Playing "Taffy" with uncle E! I think C chose the flavor "mint gum" or something funny like that. It's a family game we made up when we were tiny.

In the Christmas spirit!!!

Baby J saying "Ho, ho, ho"

My sweet smiling little boy!

We got snow two days ago and B had to take the boys out in it before it melted while he was at work. He is such a good daddy. Way funner than mom. ;)

Snuggle Buggles

We were watching a movie and the kids all wanted to cuddle with mom. Why? They are with me all day! B though it was funny. They didn't want to sit with dad. Just mom.


Our anniversary. Not the best pic...i look like a hippo. But, we were on the way to cabin. Drove through zion's since our year pass was about to expire. D took this pic of us. 8 year anniversary.

Our cute kiddos at zion's. they loved it and didn't want to leave.

Dad with his boys. I love this pic of them. We love our boys!

Surgery, Care Packages, and Late Birthday

care package sent down for the kids and Me from Aunt keri. the kids loved it and had to call aunt keri and tell her thanks. they thought this mom getting surgery was pretty cool, from all the care packages we got. Such great family!

And this is where my sister gets it from...my sweet grandma boothe. She sent down this care package for us as well. I got hers, and then the next day i got keri's. It was like Christmas. A new package for each day. Grandma sent this movie and some stickers for me, and then the tracers, cards, and stickers for the boys. They again, LOVED it!

My mom sent this card down. It made me laugh so hard, which then hurt my stomach to laugh, but i couldnt' quit gigglying. It said, "Let someone else blow these up for you, and think of them as 'balloon flowers'!" Love mom, Dad and Eric. anyway, just a funny idea.

I was sick the week of my birthday. We didn't do anything. Then my surgery the next week. So, two and half weeks AFTER my birthday i finally opened cards, packages and gifts from people. Mom n Dad sent me money and the new Ryan Shupe cd, b's parents gave me money, b got me a new coat and grandma sent some money. so it was good. this picture...not so good. That's what surgery will do to ya!

B brought me flowers from my surgery. He rarely gets me flowers. This time i really scared him, i knew that, when he walked in with these. He even got my favorite. Roses with alstros!
