Barefoot Life Photography

A few people have commented on how much they like my header picture. So I thought I would shamelessly plug the photographer. Her name is Katie Butler and she is in my ward. She does a great job and we were so pleased with the pictures she took. So if you need a family picture (remember Pres. Monson said you should take one every year) you should give her a try. Her website is http://www.barefootlifephotography.com/. Check it out!

Ballerina Girl!

Eliza took ballet lessons this past year. At first she didn't want to even go in the class, but by the end she didn't want to leave. At Christmas time the school put on their version of The Nutcracker. It was very cute and not too long! Yay! Eliza was thrilled to be a gumdrop! She did a great job and was adorable in her tutu!

Before the Tutu!

A picture with the star of the show! Don't they look cute in the tutus!

Eliza and with her BFF, Whitney!

Winter Hot Tubbin and Saggy Swim Suits

The family went to visit our family friends last week. The Grown Ups were going out for sushi while the kids stayed home and had pizza! Well, of course all of our kids like sushi so they weren't very pleased with the plan. So we bribed them with some Winter Hot Tubbin! My kids were not prepared for the festivities, so they had to borrow some Hot Tubbin attire! Of course Olivia was fine, but this house is now without a toddler so no toddler sized suit! No matter we made do! Check out the saggy drawers! I love it!

Too Bad you weren't there to fully appreciate the saggy!

Love the poses girls!

A Very Fun Thanksgiving!

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving this year...we got to go to Hawaii!!! We have had this trip planned for a long time so we were very happy to finally be there! Sorry for the so many pictures. I promise I did edit. Can you tell Eliza isn't very happy here? She refused to walk on the sand...she thought crabs would get her. We thought Oh no this is going to be a long ten days... but I am happy to report she got over her crab fear!

We were driving along and noticed huge crowds on the beach so we pulled over to see what was going on and found these guys. They were huge!

Beautiful Hannama Bay...great snorkeling too.

We walked down to the bay but rode the tram back up. They charge 1 dollar for a ride down and 2 dollars for the ride back up.... hey wait a minute! Pretty smart thinking!

I guess you never get too old bury someone in the sand!

playing ancient Hawaiian games at the Poleneysian Cultural Center!

Ukulele Lessons!

That is a lot of prints!

How did I get such a babe of a husband?

That was GOOD ice cream!

This is what we did after we had our turkey!

Those of you who know me and David can tell who Olivia takes after! Not me!!!

David just finished body surfing off his pumpkin pie....not like he needs to!

Ok so I love these shoes...we all have a pair, and when I found them in Eliza's size I had to get her a pair!

We had a great time! David and I decided that next we are going, we're going sans kids! Sorry guys!

She's finally out of the Crib and in a Big Girl Bed!

Now if we can get rid of the "binkie"!

Catching Up!

Wow it has been a long while, so please forgive me! So here are a few things we have been up too. I have to say also that they aren't in chronological order! Sorry!

Olivia turns 12! She love candy corn and her birthday is days before Halloween so that always works out to her advantage!

Birthday Breakfast!

Grandma and Eliza working on the cake!

12 is a super big deal....you get to wear make-up! (in limited amounts of course!)

Can you tell this is what she truly wanted....a pink camerea, it had to be pink!

Firguring out the new toy...

How better to finish a great day but with Olivia's favorate...white cake with straberries and cream.

Preschool art door! This is Eliza's first year of school and she has been very prolific with her projects!

Cute boy going off to a dance! Love the PINK shirt! I had to add this one!
