Playing in the Snow

With our first big snow fall of coarse the kids and Jared couldn't wait to go play in it.

Poor Parker had to stay inside because he didn't have his snow clothes yet.

Every year on New Years Day we usually get together and do a fun sledding day with family and cousins. But Jared got called in to work, and me and the kids went to Devan and Leslie's house to hang out, play in the snow and I sat on their couch most of the day watching dangerous mind reruns.

Parker didn't care much to just play in the snow I think he had a hard time keeping his balance. But he loved the 4wheeler rides with Uncle Devan.

Christmas Morning

Ok I should have added this photo earlier but I forgot, and I needed to show off my cute new Nephew Daynen, Nicki's baby.

Well first of all we ended up spending Christmas in Utah. My brother Daniel was able to call home while he is on his mission and of coarse I didn't want to miss that so we made arrangements, and ended up spending Christmas Eve at my Grandma's house like we did when we were kids. We also got to call Daniel which was really good but also kind of sad not being able to spend time with him through the holidays. But back to Christmas Morning, it was so fun watching Parker this year. We woke up around 6:30am which wasn't bad (considering last year we were up at 3am) Parker wasn't convinced though that he should get up. So Jared carried him to the living room where all of the gifts were. Jared sat down on the floor and the girls continued to try to get Parker to wake up. They finally dragged this big stuffed tiger over to him and said look at the toys Santa brought you. He slowly lifted his head and peeked his eyes open just a little and then just jumped on the tiger. It was so funny. Then he soon realized there was a lot more to look at and was up and running around in no time.

Yes the girls got the DS's they wanted

Nate enjoyed hanging out with us Christmas morning and Kodie is always good at giving the older kids a bad time about spending time with family when we are there.

Christmas is also Nate's Birthday, and he got a camera. Yea!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY :)

Parker is really into horses lately so I couldn't pass this one up when I found it. He is still trying to figure out how to ride it though.

Nicki, Daynen, and Sky also showed up a little later.

The girls also love to spend time with Granny!!!
