A sleigh ride

Dad and the kids went on a sleigh ride with Grandma and Grandpa Chantry (Mom was sick). Everyone had a ball. Nathan loved watching the elk come eat right off the sleigh, and everyone enjoyed seeing puppies afterwards.

It's Christmas Time

We are all excited for Christmas. The kids had their last day of school today, so the next few days get to be all about Christmas fun. We will have a party with their friends tomorrow; Very low key, more like a fancy playdate. It is just us and one family with three kids. The mom and I thought it would be a great way to spend the morning after school was done! Sunday is a party with Grandma Houghton, then we hope to visit Jen's Grandma and grandpa Call on Monday morning to say hello and "Merry Christmas!"

Jen can't wait until monday evening. Dinner, the Christmas story, and the Poalr Express have become our Christmas Eve traditions and we are all looking forward to it.

Have a wonderful weekend!

These pictures are from our trip to Temple Square in early December.

Malan's Peak Hike

Here are some pictures from our day-after-Thanksgiving hike to Malan's Peak in Ogden.

School PIctures

The kids brought home school pictures yesterday and they turned out so cute. Maybe it is because I am their mom, but I can sure see their personalities come through. And Grandmas, we have copies all ready for you so you will have some for your frames or fridges!

Some favorite Fall pics

I have enjoyed this fall with Megan and Michael. WE walk to the school a couple of times a week to get Nathan and a kindergarten friend and we enjoy the nice weather and crunching leaves!

Halloween Preview 2007

So here we are at the Hallowienie party for our ward on Saturday. The kids loved getting into their costumes and having fun with their friends. Flight commander Chantry's costume was out of this world, while Liz preferred to be under the sea. Michael fought fires and Megan was sweet enough to eat. Though her tomato hat lasted only long enough for the pictures. Our picture with our new family member (Jack O'Lantern Chantry, Jack for short) is a bit blurry, but the kids love it. They were so proud to pick him out from amongst the masses of pumpkins at the store. He was a whopping 23 pounds!

Just a funny note. I am typing this and Nathan is looking over my shoulder reading every word. There is no hiding anything from my kids now that they can read. They are alls o smart!

Happy Fall

Happy Fall to all! The leaves are chaning and we had our fall break from school, the weather is turning chilly and Halloween is coming. It is definately fall! We had a fun weekend in Ogden and the kids enjoyed being out with the chanign and falling leaves. HEre are pictures of them on a rock in Grandma and Grandpa Chantry's front yard. Hope you are all well.
