Tyler's 29th Birthday

It's Tyler's last year to be 20 something....and mine as well.

And I LOVE that we get to have a Red Plate to celebrate...(thanks to Tyler's Aunt Jewel)

He got to have one os his Fav's...Creamy Chicken Spaghetti.

After dinner he had to head off to work...Poor Guy.

A couple days before his birthday he got to open his Birthday gift from the kids and I.
Milloy spilled the beans...that's what I get for letting a 3 year old what Daddy's gift was.
Milloy actually knew for a few days and did so good...until he let it slip.

Our Number 3 Guppy

Here He/She is! And yes, that would be one of my children not wanting to co-operate.

Can you see the baby has it's hand and arm covering it's face. We were all laughing.

That's Better. Now you can see the Arm, Hand and Face.

And for a last laugh...the baby elbowed the Dr. It was tired of all the messing around.

No matter what we did to it all I wanted to know was that the baby was healthy. And yes, He/She is! It's heart was beating at 147. We got to see the blood pumping through the heart and arteries. We got to see the fluid going up the spine. The Dr also checked for Clef Lip/ Pallet...none there. We got to see kidney's and the brain.

It was the BEST ultra sound I have ever had.

We are know we are SO blessed to have another baby and hope that we can be the Parents the Lord is trusting we will be.

Jesus wants me for a....

I hate how the last pictures you upload are the first ones to come up. Anywayz!

This is how we found Mr. Sneaky last night bout an hour after he went to bed.

I think I can make an album from all the sneaky things he has done after going to bed.

Alaina in her new CTR 5 Class. She was SO excited to sit in the chairs
behind the Sunbeam chairs.

And here is Milloy in his new class. "I'm a Sunbeam now, Mom!"

Yep, there are only a couple kids in his class. The little boy with his back to the camera is a less active kid. Hopefully he and his family will come more often...

otherwise, it's just Milloy and Josiah.

(The year Alaina was born was a huge group...so only me and another Mom were crazy

enough to have another just after having our firsts)

Alaina Kay- Super excited to go to her new CTR 5 class.

Mr. Miagi (aka Milloy) excited to NOT be in Nursery any more.

PS- He looks even more like Tyler when he is in his suit.

I can't believe don't have a child in Nursery!

Time sure does FLY!

Christmas and Utah Trip

The kids opening gifts and their big gift from Santa...a Tramp!

After Santa came...before destruction.

Hanging out with Cousins in Utah.

Oliver (3), Alaina (4), Elana (4), Milloy (3)

My cousin, Emily's kids...(Hallie-15 mo old- was asleep)

Alaina and Elana are 2 months apart and have not seen each other since they were about 2. They had SO much fun being "Twin Cousins".

Family Picture at the Salt Lake Temple

Tyler and I have a picture of us in this exact spot April '02, before we got married...

(I was wearing the same jacket!)

My Dad and Milloy walking hand in hand around Temple Square.

My Dad, Vicki, Me, Tyler, Milloy and Alaina in front of some of the many lights at temple square.

Do you like how the kids pant legs are stuck in their boots?

Milloy and Brett at Dinner 12/31/08


We had a great time in Utah. The first day (the 27th) we went up to Heber to see my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins. It was SO much FUN to see them and get to see cousins and more cousins.

That night we went to Paul and Heather's new Mansion. WOW is that house big!...and the basement isn't even done! The next day we went to the Lehi Legacy Pool and swam. We also got to meet Grand-D's (my Dad's) Swimmers. Dad had practice during winter break...Poor Kids!

Then we went to Temple Square and saw the lights. We took Trax up...The Train. It made the trip easier than trying to park in Salt Lake.

We also got to see more cousins the next night after Brady, the girls, Tyler and Cheyenne went Skiing and Snowboarding at Sundance. We all met and had Pizza, Wings and Salad at Debbie and Damon's. It was SO much fun to see Paul and Heather, Byron and Steff, Cheyenne and all the cousins. We played games and hung out.

The next day (the 31st) we packed up and said Bye to Grand-D and headed down to Price to see MORE cousins and my Brother, Ryan and his wife Kristy. Their house is SO cute and we had a TON of fun getting to talk and hang out with them.

We made out Trek home yesterday (the 1st) and made it home at 5:30pm. YEAH!

Tyler is back to work today and I am doing laundry and unpacking, cleaning and recouping.

To all those who we got to hang out with....Thanks! We had a GREAT time! LOVE YOU ALL!

Tyler, Kayla and the guppies

Tyler's Car on Wed Night. As you can see the snow was coming down hard and fast.
Here is the kids car when the snow was getting started.

This is looking out from our porch at all the snow falling. (Brady and Susan's house across the street)

It got much thicker after this.

More snow for the snow men. They are singing in the snow.

It was the first snow in 8+ years. And the locals said that "it has never been this much before."

So, for all those who have asked if it snows where we live....Yes, It finally DID!

Snow in North Edwards

Yeah...North Edwards has gotten snow for the first time since I have lived here, (5 years), and Tyler said "It's been about 7 years since the NE has seen snow."

The kids are outside playing in it. I will post more pictures later.

PS- this is the first time our snow men have seen "Real" snow. They were my Mom's and Oxnard usually goes about 20 years between seeing snow. I remember I was about 6-8 and O-Town got a little tiny bit. It stuck for a while to the roofs and that was it.

Let it SNOW!

Santa 2008 (Pre Christmas Stuff)

This was Alaina's face when she saw Cinderella's Evil Step Mother and Step Sisters at the Disneyland Parade last week. She didn't know what to think. She has never seen one of the "Bad" people at Disneyland.
Tyler tried to get her to wave at them and "Be Nice", but she was NOT going for it!

Here is the Santa from Disneyland that day. The kids were SO happy to see Mrs. Clause on the float just before Santa's. They had been concerned with where she was and what she was doing.

Here is Daddy reading the kids their bed time books. This looked TOO cute so I snatched a couple pictures. (I'm glad I did!)

Seeing Santa 2008 at the mall. He is the same one every year and we have SO much fun!!!

This was Tyler's first year that he was able to go with us and see how the kids just light up and have fun.

Giving Santa their letters.

Santa even read them a story. (Seriously....this guy is GOOD!)

We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and remember that

Christmas begins with Christ!

love, the guppies
