Happy Halloween

This year was the first year that AnaBelle was able to go trick-or-treating. She loved it! She was so happy that everyone was giving her candy! Now the only problem is that she wants to eat it all the time.

This past month I was able to go back to St. Louis for a quick visit with family to help my parents move. Here is a picture of my sisters' kids.

Here is a picture of the home I grew up in. My parents recently sold it to move to Utah, where they will be building a new home.

This is a view out my back deck. Soon the view will include my parents' new home.

We finally got my parents settled into our home over the past couple of weeks. They are currently living in our basement until their new home is finished being built. We are hoping to have the home done in February, but have had quite a few delays getting started.

I can't believe it is November already. Where has the year gone?

Six Years

A few weeks ago Ritchell and I celebrated six years of marriage! We went up to Park City and had a good time together with our girls. We had a nice lunch and then went up the mountain on the chair lift. It was a first for both of us.

It's hard to believe that it has been six years. We are starting to feel like we're getting older faster. I still love her more than anything! I'm proud to have such a wonderful woman to share my life with!

Summer

Well...it's about time for an update. This summer just flew bye! A lot has been going on. Ritchell quit working in July and we've finally had a lot of time together as a family since I have been out of work as well since the end of May.

We have started a new career as day traders. It has been a rough start, but we're hopeful that things will work out eventually.

Our little girls are growing fast. We're so glad that we're able to enjoy spending our days with them watching them learn and grow.

My parents will start building their new home in our neighborhood within the next few days and should be able to move in around Christmas. I will be mananging the construction of their home and am excited for the project to begin.

Vanessa had her baby blessing at church earlier this month. Here is a picture of her in her dress.

Here are some more cute pics of our newest little girl. We are so lucky to have her!

The past month has been busy. We celebrated Ana's second birthday twice. We have been enjoying time with my parents who have been in town. We are enjoying the spring/summer weather. Life is good! Here are some pics of what we've been up to.
