Thank You!!

Hey guys,
Thank you so much for the monster truck! Carter loves it!

A Big Boy Bed!!

This is what Carter wanted for his birthday. A Big Boy Bed!! It is a wierd experience knowing that the crib is going down and it's not coming back up -(hopefully) :)

Daija... it's waiting for you now. :)

He still calls for me in the morning to let me know that he is awake. I'm thinking.... just get out of bed yourself. But, he has done very well and loves to show people that he is a big boy. Now if we can just get the potty training thing down, mom would be very happy.

SNOW, SNOW, SNOW!!

I just wanted to share how much snow we got overnight!! When we went to bed it wasn't snowing. When we woke up and opened the blinds we couldn't believe it!!




This is what it looked like out the front door!
Mike was outside most of the day. My sister-in-laws ward got sent home after sacrament meeting so people could go and help their neighbors out! She said you could hear the YAAAAA and high fives!!

But then my sister-in-law in Sandy didn't get any snow!! CRAZY!!

Backyard Fun!

The kids are having so much fun with the hill that Mike has made for them in the backyard! He has just been snowblowing everything into one big pile!!

It's a love hate relationship. You spend 15 minutes getting them all bundled up, then they go and have to come back in to use the bathroom. Unbundle them and then rebundle them. Finally there is peace in the house. Then they come in all wet, drop all their clothes on the floor and then half an hour later after they have warmed up, they want to go back outside!

Are you smarter than a 1st grader?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

For New Years Eve, we went bowling with the Lintons! Thanks for always inviting us. It is so much fun! Mike bowled a 207! We were a little in shock, until the next game when he bowled a 123. Now that's more like it! Daija beat Jonathan and had to take a picture of the score to prove it.

After bowling we went to the Hough's to see the cousins!

Just can't get enough of GUITAR HERO

PARIS AND HAILEY

JONATHON AND DAIJA

MIKE AND RANDALL!

We had a lot of fun visiting with everybody! Uncle Bruce made killer omelette's for everybody! Hailey hung out with Paris, Josh played with Willow and Carter played with Star. It was cute to watch the cousins play! Hailey actually ended up having a sleepover with Paris! When I picked her up the next day, she said she couldn't believe she slept at a famous persons house. Hailey was sitting on Julianne's lap making funny faces onto the computer and she even got an autographed picture of Julianne. She was just thrilled.

A couple days later, we met Sharee and the family again for dinner at Goodwood for Paris' Birthday. It was fun to see everybody one last time, before we all go different directions again.
