Family Photo Op...with Big Green

10 Months and A New Addition

This Little Guy is already 10 Months!!!

This kid is busy!  He keeps me on my toes! 

He loves playing with the kitchen, following around his brother and sister, getting into the dog water, playing with his toys, babbling, and eating (who would have guessed?).  He is starting to pull himself up on things, but not quite standing up yet, he is trying different kinds of table foods, still doesn't have any teeth, and has a mullet!  We love this kid!!

New Addition!

My kids have a new cousin and I have a new niece!!!

 Morgan Elizabeth!! 

She is Beautiful, and perfect, and oh, so sweet!

Congrats to my sister Kiley and her family!  Morgan was born last Friday and we are all so excited to have another girl in the family(on my side of the family)! 

Book Signing with The Pioneer Woman

This Past weekend my mom, Kari, Cache and I (along with My dad and Mat) drove to Great Falls, MT to meet this lady!  We had a great time.  My Grandma and Aunt Lynn came with us.

 Kari, Me, Cache, Grandma Bev, My Mom, and Aunt Lynn

Waiting to hear the Pioneer Woman speak.

 Kari and Cache- he was such a trooper during this whole trip!

And Finally the Woman of the Hour!!!!

 She was super funny, and tells great stories, if you haven't ever read her blog, you should!

 Cache hamming it up for the camera

And.....then we got to meet the Pioneer Woman!

 The Pioneer Woman was Super Nice!!!  She was very outgoing and friendly, chit chatting while signing our mountain of books.

And ending the night with the Cache Man.....He was like I am so over this!

I am glad we made the trip, it was a long drive, but worth it!

Christmas Morning 2010

Cache was the first one awake on Christmas morning....he was just so excited that Santa came.....

(actually he just wanted his morning bottle)

Checking out their gifts

Max and Jeff

(I don't have any pics of Kade.....I think he was off hiding playing his new DS)

 Kenzie excited about her new Jesse Doll, and Jack excited about Lego Batman!

Cache loving his new blocks

Jackson was so excited about this Dragon from the Movie, "How to Train Your Dragon"

It is Night Fury-Toothless and Hiccup.  If you haven't seen that movie, I would recommend it.

We had a great Christmas!  Thanks to everyone that we celebrated with!

Christmas Eve 2010

This year we spent Christmas Eve at my parents house.  We started the evening off with pictures, and dinner.

 I think this is the only family photo we have since Cache has been born, how sad is that?!

 My kids....why does Kenzie always have to be so happy?

After dinner we act out the Nativity Story from the Bible 

 We had 2 of the 3 Wise men, A Shepard, Mary and Joseph

(We had to keep an eye on the little Wise man in white, he wanted to keep stealing the gold for Baby Jesus)

 My Dad reading the Christmas Story from the Bible

After the Christmas Story the kids get to open a present from their cousin gift exchange and their Christmas Jammies.  They love this time, as they have been waiting ALL DAY to open a present!

 Jeff SUPER EXCITED about his gift:)

This year Uncle Clint was fortunate enough to get some new Christmas jammies too!!!!!

 After all the fun and excitement we try and get all the kids to bed.....which takes a while:)

But it is fun to all stay together.  After the kids are down, we are lucky enough to get to spend a few hours playing games and hanging out with just the adults.  We always stay up Way too late, but that's the fun of it, right??

We Had Some Visitors

Monday Nov 29, 2010

Last Monday we were lucky enough to have some visitors out to us in Mountain Home.

The kids were super excited, because they haven't seen these guys in a long time.....since like April!

MAX MAN and AUNTIE KATIE came to visit.

The Kids enjoyed playing in the snow outside, while we had some quiet time inside to visit.

(We did see them over the weekend at my parents, but everyone was there, so it was nice to see Katie and Max all by ourselves:)

 We also had another Surprise visitor:

My BROTHER KRIS!!!

He has been in Peru serving his Mission since last September, but had to come home for a few weeks to have knee surgery.  We are excited to see him, but know that he will be leaving again to finish serving his mission.

He's chillin' on the couch.

Max LOVED Harley and Cache.  He kept asking where Harley was, and to hold the "Cute Baby"!

We are so glad you are all back!!!
