BC: Life brings simple pleasures to us every day. It is up to us to make them wonderful memories. -Cathy Allen

12: Brand New Baby Dylan | This was the first time our LA family got to meet Baby Dylan in person. She was only about a month old and as sweet as could be.

13: She's not quite sure what to think of our sometimes crazy family... | Our wacky but lovable Granddad's Aunt June...

14: This CANNOT end well...

15: Someone (me) had the "brilliant" idea of getting all of the "girl first cousins" into the moonwalk for a picture. But as soon as we got "settled", one of the boys deflated it. So wrong. . . . But we laughed until it hurt ;-)

16: ...Piñata!!!

17: ...and presents.!!..lovin' our Louisiana Christmas with cousins...

18: Aunt Deb and Uncle Danny's

19: One of the highlights of Anna's Louisiana trip was spending time at Deb and Danny's. She is always excited to get to feed the horses in the mornings and pick lemons and oranges off of Deb's fruit trees any time she wants to. Pretty fun!

20: Merry Christmas! | 2008

22: FBC SkiTrip '08 Taco asked Josh, Mick and I to go on the youth ski trip again...Josh as a leader and Mick & I as the photographers, tech team, and cooks. Since our cost was covered as "staff", we "sponsored" Leah's best friend, Krystal Murray. She had a blast, and so did Josh and Leah. The weather was perfect...not too cold, but fresh snow 3 of the 4 days we were there. Again an incredible time of fellowship, worship, and nature.

He decided very quickly that she will make someone a very high maintenance wife someday...a visit to the Children's Museum, lunch at the Aquarium...rides, and then a carriage ride downtown.
