We're not tired!


Tori and Lila wanted to watch a movie...we told them it was too late to start a movie.....but we're not tired.....20 min later....out.



I like to call this one granny Lila

Chicken Noodle



Crea got these great pictures of Abby LOVING her dinner of home-made chicken noodle soup. You never know what Abby will love or what she will say, "EEEEW" to. One day she loves something and a week later I try to get her to eat it again and she makes the funniest face and says, "EW." That's really builds a mothers self-esteem in her cooking ability.







Snow!

The girls love to go sledding when we get a really good snow! Wonderful Aubrey hauled the girls all around for hours-the best part is when Duke tries to get in the sleds with the girls...nothing like a good old GIANT wet dog!
Lila and Hali

I'm not going to make it/ FASTER / Tiny saddle

Driving home from Grandma Norton's house we were almost to Camp Verde when Hali started saying, "I need some ice cream!" We responded by saying that we would stop at DQ in 5 minutes to use the bathroom and get a treat. As soon as we said bathroom she started whimpering..."I have to go pee...I need some ice cream....I NEED to go PEE!" as every parent knows you try to make them hold it when you are only 5 minutes from a toilet so thats what we did and I have some great video of her saying, "I'm not going to make it," over and over. She made it and all was well but we had a pretty funny last 5 minutes. It's a good thing Lila and Abby were being good or Crea might not have gotten back in the truck at DQ!

At home Crea has the girls push him around the dining room and kitchen on Lila's wiggle car. It's pretty darn funny to watch and we have had a few accidents but the laughing is infectious!



Hali was so excited to be the first to ride the mare with the new "tiny saddle"!


Tracen's Baptism


Crea was very honored to baptize Tracen while we were there over Christmas break. They both did great and we were so glad to be there for his special day!

Happy Birthday Crea and Tracen!

We went bowling to celebrate both Crea's and Tracen's birthdays. We had a pretty big group and the kids had a great time!

Trace and his cousin waiting to bowl!

Abby loves her Daddy!
