Lily’s first gingerbread house

Lily made her first gingerbread house this week. True most of the candy she ate, but it was still a ton of fun.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!!! This year Lily was a Uof U cheerleader and Sam was a BYU football player. I am a BYU fan, but my sister Keeley got this costume for Lily to spite me. And I will admit it is too cute to no use. So we balanced it out with Sam. They loved halloween. Lily was a basket case and loved every minute of it, and Sam was just happy to be out and about. He is such a mellow baby. So easy going.

At the Zoo with Daddy and Uncle Dallin

A few weeks ago Keith took the kids to the Zoo with his brother Dallin so that I could study for my finals. They had tons of fun.

Lily loves the Rhinos.
Lily and Daddy, but which one is the monkey?

7 months and on the move

Our little man just turned 7 months!!! I can't believe how fast it has gone past. He has gotten so big. He has also just started crawling this week. It took him a day or two, but now he is a real speed racer.

Halloween time

My m0m took some Halloween pictures of the kids in their back yard a few days ago

More pictures from Keith

I am not sure all the details of these pictures. He just sent them to me. But ignor the odd date on the pictures. I think the camera is confused, or just mad because I would not let him take the nice one, so now it is feeling 2nd best.

3 going on 16

My sister Jennifer was helping her sister in law move, and they were getting rid of this cute little car because it didn't work. Jenn and John being sweet, fixed it up and gave it to Lily. She loves it.

Our little missionary

Today when I was getting the kids ready for church I found this onsie that my mom bought Sam. It was perfect for Sunday. It a white onsie with a tie sewn on and a little missionary name tag. It was adorable.

The Neiswender Wedding

Tues August 12, 2008 James and Lauren were married in the Logan temple. It was a beutiful wedding, the food was wonderful, and the company even better. When everyone is all together it is easy to see how they have all stayed friends for so long.


After the temple sealing, they had a ring ceramony for those that could not make it to the temple.

crazy Russ, he was doing a little dance for Keith.

The car. I think they did a good job this time. nothing overboard.

Sam has had kind of a hard time with eating solids until today. He went nuts for sweet potatos

What a hard life the Air Force is. HAHA

As many of you know, Keith is deployed again. Many of you know where, but I was asked to not spread it to far by someone else in his unit. He did send home some pictures to share. He is doing well and wishes he were home with us. Hopefully soon he will be.

Sunday Fun

Today Keith had drill so I took the kids to church by myself. But as I was getting Lily ready I stumbled upon a dress that my dad bought for Lily the last time he was in Korea with the military, and we have been waiting for her to grow into. It was so cute. And she knew she was a princess today and was so worried about getting her pretty pink dress dirty.

I have finally gotten the A OK to borrow my father in laws bike and start riding it to work. I am so excited. Riding it is addicting. And it is a big bonus that it is such a pretty bike.

The world according to Lily

While I was uploading the pictures from the camera I found a bunch of random pictures that Lily had taken when I was at work a few days ago. I thing they are great because, for one they are not too bad considering they were taken by a 3 year old. And secondly, she only took pictures of things that she liked, or meant something to her. I have to say I am very impressed by my little prodigy.

This is also the last time we have seen Keiths keys.

Samuel's first camping trip

So this weekend we went camping with a few friends, Vairin, Marie and Elsa Wall, John Powell and his girlfriend Danielle. And Scott Silver and Crystal. I was so much fun.

We made Lily some binoculars out of toilet paper rolls. She thought it was the coolest thing to try to spot animals with them.

Sam being so cute. He takes after his daddy and loves camping.

4th of July

I love the 4th of July. BBQ'S and fireworks, what else do you need in life? This 4th, Keith taught me how to ride a motorcycle. And holy cow it's addicting. We rode all the way to Alpine and back. It was amazing, but my arms are now burnt like a crispy critter. I think the best part was when Keith had to sneeze while his face sheild was down, not a good idea. I laughed so hard I thought I was going to fall off my bike. Later we did fire works at Keiths parents. Lily liked to watch, but was not so thrilled about the sparklers. Her special job was to pick what firework we lit next. she took it very seriously. She had to examine the box carefully before making her choice. Sam loved the fireworks. He would cry every time we stopped to light another one, and would giggle the whole time it was going. it was so much fun.
