We're gettin' there!

These are the collages that we just finished for our adoption profile. Steven and I worked side by side, literally, putting these together. We are really pleased with how they turned out and so is our Social Worker, Alisa. We should receive our final approval on January 7th! Whooppeeeee!!!! We are ecstatic, as you can imagine. We'll let you know when you can see our entire profile on-line, too. Thanks for all the continued support of our family and friends. We love you!


Christmas Cookie Decorating Party 2008


The cookie decorating party at Rashel and Carters was so much fun. I'm not sure what was in the heavenly frosting that mom made, but according to Steven I don't want to know! I think most everyone made it to this party, which was pretty cool. I think Savannah loved it, too. Or at least all the different sprinkles:)

Thanksgiving at Wilda's, 2008


Thanksgiving play time before the feast! There were a lot of people at Grandma's house! Good thing we had 50 lbs of stuffing:)

So apparently stuffing is the whole reason we have Thanksgiving:) Grandma Wilda was passionate about this stuffing! Steven helped her get it all together. I've never seen so much Jimmy Dean in all my life:O It was tasty though!

Just a gorgeous picture we took while hiking in Zion's:)

We headed South for the weekend and had a blast! This was a hike to Emerald Pools.

Family Halloween Party 2008


A few of the cousins costumes.

I'm pretty sure Kaylee was a vampiress! She'd look cute no matter who she was!


A few pics from the family Halloween Party where Shelby won the best female costume. We're still trying to track down who has pictures of her costume. It was hilarious!!! And will never be forgotten:)

Ghost Chase 2008


Steven stretching before the big race!

Steven clears his schedule every year so that he can run in the Ghost Chase. Next to him is his little brother Kyle. You think they get into this a little too much??? I mean check out the rocky shorts and leg bling! It's pretty funny how excited these kids get for the race. They even start talkin' smack! And boy, can those 3rd graders run fast! Just the crazed looks on their faces scared me!

Pediatric Halloween Party

This is an annual party that Shelby's work holds for children with Diabetes. Shelby was in charge of planning and coordinating everything! We were told by several parents that it was the best party in several years. There were over 200 kids that came for games and prizes! Steven was burning up by the end of the night! His costume must've weighed 20 lbs! He was my knight in shining armor, truly:) The best part though was that a few minutes before the party ended, the fog machine in the spook alley set off the fire alarms!!! The fire department showed up and had to clear the building before we could go back in. Everyone thought it was pretty exciting and how they'd never forget this year's party! Something tells me this is one Halloween party that will be remembered!
