Kayani turns TWO!!!

Kayani turned 2 years old on Sunday, the 24th! She had a cute Flower Rice Crispy Treat for her cake, and got lots of presents! Most was of Ariel ('The Little Mermaid'), since that is her first name, and she was so excited! She loves Ariel! :o) Can't believe you're already two you little cutie! Love you!

How they grow...

It's so amazing how big children get so quickly! Just got bored at work the other night and made this little collage...

Golfing with Daddy

Jaycee loves to play with Ryan's clubs, and stuff when she goes into "his room" (the one he decorates). So he decided to let her putt with him before she went to bed. It was pretty cute, and she enjoyed it!

"tinkle, tinkle, witta tar"

The best I could get of her "Twinkle, Twinkle" and we're still working on "Tiny Turtle"...she randomly throughout the day will just start singing twinkle twinkle, and it just makes me giggle. It's too cute! When she does the whole song, it's even better, too!

Eight & counting...

My parents now have 8 grand kids and will soon have 9 and I'm sure shortly after that there will be more...it never ends when there are 7 children to provide them! :o) It's so fun to have most of them so close. We love when we do get to see Sierra, also. This is the most recent picture of them all together before she left back home yesterday.

left to right-top to bottom: Ethan, Owen, Aubree, Kayani, Jaycee, Sierra, Talon, Jackson!

Talon was so proud to be able to hold baby Jackson in the picture, it was pretty cute! The last picture is what most of the (probably 40) pictures looked like. But we were able to get the top one, which turned out pretty good!

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Ryan turned 26 Wednesday! Old old old man!!! ;-) We had family over for cake and ice cream that night and we're so glad they could come. Then we were still able to make it to his church ball game later in the evening. Where Jaycee cheered for daddy, and enjoyed playing with the other little kids that were there.

Then later after the basketball game, I came downstairs to find daddy sitting on the couch with ALL of Jaycee's babies in his arms, then all the sudden she climbed on up too! It was pretty cute, so I had to take a picture of it! She always hands you her babies and says, "heeia, daddy, heeia!" (here, daddy, here!) It's actually pretty cute the way she says it!

Thursday evening, I was able to take Ryan on a date for his birthday present. We're grateful to mom who kept Jaycee for the night for us so we could go to dinner and a late movie! The first movie in a LONG time. So thanks mom! And Happy Birthday, Honey! So glad you were born 26 years ago so you could be a GIANT part of my life now, and give me these cute babies of ours! I LOVE YOU!!!

Our Monkey

Jaycee thinks it's pretty fun to climb in and out of the baby toy now that she doesn't fit...she usually gets into positions similar to this one but still seems to not mind and plays for about 5 minutes before she asks for help out! :-) Too funny!

Happy New Year!!!

We spent the evening playing games and eating snacks all night at Randy and Michelle's house! Thanks guys for having us over! We had fun! Jaycee made it to 11:50 pm! Too bad she just couldn't stay awake for 10 more minutes! :o( Oh well...she was a trooper and thoroughly enjoyed playing with all of Riley's toys! Happy New Year everyone! Hope 2010 goes well for you all!

Naylor Christmas Party

Saturday, we went to Aunt Terry's where we spent the day with the Naylor's! We ate dinner, exchanged gifts, and found out that Ty and Shauna's baby is a girl, Taw got engaged to Brooke Tolman on Christmas, and everyone else who didn't already know found out we are having another munchkin! It was loads of fun! Thanks everyone!

Everyone was able to join us, since we don't get to see them very often...Aunt Ruth, Aunt Jean, Grandpa, Anita, Aunt Karen, & Uncle Lynn. It's always good to see these fine young people! :o)Ryan challenged Michael to see how many clothespins he could do......it was 60! Crazy boys!Kayani and Lindi would run down the hall and David (who is sitting behind them) would just have to say boo, and they'd scream and run back down the hall! It was pretty cute, and Lindi's laugh was so deep and cute!Baby Doris!Excited to see "Santa" (Cody dressed in red)!

Everyone opening up gifts and sitting around!

Kirra and her Uncle Jeff!

Santa and his helper picking children to pass out gifts!

Oh the joy...

...of messy food!!! This was our dinner on Christmas night, and Jaycee, clearly, enjoyed it! She loves anything with noodles in it, and this was a lasagna bake, so lots of noodles and sauce to scarf down! :o)

"Don't bother me, I'm eating!"See how messy & how proud?!?!?! We love it!
