Bringing on 2008!!




A New Year--2008!! And we have snow piled 9 feet high out here! Toby makes the best horsie but I give the best hugs!
















Kristi turns the big 30! Some friends come mourn with her over food, of course!



A leftover Christmas Picture . . I really meant to put it in the previous post but here we are in our jammies!

Christmas Festivities 2007


It was really fun to see everyone at Christmas. Here are some of the Pics I snapped:



Thanks to Travis for bringing the "Fo Wheelor". Tyler wouldn't let us off those things! Whenever we put his snow clothes on now he yells "Fo Wheelo"!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!!

Happy Holidays to everyone! I took way too much time figuring out our new camera and how to upload video--so this is what you get instead of Christmas cards this year! What a busy, fun year it was for us!! Here's to a new one, 2008!!


We had a fun time visiting Grampa and Grama Davis for Thanksgiving. Sorry this video got cut short! Just Click the "Play" Triangle to Watch.

(Scroll down the page to see the video of Tyler on the 4 wheeler NOT loving their cats.)

Post-Turkey Day

VISIT TO IDAHO
First, the brothers . . .
Here's Trav, doing what he does best. .



And the morph of Tate as he turns into Dad . .





Theres all the kids gleefully opening their early Christmas gift exchanges.



And, then the adults stuffed and happy around a card game in which the competition is severe, as usual. (I think this game in particular got a bit heated, but I missed the action unfortunately!!)

VISIT TO TEMPLE SQUARE

Its funny to hear what Tyler "sees" and the urgent request Kaden has made and is pouting about . . .

(Sorry to Grampa & Grama Hansen & Aunt Chelsi, Uncle Jeff . . the poor camera man failed to film your heads!!)

While Dad was Tending . . .

TYLER DECIDED TO TAKE A SWIM IN HIS JAMMIES!!
