Happy Birthday Teegan!

I can't believe Teegan is 2! We are so blessed to have you in our family! We wouldn't trade you for anything! We call you the cheeser because you are always smiling! You smile for everyone and especially for the camera! You love love your daddy and most of the time prefer him over me! Some of your favorite things are; being outside, cars, trains, balls--especially baseball, you constantly want me to throw the ball to you! You love sweets, especially chocolate!--Which you unfortunately got from me! And you make each one of us laugh with your goofyness! You love wrestling with your dad and brothers but you are also a snuggle bug! Oh and you love necks! They are like your comfort! Whenever, dad or I hold you, you have to be pinching our necks! :0) How lucky we are to be able to raise you and we are enjoying every minute!

We love you Teegan!

So I love cake boss and wanted to make Teegan a cool train cake! However my cake was crumbly and I couldn't cut it into the shape, because it would just fall apart! Uggg. So I put rice crispy treats around it and then the marshmallow fondant. It wasn't what I wanted but all the kids thought it was cool, I guess that's what matters right?!

January 16th

So we are suckers for free days. And the Utah Museum of Fine Arts was having one of those days! They have a free art project for the kids as well. I forgot the camera of course! We painted on papyrus. We all had fun with the paints. Teegan especially got into it! He had paint everywhere!

After we decided to hit the Myan because we hadn't been there forever and wanted to take the kids. The Myan is really cool with the jungle atmosphere and the divers jumping from the cliffs. However, I don't remember it being so pricey! :0) One kids meal = $8.00! Good thing the museum was free!

Basketball begins!

January 9

Yay! I'm excited for Kydan to be playing basketball. He did great at his first game and he really is growing--maybe not height wise :0) but growing out of his shell! Evidence of this-- There is so many more players this year and on top of that he is a new kid and didn't know any of his team mates. However, he was out there having a great time! This year was also 5 on 5 instead of the 3 on 3! He was still so sweet but he went for rebounds, stole a couple of balls, and had awesome shots! We saw some aggressiveness that we thought couldn't come from him, it was a sweet aggression though! Can't wait to see some more! :0)

Everyone is walking Kydan's getting down there!

Way to get in there Kydan!

We need a close up of that one! :0)

Napping Danger!

During Christmas break we had some nice colds come our way! Dad gave Ceanna so night time cold medicine during the day and it knocked her out. Good for the rest she need bad for the menacing brother! If you look close she has orange marker all over her face! Poor Ceanna we really had to scrub to get it off. When Paysen was questioned on who did it he said that it did it by itself! :0) Life is never boring!!!

"I was bad but Santa still came!"

Christmas!

This year Paysen picked out the material for their annual christmas pajamas! These turned out super cute! Paysen however is not thrilled with the black shirt--as he describes below! :0)Christmas morning a cute little Paysen came to my bed and said, "He came Santa came!!!! " He was so excited! Later I heard him say, "I was bad but Santa still came!" LOL! I guess Santa decided to be a little lenient this year!

Gifts Santa brought!

We had a fun relaxing morning before we headed out to Filmore to Grandma and Grandpa Adams house. We were able to enjoy several days with our cousins, Logan, Ryan, Revyn, and Reagan.
A dark pic- but Grandma Adams got all the girls these cute petticoat skirts!

What a fun Christmas! We got to spend time with both sides of the family with good food, lots of sledding, and memories!

Christmas video made by Matt! :0)

Christmas in Idaho!

This year was a special year, we got to spend it with my parents and all my siblings! Brandon and Tammy and their two kids, Shelby and Noah drove up from Tennessee, and Matt and Nikki flew in from California! It was so fun to be able to spend time together! All the kids got along so great and had so much fun! It's crazy how much our family has grown! I hope this is the start of many more get togethers!

Cousins!
Shelby(8), Ceanna(7), Marlee(4), Noah(4), Kydan(9), Teegan (almost 2), Paysen (4), Brody (2)

Of course we have to have KC do our hair! Ceanna got about 3 inches cut off and I got a whopping 5 inches! It was time--lots of damage! :0)

Sleigh riding! Tammy's family friends took us on a sleigh ride! It was FREEZING! But what fun and great memories we made!

I love christmas time and the excuse we get to hang out with family, eat, and create such great memories!
