Merry Christmas Everyone!

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, and a great New Year!

First Winter Snow

Here are all the boys all geared up ready to play

Ready for a game of snow soccer?

Mom I am catching snow bugs

How fun is this!

GO UTES!

Marc and Parker had a special date and went to the Utes vs. TCU game. What a game! Parker is a huge Utes fan thanks to his dad, and even knows the fight song. Needless to say it was an awesome night.

Halloween 2008

Happy Halloween a little late. We had a great night trick or treating and spending the night with family. Parker was the Blue Power Ranger, and Caden and Carter were Elmo and Cookie Monster.

Here are our three rascals, trying to pose for a picture if that is possible. We are so lucky to have them!

Big Boy Beds

The time has arrived that I have been dreading. The boys would not stay in their cribs any longer. I finally decided it was time to take them down when I heard Carter screaming in the middle of the night because Caden had jumped in Carters crib and was sitting on his head. The next day we made the big purchase. Grandpa came and helped assemble the beds.

Here is the end project.

This is Caden the first night in his big boy bed. I can not complain, the transition has been much easier than I ever dreamed. They are such good boys.

Here is Carter, does it get any cuter? The next big step is taking away those darn binkies.

Parkers First Missing Tooth

Parker reached another big milestone, his first missing tooth. He was so excited, dad helped him pull it out. The tooth fairy made a trip to the house and left money under his pillow. He also got to pick out of the tooth fairy box at school. Here he is showing off his new smile!

Halloween Fun!

We had so much fun today. We started off at the pumpkin patch. Here are the boys having a great time in the cart.

Hmmm, which pumpkin do we pick?

Here is Caden off in the distance finding his perfect pumpkin.

Here are our three ghostly goblins

After the pumpkin patch it was on to Gardner Village. Parker had a great time getting his face painted by the witches.

The next stop was the petting zoo!

Everyone taking a close look at the animals. The night ended with a caramel apple, and mummy dogs for dinner.

Our Soccer Star

The soccer season has now come to an end till spring. Parker loved plying on the Blue Sharks and Dolphins team. I must brag a little, Parker scored every single goal but 3 for the whole season. I think he finally got the hang of it this year.

Here is Parker and his best bud Donno.

Great grandma and grandpa Denton came to cheer him on.

Parker is 6!!

The day finally arrived, Parker has been counting the days till he turned the big 6. He had a Ben 10 birthday party. He also had a great time at school being the special person for the day.

Here is grandma with the boys.

Parkers favorite gift was his skateboard. He also got the wii batman game, the bakugan mat, and new men to go with it, puzzles and boardgames. Needless to say he was spoiled as usual.

This is his Ben 10 cake with Wildmut, Benwolf, and the hero himself Ben 10 on his skateboard.

Caden and Carter are two!!

Wow, can you believe it, we survived the first two years! Caden and Carter had a Thomas the Train party, here are their new Thomas Trains and Thomas slippers.

Carter wanted to tear off the trains immediately, while Caden was enjoying a chunk of cake off the back.

The boys loved their conductor hats, and never wanted to take them off.

Caden and Carter before the big bash started.

First Day of Kindergarten

Wow, where have the years gone. Our first born is off to school. It really makes us a little sad. I didn't think I would feel this way, I just don't know if I am ready to let him go, but Parker was so excited and not worried one bit so I guess I don't have a choice. I know he will do just fine, and I will be fine too.

Mom are you done taking pictures yet? I need to go to school.

Bear Lake Trip

The boys thought that this was the perfect location for the biggest sand castle ever.


Time out for a family photo!


The boys were so good, and loved every minute being at the beach. They had permanent grins all day.


We had grandpa's birthday party while we were there. Here are all the grandkids to help celebrate.


Here are the boys helping grandma and grandpa get the corn ready for dinner.

Our 8th Anniversary!!

Wow, hard to believe that it has been eight years since we tied the knot on August 4th, 2000 (and that's not including the 7 years that we dated before then). It doesn't seem like we have accomplished much in that amount of time (Marcus doesn't even have a real job yet) unless you count three kids (including a two-for-one), lots of school and even more debt. Either way what a ride it has been. Marcus and I were looking back at all of our wedding pictures the other day and reminiscing about what a special and magical day it was (as well as how YOUNG we look). It will definitely be a day we will never forget. The Lord has blessed us immensely over the past 8 years and we are so grateful for all of our blessings. I think we fall in love more and more every day. We look forward to whatever the future holds.

Summer fun!!

The boys love playing in the water and beg mom daily to take them out. Caden and Carter scream everytime we make them come in despite chattering teeth and blue lips. It's so much fun to watch them play (and usually fight) together.
