Happy St. Patrick's Day, from US!

(well, mostly OWEN!! Cuz he's cute... perfect poster child for the family, right!?!)

Ok, so I know I am posting this a day late... but that's how you roll when you run around like a chicken with it's head cut off!!! I made it on St. Pattie's day, that counts right!!!

ANYWAY! HAPPY GREEN DAY!

(Below is the origianl, minus the St. Pattis day textures in case family want this one instead!lol)

MYLES

This is my sweet nephew Myles. Kirii and Doug and their boys were able to come down for a visit and to attend my TDC concert! It was so fun to have them and sad to see them go. I was able to do a family photoshoot for Kirii for her birthday... which I have yet to edit (sorry Kirii- SOON!)

But there was this one picture of Myles that I loved because I thought he looked especially ANGELIC!

He is the sweetest little guy, I can't wait to seem him on my upcoming visit to Boise this weekend!

Thank you Jones Family! We love sure love you guys!

SEASONS CHANGE

I've been a blog slacker when it comes to our family blog, and my goal is to remedy that! I am starting anew! Ever since I bought my new camera, I am PICKY! I look back on old pics and scoff at the quality! I admit to having a minor love affair with my new camera, because it can capture precious, everyday family moments in such a special way!

These pics were taken last sunday when we were blessed with the FIRST 'relatively' warm day of the season. Payton and Kade took advantage by going out to practice their golf swings.

Haha- Kade will scold me for posting these ones of him. He thinks he looks pretty silly in this BYU hat, but I find him DARLING and all the more endearing. (Sigh... didn't I marry a hot man???WOW!)

Payton can ignore me sometimes, but is usually pretty good at posing for the camera!




On their way to the pros!!!

The GEAR.

The The ultimate BYU Fan!

This was the previous week! Payton had such cabin fever. It was FREEZING, but sunny, and the snow had finally melted off of the street, so he BEGGED to go for a scooter ride. I tried out my new lens.. (mmmm, its divine BTW) and he lasted till the end of the road, got too cold, and quit. But it made for a nice, however brief, outing! I'm biased, but he's darling!

All our love,THE KLINGLERS

(hopefully posting more frequently-:( Sorry)

The Klinglers in 2009

I wasn't able to get a Christmas card out this year, so I wanted to share some of our highlights with everyone and wish all our loved ones a Merry Christmas. We are truly blessed to have all that we do. We are grateful for the gospel, and especially for our Savior, Jesus Christ- and our families.

Our highlights this year as a family have been: moving into our new house in May. The passing of our dear friend (adopted Grandpa) Craig McCuistion. He was killed on June 26th on a river rafting trip with the young men in his ward. We miss him everyday, and continue to be close to his wife Cindy, and daughter Brittney. Owen was born 3 days later, on June 29th. He is truly a blessing. It took us awhile to get pregnant (2 years) so we have a bit of a gap between him and Payton, but it is a helpful one. Payton is a fabulous big brother!

Kade is still working for Tranes Diesel and doing well there. He enjoys archery and bow hunting. Golfing, and BYU Football. He had his season ticket again this year and attended most of the home games with his dad, brother, and sister that lives down in Utah. He continues to take one or two correspondence classes a year through BYU to finish his degree. He serves as a priest quorum advisor in our ward.

I am loving making our new house a home, and being a mommy of two. I am busy a few evenings a week with work, and I never really want to leave, because I have these 3 fun, cute boys at home. I miss them so much when I am gone. Outside of my wife/mommy job I teach, choreograph and direct at Dance Tech Studio in Idaho Falls. This year myself and a fellow instructor founded and began a professional company, TDC, The Dance Collaborative. It has been going fabulously! We have some fantastic adult dancers. We have had some great first performances and are excited for our first professional show to be held February 13th. I also manage the dancewear store in the studio.
I took up photography as a hobby this year and have just begun to turn it into little business. I am loving it!!!!! I serve as a ctr6 primary teacher in our ward.

Payton got moved this year, got a little brother and turned 4! He attends a little pre-school group with 7 other boys in our ward and he LOVES it! They have school twice a week. HE EATS IT UP! He is currently learning to count from 20-30. He knows all his letters, so at home we are working on spelling and sounding out words.
For fun he LOVES transformers, bakugans, starwars and hotwheels cars. He says the funniest things. He is a sunbeam this year and moves up to CTR5 this next year.
HE LOVES to help with his brother and is especially proud of his ability to make him happy when he is crying, and make him giggle.

Owen is darling. He grins CONSTANTLY with his little tongue hanging out of his mouth. He has big eyes, just like Payton did at his age, except Owen is pretty bald. Other than that, it is SO OBVIOUS that they are brothers. He loves attention- and if he gets it he is pretty content. He just cut a tooth YESTERDAY and is getting close to sitting up on his own. His favorite sound to make is "dadadad.." which Kade is pretty proud of because of course- he MEANS to say 'dad,' right?

We are so blessed and happy. Every day Kade and I marvel at the wonderful family we have been given and how we can possibly deserve it. Thanks to all our family, friends and co-workers who make our lives wonderful. We love an appreciate you all. Especially all of you friends who we don't get to see regularly but who constantly share their lives and love through email, facebook, letters and phonecalls.

Merry Christmas to you all.
LOVE-

Nicole, and the Klingler clan.
