Kiersten turns 9!!!

She had a weekend full of Parties!!!

A total of three to be exact! Starting with a party with the Emmett clan and then moving on to the Marecle brood and finshing off with a quiet birthday night with Mom, Dad, and Aubrey.

It was a ton of fun.

The time sure flies when you have a ton of things going on in life.

These are a couple of pictures of Aubrey at her Kindergarten Circus. She was a seal. There were four other seals with her. They sang a few songs and did some tricks for the audience. It was sure fun to be able to go and watch her. I was able to go into the classroom early and help everyone get ready. All of the kids were dressed up as different circus animals or people. There were tight rope walkers, lions, bears and a lot more. It was a ton of fun.

We adopted!!! (well kinda)

We got a black lab, her name is Ellie, from a friend of Eric's. She is nine months old and a great dog. She has been to obedience school and seems to have caught on to it pretty good. Eric is excited to train her to be his "duck hunting" dog. She is definetly not the "lap" dog that I was hoping for, but that is ok.

All of the GRANDKIDS!!! (Almost)

Grammie made of the her grandkids Christmas P.J.'s. (Jace came a little sooner than expected so Grammie didn't have time to make any for him.) They looked so cute in them.

The girls were "Who's" in "Whoville" this December. Our ward put on "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" play. They had three perfomances. It was a lot of fun. Kiersten discovered a new thing in life that she loved to do. We spent about six weeks going to play practice at night and on Saturdays, which was a little tiring for them sometimes, but was worth it in the end.
