Our new header!


We went and took our pictures yesterday so I can try and be on top of getting my Christmas cards out early this year. ;) The new header is one of the pictures and it was actually Kobe's idea to sit biggest to smallest. Turned out pretty cute, especially since we didn't have an actual person taking the pictures, I finally figured out how to use the timer. I'll post more pics later when I have more time.

Silver Medal Wrestler!

We have been trying to get Kobe to wrestling match for a couple of weeks now but could never find out when or where they were. We finally got him to his first wrestling match this year and he did AWESOME! There was a couple of times that he had to remember he was wrestling and not grappling (he is used to going to his back since he has been in karate/jiu jitsu for 3 years now) so we were so proud of how well he did. He won his first two matches and after the second one he came to us (looking a little pale) and said he felt like he was going to puke :(. So he stood over the garbage for a minute and said he was fine (didn't puke). Then we had to wait another 5 minutes or so for his final match and he stood and walked out on the mat and gave us a funny look and told the ref he didn't feel good, so back to the garbage he went (again, didn't puke but didn't have much color either). He went back out on the mat to try and finish his last match but couldn't quite do it so he took second place and got a silver medal! Here he is with his medal and I posted a couple of clips from the matches.


This is the first boy he wrestled

Wow! 11 Years!

It is so crazy to think that we have been married for 11 years. I remember it like it was yesterday! I remember being nervous that I would get cold taking our pictures outside in my short sleeve dress but it was a gorgeous day. It was nice and warm and not a cloud in the sky, probably the most beautiful November day ever (in Manti anyway). Time goes by so fast! With each year that's gone by, each child, and every trial we have faced together we are more in love now than I could have possibly imagined 11 years ago. I know that sounds so cheesy but I really feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband. I love and appreciate all he does for me and our 4 kids.
Happy Anniversary Chris!
