Family Picture Time!

The picture over our fireplace was taken 4 years ago. Kylie isn't even in it. Last night while we were praying she looked up at that picture and was blessing every one who is in it then said, "I'm not in there" in a sad voice. We're working to rectify that. We actually already had an appointment to get our pictures taken today. Afterwards we snapped a few shots in our front yard. Hopefully we'll get at least one good picture from the ones Michelle took!

Say Cheese!

Boy are our kids growing up fast! Just trying to capture their smiles.

First Day of School

We were all excited for school to start this year although the summer flew by!


How in the world did I get old enough to have a teenager? Brett started 8th grade which means we only have 5 years left with him at home! Yikes time sure does fly by!

Kimberly is now 8 and starting 3rd grade. She is so excited for school to start. She is a sweetie!

What is Kylie going to do all day with everyone else at school all day? She is 2 and thinks she's a big kid and wants to go to school too.

This is Bryce's last year of elelmentary school. He's 10 and one of the top dog at school now because 5th grade is the last year of elementary school here.

Have you ever seen anyone this excited to start school. Bradley is 6 and heading into 1st grade.

The kids said I needed my picture taken too. I'm excited to be back on a schedule!

The walk to school.

Bradley is in Mrs. Merrill's class.
Kim has Mrs. Puzey.
Bryce has Mrs. Bryner.

The blessing of funerals...

Getting the family together:

My dad & brothers. Hope mom was looking down on us!

The entire Clyde Condie family minus Brian who had to work & of course mom.

This is all the grandkids with grandpa.



One of my Uncle Keiths passed away last week. His funeral was held in South Salt Lake. I loaded up the 5 kids and headed up to my brother's house so we could attend the funeral. The best thing about funerals is getting to see family. My dad, 3 brothers, 3 sister-in-laws and all the cousins were there. I also got to see my grandma, Aunt Judy, Uncle Mike, Uncle John and of course my Aunt Cheri (it was her husband who died).

Sunday Morning!

Sunday morning at the Habels: Notice the Living Scriptures video on the TV. The kids play games, fight and watch church movies all morning then we race off to church barely making it on time!

Brett & Bryce playing Pokemon.
Kylie giving me a big smile!
Kim hurt her ankle on the tramp yesterday so she "needs" crutches. It is swollen a little so we're hoping she just twisted it.
Giving me a cheesy grin!

I've been a slacker at posting on this blog again. Life keeps me busy! The kids are back to school after Christmas break. Brian's been busy at work and dealing with the joys of having his computer crash. We're all healthy and happy and life is good!

Close Ups - A bunch of pictures taken today!
