Winter fun in Colorado

Well the Binghams have been having fun checking out our new home in Colorado. We went to the Denver Aquarium and had a blast. We saw all sorts of marine life. Rebekah had a little breakdown in the middle of the Aquarium because she wanted to see an animated Gorilla and Ryan thought she was saying Koala and there was not a Koala anywhere to be found. When we finally figured out what she was telling us life was so much better for our cute little 2 year old. Erik just finished Basketball season and loved it. He is about to turn 11 in 2 months and I just keep thinking how did he get so tall and so smart. He is growing way to fast for me. He is going to be taller than me in no time:( Jared is getting excited for soccer to start. He had a valentines activity at school and I took Bekah and Luke and we had lunch with Jared. The 3rd graders had a salad bar to share with their parents and it was alot of FUN. Jared wore a shirt to school that said "Don't make me do the Valentines Dance!" Well guess who did the Dance a million times that day! I warned him but he insisted on the sign. Rebekah is getting so big and her hair is growing sooooo long. She is so busy and into everything. I can't turn around without cleaning up something. We had a little incident with the dog and poor little Thunder looked like he was in shock. Rebekah got the tub of butter off the kitchen counter and decided that Thunder needed a hairdo. I wish I would have been in the frame of mind to take a picture but I just kept thinking that now the dog needed a bath and the carpet needed to be cleaned and Rebekah needed to be in time out. Not one of our better days!! It seems I turn my back for a minute and she is either changing her clothes or putting on my mascara. Luke is now 5 months old and my chubby little buddy. He is so cute and I just love his smile. His chubby little hands are grabbing for everything. Ryan has been winter camping with the Scouts. He is also busy with his calling and work. He is such an awesome DAD!!!! He is always trying to find time to spend with the kids doing something productive and also playing with them. We had a visit from Nana and Papa on different weekends recently and loved every minute of it. As for me I am loving being home with my kids even though some days are not so great and I am learning how to be a patient mom:) At least I hope I am.

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!!

Thanksgiving Trip

We had a great trip to Utah to visit family and bless Luke. It was so nice to see Grandpa and Grandma Friddle and Cousins at Uncle Tory's home. Luke has had a hard time since we have been home because he was held so much he thinks that is how life should be. Sorry to my little one but there is laundry to do:) He sure enjoyed it though!! We also enjoyed staying with Mike and Sheree for a night. The kids had so much fun and didn't want to leave. The Kids enjoyed seeing all their cousins at Grandma and Grandpa Binghams for Thanksgiving and we sure appreciate all the hard work they put into hosting Thanksgiving and Lukes Blessing. Thanks to all who came to the blessing and supported our Family. We sure appreciate you all. We also were able to be there for Lance and Megans daughter Kali Celeste blessing. What a beautiful little angel she is. We got some fun news yesterday that Uncle Aaron and Aunt Amanda had a handsome little boy weighing in at 8lbs and 8oz. He has all of my kids beat!!!. We sure can't wait to see pictures. Hope you all have a great week and hopefully I can post again before Christmas.
