Zach Justesen Family Pictures

These are some of the pictures we had taken this weekend. I love this new place I found to have our pictures taken. We bought quite a few, since the last time we had a family picture was 3 years ago, and it was also time for Dylan's 4 year pictures, and Kendall's 1 year pictures. It was fun doing a boys picture and girls picture. Zach and I also had our picture taken alone which we haven't had done since before we had kids! I can't wait to take Carter back for his birthday in March! They were wonderful with the kids! They took a total of 150 pictures that we then had to choose from. so many poses!! I got them all on CD even though we didn't buy every pose! I was surprised I thought we would only get the ones we paid for on CD. Lucky me! This is just a sample, but I am excited about how they all turned out they were wonderful, and this turned out to be even cheaper than kiddie kandids where I normally take the kids for their birthday shots. Anyways thought I would share. Love to you all.

Well life is sure exciting here in Kansas City. Zach is spending his first night working late. They told us when we moved in that there would be lots of over time but when Zach was just training we didn't get stuck with any of that. Now that he has a project he is working on a clients he is in charge of I guess we are seeing a change.

In honor of his late night tonight we caught him a present!!
Mouse #8!!! YUCK!!!

We caught mouse #7 when mom and dad were here with the girls, Here are pictures of that wonderful event!! Kayla was scared to go to sleep down stairs because shortly after catching the first mouse I could have sworn that I saw another one, when we didn't find the 2nd one I thought maybe I was just seeing things. I guess I just had to be patient. It has just taken a week.




Mouse #7

Lucky for Zach the mice have gotten wise to the "killer" mouse traps and I have had to resort to using glue strips that don't kill them, they just get stuck. Zach then gets the "dirty" dead of killing them!! GROSS!!!

Anyways just thought I would share our excitement with you

with love

Kansas City Visit

We had so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa and the girls when they came to Kansas City, Here are a few pictures of what we did while they were here



Carter and Dylan's soccer game, Zach coached Dylan's team and they are still undefeated!! (although we aren't supposed to keep score at their age. U5) Carter played awsome also, his team

Monday we went to Kaleidoscope. It is put on by Hallmark cards and you can go in and be creative and do artsy things with scrap pieces of paper and other supplies. We all had lots of fun making cards and puzzles and such.







Wednesday we went to the park Carter's teacher had us pick him up from school early and we went to this park we had lots of fun.






playing at the park. the kids really liked the merry go round

I think I am at my picture limit for this post, we did lots of other fun things too maybe mom will post some more pictures or I will do another post later, We also went to Liberty Jail on Tuesday, that was lots of fun too and today we ate lunch with Carter at his school. He really enjoyed having his cousins and grandma and grandpa eat lunch with him.

Shaun and Christina Eaton's July wedding

Shaun and Christina were married on 7-7-07
Here are a few pictures Mom took at their wedding.



Cory and Trina and their two kids, Natalie and Cole? we think.

Soccer Season

Well Soccer Season is on us again, and this year both Carter and Dylan are playing, and Zach is coaching, (Dylan's Team) This seems to make life much busier. 3 Days a week we are now spending over at the soccer field. Kendall is loving the time outside and does really well at practices and the games. Dylan just loves soccer. If he isn't running its because he has fallen down from running too fast. I couldn't stop laughing at his first game on Saturday. He was so cute! Carter is getting better. He is not as enthusiastic about soccer as Dylan, but does well, Zach played with him last night in the back yard and I think he is just timid about the other kids pushing to get the ball.

Things are settling down here, Zach is in his permanent position at work, I am working on settling into my new calling as Stake YW Secretary. I didn't realize how much work it was going to be, But it is also going to be so much fun. I got to go to my first youth dance last Saturday night and had a blast. Towards the end we were all (the stake yw presidency) out there dancing. It was a lot of fun to start getting to know the people I will be working with.

Our most exciting news is that we are coming to Tucson in November for the Tour de Tucson and Thanksgiving. We are so excited to come back and see all of our friends again. I am being forced to focus on my riding as I sprained my hip running 2 weeks ago. We (my running partner and I) got chased by a pack (2) of dogs, and I finally went to the Dr. and got x-rays done. No running for 4 weeks maybe more, but he did say that I could ride my bike and keep my endurance up so El Tour here I come!!

Kendall is growing up so fast. She will be 1 in 3 weeks. I can hardly believe it! Anyways that's life here in KC. Love and Miss you all

Kendall is almost always smiling. We just love her!
