Maleah Age 4

Kaya's Baptismal Day

Kaya was baptised on Feb 5th. It was a super happy day. Kaya was radiant! After she was baptized she said "Can I please do that again? I feel so clean inside!" Then she said "This is my best day ever!" She is so cute!


























We had such a wonderful time with all of our family and friends. Thank you to all who came, made cupcakes, made soups, and sent cards. You made our day complete!

Happy Birthday Kaya

double trouble in the spice cabinet



Maleah loves lizards but she specifically asked for a pink one to go with her blue one from last year. We rarely see her soooooo excited!

October fun with Gran and Gramps

Grandma and Grampa Cusick flew in from California and helped us issue in the twins' 2nd Birthday! It was great fun.

Jacob must really hate sleeping in his crib b/c we find him in more "cozy" places.

Maleah showing her dashing smile (rarely on camera or on cue).

Shopping for pumpkins...a family tradition!

I've never seen Tasha sooooo excited to sit next to such colorful pumpkins.

Justin and Andrea aka Peter Pan and Tinkerbell

We were so lucky that the Utah weather didn't scare off our California guests. We could actually spend some good time out on the deck without freezing our noses off.

Pumpkin Carving time! They never had templates when I grew up!!!

The pumpkin family. We stayed up until midnight, and yes, Gramps and Gran hung out the entire time! It was great fun!

Funny faces...

Heidi showed up with her date Adam. Boy has she aged!!!

Maleah wanted to wear Heidi's "old woman" glasses.

Jacob and Emma looked at these cupcakes for a while, just wondering what in the world they were supposed to do with it. As if they were saying: "would you please put out the fire so I can eat it please???? "

Yummmmmmmmy

Grampa Mike with his Mom and Dad.

We had such fun listening to Gramps and Gran's stories when they grew up. Our power went out and grampa said that our lamps are a lot brighter than the ones they used when they grew up. The both remember when they got power in their house for the first time. Amazing!

Playing with the presents...

We decided to have a family "theme" for our costumes: Wizard of Oz

Emma with a wig. Or should I say Rapunzel?

Wizard of Oz going Trick or Treating.

The kids gave some musical performances, and got PAID!!!! They were all very surprised.
