Hello from NY!

Our Christmas Tree, 2008

So we are pretty busy with getting ready for the holidays as with everyone else, but I thought I would take a minute to write a few updates and post a few pictures! Well Ashley had her Winter concert at school, it was beautiful and she did awesome. I am so sad that I couldn't get good pictures, but here are the ones I got...

Then after that we came home and had dinner with the missionaries... We absolutly love having them over.

This is one of our Family Home Evenings...


Don't they look yummy! We made caramel apples... we had so much fun and then we ate them while watching the movie Joy to the World! A great movie during this time of year! It helps us remember the real reason of CHRISTmas...
Well other then that everything else is great! The kids are all doing awesome! We got 18 inches of snow yesterday so they got to go out and play in it! They are what Will calls "snowtards".

Their first snow angels!

A message to all our family and friends!

It was so much fun! Here are a couple of random pics of the kids...

WEll we got check-ups over with and Aiden is up to 10# 2 oz. and 21 inches long...


Gavin is now walking! They are up to: Gavin is 19# 8 oz and Ty-Austin is 15# 8 oz.
They are both doing awesome though! Ty eats like a cow!
This is why you don't leave a M&M jar on the table! Nevaeh and Dade are both doing awesome! Dade started speech last week, and is doing great with it. He came home all excited the other day because he can now say his "S" sounds. I love watching him learn new things! He gets so excited in his accomplishments! Good Job Dade! Other then those announcements things are going pretty smooth, Will had a MRI on his left knee on friday and got some bad news. He has a complex tear of his interior meniscus. He is scheduled for surgery on January 8th. So we will pray all is well! Also we found out that he is on orders for Korea. He leaves in September and he will be gone for 1 year. So it will be a little rocky at first, but we will make it through it. I have a very strong support system here. I love my friends I have made here, they are just like family! Speaking of family, I miss all of you in Florida, Utah, Indiana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. I hope I didn't miss anyone! We miss you all, and love you bunches! Hope to see you all soon! For your enojoyment here is a video of what we had today!
