Our Final Farwell

Its official...Uncle Casey has left on his mission. All the kids will sure miss their favorite uncle and the mothers will miss their favorite babysitter! We will see Elder Baird when he returns from Indiana in November of 2009. Thanks for setting such a good example Uncle Casey. We love you!

His sisters will miss him.

Almost all of Casey nieces and nephews! How many more will there be when he returns home?

Boston was the most sad to see his uncle Casey leave!

Casey we will miss you! Remember like Brandon always says "The church is true and the book is blue."

Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

It's Sunday night and I bake some cookies for the neighbor down the street who just had a baby. I pull the cookies out of the oven then walk into the other room for about 15 mins. When I come back there are three cookies left on the pan and three boys (2 small ones and one big one) with chocolate on their mouths! I think I found who stole the cookies!

November in Arizona

Only in Arizona can you kids be outside in November playing when the sprinklers turn on. .. Yes, it was so warm that day they took off their clothes and ran through the sprinklers! Oh and yes, that is Carson wearing cowboy boots with shorts...that was the one part of his Halloween costume he couldn't part without.

Family Photo Shoot!

Last week we decided we were past due for a family photo... Thanks to our good friend Brittany in our ward this problem was taken care of. We ventured out one evening prior to sunset , taking this photo shoot on location at the local community park! Boy was this fun! A few things I learned...always get your hair done the day of pictures, it makes getting ready much quicker! Make sure you plan naps and snacks around the picture time so everyone is happy & never wear white to the park when taking pictures! Thanks Brittany for pulling us through this adventure, you were awesome! Enjoy the photos (there were about 200+ pictures in all!)
