Christmas Vacation in Colorado

More pictures to come. All I can say is that I love my family and feel so grateful for the time we were able to stay with them. I am always sad to go but feel grateful for the memories which we were able to make.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Wow, I cannot believe it is that season. The wonderful season of Family, Reflection, Snow, Christ and Love. It has been such a wonderful year; a year of growth, trials of our Country, and personal triumph. We would like to wish you all the JOYS of the season. May Jesus Christ be the center of our homes and may we have peace in our lives. We love and miss all of our family and friends far way.
Lots of Love,

Ben, Telia, Aeden and Baby

Happy November!

We would like to extend to all a happy November. This year has flown by so fast that I can not believe that it is here. I am so excited for Thanksgiving. I want to even start making pies and a turkey, but I will wait.

Getting our home ready for Thanksgiving, we naturally put away all of the Halloween decorations. Within those decorations, there was a spider web and 2 spiders that were big and were place in our window. Every time my nephew, Eli, would come over, he would cautiously walk around making sure he never got anywhere remotely close to the spider. Well today, when he came over, he immediately noticed that the spider was gone. His instant relief relaxed his whole body, then said, "telia's home is safe now." My sister then explained that the spider went away because halloween was over and that maybe telia might have to have a Snowman or Turkey. Eli looked at me and said, "ya, i don't want a snowman." Poor kids. The things they deal with. So here are some pictures from Halloween. Aeden was a shark this year. We did dress him up in as Piglet for a little while, which he did not enjoy. He did enjoyed his Shark costume and was a really good shark because he now has 6 teeth, which are razor sharp and he used them to bit me. So I thought it would be good for him to be a shark and I would be a diver. We love this holiday.

NYC was wonderful!

Aeden, the boy, the legend

YEAH BABY!!! I'm on solid foods!

People keep saying that Aeden looks a lot like Tracy. I'll let you be the judge.

NYC and the TODAY show!

We are going to NYC!! Me, Sierra, Ann-Marie (Dental School friend/Photographer), and Aeden, Sierra's two boys, Eli and Wesley, and Ann-Marie's boys, Levi and Isaac. So that is 3 moms and 5 kids!
