Happy 2010

We had a fun time at Christmas. It snowed and blew so much that we were stuck at home Christmas day and the day after. Here are some pictures of our fun.

Jared's first time in the backpack. This little guy LOVES being outside.

Here are the kiddo's before church:

Ryan got some new games for Christmas and we have had so much fun playing them:

Sarah is now signed up for a ballet/jazz class and is so excited to go every week:

Jared turned 7 months last week. It is hard to believe how fast they grow. He is such a cutie

Thanksgiving

I got some cute pictures of the kids and their cousins at my sisters house. We had a great time.

Grandpa and his two newest grandbabies (Jared and Lauren are about 6 months apart)

Jared and his cousin:

Fun November

Here are some pictures of the last month:

Clark took sarah and ryan up camping one last time in Nov. They went up to keyhole and then to devil's tower. They had a lot of fun, and Jared and I had fun staying home too!









Our Thanksgiving pictures are still to come. We were able to go to denver for thanksgiving. we had a great time with family and got to go to the zoo and the temple. we saw new moon on thanksgiving day and we were the only ones in the theater so that was fun. we came back on sat. because our nephew Eli was blessed on Sunday, and here is the whole family:




Last night grandpa and grandma took Sarah and her cousin to see the nutcracker. They had good time and the girls looked super cute!

Ryan's 3!!!

We had a fun time celebrating ryan's birthday yesterday. it is hard to believe he is already three. the theme for this year's party was, of course, trains.

here is his train cake:

the birthday boy with cousins:

this has nothing to do with his birthday, but last saturday we had a trunk or treat. The weather was yucky so it was inside. anyway, thanks mom for making the frog and snow white costumes, they are a hit!!

1880 train

Since my Ryan loves trains (as i assume most boys do) we decided to head over to the black hills last weekend and take a ride on the train. We wanted to do it for his birthday (which is at the end of the month), but the train stops running this weekend. Clark took Sarah and Ryan, and me and Jared drove around to pick them up. Everyone had a great time, and the weather was beautiful, (this week we have been in the 30s and snowing everyday).

Ryan talking to the train engineer:

Jared enjoying some sun, waiting for the train to arrive!

Fall Fun

Here are a few updated pictures of the kids.

Time is flying. Jared is growing like a little weed.

Ryan has got the potty training down (for the most part :)

Sarah is playing soccer. She mostly just watches the other kids play, and she is so proud if she kicks the ball at least in a game. She is fun to watch, and we couldn't ask for better weather.

Jared's Blessing

Sunday we were able to bless Jared. It went really well. It was a good thing because he was almost grown out of his outfit. He is such a special little boy. For those of you who are interested: we just finished up at Jared's two month check up and he already weighs 13 lbs. 6 oz.
