November 2012

Blake and Derek continued their tradition of winning at the annual Reflections art contest.

We decorated for Christmas right after Thanksgiving.

Halloween 2012

Here are some shots from Halloween.

We hit the Nightmare Express train this year. A local family has a train that runs around their property with really elaborate decorations. (That's a big understatement.) The kids loved it.

Texas Trip 2012

It's been a long, long time since I've posted so I'm going to try and catch up quickly. Last October we went on a road trip to Texas. I attended a conference for work but we made a big vacation out of it. We stopped at a lot of places on the way there and on the way back. We also got to spend a lot of time with Grandpa Slief and Grandma Yim. We took a lot of photos....

We stopped at Carlsbad Caverns. 

We stopped at the "Hole in the rock" near Moab.

We stopped at Arches National Park.

Brandon fell down and skinned his knees.

We also stopped at another arch.

We went spent the night at Mesa Verde and then visited this site.

The "littles" did some shopping in Texas. It was no surprise that Katelyn came home with a stuffed kitten that she named "Texas Kitty" and Brandon got a cowboy rope and a sheriff's badge with his name on it.
