Snow, Snow, Snow & yes...more SNOW!

Outfitted in their new snowpants, even Caleb enjoyed playing in the snow this time. We had a huge snowstorm Christmas night- that we scarily drove home in. There was so much snow that Matt and I need to see a chiropractor after shoveling it all!! Time for a snowblower!!

A Wonderful Christmas

Our family was greatly blessed by family and friends this Christmas. What a wonderful time to be with family and think about our Savior. We enjoyed all of our get-to-togethers and love you all.


On Christmas Eve the kids were able to open one gift- their PJ's. It was hard to keep them out of the rest of the presents- which is why everything stayed in the basement until Christmas Eve right before bedtime.

Both Kayden and Elizabeth had to be pulled out of the pile of gifts!

Hayes Christmas Party

My dad, sisters, and their families came over Sunday for a big turkey dinner. It was like Thanksgiving all over again. The grand-kids had fun with Grandpa Hayes. Grandpa even braved feeding both babies their cereal! Conner did much better than Elizabeth- big surprise!

Let It Snow

Kayden had so much fun playing out in the snow while Dad shoveled. Caleb gave up quick when his pants were frozen stiff, but Kayden had to be bribed inside with some hot chocolate.

Stones Christmas Party

Matt's family came over to our house for a Christmas party. We exchanged gifts and ate yummy food. The cousins had a blast being together. Our kids had so much fun with their new toys we joked about not needing gifts Christmas morning.

Elizabeth and Isabella will have to learn to defend themselves with all these boys!!

7 Months

At Elizabeth's petite 7 months people are a bit startled by her two teeth. She's had them two months already and her top two are peeking through. Elizabeth is so much fun. She still prefers to roll to get everywhere. She's very close to crawling but gets frustrated quickly and will roll instead. Why rush more mischief?

Flag Football?

1st Annual Turkey Bowl

Our Elder's Quorum had their first Turkey Bowl this year. It was a huge success with an awesome turnout. But I don't think "flag football" is the correct term. Several shirts and shorts were torn and Matt came home proudly with a shiner!! The boys kept teasing him that he was wearing eyeshadow. This picture doesn't do it justice- it got a whole lot worse before it got better!

Cousins

Take what you can get! With 5 kids this is a masterpiece! Matt and I, along with my sister Elisa, tried everything to get a picture for the grandparents for Christmas. We couldn't get Kayden to smile at all. Later that night he had a fever of 105 degrees. No wonder he didn't feel like smiling!!
