Happy Birthday Mr. MAX!

 Guess who turned 5?!?

MAX

 He got to have a party with 5 of his buddies

 Max was completely entertained by his dad

 Next we went to Jump on It

(the best part was it only cost me 

$12.00 because I had three coupons)

 Max loved his new race track and his new Guitar

and his "Future Missionary Bracelet" he got from Christmas. (Never takes is off)

We love our MAX!  

He is spunky, sweet, ornery, loving, precise, caring and has the worst sleep schedule of all time.  This kid runs hard all day and then we find him asleep at 5:30 and you cannot wake him up...impossible!  Then he is up at 5:15 the next morning.  We have tried to break this awful habit but when this kid is done he is DONE!  

Plus he has the cutest little face.

Happy Happy Birthday Mr. Max

Neeko is TWO!!

 The sweetest little boy ever is TWO!  

This little guy is such a sweet heart, has the best smile and loves his family.  We love our Nicholas!!!

We went to Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur museum for his birthday. The kids had so much fun.  The museum has a ton of interactive things for them to play with and explore.

After the museum we headed over to Pier 49 Pizza, Yum!

Nicholas was without a nap this day so he was DONE!!! But we had a nice time and can't believe that our NEEKO is Two.

Happy Birthday Buddy!

Merry Christmas 2011

 This Christmas was a great one! 

 I love Christmas morning and the magic that comes with it in the early morning hours. I love the look on my kids faces, I love the sleepy eyes as they are trying to take it all in.  

 I love Sydney's crazy hair as she was jumping on  Andrew's Pogo Stick

 I loved having Christmas on Sunday.  I loved hearing the beautiful Choir music and the testimonies bore about the birth of our savior and the truthfulness of the Gospel.

 Christmas dinner later that afternoon was at my cousin Shelley's house in Kaysville.

 My two oldest sisters, Leslie and Stacey

 Some of the men enjoying the "feast"

Christmas was great!  It's always amazing to me how quickly it comes and then goes.  I love this time of year, though this one was quite different.  Having three babies at home limited us to do as much as we usually do this holiday season.  We are continually grateful for all of our blessings, we have been so blessed!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The "Goings On" in December

December for us like everyone else is full of concerts and plays and programs.  I love it!  It can get busy and feel a bit overwhelming but I love the change in my regular routine. 

 Nicholas was all full of "cheer" for Andrew (his best buddy) who played the talking Bumble Bee in his elementary school play "GLOW"

Sydney and Andrew have performed with their school's choir group.

 Max had his Preschool Christmas program.  In his preschool he gets to do a little bit of dancing as well as Karate.  It was fun to see him perform this year, he has sure grown up!

 What a handsome little guy my Max is!!

 We had our ward Christmas party at the church with Breakfast, a Primary Nativity and Santa Clause.

 Sydney with her best friend Alaina (the girls all had to dress in white to look like "Angels")

 Good Morning Kalli!

 Tyler was "Joseph"

 Max is a shepherd...kind of (not quite sure how we got a shepherd out of a shark robe and a plaid head piece)

There always has to be one of these pictures.  Nicholas and his buddy Traverse not enjoying Santa very much.  

Happy Holidays!
