Happy Anniversary to us! I wish my hair was still that color….
Berry Patch Farms
It’s always been Rusty’s dream to live on a farm. “The simple life,” he calls it. He gets a far away look in his eye as he imagines his acres of land, horses, and his kids playing on the tractors. This all coming from a man who can’t even mow his tiny lawn every week,…
My Mom is a MESS!
In Primary yesterday we were talking about temples.

Halle’s big day
It’s official–Halle lost her first tooth! And boy was it exciting. The anticipation has been building for about two weeks when she first discovered she had a wiggly bottom tooth. It’s something we’ve been talking about for awhile, as a few of her friends have lost teeth and she couldn’t wait to join the ranks….
