Ahg!!! I am So Behind!!!


I am terribly sorry to all you who have been checking in to see what we have been up to. It has been a crazy few months...Including but not limited to Recitals, my moms 50th birthday, the holidays, which means 2 family reunions and a lot of photography work, my baby turned 1 and a new calling for me. I am now the Primary Secretary, for a brand new split ward. So That has taken much of my time and thats not to mention schooling and everyday life like dishes laundry and cooking. So I am going to try to do better and not leave all the out of town family out of the loop as to what we have been doing.

So I will be posting a few of the happenings around here and then I will be back on the band wagon!! So be patient, here goes!!

Derek put our chickens to a different use this fall. Yikes...not really my cup of teaThe girls had their Christmas recital. It was SO CUTE!!! Mylee even danced the whole thing on stage! I tried to get the rehersal video to work. It wouldn't, Sorry Karen!


Kenna got a new monkey stuffed animal for Christmas. As you can see, she LOVES it!! This is how I found her asleep one night, with her monkey hugging her and her favorite pony. I couldn't resist a picture. Sweet girl!

Okay, these.....ummm...Not sure what to say, just that He has an app on his phone that provided hours of entertainment.


The were laughing histarically...it was pretty funny



Again.....no explanation nessesary. I do think he looks like Simon Cowell in this one. ;P


At Thanksgiving With Derek's family



Kaliah opened up her first doll from Grammie. She LOVED it!!

Family pictures....Staker family

Totally Awesome snowman that Derek and the girls built. They named him.....Frosty.

How Original

My Mom made aprons and chef hats for all the little girls. Too much fun!!

Family pictures....Weekes family!

At the cabin they had a zip line. Derek couln't resist. Even if it was FREEZING outside!

Tried to do a family one outside...didn't work out so well. But I thought this candid one was cute.

Another whole family one .




Kaliah Started walking. She still crawls most of the time still though.

She turned one!!! I haven't yet done her 1 year pictures.

But I did manage to grab this one on her birthday.

After getting over the initial SHOCK of the price for car seats, I got online and bought one used and recovered it. This is a picture of it half way done. It was a grey fabric that was warn and a little bit snagged in places. I think it turned out pretty cute. Not bad for $30.

She really likes it. It also reclines, which I LOVE!!

My parents gave her a bubble machine for her birthday. She was pretty into it, as were her sisters. They have a blast with that thing!

Recently we went to a place called "Jump and bounce" The girls loved running and playing on everything. They are just getting so big!!


Here is a little video of them playing on just one of the MANY bounce houses there.

I am actually inside it with them. This thing was HUGE!!!

So there you have it. Our life in a nutshell.

:p

You are such a beautiful family. Wish we could have seen you at kyrstens place. I'm so impressed with the car seat cover. Was it hard? I've been thinking about doing the same with my infant seat. What type of material did you use. Any suggestions would be great.
