Daddy's Girls

When we left for Utah to visit cousins (again...), Mike stayed behind for a couple days of work and to prepare for a week away for study. As you can see his girls weren't looking forward to that time (gotta love Rachel).

Dad talked them into a smile for him so that they will be able to see him everyday while he is gone =)

Dad is the pro at bedtime rituals....Mom is not so patient.

Yes, it will be a long week for me.... We love you DADDY!!

Crazy Cousins

Samantha had a Friday off of school a couple weeks ago, so we scheduled a road trip!! Mike was able to go snowboarding with his brother @ the Canyons. Mom and the kids got a day (or two) enjoying playing with cousins. Also the first time the little cousins got to meet. George was born the end of October, Owen the first of December. Too cute.

Samantha enjoying a kid she can carry without ALL of her strength. Cousin Owen.

Photo Shoot

We had an after church photo shoot a few weeks ago. George could never be the only one to take part. Gotta love our crazy kids. We think they are pretty darn cute. Photos taken when George was almost four months old.
