Grandpa and Grandma had a party at their house. The grandkids did a nativity. Thank you to my aunt Susan for the costumes. The kids had a great time and Kimmie has been trying to talk everyone she knows into doing the nativity with her. Johnny and Kimmie made great a great Mary and Joseph. Baby Jesus was played by my cousins baby Timothy.

Christmas Clothes

My mom is famous for getting my kids new Christmas church clothes. This is this years outfits! They look so cute!!! I can't believe how big they are getting.

Anniversary

This year is a little weird for Erik and I's anniversary. On Monday we will have been married 13 years! I can't believe that we have made it through some of the toughest times in our lives and have survived! With Kimmie and I headed to Chicago next week we can't really do much for our anniversary. We are still trying to work it all out. But honey I just want you to know that I love you and appreciate the husband, father, and friend that you are. I LOVE YOU!!!

Fire Station

Despite me being on overload yesterday. Johnny had a great time on his field trip. I didn't get very good photos so I hope that Bethany got some but I had to share this one of Johnny and his friend Trevin looking at each other. They look so cute and grown up!

Finally Easter Photos

My computer at home has been down for quite a while now. So finally I remembered to bring in my photos to work. This is the kids in their Easter clothes! Johnny didn't want his photo taken so he wasn't behaving. Kimmie's blood sugar was a little low so I wish she looked like she felt better. She doesn't really care about the candy thing (strange I know).

Idaho Trip

We went to Idaho this last weekend to visit the new Rexburg Temple. We had a wonderful time. The kids loved the temple! I loved to hear their responses as they went through the temple. Erik and I felt like it was one of the top experiences in our parenting. Kimmie started to sing "I love to see the Temple" as we started driving up the hill close to the temple. Johnny and Laura's kids joined in. I started to cry. Johnny liked the movie, the elevators, and the painting on the wall that Erik's old bishop did. The mural was
totally amazing. I hope that they have him do one at the Oquirrh Mountain temple. Kimmie loved the eternity mirrors and the baptismal font. She thought the whole thing was really cool.




Laura took some family photos of us while we were there. There are a couple of them that I absolutely love! I am posting the family 8x10 that she did and the B &W of the kids. I can't wait to have them all printed.
