Ben's 5th Birthday!

Ben had his 5th birthday a little over a week ago. We had a little family party with a lady bug cake. For gifts he got a car race track, robotic bugs, a couple of Star Wars toys and Batman Lego for the Xbox. He is a good kid and from the first picture you can tell he had a good time.

Also, Emma had hawaiian day at school. We borrowed some things from our neighbors and this is the picture.

Saturdays Adventure

So we have started trying to have adventures on Saturday. It is usually not anything big, but we try to get out and do something together as a family. This last Saturday we had breakfast at Krispy Kreme and then went to D.I. where everyone was able to pick out a book or two.

We are excited for warmer weather so we can explore some new parks, head up into the mountains, and various other types of adventures.

Spencer is 2 Years Old!

I think Spencer enjoyed his Birthday pretty well. Emma and Ben gave him a bunch of musical instruments which all the kids are enjoying. He also received a soccer net and the hoohh-haahh movie (Kung Fu Panda).



Spencer also enjoyed his clown cake (as you can see below). The picture with his hands waving is him conducting us all in our rousing rendition of Happy Birthday.

Christmas Morning

We had a great Christmas. It was fun to have my family with us.

Christmas Eve Activities

So a few pics from Christmas Eve (or at least thereabouts...). First few are the kids beating up Pa. If anyone is to lay on the floor in our house, they are asking for it.



Next, Emma lost yet another tooth. She mostly just has to gum her food now ;).



Megan and John celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve with us since they headed to California Christmas morning.



The kids all got matching pajamas this year. Dana and I thought they were kind of cute.



Finally, Emma and Ben had to go out on Christmas Eve to spread some reindeer food on the lawn with glitter in it so Santa and his reindeer would know where to land.

Building a Snowman

We had A LOT of snow the week of Christmas. In fact December was the 2nd snowiest in history. It is practically all gone now, but I have some pictures to prove it.

Ward Christmas Party

I guess it is time to start posting some Christmas pictures. We had a Ward Christmas Party on the Saturday before Christmas. The kids all had their picture taken with Santa (Spencer needed some help ;).



And then, Emma and her friend Sabra, Spencer and me eating breakfast, and the gingerbread log cabin that Dana made.
