Lucas is 3

For Lucas' 3rd birthday we went to one of our favorite kid spots: Pirate Island!!! We had a blast letting the kids run wild and eating greasy pizza.

10 Virgins

Marcia starred in a great production of the play "10 Virgins". This was a great chance for her to showcase her fantastic voice. She was a bit nervous, but no one could tell, since she pulled off her part amazingly. One special thing about this version of the play was that the group translated the original song lyrics into Portuguese.

The spirit was very strong, and the powerful analogy was really brought to life. One of the interesting points was that Marcia's character was someone who loved God, and prayed every once in a while, but because of apathy, ended up being one of the "unprepared". It was a wise reminder to seek out the Lord.

Barry's reception

Bryce's old college room mate Barry from freshman year at BYU in Heritage Halls got married (cough finally). It was a great reunion of all the crazy college boys.

Here they were all doing "Blue Steel" since Zoolander was a bit hit with this crowd.

In the Picture is Mitch Manley, Pat, Marshall Manley, Barry Nelson, Wally Roskelly, Bryce Barrand, Ryan Lennberg and Ty Wilde. Its probably for the best that these guys only get together every few years.

Salt Lake Children's Museum

Our boys love these kids museums! Look at the smiles on those little faces :)

New Years 2011

Diego and Melissa, from our Portuguese ward, were awesome enough to invite us over to hang out with Melissa's family. It was a wild night of Bunco! (a crazy dice game that the whole extended family played)

Christmas 2010

Christmas eve we hung out with some of our Brazilian friends making a ruckus. Christmas day, we had the Runyans and Austin over to play games and enjoy Christmas.

Barrand Christmas Pictures 2010

Coolest family picture ever!! Well, thats what we say every year :) This theme was 80's. Bryce's mom did a fantastic job with the outfits as usual.
