My neice and nephew

Settling in, in Utah

Here is what my darling neice and nephew do with most of their time. (sorry Natalie I didn't get pictures of all the busy, fun things you do with your friends on the swing set!)
Natalie and her love of reading


Jay and his obsession with World Of War Craft

November stuff

PORTER'S PLACE

It's probably been about 16 years since we last ate at this quaint restaurant in Lehi Utah, and it was exactly as I remembered it...DELICIOUS! Lots of fun items on the menu, but the steak is to die for, frontier potatoes yummy, and the fresh bread heavenly!

Here we are after a busy day unpacking my sister's new house. Did I mention that they moved? Well, fresh start for them all. It's a great place, nice neighborhood, and close to Stevie and Julianne (and NO, none of them live in Lehi--this is just where we ended up for dinner silly!) Natalie and Aunt "leenda"

Happy Birthday Heidi

Heidi is four!!! How can that be? she is such a big girl now! And of course we just had to celebrate... (40 people Ames??? now you sound like your mother!) But it was nice getting together with all the old Claremont friends, and the new Dana Point ones! GOOD TIMES. Heidi's "tinkerbell" b-day went really well I think. Great party games..and good food. Nice combination.

Celebrating together

Having fun together at Aunt Annie's celebrating Jay's summer birthday (we missed out because he was gone the whole time!) and Joe's September birthday. Great party!

lots of love

Feeling a little green?

Celebrating our Irish ancestry is so much fun! There's always some Corn Beef and Cabbage, green mashed potatoes, green jello or pudding, and green 7-UP! Nothing says it better than GREEN!

Having food and fun is a Boyer specialty!

Visit from nana & pop-pop

Nana and pop-pop came into town for a visit through the holiday's. It just so happens that their anniversary and nana's birthday are just 2 days after Christmas, so a celebration was in order.
