Michaela's Turning 5!!

Michaela, "I am turning 5 in just 5 days. I am so happy. I want to play games. I wish that my Aunt Emily could come to my party. I also wish my cousin Sierra could come. I want all my family to come and my Grandpa and Grandmas. I love school - especially recess. Next year I will go to Kindergarten and learn how to read better. I am not sure what I want for my birthday, maybe a My Little Pony."

This was taken at Thanksgiving Point's Dinosoar Museum. We received a full year membership from Ken and Denise Palmer for Christmas and are really excited to use it. The kids love it, we just wish Daddy could come more often with us.

Oh R2!!!

This post is by JT. "I buyed this R2 with my own money. It took like a week or two to save my money for him. One day R2D2 arrived and then we opened up the package and then I saw R2. On Christmas Day daddy opened up the box that Hasbro put inside R2. They made about 20 of those. I was so happy when Daddy opened it."

Christmas is a time for family

We are recovering from busy Holiday season filled with fun family gatherings on all sides. We are so blessed to have both of our families close by. Here are some recent pictures of the festivities.

This first picture was taken at a party we had at my parents for my Aunt Wendy's birthday. I am really happy that she will soon be moving here to Utah.

Everybody at the Christmas Eve Party at my parents new house

Sledding at Rock Canyon

JT has a mean snowball throw if you are not careful. He also has the need for speed on the sled.

Silly photos are a bit embarrassing to post, but this is how we usually look.

Bundled up and ready to sled!

Lexie's Christmas Photo Shoot

I had the school pictures of the kids but no nice pictures of Lexie to give out for Christmas. Aunt Erin's camera to the rescue! In these pictures you can see how her hair is getting really curly.

Here she is signing for "more". She knows a lot of baby sign and is becoming a very demanding little communicator.
