can you tell which one was really bummed they didn't get to go skiing with Dad last Saturday?

and the other just thinks he's smarter than the rest of us, as most 2 year olds are. During sacrament meeting I gave him a tic tac box with 6 left in it & James held out his hand to Thomas to ask for one and Thomas put the box behind his head and held out his empty hand saying "gall gone daddy, gall gone."



Easter...

weekend in St. George
sunny and warm with lots of cousin play time. These kids spent most of their time playing in Grandpa's empty pool

walked in to check on the chickens and walked

right out b/c of the poopy smell, how cute.

Homemade peanut butter eggs made by these little hands and put in the fridge to chill, never to be seen again because Grandpa ate them all

Uncle Dave swam with the kids after the Sand Hollow water egg hunt...he makes any event 10X more fun, always.

Please notice Grey getting his fingers aligned for the next picture :)

who else but Jody would shave all this white chocolate and spend forever on these cute blue birds all to be devoured within minutes. They were cute.

I guess this is how my dad likes to pose for pictures now?

Bryn is over posing with Suzy who wins cutest baby bump, ever.

Deb with Connor who will be 16 this year...crazy.

Me brother Joseph with us below

Tammy and Kelsey (I don't think I've had a picture of the two of them together since they were married!)

I had the wrong lens to get the full shot

second try

third try captured all the goofy cousins minus 7



Alex is turning 16 this year too

um brynee? aren't you upposed to feed me?

                                                  

                                                                                      these boys got plenty of attention

The baby of the family turns one!

we had way too much fun celebrating St. Patricks Day (because normally we just wear green) but this year we combined the birthdays of Ninna and Reid to make it a REAL party...

why is she getting all the love...i think i'm green with envy

oh, that's more like it

What a fun and fast year!

(maybe next year he will actually be able to impress Ninna by chasing after her :)

Look who called Child Protective Services...

when CPS showed up, Reid had two complaints...

1. why does my momma think she can stop nursing me and then use a clean load of laundry to prop up my bottle?

2. why is my bottle pink?

does anyone feel sorry for me?



Summer and Tessa earned their 'self manager' badge at their elementary school so every Friday this month they get to enjoy the perks such as dress up like a Rock Star

I'm glad we had some pajama pants willing to be cut up at the last minute b/c somehow that just made them feel like their hair was rockin'

i am 11 months old and i have 1 tooth

pretty happy about it too!

rewind to back in time...

So here is the run down on why I have much to catch up on in the lovely months of November and December of 2011

• My sister Tammy came the first week of November while James went hunting, two words...So Fun.
• Thanksgiving rolls around and we finally get another great holiday to spend with Monte, Chris, Jordan, & Emily who drove all the way from Moses Lake, one word...Fabulous.
• We get notice that the owners of our rental home want to move back in by the 21st of December, three words...Who does that?!!! (but now that the work of moving is over we are so glad b/c our new rental in same neighborhood is waaay better b/c it has a basement :)
• First weekend in December Summer and Tessa were baptized! One word...Beautiful.
• James parents come for a visit but it landed on the weekend we were moving (tickets were bought previous to eviction notice) Seven words...bummer for them but helpful for us.
• December 15th Eliza turned 10, five words...she feels so grown up.
