A Visit From Eagle!

These two cuties got to come and hang out for a morning. I just love when I can get my hands on some "girl hair!" Tasha let me have at it! They played and laughed- it was music to my ears.

Nathan still pretends to be a Lamanite and insists on wearing his headband so that he can protect his sheep.

Nathanisms...

After a bath:
Mom- You smell yummy!
Nathan- Why am I SO tasty? giggle, giggle

Mom- I am making your favorite for dinner tonight!
Nathan- You're makin' me broccoli? giggle

Nathan- I don't have ANY money, could I BUY some of yours?

The Aliens Come Out When The Kids Go To Bed!

I LOVE having visitors! It's a blast when these guys come and stay with us. We stay up til the cows come home and play games, laugh, and talk! Lisa is adorable! Look at her tiny head!

I Seriously LOVE Chocolate Ice Cream!

Oh how I love this kid!

Three Has Indeed Brought Joy!

He calls this cupboard his bed and prefers to sleep with the pots and pans.

It's quiet when all the sudden Nathan runs out wearing every swimsuit he could possibly find. There's only one problem...They are all mine!

Nathan loves to read at night. We occasionally find him fast asleep looking like this.

Lots of moments have taken place this year. Lets just say there are a FEW I'm trying to forget. I'm almost done with Parenting With Love And Logic and so is Justin. A cry for help:). In the midst of these "special" times there are some worth remembering and this is the reason Nathan is not for sale anymore.

Gettin Teeth Is #!@$!

Four eye teeth at the same time creates a very special atmosphere at our house. Nothing got done for FIVE days because Kendall would not let me put him down- even for 3 seconds! I even had to blow dry my hair with him in my lap but that's okay because he fell into a peaceful slumber and that meant I had 10 minutes of not being malled!. He had a constant fever and was so sad. It broke my heart!

YEE HAW!

Just enjoyin' Grandpa's hat!

A Sunbeam!

Ready or not... here comes Nathan! He loves being a sunbeam! His teachers are so sweet! He was a little concerned about not getting his knees after the resurrection but with a little explaining, he gave me the thumbs up sign.

With a little practice, he will get the hang of NOT going to the front of the primary room EVERY time they need a helper. Other than that, I think it went well.

Welcome 2009!

I LOVE starting a fresh new year. It's like a clean slate. Anything is possible! I want to adopt my mom's resolution and have... CRAZY FUN!!! May this new year be full of dreams coming true!
