WOW, we must have had a baby!

Hello dear family. It is General Conference Sunday and we thought that we would post some pictures of Evan for all of you out of town people to see.




































These first pictures are from a photo shoot that we did two weeks after he was born. I'd like to think that in the second picture he is dreaming about his future following in the footsteps of his humble father.


These next pictures are from a seperate shoot that Patricia did with her mom at our house. Three weeks after he was born.




I am not real good at editing this blog thing-ey. I hope these pictures come across okay.

We are not sure when we will see all of you next. Dale and Jace are coming to SLC Memorial Day weekend to baptize Amelia, so they will see Evan then. Tyler and Kathy are welcome to come then too. As far as the ABC family, we hope to see you sometime before Evan's mission farewell.

Seeing a post on our blog is like seeing Haley's Comet, enjoy it while you can, because it does not come around very often. We will try to post some pictures again soon.

We love you all,
The BFC Family
Bryan, Patricia, Annika, Corinne, Callie and Evan.

June 11, 2008 10 Year Anniversary

What a fun day. It was cold and rainy just like it was ten years ago.

We celebrated it like most couples do.

Bryan went to work early, and got home just in time to get a quick bite to eat, jump into his suit, and head to the church by 7pm for another 3 hours of service.

But before he left for work at 6:30am, he did manage to whisper some sweet nothings into my ear. "Honey, I am on my last pair of underware. Were you planning on doing laundry today?" So
I spent the day collecting, sorting, cleaning, and folding the mountains of laundry that had been accumulating from the past two weeks. I can't remember what had happened the weeks before, that had led up to the house work being neglected for so long. Unfortunately the kitchen and bathrooms were also in need of some attention. There was no time for a shower. Callie played in the wet sand outside and I just didn't get around to putting another outfit on her yet.


Bryan did get sentimental with the girls during the few minutes he was home between work and church. He asked the girls if they wanted to have me try on my wedding dress.

So here we are in the above picture. Me with no shower, my wedding dress on, but not zipped up in the back because of an expanded ribcage after having babies, Callie in a diaper, and all of us standing in the only clean room in the house.

Even though that was one more thing to add to my list of things to clean up and put away, it was fun to do because it made me take a moment to look back on how far we have come over those last ten years. We are so grateful for everything and know we are blessed to even have those messes to clean up.





It makes me think back to the summer of 1994, before I had even met Bryan. The only thoughts that occupied my mind were........

"I've been dreaming of a True Loves Kiss!"

(Yes, that is me on top of the bridge, in the middle, in Central Park.)

Rainy Day

Every time it rains, Annika and Corinne like to go out and play in the rain. They usually take the time to get their swimsuits on, and get their umbrella's. It was cold that day, so they also wanted a towel.

This was Callie's first time to join in the fun while it was raining. She loved it, p.j.'s and all.

Hot Day After Soccer

Annika and Corinne have so much fun ganging up on their dad.

Reasons for being a bad bloger

1. I felt that projects I started over a year ago should get done first. I bought fabric to make curtains for the great room, and I just put them up last week.
2. We bought a new camera last December and a very big memory card to go with it. Not too long ago, we installed the software and it has taken awhile to figure out how everything works.
3. The twins started 1st grade a month ago, and I now have 2 uninterrupted hours while Callie takes a nap to get caught up on things: bills, laundry, deep cleaning, paper work, phone calls, HGTV, and other little nit picky things I had to put off ever since Callie started crawling.
Time still seem to slip away from us. Notice the time of this posting.

Hopefully I will get caught up with my postings in the next couple of weeks. Enjoy our history for right now. Current events may,........or may not come next week.

Would anyone else like to bet dinner that we will not check our own blog by next week. We love going out to eat.

More New York Fun

We happened to be in NY when they were premiering the upcoming season on NBC.

It was fun to watch and see who was going to be nice and genuine, or snooty.

Nice

Nice

Nice and very sure of herself

Very Snooty. I didn't get a picture of it, but he had to bring his puppy with him. Notice the red leash. Maybe it was his fashion statement.

Snooty

My New York Trip

Check out all these famous people I saw. Can you name them?

Hello Jimmy.

I know this picture is blury, but that hair style says it all.

I really don't know who this is, I just took the picture.

Hint: If you have seen Bryan's favorite movie "Pure Country", than you know who the lady in purple is.
