Joey's Dance Recital

Joey had her first dance recital on the 7th of January. She was so cute and so excited for it. Here is a picture of after the recital when she was still in her cute outfit. She sure looks different with curly hair.

She kept holding her flowers like they were a baseball bat. No matter how many times we tried to have her hold them differently, she always went back to the baseball bat way.

December at the Marchbanks

We got quite a bit of snow this month and we decided to make a snowman, but all of our neighbors made snowmen, so we decided to turn ours into a snowbunny. The kids started helping us with it, but in the end me and Chris were outside finishing it while the kids were inside getting warm.

This is a picture of the cold storage at my Grandparents Bitters house. It is where they kept all the apples. It is basically a big fridge inside. It was taken the day we went up there after my grandma had died and I wanted to take some pictures to remember how the place was before it was changed.

I tag Jenn, Amy, Tawni, and Natalie.

Halloween costumes

We had a Halloween party at my sisters house and here is a picture of the kids. Joey is sleeping beauty and Kyle is Obi Won Kanobi. Joey looks a lot different as a blond. We also painted pumpkins last monday. Kyle's is obviously Mickey Mouse, and Joey's is a nice ghost.

California Trip

We went down and did the Southern California thing. We all had a great time. Besides just us, Chris' Parents and two sisters came. My sister Becki and her family came as well as my brother and his family. We went to Disneyland for 3 days, Sea World and Universal Studios, as well as Newport Beach (which was Joey's Favorite).

It's good to be back home, but we had a ton of fun!!

Camping and new addition

Here are some pictures of the kids up camping at Payson Lakes. It rained every night, but the days were gorgeous! We also added another member of the family. Her name is Indy. The kids adore her.

Lately we've been working on our playhouse in out back yard. It's taken quite awhile since the weather didn't want to cooperate with us. But now it is done and kids absolutely love it. They always want to play outside on it, rain or shine.
