He's here!

Carter arrived so fast on Tuesday and we couldn't be happier!  By the time we got to the hospital to the time he arrived it was 1 hour 2 minutes.

Happy brothers and sister. 

We love him!

January in few words



This is how we roll on New Years Eve.



True Dat!

6 Year old and pure happiness.



Loving the soft snow






We live in a beautiful place.

There are no words...

Christmas Break So Far

All the kids had their Christmas programs.  Here's Parker's preschool one.  Look at those cute shirts they made.

Snowed on Christmas Eve and we had a white Christmas.



Went to This is the Place Park with Kyle's parents. 



Christmas Eve PJ's.

Walking out Christmas morning.

Enjoying family.

Had to include this.  We all wrote our names on cups so we didn't waste so many.  Spencer wrote "Spencer the Man" on his.   Carly later snuck in and wrote boob on his cup....  I thought it was pretty dang funny.  Luckily, Spencer did too.

Again, playing in the snow.  Kyle and Spencer went skiing, so the rest of us played in the snow we had out front.

Christmas Carriage Ride and Lights



We have always wanted to ride the horse drawn carriages at temple square, so this year was our year. 

This kids were sure excited! 



One of the views from our carriage ride. SO fun to see the lights all around temple square and listen to the gallop
of the horse.  Now, the only way it would have been better is if there would have been snow, but
we will take what we can get!  At least it wasn't that cold. 

After our ride, we got hot cocoa and cookies and then went and saw the nativity and walked around to see more of the lights.  It's so fun to live so close to Temple Square!

Locks of Love

Carly before school this morning, with wet hair, but I HAD to take a picture of her long hair!  We were headed to get her hair cut right after school.

Ready for the first snip

No going back!

Holding her 12 inch ponytail.

After with cute Aunt Kelli.

Here's the final product.  She loves it and when we got home she kept looking in the mirror and saying how cute her hair was. 

Proud of her for choosing to donate her hair to Locks of Love! She's such a cutie!

Snow!

It's snowed pretty much every second the past 2 days.  The kids have loved it! 

Someone was eating the snow.

My Monsters

The kids in their costumes for the ward Trunk or Treat.  They were beyond excited.

In their costumes for Halloween.  A couple of costume changes...

He is all about spiderman these days. 

And these two are at the game today.  Spencer hasn't been to a Home game since he was 6 months old!  He went a couple times when the U played UNM down in Albuqueruque.  He was SOOOO excited! 

San Diego

We went on a last minute vacation to San Diego.  Here are tons of pictures:

We had to go to the beach!  So fun!

Collected a ton of sea shells

We stayed until the sun set.  So relaxing and so beautiful! 

We went to SeaWorld.  You should have seen all of us crammed into a photo booth!!

You can't tell, but these two were SOAKED!  Sat on the 3rd row.

Had fun feeding the sea lions (and trying to keep the fish away from the seagulls-one snatched a fish right out of Spencer's hand.)

Road on every ride

Took a day and went to the San Diego Zoo.  The second half of the day, it got so crowded!  We saw everything we could, and then left early to keep our sanity. 

We couldn't leave without standing in line to see a panda though. 

Everyone is doing their elephant impersonation.

The kids went swimming a lot at our hotel.

Don't know why this is so blurry, but you get the idea.  After the zoo, we went to the Mormon Battalion site.  Super fun! Then we went to Old Town and ate a yummy dinner.

Went to SeaWorld again for day 2.  It rained most of the day, but was still super fun.

Kyle feeding the sting rays a fish.  Look at that thing suck on his hand!  The kids didn't dare try, but Kyle and I had fun feeding them!

Argh!



Great picture of one of the fun rides!  Love the kids faces
of pure terror.  :)
