Family pics were taken yesterday. WE had a couple precious moments of happiness before Colton decided that he had enough of sitting still in my lap and being happy. Overall, we had a couple pics that turned out really nice.
As far as recent news in concerned, after the last several months of doing everything in our power to sell our houses and move, we decided to just take our time and stick in our house for awhile. We are planning on staying put for at least the next year and a half and are feeling very good about sticking around. We love our house, we love our neighbors and ward family. It feels like home so we may as well make it home.
Kari is going to be staying home with the kids in the very near future. Her schedule has been too demanding on her her and has not allowed the kids an opportunity to make and play with friends in the neighborhood. By moving them to the school closest to our house, they will have an opportunity to make new friends in their classes that they can also play with after school in the neighborhood. WE are very excited to have some additional family time every night and we feel that this will only help strengthen our new family.
Cam has been very excited and we are happy to say that his new bedroom was just finished. He has the cooelst room with the exception of his and Kari's choice in decor, BYU theme...I'm getting over it and will try to spend as little time in his room as possible. I actually threw up in my mouth a little when I bought him a mini BYU helmet and pennant at Fanzz. I have never felt more filthy than I did at that time. He moved into his room on Saturday and is very happy not to be sleeping on the couch anymore!
As a closing note, Santa made a surprise appearance to our house on Saturday and brought each kid a board game to play before Christmas. It was a nice treat for the kids and each of them were preemptively awarded for their "good behavior" (debateable) this past year. In all seriousness, we are so blessed to have 6 beautiful, caring and loveable kids. They get along so well all the time and really add so much joy to our household. WE are done with Christmas shopping and are looking forward to bright smiling faces on Christmas morning! Happy Holidays to all our friends and family, and may the Lord bless you this coming year!

ps. We still need to hang out! Txt Darrin and tell him to get moving and plan something. He has the 24th-3rd off - perfect time to get together!
Go Cam and Kari. And go BYU! Did you see that blowout tonight? Awesome pics by the way!
For the record, Kari is NOT a BYU fan. She just loves her son. If it continues, she will have to make a very important decision!
What a good lookin family...congrats Justin!
