Brenna's New Hair Cut

Hunemiller Christmas Party

Hunemiller Christmas Party

The first weekend in December, we loaded up the kids and went up to Boise to see my Dad's side of the family. We haven't been up to Boise in about a year since my dad has started spending spring, summer, and fall in Angel Fire New Mexico. We were very busy making ornaments for his tree, picking out a Christmas tree, going to the annual family party and even making a surprised visit to the ER. We had a really great time spending time with Grandpa Hunemiller and Niki. We had a nice time seeing my aunts, uncles and many cousins. Grams and Gramps actually paid for the party this year. They both have long since passed away, but funds from an oil stock keep coming to the trust fund. Lucky us! The trip to the ER lead to a night in the hospital for my Dad, which was the first time he has ever been in the hospital in all of his 63 young years. He is doing much better and he seems to really like his doctor. I will not go into detail but I will say thank goodness for yearly check-ups, and people who are dedicated to patient care. Merry Christmas everybody!

Christmas Concert

Rising Stars Christmas Concert

This past weekend the boys entertained us with thier annual Rising Stars Christmas concert. They were so dang handsome. Honestly, they are easy to find in the pictures because they are the most handsome boys on the entire stage! We had a fun time watching them dance and sing. Even Cameron enjoyed the concert this year!

Grandpa & Grandma go to MTC

Today we drove Elder and Sister Whitehead to the MTC (Missionary Training Center). I guess you could say this is the first day of their mission to the West Indies as Humanitarian Missionaries. from what I understand they will be at the MTC for roughly 10 days, then fly to the Dominican Republic MTC for additional training. After that is completed they will travel to the country of Guyana (just east of Venezuela) and officially begin! I've included a picture of our experience today, if you are craving mo9re please check out their blog (link toward the top of this page). Both Cameron and I are so excited for them! We know that they as well as our family will truly be blessed for their sacrifice and hard work. Personally I have never felt the spirit so strong as I have since they received their call. I'll try and keep you up to date. While I do that, encourage your own parents and in-laws to go on a mission!

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!!!

OK, I did not wait that long to go outside and get some pictures of our lights. Personally, I think that they look pretty good. Heck, our Christmas lights are on and it's not even Thanksgiving yet. I do it all for the love of the season!

You better watch out! You better not cry. You better not pout, I'm telling you why. The Whitehead's are coming to town.

Actually, this does not even compare with Preston's festival of lights. However, we are the current holders of the most lights on display down our street. YES!!!

Holiday Memories 06'-07'

Getting Ready For Christmas

I finished decorating the outside of our house for the holidays this past weekend. Yea! As soon as I find the time I will take a picture of my master piece for all of you to see. Currently I am updating and decorating my blog for the holidays as well. I just love Christmas don't you?

Spooky!!

Here is a tid-bit of our Halloween fun! Our good friend Jake Sorensen handed out candy and talked to the trick-or treaters about good oral hygiene. The children made out like bandits with arm loads of candy. (For those of you who don't know: You can double click on a picture and it will enlarge on your screen. (Thought you'd like to know Mom!))

Halloween Night

Is this not the coolest thing you have ever seen on Halloween? We were just getting ready to leave the trunk-or-treat in Lewiston when this beautiful headless horseman and his horse trotted into the parting lot. I say beautiful because this horse and his master were not the least bit scary, but down right georgous and amazing to look at. I bet you can not top this headless horesman!

Pumpkin Carving

This year we got smart since the weather has been fantastic and carved pumpkins out on the back patio. Our pumpkins turned out so cute (oh ...maybe I should say scary). The children had a good time carving (well I carved them) drawing their faces on the pumpkins and pulling out their guts. I think Cameron had a pretty good time as well. His pumpkin is the one that says "Boo". This year Caden will be a pirate, Braken will be Dracula, Brenna is a cheerleader, and dog darling is a witch. We are going to a ward party tonight so it will be the first of many costume parties, I think Brenna has been to three already. Have a SPOOKY HALLOWEEN!!!

Caden & Braken - Football 08'

Caden & Braken started flag football this fall in Smithfield. They have absolutely loved playing and learning the game. During one game Braken ran a 50 yard touchdown. He was so excited that he could hardly stand himself. He kept asking everyone on the sidelines, "Did you know that I made that touchdown?" (over and over again). Caden became an excellent safety and good reciever as well. By the last few games he was pulling off just about everyones flag. (If you had the football that is.) Cameron was so excited to see his boys play that he helped out with coaching every practice. He must feel like he is in his element coaching football, because he really got in to it! "Living the dream through his sons."

Fall 08'

Finally we found the time to take some family pictures with Karlie included. It only took us a year and a half but we made it. Cameron's parentsare going on a mission to the West Indies on December 1st, and I thought this would be a great way for them to keep up with the ongoings of our small family. Since I am new to this blog stuff please be patient. I'm hoping to get a few things figured out soon.
A few weeks ago I took the children up Strawberry Canyon and took some fallish pictures. The kids had a great time! we barely made it back before the first snow of the year began to fall. While hiking around we found some interesting deer legs? Why would there be only two deer legs perfectly cut off and discarded? Where were the other two my children wanted to know. I'm not a hunter and had absolutely no idea why those legs were there, but the children thought they were "gross" and "cool". Enjoy the wonderful weather while it lasts!
