Elder Larsen...

So today Eric's family (his Mom, Dad, and little sister Bethany) left for Bolivia. Eric's brother Jake is on his mission there and they went to pick him up! They are spending almost 2 weeks there with him and then bringing him home....we can not wait!!! Its weird to think that he has been gone for 2 years. A lot has changed, but it has gone by soooo fast. Its seems unreal that in 2 weeks we will be sitting at the airport waiting for him to come off that plane. We have gotten so used to life without him that it will be weird when he is here...whats more weird is the fact that he has 3 nephews born in the last 2 years that he has not met. We can not wait to see him again...We miss you Jake!!

GiRLs NiGhT!

Last night we had some of the neighborhood girls come over for a PuNk ROck NiGht. Everyone dressed up as punks and we played Guitar Hero and Rock Band. It was so funny to see all of these Moms dressed up and rockin' out to Nirvana and Rage Against the Machine!! We did a competition on Guitar Hero and my sister Elan won!! Also there was a prize for the best costume which went to Carrie Bischoff!!! All in all I think this night might just become a regular event. Sorry to those that couldn't come, I promise we will do this again!

The Whole "Band"....




The Finalist...Elan vs. Lindsey!



The Winners Elan and Carrie!



Steffanie's new calling is to be a drummer, she gets the award for best performance!!




Thanks everyone for such a fun night!!!

Finally!!

Here are Tatum's 10 month pictures. We went to this photographer in Provo right before Christmas and we finally got them back!! We are so excited about them and think they turned out great. Tatum was all smiles for the first little bit, but soon became grumpy...fortunately we were able to get some good shots!

My POOR Car...

So Last night I was on my way to Orem to go to a Flash Basketball game when my gas light came on. I thought to myself "I could probably make it to Orem, but to be safe I will stop and get some gas". I stop at the Maverik down the street from my house and was bugged that it was so busy because I was in a bit of a hurry to get to the game on time. Well I found an open pump which was around the back side of the gas station. So I pull around to the back when a lady starts to back up out of her pump and doesn't even look behind her when....Smack! She runs right into me!!! I saw it coming, and was honking at her and tried to get out of the way fast enough, but sure enough she t-boned me right on the drivers side of my car. I was really scared because I had my baby with me and the passenger door was completely smashed in. Everyone was ok....except for my car! Look at the damage she left....

Tatums 2nd debut!!!

On Monday I took Tatum to his 2nd modeling job! Darla took my engagement, bridals and wedding pictures and is now looking to transition from doing mostly weddings to doing more studio work. She saw a picture of Tatum and said he would be perfect for a free photo shoot. So I took Tatum to her studio where she took some amazing shots that only took 30 minutes because Tatum was all smiles!

WE ARE BACK!!

Our Holidays are officially OvEr! We have had so much fun over this holiday vacation. After an awesome Christmas at our house, we drove down to California with my family. We spent almost a full week down there and had a blast. Here is our trip in a nutshell...

We went to see the La Cañada Rose Parade float...

We got up at 6:00am to go to the annual Rose Parade in Pasadena...

Went to the Santa Monica beach...

Ate at the original Hot Dog on a Stick...

Went to get the famous and ridiculously expensive but delicious Sprinkles Cupcakes...

Walked around ritzy Rodeo Drive...

Saw the LA Temple...


Flew home...

Overall we had a great trip, it was so nice to get away for a while. We were ready to come home but sad to leave the nice 75 degree weather and Tatum was happy to sleep in his own bed again.
