Children's Museum

My sister's family gave us a year pass to a children's museum near us for Christmas. What a great gift!!! The kids loved it and Brody made a great doctor, Teagan a great scientist and Kamryn....well, she helped too.


Our first trip aunt Kati and uncle Brad joined us.....and boy was I glad they did. I guess there are no strollers allowed inside, so we had to carry Liam the whole time. Imagine me carrying him and chasing after the other 3 the entire time. Eeeeek!

(I'm not sure if he was supposed to be climbing on these things. Hmmmm.)

New Years

Liam and Daddy rockin out!
For New Years Eve we put on our leather pants, sparkly glitter make up, ratted our hair, and rocked out at my bro Tony's house. The kids tried destroying the rest of the house while us "grown ups" pretended to be rock stars for 4 hours. When midnight came....no, we did not keep rocking. I guess we're too old, because we all went our separate ways and zonked out. But, it was fun while it lasted.

Brody is 4!!!!

Brody is 4! Can you believe it?!?! He couldn't decide on what kind of cake he wanted. He mention a house and he also mentioned a balloon cake...and about a gazillion other things. So, we decided to surprise him with the house from the movie "Up." With dum-dum suckers for balloons. I had a blast making it and best of all, Brody loved it!!

Happy Birthday Brody-Bug! We are seriously so blessed to have you in our family. Love you!

Early Christmas

We celebrated an early Christmas with the kids, because we took a trip to WA for the 25th. John pieced together a computer for the kids....which Teagan thought was pretty cool.
One of Brody's favorite gifts was a bike from his cousin Eli and Gma & Gpa Langston.
Kamryn loved every single thing she opened.....and loves posing with her gifts.
The Pillow Pets were a huge hit! Thanks Gma and Gpa.
Cute-Sweet-Liam.

December-randoms

This was the best picture I could get of Teagan during his 1st grade winter music concert. He did a great job and I loved hearing him sing his little songs around the house all month long.
Brody with the Lego box stuck on his bum.
Brody tried to make 1/2 gallon of strawberry milk....and succeeded. If you think the table was a mess, you should have seen the floor........that's where Kamryn was trying to help.

Thanksgiving 2010

I know I'm a little behind, but I still wanted to post our holiday pics. We spent Thanksgiving with John's family. We had tons of fun with John's sisters, the nieces and nephews, and Gma and Gpa, of course. Gma had the kids make gingerbread houses, which turned out great and the kids had a blast making them.


All the grandkids.

Family Trip to CA

Yes, that's the Jelly Belly factory. Yes, lots of sugar. Nope, I did not partake.
Excited boys!
Excited girl!
Liam did not know quite what to think.
This was the real reason for our trip to CA. Great-Gma Giedt turned 90 years old and we were able to celebrate with her. Love you Grandma Great!
Kamryn and her favorite aunt Kati replacement....Aunt Lisa.
Liam stole Teagan's tie. He can totally pull that look off.
Kamryn and Lisa....just hangin around. :o)
It was difficult keeping shoes on this cute girl, but the weather was nice and she didn't seem to mind.
Some random old man at the Veterans Home light saber fighting with the boys. (You probably can't see it, but he was wearing a pink bandana around his neck....the real reason I took the pic.)
Kamryn chasing the boys with the stroller at Gma's party.

Wanna Make Mama Happy?

Wanna make mama happy? Just be cute.
Wanna make mama unhappy? Erase her entire November calendar. (Sorry if I missed something important this month......)

Halloween 2010

Kamryn=lion. Liam=caterpillar. Brody=Spiderman. Teagan=Anakin.
Action shot. I loved how he wanted to wear the same costume as last year...just a light saber color change.
Pretty scary lion, if I do say so myself.
Love these sweet boys. Brody wore his costume a week before and after Halloween. Spiderman is always loved in our home.
These pumpkins changed several times....but these were the first "scary" faces. Love the little plastic parts. So easy and no mess to clean up. And interchangeable!

Happy Birthday Kamryn!

Believe it or not, Kamryn is 2!!! We celebrated with our neighbors, Gma & Gpa, and aunt Kati & uncle Brad....a good group of some of Kamryn's favorite people. Teagan and Brody obviously thought she needed a little help with her gifts.
Daddy printed some little princesses off of the computer and mommy cut them out for the cupcakes. (Sooo easy and cheap!)
Every gift Kamryn unwrapped was presented just like this. She was so excited!

Happy Birthday baby girl....we're so glad you're part if our family.

Thanksgiving Point With Cousins

The kiddos had a great time when their cousins came from WA to visit. We loved having them.
My bro, Tony, tried feeding Teagan to the T-Rex. Teagan freaked out.
Because Teagan freaked out, Brody decided to as well. The rest of us thought it was hilarious.
All the kiddos.
Sophie did a good job making sure Kamryn didn't run off.
The water/erosion play area was a big hit for the kids and parents too.
This was definitely their favorite part.
