Let it snow!!!

Today has been a beautiful, snowy day; but only if you don't have anywhere to go. While Ben was asleep, Julia, Jack and I played in the snow. After playing outside for a few minutes, Grandpa Moffat came outside and took the kids for a walk to play in the snow on the golf course behind their house. They went and made snow angels, threw snow balls and tried to catch snowflakes on their tongues. The kids had a blast and it seemed like Grandpa did too. They love having their Grandparents living next door to us.

Christmas Season

We had a fabulous Christmas season. We read stories, colored pictures, made cookies, had pictures taken, and waited for Santa to come. It seems that every year on Christmas we either forget to take pictures or forget to take video. This year we forgot to take pictures. So hopefully if anyone has Christmas pics with us in them, they will email them to us. Later I will have to take pics of the kids gifts and post them. But here are a few pics of the things that we have done this December.

The Nutcracker

Diane took Julia and me, along with Mattie and Melissa, to see the Nutcracker. It was nice. Julia really liked watching the ballerinas dance and spin. Luckily the ballet had an intermission, Julia got a litle restless near the end of each half. I let her pick out a nutcracker ornament after the ballet was over. She loved it. It was a fun night to spend with her Grandma and Aunts.

Busy December

Here are some random pics from December.



Ben at 3 months

November

November has been a busy month. Benjamin was blessed on Sunday, November 8. It was a beautiful blessing. Moby blessed him and Grandpa Price, Uncle Chad, Grandpa Moffat, Great Grandpa Aposhian, and our friend Dan Hufstetler were there to show their love for Ben by standing in the circle. Afterwards we had everyone come to our house for chili and cornbread. Yum Yum.
For Thanksgiving we went to Moby's Aunt Sharon and Uncle Dalton's home. It was beautiful and the food was delicious. Aunt Sharon always makes everyone feel welcomed and loved.
After dinner we went to spend the weekend with my parents. They had booked a condo in Park City for the weekend. My whole family went, minus Ashley and Ken who are living in Hawaii at the moment. (P.S. we really missed you both and wish you were here for the holidays.) We played games, ate yummy food, went shopping on Friday, and played more games. It was an awesome and relaxing weekend. Thank you, Mom and Dad. You are the best parents and definitely the best Grandparents ever!

Sorry, picture overload.

Julia and Jack loved sledding. They wanted to keep going, and going, and going. I love Julia's laugh.


After this Jack said, "I not scared, I go again."

Happy 3rd Birthday Jack!

Jackson's birthday was on Tuesday, November 3. He is now three years old. He had a great day. We went to Chuck E. Cheese's for a party with the families. He loves it there. He loves to play the games and climb up and down the slide and merry-go-round. Julia loves playing air hockey. Ben loves to be held by his grandparents.
Some of Jack's favorite things include: cars and trucks, dinosaurs, the new PBS show "Dinosaur Train," the color green, wrestling with Daddy and Julia, riding his yellow Elmo bike, Thomas the Train, string cheese, grape tomatoes, and broccoli.
We love you Jack!!!

Halloween 2009

We had a fun Halloween. The Saturday before Halloween, our ward had their "trunk or treat" party. One of the greatest ideas ever. Friday, the 30th, Moby took Julia and Jack to Julia's school Halloween carnival. On Halloween, we went "trunk of treating" at my parents ward. We had a fun time. Julia was a witch. Jack was Winnie the Pooh. Ben was a reindeer. Moby was a construction worker. I was a witch. We love Halloween and candy.

Thanks Aunt Ash and Ken

"Thank you for the awesome toy Ashley. Thank you for the awesome Hula Ash... and Ken." Love, Jack



He hasn't put the truck down yet. He made sure he had it for his nap and at bedtime. It even went shopping with us yesterday. He loves that truck and the surfboard. He usually calls it a skateboard, though. We miss you guys!!!

Pumpkins

On Monday night, for family home evening, we carved our pumpkins. The kids were so excited. We made them try to get ask much of the guts out as they could on their own. Julia drew her pumpkin's face and Moby cut it out. Jack told us what he wanted and Moby did it. I really suck at carving pumpkins but Moby did a great job. Here is our family of pumpkins. Even little Ben got to have one carved for him.

8 Weeks

Benjamin is 8 weeks old. He is such an angel and a happy baby. He is also quiet, probably our quietest baby. He seems to be growing so much. He is an alert baby. He has started smiling. I love it! If I am having a rough day, all I need to do is hold Ben and see his beautiful smile, then my day is better. He has been sleeping really well. We put him to bed between 9:30-10:30 pm and he will sleep until 4:00-5:00 am. I love it. He has been on this sleeping pattern for about three weeks. During the day he will eat about every two hours to make up for sleeping during the night, but that is fine with me. Here are two pictures of my beautiful smiling Ben.

Handsome Jack

Jackson wore his new shirt and tie to church on Sunday. He is such a big boy. I think he is so handsome but he would not do a normal smile. He was trying to be as goofy as he could. The more I told him to smile normal, the more he smiled goofy. I guess that is a two-year-old for you.

Pumpkin Patch 2009

Last Saturday, Moby, the kids, my Mom, my brother Colton, and I went to the pumpkin patch. Ben was sleeping in the car. It is a fun tradition we have. The kids love being able to run around and pick their own pumpkins. Everyone they touch seems to be better than the last and becomes "the one." We picked five pumpkins, one for each of us, ranged from baby size to daddy size. All of our pumpkins only cost us $14. What a deal! We thought that it would have cost more considering the size of the two larger ones. Next year we will pick even bigger ones! I just love the month of October!!!!! I thought the background on some of the pictures was beautiful, the Jordan River Temple.
