GIrly pictures

Well, so goes our annual girly pictures thanks to Velika. We just do it at the same time as the Christmas pictures for grandma. Sarai has learned to fold her arms and that last one is the most beautiful smile i've ever seen from Dariya.

Dariya's Music Performance

For Dariya's Music performance they had all the little girls dress little princesses.
The rest of the cast dressed in different costumes that went with the different songs that they sang.

Family Christmas Pictures

Halloween

For Halloween Dariya wanted to be a witch. But when it came down to it she was scared so for moral support for the ward party momma was a witch too. After wearing it twice, once for the ward party and once for her dance class party, she decided to be a fairy for halloween. Her parents were boring and decided not to dress up for the actual event. Sarai was a bear. We thought it was appropriate. For those of you that don't know she used to growl.

New Puppy

We have a new addition to our family. A little black lab. We got him when he was 6 weeks old and we call him Shadow. The girls are enjoying him greatly. Dariya loves to run with him and Sarai loves to pet him when he calms down enough to let her. Daddy loves to get him wound up and play with him. While momma has got him to play fetch and even sit sometimes. We've enjoyed having him. The picture to the right is Sarai holding one of his sisters at a week old.

Swimming Dariya

At the beginning of this summer Dariya would swim with floaties on. She took lessons with a good friend of the family for 3 weeks, 2 times a week. Now she is almost swimming on her own.

In fact, sometimes she thinks she can do everything and scares us all. But, coming from a little girl who didn't like me dumping water on her face, she has come a long way.

Jon

I just wanted to post some pictures of my Favorite brother, okay, my only brother, before he heads for Iraq next month. He has always been an great brother and friend.

These two pictures are of him and his new wife Sara. They were married in January and she is awesome. The one on the left was when they were dating and the other was Jon re-enlisting last October.
Sara's dad is to her right. He is awesome too.
