Snow Day





James Micheal and daddy had a lot of fun in the snow, they built a fort and threw snowballs. It started snowing Saturday afternoon and didn't stop until Sunday night. The snow was so bad that they cancelled church on Sunday. And all the schools were closed on Monday. Not that it really matters, because the kids don't go to school yet. Even though the snow is a pain. It really does look beautiful. While the boys were outside Makayla decided it was a good time to get some peaceful sleep. She didn't even stay awake long enough for me to put her in her crib.So she fell asleep in her saucer. She is so adorable.

Funny James Micheal



Well, as we were eating breakfast this morning, I turn to look, and what do I see. My two year old with his cereal bowl on his head like a hat. He is so hillarious. Besides that life is going really well right now. The last couple of weeks Makayla has been making a lot of progress. She is always giggling and smiling. My mom came and babysat the kids and let James and I attend a session at the temple. It was really nice. That is all for now. Enjoy the pics of my silly little boy.

Let the Weaning Begin


Oh James Micheal say it isn't so, no more nursing!!

That's right, I said it. I am weaning Makayla off of me, finally. I am not going cold turkey like I had hoped for but half and half. Makayla is acutally doing really well with the formula, if I put it in one and only one bottle. That is the only way that girl will drink it. Ya know, I love feeding my babies, but this girl was just soo picky. I hope to have her officially just on formula next week. To celebrate this monumental occassion, I would like to say goodbye to all the wonderful things nursing involves. Goodbye to wet shirts, goodbye to going in my room and missing out on every adult conversation I have ever had, goodbye to midnight feedings. Good bye nursing, I am glad to be rid of you. Well, that is until I have another baby.

Happy New Year





Christmas is officially over, and the New Year has come. We got to spend about a half of a week up at my in-laws. There was a lot of baking and game playing. All of James' Family was there, except for his brother Jordan who is on his mission right now. We has a great time and had a lot of fun. We then headed to my parents house for about three days. James Micheal and Liam had a lot of fighting and hugging, and then some more fighting and hugging. We then went and saw a movie with my parents and the boys. We saw Alvin and the Chipmunks which was very cute. We came home for a day. Only to head out the next night. We went to our old home of Yakima and got to spend New Year's with our friends Russ and Emily. We had a wonderful time and were very sad we had to leave. We all had a very busy, but wonderful holiday. I always miss this time of year, when it is over. It was a lot of great memories. Here are some pictures of the family during Christmas break.
