Well we took some time and spend a wonder week in Park City and enjoyed the beautiful winter that it offered. There was much to do. Anna and Cole stayed with Grandma Jane for the first two nights while Lori and Corbin got a much needed rest and relaxation. We then got the kids back and did alot of good stuff. We went tubbing at Gorgaza Park for three strait days, Went to the Olympic Park, went on a very cold but beautiful horse pulled sleigh ride, made ginger bread houses with Grandma Esplin, played in the snow with the Wong Kids (Macare and Maya), and went on the Polar Express (Heber Creeper) with Grandma Jane. We had a great time and enjoyed every minute of the trip!

Leaves in Georgia

Well the leaves in Georgia do not fall too fast or turn the prettiest shades of color, but that does not matter to the kids who loved wrecking the neighbors hard leaf pile work!

Cole's Birthday (3)

Cole had a big birthday party and he has now promised that he is three that he will no longer suck his thumb because he is a "big boy!" I think if you looked at the parties from afar, one would wonder if Anna's and Cole's were the same planning event!

Happy Birthday Anna (5)

Anna had her 5th birthday today and it was fun. We had a great birhtday party with lots of friends over for the "Lady Bug Party." We had games, pizza, cake, and everyone got live lady bugs to take home and let out. Anna is sure growing up to be a very sweet girl who seems to be responsible.....let's just hope we can keep her that way when the boys start to come around!!!!

Thanksgiving at Judd's on Lady's Island, SC

Cute kids!!!! We went to Judd and Steph's for Thanksgiving and had a good time. Too much food!!!!! Lori made the best pies and I will pay for that!!!! I think she does it on purpose.

Family Pictures

Uniform

Corbin's Picture in Uniform

Anna put this card under my pillow!

It is the best when your child tells you they love you!

Cole

Here is one picture from Cole at School. To me he seems so grown up in this picture.

Library Fair in Savannah

We took the day and went to Savannah at Forseyth Park which is very beautiful. Cole fell asleep about 5 minutes from parking so we let him sleep (we me as we both took a peaceful nap) and Anna and Lori went out and ventured with the public. It was a fun time. Cole and I finally woke up and hit the park where Cole as always, mingled with the bigger kids and Anna did the monkey bars endlessly.

Thanksgiving at School

Well we had lunch with Anna and Cole's school at the Methodist Church. It was quite the time. The school is great and the kids love it. It is great for them to learn about the teachings of Jesus even if Anna told me the other day that since she went to school at Methodist, she must be Methodist. We just laughed!!!

Anna loves to make pictures and cards

I just wanted to put a copy of a picture that Anna drew.....as a parent, I am amazed at the pictures and cards she makes........I love the detail of the shirt with the girl jumping rope.

Get Together

JJ, Corbin, and Gabe

Early November

Well, early November has been great. The kids went to a school field trip which Lori went on also, since they obviously did not do these things in the great metropolis of Mt Carmel, UT.....ha ha, but anyway, they went to a small farm and enjoyed some good times.....I had to add the picture of Cole with my old pair of surgical glasses on......I guess he is either destined for surgery or just blind......

Bugs in Georgia

Never too many bugs in Georgia in the summer and fall. This is good b/c Anna and Cole have always been fascinated with Bugs.

Halloween

Halloween was quite busy for the Partridge Family. There were parties at school, cookie decorating at friends, pumpkin carving at home and of course lots of candy to eat. Halloween Night in our Georgia neighborhood was quite the sight, as always there were about a gazillion kids bused in from everywhere and dropped off on one end to walk through to the other end. All in all Anna and Cole had a great time. Cole got tired and said he wanted to go take a bath, but Anna made the most of it.
