Gethsemane Christs gift to us

This video was very touching to me. We shared it as our song for Family Home Evening. I felt all of you could benefit from it as much as we did. It really always puts life into perspective for me once again. It seems I need to many constant reminders of what really matters on the eternal scheme of things.

Our Homemade Nativity

I was Joseph and Covina was Mary. She was pretty tired. The Wisemen were very special and brought great gifts to the Babe.

Here are the shepherds listening to our little angel. She was directing them where they needed to go to see the New Born King.

Our Nativity Scene

Madison was our little Angel for our Nativity pageant. This is what she wanted to wear. Allie and Lindsey were our shepherds. Conner was a retro sorta wiseman. We were lacking some costume wear so the kids did their own designing.

Allie was excited about her new sport jacket she got for Christmas and she was just excited to be all together for Christmas. (we were lacking our other little Marchant Family)

I love spending alot of time with the kids when there are not so many things taking them away from the home and screaming for their attention.

Christmas Time

These are some fun pictures Christmas Eve. Covina just arrived from the airport and was a little woosy and tired but still full of fun and everyone excited to see their sister.

Allie got LIndsey some Toledo boomer sweats which are a novelty around these neck of the woods.

Isaiah and Madison excited to see the fun things mom and dad and others had gotten them. It was fun to see how greatful and happy they were to be thought of.

MAdison loved her new little barbie and Conner was just having fun opening presents.

The Princess and The Frog

We went to see the Princess and the Frog from Disney. Lindsey, Madison and Isaiah dressed the part for the movie. Dont they look like royalty!!!!!! The movie is great and the music really makes it.

Fun family memories

Madison in front of the Temple. Her and Conner always get to touch the Temple when they meet Grandma and Grandpa to take them while we go do Temple work. This time all the kids from Isaiah on up were in doing Baptisms for the dead. It was Isaiah first time. He loved it. Lindsey just got a perm and a color. She looks beautiful as always.

Conner just got his wolf ranking in scouts. Dad got to turn him upside down to pin on his little badge. He was pretty excited about this accomplishment. And Allie celebrated her 18th birthday at Chevys with a balloon bouquet from her daddy. And Madison was just looking darling on her way to preschool that we just had to get a picture.

Madison singing to her animal friends

She is such a sweet mother!
