My little butter ball...I mean boy

December 29, 2009
Cole found an entire pound of butter. He had a great time eating, playing, wearing , and decorating himself and the new kitten. We have locks on everything yet he still finds a way to get into everything while I am feeding the baby.





Reese's New Year's Eve outfit

We had a bunch of friends over for a New Year's Eve party. All of the kids were playing in the basement and out of nowhere Reese came up with this ensemble.

Notice the panties and tights that are riding low.


The Jelly Belly Boy

December 30, 2009

Cole found the big bag of Jelly Bellies that Santa brought me. Apparently he watched me put them away in the high cabinet, so after I went to feed the baby he decided he was hungry. He just moved the bar stool over to the counter, climbed up and got them out of the cabinet. He sat back down and had himself a good little snack.


Happy Birthday Tate

December 29, 2009


Today our little Tate turned seven. It just seems like yesterday that she was born. She was born 2 weeks early and much to my relief, because she was 9 lbs. 1 oz. She was a very content baby. She was a welcome addition to our little family. We love you our little Tater Tot.

Happy Anniversary

December 27th, 2009

Nine years ago today Cord and I were sealed for time and all eternity in the Boise,ID temple. It is hard to believe that it has been 9 years already, yet at the same time it is crazy that we have just been married 9 years. We have had a busy, crazy, yet wonderful time. The best is yet to come.

Christmas

December 25, 2009

Every year Christmas just keeps getting funner. The kids have been so excited for the big day.They have been counting down the days. Last night they could hardly contain themselves they were so excited. We had a wonderful time opening presents, with a few minor exceptions. Reese Hated her Puppy in a purse when she opened it and refused to even look at it. After a few minutes she finally looked at it and decided she loved it even more than the one she had seen in the store (phew). We were so busy taking video and opening presents for 9 people we forgot to take any pictures. Here are the few we snapped throughout the day.

The kids waiting to come down the stairs Christmas morning.
The stockings were too full to hang by the chimney.
Try and guess where Cole's basketball hoop is? This picture doesn't do justice to the insane amount of presents there were. Every year we say that we are going to scale back, but this always happens in the end.
Santa and his helpers moved the Christmas tree to the family room so there would be enough room for all of the presents.
Cole found a comfortable seat....
in Kinley's doll stroller.
Cole checking out his b-ball hoop. I think Santa got it a little too big.
