The Larson family has survived yet another year. Good bye 2009, and HELLO 2010.
Shea played her first year of soccer! She scored 3 goals
James broke his leg at the Happiest Place on Earth! Disneyland did not live up to it's reputation that day!
We lost Grandpa Halls on June 30th. He left this world of pain and illness to be reunited with loved ones that have gone before him on the other side. Grandpa is healthy and feeling better than ever now. We miss Grandpa so much. We also know that he is happy and waiting for us to make our journey through this mortal life. See you on the other side Grandpa! 
We went to watch The Utah Utes beat UNLV football. We had a blast with Conor and Jessie. We enjoyed lots of laughs, dirty Scrabble, Turkey Foot, Grandma's cooking and riding quads.
2009 was officially completed by making it into this Larson Family portrait. For years I had imagined myself a part of these beautiful family portraits, next to Adam. After being in the family for 5 years, I earned my spot. I am next to Adam, beside Shea and holding our son James. My life could not be better. My life is exactly what my childhood dreams conjured up all those years ago. Of course, getting my dream was not easy. The challenges, consequences, learning opportunities, and growing, all made this journey a trial. However, I finally got what I wanted. I got Adam! And yes, it was well worth the wait!

We thought it a dreadful waste of pumpkins to purchase and have a cute baby picture with a dozen pumpkins for Halloween. Save the planet, don't waste pumpkins. Instead, we dumped out our RECYCLING can and James REUSED and RE PURPOSED our junk mail. This is instead of wasting pumpkins for a photo opp.Think Green People.

YAY Kim! I was so excited to read this! Mainly cause it's 7:13 p.m. and I am stuck at work. But SO SO excited. I am glad that I made it into the Larson portrait before 5 years. I don't know if I could have handled that wait!
