Fall Family Portraits

Total Eclipse of the Heart

I love this song, but I really love this video! My mother-in-law told me about this video. I can't believe how random the original video is. These words really fit much better.

PUNK PURPLE!!!!

It is Jetta's birthday and this little girl wanted a punk purple birthday everything. Punk purple all began when I was looking at fingernail polish on the e.l.f. makeup website. I saw a purple polish I really liked and read the name out loud with some excitement in my voice. Ever since then when Jetta sees purple it is no ordinary purple it is PUNK PURPLE exclaimed in such excitement. So here are some pics of our punk purple birthday.

Cha cha cha changes

Hello all, so much to catch up on........

1. Christmas was great! Some fun pics of the kidos





2. New Year's was fabulous. I don't believe in new year's resolutions so I made no goals.....
3. Some family photos



4. Pete at one month

5. Peter's blessing


6. Pete is almost 3 months and is a sturdy 12.5 lbs. and 26 inches long. I say sturdy because he is not a total fatty, just solid.
7. Henry met his Kindergarten teacher.
8. Jetta cut her hair again. :-)
9. I have been reorganizing our primary. Ward boundaries changed and with that comes a lot of change and organizing.
10. We are moving to a house. Renting, but it is a house and it comes with a huge yard!!! If you would like our new address let me know and I will email or mail one to you. Pictures of the house to come. It needs so much work, but hey what fun would moving into a perfect house be???!! Ha Ha...

The Cut

I have now been initiated into the "my child just cut their own hair" club. No, I was not mad. It is a right of passage that is bound to happen to every mother of a daughter. Yes, I cried. We have been trying to grow Jetta's hair for 2 1/2 years now and it was looking so cute. When I saw the damage I kindly took the scissors out of her hand and reminded her we only cut paper but she looked so great that we needed to take a picture. What would getting mad accomplish? I quickly turned around and left the room to have a good cry and laugh and then grabbed the camera to capture these for your viewing pleasure. I did my best to fix the damage but it will take a few more months to get it looking decent. Oh well, I love you Jetta. You always keep my life spicy.

RANCOR

What do you do when your soon to be 5 year old son wants this and only this for his birthday?




You call your mother and mother-in-law for advise. When they give the all clear you proceed with caution.




Happy birthday buddy, we love you very much!

New pics of Pete

All I have time to say is we are doing well. The kids had a great Halloween! They loved having Nanna (my mom) in town, and they are enjoying have Mumsy (Dave's mom) in town. We got a little over 2 feet of snow here and had a great time playing! Pete is doing well and is very smothered by all of us loving him!
