11 cousins and counting

It has been so fun to have all the cousins together. We are excited to meet Sarah's baby that is due to arrive in about 6 weeks!

February and March

In February Josh turned 39!!! 2012 will be his last year of his thirties :)

Malia played Sandy from Grease in a play her third grade class put on. Her blond wig and sunglasses stole the show....She even made the front cover of the local newspaper!

A typical night at our house usually involves some wrestling.

Noah advanced from being a cub scout to a boy scout and earned his arrow of light.

Christmas Morning

We stuck with tradition and spent the night at Mimi and Papa's house on Christmas Eve.

We also have kept the tradition of making the kids wait on the stairs until ALL cameras are ready to capture the magic of Christmas.

Noah was very excited to get a USC sweatshirt, we can thank Drew for Noah's love for USC.

Cooper got his very own pet lizard...he was so excited.

Malia loved her Liv dolls, along with her new bike that I failed to get a picture of.

Colby got a big boy scooter.... Wow! He has already mastered riding a two wheel scooter.

Both the boys were excited to get leather jackets.

December

In December Cooper lost his first tooth!! He actually lost it as he was dancing with Malia and didn't even realize it had fallen out. My favorite part was when Malia was helping him write a note to the tooth fairy and she asked, " Mom, was the tooth fairy born when you were a kid?"

I tried really hard to just let the kids decorate the tree how they wanted.

It turned out great, I wanted to move a few things around, but I just let it be :)

Malia, Macy and I went ice skating. Malia is a pretty good little skater.

Can you guess who Santa is?

Josh dressed up as Santa for a family in the ward. It was so funny because even after Colby watched him get dressed he still wouldn't go near him for a long time.

Merry Christmas!

Family Pictures

In November we also had our family pictures taken...AGAIN! I had won a gift certificate at a silent auction and hoped to use it in getting a good Christmas picture. I think we succeeded.
These are a few of my favorites.

November

Thanksgiving eve the boys went to California City. Me, Sarah, Mom, and Colby stayed home went to dinner and shopping :) The boys spent the night in Cal City and rode all day on Thanksgiving. They got home just in time for the great dinner we made.

October

October is always a fun month....Pumpkin Patch, carving pumpkins, dressing up, and CANDY!!!

Noah was an 80's Basketball player, Malia was a purple butterfly, Cooper was Frankenstein, and Colby was one of the cutest pirates I have ever seen.

Colby couldn't wait to get home to dig in to his candy.
