Our Babies Turn "3"

Amazing these little monkeys are growing so fast!  We decided that once a decade it was okay to have a birthday celebration at Chuck E Cheese.  I have to say, it was pretty fun. 

 

 

 

Dad is getting really good at decorating the cakes!  He's much better at the fine detail than mom is!  That's for sure!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 These babies LOVE each other!  They look out for each other and do everything together.  I couldn't imagine life without them! 

Visiting DC

Joseph and I don't get to visit the temple in DC very often.  We were able to plan a quick trip to the temple and are so grateful to our sweet friends the Cramer's for letting us spend the night with them and watching our kids! It's so fun to be with friends that you haven't seen in awhile, but when your together it seems like no time has passed!  Thanks guys!

 

Visiting Grandma "GREAT"

While in D.C. attending the temple with the Young Men, we also had the privilege of stopping to see Great Grandma Adams and the Nelson's.  Mackey had just gotten 2 flying squirrels which the kids LOVED!

  

 

 

 

 

Young Men Temple Trip

This was an AWESOME day!!  First time Justin went to the temple, and joined by the incredible Fischer boys (and dad!). 

 

We LOVE this window!

That's all -- We just love this window!  SO MANY MEMORIES!

DON'T DO THIS AT HOME!

I know ---- this is REALLY gross!!!  But had to be documented none the less!  I think he had 16 grapes in there!

 

 

 

A Beautiful Day for Kiah

 
On January 14, 2012 our sweet oldest Kiah made the choice to be baptized and become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  It was a very special day surrounded with family and friends!

Nana Vicki made Kiah her baptism dress! It was absolutely beautiful.

 

 

 This is a special teacher Mrs. French from her school.

This is an amazing lady and Kiah's piano teacher Nicole Gneiting!

 Our special friends, who really are family -- Joe and Sandy Brown and Wendy Sheffler.
 

Kiah got her very own set of special scriptures from Nana and Papa Whitaker.

 

 

 

 

And, a special baptism angel from Joe, Sandy, and Wendy to remind her of her special day! 

 Kiah we are so proud of you and who you are and are becoming!  I know that Heavenly Father is very pleased with you too!
