The Other Siblings..

Jeff and his wife Breezy

Again...aw.

Jeff. Nice goat huh. He is such a nut.

Coltin, putting on that lotion baby. He is working it! Such a nerd.


Teresa Lou. Seriously cant find many. She is pretty quiet and usually will be in a corner with a book. I will have to get some more and show ya.


I talked to a friend and she said she would love to see what Jeff and Teresa look like after not seeing them for so long. So I am just posting a few...

Fishy Elves

Happy Birthday Liah!

Isn't he sweet??


Kindergarten



Bear River City T Ball


Love this one, don't know what he is doing though..


Loving the glasses. Camping at the Gorge.



The rope swing at Flaming Gorge. So much fun.




Snowboarding at Beaver Mountain.



Target Practice.



Jed and his wife Chelsea...



Today is my wonderful brother, Jed's 21st birthday. He is seriously the greatest. He is in Fallujah, Iraq right now serving with the US Marines. He went over in June and should be home late Spring. We are so proud of him.


Love you lots! You take care of yourself and cover your own ass!!! Have a wonderful birthday. Hopefully you saved a cupcake. Miss you.

Turkey and Idol...What More Do You Need??

Marcus and Jordin during a snowball fight. They did get 1" of snow while we were there...

Chelsea (Jed's wife) with her stylin Cowboy hat.

Missy (Marcus' sister) and her Botox face. Cracks me up.

So we spent Thanksgiving in Aztec, NM, visiting some of our friends... We had a great time...ate way too much and went shopping. The perfect weekend. Marcus, me, Jodie and Randy went out on Friday night and went to an Indian Reservation Casino...Marcus and I won like $300 RIGHT ON!! We were so excited. It was a lot of fun. Then visited this amazing brewery in Durango CO called Carters.. Yum. Anyhow, that night we played American Idol. I bought it thinking that it was a trivia game, but it was more like 'you are the contestant' game. It was still a lot of fun. Hilarious. So I posted random pictures from this weekend. Hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We did. I can't believe that it is almost Christmas!!! Insane!!

Idol Jammin. It was hilarious at the time.

Missy, McKenna, Chelsea, Jordin and Jodie. Lane is in the background... It was a blast! and yes, we suck!

The Not So Little, Little Brother...

My baby brother, Coltin, is almost 18 and a Senior in High School. That is insane. I think little siblings should be frozen at the age that you leave the house, so CJ would be 8 forever. It is weird to think that he is that old.

Anyways, Rock Springs High had their Winter Ball this last weekend and Coltin brought over his date, Brianna, to show us how studly they are. Loved their shoes. Coltin didn't want to wear the tux shoes so he stole some from Marcus' collection. Then when Brianna had flip flops, it was hilarious. They looked great and had a fun night.

Fighting for Computer Time...

Our "dotcom" obsessed three year old...


With our three year old!! Seriously. Marissa loves to play on "dotcom". Once you pull the page up for her, she can navigate her way through all sorts of games, stories and, yes, she even knows how to print!!

It is hard to imagine that a three year old is so computer savvy. I remember my parents being hesitant to buy a computer when I was 12ish, because "what would they use it for?". Now it is something found in nearly every household...and in a lot of cases there is more than one. It is just amazing to me.

But, it does create some issues; we also have a five and nine year old that need their computer time for 'WebKins' (If you haven't been introduced to these, get ready! It is a stuffed animal that you have, but it also has a virtual life. You get online, enter its code and it pops on screen. You then are able to build it a home, are responsible to feed it and make sure that it doesn't get 'sick' from neglect or whatever. They really are pretty cool, but holy cow!) We also have Marcus' 15 year old sister, Missy, staying with us. You know that she is fighting for computer time as well. Insane!

Anyways, just love that Marissa is so obsessed with "dotcom", and thought that I would share.

Swimming....

Drinking that yummy water. Thankfully when I caught her, she would spit it out. Ew.


Brady.

Kenna and Marissa...

So... A friend and I decided that we would take the kids out to get pizza today and then to the Rec Center to go swimming. They loved it and had so much fun.

Marissa thought she was so cool because she could swim all by herself. It was 2 feet deep... She kept trying to drink the water though, I am surprised that she isn't sick.

Brady is in that stage where he doesn't quite know how to swim but likes to think he can. He had to stay in the kiddie pool, but was pretended to swim "faster".

Kenna has always been our water baby. She learned to swim at a young age and loves it. So she was all over they place. She did spend a lot of the time in the kiddie pool though, just because she didn't want Brady to feel left out. How sweet is that?

Hopefully, I no longer get the "Mom of the Year" award!

K, so I cheated. Doesn't he look exhausted? Poor guy. He wanted to be a vampire this year so he could scare away the clowns. He is absolutely TERRIFIED of pretty much everything like that...the Chucky E Cheese guy, the Rebel Man, the M&M guy in Las Vegas....but especially clowns, they are at a whole other level. So that was his reasoning, but he didn't want to be a "dead" vampire (with blood) because he didn't want to scare Marissa. So sweet.

Halloween...

Marissa was a chicken. Too Cute. She was bowling at her Halloween Party for Preschool.

This is Daylin, the bat; McKenna, the Spider Witch; and Mallory, Spiderella...Kenna's bestest friends..at her school party.

The group we went trick or treating with..
Dillon, Brady, Ian, Matthew, Kenna, Mallory, Daylin and Marissa. (This is the one I am going to zoom and crop. Poor Brady!)

He was in "character" being a vampire with Aunt Missy. Nut.


So Halloween. I think I get the mother of the year award! I took hardly any pictures, which is really weird for me. I did great at the school parties but that night...not so much. I don't think I got any of Brady once his face was painted. How sad. I guess that is why they invented zoom and crop!

We had too much fun though.
