Zachary's Birthday Ballons

December 13th, 2008
Our family joined with many other's cross the great state of Texas and beyond to remember Zachary Ashton with spiritual birthday wishes. Each of the kids took some time planning their special wish for Zachary. We decided on colorful balloon due to the very windy, very overcast sky. Bart and Sophie, (David and Gillian's family's dogs) even joined us. Our hearts and prayers are always with you.

Zachary's Balloons

The pictures say it all....Caleb, still our avid runner woke up early last Saturday morning to go run a 5K benefiting our elementary school. I'm not sure he cares who he is running for as long as he is running. Wish some of that motivation would rub off on me.

Our Ward Christmas Party

Last Friday was our ward Christmas party. I'm sure most of ya'll have seen this scenario...the happy little family in the foreground enjoying their Christmas Eve traditions, talking about Bethlehem etc. while sweet music plays in the background....well, this year was our turn. The primary presidency wanted Emma, we're not sure she knew what she was getting with her 3 brothers in tow. We pulled it off but don't think we'll be offered the part next year...maybe they will just borrow Emma and adopt her into another family :)
