The Great Halloween Candy-Grab 07

Had great fun contributing to the dental decay of all the scary goblins, pirates and princesses. We had a Trunk-Or-Treat at the Stake Center. This allowed the kids to roam in a target-rich environment getting maximum reward with minimum mileage on the "ankle express". Here's some pics of the little darlings in costume:

You'll probably recognise this super hero!
And also members of the Becker clan below:





Don't know who the pirate is below. But he was always peeking out under his eye-patch.







After the festivity we visited our favorite family in Bountiful. Elizabeth looked great as a kangaroo (complete with the jumping up and down). Anna was very cuddly in the tiger suit her mom made for her. As if she wasn't too cuddly already!








I don't know about you, but I'll have whatever she's on!






Aunt Sarah's always good for a ride around the kitchen.

Welcome Hailey!

Yes, Amy is no longer pregnant. She has a nearly-10lb whopper to show for the wait. Baby Haily Elizabeth Oakeson is 21 inches and very chunky. The MD said she is stubborn. Can't imagine where she gets that from. We are all very excited and can't wait to get to know her. She likes to stretch after being cooped up for so long (below):

Check out those thighs!

Also, here is Elizabeth trying out some costumes. She really seems to like this look:

Summertime Update

It's been a long time since this blog was updated! Anyway, there have been some things up with wich we have put. But, most of the things were very nice indeed. Foremost was the arrival of Annalise to the Olsons. She is soooo "toot", as Elizabeth likes to say. For more pics of Anna, see link below:

Brent took a road trip with his Doug in July and saw some sights of scenic wonder in Wyoming and Idaho. Nice view of the Tetons from the Idaho side.

Fun at the Lambert Family reunion in August! I think we should have popped for a few more red shirts and everyone could be "with Ruth Alice". Ruth's tribe outnumbered the rest combined!

The playground was a hit with Elizabeth:

But I shouldn't have said anything to her about the loose bolts on the swing chains!

Brooklyn having fun, too:
