Temple trips! 2009

Cydney went to the temple for the first time in 2009. The first two times she tried to go with the ward they got cancelled because of the weather. Doug decided to take her to Utah and go with her. Grandma Chapman went too! It was really cool. Jaxon and Taylor went with the young men to Salt Lake to go to visit temple square. It was a fun weekend. The young men in Fruita 3rd ward are really great boys. The leaders are awesome too! The Palmers and the Bishop boys are really good to Taylor. Bishop Standifird came as well as many other young men.

Doug turns 40! December 2009

We had a 40th birthday party for Doug. Many good friends came to help us celebrate. The Keiths, Steglmeirs, Quarnbergs, Kohls, Nelsons, Gibbs, Sacketts, Cases and the Bairs. I hope I didn't forget anyone. They all brought gag gifts adding up to the number 40.

Halloween 2009

We love Halloween. This year was our first year with our dog Brett.

Jammie, my sweet niece got married in the Salt Lake Temple this year. She is a really good example to my kids especially Cydney. We are so happy for her and proud of her. It was a great party too!

Rimrock Marathon 2010

Michelle ran the Rimrock Marathon again this last year(November2010). It was beautiful weather this year. It was so fun to run with friends Suzy, Carla, Heidi, and Darren(as seen in picture), but many others. My kids came and cheered me on. You'd think they'd get sick of it!

Taylor is 17

Taylor is also growing up. He still get's tired and fell asleep in his Halloween costume on the couch. So cute! He'll always be my little boy. Taylor loves to go bowling. This is Taylor in Mesa Verde on our family vacation this year(march 2011). Taylor went to a prom for special needs kids this year. He loved it. He was able to ride in a limo and get pictures with his friends. Taylor loves our dog Brett.

Paityn, our tall little princess!

Paityn's first real trip to Disneyland. As you can see she is our little princess. She started taking dance and playing soccer. You might have noticed that she is very tall. Yes those girls are her age. She also started preschool. This is a picture of her at a field trip to the pumpkin patch in October of 2010.
