Columbus Day Weekend 2009

Arizona was the destination of choice for Columbus Day!

The shopping put smiles on everyone's faces!!

Grandma and the Grandkids had a great time in the kitchen making caramel apple, cookies and other fall treats!

As you can see, Jacob enjoyed eating his treats :)

What a great smile!!

Latest Ultrasound

Our little girl is very shy! We had an Ultrasound on the 9th of October and once again she wouldn't show her face. She does however love sleeping on her tummy in a very tight fetal position.

We know she has a good genetic chance of being tall, but the ultra sound tech found it very interesting that her foot is the same length as her leg from the bottom of the knee to her ankle.

We are going to do one more ultrasound in about 5 weeks to hopefully see her face! Wish us luck :)

General Conference Weekend

Happy Conference Weekend!! Our family always celebrates this semi-annual event with a breakfast consisting of waffles & ice cream! This year we enjoyed a lot of good food all weekend long. Dadam made homemade salsa for chip and dip. We had a veggie tray, chicken enchiladas and beans, a sub sandwich, and who could forget the cowboy cookies and pizza!! Good thing we had two days to enjoy it all :)

Our little ones enjoying their ice cream and waffles and saying Happy Conference Day!!

We all made great use of the two hour breaks between sessions!

This is a picture of Jared and Adam changing the distributor cap and plugs on Jared's car!!

We had a wonderful time this conference weekend. Not only were we physically nourished, but spiritually as well. We are very blessed to have such inspired information given to us not once, but twice a year. While we were enjoying the final session of conference today we even got a call for someone to look at our home. We have truly been blessed this conference weekend!

Family Pinewood Derby

Dad helped the family create our pinewood car! Lil Adam thought it would be great if our car looked like Lightning McQueen. If you look on the cement you can see Dad's guide or point of reference for his project :)

Little Adam registering and weighing in Lightning McQueen! There were 70 cars registered for our race. Each car participated in 4 races.

This derby was the most official I have ever been to. They had a computerized track that kept racing times and created the competition brackets.

We loved watching our little car go...he just never made it all the way down the track!

Our family had a great time and Lil Adam was very proud of his Lightning McQueen :)

Happy Birthday Dadam!

The dinner was great -- 32 oz. porterhouse, béarnaise sauce, truffle cheese, loaded bake potato,and broccoli with cheese. Adam said "I think my next meal will be on Thanksgiving. "

Wow, how many candles are on that cake!!

Dad having fun with the kids singing!

Hugs for encouragement or fear of the house burning down :)

Way to put your hot air to good use!! Adam blew out all the candles but one, his son was happy to help out!

Adam, Addison, Alex and baby Berniger created a card for their Dad. When Hayden and Brinley arrived tonight they wanted to make Adam cards too. Great artwork guys!!

For Sale

It is official...our home is on the market. We are hoping that a loving family will see our home and want to make it their own.

The sign went up this morning and we are hoping that people will want to come and see. Spread the word :)

Addison's 2nd Year of Preschool

Addison returned to Preschool yesterday! She has been waking up every morning since Adam went back to school asking if it was her turn and yesterday was finally her day!!

She gladly posed for pictures at home before heading to class!

Her friend Hayden wrote her a letter and she took it to class to show Ms. Beth.

Addison and Ms. Beth after the first day of class!! Have a great year Addison, we love you and are proud of you :)
