Carter's 8 month pictures

Here are some pictures of some pictures (I don't have a scanner, lame I know). The pictures of the pictures don't really do any justice to how cute they really are, but oh well. Try to ignore the glares and also Carter's scraped up nose. Never fails, my kids ALWAYS do something to their cute little faces for pictures. Oh well... he is still pretty darn cute!

Jason's 26th Birthday!

For Jason's birthday we celebrated it a few days early with my side of the family. We had our monthly f.h.e. as well and for our activity we did some indian leg wrestling. For those of you who don't know what that is... the pictures will hopefully explain a few things. Lindsey told me that she would kill me if I posted some of the ones of her... but I am going to anyway. Sorry! Everyone got into it, even the little kids. I was very impressed with my mom because she beat everyone, including Dad. I wasn't able to get that one on camera but I just had to let everyone know. Never pick a fight with mom! I better give Dad some credit because she only beat him once and he made up for it and beat her 2 or 3 times. Still... pretty impressive!

Called to Serve Him!

It's official... Kameron is in the MTC! I can't believe it! It seems like he is still too young to be on a mission. Yea, he is only 2 years younger than I am, but I just seem so old compared to him. Being married and having two kids could be why, who knows though! It was a bitter/sweet thing because we were all so glad that he FINALLY decided to go, but none of us wanted to say goodbye. The saddest part for me was watching him say goodbye to my kids. Most likely they wont even remember him. I guess it is a good thing that they will still be young when he gets back. They will have a lot of time to catchu up on things.

Here is Braden cutting Kam's hair a couple days before.

What a week!

Holy cow! I can't even begin to tell you how glad I am that the holidays are finally over. I know that sounds bad... but we had a crazy week. Mel and Kam went through the temple on the 23rd of December. Then there was Christmas Eve and Christmas with the Rigby's in Pocatello. The next day was Mel and Brantly's reception (Braden puked all morning that morning and I was pulling my hair out!) Then the next day was the wedding, and then finally the next day was Kam's farewell. Am I missing anything? Keep in mind that this entire week was the storm of the century! (Yes mom... I get my exaggeration from you) Phew! I am so ready to relax!

Here are my cute boys Christmas morning!

This was the view from my parents backyard when we woke up on Christmas

Braden loved the olives at the reception

Here are the two love birds

This is how Carter was the whole week.
