Movie Night

The Problem:

The Solution:

(Popcorn and a movie - don't worry, they were the mini bags)

(Mikelle and Boston - they came up to me and said "Look, we are boy and girl ghosts.")

Look how big my little guy is getting!

5 Months old and other things.

I can't believe Tyrel is five months old. Today he officially rolled over from his back to his stomach for the first time. I think he may teething because he is drooling like crazy. He is grabbing toys and playing with them and trying to put stuff in his mouth. He is a huge thumb sucker! He loves watching the kids play and he will smile and laugh very easily now. He is very ticklish. Tyrel also loves when you sing to him.

Mikelle and Tyrel - I love this picture!

And here is Tyrel rolling over...for the grandparents...mostly!

And here are some pictures of our day at the park:

And just other pics:

Mikelle and Boston in sunbeams. It was Mikelle's first Sunday there. Matt (illegally) took the picture of them in primary.

Mikelle loves taking pictures of herself with photobooth. Here is a good one of her.

Utah Trip

We had so much fun in Utah with family and friends and it was nice to take a 1 hr. 20 min. flight back with the kids while Matt drove the car back even if the flight was a little crazy (to say the least). Here are a couple pictures of our trip I thought were cute:

Family Pictures

We took some real quick family pictures in my parents living room after church last week. Here are the results:

Matt thought he was hilarious by putting chocolate all over his teeth before pictures....

....or by making funny faces in an otherwise perfect family pic.

Mikelle had had it by this point

But we did get one good one!

Happy New Years!

Welcome 2010! I am really excited about the new year! I have a lot of goals for the year and I can't believe it is 2010 already. Weird to think that Matt and I got married in 2004; Mikelle was born in 2006, Jonah in 2007, and Tyrel in 2009! Time has gone by so fast. Anyway, I had a really fun new year's eve! We spent a couple days at the Barnes home (Aaron's inlaws) in Rigby Idaho. They live on a farm, so we got to watch the girls do the afternoon chores (which the kids loved), and Mikelle even rode a horse. We played a lot of different games and had yummy snacks! On New Year's Day, we went up to Rexburg, which is always so fun for me to visit since that is where Matt and I met, and we visited Aaron and Kayla's apartment, went out to dinner at Wingers were Aaron was our server, and visited my cousins who just had a baby a month ago and got to see a lot of my Dad's family. Fun way to ring in the new year!

Tyrel's Baby Blessing

We waited till Christmas to bless Ty so we could have my family around and we decided to go up to Idaho so Aaron and my grandparents could be there also. Well, Mike got scheduled to work everyday and couldn't get it off and both my grandparents got sick so we didn't even see them; so it wasn't quite like we planned but still worked out really good. We had the blessing in Rigby, Idaho at the Barnes house, (Aaron's inlaws) on New Year's Eve.

Family Picture - this was the best one. It will be weird when the kids are old enough to all smile and look at the camera
