Random shots from yesterday...

Diverse -

Corbin is a great kid. He's able to turn a Dora castle into a playground for all of his guys. What a great boy I've got, he's the best!

Marley loves her girlie stuff. She's got her grocery cart with babies and purses galore! Look at little Emmas face back there. What cute girls.

(this pic reminds me of Marley)

Emma is 5 months today (well, the 7th). The poor girl has been sick since Sunday night. High fevers, puking when I give her medicine, sore throat, and just plain not feeling good. I took her to the doc on Tuesday and she has an ear infection, her first one yet. She's finally starting to feel better and getting back to her happy self. Wednesday was a hard day for both of us. She was happiest yet but at the same time she cried a lot. I'm glad I got some happy pictures of her but after these were taken she cried for a while. Nothing worked, no binkie no bottle. Today has been a better day, poor baby.

Look at those cute little legs.

jumper

I can't believe my baby girl is big enough to be jumping on her own. Look at that scare hair, that's what happens when I don't "control" it after a bath.

Thanks for the outfit, Josee. It's a little big but I still can't believe it fits. I love it!

Dec. 25th

Holy Cow!! Look at the snow. It was such a crazy day of snow that we didn't know if we'd be able to get anywhere. We bravely headed to my parents - though only just down the street - it was quite the adventure. I couldn't believe the amount of snow that we'd gotten over night and through out the day. It was crazy but the kids loved it.

Look at the size of those flakes!

I'm talking about the snow, not the kids.

This is on our driveway, look at all that snow. We figure we got about 11 inches that day.

Our neighbor came to help us out. He's walking along our sidewalk, look how deep!

LOVE this pic!

Queen of the hill!

Corbin went in to play with his toys so Marley was able to take over the hill by herself.

Presents on Dec 25th

Marley showing dad the little presents in her stocking and waiting for the ok to open them.

CJ played with his castle the whole time MJ was opening her stocking stuff.

Finally he got to his own sock. This is his lion Scooby, he's a webkinz.

Marleys Dora boots from Bub.

Go Utes.

I absolutely LOVE this pic of my little girl.

She got her baby doll (from Santa) in the swing. Then we got the Dora boots, Dora sunglasses, Dora shirt, and Dora bracelet and neclace set. Wow, she's a Dora girl!

Dec. 24th

Christmas Eve was spent sledding in our front yard. I know we did more but I can't quite remember what. That evening we went over to my parents house for dinner and a couple of games of Shanghi.

Corbins hill is so nice that it sends him clear across the drive way. Notice his helmet? Ya, that's because he was getting too brave and started doing tricks.

Dec. 23rd

We went to see Grandma and Grandpa K for Christmas and had a good time.

Marley got everything pink and everything Dora.

Corbin got a paint set and more Star Wars guys.

Her pink vest, yea! She was jumping up and down when I took this.

Emma got her baby doll, she loves it!

Emma loves her Grandpa. They have a natural bond.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for all of the great gifts!

Manger Scene

This year the kids have been focused - more then ever - on the birth of Christ. To my surprise they haven't spoke much about Santa this year. This is what they've been up to this Christmas season. What great examples they are.

They made a manger scene in Corbins bedroom. Corbin is showing us the donkey and cow. He is dressed the part of Joseph, Marley is Mary, and her baby doll (Abby) is baby Jesus. They even made "the star" out of paper and taped it on his wall.
