Drew and the Leopard

We went to the Zoo today. I just wanted to share this quick video because it was so funny. The first time this happened I think Drew jumped clear across the room. I forgot to flip the video before posting it so you might have to turn your head sideways to see it right.

Christmas 2008

I know Christmas was like 2 weeks ago, but I'm finally starting to recover from all the festivities and now it is time to update my blog. We had a great Christmas this year. The kids had so much fun hanging out with their cousins all day Christmas eve and Christmas day. The boys got lots of fun new presents, and we all ate way to much candy. We spent New Years up in Logan visiting with our friends there. We were originally only going to stay one night but ended up staying the whole weekend. It was so much fun.

Visit to Santa

We went to see Santa on Friday. Sammy would not go anywhere near him, and Mackay screamed when we sat him on Santa's lap. So we just got this one picture this year. Only five days left till Christmas!!!

Jayson's Wedding

My brother Jayson got married on Thursday. It was a beautiful weeding, in spite of all the snow that tried to stop us from getting there. Here are some pictures of our family at the reception.

I hardly ever get pictures of just Sam and I, so I had to post this one.

Jayson and His bride Karissa.

Congrats to the happy couple.

Birthday Week

This week we celebrated Sam and Sammy's birthdays. Sammy turned 4 years old. We had a fun party with lots of family and friends crammed into our small kitchen. Sam and I celebrated his birthday by going to the Body Worlds exhibit downtown. It was really cool. Thank you to everybody who came and for all the fun gifts. We love you.

Sammy with Hulk hands. He loves these.

The cake was definitely Mackays favorite part.

All four of these kids trying together and they still couldn't blow out the candles.

So Sammy saw this snake cake that he really wanted me to make for him. The one we saw was green and yellow but Sammy wanted a black and red snake, so it kind of turned out looking like a leech. At least it tasted good.

Trip to the Zoo

The boys and I went to Hogle Zoo with my sister Maria and her daughter Kelli a few weeks ago.

The kids had tons of fun, but Kelli and Mackay were a little terrified of the carousel. Drew and Sammy can't wait to go back.

Drew, Kelli, and Sammy

Sammy on the Lion

Kelli sat on this for about 2 seconds then she
was done.

Elephants have always been Drew's

favorite animal.

I love this face!!

There is an elephant is this picture, but he is

kind of hard to see.

Halloween

Happy Halloween!! Our family had a fun little Star Wars theme going on this year. Drew and Sammy were clones from the new Clone Wars movie. Mackay was the cutest little Yoda I have ever seen. We had lots of fun and got way too much candy.

What a cuttie

I really liked the masks for pictures because

it didn't matter if they were looking at the camera and smiling.
