Look who turned 15!

Yes it is Londie Loo! I'm not quite sure how this happened because I know I'm not old enough to have a 15 year old! We had a quick dinner at Grandma O's and then since she is a shop-o-holic, we went to The Gateway and the boys went to see a movie. She got a cute new outfit in her favorite store Buckle. She is such a joy in my life, I am so grateful for her, a few things I love about her are.....
* she is very kind hearted and nice to everyone
*an awesome helper around the house
*she reads her scriptures almost every night
*helps to keep all the animals around here in line
*her sense of humor
*her optimistic outlook on life
*her love for her brother even when he is bugging her
*for being the best daughter EVER!

Londyn, Hayden, Preston and Reece

Did I FORGET to mention that she now has her Learner's Permit to drive, Yes please keep our family in your PrAYerS as we are the one's she gets to drive around!

Preston and his BIG Gap!

All Preston wants for christmas is his one front tooth, hopefully two! I need to take more pictures because now his front tooth that is still there is sticking almost straight forward- he looks so funny! Dan wants to pull it but it's not very loose yet.

Thanksgiving Day.....

Oh you are going to love the pictures I took on Thanksgiving day.... Oh ya I forgot to take any!! What kind of blogger am I if i don't even take pictures of the thanksgiving FeAst!!! Dan's family came to our house, a tradition every year, it's great for us!! It was kind of weird this year because it was only Dan's mom, his sister Jeannie her husband Michael and Seth and my mom came this year. We usually have a whole house full, kids running and screaming everywhere, it was very quiet this year. Quiet but good!

Preston's Big #7 Birthday Bash

This was Preston's first Birthday that he had cousins from MY SIDE OF THE FAMILY that lives here to celebrate with - he was so excited. Jeannie brought the kids up and we had papa murphy's pizza for dinner then opened presents and had birthday cake and ice cream, then we took the kids to TOADS to really party it up, they had fun playing lazer tag and playing video games!

The Vamps were out!

I heard that these two blood suckers were wandering all over - I didn't happen to see them did any of you?

The ol' SWITCHEROO For HALLOWEEN..

Preston decided it wasn't good enough to only wear one costume for Halloween! He was a vampire at the Ward Trunk OR Treat -
