Priceless.

Here is what I saw as I peered out my window to see what the kids were up to...when they said they wanted to go outside:

All you need are a blanket, a couch, a table with 3 chairs

a coat, some gloves, a few stuffed animals, and....

a best friend:)

I love to see this. Makes me so so so happy.

Uuummmmmm....

Please tell me you love that face. I do! So funny! She is getting SO old...she now cuddles and cares for all the babies lying around the house. I walked in to this sight, except she was just sitting by the baby on the dora couch and when I went to grab my camera, this is what I shot. I cannot believe that she is old enough to be taking care of babies!!! STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mountains and Bugs

Evan: "Mom. Where are the mountains? I cant see the mountains."

Mom: (laugh...) "I know you cant see them because of the snow...huh."

Evan: "Ya. I cant see them cause the snow blowed them away."

_______________________________________________

Evan: (falls to the floor and grabs his foot, and in frustration says...) "UGH. Why are you on me bugs?!"

Mom: "Whats wrong Ev?"

Evan: "The bugs are on my foot mom, and theyre hurting me....ugh"

(his foot fell asleep)

These little brains cease to amaze me.

The art of eating olives

Mayci has discovered the correct way of eating olives. How? It continues to boggle my mind the way these little tiny people figure these things out! From sitting up, to crawling...I mean really...its not like we crawl around for them to mimic. To walking, running, and even down to the way you are supposed to eat olives.

I just sat in amazement. Is that pathetic? I watched her pick it up, check it out, notice the hole, and then attempt and succeed at poking her little fat finger in the hole and eat it off her finger.

I love her. So much.

Cabin Fever!

I wonder how many days or weeks it would take for me to come down with 'cabin fever' here! We literally sat...and sat....and SAT. But it was blissful...truly. No TV. No everyday stress and schedule. Just family. Games. Snow fun. And sitting. A lot of sitting:) So happy to be putting this cabin to good use...couldnt have had a better time...sitting:)

Christmas 2010

Here is a caption of just what we were up to during Christmas!!



Mayci baby...Christmas morning...

Christmas morning...Evan's much desired Toy Story:)

I just have to apologize to Aunt Cole. If you notice her in the background...she may look like she didnt sleep at all Christmas Eve. Well, she didnt. Im sorry Cole for keeping you up all night.
Love,
Mayci
PS: you are still as beautiful as ever:)

Waiting to see what santa left behind the wall...

I always knew he faked sleeping when the kids dozed on him:) haha! Caught ya!
Here are a few pics of the very tired and worn out kids. Too much fun at the beach!!

Dad in his element...digging tunnels and playing in the sand right along with the kids. Might be my favorite thing to see...HIM playing with the kids!

Rae trying to 'sled' down the sand.

Is there a more beautiful picture....? NO!

Red and Blue only go together here:

...and here...

CLASSIC!

Gramma spoiled Raegan with love...and some sweet hairdo's. Have I attempted a few of them since we got home...yes. Have I failed miserably...yes. Maybe if I have 4 more girls, who actually LET me practice on them, I might get there someday:)
LOVE YOU GRAMMA. Thanks for the special attention.

beautiful duo...don't ya think. wow.

Veggin'...in the rain.

More special attention from gramma. Playin some games while the rain came down...

Thanks again gramma, grampa, cole, ho, and the anderton fam for making this Christmas a delight. We made the most of the rain...playing board games, using the church gym to play ball, enjoying eachothers company, going out for dinner, watching movies, spinning every morning together, and more! It was actually quite enjoyable. But when the sun shone through, we loved the beach, the sand, the waves, the walks, and most of all the company!

It was a very Merry Christmas...and one to always remember!
