Outside our hotel in Salt Lake.

Gram took us all to the Discovery Children's Museum and everyone had a wonderful time!

Christmas Morning

Matthew in his Rasta hat from Denton

My handmade, perfect fitting Rasta sandals from Denton. I love them!

Christmas eve left overs :) and then off for a nap.

Bostyn is not in her cute christmas jamies because at about five in the morning she suddenly said "Oh no mom! I thought I was sitting on the toilet!" and started crying. She was up in a bunk bed above the queen bed that Jesse and I were sleeping in and she obviously dreamed she was sitting on the toilet and let it loose and the waterfall went off the side of her bed and right onto me! Needless to say I was giving her a bath while Jesse changed the bedding at five on Christmas morning.

Christmas from Gramma Cathy and Randy!!!

Buckle your seat belts... got some pretty excited kids coming up. I told them they couldn't open the big box of stuff from Gramma Cathrine until Christmas... so Ethan called her and got her permission :) ... and here we go!

Some birthday presents for Maryanne... eating the paper of course. I do feed her as you can tell by her chubby legs!


Ho Ho Ho!

My baby girl is ONE! and so stinkin' cuTe!

Happy Birthday to our Sweet, sweet Maryanne! Starting out dinner with some yummy potatoes.

Gotta love those Candy Canes... and eight teeth!
Ummm.... She didn't get that from me...
She is honest to heaven my most hilarious child yet!... believe it or not.

Playing Memory with Gram and Matthew...


She got so excited! When we handed her the first present. She hugged it and laughed and wouldn't let anyone touch it...
Then she ate it...

Bostyn gave her a cute little phone that makes lots of noises... she loves it! I am hoping now that she will quit taking mine.

Needed a little help from her Big brother!



Carrot cake! She stuck her dainty little finger in and tasted the frosting a few times and ate the carrot off the top and that is about as messy as it got.


Gosh we love this baby girl! Can't believe we have had her for a year already!
