On the move

This kid LOVES his Spaghetti! Though he is not a lot of fun to clean up after he is done eating.

Nicholas is walking!

He has been taking steps since he turned one but has been very careful. He has finally gotten enough courage to stand up and walk, now he is all over the place. He is so cute and always has such a bright smile on his face.

I had this hat on and he wanted it. He would not let me have it back. He is such a fun kid, so sweet and is always smiling.

Rub a dub dub...

I know that someday they will kill me for posting this but I just couldn't resist. This tub is not a very big tub but all four boys insisted on taking a bath together.
It makes me laugh!

Ty's Basketball Team

"The Bombers"
Tyler just got finished playing basketball. He had a great experience and was an awesome player. Unfortunately I think the team only had one win. The boys had great attitudes and learned a whole lot in their first year.

Just because...

Nicholas in the shower! He loves to take a shower, I can't believe how much he is looking more and more like Tyler every day.

Raegan and the Babies
Babies, Babies and more Babies. It seems like we always have some one holding, burping or rocking a baby at all times.

Max LOVES his babies. He calls them Chayce and Chandver

Our Monster Max is 4!!!

Happy Happy Birthday to Max!!!
He turned four this past week. With the birth of our new boys I didn't want his birthday to get over looked.
He got this cool roller coaster thing that he loves.

Grandma came over to give Max his gift, I told Max to say "Cheese" and Nicholas apparently thought I was talking to him.

Max got a Pillow Pet and LOVES it. He was pretending to be asleep on it. He is a funny, funny kid!

Raegan and Jake
That evening Chad took the kids, my nephew Jake, my niece Jonni and one friend for Max to MacO Donalds (that is how Max says it) for dinner.

Silly, silly boys!!

Farewell Elder Julian

Jackson and Max
(Max has some awesome bed head going on)

My nephew Jackson came to Utah from Colorado to go into the MTC. (Mission Training Center) to prepare to serve a mission in the Fresno, CA mission. He is such a great cousin to my kids. He loves to play and wrestle with them. He will be an awesome missionary!!!

Jackson with Tyler and Dylan

The boys love to wrestle! Max wanted to wrestle too!

Poor Max

We will miss you Elder Julian!

Elder Julian right before heading to the MTC
It will be fun to see these boys reunite in two years.

Nicholas and Jackson

A sweet moment between Jackson and Chayce.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year 2011

We thought this year we would just have a quiet night at home playing games with the kids. Until I won catering from Kneaders for 20 adults!
WHAT?? Are you kidding me?
I was so excited, now we had to have a party!

We invited a few neighbors and friends over and we had a blast!!! The kids had a blast. We played games and played dance party on the wii and of course we ate and ate and ate!!!

We love Kneaders!
They provided a Sandwich Buffet, a fruit platter, a vegi and dip platter and a dessert platter as well as 20 cans of soda. It was awesome!!! We also had pizza (for the kids and Chad) as well as dips and treats made by our friends.

Jessica and Maggie

Grandma came for about an hour and decided that there was just too much noise and that her quiet house sounded a little better to her. We enjoyed her while she was there!

Brian, Rich and Chad,
I don't think these guys were ever in sync!

The Kids Turn

Even Big Momma Cassie (9 months prego with twins) danced...I was sure hoping it would send me into labor...no luck!

Whit, Chad and Andrea getting their "groove" on

Max didn't last very long.

We had a great time, tons of laughing and I think we burned as many calories as we ate!!
Happy New Year,
may this year bring everyone peace, love, good health, friendships, forgiveness, happiness and prosperity!

Happy First Birthday Nicholas!

Nicholas just finished a handful of Spaghetti. His favorite!

My baby is 1! Nicholas turned one years old and we were able to go to a really fun place called Incredible Pizza Company. (We were going to go anyway so we figured we would go on his birthday and celebrate)

Tyler with Andrew, Chad and my sister Stacey in the back ground.

They have an all you can eat buffet, the kids enjoyed every bit of it!

It also has a huge arcade with tons to do for all ages.

Later that night we went over to grandma's to celebrate with Birthday cake. Nicholas didn't love it too much. Not sure if he was just tired or experiencing a little of the flu that we had all had previously during the week.

All of the kids love their baby brother. He is such a sweet heart who loves to smile all of the time. He is always so pleasant. He can stand up all by himself but won't take a step and still has very little hair on his head!
He says mommy, daddy, Ra Ra (Raegan), Kalli, and Mamamama (grandma) oh and Night Night. We love you sweet Nicholas!!!
