Anthony, the Birthday boy!!

December 11th was Anthonys fourth birthday! He started the day off wanting an english muffin with a candle.

We went to Angels office and Angel suprised him with some presents.

Anthony with his poor ghetto cake. Now I remember why I usually order one. I dont bake well. Oh-well, he loved it!

Present time

We are so blessed to have Anthony in our family. He is so funny! He seems so much older than he is. He loves music and the radio is never loud enough. He is so sweet and definately a mammas boy. He says when he gets bigger we will get married and then we can get a baby. He is such in important part of our lives. We love you dudie!

Anthony was exhausted from decorating the tree.

We loved our tree that we bought at Lowes. Well as of last sunday, the tree is officially DEAD. I mean dead! I feel like it will burst into flames at any moment, even with the lights unplugged. It makes me very sad. Im so temted every day to take it down. All the branches are sagging and the ornaments are falling off.

Better late than never right?

Angel took this picture of Anthony on my grandmas toilet. Who knows why but I think its cute.

Family Pictures

I am a major slacker! Updating my blog hasn't been a priority in my life if you can't tell. We did get some family pictures taken the day after Thanksgiving. My cousin Dustin is a photographer and has worked with some really famous people. We don't get to see him much, but he was up for thanksgiving and took our family pictures. It was the best picture taking experience ever. It was getting dark and so we just pulled over on the side of the road and took about 12 pictures in about 4 minutes. The kids cooperated even though Anthony was sick. I remember the days of kids crying and fighting or making funny faces etc. It was great to get it done so quick and come out with some nice pictures. Thanks Yobi!

We had a family fish taco night. We caught a lot of fish on our trip to oregon and it was stinking up our freezer. I decided it was time to use it. Everyone came over and we had a great dinner and then we went through some family pictures my mom had. We had a good time together.

Our funny boy Anthony eating smores.

Toothless Lily! Angel loves to watch her eat. Especially Apples. She has to eat from the side of her mouth and takes tiny bites like a little animal!

We roasted weenies and had smores in our back yard. Thats as close as it gets to camping for our family. Whenever I tell Angel I want to go camping, he replies, "I grew up with no electricity or running water, why would I want to do that for fun?" Its true, but I still know the kids would love it.

Last day for the Little Luann snack for the '08 season. They sold Lemonade, chicken quesadillas, candy and apples. They made$28.00

I took the kids to zion over fall break. We hiked the emerald pools. It was the perfect time of year to go. My friend Stacha took her kids and their friends. It was a lot of fun!
