6 Months in Review!

I still have more pictures to blog and I want you to know, you will be here a while. Everytime I blog, I apologize because I can't figure out how to upload the pictures in order. Keep in mind, it is me and just continue to LOVE me!

CHRISTMAS 2009

The kids and I flew down to Utah a week early at Christmas. I have so many wonderful memories of Beaver and they ALL start in Beaver. When Kyle and I were dating, he brought me home for Christmas. That is when all my favorite memories were made and so for me, home is Beaver. And I love having Christmas in Beaver. Having said that, I do wonder what it is like to have Christmas in our house. We have only had it one time and we were blest to have mom, dad and Anth come up here. Maybe we can get them all to come up here this year for Christmas??? What do you think Dad? Our kids, Kyla, Kade, Kambri and Miley are everything our parents live for! How cute is this picture? I love it.

My brother Anth! The best guy, 2nd to my husband, out there! The best daddy a kid could ask for!

See what I mean about the order of the pictures. It is so funny how Kambri had to have the window seat! None of the kids wanted to sit by the man so I had too! Kyla and Kade were so good to take care of Kambri.

Grandpa and Miley! Dad, you look so dang happy!

Aunt Marci and Miley! I can tell that we are going to be great friends!

Okay, everyone knows that Kambri has a mind of her own. She saw this and had to get in it. We were at the Evan's yearly Christmas party. Anyways, Kambri went all over this room in the walker. She cracks me up.

My funny girl. She knows how to make her mommy smile.

Miley did not like Santa. She just wanted her sweet daddy! Daddy's girl.

Priceless Picture.

Kambri mothering Miley. I love how Miley is looking at Kambri and Kaden. She is such a beautiful baby.

Holy GORGEOUS!

KYLA'S 7TH BIRTHDAY

Kyla's favorite dinner is chicken pillows and here is daddy getting his hands dirty, so to speak!

How lucky is she to have such wonderful dinner guests.

Then they bought her a present too!

Elder Hofstedt and Elder Christensen

Kaden really wanted to sleep in our room and me being the big huge meany I am, I said no. This is how he responded to my "no". How cute is he?
CUTE RANDOM PICTURE

FAMILY HOME EVENING

Kyle did Family Home Evening and the lesson was on the Holy Ghost. He is so funny. He put some eggs on the floor in no particular order. After blindfolding the kids, he replaced the eggs with crackers in case the kids didn't follow directions, but the kids were thinking they might step on eggs. Then he stood at the other end of the room and in a small, quiet, calm voice, gave the kids commands so they could navigate their way through a maze of crackers.

Here is Kambri at the close of the exercise, saying the prayer.

I love my little Kaden, but he is such a cheater! He totally was looking underneath the scarf.

We had Kaden put on a different one to see if he could do it without peeking.

Kyla at school!

Always making us laugh

Kyle and I both love Hawaii. I am proud of his hard work and happy that he could have some time back there again. I only wished I could have gone too. One day, I know he will take me again!!
