The beanie

Darn.  I hate it when my hat flaps over my face when I'm trying to sleep!

Loose Tooth

Rease had her first loose tooth this week.  She was super excited at first and kept wiggling and wiggling on it.  Then when she realized it was ready to come out she got a little nervous.  She didn't want anyone to try and take it out for her.

 It was pretty loose and would get more loose as she ate and food caught on it.  She decided she wanted Papa to try and take it out.

 So off we went to the dental office and she was happy as a clown with the laughing gas on.  No more cares in the world. 

 Then before she knew it, Papa had the tooth out and she was once again excited. 

 The tooth fairy is going to visit tonight!



Happy 1st Birthday Canyon!

Canyon turned one on January 9th.  Hayley planned the cutest cookie monster party for him. 

She made different kinds of cookes and had them all displayed.  Then had chocolate milk and regular milk in mason jars for everyone to drink.  It was darling!

The kids loved it and couldn't get enough cookies.

This is the cake Hayley made for Canyon to eat. 

He didn't quite know what to do with it at first, but it didn't take long for him to dig in!

Happy Birthday little Canyon!

Making a Mess

Liev is always getting into something and silently making a mess.  This time it was a whole bag of teddy grahams. 

Scrunched

I've been watching Canyon lately as Hayley has had to fill in at work a lot.  The kids have fun when he's here and it's great to have cousing close by to play with.  We do have to get Rease from the bus stop every afternoon and this particular day I had Josh's car.  It was no problem - they all scrunched in the backseat and had a blast playing.  Who needs more room than this?

Couples Bunco

I've been in a bunco group for over 3 years now and we get together once a month to play.  We have a great time together and usually end up chatting most of the night away.  Anyway, one of the girls suggested that once a year we do a couples bunco and bring our spouses with us.  We decided to start the year off right and had our couples bunco night at the beginning of January.  It was such a fun night together with everyone and I'll have to say it was much more intense with all the men there.  They were very serious about the game!  But we had a great time and decided they can be invited back to play with us once a year. 

More Sledding

Josh loves taking the girls sledding on our hill.  Each time he gets a little more serious about it.  Today he made this "sweet" jump for them to go off. 

 Rease ended up under the fence and almost over the edge one time.  But they thought it was "awesome"  and didn't want to stop.  What a fun winter it has been so far!



BYU Game

Dad got tickets to a BYU basketball game from another doctor at the last minute one night.  So Rease and I packed up and joined him at the game.  The seats were right on the floor and included dinner before and snacks at halftime.  We felt like celebrities! 

 Plus it helped that we won the game! 

 After the game as the players were leaving the court, we saw Brandon Davies and he shook our hands and got a picture with Rease.  Wow is he tall!

It was a really fun game and so great to have such good seats!

Big Foot

Liev wants to be just like his dad!  He's handsome just like dad - that's for sure!

Baby Keen

Keen is the best baby.  He has been such a fun little guy to have around and is doing so many things right now.  Just wanted to share them with you. 

He has the biggest smile.  It lights up his face when he grins from ear to ear!

 I had to take a picture of these diapers that we are using right now.  My mom had a bunch of diapers in storage that she has had since we were kids.  She finally decided she could part with them so we all split them up and each got a bunch to use.  These are the old, fat, plastic kind with the sticky tabs.  They are quite a sight.  They do the trick, but I'll have to say we will be glad when our stash of mom's diapers is all used up!

 Keen has strong legs and always wants to stand when we're holding him.  Just wants to be a big kid!

 He is an expert roller too.  No keeping him in one place anymore!

 And he has the yummiest, rolly legs that I love to tickle and munch on.  Look at those rolls - aren't they the best?

You're the best Baby Keen!

Happy Birthday Josh!

Once again the group gathered at our house for the annual Panini Party for Josh's birthday.  I think this is 6 or 7 years in a row that we've done this and it is always a great day.  Not only do we get to celebrate Josh's birthday, but we get to hang out with our friends and family for a day!  Our house is just big enough to fit everyone but we all squeezed in just fine! 

 Our little family when Josh turned 34. 

Wow - 34!  Really Josh, that is old!

We sure do love you though and I am thankful every day that you're my partner!  Hope your day was a great one!
