7 Months Already

Pics of our Peanut! She is the sweetest baby. We all love her so much and still can't believe she's ours and we get to keep her. Her little personality is coming out and it's so fun. She's amazing. She and Max are two peas in a pod, they can't stand to be away from each other. It's cute when he gets home from school, they give each other the BIGGEST hugs. I love it!

For JULIE!!


Raspberry Cheesecake


Crust: 12 graham crackers crushed
1/4 c brown sugar
6 T melted butter
Mix and press in to 9x13 pan. Bake at 350* for 8 - 10 min.


1st layer: Mix 1 1/2 c powdered sugar and 1 1/2 8 oz. packages cream cheese, softened, until smooth. Then fold in 8oz cool whip. Spread on cooled crust. Refrigerate.


Top: Mix 1 c. sugar and 3 T corn starch in saucepan. Using juice from thawed berries measure juice and add enough water to equal 1c. total.(It calls for water but I like it with the juice, it doesn't set as firm with the juice) Add to pan and cook until slightly thickened. Add 1 3oz package of raspberry jello, stir until dissolved. Add 4 cups(approx) of thawed berries to mixture and gently spoon over filling. Refrigerate until set.

ENJOY!!!

Happy Anniversary


Yesterday was our 12th anniversary. We had a great day. I'm almost glad that it was on Sunday because we spent the whole day together, all 4 of us. We watched Christmas movies, ate junk and napped all day(after church;)). It was great! Here are some pictures of our
SPECIAL DAY!
NOVEMBER 9, 1996
Boise Idaho Temple

With our parents. We ALL look so young.
I'm thankful they were all there!
All our family and friends at the Temple

We look like babies



It's funny but probably normal, I know I love him even MORE than I did at this time. It's funny how LOVE grows and changes. Scott is my best friend. OH how I love him and all he does for ME and OUR children. We've had our share of trials in our short 12 years and come out closer and stronger. I know that we are blessed each and every day. I pray that we can celebrate many, MANY more years TOGETHER!!!!

October Fun and randomness

First things first....
Another TASTY RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE
(Julie, I remember you want the recipe, Just keep bugging me ;))

New calling for SCOTT.
For the last 7 years he has worked with the youth in one way or another but was recently released, we teared up a bit.
He is now a TEACHER in the High Priest Group.
This is Scott, Max and the boys for one last activity
We STILL have these STINKIN' pigs, UGH!
Just had to add the CUTENESS
And the CARROTS, Oh the CARROTS!!
We grew about a MILLION carrots in our garden.
It was insane but the sisters came over and we peeled, sliced, diced, blanched and froze all 1 MILLION of them! It was actually fun!

Here is Laney enjoying the bounty


Our lovely ORANGE fingers...
It took days for them to fade...
Sarah thought this was HILARIOUS!
It's very unfortunate but this carrot REALLY does look like her FIL's thumb, So sorry Rulan!
The THUMB!!
The END product.

Every conference we make these SUPER YUMMY
CARAMEL ROLLS!!
They are DELICIOUS!!
MAX being a silly deer...
Mom, now I'm a moose, take another picture....
Caramel apples... More yummy food....
The whole gang was helping.
Aren't they SO CUTE!

SCRUMPTIOUS!

Alaina grows and grows

Here she is in ALL her GLORY! Isn't she BEAUTIFUL!!! We had a check-up at the doctors today. Here are the stats on this beauty.

Oh yeah, and 6 teeth!!
Here she is, stunning in purple!

Check her out, she SITS!!

Her FAVORITE MOM!
FAVORITE BROTHER
FAVORITE DADDY
I had some issues getting her to sleep. We figured out this little trick when I was getting ready to leave to get Max one afternoon. I was going to leave early so I got her all strapped into the car seat and then when we were walking out the door I decided to change the laundry. LO and BEHOLD she fell asleep within seconds of turning on the dryer. I'd heard of that but I am a BELIEVER now!
PRECIOUS
I am so thankful for this precious little girl. She is such a treasure to have in our home. We had no idea what we were missing. Thank you, Thank you!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I know I'm late but I had to share our fun times and cute pictures from Halloween.
First, we carved the pumpkins.
Max was all in until...

He had to get the guts out! GROSSSSSSS! Doesn't he look happy!

The 'uninterested baby!! She had fun it just doesn't show!

The final projects. They turned out awesome. To bad later that night they were pig food...

Then, it was off to Grammy's house for chili and homemade donuts. It was all super tastey!

Next, off to the Trunk - or - Treat! The costumes looked great and they fit!

Alaina didn't last long but didn't she look adorable!!

SpiderMax waiting patiently for the TOT to start...

Finally, after the TOT we went to The Richardsons and did real trick or treating. It was alot of fun. All the 'babies' were pumpkins this year. We had to get this cute picture of our three little pumpkins all in a row. SO sweet!

Finally, back home to our sweet, sweet beds!!!
