Shout out for Shane

I missed announcing Shane's 30th birthday. The hill is now in sight. ( I can say this because I am still a few years off) Happy Birthday!

Cole is 4!

Cole had a busy and fun birthday. In order of requested events; breakfast and McDonalds with his best bud Blake, lunch with Leesa and Tim (again at McDonalds), the afternoon at the Dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point (he has a new dinosaur obsession), dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Reary, ending with germ-covered fun and games at Chuck-E-Cheese. He had a great time. I on the other hand, am hoping in hind-sight that next year won't have to be bigger and better.

More Christmas

For the first time in four years my whole family was together on Christmas. There was much to do and lots of fun cousin time to be had. There was the traditional pile of kids (this has been passed down from our generation and should be done at every opportunity), sledding, hugging, a chocolate fountain, new Christmas pjs (thanks Leesa), and of course the Christmas Eve Nativity story.

Caleb meets Santa

Christmas has been more fun each year with Cole getting older, a bit more expensive too. This year his Santa list included a trampoline, a train, guns, the red Costco kitchen, the child size Escalade (Costco), and the life-like dinosaur (also found at Costco). Lesson learned, avoid Costco during the holidays. We had fun and Santa brought Cole a couple of things found on his detailed list. Caleb met Santa for the first time this year. There wasn't any crying, just a lot of staring.

Early Christmas

We spent some time in Roosevelt before Christmas to see the fam. Cole had fun helping his Dad drive Grandpa Reary's tractor. He also hitched a ride on Bridger's new bike. It was such a fun and exausting day he later took a nap with his "best friend" and cousin Lyndsie.

Announcment

On December 13th Shane and I discovered we are going to be adding more madness to our already crazy family. Thats right, baby #3 is on the way. This wasn't planned, but two positive pregnancy test later, there was no denying it, we are having another baby in August.

Caleb turned 1! (11/17/08)

Caleb is one! How the time flies. He is such a smiley baby, but don't let that fool you. He has got quite a fiesty streak, he loves hitting, scratching and recently biting. We are hoping it is just a phase and he will go back to our good natured baby.
