Some more of my favorites!

We couldn't get Jared to shut his mouth.  Most of the pictures he has a wide mouth grin.  Funny man of mine.  
Jared was loving the camera.  He kept laughing  at the photographer because of all the "clicking" she was doing.  

Long Time

Well we have been very spoiled lately and have had so much going on.  School, and life, and therapy, and school, and wonderful family, and did I mention school, has kept us on the move.   Here are a few pics that explain a bit.  Jared on the airplane coming home from Oregon.  This was the good leg of our flight.
Jared and Shawn (bro-in-law) trying to get Jared downstairs.  Jared grabbed the railing, so no one could go any farther.  We had to get a picture. 
Waiting at the airport for Elder Dance.  We each had blown up pictures of him.  Good to have him home.  Thanks mom for taking a silly picture.    
We have been doing lots of research and looking around for a new bed.  Finally we found one. It's actually two different beds with adjustable bases so Jared can still sleep with his head raised and I can be close enough to get to him if he needs something.  It has been so nice.  I no longer have to get up and out of bed to get what he needs.    
We used to sleep on two beds similar to this.  Wow are we spoiled now.  It's great.  

Christmas in our House

We finally got all our Christmas stuff put up.  It took no time at all because we really don't have much.  But I had to show off my Christmas banner my mother in law helped me do, and my Christmas tree that was decorated so cheap because of the economy this year, and my favorite reindeer poinsettia holder from my dad.  Yea.  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas (minus snow).

A Quick Update

We have been busy and loving it.  Family all around and missionaries coming home.  Jared's brother just got home from PA (picture of him coming off the airplane).  Jared's happy face is when he saw Brock for the first time in two years.  They are good buddies.  Then about a week and a half after Brock got home we all got together in Saint George to play WII (pictured above), go to the temple, eat, make fun Christmas banners,  and have some good ol' family pictures taken (jared in his handsome green shirt).  We have had lots of fun lately and love this time of year that we get to hang out with friends and family.

Pumkin Walk

We went to the local pumpkin walk this week.  It was great.  Every scene was made of pumpkins.  My favorite one was the tribute to Michael Phelps.  It's the one with the olympic rings in it and the swimmers racing.  It was pretty funny.  

Fall 08'

The leaves have been dropping like crazy at our house.  I told Jared when the wind stopped blowing we were going to rake some leaves and enjoy our last little bit of fall.  When we woke up this morning it was 30 degrees and the heat had kicked on, so when we went out I thought we should bundle up some.  So the top picture is what we started with.  
Then we went to this.
And then ended with this.  I guess it warmed up a lot more then we expected.  Turned out to be a beautiful day.  I love this time of year.  P.S. Jared was a great help with the yard work.  

New Curtains!

Here are our new curtains.  My sweet mother-in-law worked very hard and sewed them for us.  They look great in our house and now it really feels like home.  Also, some pictures of Jared with birthday presents from his family and ready for the priesthood session of conference.
