Christmas 2009

Christmas Eve. We went to lunch with my family on Christmas Eve. Then we went to open presents with them. My siblings all do a DI Gift exchange. We started it last year and it is really fun. Then Henley and Beck got to open their presents from Grandma & Grandpa.

Beck got a Fisher Price Jungle Set, that he and Henley love to play with.

Henley got a Cinderella Dress and some Disney Princess Figurine sets.

We decided to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at our house with our little family before heaeding to Wyoming. It was nice to do whatever we wanted and spend time with just us. We watched a few Christmas movies and had some treats. Then the kids headed to bed and yes Santa came.

Christmas Morning

Matching Christmas PJ's. Henley got her Dancing Barbie that she asked Santa for and she was so excited.

Beck got a Sports Playset that Henley likes to play with.


I know this picture is gross, but this poor boy has been sick for a month, even though the doctor says there is really nothing wrong with him. Anyway, he woke up Christmas morning with red swollen eyes and a really runny nose. Mark took this picture right after he sneezed.

The dogs got a new dog bed.

Of course they had to get at least one outfit.

One of Henley's favorite movies is Enchanted, so she got an Enchanted look and find book.

Mark hand-made me a coat hanger and I love it. I got Mark a Kitchen aid mixer (yes he really wanted one) but I don't have a picture.

Christmas Day in Lyman. We headed to Wyoming after opening presents at our house. I don't really have pictures of Christmas stuff, but we did go swimming and her are a couple pictures.

Swimming with Grandpa and going down the slide.

Winter Fun

When it snowed alot a few weeks ago Mark had to go help shovel at the church at 6:30am. When he wasn't back at 9:30 I started to wonder where he was. Well he was outside building Henley a snow castle. It even had a mot and a bridge and of course a door and window. Then they went and played all morning and we were almost late for church.

Henley walking over the bridge.

And of course there was a snowman to go along with it.

The little snow princess.

The night before that we went to our Ward Christmas Party and Henley got to see Santa. She told him she wants a Sleeping Beauty Dancing Barbie in a blue dress (not quite what Santa had in mind, so he told me, but hopefully he can figure that one out)

Waiting her turn.

Today she got "locked" in our room to take a nap since Beck was in her room. Well she hasn't liked naps lately so when it got quite I should have gone and checked but I was hoping she might really be sleeping. Um, I was wrong. I walked in and walked right back out and luckily Mark took a picture to share.

Yep, baby powder all over the place. At least she smelled good, but she got that stuff on most of Beck's clothes and all over his changing table. Well nap time over and we all had a good laugh.

Catching Up

Well life with two kids is pretty busy, so my blog has been neglected. Here is everything since Halloween.

Carving pumpkins with my family, there are however no pictures of the finished pumpkins.

Random Pictures

Henley tasting what she thought was an apple, but was really an avacado

Sadly, we have had some terrible twos at our house. She turns three next month hopefully they go away but I doubt it.


Loving the high chair.

First baby food about a month ago. This boy loves to eat.

Luckily, Henley still absolutely adores her baby brother.

So handsome.

Videos of Beck

Here are some funny videos of Beck. Lately he has been talking like crazy and especially when Mark was talking to him in this video.

At his four month check-up he was about right where he should be in terms of weight and height. He is much bigger than Henley was at this age. He started rolling over about a month ago and now he does it all the time. Then he gets mad when he is on his tummy for too long, he forgets that he can roll back over if he wants.

October Fun

Well I still need to post Halloween pictures and I will, but I do have lots of pictures from the end of October to post first. First just an adorable picture of my two kiddies.

Henley got to dress up for gymnastics and had so much fun.

Her she is walking on the beam, stepping over the skeletons.

Swinging on the rope over the "scary mud".

Hanging on the bar.

Cute boy!

We also went to the pumpkin walk a few weeks ago with our friends. Henley loved being the princesses.

Her favorite Ariel.

I will post the rest of the Halloween pictures soon.
