Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Santa came to our house and our boys were so happy!

Thanks Santa for all the wonderful stuff!

Jack's Kindergarten Feast

Jack's Kindergarten Class had a "Thanksgiving Feast" at his school in the cafeteria. Daddy couldn't make it (mommy was running around being a teacher) so we invited Grandma Gaylene to come and eat with Jack. Thanks Grandma for coming!

We are so thankful for Jack!

Snow!

We love Snow! Our First Winter Storm!

This was Luke's first real experience with the snow. I got him all dressed up to go play outside with Jack and Daddy. I think little ones are so cute in their snow clothes.

We made his first snowman!

He is kissing and hugging the snowman in these pictures. So Funny!

Soon after these pictures Jack does what Jack does and destroyed the snowman! What a stinker!

Luke's 2nd Birthday!

Happy Birthday to our sweet little monster!

Luke is such a sweet boy. I can't believe he is already 2. He has been such a joy and I am so glad he is in our family. Everything he does is so cute, even when he is naughty, I try hard not to laugh at him.

For his birthday, Grandpa Tom and Grandma Gaylene took him and our family to Chuckie Cheese's for dinner and to play. He had so much fun, he didn't even want to stop to eat.

After, we went back to our house and had cake and ice cream. If any one knows anything about our little Lukers or has heard me talk about him, you will know that he is obsessed with Sesame Street and Elmo. So, of course his cake had to be Sesame Street.

What a sweet boy! We love him very much!

Funny Boys!

Apparently it is so funny to wear your pants on your head. My boys are hillarious!

Family Fun!

We had so much fun riding the frontrunner down to Salt Lake to the Planetarium. We also went to a movie before heading back home. Lots of fun!

Sweet Girlies!

This past weekend was the Baptism of my nieces, Ashlyn and Brecklyn. These two girls are so sweet! It was wonderful blessing to be part of this spiritual day. I am so glad that these two girls made such a good choice!

My Boys' Future...If they don't shape up!

Jack's First Day of Kindergarten!

I take Jack to my school, but he is not in my class. I put him in my friends class because I just think he would be too naughty for me and would fight the other kids for my attention.

I am very excited for him. So far he has loved it. And he told me that he loves his teacher. He was very well behaved for her, but was very sad that he didn't get to ride the bus home. Sad.

Hollie's Baby Shower

Hollie came to visit this summer and while she was here, my family and I threw her a baby shower. Thanks for all those friends and family that attended. She got some good loot!

Alaska!

In Alaska we went on several hikes. It was so beautiful!

On one of the hikes, as I was walking past a stream, I saw some shiny stuff. I put my hand down and grabbed it, and it was gold! I panned for gold. Really cool. I could have payed liked a hundred bucks to do it as an excursion, but I did it for free! Awesome!

Alaska Cruise: First Stop Seattle

We had the great chance to go on an Alaskan Cruise this summer. The cruise set sail in Seattle, so we decided to go there a day early and see the RedSox play the Mariners (they just "happened" to be in seattle that day) Austin catching a ball in the out field- Okay not really, it was just a backdrop!

This picture is really awful and very embarrassing!

We also of course went to see the Space Needle.

Without knowing, we unintentionnally entered the back door of the Science Fiction museum. We got to see some cool stuff before we realized we were there "illegally." Don't worry folks, once we realized where we were and that we didn't pay, we left.

We also went to the farmers market and saw the famous fish throwing store. It was really cool.

Fun Fun Fun!

Happy Day! Our Trampoline is fixed!

When we moved to our new house, Jack was very upset and didn't want to move. We kept telling him, " But Jack, you will have a trampoline at our new house." Basically, the trampoline was the only reason Jack was willing to move. But after the first summer here, {while Austin was jumping on it} one of the springs broke off and went flying up in the air and landed on the roof. Needless to say, it became a safety hazard, so Austin took it down and for over a year we had a hole in the middle of our yard. Now Jack had no incentive to live here anymore and several times asked to go back to "our old house." But Happy Day Austin bought him a new trampoline. YEA! Now he is willing to live here with us.

Our little Entreprenuer

Jack and his cousin Liv decided they wanted to have a "garage sale" and sale some little "treasures" that had left over from my pre-school incentive treasure box. They sold them for 1 cent each. They didn't make that much money...but they had fun.

The Dukes of Hazard

Everyone knows the show the Dukes of Hazard, and the famous cousins Bo and Luke Duke. Well...

Unintentionally, my Bro and Sis-in-law named their little boy, Bo. He is only 4 months older than our little Luke. Just like the T.V. show, this Bo and Luke are going to be trouble makers.

Family Pics 2010

My nieghbor, Carrie, {Carrie Elton Photography} is a wonderful photographer! She took pictures of our family and we love every pciture she took. She was able to get good pictures of each of us, which is a huge feat, considering Luke is Mr. I hate standing here for longer that 2 seconds, Jack is Mr. I hate my picture getting taken and Austin is Mr. Non-photogenic. These are just a few of my favorites.
