More from Camp

2011-09-30T07:34:00.000-07:00

A few more from camp. Here are the outside of our cabins which were actually pretty comfortable. Kara getting ready to do the zip-line and on it. (She even convinced me to do it, but unfortunately I have no photographic evidence. It was fun, though I was also a bit nervous to do it.
Besides all of the entertaining activities, they had all kinds of classes on earth science, orienteering, and animals. It was really enjoyable for me to get to spend some quality time with Kara and her cute friends! It was also great to get to interact with some of the wonderful parents and educators in our community. I came home really appreciative of the goodness of the community in which we live.
The guy with the snake is one of the counselors who is trying to decide whether or not to go back and finish medical school, or to make a career change and become a coach, teacher, counselor like he feels he has a real passion for. After his first year of medical school, he had to take a leave of absence when they found out he had a cancerous tumor. He recently finished the operation to remove the tumor and the radiation therapy and now has to make some tough decisions about what he really wants to be and do with his life. A great young man with a real gift with the kids.

Fifth Grade Camp!

2011-09-30T06:22:00.000-07:00

I had such a fun opportunity to go to 5th grade camp with Kara last week. We got to go to a beautiful facility in East Texas and we were so pleased with the counselors and the programs offered for the kids. Even the food was yummy. This first photo is Kara with one of her friends getting ready to canoe. The second picture shows how the parents and teachers greeted the kids as they came in to eat in the cafeteria. They played fun music and we all stood on our chairs and cheered them on as they came in. I was very impressed at how the counselors made time to learn all of the kid's names and to try and really help them feel important. The third photo is our cabin "family" at dinner. The other chaperone was actually a lady from my ward so that was really fun! Fourth picture is canoeing on the picturesque lake.

Our office

2011-08-19T09:42:00.000-07:00

Brandon is an orthodontist with his own practice here in Frisco, TX. We have been open now since the middle of April and things are going well. We are growing even though it is definitely a process, and we are learning tons! Here is one of the pictures of the office that the contractor took for their website. And here is a link to our website: pricefamilyortho.com

Other cute kids from our smores night

2011-07-02T07:21:00.000-07:00

Everyone should have a three year old

2011-07-02T07:01:00.000-07:00

Zach is so fun right now. Three year olds are just excited about life and that excitement is pretty contagious. He also makes us laugh from the funny things he says and does to his mad "lama" faces (If you haven't read "Lama, Lama, Mad at Momma" check it out - cute book and Zach looks just like that lama sometimes. One of the latest humorous incidences happened when he called marshmallows - "messmallows" on a night we made smores together as a family. He also takes everything literally. For example, after asking me what he could help set on the table and him turning all of those things down, I told him he better just jump in the lake then and he responded by looking around first and then vehemently stating, "Mom, there is no lake here!" Also pictured here are the glasses he made in Sunbeams on the day they did a lesson about eyes. I also love that when Lauren wakes up in the morning he comes in and says "cock-a-doodle-doo," Lauren. And she replies, "doodledoo."

Father's Day

2011-07-02T06:50:00.000-07:00

We had fun big-dealing Brandon on Father' s Day. We are so very grateful for him and all he does to bless our lives. He is a wonderful father and husband! He got breakfast in bed complete with a smoothie the girls made for him, and a new recipe I tried for omelets (he loves it when I try new recipes). Lauren was sure she needed to share her Daddy's breakfast so she was bouncing around while he was trying to eat. She sure does love her Daddy!

Haircuts

2011-07-02T06:30:00.000-07:00

Kara and Lindsey are such close sisters. They love to be together almost always and often try to dress the same or do their hair the same way so we weren't surprised when we went to get their hair cut at the beginning of the summer and they both got the same really cute short cut. They are enjoying it even if it does take longer to do some days.

Lindsey's Kindergarten Program

2011-04-25T09:20:00.000-07:00

Josh was taking pictures of this event and then we ran out of batteries. But you can get the idea of the darling hat that Brandon made for Lindsey for her program. It was a really cute musical program and we have been hearing the songs ever since. Both of our older girls really love to sing.

Easter 2011

2011-04-25T09:05:00.001-07:00

Here are a few of our Easter pictures. Hopefully there will be more to follow. Hope you all had a wonderful day!

Office update - Friday, April 22nd, 2011

2011-04-25T08:52:00.000-07:00

More pictures. We are getting there. It is fun to see things coming together.

Office Update - Approx. one week ago

2011-04-12T08:20:00.001-07:00

Here are more pictures of the office. Our Certificate of Occupancy inspection is today and if all goes well, we see our first patient on Friday! What an incredibly huge project, but neat to see it coming together.

Office Progress - April 17, 2011

2011-04-03T09:37:00.000-07:00

Here are some shots of the office a little over two weeks ago. Now it is almost done. I will try and put some more photos on this week. I am absolutely amazed at how long it actually takes to complete a project like this and how many details and decisions are involved. What an adventure! It is looking great!

Pictures of the office under construction

2011-03-01T13:21:00.000-08:00

Here are a few shots with Kara as "Vanna" showing the construction of the office at the beginning of January. We are much farther along now and I need to go and get more pictures.

Lindsey lost her first tooth!

2011-03-01T12:50:00.000-08:00

Lindsey lost her first tooth in January and these pictures accurately portray how she felt about it. Her dad worked on getting the tooth ready, but it was Josh and Kara who actually did the final yanking once they were all supposed to be in bed. Maybe we will have two more dentists in the family.

Cutie

2011-02-28T20:17:00.000-08:00

Right now we run around and run around again trying to get things done for Brandon's new office. Some days regular naps just don't happen and then things like this do. What a sweet girl she is!

Zach graduated to Sunbeams

2011-02-28T07:27:00.000-08:00

Here are a few cute pictures of Zach from the Sunday he graduated from nursery to Sunbeams. He is so excited about going to primary with the "big kids." I love that I get to be in primary right now to watch him. He loves to sing and just soaks all the information in.

Merry Christmas in February?

2011-02-24T15:45:00.000-08:00

We are so behind right now, but I finally got some of our recent photos uploaded to the computer. We did have a good Christmas and hope you all did too.

Can't get enough

2010-09-12T22:06:00.000-07:00

Zach (and all of us) just can't get enough of this squeezy, sweet baby! Lauren is really fun right now with all of her rolling and laughing. These pictures are first thing in the morning. Every day when I get Lauren out of bed, Zach is so excited to see her and always wants to give her a kiss and hold her if I will let him. She smiles when she sees him too. I hope this fun friendship will keep going as they get bigger.

FOOTBALL

2010-09-12T21:10:00.001-07:00

Josh is playing tackle football this year and Brandon is one of the assistant coaches. If you haven't heard, football is taken very seriously in Texas and so they have had four, two hour practices every week in preparation for the first game which they played this weekend. Their team lost, but they are a brand new team this year and were playing the best team in the league and the score was 33 to 24. They played really well, had a good time, and Josh didn't get hurt so we were excited! The fun thing is that they have the games on the highschool field and they have the announcer and the music and everything.

Daddy Daughter Dance

2010-09-12T21:00:00.000-07:00

Kara and Brandon had a great time at the Stake Daddy Daughter Dance. They went with another Dad and his two girl who are Kara's friends. First they had a yummy dinner at the California Pizza Kitchen, then they went to the dance at the Stake Center. Brandon said they did a great job at making the cultural hall look really classy with a tent, lights, and a chocolate fountain. Kara's favorite things about this evening were getting to get all dressed up, flowers from Dad, going out to eat, and most importantly - getting Dad all to herself all evening long. Hopefully this will make up for all of the times when she felt gipped because she didn't get to go on the Father and Son's Campouts.

First days of school

2010-09-12T20:43:00.000-07:00

Here are the kids on their first days of school. So far they are all really enjoying their teachers and seem to be making some new friends. Josh is lucky enough to have 4 kids from our ward in his class. Kara has a really fun and vivacious teacher, and Lindsey is thriving being able to go to school with the big kids. She was more than ready and seems to be loving every minute of it. My sister-in-law, Rachelle, always takes a picture of the kids new school shoes as well and I thought that was a cute idea.
In the picture of the three oldest together, Josh has a funny look on his face because he is trying to make sure that he doesn't know the people walking down the street to school and watching us take these pictures (how embarassing!). Oops, maybe next year we we take them inside.
The one of Zach is on his first day of preschool. He was very nervous to go that first day, but since then has really looked forward to it.

Zach's 3rd Birthday!!

2010-09-12T20:24:00.000-07:00

Of course Zach requested a Diego party this year and we were happy to comply. We had a stick the star on Diego game, chocolate Diego cake, lots of Diego related gifts, and a family dance at the end of his party (for those of you who don't know - Zach loves to move to the music). I think he had a great time and so did we celebrating this wonderful little boy. He just learned to go on the potty (hurray!!) and is so enjoying his new preschool class with his friends. He is such a blessing to our family!
In the picture with the great excited face, Zach is pulling out a Diego backpack for his preschool class. Also it was so cute that the first thing he wanted to do when he finished opening his presents was to read his new Diego books.

A fun outing

2010-09-12T20:12:00.000-07:00

We had a great time going to a baseball game as a family this summer. Our real estate agent gave us free tickets when we finally sealed the deal and signed our lease. Despite the heat, it was one of the most entertaining games we have ever been to because of the all of the fun activities that went on during breaks in the game. We also got lots of free food and drinks (which the kids loved) and saw great fireworks after the game was over.

Easter Photos

2010-05-26T21:29:00.000-07:00

We have had some computer trouble of late, but finally have access to these pictures again. Hope you still enjoy them.

2008-11-23T20:20:00.000-08:00

Lindsey celebrated her 4th birthday on November 4th (it was her golden birthday). We had a Sunday birthday dinner a few days before her birthday with my Grandparents and my Mom, (who was out staying with them to help them get ready to move). On her actual birthday, Lindsey wanted to go to Chuck-e-Cheese's and we had a great time. We were blessed that my Mom was willing to come with us that night too. I think her favorite gift was a baby accessories kit pictured above. She is such a fun and loving little thing! She makes us laugh a lot! We love you, Lindsey.

P.S. The princess cake is definitely the saddest cake I have ever seen. We were in a hurry and had to frost it when it was still hot.

Tim and Kimberly

2008-11-23T20:11:00.000-08:00

We had a lot of fun when Brandon's brother, Tim, and our sister-in-law, Kimberly came out to visit us. They were great guests and so much fun to have around! One of the things they did that the kids liked the most was build a fort in the living room and Kimberly even slept out there with them (what a good sport!). We also celebrated Kimberly's birthday a few days late.

Kara is soaring

2008-11-18T20:15:00.000-08:00

Kara received a "High Flyer" award from school. This is an award they give out three times a year to students who are doing well. We are proud of you Kara!

Halloween 2008

2008-11-18T20:04:00.000-08:00

Here are some pictures of our kids on Halloween night (and one from before a Halloween party with friends). They had a fun time trick or treating, Trunk or Treating the night before, carving pumpkins, etc., etc. As you can see from the photos, Zach did not want to hold still or get his picture taken. The girl's darling witch costumes were made by their Grandma Price.

Josh is a Bear!

2008-11-18T20:01:00.000-08:00

Josh has really been enjoying Scouts the last year and we were proud of him being able to move up to the Bear level recently.

Haircuts

2008-10-15T14:07:00.001-07:00

A few weeks ago, Kara and Lindsey got really cute short haircuts. I guess Lindsey didn't thnk it was short enough. Last Friday she was playing with a friend in Kara's beauty shop corner, she couldn't find our fake scissors. She came upstairs and got some of our paper scissors and then started hacking away. I found her when she had some cut almost up to her head on either side. Our nice beautician friend tried to help us fix it, but it will take some time to grow out and look more normal. Good thing she still has such a cute face.

The Greatest Show On Earth!

2008-10-12T22:26:00.001-07:00

I don't know how to put these photos in a neat little square yet so bear with me. It was a cold and wet Saturday, but we had a blast taking the kids to see the circus in town. Zach even slept for the second half. What a champ!

Josh liked the tigers best, Kara liked the elephants, and Lindsey liked the 4-7 motorcycle riders who rode round and round and upside down in a metal sphere (very impressive!).

Lindsey cut her own hair this week with paper scissors and it is very interesting. I will try and post a picture later this week.

Funny Lindsey

2008-10-05T21:16:00.000-07:00

I found this funny picture of Lindsey tonight when I was looking for the school pictures. This is from the fourth of the July when we were doing fireworks. Lindsey hated the sound and the smell of the fireworks. But she couldn't cover her nose and ears at the same time, so she talked her sister into helping her out.

Starting School

2008-10-05T19:15:00.001-07:00

I just wanted to include the kids pictures when they started school in August. They were all so excited! Kara said she was also a bit nervous. She told us she had "butterflies in her tummy."
Josh and Kara get to go together to Red Hawk Ridge across the street. Lindsey and I are doing a co-op preschool with some other Moms and girls in the Ward.
So far they are really liking school, and enjoying their teachers. I feel like this year everyone has a better idea of how things will go and how to get things done efficiently. I hope it will continue!

We have another walker

2008-10-05T16:38:00.000-07:00

Zach started walking about 2 weeks ago. Please forgive the quality of the footage, but at least it will give you an idea.

Smart Baby

2008-09-18T12:21:00.000-07:00

Zach is obsessed with phones right now. This afternoon I had to take the downstairs phone away from him so I could use it and he was not happy. A few minutes later I realized he had climbed up the stairs and I found him sitting there proudly playing with the upstairs phone. I think we may have to watch out for this boy. He knows what he wants and he is pretty determined to get it.
