Christmas tree

We would like to wish all of our friends and family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.

Mama and Aspen decorating the tree. Aspen is still reorganizing all of the decorations on the tree or simply directing where they should go. She also shows everyone her tree. She is so proud of the Santa and Snowman decorations.

No, No Daddy, it goes here.

It was hard work ,but.....

she had just a little bit more energy to put the star up.

After that she was able to sit back in her favorite chair with some juice and relax.

Border Wars

Border Wars is a basketball game played annually between the University of Wyoming and Montana State University. We have gone to the game the past 4 years.


Go Pokes!!! Here is Aspen and Mama already to go for the game.

They even got Daddy to wear his Poke gear.

Family "Poke" picture before the game.

Flag Football

It wasn't from a lack of effort. We finished the season in second place. Next year will be our year. Go GREEN!!!

New Family Pictures.

A couple of weeks ago we went to get some family pictures taken and we thought we would share them with you. Have a safe and happy Halloween.

Our summer update.

It's been awhile since my last posting so I thought I would just put some pictures of the family up.

Things have been pretty busy the past month. Jen and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary. It was fun. We went to Cody, Wyoming for a get away weekend. On the way there we saw about 200 to 300 heads of elk a long the side of the highway. It was amazing. They were buggeling. It was truly amazing.

Aspen has been growing like a weed. She has transitioned to the toddler room. It's just going by too fast for Jen and I. She is walking and talking and every day is a new adventure. Since mama teaches swim lessons 3 time a week daddy and Aspen get to tag along. Aspen is such a fish. She loves the water. I think her favorite part is when we sing Wheels on the Bus.

Flag football season began for me last week. It was a blast, til the next day. I was so sore and bruised. Aspen met a new boyfriend named Nick. They had a great time together. Nick is even an older man. That a girl.

Anyway here are some pictures.

Fire!!!
