Friends

There is something special between these two. Jackson adores his baby sister and she adores him. They spend a considerable amount of time together each day, rolling around, laughing and playing. They are just so sweet when they are together. We just love it!

Budding Archeologists

For the last couple of years Jacob has been telling the boys bedtime stories from when he was a kid. One of the favorites is the one exploring caves deep in the mountains where there are skeletons... After two failed expeditions (it had been awhile since Jacob was last there) on the third attempt, guided by Uncle Dan, he and the boys finally got to a certain secret cave. The boys were thrilled! They carefully viewed the burial site while Dad explained how the bones got there. Jackson has been really into archeology and learning about Egypt so they were all ears. After spelunking through a few more caves on their bellies they returned home proud as can be.

A boy and his buzz

These guys were instant friends after Santa put him under our tree. Magical times i'll tell ya!

Christmas Eve 2010

We like to take a picture of the kids in their new Christmas jammies every year in front of the tree, just to see the changes in these sweet things each year. We are kind of smitten with are new edition to the photo this year, although she looks about as big as the rest of them! Isn't my baby supposed to stay tiny for a little longer than this?! Jacob and I feel incredibly blessed to have these little people apart of our lives. We sure are lucky. Merry Christmas to you all!

Ward Christmas Party and Santa!

We had a lot of fun at the Ward Christmas party this year. Jackson was able to be a shepherd in the Nativity pageant, which he was thrilled about and the kids got to sit on Santa's lap! Needless to say they were pretty excited, Oliver even gave him a hug the minute it was his turn to sit on his lap!
