Mitchell gets some snow out of his glove.

 
Parker throwing snow at Mitchell.

Family laying around on Christmas.

Isobel's (my brother's daughter) 3rd b-day at Chuck E. Cheese.

Zach is rolling up into a Baby Burrito while we are in St. George watching Parker's soccer tournament.

In September Amy and I went on a hot air balloon ride.

This is from during the summer. Parker receives a 1st place medal from a tournament.

This is from last Christmas 2005. Parker makes Arianna laugh.

A little video of Mitchell doing his "Basic Number 2" form to earn his orange belt. He is in the front row, middle.

Everybody enjoying a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner.

Mom hangs out with Sebastian (getting stinky feet head from sleeping Adam) 

 
Zach is a baby burrito, and apparently upset by it.

Parker got invited to be guest player for team called Czech Republic (I don't know why this is their name) We went down to St. George after Thanksgiving dinner and stayed until Saturday. It was a lot colder than I expected it to be but our hotel was nice with a heated pool and we had a good time.

They took 2nd place because the team they played in the finals kept fouling them in the box (Parker got pretty hurt) and the referees wouldn't call it. We lost 1-0.

Mitchell played with the girls of another family and had a great time on the hill we always sat on.

Mark watches intently.

We took a lot of pictures of Zach trying to get the perfect one.

Zach was not happy about going with the family over Thanksgiving break, but he really came around and had a good time.

I was there too.

Mitch being forced to smile.

It was pretty cold there. Here is Zach being a "baby burrito" and Mitchell wanting a turn.

We were on a field attached to Dixie stadium. Zach and Mitch liked to climb to the top and try to spit into a garbage can down below (I found out later)

The boys wait in line to see Santa at the mall with Grandma.

Mitchell would not have any of this mall Santa. He said he would just wait until he saw Santa at church, and talk to him there. He would not even come near the mall Santa even for a picture.

Parker, cousin Chloe, Santa, cousin Victoria, Zach all have a nice chat with Santa.

And then we all ate some icecream and everybody was happy.

Mitchell took the test for his orange belt. He was very excited to get it.

Parker sitting at his desk on Halloween.

Parker enjoying his candy. You can see the remnants of his "black eye" and "wound".

Mitchell, a cheetah this year--although he really hated the hood because of the ears--with all this candy.

Zach and his friend Chris did the shed with Mark this year. Chris laid in a coffin and Zach had this clown stabbing him.

Mark in full make-up for the annual Shed Of Horrors.

Mitchell in the school parade.

Parker in the school Halloween parade. He is in a soccer outfit. When we went trick-or-treating he had a black eye and a wound on his cheek.

Mitchell's kindergarten class on Halloween.

Parker wanted a soccer pumpkin. Big surprise.

Sebastian worn out from his party.

This is how Amy showed her extreme pleasure that the b-day party for her kids was over.

Chloe and Mitchell give Victoria a make-over.

Victoria is "Baby Nacho"

Zach's costume.

Zach at his first band recital. We couldn't get any of him actually playing because he was way in the back.

Mitchell in his completed cheetah costume.

Parker coming out of school with some friends.

Zach, in bad need of a haircut, on the computer.

Close up of Mitchell.

Zach and Mitchell hanging out.

Parker looking studly.

We just returned from a cruise! Here is Mark on the shuttle on the way to the port. We went on Carnival Elation and had a great time. We went to the Eastern Carribean and had 4 Ports we visted. Mom and Dad watched to boys for us and Amy helped. We were so lucky to be able to do this with the help of my family.

Mark got to hold my bag, he really got to start this vacation out in style. We walked all around the ship before our rooms were ready. It was smallish ship, but it was big enough to get lost in. We had a fabulous time, and of course I gained about a million pounds.

Elation way, a long corridor with all the dance clubs and public rooms. Pretty.

Here we are before sailing (but after eating, of course)

Mark in front of the mini-golf course. I thought we might use this, but we didn't. We did find an a/c vent on this deck so we could stand outside without dying of heat.

Miami is there in the background. It was so humid - which I am not used to.
