Aplington update

Not much has changed for us. Easton is exactly as the picture shows.  He loves superheroes and does some pretty sweet impersonations. I love it! Jesslyn is a cute little mischevious sweetie. She is fiesty and has more sass than I care to admit to, but we love her and she makes us laugh all the time.  Luke is teaching seminary in Riverton and is looking into some masters degree programs. I stay at home and play and clean.  We are happy to have what we have.  Love you all and love seeing updates!! Especially with pics!

Had a fab Christmas. I shot a wedding for a family in my ward. It was a lot of work and I had a lot of fun. David is working for Firebaugh High School still. I am at home with our 4 and doing photography for families where I can fit it in. Miriam is 6 and in 1st and made the principals list this last semester. Tziporah is 4 and is into dirt and dolls. Mei just turned 3 and loves dresses and all things pretty. Adam just rounded month 10, walks, dances, and loves it when we forget to put the remote up. We live in Kerman, having just moved this past summer (it's about 30 minutes from Firebaugh). I got to see a few of you this past summer and I loved it! It's nice seeing everyone working hard and becoming the people their children will remember. Happy New Year!

P.S. A little blip of how everyone is doing would be awesome, don't ya think?

Recent Picture of Our Family

As I think most of you know, I had a beautiful little girl on July 12th.  I stopped working, and now stay at home to take care of our little one full time. She is the best thing EVER and I am so glad to be able to hang out with her all the time:) Any questions?  Hope life is going well for everyone and hope to see most of you soon- whenever we decide to get together :) Mandie, I posted these especially for you, since you don't have facebook.  Merry Christmas!

Shocker....

So as all you wonderful ladies know we Floods have three, cream of the crop, girly girls. We embraced the fact that we will probably never have a boy. So when I asked for a second opinion at my 20 week ultrasound when the tech said "....nooo, i think you make boys" I know your all won't think I was lacking faith in the very competent tech. I was just in shock. So, here is my official announcement to the neatest group of gals that ever had to endure me...We are having our fourth baby, and he is a boy. His name will be Adam Yosef, after Davids twin that passed away, and my favorite bible story. We are all excited for our little one to arrive. The girls are SOOOO geared up to baby this baby. It's gonna be like a battle zone around here. Whew! Keep the posts coming ladies. I love to hear about how everyone is doing. Send me an e-mail if you want to be on my regular mailer list. ajfkokaubeam@gmail.com. Peace

The Lorflor Project

Hey ya'll

My sister Lorien has been painting these pieces of art for a project she does called The Lorflor Project. Once a week for the past year she created a piece and then put it up on her website: http://thelorflorproject.com/
The public can go name the piece whatever they think it looks like. If she chooses your name you will receive a free copy of the print! They are amazing! She is now finished with the first year and will do another. All of the pieces from this past year are now for sale on her ETSY site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/LorienOriginalArt?ref=pr_shop_more

Go check it out. They really are amazing! Seriously. She brought the final copies over to my parents house last night for the family to see and they are so gorgeous. I wanted them all!

Here are a few examples of my favorites:

The last one I won. I named it "Coloring the Galaxy" 

TLC

Aplington update and reunion proposal!!

This is my family now. I love them! Easton turned three in September and Jesslyn is four months. 2011 has flown by. but it has been great. We are almost done with our house, just some little finishing touches. Luke is student teaching seminary to see if he gets hired and we should find out in April, he also does PSR. I stay home with my two crazy kids. I am missing all of you! So lets really plan a reunion in Utah this year. When do all the BYU families have Spring Break? Luke will be off of teaching the last week in March. Anyone for a party? Of course one of you Utahns will need to host since most of you are there. Unless you all want to come to Poky I would love to host!!! Even if we just get together for dinner or BBQb or something. Let me know... Kim good luck with your little guy and make sure to let us know when he gets here. Christine good luck also!! I am so excited for you guys! Kelsey and Amanda.. come visit us. I miss you both!! Love you all!
