Which Sports Car are you?

This is pretty fun! So what car are you? Let me know!

I'm a Ferrari 360 Modena!



You've got it all. Power, passion, precision, and style. You're sensuous, exotic, and temperamental. Sure, you're expensive and high-maintenance, but you're worth it.

Just a friendly reminder...

I received this in an e-mail from a few of my friends and I felt it was appropriate to post it as a friendly reminder to the men in our lives as Christmas is approaching. I particularly like the guy before the panel of women explaining the thigh master. :)

Aspiring Model...

Cole and I were in the kitchen making dinner, when Ashlyn came in with the camera and handed in to Cole and started saying, "Cheese, Cheese" He asked her if she wanted him to take her picture. Here is what she said...


And here is the picture :)

The Land Before Time

This is a delayed post...Actual events happened a few weeks ago! Forgive me! I'm catching up. Maybe I'll post her Halloween Costume before Christmas...who knows! We'll have to wait and see.

Cole was working on Jessica's car so we decided to go and play again. We went down to the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point. At the beginning they have the displays of claymation movies that they make. The detail on these things are amazing.


Jonah wanted to have his picture taken by this scary guy Goliath.

Ashlyn is in front of Santa's Workshop


Joe was so cute with Ashlyn. He told her to hold his hand so she wouldn't get scared

She wasn't too thrilled about the outer space to walk through to go back in time. I thought it was pretty cool with all of the stars. Once we arrived from space she was pretty excited about all the things to see. She looked at one of the dinosaurs and said "Big". Then we went to the Dino play area and looked at books and played with the toy dinosaurs.
Ashlyn wasn't too fond of the sound effects that were playing. When she heard the roaring she would run over and grab my leg. I kept telling her that they were pretend and that nothing was going to get us. After that whenever she heard the roaring she would run over, grab my leg, and say "pretend".
The three of us hiding in the cave
This was one of my favorite parts...Design a Dino!
There are a variety of dino parts to choose from. Once you've decided the part you want, you attach it to this gray carpet mass.
Jonah and Ashlyn carrying the dino parts. It was really funny to watch them try and carry the legs and then lift them up to attach them! We had a great time designing our dinosaur. And...
Here is our finished Dino
No matter what Jess and I do, we always have a great time and a lot of laughs. It takes us back to our younger teenage years!
