moball

moball=mormon snowball=standards friendly girl's choice winter dance



emma & alex. turns out in addition to being a star football player, alex is also a killer waltzer. emma learned a few new moves & had a great time. their group's pre-dance fun included lazer tag, miniature golf, arcade, and a little wii rock band. they regrouped for a "crazy dinner" which included some very unusual eating utensils and dinnerware. think pasta in a frisbee and juice in a vase.

jordon, alex, kyle, stephen, ryken, joe, & adam. what tough guys.


brittney, emma, ami, katie, alex, alli, ashley. what cuties.



zack & sarah's day included a picture scavenger hunt, gingerbread houses & pictures with santa. their glamourous dinner was served on silver-lidded platters and grandly presented to reveal . . . burger king for dinner!

i take no responsibility for zack's hair that night. i do take full responsibility for emma's :)


the girls looked so pretty

and so did austin

enoch's blessing day

enoch was blessed by his dad on december 7. dan gave him a beautiful blessing and enoch has truly been a great blessing to us all, especially me. there is nothing in the world like a newborn baby. i love the softness of his skin, the dead weight of him on my shoulder when he falls asleep there, the smell of him, even his cry is sweet. i am so blessed to be a mother. when i think back to what i wanted as a little girl . . . all those hours spent playing "house," . . . i am truly living my dream. and i thank God for that great blessing.
