Halloween 2006

Jude was Squirt the Sea Turtle from Finding Nemo.

We had our 2nd Annual Murder Dinner Party this year. Since we are too old to go trick or treating but still love dressing up we do these parties. This years theme was "The Icicle Twist" and was set at a ski resort in 1984. I was a Doctor, Trevan was a Body-Builder, Brooke was a Flight Attendent, Dustin was a Ski Shop Owner, Paige was an Heiress, Brad was a Detective, Nannie was a Party Girl, and my Dad was the Head of the Security Department. Of course my Mom goes above and beyond the call of duty and prepares a delictable meal with a course for ever chapter of the murder. We are already looking forward to next years event.

Paige's Wedding

Nate and Paige were married August 24th 2006 in the Salt Lake Temple. It was a sweet ceremony and a great event. The day before the ceremony we had a "girls only" spa day at Sego Lily Spa and the Groom's Dinner that night at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. It was a surreal experience seeing Paige getting married. Isn't she still 14 and overly obsessed with Radiohead? She was absolutely stunningly beautiful. Over the past few months I have gotten to know Nate and I love him. They are a handsome couple and I wish the two of them the best of luck and all the happiness in the world!

Happy Birthday Trevan

We had a birthday party for Trevan's 25th birthday at my parents house and it was so much fun. Both of our families were there and there was great food, fantastic Costco cake, and an intense football game.

I love my husband and I am so glad he was born.

Jackson Hole 2006

Jackson Hole has been a part of my family longer than I have. My parents went on the their honeymoon there 33 years ago and we are still visiting there today. I have lots of fond memories of Jackson, there have been numerous strolls around downtown, drives to the Jackson Lake Lodge, Old Faithful in Yellowstone, the Bunnery, and of course Teton Village. This year marks me and Trevan's 3rd visit in our 4 years together.

The only down thing is my parents have 6 kids and with 6 kids not everyone can always come. This year my parents, Brad and Vanessa, Brooke and Dustin, my cousin Mark, Trevan and I, and of course JUDAKINS went. I love going on vacations with Jude, I have said it before, he is the best baby traveler in the history of babies. We had a lot of laughs and made a lot of memories, although we rarely saw my Dad who was busy fishing. Our family vacations always are made up of a lot of nighttime games. The most popular being Rummy. It gets competitive and some people are all business and some people are there just to annoy (Dustin.....thats right RedMan). We even had a coloring contest this year. Jude was the only one under 20 and he didn't even participate, so it was pretty funny. All in all, we a blast and I love being with family.
