Christmas & New Year 2009

Happy New Year

We have had a busy Holiday season!! My Parents came for Christmas with my neices Sami and Makena and we had a great time with them. It was so nice to have them in our home for Christmas morning. The kids had a fun time opening toys and putting together Lego's and Bekah had fun dressing up all day. Ryan and I celebrated our 12th Anniversary. It seems like yesterday we were dating and couldn't wait to get married. Now 12 yrs 4 kids and a dog later we still love being together (most of the time:). Ryan is a great dad and husband and works so hard to be here for us. He is really busy but always finds time to spend with the kids and me. Now we have another addition to our family and his name is Thunder. He is nine weeks old and has more energy than I know what to do with. He is so cute and the kids are having a ball with him. We decided it was about time to make my life even crazier by adding another baby to the mix and let me tell you potty training a puppy isn't easy. Luke is growing like a weed and getting chubbier by the minute. Boy do we love him in our family. He has brought such a sweet Spirit into our home and is so fun to watch grow and change. I keep telling him to slow down but he isn't listening. Bekah is such a little princess and loves to dress up and dance around the room. " Mom look at me I'm a queen" is one of her favorite sayings. Jared is our artist and you can usually find him drawing a picture somewhere in the house. he also loves to play Legos with Erik and jump on the Trampolene. Erik loves playing Basketball, Legos and reading. They are both such big helpers. I am just trying to keep up with them and the house and of course the new puppy. Ryan is busy with work, his calling and has just started drawing again when he has time. Hope you all have a fantastic New Year!!
