Presents

Here are a few Pictures of the kids opening their presents! We all had a great Christmas and enjoyed being able to be home. Then we hurried out to make it to spend time with our family!

Christmas 2010

David Has a work Christmas Party every year, it is a lot of fun for the kids! We go and eat Pizza for lunch and play a few game and wait and wait to see Santa! Santa is worth the wait because we get a fun picture and the kids get a Christmas gift! Ethan got a yo-yo Frisbee thing. He really wanted a B-Ball but mom and dad know he would be getting one form us so he finally chose the Frisbee. Kyra picked a recorder you know the kind that make lots of noise. Mattie found herself a cute soft baby doll! She loves that baby so much!

Watermelon!

My sister in law gave us a giant watermelon! When we opened it was not the greatest tasting watermelon but it gave us some great entertainment and the kids loved it! Just look at the joy on their faces as they dive right in to the watermelon. They had a great time trying to eat those giant pieces!

First day of School!

Ethan was so excited to go to school!We asked if he wanted us to take him the first day.with out hesitation he said No I want to ride the bus! So we let him ride the bus. I think the bus ride may have really been what he was so excited about any way! He got right on and didn't look back! We are so glad he is excited school! It makes it a lot easier to send them off to school everyday!

Dad drove in to work late so that he could see his little guy off for his first day of school! I love this picture it truly shows the love and interest David has for his kids. He is giving him a little pep talk and a reminder to be good!

Ethan all smiles!

Picking him up at the end of school! Jacket on upside down. He is now ready to get home!

Mothers Day!

A Big thanks to all my family for a great mothers day! It started out with everyone crawling in bed with us. Then they decided to bring me my gifts. They gave me a new binder for my coupons,candy bars, a Glee CD, and best of all a new camera! our old camera was not working very well. I was excited to use my new camera so all of these pictures are from that morning. When I was finished opening my gifts Ethan ran out of my room and came back with something behind his back and ran up to me and said oh yea here is your breakfast in bed! he handed me this very green banana. Ethan is such a sweet and thoughtful boy. After a good laugh we decided to get up and have a real breakfast so we had french toast and fruit salad. Thanks again for all the love and a great day! I have the best Family!

EASTER MORNING

The Easter bunny found our house and left tons of eggs hidden all over the house! The kids had a great time finding the eggs!( We did our own Easter egg hunt inside because it had snowed Saturday morning and we didn't want to dress up in winter clothes to hunt for eggs.) He also left them gifts in their baskets. They were very excited! It was a great Easter Sunday not only did we get to celebrate the resurrection of our savior, we also had the chance to watch and listen to the prophet and apostles and feel the great spirit it brought to our home. At our house this means we get conference waffles which are very delicious . Defiantly not good for you but that is why we have chosen to only have them twice a year on conference Sunday. It was also awesome to have Emilee come and hang out with us. The Kids always have a great time with her and ask for weeks afterward when she is coming back. All in all it was a very cool (cold) weekend.

Surprise

Surprise surprise !!! We drove home from Boise at night time so Ethan was asleep when we got home and put him to bed. When he woke up he had a big surprise his room was all painted! While we were in Boise David worked hard at work and then came home and did this cool paint job in Ethan room. Ethan was so surprised when he woke up. I was only a little alert when he woke up but I could hear he was excited. Then he came running in and said my room is so awesome! Then he crawled up and told his dad how awesome it was. He has wanted his room painted since we painted the girls room. We are glad it turned out so well and he loves it! Now mom just needs to hurry and bind his quilt and make some curtains to make it complete! Oh yea and change out his lamp!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ETHAN!

Grandma Miles asked Ethan what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday he said a star wars cake! So grandma and mom worked together to make this cake. Thanks grandma for all the help. It turned out great Ethan loved it. He also loved all the gifts he was given the Rino game, cars book,giant coloring book, lunch box, toys and scooter. He had a great birthday dinner corn beef and cabbage which has been the tradition since he was born! After this party we went to Lynn and Sara's for a big party they were having. Ethan had fun playing with all of his cousins and the other kids who were there. He was so sad to have to go!












Ethan we are so glad to have you in our family. You are a great big brother that watch out for his sisters. You love to play play play! You love to go go go!
