More of England

The ruins of a castle. I have forgotten which one.

Below- Brynn. Above- The highlight of my trip!

While we were there we saw lots of neat churches and old cemeteries.

First few days in England

Christmas morning!

This is supposed to be the most haunted hotel.

Above- Although you can't quite see them, there are a bunch of swans behind us. Kelsey had never seen swans. They were beautiful.

Below - Brynn told me to pack light, so I did. The first night there Carson puked on me. Thankfully, I brought one other pair of pants.

Christmas eve - Brynn and Scott shared their musical talent with us. I don't remember what they played, but I was a bit impressed.

Three peas in a pod

Kelsey's Baptism and Other Pics.

Couldn't resist. She looked so sweet and peaceful with her blankets and furry friend.

Before everyone one took off, we went and got a bite to eat at Corrona Village. Kelsey loves this place.

Kelsey got her first set of scriptures. Shannon made this cute case for them.

Dad:)

While I was taking care of things, Shannon and John got a hold of my camera and took a bunch of pictures. I'm glad they had fun because the developing cost me a pretty penny.

These are some of Kelsey's friends who came to watch.

Had to get a pic with the grandparents!

This is Bro. Morgan. He is our old home teacher that baptized and confirmed Kels.

Kelsey's baptism turned out great! This is her in her super cute dress.

The kids came for Kelsey's baptism. I went in Kelsey's room and smelt something horrific. I realized that it was Kynnadi's feet. With a bit of bribery I talked her into soaking them in the bathroom sink. What cracked me up was Shannon. She didn't seem to think they smelt bad and thought I was going a bit over-board by making her clean them. I couldn't believe it!

I decorated the chapel for Handel's Messiah. It was quite the undertaking.

Fall 2009

Do you recognize anyone? I love these pictures! Just like being back at home:)

I guess you could call this a class picture. This was taken during the last intensive weekend class I had in Casper. These are some of the people in the MPA program that I have gotten to know.

Kelsey's birthday. Since her trip to GR got messed up, I threw together a party at the last minute. I grabbed some cupcakes from WalMart, hung up a few balloons, hid the presents, and rounded up some neighbor kids. It turned out well and Kelsey was happy!

Once again Kelsey was a witch. I think this is three years in a row now.

Halloween! This year we decided to do things a bit different. We decided it would be fun to paint and decorate our pumpkins so that they wouldn't mold. I love our creations.

To carry on the family tradition, Kelsey made clues and hid my presents. These are some of the clues.

Kelsey made me this cake for my birthday. She was soooo excited.

Two summers ago Kelsey and I planted these trees outside of town. We decided to drive by and take a picture just for fun.

Kelsey's first day of school!
