day to day....

Our little Mason

He loves to wear hats, especially when Joey or Jake are wearing one! We think he's adorable.

One little cookie, one big mess!

Coloring Easter Eggs- always a fun tradition.

Mason just kept dropping his egg, it was all cracked, but he had fun and he had blue hands!

House pictures from February

Well the house is finished now but I haven't posted anything in a long time. Here are a few old pictures from during the construction. Even though we've been moved in for 2 months we still have things to finish! So I will have to post pictures when it's all done!

Christmas

Christmas Morning- the kids woke us up at 5am and we told them to go back to bed until 6am. But they came in every 10 minutes to see how much longer! So much for sleep. So here they wide eyed and ready for presents!

Jake wanted a skateboard for Christmas. He is still just riding it in the house, I am going to have to invest in a helmet before he rides outside!

Mason also really likes the skateboard too. We have been lucky so far, no injuries to report, YET.

Hallie got a karaoke game, with songs like Hanna Montana, HSM, and Jonas Brothers, every parents dream!

So, here's the girls singing away. They really like this, we also got the American Idol game- which is fun for all of us!

Here we are at Granny's house, all ready for presents and food. Everyone's favorite!

December Fun

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!

Snow, Snow, Snow. We got dumped on all December, but it made the break more fun. And we had a White Christmas- now I wish it would all melt for good!

Jake really loves to go sledding, and he's crazy on the hills.

Izzy had her dance recital, and here she is with her cousin Reagan.

Me and Joey got to visit Izzy's class, they had a Christmas program and decorated Gingerbread houses. Mason later got a hold of the houses and really enjoyed eating some yummy stale candy!

MORE HALLOWEEN FUN

Grandpa and Gail came to visit from California, and we all got together at Michele's for some Halloween fun.

Izzy up to bat at the pinata!

Here's Hallie hitting casper.

Casper's hitching a ride.

OUR HALLOWEEN FUN

Pumpkin Carving

Mason had a blast, he actually got to hang out on the table for once and he just loved getting his hands all gooey!

The school has a carnival every year, the kids play games and get treats of course! The kids love it and the parents dread the crowded gym and long lines!

We made our annual visit to the bank where trick or treating always begins.

Here's Zach in his sweet afro.

Reagan finally got to be a bride this year!

all in a day's work

Mason is officially on the go. Here he is doing his normal everyday routine! The only thing I'm missing is him standing on the dishwasher door, removing all my dishes and him throwing my flip flop in the toilet last week. He is a little booger and is driving me crazy!

Here he is shutting himself in the fridge!

Perfect seat! The kitchen drawer.

Okay now this is not funny, I actually walked in and there he was, now I get to be paranoid and have to have eyes in the back of my head every time I bake!

Laundry!

This is actually his favorite place to be, what a boy! He stands by the garage door whining, then next at the car door saying whats-sat, whats-sat, until I finally let him in to pretend drive. It's keeps him entertained I guess!

Grandpa and Grandma Visit

My dad just celebrated his 6oth birthday, he's an old man! His wife surprised him with a trip to visit us from Ohio!

Their rental car was a hit with all the grandkids!

We took them to Zion National Park to see the sights and hike around.

Soccer Days

Soccer has already come and gone and that means winter will be here too soon, bummer! Hallie and Jake both played, it's fun to watch our kids play and have that competitive edge!

Here's Jake best bud Tyson.

Jake did so good, and really loved playing, he's sad it's already over.

Hallie really had fun, she played hard and the the last few
games she really got into the game more!

What happened to our baby?

Here's Jake on his first day of preschool, he loves school. He looks so old, but he's still my baby!
