Daddy's Home!

Every year Brady goes on a fishing trip before Christmas. Here the kids are stutting their stuff with their new clothes that Brady bought for them. Don't they look tough?



Colton wanted to try on Daddy's helmet.

And of course, Kyla too!

Christmas Cookies!

Here are my excited helpers! Aprons are on, hands are washed, and they're ready to go!

Grandma MariBeth came to join the fun!

One of the kids jobs was to unwrap the Hershey Kisses.



SOMEONE had a hard time just unwrapping.

Guess who?!

Break time!

Grandma and Colton get down with the Christmas music.

Kyla "reads" Colton a story.
Isn't that sweet?!

Happy Birthday Kyla!!

5 Years Old!!

On the day of her birthday we had a birthday cookie. We saved the cake for her party.

Here she is in her birthday outfit. She wanted to wear her Tinkerbell costume. Who am I to argue? Check out the pointed toe!

The Birthday Party.

Apparently, Kyla didn't like her hair curled.

While the rest of the family was watching Kyla open her presents, SOMEONE helped himself to some frosting. I wonder who would do such a thing...

Here's the whole crew. They've all gotten so big!

Noah, Kyla, Evelyn, Colton, and Caden




Kyla got an Easel for her birthday!

I Helpin'!

Colton saw that there was work to do, so he went up to his room to grab his tools.





With hammer in hand, he quickly went to work.

Brady was so patient...

Cuddle Time!

Is there any room for me?

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!!






You know you live in the sticks when...



You need a trailor to trick or treat!

It was really nice for the kids since the houses are spread so far apart. It saved their little legs from so much walking.

Here's the whole gang. Let's see we have the Peterson twins puppies - Ashley and Emily, Austin the ninja, Kyla - Cinderella - again, Colton one of the two supermans, Trevor the other one of the two supermans, and Aubrey the adorable bee!

Everyone is bundled up and ready to roll!

The Halloween Parade!

We took the kids to the Annual Halloween Parade. It was COLD but we were going to try it. We made stayed for most of the parade but when the clouds rolled in it got even colder and fast!




Here are the Matson's - good friends through daycare.

Colton was so excited to see the firetrucks!! This was the first time he didn't cover his ears when they sounded the siren. He's such a big boy.

Miss Rebecca thought it would be really funny to flag down one of the Vulcans.

Monkey See Monkey Do

So, I feed Abby one night and I notice Colton has set up camp to watch her eat. I think to myself, "How cute is that?"

"She eating!"

Until...












One morning I see Colton set his cereal bowl and the floor and proceed to eat it as Abby would.

I'm so proud of him!

Washing Daddy's Four Wheeler!

How cute is this?

Happy Birthday Colton!

My little man turned 3 on September 29th. Wow. Time sure flies. If only we could slow it down a little bit...

He just loves his, "Lightning wace caw!"

And his, "Chaiwwy pickuh."

And NOBODY likes catching bad guys as much as Colton.

I think his all time favorite is the Light Sabor Sword. Watch out when he's swinging this thing. My nephews had their swords up north when we were on vacation and Colton fell in love. The only time he was without it was when it got comphiscated and needed a rest. He even slept with it! To this day he asks if he can cuddle his sword.
