Stuff

We have been really, really, really busy around here as of late! We had my birthday, Audrey's birthday, our anniversary (6 years), and Christmas. We also moved into a rental home about a week ago. We are settling in nicely. We have had a wonderful Christmas! Here are a few of the fun things we have experienced the last couple of months.

Audrey and Mulan

Lincoln and ELMO!

Kids driving with the dinosaurs

Light show at Disney

Still at the Christmas house... Loved the tree in the Nativity ;)

Carousel fun!

New kid's table

Merry Christmas! We love you all!

Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year. Audrey is old enough now to understand what is going on. It has made the season that much more fun!


Special pumpkin carver/helper , Aunt Molly.


Audrey's template on the pumpkin (we cut it out the best we could). 


The final pumpkin product!


Lincoln loved his costume. He thought it was a dog. Hehehe!


Audrey as Cinderella. She is also showing off her spider craft we made.



Ward chili cook off/trunk-or-treat


In other random news....Audrey loves carousels

Lincoln loves spinning teacups

Audrey's new Barbie house. Someone gave this monster to us. I love the sheer bliss on Audrey's face in this picture and I had to share...

My cute little hat boy.


In other news, if you didn't know, we are moving into a house in mid December. We are really excited about it! It will be great having a better environment for our kids to play in!

Tim is continuing to muck his way through school. It has been a long, hard road. We are grateful for all of your prayers and know that they have helped us keep going. He is doing well in the classroom setting and continuing to do more in the clinical setting. We know that we have been very blessed!

Moving to Florida, has been a faith building experience for us. When all is said and done, we will be better for it. We have experienced things we never would have otherwise. It has been refreshing to live outside the "Mormon bubble" and see how other people live. It has really opened my eyes to missionary work. Everyone needs the gospel in their lives whether they know it or not! I get to have missionary moments almost every day. That has been a lot of fun for me!

Anyways, enough rambling from me... I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

It has been awhile...

Life has been busy and good in Florida. The kids are thriving. Tim is doing great in school. I am keeping busy with the kids and church.

We have been amazed at the hand of the Lord in our lives since we have moved here. We have been very blessed!
We have been exploring the Orlando area lately, and trying to take advantage of all the things to do here. There is so much to do and see I don't thing we'll ever see it all. That being said, we have really enjoyed the things we have done.

We recently went to Disney World and had a wonderful time! Can't wait to go back again and again and again (I may have had a better time than the kids)!

We got to meet Cookie monster! 

A really funny mime!


Audrey taking a few minutes to squeeze some reading in.

Uncle E and Molly going on a ride with Audrey. (She still talks about it).


A killer drum solo (killer to my ears that is...hardy, har, har)


Beauty and the Beast Play


Cinderella's Castle



Goofy Statue

Captain Jack Sparrow



Brother and Sister HOT and having fun!


Fun Halloweem decorations

Lincoln wandered his way into his laundry basket and got stuck...ha ha ha.

Yum Yum Yum


I bought some Georgia peaches directly from an orchard this year. They are the yummiest peaches I have ever tasted! Those things you buy at the store that are called "peaches" are in fact not REAL peaches, but nasty alternatives to the real thing. I am in LOVE! I will be making some jam today and eating peaches all day long.  It will be a good day!

The latest...

The kids are doing great! We have been having lots of fun. Audrey has gotten really funny lately.  Lincoln has found his mischievous side and likes to terrorize his sister. Life is always an adventure at our house!

Audrey Rockin' Out

Reading the funnies and enjoying a snack

New swimming goggles

Bear latch-hook rug I just finished for kids' room
We went to this park and had a FUN time! The alligator is a building with a gift shop inside. This little hole in the wall place ended up being a great spot for seeing gators. Audrey was really brave and held a baby alligator and snake.

World's Largest Alligator- he he he
Picture of the swamp. The green stuff on the water is called Duckweed.

Safari Todd feeding the gators.

We went on the JUNGLE SWAMP CRUISE!


The kids love to play with the keyboard.


That's right! Lincoln is walking. :)


I was doing laundry the other day and I came into my room to find Audrey "jumping for joying."

Tim is doing good with his schooling. He is enjoying the content and his clinical experiences. Just have to make it through the class work part. He starts finals next week. We are so excited to have another semester completed!

Lincoln celebrated his first birthday last week. Can't believe how fast this last year has gone! He is our little angel boy. He is always smiling and happy. We love him dearly!
