January Rolled in............

We had more snow which meant more sledding and a special visit from the Klevens

 We had lots of fun with all the cousins!

 What a fun group and a fun day too!

 OH yeah!!!

 How about a girl picture!  I don't really enjoy pictures of myself.

 Kathy with a little Salon time for Halle!

 Handsome Hayden never wants to move again!!!!

 A little more salon time

 Halle and Kara went to Wal-mart with me.  Halle begged to ride the horse.  We never ride it so I decided I should let her since she was so excited about it.  She got on and I asked Kara do you want to ride with her? Kara turned to me and said, "well I guess I better because if I ride with her it will only be  .25cents instead of .50 cents."  Halle could not stop laughing the entire time!  She must have been tired because I don't really think those rides are that much fun.  My kids get the giggles when they are extra tired.

 Keltonator was in the Pinewood Durby!  He won something I'm sure because we live in the WEST where everyone is a winner.

Christmas

 Merry Christmas!

 We did our traditional sing down the stairs and then had a very fun day together.  I really did not take many pictures.  Brent took most of them so he may have to start his own blog or maybe someday I'll get around to adding them, but for now this will have to do!

 Kelton summed it up with, "You know I must have been really good because I got almost everything I wanted.  I wasn't perfect though because I asked for an electric scooter and I just got a regular scooter."  I think he was pretty good Santa's budget just wasn't big enough for an electric scooter this year!

 We joined the Dobbs for their Traditional Christmas Chinese dinner!

 Over the break we played with cousins lots and had lots of Nerf Wars

 We got quite a bit of snow and got stuck in the Dobbs neighborhood on numerous occassions.

 We took the kids iceskating on a very cold night, but had lots of fun still.

 We also took the kids to a Big Horns game!

 Brent managed to kill all the bad guys in our home with his pellet gun while wearing Hayden's jacket and balaclava!

 Thank goodness too because that robber had really made a mess!

December 2012 continued

We wrote letters to our Missionary cousins

 We went to our ward dinner Christmas Party

 and had pumpkin pie

 Kelton sat on Santa's lap!

  Halle sat on Santa's lap again!

 Kara sat on Santa's lap

 It's almost Halle's birthday and she is very excited!

Halle shops with mom and dad!

 We eat Costco food again!  The kids favorite place and ours too!  For different reasons of course!

 Halle loves pink!  We made her a Barbie cake as she wished!

 She got some lacey gloves and a lot of snow for her Birthday!  Our Baby Girl turn the big 7!

 We made snow men and snow forts and had snow fights!

 We went rollerskating and to Red Robin with the cousins and then had them over for Barbie cake and icecream!  Deliciuous : )

We opened presents

 Wow we even took a family picture!

 Halle had a great day!  She is always so excited about everything it makes life so much fun.  She also loves hanging out with mom and dad.  We love our Halle!

 The kids had a piano recital at the church!

 Halle brought her kitty

 Hayden and Carter playing around after

 Kara, Kelton, and Halle did a great job.  

 We also put on the Christmas Nativity with the Dobbs cousins and the DeMourdants.

 I think it was one of the craziest plays we've had.  It this case the picture doesn't really tell the story!

 Wow I'm tired!  I haven't even made it to Christmas, No wonder I'm so tired after the holidays!!
