Lauritzen Gardens

I wanted to get some cute pictures of the kids, but it was hard to get them to look at the camera and smile at the same time!










Pictures with Santa!!

Isn't that an awesome background for Santa pictures? So pretty!

Snow!

The kids were so excited to wake up yesterday morning to find that there was snow on the ground! Riley kept telling us that it was Christmas time and that she was so excited!

Ryan was pretty excited to play in the snow at first, until he realized how cold it was! He played for a few minutes, but then he wanted to go back inside the house. He watched Riley playing from the window and he soon decided that he wanted to go back outside to play.

Riley was happy that Ryan decided to come back outside to play!

Throwing snow balls!

Having fun with Daddy!

Here's Ryan trying to throw a snow ball at Riley

Riley decided she wanted to throw a snow ball at me!

They had so much fun!

Black Friday

I was a little nervous about going to the mall on one of the busiest shopping days of the year, but it turned out that the mall wasn't even that busy!

The kids love going to Barnes and Noble to play with the trains....

I had to put Riley in time-out for not sharing

After a few minutes in time-out, Riley decided that sharing would more fun than sitting and watching

We always have to stop and let the kids play on the playground. This is Ryan's favorite part of going to the mall.

Santa!

The kids were so excited to see Santa there! I wasn't sure if Ryan would actually go sit with him, but after seeing Riley sitting with Santa, he decided it would be ok.

Zoo!

Here are some pictures from our trip to the zoo this week. It was really cold, but we still had a fun time!

Some pics from Utah...a little late!

So it's a little late, but I still wanted to put up some pictures from our trip to Utah last month.






We had to get all the cousins together in their Halloween costumes. They all looked so cute!





I love this picture of my mom and Cam. So cute!








So, hopefully Riley won't be expecting 3 different birthday parties every year! While we were in Utah we had Riley's third 4th Birthday Party (does that make sense?)!

Here's a picture of Megan making everyone laugh

--Photo Tag--

Here is another tag...
The rules: Go to your picture files. Pick the 4th file, and the 4th picture in it. Tell a little about the picture. Tag 4 friends.


This is a picture of Casey's brother, Chris and his wife Alice and their cute kids. I'm not sure when this picture was taken...summer 2007 I think. It was taken in Sanford Colorado at Casey's parents' house.


I tag Becca, Mal, Dad, and Becky! Have fun!

Halloween!

Here are a couple of videos from the ward Halloween party:

Ryan liked to jump and flap his wings

Riley's favorite game was the bean bag toss
