New photos, New Camera






I LOVE the new camera that Shelly got for us. The pictures are beautiful and I can be artistic with the manual focus. These ones are some of our recent favorites, hot off the press.
Don't say we never take pictures anymore!
We love you all.

He's really quite pleasant once you get him oriented!

New Years Wedding


I was privileged enough to be the "matron" of honor at the wedding of Trent and Karen Parker on New Years Eve. Brian and I sang "God Blessed the Broken Road" for it too. We had a really great time and Karen was kind enough to share these pictures from it with me, and so I pass them along to you. Just a side note, Ben decided that he needed to take a drink out of EVERY ONE'S glasses when the new year hit, and this includes Trent's dad of whom he had only met that day. Too funny. -Shelly-

Family Picture Time!




It's been quite some time since we updated our blog. It is mostly because Brian dropped our digital camera while dancing the night away at the "Cadaver Ball" in October. We had our first "official" family photo taken today at Sears and thought we'd share with everyone. It was quite the experience! We almost left without getting an individual picture of Benjamin because he decided to throw a neary two year old boy tantrum, but mommy saved the day by making him laugh enough to sit on the rocking horse. Well worth it! We miss everyone and hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

Benjamin rides a bike......




Well, it's not your traditional bike, but Benjamin LOVES to ride (pretend to ride) his Daddy's bike.

What we've been up to since our trip


CLICK HERE TO SEE ALL THE PICTURES!


Hi Family,


We have been very busy since we came back from visiting with many of you "out West". But we needed to get these pictures out there so that you have a chance to get prints if you'd like. Please know that we love you and think of you all the time. A special thanks to all of you who let us stay with you while we were out there. Enjoy the pictures. Both Shelly and I are on the verge of starting school again. I start my medical school orientation tomorrow and have my first official day of class July 30th. Shelly starts at East Tennessee State University in August. We are obvioiusly going to be very busy, but will continue to do our best updating you and at least sharing our two little boys with you. Again, we love and miss you.


Sincerely, Brian.

More fun in Hurricane, UT






Aunt Janice and Uncle Jon (*Avery and Don Juan) got to see Benjamin and Jeffrey. Auntie Sharice (*Samantha) came over again too. We played a rousing game of Expose Yourself where you have to guess everyone else's answers to certain questions. It was hilarious.
*Made up names from the game. Shelly's was Amanda Hugginkiss and Joel's was 'the grandpa!'

Mommy and Jeffrey

This picture says it all.

The Boys




Benjamin is happy to have a new baby brother. Little Jeffrey is happy that Benjamin is not trying to bite his face off. Daddy is just grateful to catch a few winks.
