1st Snowstorm of 2007

December 8, 2007: This weekend, we had our first big snowstorm of the year! The kids begged Dave to go out and build a snowman with them. They tired out of the building for a while but Dave really got into it. By the end, we had a huge snowman waving down at the road. The kids are so proud of it!

2007 Family Pictures: the annual attempt!

Every year, we attempt to have some family pictures taken. This year, we hired our dear friend, Jen Johnston, to make us look good! We had a lot of fun and the kids cooperated pretty well. Here is a glance at our ever-growing family!

The Lindsay Family

Here are the kids!

Taylor is 61/2 years old, Jaxson is 3 1/2 years old and Austin is 20 months old! They are so fun, growing so quickly and simply the gems of our life!Dave and Austin

Dave and his sons!

I get a kick out of how my husband used to worry about being the only boy in our family and now has these two boys!

Taylor and Jody

I just need to add that this little girl is the warmth of our home! She loves to play with her brothers and is becoming the biggest helper to us.

The "Butch Brothers"

Jaxson and Austin had haircuts today. I keep telling them how handsome they both look. I was impressed by the way they both held so still! Mostly, I can't get over how grown-up Austin looks! I guess that comes with being 19 months old. Brothers and best friends
Hugs and Loves
Kisses for Austin
Families Forever!

Halloween 2007

This year's Halloween party was bigger, funnier and warmer than last year's party. We invited several neighbors over for soup and apple pie before the trick-or-treating began. This year, we had around 35 adults and kids from about 8 different families. The neighbors love the tradition, good food and adult fun. The kids love playing with each other. Here are just a few of the pictures we took this year.

Jaxson & Riley's Wedding

A few weeks ago, our neighbor doll, Riley, was over for a while to play. I was cooking in the kitchen, when suddenly the bride and groom appeared. Jaxson's excitement was obvious to have his dream girl and Riley just enjoyed the spotlight more than anything! A few minutes later, Taylor walked in, prepared to be married as well.

Presenting the happy couple: Jaxson and Riley!
