what's new???

in no specific order...

it snowed!  

I bought this "trashed" peg perego stroller at my neighbors garage sale for $10, which just happens to be the same stroller that Kai's car seat (that chad gave to us) goes to.  What a steal!

Kai apparently thinks he is a real man... falling asleep with his remote already.

Me and Berg made a gingerbread house this year!

Another steal from Diona's garage sale... Kai loves his new walker/car.  As you can see by the look on his face, it gets pretty intense sometimes. 

We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!

cheese, anyone?

Taylor is really gone.  Two weekends ago we had his open house and farewell, and then we dropped him off at the St. George airport where is flew to Salt Lake, then flew to Dallas, and then straight to the Brazil MTC.  It still hasn't hit me that he really is gone, probably because he wasn't home much anyway.  We love you Tay and we are so proud of you!  You will be the best missionary ever to roam Brazil!

ketchup...

It hasn't been that long since we last posted, but a lot has been going on so here's a little update:

Josh decided he needed to do a mud mask.  Hermana Ricks would be proud!

Josh and I went to Vegas with our friends Landon and Britt.  The water show was magical, as always!

Us at the atrium.  That place blows my mind.

Kai sporting his beanie, getting ready for a morning stroll.

And lots of Baby Einstein!

Taylor played in his last "Ketcher" concert on Nov. 1st.  They rocked the Electric Theater!  Tay has an open house at my parents on Nov. 14th from 6-8, speaks in church at 1:00 on the 15th, and departs for Brazil from the STG airport on Tuesday.  Everyone come and say your goodbyes this weekend!  We will miss you T-Bone!

TAG! I'm it.

It's picture tag.  Take the 4th picture from your 4th folder and tell about it.  This was our first family picture taken in St. George.  Taylor was about a year old, I was 4, and Bryn was 5.  It was taken in Sunbrook (you may notice the famous bridge in the background).  The photographer gave all of us kids pennies to hold in our hands so that we wouldn't have fingers flying everywhere.  What a cute little denim family!  

Now it get to tag 4 people... I tag Megan Hardy, Brittney Wimmer, Liz Shelley, and Haylie Weston.

BOO

Here are just a few pictures of our Halloween.  I don't really have much to say about it.  I'm kind of sad that I didn't get a better picture of Kai because he looked so freakin' cute in his little giraffe costume, but he would not smile for us.  Oh, well.  Josh ended up being "goth" and he was so creepy.  And I was a viking, if you can't tell by my massive horns.  Hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween!!
