Kyle two weeks old.  He grew up so quickly because he had such a head start when he came.  He was pretty big baby when he arrived, and he kept growing!

Baby Kyle arrived.  He was our only baby to come in the daytime.  He weighed 10 pounds 3 ounces.  He was a very pudgy sweet baby.  We love him to pieces.  The older kids were so excited to come up and see their new baby brother.  They were waiting out in the hallway of the hospital and my parents said it was like waiting to open presents on Christmas morning.  The anticipation was so great.  And the kids were so excited.  His delivery went perfect.  He was such a sweet baby boy.

This year was a really wonderful Christmas.  The kids were so excited especially Jence.  He's at the prime age of believing in Santa Clause, and loving the magic of Christmas. I'm writing this a month late and last night was January 22nd.  Jence came home and told me that he saw Santa Clause in the sky on his sled.  He told me he was flying around to see what kids want for Chrsitmas.  he's already trying to think of a list for next year. Now back to this years Christmas.  Our whole family got a Wii U from my parents which the kids have really loved playing on.  They especially love Mario Kart and super smash bros.  Kate got some nail stuff, and jewelry making kit.  Kirk and Ben of course got legos.  Jence got some Jurassic park dinosaurs.  It was a wonderful year and I managed to still get the Christmas decorations up even though I'm pregnant.  I have a feeling it'll be harder to take everything down since I'll be just a few weeks away from delivering.  It was fun to use the basement for the first time now that it is finished.  It created alot more space for toys and food, and of course playing Wii.

Christmas Concert

Kate got to go to the David Archtuletta concert last Saturday.  It was at Layton High school and he sang a bunch of Christmas songs and some of his popular hits.  After she got to go backstage and meet him.  She was so excited! 

Merry Christmas!

I'm not sure how many more years I can keep making the older kids sit on Santa's lap.  Kate expressed displeasure at the thought of having to sit on his lap so I told her to just pose behind him and smile for the picture.  It's amazing because it seems like she was just Jence's age and could hardly wait to see Santa.   My how times have changed.  This year Jence is asking Santa for some Jurassic park Dinosaurs, and a submarine to play with in the bath tub.  Ben is asking for a lego set, Kirk wants a lego set and Kate is asking for a tether-ball.  I've realized how fast this year has gone and it blows my mind.  The Santa pictures seem to come faster and sooner each year!

The Loot!

Here is the Halloween haul!!!!

Halloween 2015

I can't believe it's Halloween again.  It feels like I just posted last years pictures.  Crazy how each year comes and goes.  The kids are one more year older and you can really begin to tell by the pictures. 

 Ben's Costume this year was Clark Kent who then turns into superman underneath.  I ordered it online and thought it was sooo cute.  Apparently he didn't think clark Kent was very cool.  I had to literally force him to wear the glasses.  But he liked the superman part of the costume so that was okay.

 Jence loved his fireman costume which he played in for weeks.  I'm glad it's still in one piece now that it's finally Halloween!

 Kate will get to wear her costume twice this year.  Sometime later in the school year the fifth grade has a fifties dance.  It will be nice to get a couple of wears out of this cute costume!!!!  She sure is growing up!

 Kirk is a Ghost Buster this year.  He was pretty excited about this costume this year.  It's nice that he is a good guy for once LOL!!!!
