Paris and Belgium

In Gent, Belgium, a city of many canals.

Bikes at the Gent train station.

A church in Gent.

Kathy loved this scene.

With the medieval guild houses in the background.

On our World War I tour With Eric Workman (who was stuck in Paris because of the volcanic cloud) at Tyne Cot cemetary, the largest British Commonweath cemetary in the world. Ieper Belgium.

We caught the bullet train back to Paris from Lille, France.

Outside the Louvre.

Relaxing in Tuilleries gardens.

At a nice Moroccan restaurant in Paris.

Although our flight for Wednesday was cancelled, we lucked out and got out a day early. Thousands of others were not so lucky.

State Basketball Champs

Rickey was very happy to be involved with another State championship team. Unfortunatley he broke his ankle growth plate mid-season, but was still able to play in one of the state tournie games. Jeff made his delicious Argentine meat for the whole basketball team for one of the team dinners that we hosted at our home.

Here's the net cutting down ceremony.

Loyal fans--Spencer being one of the most faithful orange fans, but not completely orange like the guy below. Although I wondered if it was Spencer for a long time until I saw him elsewhere.

Jeff coached MIkelle's team where they had a heart-breaking loss in the championship game!!

Sweet Sarah

Sarah lost her very first tooth last night (June 24, 2010) She was so happy. Here's the new look.

Sarah with favorite Cousins Ellie and Anna

SWEET SARAH'S PHOTO SHOOT BY SISTER MIKELLE

Beautiful blue eyes

Dressing up with favorite cousin Hunter

Loving being with both Grandma's. (She didn't want this photo.)

One more photo she didn't want.

Sarah can hang with the roughest of them and she always wants to be included. She's one tough cookie and won't wimp out on any adventure we bring her on.

Timothy loves music!

These have been sitting around waiting for me to post FOREVER but I wanted to add my favorite clip of him singing when he was 12 months old, but I have tried dozens of times to get it to post, and it always fails, so I'm just going to post it as it is. Maybe some day I'll get to add my favorite song. Meanswhile enjoy some sweet tunes.


Here's Timothy's first birthday. He loved to sing and one of the words we could recognize was "gramma" It's a little long, but I couldn't make it work without an editing program.



This is when he was into his Mulan phase at age 2 and a half. He loved Mulan and all of the songs, but especially this one. Sometimes I would bust him singing into the fan, "La La Luke. . .I am your father." I guess you can tell he's the youngest and has been exposed to older brothers. He's never even seen "Tommy Boy", but he's heard his brothers sing it into the fan and he learns quick.



Tiny Turtle Tim Song from Nursery


He learned the ABC's at age two, and loved to sing them all of the time.


Here we are at a breakfast at BYU where Timothy randomly started dancing when the music sank in.

Christmas 2009

Zach and Liz's gift will be never forgotten as we enjoyed delicous food from the new restaurant in Provo called "Communal" --so delicious! Thanks again.

Traditional Slumber Party on Christmas Eve Eve


New PJ's are the norm for Christmas Eve.

Timothy was sad about leaving his best nursery set-up with Tina and Kami, but he's made friends for lifetime. He got an early Christmas when Tina stopped by.

Christmas Morning before going downstairs

Happy with their toys.

Sarah and Timothy loving their new kitchen and Timothy's bike.

Spencer and Rickey loving their new bikes as well.

Delicious Chicken Brocolli dinner we all enjoyed on Christmas Day.

Timothy got sick after Christmas and was sick with stomache problems for 2 weeks or so. I enjoyed the chance to cuddle and hold him extra.

The Shields Family Christmas Party where creativity ruled and contests were fierce.

Friendly Family Basketball (you can't tell, but Lynn is playing in his suit!!)
