Our Little Moose

JJ was up every two hours throughout the entire night last night. In an effort to fill his little tummy so mommy can sleep, Lisa mixed sugar (she's desperate) with the cereal that he refuses to eat and BINGO -- He loves it. He ate three servings. We will keep you posted on the results tomorrow. Cross your fingers.

Happy Halloween

Here's some pictures of our little Fairy Princess and her brave Lion friend. We filled a whole pumpkin bucket to the top with candy. Now it's the showdown of who gets their favorite candy eaten before it's snatched up by others.

Livi's Preschool Halloween Parade

Livi's preschool had a parade up and down her teacher's street. Parents were invited to take the pictures. Isn't she a doll?

Gardner Village

Lisa and her sisters went to Gardner Village with the kids and Nana Strong. They spent the afternoon looking at all the Halloween Displays and shopping of course. Here's a few pictures from their trip.

Kelly & Kids

We came home from church, had dinner and relaxed. Kelly found himself with both kids on his lap and it quickly became a Kodak moment.

Tim Boyce Article

An article on Tim's organ donation was in the Salt Lake Tribune on October 16, 2006. It was the front-page article and included two inside pages too. It was a great article. His heart does indeed continue to beat and his presence is felt near us on a daily basis.

We miss him dearly. Many of Livi's prayers pray that we can see Uncle Tim soon. It pretty much brings tears to our eyes every time. There's still a lot of tender hearts around here. I don't imagine that will change for quite a long time. Here's the link: http://www.sltrib.com/search/ci_4496001 Hope you enjoy it.

We ran across this picture while we were looking for Livi's baby pictures. It was unexpected and hit us like a ton of bricks. I believe it's one of only a few pictures our family has with just Tim. We love you Tim!

Surprise Alaska Visit

Kelly had to go to Alaska to help with the tile and winterize the company boats. At Kyle's suggesting we all decided to go together. Only Fred knew the whole plan and it was a complete surprise to Grandma King that everyone came. We spent most of our time driving between Kenai and Anchorage to deliver the boats to storage. The other time we spent at the cabin putting things together and helping Chewy (Jose) and Carlos with the tile. The "cabin" will be Kelly's parent's retirement home once Fred finally decides to retire. The entire cabin has tile on the floors. Imagine that? The granite counters will come sometime in the spring. Even harder to believe?! We loved the time we got to spend there and it was a much needed break for everyone. We were able to visit most evenings with Kelly's cousin Dianne and her husband Doug with kids Kara, Josh & Trent. Here's a few pictures of us working and the beautiful Alaskan Arctic Fall.

Our Utah Fall Trip

Because of all the mountains around us were changing so quickly, we decided to take a little road trip in the gangster mobile. So we went from our home in Farmington, up Trapper's Loop to Snow Basin, then back down through Morgan, East Canyon and finally out Immigration Canyon. The fall leaves and scenery were just beautiful. It was a trip that all of us enjoyed.

JJ's Six Month Appointment

Our little boy isn't so little anymore. We went to the doctor and here's the stats:
27 1/4 Inches Tall (85th Percentile)
19 lbs. 15 oz. (75th Percentile)

He was a big boy and took five shots in the legs. He wasn't too happy but we're glad he's immunized.

Just Relaxing

Kelly and the kids relaxing after long day at work.

Olivia's 4th B-Day Party

We cannot believe how fast time flies. It just seems like yesterday that Olivia was delievered by the stork. Now she's a very tall 4 years old and full of energy. Here's a few pictures of the small family get-together we had to celebrate. Thanks to everyone for all the presents.

Snuggling Family

I woke up early to go into work and discovered when I came out of the shower that I had quickly been replaced. I liked the pics of JJ snuggling Livi. This rarely happens because 3 year olds rarely hold still very long.

Utah State Fair 2006

We went to the Utah State Fair with our friends Lindsay and Mandi Workman. It was raining all day before and then after we left, but not a drop fell while we walked around. Olivia rode the pony. She was the only one when we got there (because of the weather) so she had her pick of the ponies. His name was Nephi.

There were the usual barn animals, etc. and people at booths selling "junk". We made it out with full bellies and tired legs. The best part was a "cover band" singing all evening songs from the band "Smashmouth". We made comments all night how awful the band was. The lead singer was completely off and the songs just sounded horrible. At one point we rounded the corner and on the marquee was "Smashmouth -- 7:30 p.m. We couldn't beleive it. I think there was a grand total of four people in the stands. After every song there was complete silence -- not a clap, shout, or anything.

Shh -- JJ's Sleeping

Just a cute picture that depicts how JJ sleeps. He arches his back and rolls over on his side by pushing with his leg.
