Light stick fun!

We have been doing a babysitting co-op with 3 other families: The Knights, the Howards, and the Buhrs. It was our turn on Saturday and this is just some of the fun we had! We turned off the lights in the basement and let them go crazy with light sticks-and then Dave lined them up and would toss them the football as they jumped off the tramp into the love sacs. I think everyone had a good time! (Regan wasn't old enough to play, but she was an angel the whole time) It was some crazy fun!

WHICH TO CHOOSE

I NEED YOUR HELP. THE POLAR EXPRESS IS HAVING A PHOTO CONTEST WITH A REALLY COOL PRIZE WITH SEVERAL WINNERS. I NEED YOU TO TELL ME WHICH OF THE PHOTO'S YOU THINK I SHOULD ENTER. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

POLAR EXPRESS

The POLAR EXPRESS with the Palmer Family

One of the reasons we love hotels, is because we can JUMP ON THE BEDS! Just a few of the action shots......

THIS WEEKEND WE WENT TO WILLIAMS, AZ (JUST OUTSIDE OF FLAGSTAFF). MY PARENT'S CHRISTMAS PRESENT TO ALL OF US WAS TICKETS TO THE POLAR EXPRESS and A NIGHT IN A HOTEL. WE HAD FUN JUMPING ON THE BEDS, SWIMMING IN THE INDOOR POOL, AND JUST BEING TOGETHER. THANKS AGAIN MOM AND DAD- THE KIDS HAD THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES AND IT WAS SO GOOD BEING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY. ENJOY THE PICS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!

FAMILY PHOTOS BY LEAH DAVIS

Leah Davis took our family photo's (see her site from our link) she did AMAZING. She really did a great job of making the kids (and Dave) smile. We would TOTALLY recommend her. These are just a preview-more to come after she edits everything & sends us the CD! We love you LEAH!

FALL IN THE GILA VALLEY & MOLLI'S WEDDING

ON October 17TH MOLLI AND TYLER WERE MARRIED IN THE MESA ARIZONA TEMPLE. THEY ARE THE BEST AND IT WILL BE SO MUCH FUN TO HAVE ANOTHER GREAT COUPLE IN THE LARSON FAMILY. WE LOVE THEM! (Sorry there are no pics with Tyler-we were in all of the ones he was! Will post more later!)

ALSO WE HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VIEW FROM OUR HOME OF THE COTTON, AND TONIGHT THEY WERE PICKIN' THE COTTON AS THE SUN WAS SETTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. WE HAD TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE PHOTO OP.

Mission Reunion and General Conference

Mckay and I went up to a mission reunion, first one since the mission, and then to conference. It was amazing. The missionaries and the Hamiltons played such an important role in my life and it was so great seeing them. I also loved going to conference and seeing the excitement on Mckay's face to see the prophet. I asked him if he felt it and he said yes, I felt it right here (pointing to his chest). I know Pres. Monson is a true Prophet.

This video is of one of my comps-he would do this in the mirror every day on the mission! It was so much fun to get him to do it again for me!
