Emily's Blessing

Emily had her baby blessing in September. Mom and Dad were able to be there for the event. Lindsay's mom wrote the following on the Baxter Family website, http://www.baxgen.com/:

"Emily's baby blessing was very special. She wore the dress Becci, Natalie and Lindsay were blessed in. This made grandma B very happy. She also wore the slippers that cousin Lia was blessed in, which made aunt Kirstin happy too. The two grandfathers, Mike and Jeff were in the circle along with other friends of Lin and Kirk. Emily was blessed to be healthy and strong, to do well in school and to increase in intelligence, to be a benefit to her family and friends, to be kind and helpful to her future brothers and sisters. She was also blessed to gain a strong testimony of the Gospel and to serve well in the callings she may receive in the Church. It was a wonderful blessing and a precious experience for us all to participate in."

South Coast Symphony

Just found out that Grandma, Uncle Mark & Bea are coming down to see the SCS concert on Friday night! The concert is a good one; the Saint-Saens Organ Concerto, Rococo Variations with solo cellist, a FANTASTIC soprano doing some show-off pieces, and a modern guitar concerto that actually grows on you and is very enjoyable. Plus the USC fight song (all the soloists are from USC). The acoustics in the Lake Hills Church hall are great, so be prepared to be blown away by that organ!

Thanksgiving

What are you grateful for? We are most grateful for a wonderful family that has fun together and enjoys every moment together. We are grateful for all the precious children that are being born, and for grandparents who love so unconditionally. The more we see of the world, the more obvious it is that we are particularly blessed with our family. Thank you, Mom & Dad for working so hard to make it so!

Corbin's favorite part was walking in the costume parade.

Halloween

Jared sitting between Braden and Noah. Lizard costumes were popular in our neighborhood this year. We're grateful for Kara lending us the much-complimented skunk outfit!

Yes, he had to "sit" on every pumpkin in the patch. Well, it was better than throwing them!

Tom and I went for uber-easy parent costumes this year. All it took was a safety pin!

Our little stinker.

Fall Time!

Our friend Lanay took this photo as we rode the train at Irvine Regional Park. Jared couldn't be happier.

Family Phone List

Shout out for the Price Family Phone List. I'll be sending them out in November (so we all have them in time for Christmas Cards). If you have a preferred email or a new cell phone, let me know. Thanks so much.

The "Chaos" Group

Here's the crew we hang out with on Monday mornings. Jared is in the green shirt - matching his friend Braden. These are the 4 toe-heads in the group, there's about 7 other kids you don't see in the picture! We love hanging out at the Johnson's house. It's especially great for us moms.

Elder Price - Called to Serve

On Monday evening at 9:30pm MST, Kenneth opened his mission call amid a plethora of friends and family.

The result (dum-dum-dummmm) is the Houston East Texas Mission! Spanish speaking! Looks like we'll lose one of our best to the greatest state. And we all know not to mess with Texas.

Our whole family is so excited about this news. Kenneth, I mean, Elder Price will be a fantastic missionary. We'll send him lots of sunscreen and treats for the kids down there. Best of all, he'll be the first boy in our family to benefit from the DearElder.com business.

When does he report to the MTC??? January 30, 2008. We are extra thrilled that all of us siblings will be with Elder Price for Christmas and to see him off. What a great adventure!
