..and such...

Here's some of the reasons why we might not be able to make the trip (besides the date issues).

This is what Hunter ate.......

And this was the consequence......

...this will be ours on Feb. 29th !!!!

Spring Trip

Ok everyone - Chris keeps hounding me about finding a place for this trip we've talked with everyone about. Before I start researching it and making suggestions I want to know what everyone is expecting out of this. So post your thoughts as either comments on this post or as a new post on this blog. I want everything out in the open from the get go so we can all have a good time and nobody feels like they're getting jipped.

I hope we can accommodate everyone's wishes but we will definitely have to make some compromises if we want to have a good time together. I.E. I don't want to stay at a hotel in St. George and swim in the pool and I don't think Lindsay Burton wants to backpack 10 miles and sleep under a tarp either. I'll start the comments with what we would like.

By the way, if you're not logged in you can still post comments but please identify yourself or I'll have to delete it. And let's all be nice.

Family Pics from Christmas

funny stuff from thanksgiving time

hey fam, thought i would add a few things i took during the thanksgiving break.

few more new york city pictures

this is when we got somewhat dressed up to see Wicked. i would highly recommend it, so funny. I also thought the signs of "no standing" were quite funny, instead of "no parking" signs. the last photo is us on the airplane at the beginning of our adventure. hope you are all doing well. can't wait to see you in a few weeks.

NEW YORK CITY!!!

here are a few pictures of my awesome trip to new york. you should all go it was so fun. a few pictures we were on the staton island ferry that went passed the statue of liberty. i also went to the Met museum, and of course a picture before we jumped on the subway.

hopefully the picts will post this time.

Fall in Minnesota

We'll get those new york pictures posted later. hopefully i did this right, you should see a few picts of fall here.

Sarah's Party Pics and others

It has been a good month. Sarah had her third birthday and Samantha turned six months old. She weighed in at 14 lbs. 8 oz at her doctor visit and had a good check up. Jacob takes good care of his sisters and we are adjusting to a new baby in the family. All the kids got their flu immunizations last Thursday--what an ordeal! We had to promise a treat at the store if they would hold still and then all three cried and cried after it was over. Now we just have to go back for the second dose of their immunization in six weeks.

Our New House

Here is a better picture of our new house. I sure take better pictures than Chris, Hu?

How did that get in there!!!

My Chunky little Girl!!!

Olivia is now 2 and 1/2 months old, and weighing in at almost 13 lbs. and 24 1/2 in. (Owen was that tall at 6 months old). She is so much fun, and smiles at almost anything. Owen is so good with her, and whenever she cries he is always asking if she is okay, (Even when he is the one to make her cry.) Oh every mom needs a little girl.

One of our highlights in California was taking a tram up to the highest point of the mountain. It was a bit scary, but it was so pretty up there. The weather also dropped about 20 degrees. Owen just laid on Grandpa's shoulder the whole way up, and kept saying I want to go home, and sweet Olivia just slept through the whole thing.

We went to Palm Desert last week with my family. We had so much fun! Here is Owen and Crazy Aisy swimming in the hot tub. I was to big of a Chicken to swim in the cold pools. So I think I got Owen hooked on swimming in the hot tub. Whenever we would go he would say "Mom I only want to go in the hot one."

Me and Chris were so lucky to be able to attend his 10 year highschool reunion. I had a blast! I don't think I have ever seen so many drunk people in my life, they sure were fun to talk to. Here is a cute picture of him and all of his friends. Wow 10 years really does make a difference. Look how much Chris has grown up!

Olivia Jane Burton

Here our some cute pictures of our new arrival, Olivia Jane Burton. Born August 6 at 10:17 p.m. weighing a whopping 7 lbs. 10 oz.

Must be that Burton blood

Mexico!?!
