We got a big blizzard on thanks giving weekend. up to 18 inches at our house. Keri was really eager to run the snow Blower, she had never used one before so she got on my case to tune it up so she could use it. I'm glad she did. there was soooo much snow. by the way this is the color we painted our house.

This was the Sterling Singers concert that I attended. Keri sang in all of the numbers and Braden was with the Kids parts of the Choir singing "Way in a manger" It was a wonderful night of festive Songs and spirit. If you can't see Keri, she's in the very top left... even further than the camera could reach. Thank the lord for music. The spirit it brings touches all who can hear. it doesn't matter what kind of day you might be having. music can either tear you down or bring you up to the stars.

After coming home from Thanksgiving in Brigham City with Part of the Howarth Clan, our kitty Keini (keen-eye) wouldn't leave Todd's side. He slept between Todd's legs all night and finally we caught him on film. he is sooo cute and sooo an Aylesworth in personality and temper.

So what is this? Look what Braden got for his Birthday... A Drum set!!! he always wanted to play Todd's drum set so we got him his own to learn on and eventually become more famous than Lars Ulrich, Neal Peart or John Bonham.

Hear is the Head shot Keri used to audition for some of the most prestigious Choirs around. She will be singing in one of them in the next couple of days for their Christmas Concert at Libby Gardner Hall on U of U campus. Braden and I are Sooooooo proud of her for her accomplishments. Braden will also be singing in the concert the song "Away in a manger" with 80 other kids.

What is this? Keri looks awful Todd-ish and Todd looks awful Keri-ish. No it's just Halloween and we dress up as each other. Keri even had my half calf Doc Martin's on. she told me I couldn't shave my Goatee. She grew one really quick. oh yeah thank goodness for stretchy dresses.

Here is Braden, The hesitating awesome bike rider he is, going down several flights of stairs next to the Marriott Library on the U of U campus. GO B!!!!!

Keri wanted you to see this!

This is Keri being not so graceful but still having fun. but look what she just did? could you do that? not the bush part the rock part.

This is when Keri, our good friend Stan and I went to Moab yet again this summer. However this was the maiden voyage of the Ellsworth Moment in which I had just built (It's the bike that I'm holding) with a few tweeks of the suspension we were off and Keri didn't wus out this time. Keri had the greatest ride of her life. she was doing amazing until... (look at the next pic) if you don't know the story she on this ride not only had the best ride but the fall that would be great enough to be awarded. yeah she got the gold when it comes to bailing on her bike. She still will do the trail again... maybe... either way we are proud of that fall.

This is Braden at the end of Dead Horse Point in Moab UT. We all rode there, Todd, Keri, Troy and Braden. If Braden walked just five steps away from the camera he would have been as dead as the Horses in which the point was named.

The first step to an eternal family... may the wild ride begin.

Braden's Baptism

We had a wonderful experience this year with Braden. He was baptized this year. It was so nice to have all the family there to share this time with us.
