Christmas Tree Hunting !

Kids getting ready to go!













After about an hour of hunting and 2 sleeping kids later, we found our tree... It wasn't very far from the road (so Kaelen didn't have to go far to cut it down or drag it back to the truck.) Once we got it home we had to cut it down alot and rearrange the furniture to fit it in. It looked alot smaller out in the wild, than it did in the house... but it smells really good... and it only fell over once after it was all decorated, braking a few glass balls... But it's up right now, redecorated, and tied to the wall...

Halloween 2009

Here are some of the photos of all of our costumes. Emma went as Princess Fiona (and wasn't a big fan about painting her face green, after all how many princesses have green facces?), Kael was too sick to dress up as a race car driver, Max was upset about beinga penguin, Kaelen was a stick in the mud just went as himself. as you can tell by the picture, and Rochelle... well... you get to figure that one out.

Best Birthday Party Ever!

That is what Emma said... Not that in her short 5 years she has a lot to compare with... But it was pretty fun anyway... we were in Utah for the event and had the party at Aunt Kara's house. Pizza, cake(made by Grandma Fox) and ice cream were on the menu... and a fun time with all her Utah cousins...

thanks everyone for coming and making it the best birthday ever!

a little boy and his toy

This toy is very frustrating...



for this little boy ...


He’ll find this toy on occasion... then he will proceed to bite it, suck on it, and bang it on something with no success. At last resort he brings it to me when I try to explain to a 1 year old it cannot be opened or drunk. He takes it back and throws it across the room and crys ... I think we will be hiding this toy for awhile...

Take a look at my sister-in-laws photography blog...



to see some photos of my darn cute kids! (if I do say so myself...)

First and Foremost

Emma's first day of school... the first day of school is a 1 hour meet the teacher, tour the school, drop of all you supplies and stuff... So, that morning Emma tells me “mom you don’t need to stay with me.” I say, “We’ll see.” In the car on the way she said, “Well maybe you can wait in the car.” “We’ll see” I say. Walking up to the school, Emma says “well I guess you should come and stay." “Alright I’ll stay.” I say.






















Another 1st of the day
Was Max’s birthday... yep... 1year old!
He cried when we sang to him and until we gave him some cake I guess he just really wanted some cake :}Happy Birthday MAX!

Meet Thomas...

Emma and Kael have a new little friend and decided to call him Thomas the Cat...
a friend of our had kittens and we have a mouse problem, so Kaelen gave into Emma's pleas for a cat... And they love him they pack him around everywhere!
