Bryce was loving all the female attention

We are back

January and February went by in a blur. In January I went to Vegas with my sisters and mom just to play and get away. We had a blast, good food, shopping, and time spent with my best friends. February is always fun. The kids love making cookies and delivering them. I surprised Kev with a little get away trip for valentines and his birthday. We went to phoenix to visit my sister Michele and Cody. Again a nice getaway with just the two of us. Life is busy with three kids and everything else in between, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

The New Year and Random Photos

Friday, January 18, 2008

Happy New Year! I realize we are a little behind on that one but I hope it is happy none the less. We have been super busy trying to keep up with the 3 leaders of our pack. Lara took a trip to St. George with her sisters and mom. That is right, Dad had all 3 hood rats for 4 days. We are all still alive and we didn't eat out for every meal. It is FREEZING cold here in the SLC and we have been spending more time than usual indoors. Not much to report so I included some random photos of hanging out and one of Sam trying to upstage cousin Ed, we couldn't find any cereal lubricant though.

Sam obviously was enjoying himself

Rylee was to cool to look at the camera

I am telling you, there is some serious MISCHIEF behind that little smile!

Bekah has decided that she only likes to eat the frosting, well at least the frosting that gets into her mouth.

HO, HO , HO

We had a wonderful Christmas at our house, the jolly old man swung by and dropped off some tidings of joy. Almost as great as having your kids yell Daddy and run over and give you a big hug when you come home from work is the craziness that overtakes your kids on Christmas morning. Growing up my Dad always tortured us by making us sit there and wait until he was ready to go in the room, so naturally I do the same thing. They really haven't gotten annoyed until this year. Rylee really wanted to destroy me! As always we read the story of the Saviors birth and reminded the kids why we truly celebrate Christmas and then they go crazy and tear open everything in site. We always go to Lara's parents for Christmas breakfast and then return home and get some much needed rest. I have included some photos from the crazy day! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Sam had that smile on his face almost the whole day! He was in CARS heaven

Rylee showing off her new doll house. (I Feel sorry for the elf that had to build it)

Sam had the same face even after he opened 13 of those CARS characters (seriously 13)

Rylee played Mary in Grandma Vicki's pageant of the Saviors birth (Yearly Tradition)

Bekah showing off her new Electric Guitar (What was Santa thinking???)

Rylee has been driving Bekah around everywhere in her new wheels (Check out the Chrome)

Sam again with that silly smirk in his new race car!

ZOO LIGHTS

Wednesday, December 26, 2007

We took the Kids to the ZOO to see the animal light show. For those of you with kids who have not been, this is GREAT! Our kids love the ZOO and this just adds to the fun. Some of the animals are sleeping or inside but the lights are great! Sam got to go in and see the White alligator so all was well with us. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Rylee showing off the pearly whites, she hasn't quite figured out how to smile normal yet.

The whole fam in the mouth of the Walrus!

Sam and Rylee with their GQ poses

Once he saw the Alligator I thought he would never leave!

Bekah sure looks harmless, don't be fooled!!!

Lara and Bekah before she realized that she was FREEZING!

Long Delay

Monday, December 17, 2007

It has been quite awhile since the last post. I have been preoccupied and have seriously slacked lately. Since our last post we have celebrated Sam's 3rd birthday, Halloween and Thanksgiving. Rylee tried to teach Bekah how to ride the eliptical trainer and all Bekah got was a fat lip (see below). Since pictures speak a thousand words, I will let them do the talking. I wish you all a wonderful holiday!

Happy 3rd Birthday Sam! For those of you that know Sam, you can imagine his joy with the CARS cake. So much so that if you look closely you will notice the damage to the front wheel. He pulled it off the counter just to get a peek. Major props to Lara for making this Lighting McQueen cake.

Another view of the CARS cake and the damage Sam caused.

My cake YUM!

On Halloween Lara and the kids went to visit her Granny and stock up on candy!
