Clogging Competition - Nampa

Analise had her first clogging competition today.  Her team name is the "Dazzlers".  She and the other girls did a wonderful job.  Analise is on the far left to begin with.  (This is a large file, so it may take a little while before you see it.)

School Pictures 2010

The girls got their pictures taken at school.  They turned out pretty well.  Our little girls aren't so little any more.

Halloween 2010

We had a three-ward trunk-or-treating event at the church last night.  Sage dressed up as Artemis and Lise was Cleopatra.  Brenden and Ella Rowley joined us for the evening as well.

Christopher "Officially" out of Air Force

Well, after 11+ years in the Air Force, 3 moves, 5 deployments, Chris has finally seperated.  It has and will continue to be an adjustment for us all, but hopefully the pros with outnumber the cons.  He is currently enrolled at BSU in some accounting classes.  He stopped working a couple of months ago, but his last day was the 11th. We are very proud of him and grateful for his willingness to serve and protect America.  So, here's to many happy and healthy years out of the military :)  We love you, Christopher!!

Analise had a birthday

Amidst everything that has been going on, Analise turned 10.  She had a really fun party at the YMCA.  It has a huge water facility as well as a climbing wall.  She was so excited to invite her cousins this year!!  She almost had a cousins only party, but in the end she invited some new friends from school and church.  I have some really bad pictures, (should have taken the big camera)  but we still had a good time and hope everyone else did as well.

Our Turkish Clarinet Player

Sage is in the 6th grade Band.  She has been learning to play the clarinet - this is her practicing (she had just gotten out of the shower - hence the towel turban)  She does really well, and is most the time excited to practice.  She was recently chosen 1st chair.
