bOoNdOcKs!!

On New Year's Eve we took the kids to Boondocks with the cousins! They always have a fun time there...we stayed for over 4 hours! Thanks to Aunt Carla for the passes~ so nice!

Avery's looses her first tooth!

Avery got to meet the pilots on our way back to Salt Lake~ pretty cool! AND, as soon as we landed, and got down to baggage claim,she lost her first tooth!!

Christmas in Louisiana

We arrived in New Orleans about 9pm on Christmas Eve...and of course, the airline lost both carseats...ya, I knew something would happen, that's one of the reasons we carried on our other luggage. So, with "loaner" carseats, and a ride from Johnny's sis, we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Nobles house. We had a fun Christmas with cousins, Aunts and Uncles and friends. Lucky for me~ I got to wear flip-flops the whole time... :) Winter is the best time to visit there...little humidity, but decently warm! The kids had tons of fun with cousins and Grandma and Grandpa, and especially enjoyed picking and eating oranges.

santa came early!

Santa came to our home early, on Christmas Eve, because he knew we were going to Louisiana for Christmas. So, we celebrated Christmas Eve morning and then headed for the airport around noon. We also stopped by Grandma and Grandpa Jeppson's and opened gifts with cousins, before leaving. Avery was thrilled to get and American girl "like" doll and a Nintendo DS, and Grandma even got her the Monster High Doll she wanted. Wyatt LOVES his new cars and race track, we play everyday!

school play :)

Avery tried out for the school (Pirates of Penzance jr.) and was cast as one of the daughters. She has always wanted to be in a play, so this should be fun for her! The pictures are from audition day~ she had to say a few lines and sing a song, by herself! She did fabulous!

just hangin' on a Saturday morn...

Love Saturday mornings when we just lounge in our pj's...so do the kiddos :)

mom and wy~ baking!

Wyatt loves to be in the kitchen with me...he is my little helper. This day we were making cookies and cinnamon rolls for Daddy to take to work for Christmas.
