ICE STORM 2007
Here are a few pictures of the ice storm from a week ago. We were more fortunate than some and only lost power for about 1 1/2 days. But some people in Oklahoma are still without power. We missed some of the best pictures around town because we forgot our camera but needless to say if you think a tornado can do a lot of damage you would be surprised at how much damage and ice storm can do. Joe took these pictures around our house and neighborhood. Enjoy!

So we decided to take family Christmas pictures for cards this year. It only took us two different days to get one picture that we finally decided to go with. Here are a few cute ones:)

Did you say cheese? I want cheese.

What is she doing? Girls?!?

Ha ha ha that is so funny!

Happy Family:)

Darron finally got to visit Santa Clause but Alyse would have nothing to do with him. She just cried and cried. Sweet girl!

We closed on our first house on Nov. 21st. We moved everything in the day after Thanksgiving. Everything went really well and we are so happy to be in our new home. We had tons of help from family and friends and we really appreciate it. Here is a picture of the front of our home and a video of a walk thru. Enjoy:)

Fun in the SUN!

We celebrated Joe and Chris's birthdays while we were there.

Man Joe is getting OLD!

We have been quite busy lately and are grateful that things seem to be slowing down a bit now. First we had the family all come to Oklahoma for Dad's surprise birthday party and mom and dad's anniversary video unveiling. What a great time! Then we got to go to Arizona because Joe's sister Jeni was getting married. I was the creative mind behind the food and decor of course with help from Debbie and mom and the bride! But here are some pictures from our trip and so you can see how the reception turned out with the help of TEAM BRODERICK/SIDWELL. Love you all!

Happy Family! Jon, Jeni and Lindzey:)

Receptions are so much fun:)
