What's different?

YOUNG WOMEN THEME
We are daughters of our Heavenly Father,
who loves us, and we love Him.
We will “stand as witnesses of God
at all times and in all things, and in all places” (Mosiah 18:9)
as we strive to live the Young Women values, which are:
Faith
Divine Nature
Individual Worth
Knowledge
Choice and Accountability
Good Works
Integrity and
Virtue.
We believe as we come to accept and act upon these values,
we will be prepared to strengthen home and family,
make and keep sacred covenants,
receive the ordinances of the temple,
and enjoy the blessings of exaltation.

Spring Ahead...

Gymboree

Silent Night

Last Sunday our family and the Stoeckles went to a special viewing of over 600 Nativity scenes from around the world. It was held at one of our churches here in EG and they were beautiful...some were made out of tin foil, widdled out of wood and some were set in a coconut shell...Every room had a theme or country it was reppresenting...It was a great way to get into the spirit of Christmas...here are some of my favorites...

This one is from Italy...click on them to see the detail...

This one is from Tonga...very cool...

The one behind Dalen's head is from Germany...Tami's other BF has one too...

This one was my absolute favorite...just gorgeous...keep trying to find it online...

I thought this one looked cute scrapbook stickers that came to life...

...And Croatia...since I've been there I just had to include this one...

Here is a slideshow of all the pix...

Forgotten Randomness

Car Show November 2008

We saw the 2009 Honda Pilot...totally want it, but I think we'll wait for the next one...saw the '09 Acura...nice...Lexi's favorite was the 'marker' car...

This is how I found the boys after coming home from running errands one night...Deveon was asleep but Dalen was playing civilization...I told him, 10 more minutes and then it's bedtime...20 minutes later I told him to save his game and turn it off and when I came over to tell him to go up to bed this is what I found...

sleepy sleepy...

Birthday Fun...

...For the Little Ones!

Since I've never been good with the whole 1st birthday parties I thought I'd stick with that so on Thursday Night we made a cake and just had the Stoeckle's over since Adam is Noah's closest friend...here's the cake and who ate it too!

Noah waiting for Dalen and Daddy to come home from Karate...

Shy at first, but not for long...

More Bday fun...

Thank you to Mom and Dad for the bday Dinner at Red Robins while you were here and the cute airplane and the punching bag penguino, all the kids love him...Thank you Tami and Erick for helping us eat cake with the little one on his day and for the clothes and cars...

Chunko the Munkos...

...turns ONE!

Happy Birthday to my sweet little boy...

-December 4th 2007-

I went to bed with some little contractions and by 2am I knew they were real...Daddy was working and I knew it was going to be really annoying to have to call him home and get a sitter at 2 in the morning...hmmm...I call Josh and get him to believe me and then we decide to call Jody Reese from the ward...closest thing to a grandma here in EG...she gladly accepts and I go down to make sure kitchen is somewhat clean...we head to the hospital and the pain of the fourth kid begins...you weren't in the right position to come out so it was a long and drawn out process getting you out..Honestly I don't think I was actually in labor, but the DR had already given me the epidural so there was no way I was going home...so it was a long night...
