Our Christmas Trip to DC!!!

These pics are actualy in backwards order, but oh well.
We're saying bye to Tex here.

Adam and Tex grew quite close and already miss each other greatly.

Me and Jake... He's so huge now!

These two goofs had matching sweaters and everything.

This was an awkward moment for all of us... hahaha.

Sara came back with Jensen to see us the last week or so there!

Tank sending us goodbye kisses.

Adam's new cool-guy glasses for his 23rd birthday!!!

He got home made ice cream cake with hot fudge sauce... yummy!

He and Tex were nap buddies all through the vacation.

Me and the mommy... or grandmommy.

Me and Padre, with Jensen.

Jake and Izzy napping on the couch.

Adam's pretty birthday presents... I hadn't noticed until now that he is pretty much pulling the same face as Chris Farley on the TV in the background.

Me and Izzy with Dad and Jensen... they're such cute kids.

Adam with the adorable Isabella.

Adam got an Office birthday card from the fam that was pretty awesome.

Adam reading the inscriptions at the Lincoln memorial.

Adam and Mt. Vernon

Representing for George "W".

Adam and talking and waving to his mom and dad at Mt Vernon.

We got to visit the cemetery... it was intense, but really neat.

Adam with the puffy shirt from Seinfeld, as well as Mr. Roger's sweater.

We got to go to the top of the Washington Monument. This is the view of the Capitol from way up top.

We decided to pose at the new WWII memorial.

Siting outside the Lincoln.

Adam resting by the reflecting pool, with a cool view of the Washington.

The girls got matching pajamas on Christmas Eve.

And so did the boys!

Another view of the Capitol.

Adam at the Air and Space museum.

Adam was in charge of the dough for the sugar cookies.

Max loved chocolate covered pretzels... even if they're hard to eat.

Jake, Eph, and Mom with the dogs... why they were just sitting on the kitchen floor, I do not know. But I thought it made for a fun picture.

Hayley's 21st Birthday

I got lots of wonderful things from the fam back in Virginia. It was a blast to open the package and go through all the goodies!

Max and Heather came over to say hello also. The boys had fun playing.

The two of us posing with Maximus.

Me and Heather

Posing in some of my lovely gifts... I kind of match the kitchen...

Delmar's Day Out!

Yes, Delmar is our firebird (and Magnum is our truck). We like to think of the cars as our kids right now. We love taking care of them, and taking them out to play, and of course, showing them off. This is Delmar at a scenic area out near Utah Lake.

Me forcing a smile with bugs swarming all around.

Adam's famous "I'm too cool to smile" look.

Labor Day

For labor day, we decided to break in Adam's new $7 grill. It actually worked perfectly. We had some yummy cheddarwursts and even some grilled carrots. We considered it a remake of our wedding day...

Idaho Visit

We got to visit with family and friends in Idaho this past weekend! It was nice to get away and see everyone.

We lovedplaying with Grandpa Garner's dogs.

We went to the fair in Boise to see the Josh Turner Concert and got to be really close to the stage! We loved it! We also enjoyed the funnel cakes and livestock!

Posing in our Josh Turner T-shirts.

Went to the Boise temple with Grandma Garner on Friday.
Adam and the cousins had fun jumping off a bridge on Saturday... crazy people!
