Mmmm... Pudding...

What can I say, the girl likes her pudding.

Stars and Stripes

I think he could fit right in in Hollywood. What a star!

1 Year Old

Hard to believe Audrey is 1 year old.

She has very beautiful eyes.

But they are getting sleepy. Should we call it a night?

Spidey's Birthday

Logan turned four years old! Look at that snazzy basketball cake.

Is that spiderman? No, just Logan with a spiderman scooter, helmet, pads and sandals.

Ties

Get ready for some posts. I haven't posted in a few days (but who is counting right?), so I thought I'd go through the camera and post a handful of pictures.

I was getting Logan dressed for church and put on his tie. Kayson said he wanted a tie too, but we didn't have one for him. About 5 minutes later he came back and told me he found a tie.

Jump, Jump, Jump

I guess it is past time for a post. I have a million excuses, but none of them good, for not posting for so long. Here is Audrey in her Jumparoo that she got for Christmas. I'd say Santa knew what he was doing with this present.



Today we went to visit Grandma Great. Trevor took a nice picture of Grandma holding Audrey. I told him he'd have to post it to his blog, but later he decided he didn't like the picture and deleted it from his camera. Of course, he kept the picture of my truck that he took through the van window as we were pulling out of the garage. Amy, do you offer any kids photography classes? I'm afraid his artistic future is doomed.

Trevor's new blog.

Check it out. The link is on the right. Trevor has a new blog. He added his first post himself tonight.

From Audrey

Okay, Dad is not updating this blog often enough. I am too cute to not have millions of blog posts about me, so I guess I will have to post pictures myself. (Did I mention that I am really humble too?)

Here I am playing on the floor, but you better look quick because...

I'm leaning, leaning...

And over I go.

I like to be held, but this is a bit uncomfortable. I think I'm okay still.

Wait a minute! Is he old enough to hold me? And what is all over his face? Is that Mac & Cheese?

Well, at least I get a kiss. Everything is great.

See you all later. I'll keep bugging Dad to post more cute pictures of me (and the rest of the family I guess).

Lots of Updates

I guess it is about time to post an update (thanks for the reminder Amy and Scott). Of course a lot has happened since the last post. Audrey is home and doing great. She was 9 lb. 2 oz. at the last doctor visit. Trevor started first grade, Logan is nearly potty trained and Kayson turned two. Unfortunately, we don't have many pictures from the last couple of months because our digital camera broke and our camcorder LCD screen displays upside down (it can be frustrating trying to film something that way). So the few pictures below were taken by April's brother Michael.

In October we went with many of April's relatives to Zion's National Park. It was a lot of fun. Here is a picture of Trevor and Elissa on top of the world.

Here are several of the cousins.

Wait a minute! One of those cousins looks like aunt Char! We went on a couple of hikes, and all that walking made Audrey really thirsty. Here she is enjoying good food and good company.

Logan earned the nickname Lizard Logan on this trip. On one of our hikes he was holding Grandpa's hand. I said, "That's a cool lizard holding your hand, Grandpa." Logan looked around then about 30 seconds later he started laughing and said, "No, Dad. I'm not a lizard; I'm Logan!" Here's a clip of him showing off his reptilian side.

After our trip we celebrated April's grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary. We really enjoyed being with them to recall and retell the memories. They are an excellent example for all of their posterity. Since they didn't have a wedding cake when they were married, they finally cut one 60 years later.

Lastly, we would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. We have been very blessed this year and when we count our many blessings we count our family first.

Almost Home

Last night we stayed over night at the hospital in anticipation of bringing Audrey home tomorrow. She is doing really well. She spent the night with us in the hospital room. It was a lot of fun despite having to sleep on an uncomfortable bed. She passed the 4 Lb mark a couple of days ago and is eating (and pooping) really well. We'd love to show her off if you come visit, but because of her size the doctor has given a few precautions for a little while. Obviously all visitors must be very healthy. Kids under 3 can come visit if they are feeling well, but can't hold or kiss her. Thanks for helping us keep Audrey healthy and growing. Soon she'll be running around with her cousins and friends, playing on the grass and falling out of swings when Grandpa B launches her to the moon.
