We're having fun with Joe home for Christmas, we missed him last year. He makes everything fun.

Natalie and Wilford are 6 and Danny is a balloon head

"Kitty" was the theme of Natalies gifts.

Danny was very supportive.

We had a party with all the friends at a jumping/play place the night before their actual Birthday. Wil was a ham, he's usually more reserved.

Thanksgiving 2010

We kept it simple this year and had a nice family meal and day together. This other picture is from Wil and Nat's Kindergarten Thanksgiving program and feast.

Pregnancy pictures

Mom wanted to see some pictures of me pregnant. I'm 23 weeks here. I feel a lot bigger with this one. We still cant believe another baby is coming!

Halloween 2010

Kindergarten costume parade. Danny was allowed to join the parade with Wil and Natalie's class. He was Robbin Hood, Wil was a transformer, and Natalie was a vampire with purple teeth. Purple vampire teeth are hard to find.

On our way to the church for Trunk or Treat!

I got a little carried away with her face paint.

Danny is now half iron man, half transformer. He almost went as Iron Hood.

Wil lost his first tooth

Wil lost his first tooth a few weeks ago. It fell out while he was asleep and we couldn't find the tooth, so Wil wrote a letter to the Tooth Fairy explaining the situation. "DER TUF FARE, MY TUF KAM OT BUT I CANT FIND IT. FROM WIL." He put the letter under his pillow and was thrilled to find money there the next morning.

Danny's 4th Birthday

We had a few friends over, cake, ice cream, pizza and a lot of gifts. Danny loved all the balloons. He was so sweet...after his friends went home and we settled down for bed time he gave Wil and Natalie some of his Birthday money he had received in the mail from different Grandmas and Pas. I told him he didn't have to share his money but he said "well now they can go get a new toy at the store too."

New Birthday PJ's

Summer 2010 Utah/Colorado trip

Lake city Colorado, Mom and Dad off for a ride in the mountains.

We stayed in a Cabin in Lake City with fishing right outside our door.

My good friend from Colorado Springs, Kelly and her 2 kids were there too.

Utah cousins, the Hess family backyard

Back to Lake City, that's the way we do things.

Down town Lake City.

more fishing

We went to Kanosh Ut for Pioneer day. Joe was able to say hello to many friends he hadn't seen for a long time. This is Ryan Higgs. He and Joe were "BFF" back in the day...according to Joe.

We're proud to say our kids kept up with all the Kanosh kids in the races and games.

Joe and I were able to get away to Park City Ut without the kids! Grandma and Grandpa Watson showed them a great time while we were out hiking, eating, and laying by the pool.
