This is my little buddy! He loves his little buddy Elmo! He got a new "big" bed a while ago, and he has been doing so good sleeping on his own. He has slept on his own for quite a while now, but he was so happy to get a bed like his cousins.

He fell asleep like this. He is just so adorable when he is sleeping! He has been so sweet lately. He was just laying on my lap tonight because he wanted to! Gotta love that!

We Have this awesome place here that you can go feed the Elk and the Buffalo. The Buffalo were not around this day, but the kids loved it. It was Emily's first time there and actually caring about it. She was so mad when we ran out of carrots. She went up to other people later and started begging for their carrots, it was pretty cute! Daniel is an old pro with the Elk. He loves going there. He thinks that we only buy carrots for feeding the buffalo...and sadly...maybe we do?! hehehe! I guess I better get on that...

This is my hubby, Doug! We took a temple trip the other day, and thought I would sneak a picture in. Isn't he cute?! He is wearing my sunglasses, but he pulls them off pretty good doesn't he?

Dougs mom watched the kids for us, so we go the whole day to ourselves! For all you Utahns out there, yes, it takes all day to go to the temple here. 3 1/2 hours there, 2 hours in, and 3 1/2 hours back. It was nice to go to the temple, but just as nice to have an uninterupted car ride! Those are few and far between lately! :o)

This is just another fun day at work. The kids were playing dress up, and loving every minute of it. Daniel was a dinasaur, and Emily was a ballerina/little house on the prarie girl!

She wore those shades almost all day. She loves sun glasses! I have picture after picture of her in sun glasses, because anytime she sees them, she puts them on. I think she looks so cute in them!

A few weeks ago Raelyn came to visit. This was her first flight, and as far as I know, enjoyed the experience. Daneil and Emily were a little shy at first, but as you can see in the pictures she won them over pretty quick.

Daniel called her his girlfriend and carried her purse for her everywhere. It was adorable! She spent most of the time with her friend (that is who is kissing Daniels other cheek), but stayed with us for a while. We went out to breakfast, took her to dinner at a Japanese steak house, and just had alot of fun.

Daniel still asks where Raelyn is, and when I tell him she is in Utah, he asks why we can't got here too...

Hopefully he remembers her when we visit this year. It will be fun to see how he reacts when he sees her again.

We had beautiful weather the other day, and decided to take a trip to the park to enjoy it to the fullest. Emily had a blast! This was her first time on a big slide that she could go down all by herself. It was so cute! It was carry her up, slide down, and carry her up again for about 30 minutes straight. You would think I would be in better shape!

Daniel swung on the swings the entire time! It is his favorite past-time. He loves to swing high up to the sky! He is learning to pump, but loves his dad to push him the best, because he can go the highest then!

Daniel got Curious George P.J.'s for Christmas and a Curious George stuffed animal, as you can tell he loved them! He had a blast opening presents, and at one point said "Mom, I am tired of opening presents!" Poor boy, huh! :o)

Emily could have cared less about everything. She got an apple in her stocking, and that is all she cared about. She ate that all morning, and at one point crawled onto daddy's lap, picked up his arm and put it on her. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen!

We spent Christmas all over the place. Some of it with my boss and their family, and then the rest with Doug's family. It was just a really great day!

But thank goodness, we finally took the tree down and our house is back to normal! I love the holidays, but I also just love the day to day life!
