Tag - you are it. and other stuff.

As many of you know I NEVER follow through on a tag...but there is always a first. My dearest and best friend Stacy tagged me on this one...so this one is for you Stac.
here are the rules:
1. Go to your documents/pictures
2. Go to your 6th file.
3. Go to your 6th picture.
4. Blog about it.
5. Tag 6 people to do the same.


This is a picture from our first trip to Peru in May of 2007. If I remember right this was the first village we went to. On that mission we traveled to villages off of the amazon river only accessible by boat. In the villages we set up medical, vision and dental clinics. It was a life-changing experience and we are so grateful that we had the opportunity to go, and return there again with my family the following year. The people in Peru are so beautiful and sweet. But for anyone who knows me I was especially in love with the children!

I tag:
1. Jenn Tullis
2. Brie Wheelwright
3. Mary Evans
4. Collette Goodman
5. Wendy How
6. Kristin Augustus


To appease my mother and others who have reminded us that we have not blogged in a while I will take this opportunity to do a quick catch up in pictures.
Since I last blogged Dave and I had the opportunity to go home for Thanksgiving:Kick off.

My brothers, Dave and a group of their friends played in their first annual "Turkey Bowl" Here are dad and I watching them play. We ate lots of food and had a great time with our friends and family.
About a week later Dave had his White Coat Ceremony:


He is so-o Handsome!!

Both our parents flew down for the Ceremony. We are all so proud of Dave and all his hard work. We loved having our parents in town. It was a great weekend!!
We didn't go very long without seeing family. Just a couple weeks later we returned to Utah for Christmas. It was so great being with everyone again for the holidays. I had the chance to catch up with some old friends:


My dear friends Jessica Bott and Stacy Moss Stevens (mentioned above). We have been friends for over 10 years. I absolutely love these girls and it was so good to catch up with them while we were in town!
Since everyone was in town we also took LOTS of family pictures.
Johnston Family. Taken at my parent's home. Thank you Stacy you are the best!! Isn't my mom's tree so cute! And just for clarification my nephew sitting on my sister's lap is just pulling a weird face he does not have CP.

Freestone Family. This was taken out doors, it was very cold that day and the sun shining off of the snow was very bright (thus Thomas' eyes) also, Lilly is being smushed....but considering the circumstances all of the kids were being great sports!
After the Holidays we returned back to real life. We have been so busy with work and school that January just flew by. Dave celebrated his 27th Birthday!! We ate out (Thanks mom and dad Freestone) which for us is a big treat and Dave took the night off from studying.
So now we are caught up...till next time!
