Family Christmas Party

Gingerbread making the Cather way.

Loved having the Dennis Johnson Family over, They are Dan's Cousins and families

Super Saturday

I have made many friends thanks to my new calling in my new ward, I am a member of the R.S. activities committee. We were each in charge of a project. Mine is at the end of this post but here is a snap shot of the great Ladies that were there. So fun.

Service project

Making paper crafts

here is my project

Small and cute is what I was going for.

Something beautiful about a table made up for a special dinner. I love the look of the foods and plates, it is always comforting to know that for one more day we are going to eat.
Sophia at her Thanksgiving feast in Kindergarten. She had so much fun she wore her Indian girl costume for the rest of the day.
Her Kindergarten friends.

Pumpkin, ghouls and fun

I don't know what they are dressing up as but they had fun trick or treating to friends houses.
He looks pretty creepy here, that's the look he was going for.
Miss Scarlet! Miss Scarlet! She loved being a Southern Belle and being pretty all day.

At the Big Red Barn's Hay ride to the pumpkin patch. We saw a lot of Santaquin friends too it was so fun.



The Men are getting ready to bring home the venison, No luck this year but the hunt was very adventurous. Call them up to get more details.

Kaitlyn and her homecoming date. Kait picked this dress mostly because she wants to take some ballet pictures in it as soon as she gets on point, which should be soon. Her date is Zane from ALA, he is on the football team and they are good friends.

Our new home

This pic was taken before the carpet was laid, so not quite complete

It's like living in a dream, We have been in here for 2 months and still can't find anything annoying or buggy about this. Now to furnish and decorate. not my favorite thing.

update on the house. Aug. 4th

Panoramic view of the front of our new house. It is not that round in real life ;)

The master bathroom cabinets, looking good! A little different than what I expected but I love it.

My brick combo turned out perfect. It will be a great picture wall, the fireplace will have the same rock.

Love, Love, Love the way the kitchen and wall colors are looking. So excited to see it finished tomorrow.

Waiting out side of the Otis Cafe, our favorite breakfast tradition. We never forget marion berry pies, we got three this year to help celebrate Jenni's birthday.

Happy Bear pancakes, yummy.

Looking at some capes at Cape Meares Lighthouse

too cute

Levi loved the water so much despite it's freezing temperature, I finally realized after getting two pairs of shorts wet that he will be getting in the water every time. He wore swim shorts the rest of the time, I'm glad I brought a lot.


Grandpa Mann showing off his live fish bait, the girls say:ewww, the fish say: yum.



These two were also glued to the hip from morning till night, they love to do almost all the same things and had so much fun the whole week.

Just so you know Dan and I and Sheree were there we just didn't get too many pictures of ourselves. Sheree spent her time with Aunt Hayley, Cousin Kelsey and Aunt Bekah. Maybe they took pictures which I will post later.

Our new house.

As of June 1st this is how our house is coming along. So many decisions yet to make but very exciting.

Prom 2011

Pre-date fun on the 4-wheelers, they got sooo muddy which adds to the fun.
