Here is my rapid attempt to catch up!

i just downloaded 872 pictures off my card!!! granted, A LOT of them were pictures taken by Cole and Rylee (they like to get a hold of the camera and take pictures of their feet, the ceiling fan, their toys, their mom when she's not looking her best...etc. etc. you know!) but still...872 PICTURES. It's been a really long time since i have taken the time to sit down and take care of picture/blogging business. Here is a rapid attempt. The sad thing is, there is still so much i feel like i have left out! I have been terrible at remembering to pull out the camera for all those kodak moments! I am re-committing!

Thank you Jocelyn...



...for taking me out on my birthday while my dear husband was out of town!

Cole's first day of Kindergarten

I only had to hold back the tears TWICE!

We visited Grandma and Grandpa on their mission

We made a trip by train to visit Grandma and Grandpa Hoggan on their mission to temple square. We kept telling them we were going to take the train but as soon as we got on and got settled Cole informed us that it wasn't REALLY a train. I think the words he used was "this is just a fake train". Oh well, it was entertaining anyways!



Rylee doesn't go anywhere without her purse!








how precious.. i love it when they hold hands! Doesn't Cole look thrilled! I don't even remember making them do this either!


neighborhood beauty parlor

We've got the cutest little group of kids in our neighborhood. The older girls set up a beauty parlor and invited everyone in the neighborhood. It was quite successful! They had it all, everything from manicures, pedicures, and facials, Cole even got a great massage!
