Thanksgiving in D.C.

The Potomac River

Kirsten and Michelle's Thanksgiving Creation

The Battlefield of Bull Run in Manassas

The booth in the Ford's Theatre where Pres. Abe Lincoln was shot.

Ken, Tressa and I had a great vacation to D.C. for Thanksgiving. Bryan and Kirsten are quite the host and hostess. If you ever want a great time, they can show you how. Ken and I were able to see the Potomac River, the D.C. temple, the National Zoo, Bull Run Civil War Site, the National Air and Space Museum and downtown D.C. We also went to the Ford's Theatre and the room across the street where Pres. Abe Lincoln died. Kirsten and I made an awesome Thanksgiving dinner, we were quite proud of ourselves.

Don't eat too much turkey.

Dear Spencer,

Love ya!

Happy Belated Halloween

Here are some pics from Halloween. Hope you all had a Happy Halloween.

She's finished!

Let's all give a big "Good Job" to Mom for finishing her Master's Degree.



GOOD JOB, MOM!

Halloween Fun!!

Isn't she adorable in her little duck costume? Here she is at the zoo sitting on a haystack pile surrounded by pumpkins.

A couple of days ago, I gave Tressa a bath. When I was done drying her hair, this was her new hairstyle. Pretty devilish, since Halloween is approaching. I guess, Tressa just can't wait to dress up.

Tressa was invited to her second birthday party. A friend of ours has a daughter that just turned 1 on Friday the 13th. My friend, Nicole, wanted all the little kids to dress up for the occassion in their Halloween costumes. Tressa decided to go as a duck.

The following day, we went with a couple (the husband goes to school with Ken) and their two little girls to the Louisville Zoo for "The Largest Halloween Party Ever". They gave the kids little trick-or-treat bags and there were candy stations every 20 to 30 feet. They also had Disney characters walking around for pictures. (Don't ducks lay eggs? :) )

Getting cuter every day!!!

Here are some updated pictures of Tressa at 2 1/2 months. Since we here in Kentucky do not have ichat, I thought I would post some pictures for you guys to see.

IT'S A GIRL!

Again.

Catoctin Mountain Park

This weekend little Buddy and I went on our stake fathers and sons campout in Catoctin Mountain Park, Maryland and we had a blast.





Meanwhile, his little sister finally had some peace and quiet.

We had a great time over Labor Day weekend. We had a lot of family come for Tressa's blessing. On Ken's side of the family, we had Arlyn (Ken's dad), Colleen (Ken's mom), Trav (brother), Carl (brother) and Tiona (Carl's wife). On my side of the family, we had my mom, dad, Spencer, Bryan, Kirsten, Isaac, Clara, Aunt Joan and Uncle Fred. Friday night we went to the hotel and went swimming. Tressa really enjoyed the water, especially the hot tub. On Saturday, we drove about 100 miles south to Mammoth Caves. We went on the Historic tour. It was neat to learn the history that occurred in the caves and what they were used for. After the blessing, we had a big luncheon. Later that evening, we went to the Falls of the Ohio and then went to see the Louisville Temple. It was great to have family visit after living here for three years. I guess it did take a baby to get family out here to visit. :) Ken and I had a great time. We want to thank those who came to support us and participate in the blessing of our little Tressa.
