Cathryn's Family at Sunriver, CA for Thanksgiving

We love seeing my family every year at the cabin. Spencer and Damian have gotten so tall, we all laugh because someone is always sleeping on the big red couch.

Seth and the kids at BYU game this fall

 

Seth took the three boys and Madison to Utah for a BYU game in Logan.
They stayed with Dustin and his wife and two children. Byu won the game and they had a great time.

They had hung a cow to reprsent that they would stomp the Utah state team!!

Daddy's favorite place to be a BYU game with his favorite people.

Dustin (the rival) with his son and our kids!! WE are still friends!!

Here is my sister Ann's family around the holidays last year!! We have so much fun every time we get to visit them. We look forward to the Cabin every thanksgiving when we all meet at Sunriver. The traditions that our family have started there have been a joy for everyone.
The girls are getting so big. Samantha is holding Ella and Sariah is the one smiling sooo cute!! Madison longs for a sister like this BUT she enjoys them two times a year!!
Baby Ella around 9 months!! So sweet.
Damien and Timmy are playing with Ella. What a joy Anns children are to her and to all who meet them.

Here he is the man of the hour!! This is Craig Morgan at the concert we went to in August. We all wore our cowboy stuff and drove over to the bay area for the county fair there. We had a great time, forgot our sweatshirts and froze to death. Little Seth and mom had a chocolate covered cheesecake that was to die for. Everyone loved the music. Especially Red Neck Yacht Club!!! Austin and Spencer bought t-shirts there. Austins says International Harvester and Spencer says Craig Morgan. Now the new CD is out and Daddy thinks he has to have it!!!
Spencer and dad trying to get close enough for a picture!! You can see Madi in her pink hat and Parker waving a wild hand!! There was a man who was so happy to be there he kept running up to the stage. Craig was laughing because he was a total spaz. Then Craig gave him a piece of his motorcycle at the end and the man just went nuts with happiness. He looked like a gangster so you never would have thought he loved country so much.

During one of the songs Daddy and the kids ran up close to the stage and we got a picture. You will notice Seth and Austin have their belts on with their pig and S on them.
It was a fun-filled family night and brought Daddy much joy to do somenthing he loved with his family. Kind of like the visa commercial (tickets$100.00 time with your kids PRICELESS!!!)

At the Craig Morgan concert. Spencer was having a great time watching the pig races!! His ticket color did not win!!
Parker was dancing down the aisle as we walked to the concert. It was so cute because he was in his own world as he danced with himself. We were really laughing behind him. Plus his rear is soooo cute in jeans!!
Madi and the animals. They had a kangaroo in here that the kids loved. I don't know what her field of animals will be but something!!
Parker and his hat. We gtruly like to pretend we are cowboys!!!

Spencer is such a mature 6th grader and makes life fun at every chance. When Spencer is given a rule he will obey it at all costs!
Seth is the fun smile as we all know! He is so excited about driving and has his heart set upon going to BYU for college. He is in the top ten of his class so he is well on his way. He is also very goofy around 8:00 at night and at Sunday lunches!!
This is Parkers first day of school. We went out to breakfast with his best friends and then took him to school. He walked right up and had no problems.
What kind of mother am I? I am sending my child to jail!!!

The summer has flown by and here we go for the first day of school!
Seth will be a sophmore, Austin a freshman, Spencer in 6th grade, Madison in
grade and Parker in kindergarten. My babies are getting so big! Literally!!
Austin and his hat, this is his pose for this facebook page. He is so cool with his hat and long hair!!!
Parker is such a bigh boy starting kindergarten. What a joy he is to our family. His teacher is Mrs. Ohm and his best friends Kate and Luke are in his class. Mom is so glad she waited that year to give him more time to mature. He really has grown up a ton!
Madison with her beautiful smile. She has Mr. Potts and is so excited, we have heard wonderful things about him as a teacher. She loves to read and play sports and piano.

Our little girl is getting so big and we love her so much and the fun she brings to life!!

Family Picture moment at Monterey!! Do you think this is a glimpse of Austins future? Meaning the size!!

Monterey is our favorite place to go for the beach and marine life! We treasure every time we get to escape!!

Daddy and Parker are having a great time catching things in the tidepool.

Parker is going to take away the sand monster!!

We were able to feed these squirells right out of our hands!!

Feeding the squirrells, they were so fun!!

Spencer looks like he is having so much fun freezing to death!!

The memories we have made with our children will always be priceless!! I love to watch them as they play and interact with each other. The time is flying by like a bird leaving for the south, but the pictures I have taken and collected will always be here to remind me of what we have accomplished as a family!!
