We also love to go caroling at the hospital, where we hope to cheer up the sick who are unable to be home at Christmas.

It's a tight squeeze to try and fit all of Santa's elves in one elevator!

Most of the patients get a kick out of our visits. Our little elves can put out a lot of charm! :)

Kyle's 5th birthday, Dec.18

Kyle got a new bike for his birthday! He calls it his new "racing, jumping" bike!

Kyle invited some of his little buddies over to have cake and ice cream with the family. We had a fun party!

Thanksgiving in Idaho Falls with Cynthia's family

The boys went Pheasant hunting Thanksgiving morning. Unfortunately they didn't shoot quite enough birds to feed the whole lot of us, so we had to settle for the traditional turkey dinner! ;)
From left to right: Cody (Beth's husband), Ray(Cyn's bro), and Brandon & the boys.
Here are the kiddies sitting at the "kiddie table" for the big feast!

On Friday we went up to our cabin in Island Park. The dads took the kids ice fishing while the moms stayed home with the babies. It was only 3 degrees outside so we made sure they were bundled up warm!
Here's Kyle with uncle Cody, learning the tricks of the trade.

Here's uncle Ray with his prize catch! They came home with a total of 7 beautiful trout, all at least this big!

Here's the gang enjoying the yummy fish we had for dinner that night! It sure is fun being with the people you love!

Re-doing our kitchen cabinets

We have been wanting to re-do our kitchen cabinets since the day we moved in (4 years ago). A few days ago Brandon decided that now is the time! I had no idea what a project it would be! I'm so glad Brandon is such a "handy man!" It would have cost us > $10,000 to have them professionaly done! Brandon promises to have them done by Easter! ;)

Kevin on his "harley" at just 3 yrs old!

Kevin just learned how to ride a 2 wheeler (without training wheels)! He wants so bad to keep up with his older brother Kyle! He actually does a pretty good job of it! I'm so glad they are such good buddies!

Halloween 2007

Here are the kiddies! Kevin is on the left dressed as a pirate, Kelsey is in the middle, dressed as a giraffe, and Kyle is of course BATMAN!
