TYDEN!!

I asked Tyden to get his own PJs and get them on. He decided to dump out all the clean laundry and hide instead. I guess this is what happens when mom gets busy and dad's not home. It was hard to stay made because he was so funny. I guess that's how the Lord works!

Christmas outfits

The kids all got new clothes for Christmas. We like to wear them every-other week in December and then when every they want. They were dang cute and a big hit!

TaVaci Concert

Santa Clause it Comin' to Town was the reason for the lovely beards. For Tyden's first concert he did amazingly well. We were all sad that dad had to miss it though!

The whole Jr. Class waiting for the solo to be over.

Cypress entered her little gingerbread house in the local contest and won $10 for it!

Forget Rudolph, I'm the cutest reindeer!

Well, it's a toss up, we're all pretty cute!

Tree

We went to the forrest to get a tree and it was quite an adventure. It' s much harder to find a good tree than one might think. If you want to see our completed project, you'll just have to come visit!!

Reunion

I had my 10 year class reunion the day after Thanksgiving in Manteca. It was fun to see old flames and old friends. I feel very blessed! (Cheerleaders 1st, Crystalee 2nd, Jill 3rd)

Thanksgiving in Tracy

We took a new family picture and decided to cut out the middle man and take them ourselves with tripods, hopefully between everyone's cameras, we got a good one!

Amber bought tons of foam stickers and the kids had a great time making cards and piggy banks with all the cool designs.

Krystal bought Rockband for WII and it was enjoyed by all!

We had Thanksgiving at the Hills and the whole family was there. It was GREAT food and great fun!!

KASEN - TOO DANG CUTE!

This was as I was working on this blog and I couldn't pass up this cuteness!

Tyden turns 3

Tyden got his first breakfast in bed and his first "yata" (pinata) this year and boy did he love it!

Halloween

Halloween was fun for all, no one was sick and we were all safe. Cypress was a nurse, Tayla was a pink poodle, Tyden was Batman, and Kasen was a dog.

Family pic

We took a bunch of family pictures on Sunday and this is one of our favorites.

Halloween

It was hard but very fun decorating my new shelves for Halloween. The cloth was Charmayne's idea but Terry said to change it for the holidays. I have a matching table cloth and should soon have a matching curtain.

CUTEST KIDS!!

We brought these flower crowns to the girls from Vegas and let them wear them to church. Tyden is in his first white shirt and Kasen in his first real church clothes (weird angle not really that chubby).

Soccor

Tayla (in blue) plays for the Penguins and is #5 and often plays goalie.

Cypress (in red) plays on the Vipers and is #12 and is usually a defender.

They both seem to love it!

Tyden is too young to play yet, but loves practicing at home.

Cypress turns 7

She had her first sleep over with two friends, then a party with each set of Grandparents, and made out like a bandit! She has grown up way to fast!

Interbike

We went to the bike show in Las Vegas, met Dave Mirra (a pro rider who makes bikes that we sell), stayed at the Excalibur, went to the King's tournament dinner and show, left the older kids with Grandpa and Grandma, and had a great time!

HOTEL FUN

We took the kids to a hotel with a swimming pool and then bathed them after. Kasen liked this part best, the pool was too cold.

Kasen is more active!

He has started reaching for the toys and smiling on command. It's crazy how fast they change! He sure is fun.

School!

Today was Tayla's 5th B-day and the first day of Kindergarden for her and 2nd grade for Cypress. We really didn't plan for their outfits to match, it just worked out that way! I think they were both happy with their day!

Blessing 2

We were going to have a 3 baby blessing but Terry had to leave town so we cheated and blessed Kasen early but we still put him back in his suit so we could take pictures with his cousins. Don't they look adorable. By the way, Paij made Morgan's darling dress.

Talent?!

Kalli, Cypress and Michalene all entered things in the Butte county fair and won first place. Kalli entered a picture for Terry and he took second. It was a good experience!

Cousins!

Paij (Kalli's sister) and her new baby Morgan (May 22) and Haylee (Kalli's other sister) and her new baby Bode (May 23)and Dylan and Lexi came to visit this week. (Remember Kasen was June 25.) We have had a ton of fun taking pictures of the babies and just hanging out!
