Pretty in Purple

We were blessed to have Becca's Grandma Olsen here for Thanksgiving this year. When everyone came for dinner we realized that Grandma and all of her great-granddaughters were wearing purple. So of course we had to take a picture. Shaylin and Emmalyn are usually wearing matching outfits when we see them and they always look so adorable! (The big patch of orange in the background is one of the many 'leaves' that Christian cut out free hand and decorated the house with for autumn)


Jessica and Emmalyn had a great time together. Soon Emmalyn will be running around everywhere with Jessica. I'm grateful that we have cousins living so close to us.

Gratuitous Pictures

We recently had our family picture taken for our Christmas card and got some extra pics of just the kids taken. So these are for all the grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc. out there that are interested in seeing these. Love ya!

Daddy's Truck and the Car Farm

We were fortunate enough to have Andy work for a couple of days down in Maricopa at the Nissan Test Track. That meant he brought his truck home and had a shorter commute in the morning because he didn't have to drive all the way into Phoenix to the yard just to turn around and come back to Maricopa.

Declan would ask me, "Is Daddy working at the car farm?" because Andy had said that Nissan was down by Shamrock Farms. He remembered 'cars' and 'farm' hence "car farm"

We took a quick pic one night of Andy and the kids on the big truck. I love this picture! I have fond memories and more than a few pictures of myself as a little girl with my Grandpa Olsen and his big trucks and equipment and with the tractors and other big equipment on my Grandpa Hedges' ranch.
