Year End Catch Up!

So, as you can see the last six months have flown by and been so busy I have not kept our blog up to date. My goal this next year is to do better at keeping everyone updated on our lives and happenings. This post is a quick recap of the past six months. Here we go:

Charles played baseball again this summer. He loved it.

We spent many evenings at the baseball for practice and games.

We even had Bennett at the ball field at 10 days old.

Michelle started "big preschool". She goes 3 mornings a week.

Her teacher's name is Miss Terry.

Her son is in our ward and our home teacher.

Bennett continued to grow and bring us joy and laughter.

We made a quick trip to Utah and Idaho to take part Dena's sister Resa's wedding.

Resa is so happy and her new husband is great!!

A family trip to California over Fall Break.

This was a rescheduled trip that was supposed to happen over Spring Break.

We went to Disney.

We spent time playing at the beach.

After we had been playing at Newport Beach we found out there had

been a shark attack 5 miles up the beach from where we had been.

We spent lots of time in the pool, even in the rain.

Bennett even loved the water.

HALLOWEEN!

This year the whole family got involved with the football theme.

Michelle turned 5 and had three Hello Kitty birthday parties!!

Bennett grew again and started looking like a little boy and not a baby.

Thanksgiving at home in Castle Rock with a lucky quirk of Tadd and Resa joining us.

We were all supposed to go to Texas. Tadd and Resa's flight got canceled from

Utah to Denver. Once they got here Resa was sick and couldn't make the trip to Texas.

Missed our family but had fun.

We have been very blessed this year in so many ways. This is just a glimpse of the things we were able to do and accomplish. Hopefully you enjoyed this whirl wind as much as we did.
