I forgot!

I forgot that I had other pictures. I did not know that Tahlia would just fall asleep when she get tired enough. Here is the proof asleep on the living room floor with a toy in her hand.

Here are the boys playing at Jumpin Jacks and loving it. They think that it is so fun to go and play with almost no rules. I mean the place has rules but they do not include "no jumping" and "no climbing." Pure bliss for little boys!


This Ransom on his first day at preschool. It was very painful for me. I know sounds stupid but true. He is only two and he goes to preschool. It is an early intervention preschool to help with his speech. He is actually doing an amazing job. His talking is great. I do have to keep on him because he likes to revert back to screaming at any given point in a day. The cute turkey. Funny thing about Ransom is that he is so small compared to kids his age. This morning I said "Hey little guy come here and let's get you dressed." He said "No me tall. Me big boy!" I thought you keep thinking that.

The Happy Girls

We have not been up to too much lately! I guess I have not even gotten out my camera in awhile. Lame I know, but I thought that I share a couple of cute Tahlia and her adorable cousin!



I think the mommies spend too much time shopping together! What can I say I love to have a girl.

New Years

For New Years Day Grandma and Gramdpa, Laura and her family came over for dinner and wii. It was fun to play wii with other people than just Ashton. He is good but dangerous to watch play. I think that everyone loves the wii.

New Years Eve!

On New Years Eve we did our annual Murder Mystery Night. It was so much fun! We did the last train from Paris in the 1940's. We all dressed our parts and ate "french food."



If anyone ever want to borrow one game to play just let me know!

Wii Wii

So I forgot to mention that we got a Wii for Christmas. We thought that Ashton was possibly getting to the age that he could play these games and it would be a fun family thing. Last time that I played video games was many many years ago when we got the Atari 2600 for Christmas in the early to mid 80's I am guessing. I only played Pacman a couple of times and never played again. Probably because my Mom was more fun to watch play Pacman! I honestly thought that I would hate playing video games. I must admit it is so fun. I love to play the simple ones you know bowling and golfing. The tennis is growing on me.
After we were all done opening gifts Christmas morning John immediately hooked up the Wii to the TV and after breakfast we all went down to see the fun. John read the list of games and Ashton choose boxing of course. He is hilarious to watch play. He just takes it to you. Now John cannot beat him. It it great fun! Now if we could just find the fit part. I guess that I should have started a little sooner looking for that! Lesson learned! I have already starting my Christmas shopping this year. Yikes!

Christmas Morning!

We all spent christmas in Southern Utah with John's family. There we opened gift christmas morning. Ashton was so excited he could hardly sleep. I was hoping that I could contuinue to lie to him about when we would open gifts, just so that I could sleep in a little more, but that did not work this year! His memory is getting too good. Ashton was so excited to get his batman toy he pick out, more kid connects, and the game hungry hungy hippos. Ransom was very excited to get his big truck, more legos and gator golf. Tahlia got a care bear and a shape sorter cookie jar. Tahlia's favorite part was all the paper and small things on the floor and Ransom just loved ripping all the paper, he was a great help to Tahlia!
Christmas was a lot of fun. We enjoyed visiting with family and spendng time with them. We apperciated everyones thoughtfulness this christmas. Thanks to everyone who everyone helped to make our christmas full of joy and bright.

December 23

On December 23 Laura brought the kids over to exchange christmas gifts and make some cookies. It was just a prelude to all the fun. I know that my kids had fun! Thanks Laura
