Family Fun

We are big Boise State fans, and for Christmas this year I got us all new shirts so we could cheer them on for the big game this year.  Kenny was late coming home (shocking, I know) so we took the picture without him.

We had a great time watching the game and an even greater time when they won!!!!

I wanted to take good pictures of our Christmas Church outfits this year, but I forgot until after church.  I had to get everyone back into their clothes, and as you can see they were less than thrilled.  *Sigh*  Maybe next year.
I'm having way too much fun matching these men:)

Too Cute!

I have found that Logan LOVES Maddie.  Not that he doesn't love the rest of us, but I'm confident that Maddie is his favorite.  He can be in the grumpiest mood and all she has to do is say hi to him and he's all smiles!  Their have been times that he seems mad at me and I hand him to her and he will calm right down.  I can already tell that she's going to be an amazing mom.  She just has this way with babies and kids.  Still, it's a little sad to think that your own baby prefers his sister over his mom:)

I wish I had taken video of this:
Logan was laughing so hard at Cole jumping, and then he would try to bounce as well!

Logan's Best Bud!  They are so cute together:)  They got to ring in their very first New Year together!  Although they were both asleep through most of it:)

Logan and Katie having a discussion:

Logan's First Food

I've forgotten how much fun it is when you introduce a baby to solid foods for the first time.  I'm pretty sure we were all laughing the entire dinner!  Logan looks really sad in these pictures because of his clogged tear ducts, but luckily that has finally gone away.  He had a good time with the rice cereal, and did a great job at eating it.  We've started a few veggies since then and he doesn't seem impressed.  Shocker- one of my kids not liking veggies!  (Heavy sarcasm)

 And the clean up process followed.

Christmas Morning 2009

Our Christmas Tree

Making the Gingerbread House and cookies- one mess that I gladly deal with!

Christmas morning the kids woke up at 3:00 AM!  We heard- "Santa came!"  Then Kenny yelled- "GO BACK TO BED!"  As excited as they were they went back up stairs until 7.

This year it seemed like Cole got everything he wanted, but he reminded me that, "Santa didn't bring me my Bumblebee Helmet."  Never content.  I reminded him that he still had a birthday coming in April and that we don't always get EVERYTHING.

Logan- opening his very first Christmas present!  And it's a BIG one:)


The big hit this year was for the girls.  They got spoiled by their Grandma and Grandpa:)  Yes- that is an American Girl doll that you see.  I have to say- I've never heard any of my kids gasp when they opened a present, but when Katie saw her American Girl doll for the first time all I heard was, "(GASP)  OH LOOK!"  I love seeing my kids shocked:)

Once unwrapped we couldn't move on until the dolls were out of their boxes.  According to Katie they needed to unwrap presents with us.

I think we all got a little spoiled this year!

Even the dog!

A Couple Photos from December

Just lounging around like always!

Our littlest bed hog.

Here is Logan doing his best impersonation of Superman.  Every time we would say, up up and away, he would strike this pose.

This is our very naughty doggie, Kasey.  When she is inside we insist that she stays "in the corner", and she always tries to look so mistreated:)

My adorable boys!
