David's Yellow Belt Test

In November David tested for his yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do. He did awesome!!! Of course he passed with flying colors (Having a Master in Tae Kwon Do for a mother and a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do for a father) he was bound to do well ;) We love you David. Congratulations on your promotion to yellow belt!

Thanksgiving Week

I know it always takes me forever to get around to posting. So this is our trip to St. George for Thanksgiving. We had a lot of fun. We stayed at my sister in-laws house and the kids had a blast playing with their cousins. We went bowling, the kids went to the park and flew airplanes and helicopters with their uncle, we went to the movies a few times. We saw Old Dogs, New Moon, and 2012. I went out to lunch with my girl friends, went on a date with my awesome hubby and when we got home a couple of my friends were there to surprise me for my 30th birthday. they even put 30 candles on the cake! So here a some pictures of our trip.

First Day of School

David started Kindergarten this year. He was so excited to finally go to school. He is in the afternoon kindergarten class. His teacher is Mrs. Mikulecky. So here are pictures of the BIG Day!

David wanted to have chocolate milk, pancakes, and a strawberry studel for breakfast to start his big day :)

Here is my Big Boy the morning of his first day of school.

Mrs. Mikulecky gave David some confetti to put under his pillow the night before school started to help him sleep good and be ready for school.

David all dressed and ready for school.

Happy Birthday David!!!

I know I am soooo far behind. David turned 5 years old in July. He had a great birthday. We just celebrated at home. He got Mario Cart for the Wii and played it ALL day. He also got a new bike and some other presents. I can't believe I have a 5 year old already. Where does the time go? Love you Bug!!!

Our Virginia Vacation

David, Jaylin, and Avery with their cousins in Virginia

We went to Virginia to visit Yai's family. We haven't seen them in over two years so it was time to go see everyone. We had a great time. I tried to narrow down our pictures, we took a ton. Here are some of our trip.
Check out the view driving to the D.C. LDS Temple, it really does stop traffic especially at night when the temple is all lit up. It really does look like a castle on a hill.

We took the kids to the temple visitors center and had a great time.

Here is our family at the Washington D.C. LDS Temple

After the temple we went to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch. Here is Yai with Jaylin
