The Children of Our World

First day of school. The boys are doing pretty well, despite some first week jitters, especially from Elijah as he tries to adjust to 1st grade and all day school. He had a rough week and we hope it gets better. Carson is in 3rd grade and so far, so good. Clarissa gets to stay home with mommy, but she likes to put on her back pack and pose anyway...


Carson has always been our climb-everything-monkey-boy. He also has the ability to take flight...

Elijah being Elijah. High energy and high goofiness. He doesn't slow down much...

Clarissa is currently 17% angel and 83% sassy trouble maker. She thinks she rules the house (in some ways she does), but she's adorable and we love her...

I was playing around with some close ups, and thought some of them turned out pretty good...

10 Years

Christina and I celebrated our 10th anniversary last week. We went to Las Vegas. It was a nice, relaxing time away from the kids. They had a fun few days with Grandma and Grandpa Jones.

Hard to believe that 10 years have passed since that hot August day at the Portland Temple. We feel very blessed to be where we are in life.

Here we are in Venice...

Las Vegas Temple...

Our complimentary anniversary dessert at Ruth's Chris...

Some volcano started going off in the middle of town...

This would be us...

Greeted enthusiastically at the airport. The kids missed us. Guess they like us afterall...
