Merry Christmas!

We have had a great year. Tyler learned to waterski and Brandon learned how to talk! We had Ethan in August and he just learned how to roll over and Marnae started a company. Brian is still in Project Management for Kirby Nagelhout Construction Company in Bend and enjoying it. He is looking forward to his next job wich will be his biggest so far in his career! We are still enjoying Central Oregon although not enough of you have followed us here! We do miss family and friends but are happy to be so close to Brian's parents, and aunts and uncles. Our boys are keeping us really busy and they are fun. Ethan has brought nothing but joy to our lives and the boys are mostly concerned with Santa and Reindeer! It is fun when they begin to understand the holidays.
We hope this Christmas finds you well and happy. We wish you all a merry Christmas and hope that as you celebrate you will remember our Savior and what he has done for all of us. We are grateful for all our blessings and hope to have a wonderful 2008!

Love, The Powells (Brian, Marnae, Tyler 5, Brandon 3, Ethan 3 months)

Some more Pictures

As you can see we have some funny boys. I walked in one day and found them "experimentitng". I died laughing this time. Boys are hilarious.

Pumpkin Patch

Halloween

Here are some of our Halloween Pictures. Ethan was a spider and the other boys wouldn't let me take their pictures on Halloween so here are some of them with Brian at the pumkin patch. Behind them is the famous rock climbing spot Smith Rock, it is beautiful! Halloween was fun, Brandon still doesn't really get it, but Tyler DOES! It was so fun to see him run from house to house so excited. He was also really good and handing it out when we got home. He would actually tell poeple "have a good night!" loudly as they were walking away which for Tyler is huge. He can be a pretty shy guy.

Brandon really only cares about "bad guys" and "shooting dem" and "hiding in da clos(th)et" with his little lisp. He asks me repeatedly throughout the day "you want to play with me mom?" It just about kills me because he usually asks when I am nursing Ethan. I do play with him but I obviously can't as mcuh as he would like. It's ok because he does play with Tyler, anyway, he is really cute. He's a pill, but he's cute.

What a Good lookin' kid!

Tyler just brought home his school pictures today and wow!

Ethan's Mr. Kicky Video

Watch me go! He is moving a lot now!

Tyler and Brandon

These guys are funny. They play all day long and then at the end of each day they are very tired. They mostly play on the trampoline, it is a great babysitter. Tyler is in preschool and really likes it. Brandon hangs out with Ethan at home and is ok with that, but he gets excited when Tyler comes back.

Baby Ethan and the Boys

Ethan came to us on August 25, 2007. He was 6.8 lbs and 20.5 in long. He is now in the Johnny Jump up and happy about it. He is relly active. Tyler and Brandon really like him and they are a good help to have most of the time. Brandon is truning into a bit of an "ultimate fighter". he's tough and he's nuts. He keeps us on our toes, all 10. Cetnral Oregon is turning cold now. We had a great Halloween and can't believe that Thanksgiving is already coming soon. Wow. We are excited to see family at both Thanksgiving and Christmas.
