Home Sweet Home Pics - Michael & Family

Well, here is a photo -- yeah, finally! We love our new home so much! Our fruit trees are doing well (no peach curl on the peach tree, thank goodness!). Our garden is growing so-so: broccoli, tomatoes and cabbage growing best so far. Caitlin and Julianna continue to inspire our days with joy and we are HAPPY!!! By the way, Alicia helped to paint the fence during her college break. Looks nice, hmmm?

Happy Easter!

These are outfits I made for the kids this year. It's a Prall tradition. I'm still definitely an amateur, but it's fun anyway.

Elizabeth's Pregnant!

The baby's due in September.
And thus it continues that she is pregnant for every reunion, starting with the 1997 reunion.
(I guess it's a good thing we don't have those annually!)

Yes, I am engaged... to a Coleman!

Hey everyone! I am engaged to Christine Coleman! We will be getting married on August 14th in the Salt Lake Temple. We met fall 2007 in our BYU ward, and we have been dating since June 2008. She is from Sandy, UT, and is majoring in Humanities (history emphasis) and minoring in Business. It goes without saying that she is an awesome girl and I love her.
I hope that it also goes without saying that we are not blood-related! You may be thinking right now, "Yeah, she is a Coleman. Maybe they're related.... Yeah!" We have been aware of this connection even before we started dating, and with the help of our genealogies we have discovered that we are not related--Special thanks to the Coleman family historians:) We think this is a funny coincidence and we extend a warm welcome to all the jokes which will inevitably be made ;)
With much to everyone,
Jason and Christine

Nellie Is 6 Months Old!

My how time flies. Here is our pretty little girl, growing up fast.

She holds herself up well these days. No crawling yet, though.

She is crazy about her big brother Sam. She laughs at him all the time.

H&R Block

As many of you know, I just started a job working for H&R Block as a tax preparer. I'm allowed to do 5 "Family and Friends" returns for $20 each, so if you want me to do your taxes for that price, please let me know. I have to tell them who will be getting the discount by January 15. The $20 includes federal and state taxes, e-filing, and the H&R Block standard guarantee (they pay penalties and interest if your taxes are done wrong). You'll have to send me some of your tax documents and spend some time on the phone with me while I'm working on your return. There are also some blackout dates when I can't do your return because our office will be extremely busy (so no waiting until April 15). I won't be an expert on your particular tax situation, especially because none of you live in Oregon, but I'd love the learning experience, and everything I do will be checked by an experienced tax preparer. Email me at carriemichellerose@gmail.com by January 15 if you have any questions or if you want to get the discount.
