1st Annual Brithday Bash Bonanza....






I always have wondered what the conversation is going to be like when Mitchell goes to school and he realizes that not everyone has the same exact brithday as THEIR brothers and sisters. We have already talked about it with him that he will have the same birthday each year as them and he already isn't having it. I always say, "Get used to it because it is going to be on the same day for the rest of your life." I mean, but seriously, how many people do you know that have their kids birthday all on the same day? On a more serious note, this year I have gotten more nastalgic as the kids brithdays slowly approach (February 1st). To remember where they have come from to how big they are now is amazing. My two million dollar babies, and miracles might I add, are almost one!!! And Mitchell is almost three!!! Shauna, my sister in law, says it best when people tell her that her hands must be full. She says, "Better full, then empty."

New Year's Eve






Jacob, Andrew's brother, has a new year's eve birthday every year. April, his wife, and us went to Sierra Summit that day to celebrate. (Thanks to my mom and grandma, who watched the kids) We had a lot of fun, although I did spend a lot of time on my bum. So, I went to sleep at 7 pm that night.

Fun with the cousins....







My parent's had the opportunity to have all their grandchildren here for Christmas. Here are some of the pics of them. There was one casualty. Mitchell, fell into the wall stucco in our backyard and grabbed the wall with his hands and his thumbnail came completely off. Root and all. Here is the picture of him shortly after. Last weekend we went to Andrew's Aunt Diane'e cabin in Wilsonia with my parents and my brother and his kids. We had a blast in the snow!!!

A Very Merry Christmas...








We had a great Christmas this year. It was filled with family, fun, and food. We spent Christmas Eve with Andrew's family and Christmas day with mine. Traditionally, Gale, Andrew's mom, buys all the kids pajamas for Christmas. Look at how cute they all are, well minus 3 other grandchildren! We have much to be thankful for in 2008.
