Family

The resemblance is uncanny!

These two photos weren’t taken recently, but I thought they were priceless and had to share. Aargh, shiver me timbers!

We had a great Christmas, we hope you did too! We continued our annual tradition/goal of having a fire every night in December. Nanny took Erik to see the Nutcracker for the very first time, which he liked almost as much as Indiana Jones, and Mo and Nanny got their Christmas gooses early at the Neil Diamond concert! Here are some previously un-released photos. The first is Henry performing at his Christmas program, and in the second we are showing of our fake teeth stocking stuffers!

Henry turned 4 this past November! This is a picture of him and his “best girl” Afton at his Chuck E. Cheese party. He told us the other day that he was going to marry his best girl Afton, but she punched him at recess, so now its over!

It has been a while since I sent out any news stories or updates, but I was just categorizing and organizing our photo libraries and thought I would blast out a couple posts. This past Halloween we had the Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi, and Superman over for dinner. It was a blast! Erik was a very serious and disciplined Jedi. Henry? Well, we couldn’t get Henry to stop flexing!

Henry stole the show at his Little Gym performance this month! What a champ!

Erik had surgery on Thursday. Because of the terrible Janke baby tooth genes, Erik required 8 crowns, and 3 pulpotomies to repair his rotten teeth. Erik has been going to the dentist since he was three years old and he brushes and flosses his teeth regularly, but alas Janke’s do not have strong baby teeth. I recall having many problems with my baby teeth. Breedh was dealt the worst hand when it comes to baby teeth. We all have very strong permanent teeth, so we are positive about Erik’s dental future. Erik took it like a champ! I think Mo and I were effected more by the whole process than Erik. It was an outpatient surgery at Primary Children’s Hospital. They did such a fantastic job, all of our trips to Primary’s have been so positive. Erik was rippin to go once he was in recovery. He is a very busy guy, Lego projects to build, drawings to create, and Star Wars battles to plan. He is really, really stoked about all the pirate booty he now has in his mouth.

We spent Easter weekend with Granpa Craig and Grandma Robyn at their house in St. George. It was a great fun filled and sun filled weekend! We had a great time swimming, riding bikes, flying kites, and going to the park. We even went to the Johnson Farm Dinosaur Museum.

Here is a picture of the snow castle we built after one of the big snow storms this winter.

After 10 hours of deliberations, the jury returned a verdict of guilty in the Jenny Nicholl trial. David Hodgson has been sentenced to life in prison for her murder. Jenny disappeared almost three years ago in June of 2005. It has been a difficult road to travel, we are all relieved at this summation. We miss you Jenny, you are always in our hearts and prayers.
