Here Comes Santa Clause

We went to see Santa last night and do a little Christmas shopping. Notice no tears. We had to talk Ashleigh into it but she did ok on Logan's lap. Do you like her new cheesy smile for the camera?

This year the kids drew each others names and they were able to go shopping too. We took them one at a time to the toy store while the others waited in the play place.

Holiday Home

We were able to get out the tree and decorate it. The kids had so much fun looking at all the ornaments, especially the ones they had made in school in previous years. Everyone got a boost from dad to decorate the top part of the tree.



It was Ashliegh's year to put the star on the tree.

The tree looked pretty good and I didn't even do any rearranging of the ornaments after the kids went to bed.


Logan had to sleep in the Santa hat. He is so excited and keeps asking when there will be presents under the tree for him.(We only have one under the tree from Grandpa Greg.)

November's Happenings

Jeff celebrated his birthday. He is now thirty something.

We were able to visit with Grandpa Wolfington. The kids enjoyed him a lot.


We went to Thatcher to enjoy THATCHGIVING (new term coined by my bro-n-law Steven). We enjoyed being with the extended family. The kids were very entertained with riding the zip line, playing with baby chickens, jumping off the fireplaces with second cousins, and riding horses.

Movie At the Park

On Saturday night we went to a park to watch Kung Fu Panda. The older kids had a good time, Kenyon would have rather been at home, and spent the whole movie aquainting herself with the people sitting around us. You know drinking out of their cups, eating their snacks, she even tickled some unsuspecting dad's toes.

Girls Day Out

We had the opportunity to go see Cinderella at the Hale Center Theater in Gilbert with the girls. We had a blast. The girls really enjoyed it and so did their moms and grandmas.

Here they are with the wicked stepmother and stepsisters.


Fairy Godmother


And of course Cinderella and the prince. My niece Kaydence was upset that her dress was pink and not blue.

3 Months

Can you believe it? 3 months already. We have had a pretty great month. He had his first Halloween and dressed up as Peter Pan.

We have had a couple of rough weeks were he would fuss most of the day but sleep a good 8 hours at night. We visited the doctor who changed his acid reflux medication and it seemed to work.


He is following in Logan's footsteps and has found his thumb to suck on.




Logan changed his first diaper the other day and now wants to do it regularly (only when they are wet ones).


He has had visits from two of his great grandparents and Grandma Lindsay and sees Grandma Tracy every Tuesday and Thursday so mom can teach preschool.

Do you remember sponge curlers?

I have always wanted to try sponge curlers in Makenzie's hair. You know the ones that you put in when your hair is wet and then sleep on them overnight. She wanted curly hair so I rolled her hair in the sponge curlers. After about 5 minutes she was crying. She didn't want them in her hair. But I convinced her she would love the results.

Happy Halloween

We went over to a friends from the ward this year. They set up chairs in their driveway and have a pot luck dinner. The kids had a blast this year and got tons of candy. I couldn't believe Ashleigh. She would say trick or treat and thank you at every house. Her bag got so heavy it was hard to carry. I tried to help her carry it but she wouldn't let me. The other kids had fun too. Jeff took the two babies home and we stayed a little longer. Some of the teenagers took Makenzie trick or treating a second time and they were gone so long we had to send out a search party to find them.

Pumpkin Carvin'

Trunk or Treat

We had a lot of fun Saturday night at the Trunk or Treat. Kaydence joined us for the fun. They had a fishing for prizes game,
Our little Peter Pan

Jedi Brody & Clone Trooper Logan

Putt putt Ashleigh!

Tossing the rings.

Waitin' in line for another game.

2 Months - Weighing in at 12 lbs 91/2 oz

Here is our 2 month old update a couple of weeks late. He is getting so big. Over this last month he has developed acid reflux, which he takes medication for. He has also started sleeping at least 5 hours at night, which makes mom happy! Kenyon has started cooing and smiling and he even giggles once in a while. I got him the other day with his fingers in his mouth. Kenyon also went on his first camping trip when we went to Mexico. And yes he does have troll doll hair which won't lay flat. I'm sure we'll probably have to get a hair cut in the next couple of months.

Cute Kenzie

I went to give Kenyon a bath last night and Kenzie just was so excited to help. She practiced earlier in the day by giving her Dora a bath with the spray bottle.
We had friends over yesterday and I couldn't find Kenzie and Macie. When I looked this is were they were. I guess they were both trying to hide from their younger sisters. Gives a new meaning to water color art.

Two Kenyons

We had a visit yesterday from Great Grandpa Udall and got a picture of him with the baby. Grandpa wouldn't hold him when he came up for the blessing so we were glad to get this Kodak moment.

Mexico 2008

While we had fun, Jeff and I look forward to next year when all our kids are older and we don't have a 2 month old to contend with in the windy and cold weather.

Potty Princess II

Ashleigh went on the potty today. I noticed that she was trying to poop so I asked if she wanted to try to go on the potty and she said yes. We sat there for a while and she peed! Ya - we sang a song to celebrate. Then Makenzie got her a book and she sat for a while longer and pooped! I'm not sure if I'm up to potty training her yet but if she is willing to go that's sounds great to me. On a side note, yes she does have a fat lip and a goose egg between her eyebrows. Let's just say mom's know best when it comes to sitting down on rocking chairs!
