Christmas Decorations

James was in charge of decorating the tree this year. He decided that when he found the Yoda tree angel.

Halloween!

Karen and I always match our costumes each year. This year we picked Star Trek. Since she was Spock I didn't let her smile. Everyone loved the costumes. We even had to pose for pictures!

Fall Fun

Here are some pictures I took of Jon, Jami, Allie, and Regan. Enjoy!

Nap Time

Miss Kitty and James taking a nap. Cute!

Zoo babies

The zoo has had some new babies this fall. We have a new baby elephant, a baby giraffe, a baby snow leopard, and 3 baby tigers. They are the cutiest things! Here are some pictures I took of them.

The giraffe and elephant were only 1 month old when the pictures were taken. The snow leopard and the tigers were a couple of months old.

Weekend in Idaho

We spend the weekend with Allie and Regan while Jon and Jami went to Nevada for a wedding. It was a lot of fun. We spent time at the Discovery Center, went to a park, and James and Allie made some robots.

Family Pictures!!

Elder Family Photos. I took these photos at Murray Park. I think they turned out ok. I did have to do some photo-shop stuff, but for the most part, the pictures turned out fine.

Pioneer Day--July 24th

We had a pizza party. The first picture is James' sister, Melissa, with her two kids McKayla (lf) and Jordan (rt). James' dad slept through most of the celebration.

We played darts, had an egg relay race (James' mom shown above), and of course, did some fireworks.

The following video was taken at our Southern Utah Trip. There was a zip-line that all of us went down. This video is funny, not just because Jami was screaming the whole time, but because of how Regan reacted. Keep watching the video. Regan is at the end!

This is the whole family. Top: Jami w/Barrett, Jon w/Regan, Becky, Mom, Dad, Sherod, Shelley.

We spent the weekend at Jon's old mission companion's cabin. The cabin is 15 minutes from Zion. It was pretty fun!

The pool table was a popular event. James had fun, but he lost a game to Abbie, who is 4 years old.

Boating on the pond was fun too.

The kids enjoyed swimming, but it was really cold!

We went fossil hunting. Becky actually found one!

Of course, the best part was the horses. I am with Regan in this picture. Later some of the adults went on another ride.

Fishing at Smith and Moorehouse

This was our first fishing trip of the year. We didn't catch a lot of fish, but we did catch a lot of moss!

We found these bobbers in the tree. We thought it was pretty funny that there were two of them on the same limb!

This is a picture of the moon that Becky took in between "catching" all those fish!

Photoshop Fun

Becky is getting in to photoshop. This picture was taken at the Hogle Zoo with a telephoto lens. Becky deleted the chain link cage that was around this Big Horn Sheep with Photoshop.

Our lovely Miss Kitty

This is our pride and joy, our cat, Miss Kitty. Since we can't brag about kids (like other people), we get to brag about her. James has been training her to not get on the table. She doesn't do it anymore! Except when James is not in the room. :-)

Fun in San Fransisco!!

We spent some time in San Fransisco in April. It was a lot of fun. This is the only picture of us together that we asked someone else to take. The rest of our together pictures were taken by James with his arm held out!
