Christmas 2011

We had a couple Christmas' this year. We had an early Christmas with my mom since we'd be gone Christmas day. William was thrilled to finally open some of the presents that were sitting under the Christmas tree all month.

Once he saw this truck he no longer had any desire to open his presents.

Christmas Eve we went bowling with Kaden's family in Mesquite. We had a lot of fun, but boy was it exhausting keeping William from running down the center of the bowling lane.

That's my baby!

Zoe and William sent their balls down the lane.

I'm always the one behind the camera. It is rare that I have my picture taken. Of course I was cheesin it!

They love each other!

We had a great Christmas morning as well.

William had a great time with his toys and stocking stuffers.

I think we may have over done it. :)

As I look through these pictures I realize how much William has grown! He looks so much older too.

Thanksgiving 2011 - 7 Months Late :)

I am so far behind on my blog. I thought I'd just blog about the big events from Thanksgiving to now...

Thanksgiving 2011
Is it sad that I totally forgot about what we did last Thanksgiving. I am so glad I have pictures to remind me!

The boys went 4-wheeling:

My nephew Nicholas is ready to ride the 4-wheeler.

I was apprehensive about letting William ride the 4-wheeler without a helmet. My brother Hayden found an old skateboarding helmet that made me feel a little better.

Later we chilled until dinner was ready:

Dog pile on Kade!!

Uncle Logan joined his nephews

Lydia LOVES William

She especially enjoys when he is being crazy.

 I didn't take any pictures of our Thanksgiving dinner. Sooo unlike me!... I must have been too famished. Later that night we played several games. The game that got the most giggles was Quelf. Here are just a few of the antics we were required to do: Say izzy after every statement we made, snort every time I laughed (by the end of the game my throat killed!), wear a bib the entire game, hold your belly while you laughed, dance like a ballerina, dance in a circle while slapping your behind while saying giddy up, make fun faces, put on lipstick, make and wear a necktie from something in your proximity, wear a mask/helmet, and Ashley was not allowed to use her hands. We had to have lost all of our Thanksgiving feast calories from the amount of laughing we did.

I had to include these two videos because they are too funny not to share.
