A Child's Faith

I posted about this on Facebook, but wanted to put it here as well to remember it.

I was watching the news yesterday after the bombs went off at the Boston Marathon.  I only knew one person running in the race, but it's scary for all of those people.  I just felt so bad about it.  I was kind of explaining to Macie what was happening.  Later, we were driving home from gymnastics, and Macie asked my why bombs don't come to Star Valley.  I was telling her how we live in a small town and a lot of times things like that don't happen here, but they could.  She just said, "Probably Jesus is protecting us."  It was so sweet, and I couldn't have said it better.  :)

Getting Ready!

Decorating the tree.

Santa came to the library.  Here's Macie.  Noah wasn't interested.  :)

Wadsworth Family Pics

So after Sam got home from his mission and before Ethan left, we had to get a picture of the Wadsworth side of the family. Here we are!

Thought this was a great one of Noah.  :)

Skyler, Miranda, and Sydney.

Syd and Jude.  These kiddos are two months apart.

And all of us.  Not a bad lookin group!  :)

Getting the Tree!

The day after Thanksgiving, Cody called and said they were coming our way to get their Christmas tree. We went with them. There wasn't much snow, so it didn't take very long, but it was lots of fun! Here's Dustin and Noah checking out the tree.

Dustin cutting it down.  Get right in there!

Lilli, Macie, and Carly.

Jude looks SO sad!  But this picture is so cute!  :)

Cody's kids and mine.  Kristy Mae, Lilli, Carly, Noah, Dallin, Macie, Jude, and Kate.

Thanksgiving 2012

This year we had Thanksgiving with my family at Kristy's house. Everyone was there on the Walters' side. That never happens...and who knows if it'll ever happen again!  Here are my siblings.

All the grandkids except Noah.  He had been SO grumpy, and had JUST fallen asleep.  I wish I would have woken him up, though.  But that's why we have photoshop, right?  I just have to find someone to photoshop him in.  :)

Everyone except Peni and Noah.

Cousins.  Jayci, Carly, Macie, Addi.

And my little Jude!

It was SO fun being together with family...as always.  Love you all!

Halloween 2012

 Where we live now, people don't do a ton of trick-or-treating, so we hit up a couple trunk-or-treats instead.  Worked out great!  We didn't have time to carve our pumpkins earlier, so we carved them Halloween night!

 Noah not loving the goop inside. :)

Sam's Homecoming

Dustin's little brother, Sam, got home from his mission from Jackson, Mississippi.  Again, pretty sure he's too little for all of this.  I think he was 11 or something when Dustin and I started dating.  :)

I love this picture because it has Dustin's Grandma and Grandpa Wadsworth, and Grandma and Grandpa Merrill.
